SW 3-6 W 4-8 Boardman Pendleton SSW 4-8 SSW 4-8 Thursday, December 27, 2018 Recycling rate short of 2020 goal SALEM (AP) — Oregon is unlikely to reach its goal of recycling and recovering 52 percent of the waste gen- erated in the state by 2020. The Statesman Journal reports that Oregonians recy- cled and recovered about 42.8 percent of all waste in the state in 2017. That’s just a slight increase from the state’s 42.2 percent rate in 2016. The state’s lackluster performance emerged in a report released last week by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality. The rate in the annual report reflects the waste that is recovered through recycling and other means, including composting and incinerating to generate energy. Peter Spendelow, waste reduction specialist with the Oregon Department of Envi- ronmental Quality, said it’s not realistic that the state will meet the 2020 recycling goal. The change in the state’s recycling fortunes came from Staff photo by E.J. Harris Stacks of baled cardboard sit ready to be shipped out at Sanitary Disposal Inc. on Nov. 30, 2017, in Hermiston. unanticipated circumstances. The 2015 closure of a paper mill in Newberg that handled large amounts of wood waste has dragged down the state’s rate. Other mills have stopped accepting wood waste because of strict federal air quality rules, Spendelow said. As a result, more con- tractors are taking their con- struction waste to landfills, at a time when the overall waste generated in Oregon is on the rise amid a booming economy. The prospect of miss- ing the 2020 goal doesn’t mean recycling machinery is idling. In 2017, Oregon recovered 2.3 million tons of waste for recycling, energy and composting. Overall, Oregonians put 5.4 million tons of waste into garbage and recycling bins. That’s up 2.7 percent from 2016, but still below a pre-recession peak in 2006. Rogue Pack wolves take down seventh cow at Jackson County ranch MEDFORD (AP) — Authorities say gray wolf OR-7’s Rogue Pack has killed another cow at a northeastern Jackson County ranch, marking the seventh confirmed live- stock kill attributed to the pack since late October. The Mail Tribune reports that the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife reports that the dead and partially consumed cow was found Sunday on a ranch in the Boundary Butte area where the Rogue Pack has killed before, but a report did not identify the ranch. The Boundary Butte area is in the vicinity of rancher Ted Birdseye, who has lost at least four cows and a guard dog that were confirmed as wolf kills in the Rogue Pack’s home range so far in 2018. In Sunday’s case, a live- stock producer discov- ered one of his 8-month- old, 550-pound calves dead in private-land grass pas- ture that morning, and an ODFW biologist estimated it had been dead any- where from 12 to 48 hours, according to an ODFW report. Extensive feeding was discovered on the hind- quarters and internal organs, but the carcass and hide were largely intact, the report states. Tooth scrapes and bite marks were found on the hind legs and multiple deep bites on the neck, the report states. Along with other evi- Crater Lake, Mount Rainier limited after government shutdown SALEM (AP) — Access to Crater Lake and Mount Rainier national parks will be limited due to the government shutdown. The Statesman Journal reports the lapse in federal funding prompted Crater Lake managers to close the visitor’s cen- ter, cancel ranger-guided snowshoe trips dence, the biologist con- cluded the wounds and muscle trauma “are clear signs of predator attack and the size, number and loca- tion of the bite injuries are similar to injuries observed in calves attacked by wolves,” the report states. The report states that the Rogue Pack previously had killed livestock on that par- ticular property, but it pro- vides no other detail. One other cow was killed on the ranch in November, and one of Birdseye’s guard dogs was killed in a wolf attack in mid-November, according to the ODFW. Four head of cattle killed in October in Klamath County were also attributed to the Rogue Park. and close the road to the lake’s rim. Mount Rainier closed its road to popu- lar winter recreation destination Paradise. Both places remain technically open but, as with most national parks and mon- uments, there will be almost no services, including search and rescue. The federal government shutdown will impact the more than 400 national parks and monuments. In Oregon, that includes John Day Fossil Beds and Oregon Caves national monuments, in addition to Lewis and Clark National Historical Park.
