pied by the producer’s cat-
tle,” the announcement
stated. “ODFW person-
nel may also participate in
eff orts to reduce wolf-live-
stock confl ict through lethal
removal of some members
of the Chesnimnus Pack.”
If all four wolves allowed
under the new permit are
taken, it would thoroughly
decimate the Chesnimnus
pack. Adam Baylor of the
ODFW said the pack is esti-
mated to have six to seven
wolves including the breed-
ing pair.
Baylor said June 20, that
no wolves had yet been
taken under the new permit.
An ODFW biologist
shot a yearling male wolf
from the pack June 13 and
an agent of Crow Creek
rancher Tom Birkmaier
shot another May 3. Those
wolves were taken under a
kill permit issued April 29
by ODFW. The second kill
ended the validity of the
April 29 permit.
The
ODFW
has
acknowledged
Birkmai-
er’s repeated eff orts to ward
off wolves with nonlethal
measures, including lights,
noise-makers and human
presence.
Birkmaier was unavail-
able for comment June 20, as
he is often out of cellphone
range working his cattle.

IN BRIEF
First suspected
case of monkeypox
in Oregon
SALEM — The fi rst sus-
pected case of monkeypox
has emerged in Oregon.
The Oregon Health
Authority said Thursday,
June 16, that an unidenti-
fi ed man who is believed to
be infected had traveled to a
community with confi rmed
cases. It said he is isolated
and following public health
recommendations.
The federal Centers for
Disease Control and Preven-
tion is conducting a confi r-
matory test, the state said.
It did not release the man’s
name, age or area of resi-
dence; nor did it say were he
had traveled.
The health authority said
it’s working with the CDC,
public health offi cials and
the man’s providers to iden-
tify anyone who might have
been exposed.
The virus does not spread
easily. Health offi cials have
identifi ed 84 cases in 18
states. No one has died.
