Resource team
approves projects
The Resource Management
Interdisciplin ary
Team
(RMIDT) recently approved
categorical exclusions for timber
salvage operations, spring burn
ing projects, and a new manu
facturing facility for W arm
Springs Composite Products.
RM IDT passed resolutions
to approve salvage of timber
blow n dow n during w inter
storms at three primary loca
tions. A§% result o f RMIDT’s
action, windthrown timber will
be salvaged near Bear Springs,
Boxwood and Southgate sale
areas in the weeks and months
ahead. Strong winds blew over
more trees that usual this past
winter and the Branch of For
estry made the request to re
cover trees that will provide an
economic benefit to the Con
federated Tribes.
V The Bear Springs salvage will
target a Volume o f approxi
mately 60*000 board feet of sal
vage timber, Boxwood would

contribute approximately 50,000
board feet, and Southgate ap
proximately 100,000 board feet.
Four areas were approved for
spring burning projects under
the Cat-X process, including
Peters Spring (2,200 acres);
Tenino ’05 (1,169 acres), Tenino
’06 (1,428 acres) and Lower
M utton (940 acres). The burns
will reduce the risk Of cata
strophic wildfire by consuming
hazardous fuels and help rein
troduce the natural element of
fire to the ecosystem.
RMIDT also approved a Cat-
X to construct a '50,000 square
foot manufacturing facility for
Warm Springs Composite Prod
ucts at the Industrial Park lots
13, 14 and 15. The plant will
employ 20-3CK people' and the
building will be designed for
potential future expansion'.
All p f the projects approved
by RMIDT were subject to miti
gation that will protect natural
and cultural resources.
Bush administration again opposes
Mount Hood wilderness expansion
WASHINGTON (AP) -
The Bush administration said
last week it opposes a plan to
expand the Mount Hood wil
derness area _ the second
time in as many years the ad
m inistration has opposed
plans to increase wilderness
prtitectiofis jbii' O regon’s
highest peak.
Oregon S?ns. Ron Wyden
and Gordon Smith proposed
the wilderness expansion in
February. The plan would ex
tend wilderness protection to
an additional 128,600 acres
surrounding M ount Hood
and the C olum bia River
Gorge. The bill would in
crease existing wilderness
protection on the mountain
by about two-thirds and add
“yrild and scenic” protection
to nearly 80 miles of rivers.
The Confederated Tribes
of Warm Springs has sup
ported the plan, but pre
ferred an earlier proposal.
Ron Suppah, chairman of tribes,
testified this year in favor of the
bill, hut said the tribe was con
cerned that some protections
built into last year’s bill were re
moved.
Specifically, Suppah said the
tribe was worried that wilder
ness protections in the Colum
bia Gorge could be extended
close to the city o f Cascade
Locks, where the tribes are plan-
ning to build a casino and re
sort.*
“Full wilderness designation
on the very face of the ridge
running down toward the city of
Cascade Locks could unduly
constrain the city’s economic
options,” Suppah said.
Agriculture Undersecretary
Mark Rey, who directs UVS. for
est policy, said the Bush admin
istration opposes the wilderness
bill as drafted, saying it moves
to seal off more land than ié"
appropriate and includes an un
acceptable land swap.
“While we strongly support
public involvement and com
munity collaboration, the con
cept o f legislating management
direction (on the mountain) is
problematic,” Rey told a Senate
subcommittee. “We find the
land exchange provisions and
several of the wilderness desig
nations to be especially trou
bling.”
Most of the areas proposed
for protection are adjacent to
existing ones to reduce poten
tial conflicts with other recre
ational uses, said Sens. Smith
and Wyden.
W yden, a D em ocrat, and
Smith, a Republican, also intro
duced a bill last year to bring
128,400 acres o f the M ount
Hood National Forest into wil
derness areas, but the plan was
never voted on by the full Sen
ate. The House passed a smaller
wilderness bill that also died.
This year, House members from
Oregon are waiting for the Sen-

ate to act before introducing
their own bill.
The previous Senate bill
ran into trouble when the
Bush administration ques
tioned the amount o f acre
ageinvolved and a proposed
land exchange involving the
owners o f the Mt. H ood
Meadows ski area _ the same
concerns Rey raised Thurs
day.
Rey. said the administra
tion could support as much
as 59,000 acres of new wil
derness on Mount Hood, but
believes the current plan is
too expansive.
H e also questioned the
land swap, saying that to pro
tect the public’s investment,
new appraisals should be per
formed, rather than relying
on previous reports. He also
said Agriculture Secretary
Mike Johanns should have fi
nal say over the appraisal,
something that she can relate
to in her own life.
“I recognized 'that from
my family story,” Jensen ex
plained.
“I found that an important
story to tell,” she added.
Plus, Jensen said, this film
ing project gives her a way to
speak out against her own
government’s participation
with the current war in Iraq.
Karin Sandberg is working
with Jensen on the filming
project and also recently trav
eled to HeHe.
“I t’s a very im po rtant
work that is going on here,’?
Sandberg said.
In Sandberg’s opinion,
“It’s a good feeling to see that
everyone is welcome here.”
“There’s a mixture of pain
and a lot o f love at the same
time,” Jensen said.
