Committee OKs
Oregon predator
control districts
BY MATEUSZ PERKOWSKI
Capital Press
Predator control districts, in
which landowners tax them-
selves to pay for federal trap-
pers, would become perma-
nent in Oregon under a bill
that passed a key legislative
committee Thursday.
Lawmakers initially ap-
proved self-funding predator
control districts in 2015, re-
sponding to declining county
funding for the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture’s Wildlife
Services, but the law is sched-
uled to sunset next year.
Landowners in Douglas and
Coos counties have created
predator control districts since
the initial legislation passed,
assessing themselves up to $1
per acre to pay wildlife services
agents to kill predators that en-
danger their livestock.
Harney County is also con-
sidering the formation of a
district.
Ranchers who testified in
support of House Bill 3167,
which would remove the sun-
set and make the program
permanent, said the districts
have proven effective since the
Flights
Continued from A1
Although Redmond Airport
already offers frequent flights
to Los Angeles, this will be
Redmond’s first route to an air-
port in the region that isn’t the
infamously crowded and cha-
otic Los Angeles International
Airport, commonly dubbed
LAX.
Not only is Hollywood Bur-
bank less of a mess than LAX,
but it is also much closer to
certain Los Angeles tourist
hotspots, like Hollywood and
Universal Studios. And as any
Angelino can tell you, avoid-
ing the 405 — the interstate
highway next to LAX that’s
frequently a parking lot — is a
big plus.
“Anecdotally, we’ve heard
from our customers a lot of
support for a flight into Bur-
bank,” Bass said.
Jon Stark — executive direc-
tor of the Redmond Economic
Development Inc. nonprofit —
said frequent flyers from many
Redmond-based companies,
particularly those in tech and
manufacturing, have long de-
original legislation passed six
years ago.
Proponents of HB 3167 said
they regularly use nonlethal
measures such as guard dogs,
electrified fencing and night
cameras, but need predator
control assistance from wild-
life services to keep their busi-
nesses sustainable.
Apart from coyotes, cougars,
bobcats and foxes that prey
on livestock, landowners must
also contend with bears that
have learned to chew the bark
from young trees, the bill’s sup-
porters said.
The original legislation came
up against resistance from ani-
mal rights groups, which have
now argued against eliminat-
ing the sunsets unless funding
is specifically directed to non-
ethal controls.
Humane Voters Oregon,
Wildearth Guardians, De-
fenders of Wildlife and Pred-
ator Defense have argued the
districts in Douglas and Coos
counties haven’t provided
enough data about reduced
wildlife damage, or about how
much money has been raised
and spent.
sired a Los Angeles flight that
avoids LAX.
“LAX is very congested and
hard to get in and out of,” Stark
said. “It’s just easier to do it
through Burbank.”
As for the brand-new Avelo
Airlines, Bass said he and other
airport staff have been in discus-
sions with their leaders since be-
fore COVID-19 hit last year. He
knows many other airline lead-
ers who left major companies to
join Avelo, he said.
“We knew it was reputable
and serious,” Bass said of Avelo.
Bass hopes this new op-
tion to visit Los Angeles will
maintain locals’ loyalty with
Redmond Airport. For every
Central Oregon-based traveler
leaving on a plane, 83% choose
to fly out of Redmond, while
only 16% choose to drive to
Portland and 1% depart from
Eugene, he said.
“Instead of driving over the
pass and dealing with Portland,
they choose us,” Bass said. “So
we keep trying to find them
new opportunities and connec-
tions.”

Pollinators
Continued from A1
Bend Pollinator Pathway’s
first work this spring is plant-
ing a native pollinator habitat
at Worthy Brewing’s Garden
Club on the east side of Bend
and then adding gardens
all the way to the Deschutes
River.
Klopp and a group of vol-
unteers will plant gardens
along the Veterans Memorial
Bridge on Newport Avenue, at
the intersection of Wall Street
and Bond Street, at Franklin’s
Corner Community Garden
and at three roundabouts in
the Orchard District neigh-
borhood.
Those interested in volun-
teering or creating their own
gardens, can visit the Bend
Pollinator Pathway website at
www.pollinator-pathway.org/
towns/bend, or join the Face-
book group at www.facebook.
com/BendPollinatorPathway.
“We know it has been
proven that some pollinators
can only travel a certain dis-
tance away from their nest
or their food source,” Klopp
said. “If we have an area across
Bend that is a continuous hab-
itat, we can support the most
diverse pollinators.”
Cheryl Howard, the city
of Bend volunteer coordina-
tor who oversees pollinator
gardens, said she has worked
with Klopp since 2014, when
Klopp started volunteering at
Franklin’s Corner Community
Garden at Ninth Street and
Franklin Avenue.
Klopp received a $1,500
grant through a Mt. Bache-
lor program to install a native

Week and distribute native
pollinator plants for free to
Bend residents.
Other events will be an-
nounced on the project’s Face-
book page.
“A lot of people are aware
of the troubles of our pollina-
tors,” Klopp said. “I think peo-
ple really want to do some-
thing to help out.”
