Typically, the U.S. For- est Service awards timber con- tracts by identifying an area with commercially marketable trees, marking the boundaries of the proposed timber sale and estimating the amount of merchantable wood in the sale area. Then, the agency evaluates the fair market value of the timber and opens up a bid- ding process to companies that can meet bonding and other requirements. As the Forest Service ex- panded its forest restoration, fuels reduction and thinning activities, it melded forest management work, which of- ten lacks commercial value, with timber sales. Stewardship brings the two together, allowing the Forest Service to award the commer- cial value that loggers would ordinarily bid on to finance restoration work on national forestland. In 2013, faced with the im- minent closure of Malheur Lumber, Grant County’s lone sawmill and largest private employer, due to an incon- sistent and unreliable timber Brewery Continued from A11 Clatsop County documents show local developer Paul Caruana and his business partners sold the building lo- cated on the corner of 14th and Exchange streets to Break for Beer LLC at the end of Au- gust for more than $1 million.

Providence Heart Clinic North Coast has been using the other side of the building.

Prairie Wood Products officially reopened on July 11. supply, Malheur National For- est officials decided to award a 10-year, $69 million contract to Iron Triangle in a bid to sta- bilize the situation. The contract, which was significantly more long-term and broader in scope than most stewardship deals, ac- celerated timber sales and in- creased the pace of restoration work on the Malheur. The plaintiffs argue that Iron Triangle was awarded the contract based on its prom- ises to maximize the contract’s economic benefits within the contractually defined “local community” of Grant and Harney counties. Not only that, Iron Triangle was to use local loggers, including Rude Logging, Morris Forestry and Engle Contracting, to perform thinning and other steward- ship services. “Put simply,” the lawyers write, “Iron Triangle won the stewardship contract by as- suring the Forest Service in its written proposal that it would administer the contract in a manner that diversified the local economy and promoted the public interest. Once the contract was secured, how- Sasaki and Lawrence are still figuring out ideas and concepts for the location. They have a pre-application meeting scheduled with city staff in October. Sasaki told KMUN he has long been interested in buying buildings in Astoria. His fa- ther, since retired, was a doc- tor in the city and his brother works in private practice here. Sasaki said the final result at the new Breakside location will be something the com- munity will be proud of and it will fit in with the surround- ing businesses. They would like to be open by the spring. “We look forward to it,” Sasaki said, “and we look for- ward to being a further part of the community.” Local breweries and beer-related businesses say they have been hearing word for some time about a poten- tial Breakside taproom open- ing in Astoria. “It was phenomenal having the co-op as neighbors right across the street,” said Josh Allison, the owner of Reach Break Brewery. “They brought a great sense of vibrancy, foot traffic — and really helped boost the community when they were here.” Allison is happy to see an- other business poised to move in and believes Breakside will help bring more people to the business hub off Exchange Street. He’s not worried about the extra concentration of beer Breakside’s arrival will mean. “I think it all is pretty col- laborative, and we kind of work together and feed off each other,” Allison said. “The more options that we have helps just refine the fact that Astoria is a prime craft beer destination.” “A rising tide lifts all ships, so, you know, one more spot in this little area downtown won’t hurt,” agreed Dwayne Smallwood, the owner of Bridge & Tunnel. “It will bring a few more people.” But, he added, it is sur- prising to see someone, es- pecially a business the size of Breakside, looking to open a satellite taproom in Astoria, relatively far from its brewery operations. A Breakside taproom would primarily sell Breakside beers, so Smallwood isn’t worried about a hit to his business. Un- like a taproom that primarily sells its own beers, Bridge & Tunnel offers a wide diversity of labels and types of beer. “So I’m not concerned,” Smallwood said. █ This story is part of a collaboration between The Astorian and Coast Community Radio. ever, Iron Triangle did the ex- act opposite.” In the fall of 2013, after the 10-year stewardship contract was awarded, the lawsuit states Iron Triangle subcontracted logging services to some of the loggers identified in its bid, including plaintiffs Rude Logging and Engle Contract- ing. The contracts established logging service rates of $24 Four Continued from A11 Nearly all of the partici- pating U.K. organizations (86%) said they’ll likely keep four-day schedules after the pilots finish in November. Almost half, 49%, said that productivity had improved, while 46% said it has re- mained stable. “It’s extremely encour- aging to see that,” said Joe O’Connor, chief execu- tive officer of 4 Day Week Global, who had expected organizations to show steadier output. “We would see it as a big productivity success if productivity stayed the same.” Pilot studies are continu- ing in the U.K., U.S., New Zealand, Australia, Ireland and Canada.

The contracts also specified log trucking rates per ton for deliveries to the mills purchasing the logs. A year later, the lawyers ar- gue, Iron Triangle presented contracts to Rude Logging and Engle Contracting, but at reduced rates that also tar- geted timber stands where logging was less efficient and thus more costly due to lower log quality and lower harvest volume per acre. While Engle Contracting declined the work at such an uneconomic rate, Rude Log- ging accepted the reduced rate in 2015 and part of 2016 but barely covered its costs and made little to no profit. From then on, Rude Logging did not accept contract proposals from Iron Triangle. Lawyers for the plaintiffs ar- gue that by presenting uneco- nomic forest stewardship and logging service contracts to purchase and contract loggers in 2014 and 2015, Iron Trian- gle was pursuing a deliberate anti-competitive strategy to eliminate these logging com- panies from competing with Iron Triangle in the Malheur Forest Market Area. the process. “It wasn’t a walk in the park at the start, but no ma- jor change ever is,” said Nicci Russell, managing director of Waterwise, a nonprofit focused on reducing wa- ter consumption. “We have all had to work at it-things like annual leave can make it harder to fit everything in. But the team are pretty happy, and we certainly all love the extra day out of the office.” Once on four-day sched- ules, the companies that struggle are often very small and in fields that necessi- tate five- or seven-day shift coverage, which requires precise scheduling among small numbers of staff. The gift company Bookishly, for example, continues to tin- ker with staffing during busy times.
