TEN The Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon, Thursday January 18, 1979 USFS Heppner plan Soroptimist citizenship awards Cont. from page 9 areas would be allocated to activities which provide com modities and various levels of dispersed recreation oppor tunities. A considerable por tion of the roadless areas (55 per cent), although allocated to commodity objectives, would have a classification of limited access, meaning those roads built to support timber harvest would be closed to public automobile traffic..." Such "commodity object ives," if implemented in the six RARE II roadless areas, "would be considered irrever sible from the standpoint of wilderness designation be cause of road construction and timber harvest," the enviro mental statement noted. Once logging starts in the Heppner Unit RARE II areas, recently passed over for federal wilder ness status, any hopes for future wilderness classifica tions will apparently be dashed. According to the Forest Service rationale for choosing alternative E as the preferred land use plan, none of the Unit's six RARE II roadless areas "were judged to be highly suitable for wilderness. Several of the areas are quite small by wilderness stand ards, and none of the areas have unique or unusual land forms, ecosystems or wildlife. Collectively, the highest rated characteristic of these areas is their availability. However, none is judged to be highly desirable or needed as wilder ness. ..The Texas Butte and Kelly Prairie areas were found to have a relatively high tradeoff of commodity re sources." Seminoe indicated that tent ative plans call for logging operations to begin in the Texas Butte roadless area in 1983. Old growth timber to remain At least five per cent of the Heppner Unit's non-deferred timberland will be devoted to old growth timber stands in the 240-360 year-old age stage. In order to maintain that percentage of old growth timber, a significant amount of younger tree acreage must be set aside. For every 30 acre block of old growth timber that reaches harvest stage at 240-360 years, 90 acres must be set aside in rotation to provide for continuity. According to the draft statement, there will always be at least an average of 30 acres per square mile in an old growth habitat situation. The size and distribution of the old growth parcels will vary throughout the district. They will be determined in an upcoming Old-Growth Habitat Resource Management Plan. Under the preferred alterna tive, in the Heppner Unit's non-deferred commercial forest land, at least 20,024 acres would be devoted to old-growth habitat. The Forest Service projects that stream sedimentation would be lower than present levels under the preferred alternative, but notes in an enviromental effects sum mary that under the preferred alternative, there will be a "slight reduction of potential anadromous fish popula tions." The report states that in all forest activities, "state and federal water quality standards will be met." JVetc campground atPenland Lake Other than building a camp ground facility at Penland Lake, the Forest Service has no plans for adding major recreation facilities or trails in the Heppner Unit under the preferred alternative. Although the Heppner Unit encompasses parts of Grant, Wheeler and Umatilla counties, the lion's share of the district lies in Morrow County. Under the preferred alternative, counties would receive an estimated $583,704 in timber severance tax funds up from the current level of $507,056. Currently, the Heppner Unit returns $1,059,520 to the U.S. Treasury from timber sales. The rate is expected to rise to $1,219,680 under the preferred alternative. given to HHS students The Heppner Unit Manage ment Plan, once approved or amended, will be incorporated into a management plan for the Umatilla National Forest as a whole. Seminoe noted that the plan "is not carved in stone," and will be subject to review "at least on a ten year basis, and often more frequently." Heppner Soroptimist Club held it's regular meeting Thursday, Jan. 11, at West of Willow. Among guests of honor were Marie Yocom and Barb Devine, both seniors at Hep pner High School, Michele Portmann, student counselor, and the girl's mothers, Hilda Yocom and Barbara Bloods worth. Miss Devine and Miss Yocom were the recipients of the Soroptimist citizenship awards, which were presented to them by Soroptimist presi dent Marlene Gray. Also a guest, and the featured speaker, was Ray mond De Jong, an Australian exchange student who has been staying with the Clifford Green family. Mrs. Green (Cindy) accompanied Ray mond as a guest of the club. Mr. De Jong showed some fascinating slides of Australia along with a well-informed and interesting narration.
