Jacob Sheep Breeders to raffle afghan Tina Business owners eligible for aid Gretchen Sorensen, regional administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has announced that small business owners in Morrow and Umatilla counties are now eligible for low interest loans to offset economic losses because of reduced revenues to farmers and ranchers caused by heavy rain, flash flooding, hail and high winds, which occurred from Feb. 1-July 19, 1995.

This alternative will re sult in two timber sales in Mor row County, Oregon: Lone Star Salvage (harvesting 3.9 million board feet from 1,155 acres) and Hitching Post Sal vage (harvesting 1.7 million board feet from 506 acres). Roadside hazard tree removal will occur along 9 miles of haul routes. Four miles of FS Road 2107 will be reconstructed to add rock to the roadbed and improve drainage. Fourteen miles of temporary roads will be reopened or constructed. All temporary roads will be obli terated after harvest is com pleted. This alternative will recover economic value from dead and beetle-infested trees; improve safety and accessibili ty, and reduce cost of main tenance along travel routes; and reduce fuel levels and con tinuity to help control wildfires when they occur. There is an identifiable sal vage component (harvest of dead trees would occur on 97% of the acres). As such, the deci sion for this project is exempt from appeal. If you would like a copy of the Decision Notice or have any questions, please contact Betsy Kaiser at (503) 676-9187.
