Oldsmokeys Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees—Summer 2014 President’S Message—Al Matecko OldSmokeys Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees—Summer 2014 President’s Message—Al Matecko You represent the finest our nation has. You have dedicated your lives to what is truly The Greatest Good! All of you have had a hand in providing the goods and services our country has needed. When fires or volcanoes exploded, you were there; not only to address the immediate crisis, but more importantly to help those who were impacted. The highest calling we all face is taking the time to care about one another, and you exemplify that to the highest degree possible. As your President, I am in your debt for all you have taught me, and I am honored to carry on the tradition passed on by all of you. One of you whom I’d like to thank is Linda Goodman, our Past President, for her fine work, helpful advice, and caring spirit during the past year. One of the questions we always asked folks before we hired them was “What type of outreach did you do?” Of each of us OldSmokeys, I’d like to ask “How do you reach out to the current workforce?” Many of you are already doing this. Others would like to, but can’t. As your President, one of my goals is to increase the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Association’s visibility with the current U.S. Forest Service workforce. I will work with our Membership Chairman and our Forest Representatives to ensure that we contact all the Forest Supervisors and Station Managers . Doing so has the dual purpose of (1) increasing membership and (2) helping pass on the legacy and stories of the past. Books have been written about our history, but I would surmise most of our current workforce hasn’t heard of them or read them. Thus it becomes our chal- lenge to reach out to them and help them flourish. I cherish each of you and what you accomplished in your careers. Now is the time for others to hear our stories, understand our herit- age, and reach for and attain new goals. If you have thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, please let me know. See you at the picnic!

OldSmokeys Newsletter — Summer 2014 Page 2 Forum An Agency to Match the Mountains Vision Seeks U.S. Forest Service Champions Rarely—if ever—is a vision realized without a champion or champions willing to consider it, refine it, and advance it. Alt- hough the vision for “An Agency to Match the Mountains” was promulgated throughout the leadership of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Forest Service, the concept seems not to be gaining traction in Washington, D.C., and no national-level champion has emerged. It appears we must look elsewhere for champions.

  • Stewardship Contracting on the Malheur National Forest
    Stewardship Contracting on the Malheur National Forest February 2018 In September 2013, a ten year stewardship contract was awarded to Iron Triangle to complete restoration work on the Malheur National Forest in eastern Oregon’s Blue Mountains. The contract was awarded largely in response to the imminent closure of a mill in the town of John Day, a local crisis that created an unlikely alliance of industry and environmentalists. Ultimately, state and federal government officials intervened to save the mill through an innovative stewardship contract. In order for the mill to remain operational, they needed assurance of a consistent and long term supply of wood. While stewardship contracts have been used by the Forest Service since 1999, this contract is significant for its ten year commitment and the benefit it brings to the local community. Implementation After sending out a request for proposals, when the mill was saved, new opportunities Malheur National Forest awarded a ten were created locally because the contract year Integrated Resource Service Contract could assure enough supply to sustain (IRSC) to Iron Triangle, a contractor based businesses Residents report an increase in out of John Day. Under the IRSC, Iron help wanted signs around the town of John Triangle implements approved thinning Day, and an estimated 101 new jobs were projects on the Malheur NF and sells the supported in the first year of the contract.2 logs to Malheur Lumber Company and other sawmills.

Ecosphere 9(8):e02400. 10.1002/ecs2.2400 Abstract. A major goal of managers in fire-prone forests is restoring historical structure and composition to promote resilience to future drought and disturbance. To accomplish this goal, managers require infor- mation about reference conditions in different forest types, as well as tools to determine which individual trees to retain or remove to approximate those reference conditions. We used dendroecological reconstruc- tions and General Land Office records to quantify historical forest structure and composition within a 13,600 ha study area in eastern Oregon where the USDA Forest Service is planning restoration treatments. Our analysis demonstrates that all forest types present in the study area, ranging from dry ponderosa pine-dominated forests to moist mixed conifer forests, are considerably denser (273–316% increase) and have much higher basal area (60–176% increase) today than at the end of the 19th century.

  • 2016 Oregon Big Game Hunting Outlook Conditions for Big Game and Hunters Are Looking Much Better Than They Were a Year Ago
    2016 Oregon Big Game Hunting Outlook Conditions for big game and hunters are looking much better than they were a year ago. Back in August of last year, 100 percent of Oregon was in severe drought and 50 percent in the even worse category of “extreme drought.” While parts of NE and SE Oregon are still experiencing a severe drought, conditions have improved across the state. “We had normal winter precipitation and a wet spring,” says Autumn Larkins, ODFW Assistant District Wildlife Biologist for Harney County. “Water availability is much better this year.” It’s a similar story in northeast Oregon. “The weather is much better suited to deer and elk production as opposed to last year’s record drought,” said Mark Kirsch, ODFW District Wildlife Biologist in Umatilla County. The increased water also better distribute animals during hunting season, rather than cluster them around fewer water sources. It should help distribute early season hunters, too— especially those pronghorn and bowhunters who crowded around the few water holes to set hunting blinds in recent years. The conflict between hunters over blind placement has gotten so bad that ODFW and BLM recently put together a flyer reminding hunters of the rules and good etiquette Now wildlife biologists are crossing their fingers for rains in September. These early fall rains green up forage and help big game put on weight, so animals head into breeding season in good body condition and fit to reproduce. Despite the increased moisture, fire is still a threat throughout Oregon. Most forestlands will have restrictions (such as no campfires) during fire season, and some private lands will be closed to public access entirely.

  • The Case Study of the Ron Tonkin Field/ Hillsboro Hops Public-Private Partnership
    CASE STUDY The Case Study of the Ron Tonkin Field/ Hillsboro Hops Public-Private Partnership The Hillsboro City Council set out to expand the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex and bring professional baseball to town as a means of enhancing residents’ quality of life. In doing so, the Council had several goals, including: 1. To create a facility that could be used year-round for youth sports, adult sports, special and community events. 2. To continue to support fields for public use, particularly to support athletic programs of the Hillsboro School District, as well as regional and state university athletic programs. 3. To support local youth with the creation of new jobs. 4. To support economic development in Hillsboro and help local businesses by increasing tourism spending and related entertainment spending. 5. To build regional and national awareness of Hillsboro as a means of highlighting our exceptional community. After a significant investment of time to gather and evaluate all available information in order to reach the best informed decision, the Hillsboro City Council authorized a public-private partnership with Short Season, LLC, owners of the soon-to-be named Hillsboro Hops. The agreement called for Short Season, LLC to relocate the team from Yakima and begin play in Hillsboro in June 2013 at the Gordon Faber Recreation Complex. In the Hops’ first three years playing at Hillsboro Ballpark/Ron Tonkin Field (renamed in 2014), the team sold more than 430,000 tickets. In addition to hosting the only professional baseball team in the Portland metro area, Ron Tonkin Field continues to play host to high school football, soccer, baseball, and charity fundraising events.

  • Malheur National Forest 431 Patterson Bridge Rd, John Day, OR, 97845 Contact: Pattie Hammett – 541.575.3144 April 8, 2013
    Malheur National Forest 431 Patterson Bridge Rd, John Day, OR, 97845 www.fs.usda.gov/malheur Contact: Pattie Hammett – 541.575.3144 April 8, 2013 10-Year Stewardship Timber Contract Announced JOHN DAY, OR – The Malheur National Forest will offer a 10-year timber contract that will provide a predictable and sustainable volume of timber, employ local people and assist the local economy while getting crucial restoration work done on the land, Forest officials announced today. The stewardship authority the Forest will use allows the agency to fund forest restoration activities with revenue from timber sales – traditional timber sale revenue goes directly to the Treasury. By retaining these receipts, the Forest will be able to have additional restoration projects, which also means additional employment. A 10-year contract would allow the ability to treat large landscape areas providing much needed restoration. “After careful consideration, I made the decision that the volume in the contract will be 70 – 80 percent of our total volume offered each year,” said Malheur National Forest Supervisor, Teresa Raaf. “This amount will guarantee the awardee of the contract a consistent, sustainable amount of volume which will also offer benefits to local communities by providing a stable economic environment that would support local businesses in Grant and Harney counties.” The Malheur expects to offer 55 million board feet of timber this year, and increase that amount to 75 mmbf by 2015. Timber firms would have to bid on and win the contract in competition with others. Local mills play an important role in Grant and Harney counties as they have the ability to harvest material from the Forests at a reasonable cost.
