Board of Forestry subcommittee developing alternative forest management plan process
The Oregon Board of Forestry and Department of Forestry are looking at options to manage Oregon’s state forests to improve conservation outcomes and financial viability. To facilitate this ongoing effort, the Board has created a subcommittee to develop and evaluate alternative management plans for Northwest Oregon state forests. This evaluation will build on previous work that concluded the current plan is not financially viable long-term. The Alternative Forest Management Plan for Northwest Oregon Subcommittee will meet on September 10, 2013 from 1-5 pm in Salem on the Oregon Department of Forestry’s campus. During the September 10 meeting, subcommittee members will approve a process to assess alternative forest management plans, establish policy guidelines to guide stakeholder and staff work, and establish criteria for defining successful outcomes. The Board of Forestry, Oregon Department of Forestry, and the Subcommittee are committed to a transparent and collaborative process. There will be multiple opportunities for public comment throughout the process. To further inform this work, a stakeholder group will convene October 17 to recommend alterna-
tive forest management approaches to the Board. Alternative Forest Management Plan for Northwest Oregon Subcommittee September 10, 2013, 1-5pm Tillamook Room, ODF Headquarters Office at 2600 State Street, Salem, Oregon 97310. Materials will be available online at www.oregonforestry.gov prior to the meeting.

Obituaries
Emmet J Thomas 12/16/30 - 8/31/13 Emmet was born in Cottage Grove, Oregon to Bejamin Stevens and Ula Fader Thomas, the 5th of their 9 children. The family moved to a large farm on Poddle Creek in the Coast Range west of Eugene where he attended a one room elementary school. Eventually the family moved to a smaller farm west of Elmira where he finished high school. He was attending the University of Oregon when he enlisted in the Army during the Korean War. Although he was scheduled to be shipped out to Korea, his shot records were lost and due to time constraints on his enlistment he was transferred to the Medical Corp. He finished his tour of duty at Ft. Ord where he was part of the team that studied and found the cause of San Joaquin Valley Fever. He returned to the University of Oregon and received both a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree. He became a teacher in the Eugene District where he worked for 35 years. He began his career at Wilson and Madison Jr. HIgh Schools where he taught health and coached cross country, gymnastics, soccer, wrestling, and track and field. He also was a hunter safety instructor. He transferred to Sheldon HIgh School where he taught biology. While working on an advanced degree at the University of Oregon he was a Graduate Teaching Fellow. Emmet loved to hunt and fish and to be involved with nature. He could identify trees, flowers and birds by their common and Latin names and he received great joy in sharing his knowledge with others. He traveled extensively on the back roads of every state west of the Mississippi, drove the Al Can Highway to Alaska, and explored western Canada. He used his knowledge of geology, flora, and fauna to make each trip an educational adventure. He often returned with specimens to share with his students. Emmet was taught to be self-sufficient so he could fix anything. He was the person to call whenever something needed to be done. He also loved poetry and could rectie long poems by memory. He loved music especially traditional songs from Scotland, Ireland, and the United States. He was a gentleman who always though of others and put their needs before his own. He had a very quick wit and had many “pearls of wisdom” that will be passed down through the generations. Emmet married twice. He had three children by his first wife. He married Frances Reid in 1970 and they had one daughter. Emmet and Frances had a wonderful marriage of 43 years and were insepa-
rable. He was preceded in death by his parents and his siblings, Donald, Rovert, Woodrow, Francis and Kathleen. He is survived by his wife, Frances; children: Randall, Robert, Glen and Crystal Thomas; grandsons, Kyle, Michael, Logan, and Jack; sisters, Marjorie Olsen and Imogene Johnson; brother Gordon Thomas; and numerous nieces and nephews. He is also survived by his faithful cat, Mighty Paws. Special thanks are extended to Emmet’s devoted care givers, Michele Anderson, Amy Dodge and Amy Cruz and to the physicians, nurses, and staff at the Santiam Medical Clinic in Mill City. A private inurnment will be held at the City View Mausoleum in Salem, OR. HIs family and friends are invited to celebrate his life at an open house at his home in Mill City on Sunday, September 22, 2013 from 2:00-4:00 P.M. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the North Santiam Historical Society, P.O Box 574 Gates, OR 97346; the Mill City Fire Department, Mill City, OR 97360; or the charity of choice.

Are your auto insurance premiums higher than they should be?
Insurers can’t charge more just because you dropped coverage in the past
(Salem) – Oregon Insurance Commissioner Laura Cali is alerting consumers that auto insurers cannot charge them more just because they dropped coverage at some point in the past. This applies to consumers who dropped coverage and didn’t break the law by driving while uninsured. “Consumers who believe they are paying more because of a legitimate lapse in coverage should call our consumer advocates and we’ll look into it,” Cali said. “Agents should also help their clients understand when they are required to have coverage and when they can safely drop coverage they don’t need without being penalized.”
Motorists might drop coverage for many legitimate reasons – they are not using their vehicle while away at college or on military service, they are using alternate transportation, or they no longer own a car, for example. Yet, the Insurance Division’s consumer advocates say consumers call regularly to say their rates increased after a lapse in coverage or that they were told their premiums would go up later if they didn’t maintain coverage in situations where coverage wasn’t required by law. “We are committed to ensuring that Oregonians are treated fairly by insurance companies and agents, and we will take action against companies and agents who don’t comply with the law,” Cali added. Insurance companies can require someone who is applying for insurance to explain why they went without coverage. Many companies provide a checklist so consumers can identify the valid reason that they dropped coverage. Consumer advocates answer questions about all types of insurance and help with complaints from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 888-877-4894 (toll-free).

Truffle hunters now need permits to collect the delectable fungi Truffle hunting - a hobby pursued in Oregon’s forests, not the grocery store candy aisle -has a new set of regulations. These fungal delicacies that grow beneath the soil’s surface were designated a “special forest product” by the Oregon Legislature earlier this year. Anyone who intends to collect truffles in the forest this fall must have a permit issued by the landowner. House Bill 2615 amended the state statute on the harvesting of spe-
cial forest products, ORS 164.183, to broaden the category of “edible mushrooms” to “edible fungi,” thus including truffles. Other special forest products already subject to harvest regulation under the law include firewood, cedar shake bolts, and greens such as tree boughs and salal. HB 2615 also places a requirement on individuals and businesses that buy truffles harvested in Oregon’s forests to maintain a record of their purchases.

By Tim Widmer Rushing to meet our local fishing guide for the day, Arden Corey, owner and head guide for “The Oregon Experience,” started with a frenetic pace. Once fishing licenses had been secured for our trip down the “Pack Saddle” stretch, my wife Karen started talking about living here for so long, and never, ever caught a fish on this river. Arden seemed positive about our chances, and quickly got us on the river in his pontoon boat. Having guided this stretch myself before, I was feeling pretty good with all the amenities. Nice seats, plenty of fishing poles, and a guide who has been running and fishing this stretch for over 30 years. I was amazed how fast we were learning, and felt at ease with Arden’s quiet, yet watchful demeanor. I crossed lines with Karen, and we were in a huge mess. Arden quickly untangled us, and we were back fishing. Checking out holes that potentially contained salmon was my first interest, and I was instructed how to properly drift for steelhead with a bobber and jig. Our first action was at the bottom of some nice rapids, “Swirlies” and we stopped to drop our bait close to 40 feet down in that beautiful, turquoise water. After what seemed like ten minutes I got my first bite. Arden instructed me on what needed to happen, and after following that I felt I landed a big one. The pull on the rod was extraordinary, and I was building up anticipation to what I caught. All of a sudden my rod straightened out, and to the cry of everyone in the boat, just another story of the big one that got away followed. Karen caught a few small fish that day, and I also caught a few trout. Arden mentioned the season was not as good as years past, but I thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere, instruction, and ability to have a classic fishing experience with my wife. Give Arden a call at (503)897-3291 to book your next fishing trip. Prices start at $100.00 for half day trips, minimum of two people. http://www. oregon-experience.com/ (Pictured at top) Tim Widmer at left and Arden Corey at right volunteered to guide Alicia Boyd and her high school volley ball team down the Santiam for a team building exercise.
