Briefl y From World news services The Yakima Herald-Republic

A proposed U.S. Forest Service project in a year-round outdoor recreation destination northwest of Yakima calls for commercial timber harvest, prescribed burning and the decommissioning of 35 miles of the area’s most rugged and minimally maintained roads.

The Naches Ranger District unveiled plans last week for its proposed Little Crow Restoration project, which spans east and west of the Little Naches 1900 Road, a corri-dor popular with campers, horseback riders, motorized trail riders, berry and mushroom pickers, hunters and anglers.

The Forest Service is asking for public input, and any disruption of road use or visitor access in an area treasured by recreationists is likely to be met with public outcry. But it isn’t hard to see the need for restoration.

The Little Naches 1900 Road, like State Route 410 all the way there,

bisects large swaths of forest that are discolored by insect blight and parasit-ic disease, thick with fi r-and-hemlock understory and dried out from a string of long, hot fi re seasons.

The Tapash Sustainable Forest Collaborative — a partnership of state, federal, tribal and private agencies assessing forest health needs across a 1.6 million-acre landscape — put a high priority on the Little Naches.

Besides serving as habitat for such listed species as northern spotted owls, Middle Columbia steelhead and bull trout and as migration corridors for elk and mule deer, it contains resident trout and anadro-mous chinook and coho salmon and summer-run steelhead.

But with the area’s aging road network taking a toll on those waters, the restoration will reduce artifi cial barriers to fi sh migration caused by

erosion and stream crossings by roads and trails.

And with the Upper Yakima Basin’s current snow-water equivalent at 13 percent of normal, wildland fi re experts are expecting a fi re season that starts early and runs late — in a forest sated with fuel and primed for a large-scale fi re.

Among other things, the proposal calls for:

◆ Commercial harvesting of the most fi re-susceptible trees — Douglas, Pacifi c silver and grand fi r, western larch and hemlock, and smaller ponderosa pine — across 6,500 acres, which would entail construction of up to 13 miles of temporary roads and skid trails to handle the logging tra� c;

◆ Thinning of small trees less than 7 inches in diameter over 14,500 acres;

◆ Prescribed burning of 24,800 acres, including the acreage identifi ed for commercial timber harvest and

most of the area to be thinned; ◆ Selected-area planting of more

desirable species and control of invasive species in other areas;

◆ Riparian treatments, such as use of supplementary large, woody debris to improve fi sh habitat and barriers to discourage people from driving near or over waterways;

◆ Road closures and decommis-sioning of nearly a quarter of the 146 miles of system road in the 55,000-acre project area. Nearly all of that will be on what the Forest Service calls Maintenance Level 1 and Level 2 roads. The former are intermittent service roads, and the latter are roads that are passable only to high-clearance vehicles.

Some specifi ed “hazard trees” might be removed from recreation sites such as the Kaner Flat and Ponderosa campgrounds, and the Raven Roost trailhead might be improved to increase the turning radius and harden and level the parking area.

FALL RIVER, MASS.

Judge in ex-NFL star’s murder trial warns of mistrial

The judge in former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez’s murder trial on Thursday reprimanded a local television station after two jurors reported being followed by one of its trucks, warning the incident could have led to a mistrial.

After the jury in Fall River, Massachusetts, deter-mines whether he killed semiprofessional football player Odin Lloyd, he will face a trial in Boston on charges of fatally shooting two Cape Verdean men outside a nightclub in 2012.

NEW YORK CITY

NBA player Chris Copeland, wife stabbed

NBA player Chris Copeland of the Indiana Pacers and his wife were stabbed during a dispute outside a New York City nightclub early on Wednesday and hospi-talized with non-life-threat-ening injuries. The Pacers forward, 31, was stabbed in the abdomen and the elbow and is in stable conditions his wife, Katrine Saltara, 28, was also stabbed.

and left him at 8 under with four holes to play. But he hit too much club for his second shot at the reachable par-5 15th and bogeyed the hole after taking 4 more strokes from 40 yards behind the green.

“I wasn’t aware of what the course record was here, let alone that it actually would have been the lowest round in major championship history,” Spieth said. “So that’s a little frustrat-ing because I took a hybrid instead of a 4-iron out on 15.

“But I’m certainly OK with the day,” he added with a laugh. “It was kind of one of those moments where I wasn’t really sure where I was at. I just wanted to play the last four 1 under given that 15 was a birdie hole today. Obviously if I birdied, I would have been 10-under.”

However, he got the stroke back at the 18th with a 20-foot birdie putt for the 64, the lowest opening round at a Masters since Greg Norman’s 63 in 1996. Nick Price also shot a 63 at Augusta in 1986.

“It was cool,” Spieth said of the putt on 18. “It was cool when it went in. It was cool to get that extra stroke back. For me, I don’t like fi nishing at a higher score than where I was at some point in the round. I was 8-under through 14 and

I didn’t want to fi nish any worse than 8-under, so it was cool to get that back.”

Spieth opened up some distance early against his pursuers, including a pair of major champions in 45-year-old Ernie Els and Justin Rose, the 2013 U.S. Open champion at Merion Golf Club.

Els and Rose shot 67s, the same score as Jason Day, who has contended twice already for a green jacket, and Charley Ho� man. Sergio Garcia, who is competing in his 65th major but still has yet to win one, was at 68 along with Russell Henley.

Woods, who had played only 47 holes this year entering Thursday, showed some rust but rode his short game and putting to a 73, saying after-ward, “I felt good.”

Rory McIlroy, who needs to win the Masters to complete the modern career Grand Slam, opened with a 71.

Of the 97 starters on Thursday, Els might have provided the most surprising round. The winner of two U.S. Opens and two British Opens had missed the cut this year in four of seven starts and admitted Thursday, “There’s been no sign of any form.”

But the South African carded fi ve birdies in his opening round, and an eagle 3 at 15 briefl y put him in the lead at 6 under. Though he bogeyed the fi nal hole, he felt extremely positive about his round.

“I just felt comfortable,” he said. “I felt at ease for some reason. I felt patient.”
