LEGAL NOTICE OF DECISION AND APPEAL PERIOD
On January 23, 2012, Douglas H. Jones, Emigrant Creek District Ranger, Malheur National Forest, made a decision on the Dairy Project. The Decision Notice documents his decision to select the Proposed Action Alternative and the factors he considered in reaching his decision. Briefly his decision authorizes moving approximately 1,296 acres of forested stands in the project area toward historic ecosystem conditions with the use of commercial, pre-commercial and biomass removal activities, and reduce open road densities in the subwatershed by 22% in order to reduce sediment in the area streams, reduce harassment of wildlife species, reduce maintenance costs, and meet Forest Plan road density standards while meeting other management objectives.
The decision is subject to administrative appeal according to 36 CFR 215. Appeals must be consistent with 36 CFR 215.14 (content of notice of appeal), and must be made in writing, postmarked, and sent to the Appeal Deciding Officer within 45 days of the date on the written notice of this decision.

CARD OF THANKS
While we traveled, when anyone would comment on the beautiful scenery, Herb’s reply was always, “The view sitting on my front porch is better.” At the end of each day, he enjoyed sitting on the porch swing, with a glass of mint tea, looking over the mint and alfalfa fields.
When we were first married, Herb told me that he thought everyone deep down longed to live on a farm, and he was content when he was able to fulfill his dream. It pleased him to be able to spend time with our son, Herb III, and grandsons Dustin and Hayden and to be able to work in the fields with them.
We would like to thank everyone that attended Herb’s service, burial and dinner. Seeing all of you, hearing your comments about Herb’s life, and talking to you was very comforting for us, Herb’s family. We know he touched your lives and you miss him, just as we do.
Thank you for the cards and letters; reading them helps lighten our grief. The beautiful plants and floral arrangements have cheered us.
We attended both Faith Baptist Church and Crane Fellowship Church. So, it seemed right to include both churches and both Pastor Mikes. Herb enjoyed listening to Pastor Mike Fast and Pastor Mike Schnitker and often we would discuss the message on our trip home after church. I’m going to miss that.
Herb’s brothers, Joe and Tom, had the hard job of standing in front of everyone, reading Herb’s eulogy and obituary. Our son John said he could see Dad standing behind them, placing a supporting hand on their shoulders whenever they faltered.
It wasn’t hard to choose the music for the service. ‘What A Friend We Have In Jesus’ has been Herb’s favorite since we started attending the community church in Orovada, Nev. We liked ‘Will The Circle Be Unbroken’ when we heard Johnny Cash sing it, but loved it when we heard Helen and John perform it at the Old Time Fiddler’s Jamboree. The other song, sung by Michelle Yunker (accompanied on guitar by Vern Brown) was recommended by our niece, Elli. She said it just reminded her of Uncle Herb, and she was right.
To everyone that provided food — thank you. It brought back memories of the first church potluck we attended — Herb went back for seconds and told everyone that he was getting this heaping plate “for his wife.” That earned him an elbow in the ribs. That was also where he first heard one of his favorite expressions, “I only like two kinds of pie, hot pie and cold pie.”
As well, we want to thank everyone at LaFollette’s. They helped us in so many ways during the past few weeks. Herb’s dad, Herb Sr., often commented on how much he appreciated them when Jennette (my Herb’s mom) died. It’s a different generation at LaFollette’s, but the same family tradition of care.
While sometimes the sorrow is almost too much to bear, I know where Herb is, and I know he is free of pain, he is healthy and strong. There was rejoicing as he entered heaven’s gate and he saw his Savior, face to face. I can only imagine the joy as he sees loved ones that went before. And that sustains me.
Thank you to all who were part of Herb’s life.
Valorie Davis; Herb & Alfie, Dustin, Hayden, ShaeLynn, Sierra and Flower Davis; John & Helen Davis, and the rest of the family that called Herb dad, brother, uncle, son, cousin, papa, friend
