The Willamette National Forest will hold meetings next week in Sweet Home and Gates, seeking comments on long-term road management strategies
The meetings are scheduled for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23, at the Sweet Home Ranger District, 3225 Highway 20, Sweet Home; and 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 24, at the Gates Fire House, 140 E. Sorbin St., Gates
The Willamette National Forest is working on a road investment strategy to help guide future road management decisions, addressing the twin challenges of an aging road system and a limited maintenance budget.
In addition, Forest Service roads are important for almost every activity on National Forests: managing fire, hiking and fishing, timber harvest, hunting, ecological restoration, firewood, and more.
Both meetings will start with a presentation about roads management on the Willamette National Forest and a chance for questions and answers. After the presentation, there will be maps of the on tables, and visitors will be encouraged to draw on the maps to show areas or roads that are important to them.
An earlier meeting in Detroit about road management strategies spurred a lively discussed

Forest Service seeks comments on long-term road management strategies
With the late morning sun back-lighting them, the stained glass windows in the sanctuary at First Presbyterian Church look as resplendent as they did when master glassmakers David and John Povey installed them in 1910.
They used warm colors because of the gray days we so often have here, said Lynne Neville, who is a member of the churchs stained glass restoration project.
Started with fundraising in 2011, the project has restored two of the main windows, which were buckling over time due to softening of the leading and came (a kind of putty) that holds the stained glass pieces together.
But a closer look shows that the newly restored windows are cleaner, straighter and let in more light.
The middle panel of one window, the Good Shepherd, is completed, but the side panels feature white boards to hold the place of the glass panels now under renovation by a Mill City stained glass artist.
Still awaiting funding for full restoration is a piece called Jesus Knocking at the Door.
That title inspired the idea for a tour of historic homes and sites to benefit the glass restoration effort, Neville said.
Participants not only will get an inside look at some of Corvallis most significant historic homes, they will get a look at some innovative recent restoration projects.
For example, the 1905-06 Horner House, built by John and Isabelle Horner, whose collection formed the basis for a museum collection, has been occupied by its current owners only since November. They are in the midst of an extensive interior remodel to make the house functional for the 21st century but also preserving its historic features.
Proceeds from the house will go to the Jesus Knocking window restoration, which is set for 2015.
Restoration Hardware reported earnings recently and its revenue growth showed a significant deceleration in comparison to what investors have come to expect. Nonetheless, for investors with a long-term outlook, Restoration Hardware has a plan in place to keep growth robust, thus allowing for long-term stock gains.
Its past growth is undeniable Restoration Hardware is luxury to the core, vintage yet modern timeless designs, selling home improvement furniture and goods created by hundreds of small and medium-sized vendors who sell specifically to Restoration Hardware.
Albeit, Restoration Hardware's stock traded lower on Thursday after quarterly earnings revealed that revenue growth decelerated from prior quarters. In the second quarter, comparable sales increased just 13% year over year, which represents a significant slow-down from what investors are used to seeing, such as 20% to 30% comparable growth over the last two years. Nonetheless, when compared to other home improvement retailers, Restoration Hardware's growth is undeniable.
To explain, Restoration Hardware's most recent quarter's comparable sales growth can be seen below, compared to home improvement competitors Lumber Liquidators , Home Depot , and Lowe's Companies . In addition to the single-quarter performance, the same period for the previous two years is also included, further illustrating the degree of growth for Restoration Hardware long term.

Nearly two dozen volunteers stood in front of her Citico Avenue home Wednesday morning. several of them Bluecross Blueshield of Tennessee volunteers decked in aqua blue T-shirts. Other volunteers included Habitat staff and Bushtown residents.
All of them listened while Daniel Gamble, Habitat's neighborhood revitalization coordinator, gave marching orders.
"Our mission is to have no more poverty housing in the world," said Gamble. "We're doing it one neighborhood at a time."
Russell's home is among 16 houses and a middle school Habitat plans to fix up in the Bushtown community within the next year, said Dominique K. Brandt, Habitat's director of volunteers and events.
The plan is to complete Russell's and one other home and Orchard Knob Middle School this month. They will do weatherization, paint the exteriors of the homes, work on landscaping and repair the wheelchair ramps and porches.
Habitat is calling the project "A Brush with Kindness Revitalization Project."
The organization will host a block party at 12:30 Sept. 20 at the Orchard Knob Middle School field.
King-Russell stood with her two dogs on the porch as the group gathered and listened with pleasure to the plans to spruce up her home.

Restoration Hardware Holdings Inc. (RH), a seller of high-end home furnishings, fell 5 percent in late trading after cutting its annual revenue forecast.
Sales will be $1.85 billion to $1.87 billion in the fiscal year ending Jan. 31, the Corte Madera, California-based company said yesterday in a statement. Restoration Hardware had previously predicted as much as $1.89 billion.
The company mailed out its source books -- massive catalogs of its furniture and housewares -- seven weeks later than last year, hurting sales in the second quarter, Chief Executive Officer Gary Friedman said in the statement. Still, the company has seen business accelerate during the second half, he said.
Being in the retail business is like being at war -- you need to have a solid strategy that is constantly evolving, Friedman said on a conference call. No matter what your plan or forecast is, it is some degree of wrong and what matters is how quickly you improvise, adapt and overcome. That is what I believe we are very good at.
Restoration Hardware shares fell to $77.91 in extended trading after the results were released. The stock had climbed 22 percent to $82.05 this year through yesterdays New York close.
