That order has been suspended while a challenge by conservation groups is heard in court. OR-7 is a descendant of wolves introduced into the Northern Rockies in the 1990s, and represents the westernmost expansion of a regional population that now tops 1,650. His travels took him down the Cascade Range and across the border into California in December, making him the first wolf in California in more than 80 years, according to the department. Along the way he was photographed in black and white by an automated trail- side camera in Oregon. He has since gone back to Ore- gon and returned to California, making his first visit to Modoc County. While his story has appeared in newspapers and websites around the world, OR-7 has yet to find a mate or even settle down since following his natural inclina- tion to leave his home and head out on his own.

Kovacs said state biologists have been keeping close tabs on OR-7, with the help of his GPS collar, which is visible in one of the photos taken by Shinn. Biologists have visited areas the wolf frequented after he left and found a track in the dirt in Northern California's Shasta County.

But as of yet, there are no reports he has killed any livestock. keep them up to date on the general whereabouts of the wolf, which is protected as a federally endangered species in Western Oregon and California.

Steve Chamblin: Funding may be limited, wise, I have lived here all my life, not quite as long as you but almost. We all remember in the past when opportuni- ties came about and they were shot down at some level of county government. If we should ever see eco- nomic growth again, how do you feel about businesses coming to the county and do we have an educated work force to fill any openings? Steve Chamblin: That's a very good ques- tion, Randy.

Steve Chamblin: I believe a consortium, such as the Rural Counties Consortium in California, is another way to reach and communicate with state offi- cials.
