Groundhog Day was February
2. According to the news, the
Pennsylvania groundhog peered
out of his hole and didn't see his
shadow. This is supposed to mean
we'll have an early spring.
However, Union has its own
weather belt and its own
groundhog. After three days of
snow showers, the Union

National Forest visitors may
find some of their favorite
campgrounds closed this summer
in Oregon and Washington.
Theodore A. Schlapfer,
regional forester, U.S. Forest
Service, said, "The budget has
remained relatively constant while
costs of operating and
maintaining campgrounds have
risen rapidly as a result of
inflation and higher standards of
sanitation."
The Forest Service is
attempting to minimize the
impact through management
measures designed to cut costs,
Schlapfer said. For example,
garbage cans are removed from
some campgrounds and campers
are requested to pack their
garbage out for disposal at home.
Some campground units are
closed during slack periods and
opened during heavy use periods.
Schlapfer said that even with
such management actions, it has
become impossible to maintain
acceptable standards of public
safety and protection of resource
values in all of the more than
1200 campgrounds in the
National Forests of Oregon and
Washington. For this reason it is
expected that some campgrounds
will remain closed.

Boating classes are being
taught at the Union Fireball
Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. The
12-week course is sponsored by
the Alderbrook Yacht Club for
the Olympia Power Squadron,
member of the United States

boating education association.
George Schramm, commodore of
the Alderbrook Yacht Club, is
course instructor. Registration for
the current class is dosed but

boating courses may call

campground closures for the
season in Oregon and Washington.
"It is too early to tell how many
will be closed this year,"
Schlapfer said, "but it is expected
that the number will run
somewhat higher."
Most closures involve small
campgrounds (one to five units)
which are located in remote areas
of the National Forests or are
lightly used. In both cases, costs
run high in relation to use.
In a few cases, larger
campgrounds damaged by floods
or wind may remain closed due to
lack of funds to reconstruct the
campground at this time.
Late this spring as the
camping season approaches,
campers should be able to get
S'PeC'i:flc in'fOrmation onany
closures by contacting local
Forest Service offices.

the district for personal contact,
Reid Mitchell; making up a fact
sheet to be distributed
throughout the district, Grant

Shoreline cleanup
planned for April 12
Over 10,000 citizen
volunteers are expected to
participate in a large-scale ocean
shoreline clean-up April 12.
Operation Shore Patrol,
sponsored by the Washington
State Department of Ecology and
coordinated by the department
and the statewide Jaycees, will
attempt to clear the shoreline of
litter from the Columbia to north
of Bellingham.
The most intensive litter
pick-up campaign ever conducted
in the state, the patrol is part of
the Department of Ecology's role
as defined in the Model Litter
Control Act now in effect in
Washington.
Between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
i
that day, patrol coordinators will
be posted at the beach and river
shoreline access roads to
distribute large litter pick-up bags
to volunteers. The shorelines will
be sectioned off so volunteers can
be assigned specific clean-up
areas.
Upon checking in, each
volunteer will be given a lapel pin
designating him as a shore patrol
"volunteer," and subsequently, a
thank you letter from the
Department of Ecology including
a brief summary of the Model
Litter Control Act.

The committee to draft a fact
sheet scheduled a meeting for 11
a.m. Wednesday of this week at
the school.
The group pointed out to
some folks attending the meetings
for the first time that no new
programs are being asked for in
connection with this levy. It is
strictly for maintaining what the
district has or, in other words, an
operation and maintenance levy.
Someone asked about the budget
which has increased so much the
past few years. It was explained
that if the tax money resulted
from higher property evaluations
and, if it had not been used,
Pioneer would have lost it. So a
few new programs were bought
and paid for with the extra
money, which has brought up the
educational level of the school.
There was a general meeting
of all P.T.O. members and
interested community members at
the school Wednesday of this
week. The purpose
