However, Union has its own weather belt and its own groundhog. After three days of snow showers, the Union Some campg are to 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. Last year there were 55 full ml groundhog made his appearance on the appropriate day and spied his profile on the snow. He announced we're in for six more weeks of winter.

Mr. and Mrs. Dick Levin from Kamloops, B.C. are spending two weeks at the Canal home of Dick's parents, Oscar and Ann Levin. 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 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 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.
