Sumpter City Council CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Armbruster stated his intent to post a statement from FAFA regarding de- nial for request of informa- tion, what’s going on, and “how it affects you.” He said the USFS has denied absolutely people from getting information about what they have done, are doing, and are planning to do. He stated Montana, Utah, Idaho, California, and western Oregon have all had negative repercussions. “If we’re not out there rais- ing hell, this will just go through,” he said. Armbruster stated it’s getting to the point it ap- pears there will be a legal battle. Meetings are being held in fi ve locations in June and July to educate folks on all that’s going on and to try and communicate what the Forest Service is doing. They are planning to train people on how to write letters of opposition. Armbruster stated he is not against local USFS employees. “It’s the bureaucratic and politics from some folks back east that can’t spell tree.” He shared his hope that if people persevere, they can win. Clarke stated, “They are trying to wear us down.” There are fewer and fewer participants in op- position. Thompson shared that she was told the For- est Service was trying to restrict or stop the annual archery club shoot at An- thony Lakes this year. Young stated that the USFS resiliency program will mean a lot more forest burning and controlled fi res to knock down duff underneath. He said he got himself in some trouble by suggesting they start near cities and burn away to create fi re breaks and saying every trail they leave open cre- ates another fi re break. Public input Groundskeeper Dick Brown reported checking in with the pest control representative that after- noon. He said it rained a day or two after she put the poison out for the ground squirrels at the Grounds. Rain neutralizes the prod- uct, and it’s hard to tell what kind of kill they got. Brown will apply the poison again in a few days after the threat of rain passes. The poison is put down into the holes and dirt kicked over it. There is none on the surface, but domestic animals should be kept away. Brown said he will have to fi ll most of the bigger holes by hand as the har- row is not going to do it. Thompson said the Bag Ladies would like to do something in memory of Ona Smith. They would like to put in a new heating system at the Schoolhouse. Thompson said Smith “always wanted to be warm” and she mentioned doing this before she passed. They will need the City to call someone who does heating to come out and see if the duct system is suffi cient to put in a new furnace. Clarke said he will talk to City Recorder Julie McKinney to fi nd out who they use. Young stated that the Snowmobile Club every year offers $400 for the use of the Schoolhouse or offers a project to benefi t the City. Last year they provided a covering over the School- house entrance, which he thought was pretty good timing considering all the snow. This year, they would like to donate $750 for materials for “preserva- tion, reconstruction, and tightening up” of the build- ing called the Birdhouse or Hub at the Grounds. Sumpter Valley Commu- nity Volunteers voted to match up to $750. Labor would be volun- teer. Young suggested that the building may be useful if local restaurants can’t handle the anticipated crowds during the eclipse. He could fi re up the grill and provide hot dogs or something to give people another in-town option. Council agreed to give project the go-ahead. Subscribe today!
