Ron Wyden has announced Senate ap- proval of his amendment to keep Oregon’s dis- tressed and rural communi- ties from losing economic development opportunities because of burdensome financial requirements. They recently were imposed, he said, by the U.S. Economic Develop- me nt Ad minist ratio n (EDA). Earlier this year, EDA told communities that be- ginning immediately, they would need to raise $22 in private funds for every $1 they requested in govern- ment funds -- a significant increase in the “private sector leveraging goal” used to determine which projects are funded. Citizens gather for the inaugural meeting of a group working to avoid wildfire loss. Illinois Valley Fire Safe Council holds initial meet; next gathering set Nov. 15 By DALE & ELAINE SANDBERG The second organiza- tional meeting to form an Illinois Valley Fire Safe Council, a citizen-run group to provide a plan to prevent loss due to wild- fire, will be held Nov. 15. The first such gather- ing was held Monday night, Oct. 4 in Cave Junc- tion City Hall. Approxi- mately 23 people attended. The meeting was a continuation of the “town hall” meetings held throughout the summer in various Illinois Valley communities. Among the purposes: *To continue the work of the I.V. Fire Plan and update and improve it. *To help and promote any valley plans and en- courage formation of other such plans. *To assist with guide- lines for fire prevention. Discussion also in- cluded how “community groupings” would be formed and what their functions could be. There also was mention of which local agencies would be kept informed as to fire council plans. It was decided that during meetings the coun- cil would strive for con- sensus, but that a majority vote of representatives Danger low from Helens It’s anticipated that volcanic ash from several volcanic eruptions of Mt. St. Helens during the last few weeks in Washington state pose a low health risk, according to the Ore- gon Dept. of Human Ser- vices (DHS) and the Ore- gon Health and Sciences University. Recent earthquakes on Mt. St. Helens, just north of Oregon, have raised public concerns about pos- sible health effects from exposure to volcanic ash that might blow in. Dr. Grant Higginson, public health officer in DHS, advises people to take these precautions: *The health risk is low for people who are away from the mountain. Expo- sure to volcanic ash is pri- marily linked to eye and breathing irritation. *People with chronic respiratory diseases are likely to be more at risk from exposure to the ash and dust. They should take extra precautions. *In the event of an eruption and ash reaching Oregon, wearing a paper dust mask or using a cloth over your mouth when out- doors, and avoiding dust where possible, will pro- vide adequate protection for most people. Higginson said that research following the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens showed that there is no evidence of long- term health effects from this kind of exposure to volcanic ash and dust. For more information regarding specific steps and precautions, there is a Volcanic Ash Fact Sheet available online at the DHS Website, www.dhs.state.or.us/ publichealth/eoe/ alerts.cfm.
