Page 16 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, April 25, 2007 Dying cigs (Continued from page 11) from unintentional fires caused by cigarettes.” This is common sense legislation that will prevent property damage and save lives,” said Prozanski. He is chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee which passed HB 2163, and he led efforts during the 2005 legislative session for fire-safer cigarettes. “This bill will save lives, property and trees," added Schaufler. Under the legislation, starting Jan. 1, 2008, only fire-safer cigarettes will be legal for sale in Oregon. The fire-safer cigarette technol- ogy uses specially designed paper with “speed bumps” to act as small fire-breaks restricting the burning of tobacco. When not puffed on, the burning tobacco will reach one of these speed b u m p s a n d self-extinguish, it is stated. “The diverse interests that came together to pass this bill are a testament to its importance in protecting Oregonians,” said the gover- nor. “Fire Marshal Nancy Orr deserves recognition for her leadership in bringing all interests to the table, from the firefighters to the to- bacco industry, to deliver consensus on this legisla- tion.” Oregon now joins nine other states (California, Illi- nois, Kentucky, Massachu- setts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Utah, and Vermont) and Canada in passing a fire-safer ciga- rette law.

Jointly sponsored by Crest, the Cavity Free Zone (CFZ) program will take boys and girls ages 6 to 15 on a multiple-session explo- ration of oral health and hy- giene. Games, rap sessions, digital imaging and “exciting quizzes” are just the beginning of this new national approach to im- proving the dental health of America’s youth, the club said. In-depth journeys into the ways that daily habits such as diet affect the health of teeth are custom-tailored to each age group. Complete with visits by dental profes- sionals, the Cavity-Free Zone (CFZ) will help chil- dren discover the pride and joy one can take in a strong, healthy smile, the club said. Illinois Valley Boys & Girls Club also will partici- pate in national essay- writing contests. Winning entries can be read on the CFZ Website, cavityfreezone.org along with more games, quizzes and interactive, up-to-date information. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher called tooth decay and den- tal disease the “silent epi- demic.” In the first report of its kind, “Oral Health in America,” Satcher revealed “an alarming disparity in oral health along socioeco- nomic lines.” Low-income families are receiving little or no dental health care, tools and education when compared with the nation as a whole. Boys & Girls Clubs of America and Crest have partnered to help close this gap. The Cavity-Free Zone is an important part of this initiative. I.V Boys & Girls Club has been an integral part of the Illinois Valley commu- nity for more than 12 years, providing services to hun- dreds of young people. The club is open Mondays through Fridays from 2 to 6:30 p.m. It offers programs in the arts, health-and-life skills, sports, fitness and recreation, character- leadership development, and education-and-career devel- opment.

Deputies and Rural/ Metro Fire Dept. responded to a call from a trucker with Werner Trucking. He took the road to reach Brookings because his rig was too large for Hwy. 199. The rig became stuck, and while the driver tried to pull out, a spinning tire caused a fire that burned the empty trailer and the rear of the tractor. Initiation of Scoping Disposal of Forest Service Administrative Sites “L” Street Compound, Grants Pass and South Powers Campground The Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest is initiating the “scoping” process under the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implementing regulations for disposal of Forest Service Administrative Sites at the “L” Street Compound, Grants Pass, Oregon, and South Powers Compound in Powers, Oregon, for Fiscal Year 2007. Scoping is the means by which an agency identifies, at an early stage, the significant environmental issues deserving of study regarding a Proposed Action, and de-emphasizing insignificant issues, narrowing the scope of the analysis accordingly. This proposal is made in conjunction with the Forest Service Facility Realignment and Enhancement Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-54). This proposal is not associated with or proposed under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self Determination Act of 2000, or the Fiscal Year 2007 Presi- dent’s Budget. P.L. 109-54 directs the Forest Service to follow a public notification process that is open to all. The Forest’s goal is to match its buildings and facilities to its current and projected work- force and budget. To accomplish this, the agency has a Facilities Master Plan in place that identifies certain administrative buildings and facilities that are no longer needed. The Act requires the agency to obtain fair market value when it sells identified administrative sites. The proposal for Fiscal Year 2007 includes one environmental analysis process for the disposal of two sites including the “L” Street Compound, including the entire parcel of National Forest land on the north side of “L” Street, bounded by Judson Street on the east, “J” Street on the north, and a lot line boundary with private property on the west (3.3 total acres) in Grants Pass, Oregon. The legal description is the S 1/2 of Section 18, T. 36 S., R. 5 W., W.M., Josephine County. The street address is 1012 SW “L” Street. The South Powers Compound includes approximately 1.6 acres of National Forest land on the east side of Coos County Road 219, on the south edge of town of Powers, Oregon. The legal description is SE 1/4 of Section 13, T. 31 S., R. 12 W., W.M. Coos County. It is bordered on the south side by a private road, formerly the old railroad right-of-way. The forthcoming decision to sell these properties will likely be accomplished with a Categorical Exclusion as described in (FSH 1909.15;31.1(b)(7) “Sale or exchange of land or interest in land and resources where resulting land uses remain essen- tially the same.” The Forest is looking for public comment on the issues associated with this pro- posed Federal action. Our scoping process will continue until June 15, 2007. We anticipate release of Decision Memo document in the fall of 2007. Currently, the agency is evaluating the appropriate marketing plans for each site. Each building / site will be analyzed for historic and archeological sig- nificance and the potential for necessary resource mitigation measures. It is anticipated that the prop- erties will be sold under competitive bidding procedures. The method of sale will be determined at a later date. This notice is not to solicit interest in bidding for or acquiring these properties. For more information or to provide scoping comments, please contact Ken Grigsby, Forest Planner, at the Forest Supervisor’s office, 333 W. 8th Street, P.O.
