Preliminary information from Oregon State Police indicates that Thanksgiving holiday period fatalities were down this year by half, as four people reportedly died in four separate traffic crashes on Oregon highways. Last year, eight people died in seven separate crashes. According to Oregon Dept. of Transportation Crash Analysis and Reporting Unit, Oregon police agencies re- ported four fatalities from 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 25. The four crashes involved single vehicles, three of which left highways and struck a tree or pole. On Thursday, Nov. 22, Marion County Sheriff’s Of- fice investigated a single- vehicle traffic crash in the Illinois River Corridor use fees eyed by forest service A new recreation fee for the Illinois River Corridor is proposed by the U.S. Forest Service’s Rogue River Siski- you National Forest. Forest recreation manag- ers said that they are inter- ested in hearing the public’s comments on a proposal for a new recreation fee for day- use on the Illinois River and for overnight stays at Store Gulch Campground out Illi- nois River Road from Selma. Day-use fees would be $5 per day per vehicle with season passes $30 per season. Campground overnight fees would be $10 per night per vehicle. This fee is being pro- posed due to a visitor desire for a quality experience, in- creased public use, to better protect the environment through new facilities, and the need for law enforcement, according to Jerry Sirski, rec- reation manager. “We recognize how im- portant these sites are to our local communities and those who use the sites,” said Sir- ski. “These fees will help us maintain the sites to the level and quality people have come to expect.” Added Joel King, district ranger, “We have made im- provements at these sites based on visitor desires and feedback. These fees will help ensure that we can main- tain these improvements as expected by those who use the sites.” The majority of funds collected at recreation fee sites, 80 to 95 percent, remain in the forest to operate, main- tain and improve facilities and programs at the sites. The new fee proposal will be posted in the Federal Register. Additionally, feed- back has been solicited from visitors on the river, articles have been in newspapers, and interviews have been on local television news. All new fee proposals will be presented before a citizens advisory committee, the Pacific Northwest Recrea- tion Resource Advisory Com- mittee (RAC). The committee makes recommendations on creating new or changing existing recreation fees man- aged by the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Man- agement in Oregon and Washington. Committee members represent a broad array of recreation interest groups and help ensure that the Forest Service is proposing reason- able and publicly acceptable fee changes, King said. Resource Advisory Com- mittee members also help to make certain that the Forest Service addresses public is- sues and concerns about rec- reation fees. The public is welcome to attend and com- ment at all advisory commit- tee meetings. Advice and recommen- dations from the Pacific Northwest Recreation Re- source Advisory Committee are combined with other pub- lic notification and communi- cation efforts to help the agencies make sound deci- sions regarding recreation fees, noted King. During 2004, Congress passed the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act. It allows the Forest Service to keep 95 percent of fees col- lected at certain recreation sites and use these funds lo- cally to operate and maintain and improve these sites. For more information, questions or comments about any of these new fee propos- als, contact Sirski at 26568 Redwood Hwy., Cave Junc- tion; or phone (541) 899- 3815. King can be contacted at 592-4001. Silverton area that resulted in the death of the driver when his vehicle struck a tree. Also Nov. 22, Washing- ton County Sheriff’s Office investigated a single-vehicle fatal traffic crash involving a motorcycle on S.W. Spring- ville Road. On Saturday, Nov. 24, Portland Police Bureau inves- tigated a single-vehicle crash near Gurtz Road that resulted in the death of a passenger and injuries to two other oc- cupants when their vehicle crashed into a utility pole. On Nov. 25, Marion County Sheriff’s Office in- vestigated a single-vehicle accident on Culver Drive S.E. in the Salem area that resulted in the death of the driver. The vehicle reportedly left the roadway and went down an embankment where it struck several trees. OSP troopers did not investigate any fatal crashes on state freeways or secon- dary state highways. OSP troopers arrested 61 DUII drivers, down slightly from last year's 68 reported DUII arrests. The OSP Klamath Falls Area Com- mand office, which partici- pated in a Klamath County interagency DUII enhanced enforcement effort during the weekend, far exceeded any other OSP office by reporting 19 DUII arrests. Salem, Bend, and Grants Pass OSP offices reported five DUII arrests each. OSP troopers also issued nearly 1,300 speed-related citations; responded to nearly 200 traffic crashes; and as- sisted more than 400 disabled motorists.

We are taught to worry about osteo- porosis and dementia. “Worry (overthinking) leads to 1,000 diseases.” Western medicine would agree, and we are bombarded with advertisements regarding elements of “healthy living.” Take this pill.

Health is a cumulative effort, and the choices we make today are like a bank account. Do we take care, or squander our reserves? We all have positive hab- its to build on.

Tips To Stay Active In Cool Weather *Dress warmly and “cozy.” Wear a hood and at least a stadium-length coat to prevent the cold from pene- trating joints and organs. *Make it easy. Walk slowly; take your coffee and the dog. Have a heart-to-heart talk with a friend. *Waterproof, or take your “window” when it’s dry, for outdoor activities. *Exercise near home. Find new places. *Drive above the clouds for a walk if the weather seems dreary, or visit the coast. *Avoid alcohol and hy- pothermia. *Stay inspired.
