Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, April 8, 2009 Campsite reservation changes due Future reservation cus- tomers might be required to pay all booking and rental fees at the time they reserve state park campsites and picnic ar- eas, according to the Oregon Parks & Recreation Dept. (OPRD). Reservations Northwest, OPRD’s central reservations service, now charges a $6 res- ervation fee, per booking, plus a first night’s deposit on a campsite. A customer reserv- ing a $22 full hook-up site for three nights pays $28. Under the new policy, the same customer would pay $72 in advance, the $6 reservation fee plus $66 for the three nights. The public will have a chance to comment on the proposed full payment change during administrative rule- making hearings on Thursday, April 16 at Champoeg State Heritage Area; Tuesday, April 21 in Newport; and Thursday, April 23 in Bend. People also can respond, starting immediately, through OPRD’s Website or by e-mail to res.nw@state.or.us, or by writing to OPRD at 725 Sum- mer St. N.E., Suite C, Salem OR 97301, Attn: Richard Walkoski. The department will accept comments until Friday, April 24. The proposed rule change is online along with answers to frequently asked questions at www.o regon.gov/OPRD/ PARKS (see “Frequently asked questions” under “Let’s Go Camping.”) OPRD is proposing the full fee payment to counteract an overbooking problem. “Some people reserve sites for the maximum 14 days that you’re allowed to rent the same site,” said Richard Walkoski, OPRD Recreation Programs manager. “When their arrival date at the park gets closer, they cancel all but the final dates of the 14-day period that they intended to camp.” The overbooking tactic can give its practitioners a 12- day head start over customers who try, nine months in ad- vance, to reserve a site for only the dates they intend to use it. An Oregon state park campsite cannot be reserved more than nine months before an arrival date. Walkoski says that only 7 percent of the customers who reserve a site for 14 days stay the entire time. As a result, many campsites are unavail- able to reserve until as little as two days before the reserva- tion holder’s false arrival date. “That’s unfair to people who use the reservations sys- tems as it is intended to be used, and it’s costly to us,” said Walkoski. “Some of those sites go unoccupied, costing parks potential revenue.” Requiring full payment up front could dramatically re- duce the practice, said Walkoski. “It could present a cash flow hardship for some people,” he said, “but almost half our customers already are making full payments when they reserve their sites so that they can take advantage of our express check-in option.” Campers who arrive at a park having paid in advance for every night of their stay can bypass its registration booth and head directly to their reserved sites. The overbooking problem is not exclusive to Oregon. “It’s a nationwide issue for state park systems that of- fer reservation services,” said Walkoski. “Most of those states have adopted full- payment policies to try to re- solve the problem.” LEGAL NOTICE TRUSTEE’S NOTICE OF SALE Loan No.: 0033370347 T.S.

(Photos by Zina Booth) Drug deaths in Oregon show increase Statistics for 2008 show a huge jump in methampheta- mine-related deaths, an increase in heroin-related deaths, and a slight drop in cocaine-related deaths. Information on drug- related death statistics for 2008 reflect a continuing rise since 1999, said Dr. Karen Gunson, Oregon State medical examiner. “Methamphetamine-related deaths skyrocketed last year, more than doubling what was seen seven years ago, and it is the obvious reason why there was such a large overall in- crease” said Gunson. “Beyond what was noted in last year’s statistics, a review of other drug deaths is now revealing pre- scription drug overdoes out- numbered illicit drug deaths in some cases.” Statistics released by her indicate that 229 people died in Oregon last year from the use of heroin, cocaine, methampheta- mine, or a combination of those drugs. Following a significant drop during 2001, last year’s number was an 8 percent in- crease from 2007 when there were 212 drug-related deaths. Prescription drug over- doses from methadone use was noted in 131 deaths, and another 39 people died from oxycodone overdose. “Most of the methadone overdoses occurred in chronic pain patients or those people who obtained the drug illegally, rather than those involved in addiction treatment programs,” said Gunson. A closer look at the 229 illicit drug-related deaths and the frequency of use in the total number of these deaths re- flected: *Methamphetamine use was related to 106 deaths; clearly reaching the highest level reflected in available sta- tistics since 1996 and a 45 per- cent jump over the 73 deaths reported in 2007. *Heroin use was related to 119 deaths, a slight increase from 118 deaths in 2007, but still the highest number since 2000 in this category. *Cocaine use was related to 51 deaths, a slight drop from 62 deaths during 2007 and the second lowest in this category since 2000. *Combination of drug use was related to 46 deaths, up from 40 deaths in 2007 and the third highest in this category since 1996. Some counties that showed decreases in total drug-related deaths in comparison to 2007 statistics: *Jackson County drug- related deaths decreased from 13 (2007) to seven (2008). *Clackamas County drug- related deaths decreased from 16 (2007) to nine (2008). *Lane County drug-related deaths declined from 26 (2007) to 21 (2008). *Multnomah County drug- related deaths dropped slightly from 111 (2007) to 106 (2008). It should be noted that drops were seen in heroin and cocaine categories, but obvious increases in methamphetamine and combination use categories. Some counties that showed increases in total drug-related deaths in comparison to 2007 statistics: *Josephine County drug- related deaths increased from four (2007) to seven (2008). (Two were from heroin, five from meth). *Deschutes County drug- related deaths increased from 2 (2007) to six (2008). *Marion County drug- related deaths rose from 15 (2007) to 22 (2008). *Washington County sta- tistics were about the same with 12 reported deaths in 2008 fol- lowing 11 reported in 2007. Information for all counties that had at least one drug-related death is available in the 2008 report.
