THE “JOHNNY LAW ” REPORT
(November, 2002)
It’s difficult to imagine that I
don’t have much to talk about, but
this is one of those times. Aside
from police work, by the time you
see this report, my younger
daughter will have gotten married in
Maui. Of course, I must attend. So,
I’m here today and gone to Maui.
It’s a tough life, but somebody has
to go there. I just hope that if and
when my older daughter ever
decides to get married that she
picks a more convenient location.
Now, let’s deal with police
work. Parents are asked to ensure
that their children wear helmets
when riding bicycles. Everyone is
asked to maintain better control
over their dogs. Too many of them
are running unleashed around town
both day and night. Dog licenses
may be purchased at Town Hall.
Returning to fun stuff, by the
time you read this report the World
Series will be over. Hurray for both
the Angels and the Giants. Nothing
against them, but it’s nice to see an
American League team in it besides
the Yankees, especially a team thai
has never been there before.

WE HAD A HANDFUL OF KIDS WHO WERE NOT ON
THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR. WE HAD KIDS PUSHING,
HITTING, KICKING AND YELLING OBSCENITIES AT
USI THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIORII WE TRY
TO ESCORT THEM OUT THE DOOR AND TELL THEM
THEY ARE NOT WELCOME BACK NEXT YEAR.
ALSO, WE HAD ALL OF OUR GLOW IN THE DARK

WE WOULD APPRECIATE THEM BEING RETURNED.
WE DO NOT PUT OUR STUFF OUT SO SOMEONE

’ PROBLEMS THAT l*VE JUST MENTIONED, NEXT
YEAR WILL BE OUR LAST YEARII THE MEMBERS

TROUBLE MAKERS' CAN RUIN IT FOR
EVERYONE. WE ARE NOT THERE FOR SOMEONE TO
TAKE OUT THEIR AGGRESSIONS ON. WE TRULY
HOPE NEXT YEAR WILL BE BETTER.

Fire season is still in effect, and no open burning
Is allowed. The industrial fire precaution level
(IFPL) dropped to a one for the Cascade side of,
the forest, which allows industrial chain saw use,
with an arrester on the saw and fire tools handy.
Personal use restrictions have been lifted, and
campfires are allowed. Use common sense; have
fire tools with you, clear the area around your
campfire of leaves, duff and debris, keep the flame
lengths small, and NEVER leave a fire unattended.
When departing the campsite at any time, make
sure that the fire Is dead out
Please be extra careful with fire now, as the lower
temperatures can give the illusion of wetter fire
conditions. Fire conditions are still high. We have
had one runaway campfire on the zone almost
every day since hunting season began.
Fire conditions and restrictions are changing
every day. Please call the Butte Falls Ranger
District at 541-865*2700, or the Prospect Ranger
District at 541-560-3400 to get the latest
developments.

Due to demonstrations aimed at the Peak Timber
Sale on the Prospect Ranger District, some road
closures have been put In to effect, and could
remain for approximately two or three months.
Please check with the ranger station before
planning any trips to the Prospect Ranger District.
We want to apologize, and also say thank you to
all of the hunters and recreationists who were put
out buy either smoke or road and area closures
this season. It just was a weird year, and we did
the best we could. We know it is irritating to wait
all year for camping or hunting only to find that
restrictions ruin everything. Your understanding
and patience through all of this was much
appreciated.
-Butte Falls Cafe-
Wishes you and your family a
Rem em ber that you
can purchase your dog
tags from the Butte
Falls City Hall. M ost of
the money stays here
that way!
“Happy Thanksgiving”
