Stricter fire rules in effect now The Parks Division recently announced that stricter fire rules will be in effect for the Deschutes River Scenic Waterway Recreation beginning Thursday. June 30. The fire restrictions for the lower 100 miles of the river are in response to a Bureau of Land Management declaration of extreme fire danger in the area. The rules prohibit fires of all kinds, including charcoal briquets, except in enclosed structures. Smok ing is banned, except in enclosed buildings, enclosed motor vehicles or in boats on the river. Fireworks are also prohibited. Commercially manufactured camp stoves and lanterns may be used if fueled by propane or white gas. The restrictions are necessary because steep terrain, winds and dry grass make the river canyon very susceptible to fires that are hard to control, said John Lilly. , Parks Divisiortassistant administra tor. The restrictions remain in effect until October I. State police cadets and Parks. Fish and Wildlife, BLM and county sheriff employees provide informa tion to river users and enforce river rules, Lilly said. During high-use weekends, a state police airplane is used to spot illegal campfires, he added. Last year, December River Scenic Waterway use increased by ten percent to 1 29,500 boater days (one person boating one day), Lilly said. The Deschutes River Manage ment Committee (a nine-member citizen committee) was created by the 1987 legislature. The commit tee advised local, state and federal agencies involved in recreation ma nagement of the lower section of the river. Lilly said the group will develop a recreation management plan dur ing the next two years.

For the first time in decades, there will be no Fourth of July fireworks display in Warm Springs. According to Fire and Safety Chief Dean Seyler the recent gas leak near the Community Center makes it an unsuit able place at which to set off fireworks. An alternative site at the rodeo grounds was suggested, but because of winds that could carry live sparks to inaccessible areas, the fire danger is too great. There fore, there will be no aerial display. It has also been decided that no one will be allowed on the Community Center grounds to set off personal fireworks such as sparklers and other small explo sives. "All fireworks are banned from the Center area," said Recreation director Elton Greeley. People may choose to go to the rodeo grounds to set off their fireworks. Just because the fireworks display has been cancelled doesn't mean that the regular Fourth of July activities have come under the axe as well. A parade has been scheduled and the other activities that usually occur on this special holiday will occur as tey have m tHe past . it M r'-i'SniJ'ji"' ;"-
