T h e cans o f fo o d — o f all types, from canned fruits and vegetables, to canned milk, tuna fish, etc.— arrived at the Senior Program last Friday. The 2013 donation lasted about a year. With the contrib u tio n doubled this time, there is now a good supply o f canned fo o d at the Senior Program. — Dave McMechan Oregon experiencing dry conditions (AP) — Snowpack levels across much o f O regon are below normal levels. National Weather Service meteo rologist Colby N euman in Portland said the entire West Coast is dry. The U.S. D rought Monitor, re leased in late December, showed ab normally dry to drought conditions across O regon and abnormally dry conditions across much o f Wash ington. D rought conditions were shown in other Western states, too. M ost O regon counties are see ing snowpack levels o f less than 50 p e rc e n t o f average. O re g o n ’s H oodoo Ski Area needs 36 inches o f snow to open for the season but The Warm Springs Vic tims of Crime Services Elder Abuse Prevention program is offering the fo llo w in g safety m es sage. During extreme cold w eather, please keep your,faucets slowly drip ping. This can keep the pipes from freezing. Also, keep flammable materials away from your space heaters and stove or fireplace.

In W ash in g to n , T h e S u m m it at Snoqualmie Pass was closed for ski ing and snowboarding, almost three weeks later than average. W arm te m p e ra tu re s have brought rain, melting what snow has accumulated, and making it “very difficult to sustain the snow pack that we’ve had,” spokesman Guy Lawrence said. “We’ve built a little tiny bit o f snow pack, then we lose a little bit, we gain a litde bit back.” N eum an said there is time to re bound from the abnormally dry con ditions in the next few months. But if that doesn’t happen, he said that could create concerns for water sup plies, plants and an early fire sea son. H e noted four recent years with low snowpack— 1981, 1990, 1996 and 2005. In 1981 and 2005, dry conditions persisted through the winter, while heavy snowfall fell in the second half the winter seasons in 1990 and 1996. National Weather Service meteo rologist Clinton Rockey o f Portland said the second half o f winter and spring are tough to predict. How ever, he said based on past weather patterns and ocean cycles, he can estimate the summer will be warmer than usual. • New Intake Process: We. are now utilizing an Open Access Clinic to get community members the help they need as soon as possible.
