JBLM eek input on river use
The Bureau of Land Man
agement wants public opin- '
ions concerning methods to
avoid overcrowding the nat
ion's popular recreation rivers
which run through lands it
manages.
Nationwide rules will be
proposed based on public
comments received through
February 8 and from experi
ence already gained in man
aging the use of such rivers as
the Rogue, Deschutes, John
Day and Owyhee in Oregon.
Both commercial and priv
ate use of the Rogue are
managed under cooperative
agreement with three other
Federal and state agencies.
On the Deschutes, John Day,
and Owyhee rivers, commerc
ial permits are required, but
with no quotas set and no
permits required for private
use.
BLM National Director
Frank Gregg said, "The
tremendous interest in some
river areas makes them so
overcrowded that no one can
enjoy them. We hope that
through better management,
the recreation experience will
be enjoyable and worthwhile."
BLM is seeking opinions on
options for managing use,
such as advance reservations,
lottery, first-come-first-served,
price, merit, or a
combination of these and
others. Where there is com
petition between commercial
and non-commercial users,
the agency seeks to develop a
fair and equitable method to
allocate the use.
Another objective is to
consider complaints that some
commercial boating operators
illegally have sold recreation
permits issued by BLM
Written comments should be
addressed to: Bureau of Land
Management (WO 37(1). Inter
ior Building, 18th & C Sts. NW.

National recognition was gain
ed last year, said Dave Miller,
department head and vocal
music instructor, when local
radio station KUMA ran a spot
about the carol-a-gram pro
gram. The item was picked up by
the Associated Press and run
nationwide, spotlighting the
BMCC music department.
Carol-a-grams can be deliver
ed anywhere locally, and can
be scheduled by calling Miller
at 276-1260, ext. 305. Minimum
cost is $5 per gram.
Tamarack and pine fire
wood, cut by music students,
is being sold for $40 a cord,
and can be ordered by calling
276-8892. Delivery will take
about three weeks.
A recycling program is
conducted on the second
Tuesday of each month in the
Armory parking lot, and
music students are also carol
ing for downtown merchants
on Saturday afternoons.
Miller said that Christmas
trees will also be sold as
Christmas approaches. De
tails will be posted.
Other planned projects in
clude operating the conces
sions at home basketball
games, working for the Com
munity Concerts program in
Pendleton, and staging car
washes, a raquetball tourna
ment and discos at area high
schools.
The Hawaii festival, to be
held Apr. 17-24, is part of the
continuing International
Music Festivals put on by
Performing Arts Abroad, Inc.
. The program's purpose, said
Weddle, is to promote and
award excellance in perform
ing groups.
During last year's festival,
held in Garden Grove, Calif.,
the BMCC swing choir was
awarded a silver medal and
the chorale a bronze medal, a
feat topped by no other
schools. Groups are judged
against international stan
dards of excellance rather
than against each other.
Weddle said that only one
other silver medal was award
ed throughout the festival.
The official invitation for
the Hawaii Festival of Music,
sent by Auditions Chairman
Wilfred Bain, retired Dean of
the School of Music, Indiana
University, was "extended on
the basis of the musical
accomplishments achieved in
your audition fanp "
Firewood use is
up in National
Forests
Pacific Northwest residents
collected a record amount of
free firewood from National
Forests during fiscal year
1978.
Permits for the use of
630,108 cords of firewood were
issued on the 19 National
Forests in Oregon and Wash
ington in 1978, compared to
489,200 cords the previous
year. Actual volume removed,
however, is estimated to be
only about two-thirds of the
total listed in the permits.
Permits to Oregon residents
totaled 499,538 cords, while in
Washington the figure was
only 130,480 cords. Estimated
value of the 1978 harvest was
$513,026.
Forest Service Regional
Forester R.E. (Dick) Worth
ington said the demand for
firewood has grown rapidly in
recent years, and will prob
ably continue to expand in the
foreseeable future.
The Regional Forester said
use of firewood "serves sever
al purposes, including the use
of material that otherwise
would have to be left to rot or
burned on the ground. Its use
also helps defray the rising
cost of heat from electricity
and fossil fuels as well as to
reduce consumption of those
fuels."
