Asks comments on fire
management
People have until Aug. 4 to
comment on a proposed policy
change to permit trained spe
cialists to ignite and manage
prescribed fires in national
forest wilderness areas states
a news release from the Unit
ed States Department of Agri
culture. R. Max Peterson, chief of
the U.S. Department of Agri
culture's Forest Service, said
today the policy change would
reduce the risk of wilderness
wildfires and permit fire to
return to its natural ecological
role in these areas.
"Our earlier policy of
promptly suppressing all fires
resulted In the unnatural ac
cumulation of dead brush and
trees in some wilderness
areas," Peterson said. "This
change would permit us to use
fires to reduce unnatural fuel
accumulations and allow fire
once again to play its natural
role In the ecology of wilder
ness ecosystems."
Under the change, all plan
ned fires used In wilderness
would have to be approved by
the appropriate regional for
ester. A team of resource
experts - botanists, wildlife
biologists, fire and recreation
.managers. would carefully
study each situation and make
a recomendation on the need
for planned fire. The public
also would be included in each
decision.
Peterson said authority for
the use of prescribed fire in
wilderness Is provided by the
1964 Wilderness Act which
says "such measures may be
taken as may be necessary in
the control of fire...subjecty to
such conditions as the secre
tary (of agriculture) deems
desirable."
The Forest Service adminis
ters 25.5 million acres of the
National Wilderness Preserv
ation System, or about 85
percent of the wilderness out
side of Alaska.
Comments should be mailed

New drinking & driving law
effective July 1
Starting July 1, anyone
caught driving under the influ
ence of Intoxicants (DUII)
will have their driver's license
automatically suspended for
at least 90 days by the Motor
Vehicles Division. A person is
considered to be DUII if he or
she registers .08 or above on
the Blood Alcohol Content
(BAC) test, commonly known
ass the breath test says the
Oregon Traffic Safety Com
mission. Although the effect of alco
hol on an individual depends
on a number of different fact
ors, generally speaking, a 160
pound male who drinks two to
four beers, glasses of wine, or
mixed drinks in one to two
hours will register .08 or a
bove. This is the result of the new
drinking law. Senate Bill 710
(SB 710) passed in the 1983
Legislature. According to
Oregon Traffic safety Com
mission Administrator Gil
Bellamy, the new law "is a
major step forward in reduc
ing the number of unneces
sary deaths caused by drink
ing drivers."
Major provisions of SB 710
are:
immediate suspension of
driver's license by the Motor
Vehicles Division for refusing
to lake the breath test. The
suspension is one year for the
first refusal; three years for
subsequent refusals.
immediate suspension of
driver's license by the Motor;
Vehicles Division for failing
the breath test by registering
, .08 or above. The suspension
is 90 days for the first offense;
one year for subsequent offen
ses. mandatory minimum pen
alty if convicted in court of
DUII of either 48 hours in jail
or 80 hours of community
service.
limited availability of oc
cupational licenses.
According to Belismy, "the
law reflects the growing intol
erance of Oregoninas toward
drinking drivers who cause so
much tragedy on our high
ways." A related law, House Bills
2975, which went into effect
October 15, 1983, states a
person between ages 13 and 17
who is convicted of breaking
any law involving alcohol or
controlled substances will be
denied driving privileges.
Suspension for the first offen
se is one year or until the
person becomes 17, whichever
is longer; second offenders
are suspended for one year or
until the person becomes 18,
whichever is longer.

"PayChecking, our interest bearing
checking account, has proven to be a winner.
In fact the number of people using PayChecking
is more than double the national average for '
savings and loans. True.
The reasons are many and varied but it
boils down to this: PayChecking offers you more
for your money. For example, maintain a low
$300 minimum balance and there's no service
charge. Also, all senior citizens have no mini
mum balance required."
Do yourself this favor.

We put the 'pay' in PayChecking,
