Speaking before the Heppner Chamber of Commerce Tuesday, Rykoff said overall three areas of the Umatilla National forest would be most affected by the roadless plan, Skookum, Texas Butte and Potamus, but that the Heppner unit shouldn't see much change. The roadless plan as proposed by the Clinton administration would ban road building on 43 million now-roadless acres, or about 22 percent of the nation's national forest system. By keeping roads and vehicles out, U.S. Forest Service Chief Michael Dombeck has said, the proposal will safeguard the natural values of that land for future generations. Timber industry spokesmen say the plan will reduce logging and increase the chance of fire in the national forests. The proposal is now open to public comment, after which the Forest Service will review the comments and decide how to proceed. Comments for the Umatilla National Forest will be taken on June 28 at the Forest Supervisor's Local high school rodeo competitors High School rodeo competition saw double-header action in Central Oregon this past weekend in Prineville and Redmond.

BANK office at 2517 SW Hailey Ave. in Pendleton from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.. Two information meetings about the roadless plans are also scheduled. One information meeting will be held May 24 also at the supervisor's office in Pendleton from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Another information meeting will be held May 30 at Ukiah High School on Hill St. in Ukiah also from 6 to 9 p.m. For more information about the roadless plan people can also log onto the Internet at www.roadIess.fs.fed.us Rykoff said the Umatilla National Forest has about 1.4 million acres, of which about 20 percent or 278,000 acres will be designated roadless. Under the roadless plan logging and other activity will be allowed on the land, if it is done with helicopters or other non-road methods. Rykoff also stressed that the Forest Service is not closing any roads. There are currently 386,000 miles of roads in the nation's forest system. The roadless plan would most likely effect only parcels of land over 5,000 acres, he said. "We've got more than enough road," Rykoff said," and frankly we have more than enough roads to deal with." • No Bank Guarantee • May Lose Value Insurance products are ottered through BEO Financial Services, a department ot Bank of Eastern Oregon and issued by licensed Insurance Companies Securities products are offered by Royal Alliance Associates.
