"Our primary concern this time of year is public safety and minimizing user conflicts," said Umatilla National Forest law enforcement officer Bob Wolfe. Under state law, roads cannot be used by mixed traffic of over snow vehicles and highway vehicles as long as the roads remain open and passable to highway vehicles. Most of the Ranger District roads are not passable to highway vehicles after Dec. 1, so the District Access and Travel Management Plan and Forest Road Orders identify that as the date that many roads close to highway vehicles and are designated as snowmobile routes. "Up until December 1, we have elk hunters, commercial users and those cutting Christmas trees still using most of our roads, so we have real safety concerns when we have early snow ." said Wolfe. #• * % ç^forthe L a oMother's (skincf or amendant * Chris Brown, state of Oregon Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) manager, has released the results of a CSEPP community survey. The survey indicates that residents living closest to the Umatilla Chemical Depot need to be better prepared for a chemical accident. The survey, the second in a series of three surveys to be conducted by Moore Information, a Portland, polling firm, confirmed an earlier survey in June 2000 which revealed that 24 percent of the population did not know what to do if they were warned of a chemical emergency at the depot. The latest survey taken in the last week of October show ed that 77 percent agree (45 percent strongly agree) that they know what to do. but 23 percent still do not, and that 37 percent said they did not know what to do and/or would do the wrong thing if they The Pioneer Memorial Clinic will be C L O S E D In addition, cross-country snowmobile travel is only permitted over snow after Dec. 1, mainly to minimize wildlife conflicts and conflicts with hunters "There is nothing more frustrating to a hunter than to stalk elk after a snowfall only to have them scared off by passing snowmobiles, and, when this happens, we certainly hear about it." said Wolfe. Late elk season generally ends by the end of November. The districts are asking for the public's cooperation in respecting designated closures and for anxious winter recreationists to patiently await Dec. 1 before snowmobiling on the National Forest. heard a siren alert. On sheltering in place vs. evacuating, 52 percent of the residents said they would shelter, but 38 percent said they would evacuate. As to who has shelter kits? Adults 18-34 are less likely to have shelter kits than older residents (66 percent versus 85 percent). Hispanics are less likely to be kit owners than are Caucasians (55 percent versus 84 percent). "Some shelter kits were being distributed at the time of the survey, so these figures may appear lower than they really are." according to a CSEPP news release. The surveys are being taken during and following a media campaign that seeks to boost public knowledge about what actions should be taken in case of a chemical emergency. Brown said that a third survey is to be completed in late December, which will mark the end of the six month media campaign.
