This section o f road, leading to the North Fork John Day Wilderness trail bridge at Big Creek, will r ema i n open to ATVs 50 inches wide or less, motorcycles, horseback and foot travel. No motorized vehicles or equipment are allowed inside the wilderness. A s e g m e n t o f the narrow road washed out four years ago when the North Fork John Day River flooded. Crews were able to stabilize a small portion of the wash through placement of gabions so that access to the trailhead two miles down road would remain. “Since that time, the road bed has continued to erode to the point where it is now im passable to full-sized vehicles and a significant safety hazard to forest visitors. With no safe area for vehicles to park or turn around near the washout, we will place the closure barrier 1.3 miles back near Oriental Creek Cam pground, where the road will remain closed indefinitely to full-sized vehicles,” said Reid. A closure device w i l l be c o n s t r u c t e d near the Oriental Creek Cam pground and w ater bars will be installed along the closed portion of road to help prevent sediment delivery into the wild and scenic North Fork John Day River.

The student council sponsors several events throughout the year, including Red Ribbon Week, a canned food drive, Pennies for Patients and Popcorn Days. They also help with the school carnival, field day, greeting guests at the music concerts and decorating for the school dance. This year, the school added an additional requirement, which was their community service project in which they spent an hour cleaning up the tennis courts during the Mustang Mop-Up. Their final assignment for the year was to purchase a special gift for the school; they chose to purchase three mini iPads to be used next year in the classrooms. -Contributedphoto OSU food preservation and safety hotline opens July 14 CORVALLIS, OR— The O regon State Un i v e r s i t y E x t e n s i o n Service’s food preservation and safety hotline plans to help Oregonians safely can and preserve their garden's abundance again this summer.
