MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Regional Roundup By Cleve Twitched Regional Editor If someone had told you last all that it would be pos sible to have a wet winter and a dry winter at the same time, would you have believ ed it? In terms of inches of pre cipitation, this winter has been quite wet. As of Satur day, we had had 19.03 inches since last Sept. 1, which is 6.S3 inches above normal for this time of year, and almost equals the normal for the en tire season in this area. On the other hand, we are confronted by stories like the following, in Friday's M-T, "The Billie Creek snow sur vey indicates the driest year on record, according to a Med ford Irrigation district report today. Billie Creek snow pack water content Feb. 1 measur ed 1.9 inches compared to the previous driest year of 1934 showing 7.8 inches of water content. Records there go back to 1929, irrigation dis trict officials said . . ." The above would appear to be good material for a lecture on the fact that two state ments in apparent contradic tion can often both be correct. But we won't bother, except to note that this winter dem onstrates how complicated the subject of water is. It can rain heavily and still not help the water needs of an area. On the other hand a winter of heavy snow and very little rain might show up as below normal in the precipitation column, and yet provide above normal supplies of irri gation water. Residents of drier parts of the United States, like sdtith ern California, are usually shocked when they hear talk of water shortages in Oregon, where we have "so much" rain. Actually the problem here appears to be one of not being able to tap all of the water resources we do have. The situation was perhaps best summed up by the headline of a Grants Pass Courier edi torial Friday, "All This Rain and No Water Saved." Notoriety for John We figured that Police Chief John Atchison of Phoe nix would be in for a little notoriety as a result of the incident in which he gave himself a ticket for passing a stopped school bus. And Saturday we noticed that the item had been carried by at least one of the wire services. We recall last year having seen a Medford police park ing ticket on an Oregon State police car, but this is the first time we've heard of an offi cer ticketing himself. District 6C Budget Committee Plans Meeting Tuesday MONDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1983 Central Point The bud- get committee of School Dist rict 6C will meet in the Ad ministration building Tuesday night, immediately following the meeting of the school board.

Jacksonville Residents Reminded of 2-Hour Parking Limit Zone Jacksonville Police Chief Frank Carter reminds resi dents here that there is a two- hour parking zone on Cali fornia st. running from Ore gon to Fifth sts.
