Stayton Fire District 2003 Annual Report ● Page 3 ………………TEACHING Fire Prevention Education Twelve Volunteer Firefighters assisted with 5 sta- tion tours and visited 42 classrooms during fire prevention month. Our theme for 2003 was “Get Out! Stay Out!”. We focused on teaching kids to test smoke alarms and to prop- erly maintain them. Also to practice escape routes, know- ing two ways out and having a meeting place outside. Each child received a ribbon and temporary tattoo with a fire safety message and a handout to take home to draw an escape route with their parents. We reached 1103 kids with this safety message: Children learn about being a firefighter 430 Preschool and Kindergarten, 338 First and Second through the “Junior Firefighter Challenge” Graders and 335 Third and Fourth Graders. Our annual Fire Safety Open House in October was a great success with 831 children and parents coming throughout the eve- ning. Betty Lackner chaired the event with help from 29 other Volunteer Firefighters. Juvenile Firesetter Report Public Education Coordinator, Deborah Gregson, received her DPSST Certification as a Juvenile Firesetter Intervention Specialist I in September of 2003. With on- going training and involvement in JFS networks, she can keep up on the latest techniques and strategies for juvenile Prevention Education display on smoke detectors, escape plans, and fire safety. firesetters and their families. This results in a program that is beneficial to the community as well as the firesetter and their family. A decrease of 15% in reported juvenile fire- setting offenses over the last year proves that the system works when properly implemented. Nine interventions were done this year; all nine were males between 5—16 years of age. Ignition sources included matches, lighters and candles. Materials ignited were plastic, paper, grass fields, furniture and accelerants. Most sources were obtained from the homes of the juve- niles. Four kids were referred to Marion County Health for further counseling. All juveniles and their families received fire and life safety education.

Tracking such exchange Because of its trackability, obsidian archaeologically is complicated to the extent that it characterization studies have been integral to involved perishable or consumable goods that have defining interaction spheres extending well into left no trace. But commodities such as obsidian, prehistory (Ames 1994:223). The issue we explore which is both commonly present in archaeological here is the extent to which people of the Willamette contexts in the region and easily traceable to Valley participated in the regional exchange source, provide an important tool in mapping long- networks.

  • Winter Trail Access and Condition Update April 30Th – May 7Th, 2021
    z Winter Trail Access and Condition Update April 30th – May 7th, 2021 Spring Trail Highlights • Summer trails are slowly becoming accessible. However, most middle and high elevation trails are under at least patchy snow. The Deschutes River Trail, Horse Butte area, the Phil’s system, and low elevation trails around Sisters are all accessible. See inside for more details. • For winter recreation, most SnoParks are out of business for the year. Ray Benson and SnoParks above 5500’ are the only ones with adequate snow coverage. Most trail and boundary snow poles have been removed from the Dutchman-Moon Mountain area. Trail and boundary navigation can be difficult without these poles. It is the responsibility of the user to know where they are. The Three Sisters Wilderness, Bend City Watershed, and “Dutchalo” area are all CLOSED to snowmobiles and other motorized vehicles. • WILDERNESS PERMITS WILL BE REQUIRED from 19 trailheads for day use and all trailheads for overnight use in the Mt Jefferson, Mt Washington and Three Sisters wildernesses from May 28 to September 24, 2021. For more information, see inside on at the top of Page 2, just above “Summer Trail Conditions Report.” • TRAIL CLOSURE in effect for multiple trails between Forest Road 4615 and Skyliner Road, including Lower Whoops, Pine Drops, EXT, and portions of Phil’s and Storm King, due to thinning operations. • Got a trail report to share? Relevant information includes things like snow and access, number of downed trees, and overall condition of trail. Send emails to [email protected] rd Ray Benson SnoPark on April 23 .
