Randy Drake Oregon Exec. Director

It is April so spring must be around the corner although it is diffi cult to tell this day. The great story here is the sun is staying in the sky much longer. Each sunset highlights another mountain top as the setting sun moves steadily north; mountain top by snow covered mountain top. Every day is marked by more and more beautiful sunsets in the Cascades as the sun takes longer and 2) Stop the Litter and the Vandalism Poster Program emphasizes the children’s outlook on our public lands; longer to dip, slower into the Pacifi c Ocean. Each day brighter than the what can they do to contribute to the education of others by their actions. I.e. be a good example and pick day before as each apparently works up others empty pop cans. hard to outdo the day before. Just wish there was a way to capture each and send them to you to appreciate. Mona is busy working on the Stop the Litter and the Vandalism Poster Program for Region 6 of the PNW4WDA. This program was started a very long time ago by Region 6 in the hopes of curtailing litter and vandalism at the Christmas Valley Sand Dunes and the surrounding area. Each year we spent a good part of Memorial Day Weekend repairing the damage done by people to public lands. The litter was everywhere and generally it always doubles our volume of our personal litter for the whole weekend. This program has helped beyond any doubt to curtail litter, vandalism, and the proper care and use of public lands. At this time it has made a huge difference at the sand dunes. The program involves the fi fth grade students in four schools; Paisley School, North Lake School, Union School and A. D. Hays School. These schools are the eastern part of Region 6. The Lakeview BLM and Region 6 (Mona Drake) puts on a short program that educates these kids on OHVs and the proper way to use and take care of public lands.

The poster program is aimed at these children as most are using OHVs (have used or are getting their fi rst personal ohv in many cases) and this age level is just understanding what public lands are. It is our belief that they also have an understanding of their personnel ability to make changes within the community of OHVs. It is here they may hear for the fi rst time the phrase abuse public lands and you will lose their rights to ride on public lands for the fi rst time. The BLM and Mona talks to each school and they have them draw up a picture that has to do with not littering and vandalizing public lands. These are drawn in class and at home and many of these picture are very creative and are worthy of being put on milk cartons and passed throughout the nation th but… Within each fi fth grade class only 3) Stop the Litter and the Vandalism Poster Program: The 5 grade class meets a Bureau of Land Management Off- three are chosen to represent there Highway Vehicle representative and a representative from the Pacifi c Northwest 4 Wheel Drive Association from school.

On Saturday March 22nd, 2014 volunteers met up at the Slab ORV Area near Buena Washington around 10 AM for the Slab Clean-up hosted by the Dust Dodgers & Eastern Washington Adventures.

This year the Slab ORV Area was not too trashy. There were a lot of volunteers that came out to help. There were members from the Dust Dodgers, Eastern Washington Adventures, Desert Rats, Sand Scorpions and Selah Cub Scout Pack 276. There maybe a few more that did not get signed in.

We would like to thank all the people that came out to help. Thank you to the Dust Dodgers for taking care of the dump fee.

Thank you for the support from the following: Dust Dodgers, Eastern Washington Adventures, Selah Cub Scout Pack 276, PNW4WDA Region 4, Built-it Offroad and Forest Watch Volunteer Program.

Here are a few pictures I took of the 2014 Slab Clean Up:

The ISDRA, popularly known by many as “Glamis” for the small town within its boundaries, is located near the southern U.S. border in Imperial County, California, and spans roughly 167,000 acres. There is a broad range of management prescriptions covering the area, and over 26,000 acres have been formally designated as Wilderness, where no vehicle access is allowed. The 2013 plan would continue vehicle closures in PMV critical habitat and allow some form of riding on about 127,000 acres. The Dunes are a prized destination for sand- riding enthusiasts throughout the country and over 200,000 of them visit the area in a typical year.

The rider groups intervening in the case to assist in defense of the BLM plan included the American Sand Association, San Diego Off-Road Vehicle Association, Off-Road Business Association, American Motorcyclist Association District 37, California Association of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs, BlueRibbon Coalition, Desert Vipers, California Off-Road Vehicle Association and High Desert Multiple Use Coalition, with funding and strategic support from EcoLogic Partners. The intervenor groups were represented by David Hubbard of Carlsbad, Paul Turcke of Boise, Idaho, and Dennis Porter of Sacramento, California.
