that Options 3 & 4 appear to
be worth looking at. However,
I will defer to those in Region
6 who will be addressing this
plan so that a united front will
be presented per their land
use committee directives.

Oregon Executive Director
Report
Longview, WA
First, I would like to wish all
a happy holiday season and
only the best in the New Year.
It seems like only a few short
months ago we were at Winter
Convention and here we are
winding down another year
and here we are preparing for
another Winter Convention.
Arlene Brooks
Washington Exec. Director
January 2010
There are two state meetings
scheduled for 2010. WEST
– January 9th (9:00 – 4:00)
King Oscar Conference Room
415 Ellington Road, Pacific
WA 98047 and EAST January
16th (9:00 – 3:00) Union Gap
School # 2 South 4th Street,
Union Gap, WA 98903
Both are land use meetings
with
scheduled
guest
speakers representing the
Forest Service, Department
of Natural Resources and
Education & Enforcement;
association land coordinators
reporting on specific sites
across
the
state
and
addressing accomplishments
in 2009 and goals for 2010.
The Sustainable Recreation
Work Groups (SRWG) final
report to the legislature
has been released by the
Department
of
Natural
Resources (DNR) it has been
a fourteen month process
–thirty-six
pages
when
completed. Now we shall see
just how far the legislature will
go forward with any of these
recommendations.
The Commissioner of Public
Lands has requested proposed
legislation addressing – fee
charge for access in certain
situations; explore a multiagency access pass; creates
a
concessionaire
pilot
program; and revises DNR’s
recreational immunity laws.
House Bill 2480 was prefiled
for introduction on December
21st by Representatives Blake,
Warnick, Takko, Upthegrove,
and Dunshee – and companion
bill - Senate Bill 2237 was
prefiled by Senators Jacobsen
and Swecker. Representatives
Blake and Warnick and Senator
Jacobsen were the three
legislative
representatives
during the SRWG committee
meetings.
I hope everyone had a
wonderful holiday and hope
to see you at a meeting, a
workshop or out on the trail
this coming year.
Till next time –
Arlene Brooks, WA State
Director

As we roll into the next 50 years
as a four wheeling association,
it is time to take stock of where
we have been and what the
future conceivably holds for
us. The current economic and
political times are not likely to
be friendly to OHV users. It
remains our responsibility to
be vigilant of how travel plans
are handled by the feds and
state and to educate those
around us. I realize that this
is preaching to the choir but
there seems to be a few choir
masters and fewer voices
within the chorus chiming
in to build the crescendo
that lets state and federal
agencies know we won’t go
down without a fight. We
have to respect the opinions
of those around us although
we may not always agree
with what is said or how the
message is delivered. While
it is good to write letters that
bring up specific trails within
that forest system not all of
us have firsthand knowledge.
That does not mean that your
letters asking for parity of use
with other OHV user groups
and a variety of challenging
class II trails is taken for
granted, it is the many voices
and letters that will be heard.
The Ochoco/Deschutes Forest
TMP is taking comments until
12-8-09. Deschutes County
4 Wheelers have excellent
talking points on the website
that can be used to send an
email or letter.
The Ochoco Summit OHV
Park is also in progress and
taking comments until Dec
20.
This will incorporate approx
48 mi of class II use—28 mi
of existing road along with
8 mi of decommissioned
road and 12 mi of new trail).
From reading most of this
will be shared use road and
most likely will not present
challenging trials systems
unless folks write and tell them
what they want. The link for
email and further information
is:http://www.fs.fed.us/r6/
centraloregon/index.shtml.
Lastly, the Oregon state
meeting will be Jan 23, 2010
at the Warn factory at 13920
Pheasant Ct Milwaukee, OR.
This will be a combined region
6 meeting and State meeting.
Region meeting should run
from 0930 to 1130. Lunch
provided and state meeting
will begin with lunch and run
until 3-4pm. Several guest
speakers have been arranged
and will take the round table
discussion
format
once
again. If you have a particular
speaker or person you would
like invited please let me know
right away.
Respectfully submitted,
Beth Ayer

Currently the Fremont Winema
Forest has put forth a summary
of its TMP and the options that
are to be considered. Option
1 lets the forest sit as it is
now. Option 2 leaves all level
1 trails closed and leaves
open 80 acres at Fourmile
Quarry and Rocky Point for
cross country travel. This will
also reduce ML2 trails/roads.
Option 3 will open approx 200
mi of ML1 road for use. It will
close cross country travel at
Fourmile Quarry and Rocky
Point. It will also close some
historically used roads/trails
and result in signage of some
ML2 roads that are currently
being used by OHV groups
as closed. Option 4 Will open
approx 650 mi of ML1 road and
again close those roads/trails
mentioned in option 3. Option
5 will leave all ML1 roads close
and close other trails currently
in use. These plans will be
open for discussion in early
2010 per Fremont Winema.

Yellowstone
To Open This
Season - Legal
Action Filed
By State Of
Wyoming
With another winter fast
approaching, the Wyoming
Attorney General filed a
new
Yellowstone
winter
management legal action
in Cheyenne, Wyoming, on
November 20, 2009. The suit
challenges the Park Service’s
interim rule that would allow
318 snowmobiles and 78 snow
coaches per day for the 20092010 and 2010-2011 seasons
while the Park Service comes
up with a permanent plan.
As previously stated, this
allocation of 318 snowmobiles
is not sufficient to provide
for a viable winter economy
in
gateway
communities
and many visitors could be
denied access. It should be
noted that the Park Service’s
2007 Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) decision,
referred to in Wyoming’s latest
suit, determined that 540 was
an appropriate number of daily
entrances by snowmobiles.
Jack
Welch,
BlueRibbon
Special Project Consultant,
stated, “People will be turned
away this winter. The reason
is not because there is a
biological or scientific reason
to do so - it is because
winter visitors are caught in a
game of politics and 318 is a
convenient number between 0
and 540.”
The BlueRibbon Coalition
and its pro-access partners
will continue to review and
monitor any legal actions
that could affect snowmobile
access to Yellowstone. In
addition, we will continue our
proactive work with the Park
Service to provide a long-term
winter recreation solution in
Yellowstone.
Finally, there continues the
possibility that a courtroom
development could somehow
change things. As always, we
will continue to post updates
at www.saveyellowstonepark
.com.
In the end and perhaps most
importantly,
Yellowstone
will open for the 2009-2010
season on December 15,
2009. Think snow!
Thanks in advance for your
support,

MONTANA
WILDERNESS
BILL MOVING IN
COMMITTEE
ACTION NEEDED
NOW - BEFORE
IT GETS PUT IN
OMNIBUS!
PNW4WDA Association
President 2010
Greetings, my name is Rick Smith. I am seeking nomination to and
running for the office of PNW4WDA Association President 2010.
Dear friends,
Of all the proposed Wilderness
bills (there are dozens),
Montana Senator Jon Tester’s
oddly-named “Forest Jobs and
Recreation Act” is most likely
to move ahead this year. The
bill is scheduled for a Senate
Subcommittee hearing on
December 17, 2009.
We need you to CLICK
HERE and take action today
- BEFORE the bill gets
shoved into some stupid
Omnibus bill!
IMPORTANT
NOTE
We want to be clear about
this. This is a very dangerous
situation. Tester’s bill has
numerous
and
serious
flaws. Senate staff have said
they are planning to fix the
problems via amendment, but
the bill is in committee without
one single change.
In addition to locking away
more than 600,000 acres of
public lands as Wilderness,
this bill will permanently
close one of the most
popular
snowmobile
destinations open today Mount Jefferson.
The “sled heads” on BRC’s
Action Alert list will recognize
the name. Mount Jefferson is
known as the “Crown Jewel of
Western Snowmobiling” and
has been in the cross-hairs of
the radical anti-snowmobiling
groups for decades. However,
the
new
BeaverheadDeerlodge National Forest
planning process resulted in
a compromise solution that
kept most of the popular
snowmobile
areas
open.
This compromise represents
a hard-fought and, sadly,
uncommon victory for the
snowmobile community.
IT
GETS
WORSE:
As noted in an article printed
in BRC’s Magazine about the
bill, it is nearly impossible
to determine what impacts
this bill will have on lands
outside of the Wilderness it
creates. Recently, we learned
that Tester’s bill will close the
Italian Peaks - Divide CreekWeber Lake Trail (#1111). The
Weber Lake-Divide Creek Trail
#1111 is one of the few highalpine motorcycle single track
trails left open in this region.
TODAY is the day to make
a difference on this bill. DO
NOT wait until this bill gets
pushed through via some
Omnibus package “all or
nothing” deal.
Brian Hawthorne:

Ric Foster: Public Lands
Department Manager
208-237-1008 ext 107
I have been in the Association since 1988. Here are a few of
the things that I have done since 1988. I was on the committee that
mapped The Tillamook State Forest. I have help on several work
parties that have taken place in the Tillamook State Forest. Our club
has adopted a trail in which we do maintain throughout the year.
I was on the board for the Team Trophy Challenge. I was president
for Flat Broke & 4 Wheelin 4x4 Club 8 different times and a member
since 1988. I am also member of Hub’s Inn and Sand Flea’s
and Mud a Rama. I have also been the Director of Region 3 of
PNW4WDA for the past 4 years.
I have been in the woods since I was a child on my dirt bike
and with my dad in his 4x4. I find great joy in being in the forest
recreating in the appropriate areas and educating the people on
how to tread lightly in the forest. It’s also nice to be able to show
my grandsons that this is the place to play and have fun with our
sport.
Thank You,
Rick Smith
VOTE FOR ANGIE MAREK
2010 PNW4WDA PRESIDENT
Hi everyone, for those of you who don’t know me my name is Angie
Marek and I am a member of the Spanaway Moonshiners Jeep
Club. Over 15 years ago I stated that someday I would like to run
for PNW4WDA President. My kids are now graduated from college
and on their own and I feel the time is finally right for me to throw
my hat in the ring.
Over the past 30 years I have served as Region II Director and
Asst. Director, PR Chairperson, Spanaway Moonshiners
Reservations Co-Chair (26 years), Club Delegate, ORV Park Board
Member and many other positions and committees where needed.
I am currently a founding board member of the Washington Off
Highway Vehicle Alliance (WOHVA) and serving as their treasurer.
Prior to marrying my husband Dan I was a member of the
Evergreen Conestoga’s Jeep Club. I have grown up in the
PNW4WDA and have raised our children in the Association. I love
what we as a group stand for and where we can go to further OffHighway recreation.
I will be seeking a nomination for the office of President at Winter
Convention and ask you for your support and your vote.
Thank you,
Angie Marek

BOARD OF
DIRECTORS
MEETING
LONGVIEW, WA
DECEMBER 5, 2009
President Luke May (Dirty
Thirteen 4X4, DooWop Ditty
& Outdoor 4X4’s) called the
meeting to order at 9:04 AM.
The Pledge of Allegiance was
recited and a moment of silence
for the sick and departed
was observed.
Guests
present: Walter Jessen, Bob
Brooks, Grace May, Diana
Stafford and Jordan Moos
the granddaughter of Dave &
Frogg McMains.
Hosting Statement was given
by Carol Jensen (IAD #2,
Individual Members Club and
Sand Fleas). Carol said water,
pop, coffee and snacks were
available in the back of the
room and sandwiches would
be served at lunch. Coffee
was donated by Walter and
Linda Jessen (Trailbreakers,
Inc).
PRESIDENTS STATEMENT:
Luke thanked everyone for
coming and especially the
host group for providing the
room and food.
Don
Jensen
(IAD
#1,
Sand Fleas) made a motion
seconded by Rick Smith
(Region 3 Director and Hubs
in 4-Wheeling) to accept the
minutes from the May 30th
AKA June Board meeting).
Motion passed.
TREASURER’S
REPORT
was given by Treasurer
Dave McMains (Hurtin’ Units
and
Sand
Commandos).
Dave had a written report
containing copies of the
profit and loss for 2009; the
proposed officer’s budget for
2010; proposed budget for
2010; and the balance sheet.
Dave indicated that everything
was running just about on
schedule. He said that the
2010 dues that have come
in have not been reflected in
the report. He said that in the
future we may have to look at
a dues increase. Expenses
are going up and our income
is not. Dave passed around a
copy of the Treasurer’s report
from February 1970 and we
had income of $640 dues,
initiation fees of $90, a charge
for emblems $858.75; for total
income of $2,661 for the year.
They had total expenses of
$1800 with a net income or
cash on hand at year end of
$829; $477 inventory; $75 in
assets that would have been
paper and pencils for a net
worth of $1381.98. You can
see that we’ve come a long
way since 1970. This report
was all on one piece of paper.
Carol Jensen (IAD #2,
Individual Members Club &
seconded by Rick Smith
(Region 3 Director & Hubs in
6
4-Wheeling) that we accept
the Treasurer’s report with
the proposed budget to be
presented to the delegates
in
February
at
Winter
Convention. Motion passed.
Beth Ayer (Oregon Executive

Junction City Jeepers (her
former club that had dissolved),
$400 to the Scholarship Fund,
$400 to the Trail Maintenance
Fund and their trailer to the
Comp Committee. The title for
the trailer will be transferred to
the PNW4WDA, and becomes
a part of the Comp Chairman’s
inventory.
Dave also reported that money
is coming in quarterly $42.50
from the pay back settlement
from a former Treasurer.
MEMBERSHIP:
Chairman,
Dave McMains (Treasurer,
Hurtin’ Units and Sand
Commandos) reported that he
has been working with Angela
Holm (Region 1 Director
& Happy Campers) on the
membership Access program.
Angela was not present due
to a death in her family. Dave
reported that Angela and her
husband have been working
on a newer access program
and it is working very well.
They will be able to print
the membership cards and
everything else we need. A
question was asked about
associate members, how
they know when dues are
due. Dave said everyone’s
dues come due January 1
of each year. Everyone gets
a letter, clubs and individual
members as well as associate
members.
SECRETARY:
a written
report was presented by
Sande Nettnin, (Secretary,
and Desert Rats). She said
we have no Constitution or
By-law proposals to vote
on in February at Winter
Convention. We did have one
come in past the deadline and
that will be on the agenda for
Fall Delegates in September
2010.
If you received a
generic pin when you took
office you should report that
pin as part of your inventory.
It was a brass pin that didn’t
have your name on it only the
office. Not everyone indicated
that they had received one.
Edward Campbell (Region
2 Director and Dog Pound
Off Road) asked if he could
receive a copy of the inventory
list for Region 2 that is on file
so he could see if he has any
of it. Sande will send him a
copy of what she has. Arlene
Brooks (Washington State
Executive Director & Green
River Valley Jeepers) said
she had received a copy of
some old Trail Jamboree files
that she will inventory and put
in a box in the storage unit in
Puyallup. Arlene will mark it
Trail Jamboree inventory and
have the name of the Trail
JamboreeCo-Chairmen and
the PNW4WDA President
listed on it; she will send a
copy of the inventory to the
secretary for the files.
Luke
May
(PNW4WDA
President, Dirty Thirteen, Doo
Wop Ditty and Outdoor 4X4’s)
asked what is in the storage
unit? Luke wanted to know
if we had any computer stuff
like monitors, key boards etc.
– answer as per the March
10, 2007 board meeting all
computer stuff was disposed
of except two towers. They
were the only things worth
keeping.
Arlene said that
she knew that we have 10
folding tables as well as other
permanent files.
OREGON

DIRECTOR Beth Ayer (Wolf
Pack 4X4) had a written

WASHINGTON EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR Arlene Brooks
(Green River Valley Jeepers)
had a written report. Arlene
had an update on things
that happened after she
submitted her report.
The
Department
of
Natural
Resources (DNR) intertwines
on many levels. Arlene is on
the Sustainable Recreation
Committee (appointed by
the 2008 land commissioner,
Doug
Sutherland)
and
attended a meeting with the
Senate Natural Resources
Committee. The DNR staff
gave an overview of the
committee’s recommendations
to the Legislature.
A 30
minute question and answer
period with the Sustainable
Recreation Group was held
discussing the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Support recreational
immunity – state lands
Up-cap fuel tax –
revenue goes to NOVA
Promote E & E
Supported access fee
( trail head/day use &
multi use fee)
Support Legacy Trust
(long Term funding)
Arlene said all user groups
need to be on the same page.
DNR seems to be running
a little behind the times
where fines and E & E are
concerned.
Arlene
said
some
recommendations from the
Sustainable Recreation Work
Group will be put into a bill this
session.
Arlene said she keeps busy
answering letters, e-mails
and posting on the web site
when necessary. She passed
around copies of her WA
State Land Chairmen and
Coordinators; let her know if
you have any corrections.
The
NOVA legal
issue
(Washington OHV Alliance
– WOHVA and Northwest
Motorcycle Association (NMA)
is at a status quo for now. The
Attorney General is talking
with the lawyer. The law suit
has been filed. Hopefully we
will know something at Winter
Convention.
Arlene passed around a
paper from the Wilderness
society showing quads, in the
past they have only shown 4wheel drives doing resource
damage.
Arlene said when she has
the time; she review’s the
timber harvest on state land.
The DNR has six regions 110 timber sales to review;
five sales affect ORV areas.
Arlene said she usually sends
these to her land people but
sometimes she sends them
to the region directors asking
them to check them out.
Dave McMains (Treasurer,
Membership, Hurtin’ Units
4-Wheelin’ News
and Sand Commandos) said
he had been appointed to the
Resource Management Plan
for Washington State. Arlene
thanked all the members who
sit on the different Washington
State Racs.
A discussion was held on
the money that was raised
by WASSA to keep the
snowmobile grooming going
and how this may affect the
4X4 community in the future.
Another question does anyone
know where the funding
came from in the amount
of five million dollars for the
Washington
State
Parks
Horse Center in CleElum.
Answer – No, but it probably
has been in the works for at
least a couple of years.
A discussion on filing for a
refund of fuel tax for our ORV’s
was held. Arlene will have
forms available at her state
meeting with more information
as to the qualifications, and
how to file the form.
Arlene reminded everyone
that she is having two state
meetings, one on the west
side of the mountains and one
on the east side a week a part.
The west side January 9 and
the east side January 16.
IAD #1 Don Jensen, IAD
#2 Carol Jensen (Individual
Members Club & Sand Fleas)
had a written report.
Blue Ribbon is offering a
special deal to anyone who
wants to join – renew – or
extend your BRC membership
for $30 - 4-Wheel parts will
send you a $25 gift card. This
information and application is
on the back page of the Blue
Ribbon magazine.
Carol said that Cal 4-Wheel
puts out a position paper for
every issue that they have, that
would be a good thing for us to
do also. Carol passed around
a news letter from California
as well as a Tread Lightly
update. California is giving
away a 2009 Jeep Rubicon
and tickets were available for
$2. Carol said there was a
good turn out at the NAMRC
(North American Motorized
Recreation Council) meeting
November 2 in Las Vegas,
Carol said they had six new
participants and United was
there and they asked what it
would take to get the PNW to
rejoin. Carol said they would
bring it back to the board.
Arlene Brooks (Washington
State Executive Director &
Green River Valley Jeepers)
and Carol Jensen IAD #2,
Sand Fleas) had been handing
the Idaho land issues and
they sent some information
on to Beth Ayer (Oregon
State Executive Director and
Wolf Pack 4X4’s) to keep her
updated. We may have lost
our Idaho director, but the
three of them are letting them
know that we are still alive and
watching what’s going on.
Don Jensen IAD #1, Individual
Members Club and Sand
Fleas)
brought
up
the
discussion on the Jeep Raffle
that is being put on by Cal 4-
Wheelers. Discussion was
on how the tickets are being
sold and that brought up our
Jeep raffle. We made money
on it but were not able to
sell tickets on line. The Cal
4-Wheel Jeep was loaded
with advertisements and that
is what we needed to have
when we had ours. They
also put out a slick magazine
called “In Gear” and had
a flyer for their Jeep raffle.
These publications are very
nicely done – not run off in the
back room so to speak. This
is something to think about
if we decide to have a Jeep
raffle again.
COMP REPORT: Rob Stafford
chairman (Cascade 4X4’s and
Over Bored Racing) had a
written report. Not a whole
lot is going on this time of the
year. Rob is trying to get the
PNW Independent members
organized to put on a play
day. Rob said he had found
out that because they are not
a club they can’t get the PNW
insurance so Rob said there
were two ways that would
work, the first being that he
would try to find a small club
that would handle the paper
work or the competition
committee would host the
event; but Rob would have to
get approval from the board
to have the Comp Committee
host it. So Rob made a
motion that the PNW Comp
committee be allowed to host
a race at Ethel on June 5th &
6th staffed by PNW members;
seconded by Don Jensen (IAD
#1, Individual Members and
Sand Fleas) motion passed.
Rob will try to get a club to
step up and host the event. If
he can’t, the Comp committee
is authorized to host. At this
time Summer Convention will
probably be put on by the
Comp committee because
no region has submitted a bid
to host it.
Rob has looked
into purchasing some good
HF radios that could be used
for PNW activities. Rob has
a bid from PSI (Puget Sound
Instrument) for 12 batteries
plus chargers, 12 ear pieces
etc. for $2,776.22. Rob made
a motion that the PNW Comp
committee pays half and the
PNW pays the other half,
the Comp committee would
maintain them and keep
track of them. They could
be rented out, have a rental
and damage fee. Everyone
seemed to have lots of ideas
and discussion followed. No
one seconded the motion so
Rob withdrew it. After more
discussion a motion was
made by Don Jensen IAD #1,
Sand Fleas) that the PNW
purchase the 12 HF radio
package deal that Rob had
presented the paper work for
and that they are assigned
to the Comp Committee,
seconded
by
Edward
Campbell (Region 2 Director,
Web Master and Dog Pound
Off Road) motion passed.
State Director & Green River
Valley Jeepers) made a
motion that Rob come up with
January 2010
guidelines for the radio use,
seconded by Don Jensen.
Motion passed.
Lunch break was from 11:55
AM to 12:55 PM.
Carol Jensen (IAD #2,
Individual Members Club
and Sand Fleas) reminded
everyone that in order to have
the PNW insurance for your
event - dues must be paid by
January 31st and she needs
the name and place for your
event turned in to her at Winter
Convention.
Back to the radios, Rob had a
question about how much the
rental fee should be. More
discussion followed and Rob
will draw up a form stating what
the fees would be and send it
to the board for approval.
Ratification could take place at
the March board meeting.
Earl Nettnin, (Region 4
Director and Desert Rats)
asked Rob if he had ever seen
the kid’s competition race
rules. This was found in the
archives and Arlene Brooks
has two of them. She will
make a copy and give one to
Rob. She was not going to
turn loose of the originals.
REGION REPORTS:
Region 1 – Director Angela
Holm (Happy Campers) had
a written report, she was not
present due to a death in her
family. The Board sent a note
of condolence to her family.
Region 2 – Director Edward
Campbell (Web Master and
Dog Pound Off Road) had a
written report. Arlene Brooks
(Washington State Director
and Green River Valley
Jeepers) asked Edward if he
was aware of the damage
that took place at Government
Meadows on the Naches trail.
She said that it had already
been turned into the sheriff’s
office; the Naches District said
they were on top of it. Arlene
made a comment that Reiter
trail is temporarily closed not
permanently closed.
Region 3 – Director Rick
Smith (Hubs in 4-Wheeling)
had a written report. Rick
said he had a correction on
his report and the number
should be 38 instead of 35
years for participation in Shore
Patrol. Airplane Hills in the
Tillamock state forest – the
gate has been locked in the
open position. Rick is working
on trying to get two clubs back
into the region.
Region 4 – Director Earl
Nettnin (Desert Rats) had a
written report. Earl added to
his report that he had met the
new ranger, Irene Davidson at
the Naches TWIG meeting.
She is from Colorado educated
in Botany. Her family does not
own any motorized recreation
vehicles. She was impressed
with the TWIG meeting and
glad to see the different users
get together to discuss things.
She likes attending meetings
and was planning to attend
the snowmobile meeting and
the
horsemen’s
meeting.
A work party was held at
Copper City and the 1808
road that had been washed
out has a temporary bridge
coming in also work has
started on the design for the
permanent bridges for both
areas that were out. The Little
Rattlesnake has about one
day of work left. They want
to have a grand re-opening
in the spring, when the snow
goes away. This has been a
10 year project. On the DNR
side, South East Washington
(our area) 15 counties will
have a new manager, her
name is Lora Ditmer. Earl emailed our contact and asked
how this will affect us, but so
far have not heard back from
him.
We have had some
information on an ORV park
that would provide a place
to race and play in Eastern
Washington, but do not have
anything to share at this time.
It was suggested that perhaps
the gentlemen could have a
booth at Winter Convention
to share information on the
idea if space was available.
Someone needs to contact
Angie Marek and ask.
Region 6 – Director Alan
Paulson
(Umpqua
Valley
Timber Cruisers) not present
and no report was sent in.
Region 7 – Director Jeff
Williams (CJ’s Only) had a
written report. Jeff said the
Travel Management Plan is
still on hold.
CLUB POWER/ WE DID IT:
NO REPORT
PR/SAFETY ED – Chairman
Inc.) had a written report.
Linda said we have about
6,400 Who and What We Are
and 9,600 Tri-Folds. She also
has some key chains that
seem to be a hot item to use
as give a ways. Linda had a
PR booth at a new 4-Wheel
drive store in Portland; she
gave out lots of information.
Linda said between that
and Shore Patrol she had
5 people tell her that they
never received anything after
sending the paper work in, so
she told them to apply again.
Arlene Brooks gave Linda
things from Operation Shore
Patrol as Linda is going to put
up the Operation Shore Patrol
display at Winter Convention
for the 50th Anniversary.
TRAIL JAMBOREE
– Co-Chairmen Sid & Kelda
Hagemeier (Shindig Wheelers)
said they have filled out the
paper work for the 5-year
permit and it has been turned in
to the Naches Ranger District.
They are hoping that this year
they would be able to use
the Little Rattlesnake trail as
one of the trails at Jamboree.
They are working with the
out going Trail Jamboree CoChairmen (Merrick and Kim
Graves, Wandering Willys’
Jeep Club and Green River
Valley Jeepers). They are
also working on obtaining
sponsorships. They would like
to set up a checking account
for Trail Jamboree (this would
be a petty cash account) so
Continued on page 8
7
Continued from page 7
they could take care of paying
for some things that come up
that need to be paid right away,
without having to pay it out of
their own pocket then submit it
to the treasurer and wait while
it gets sent on for the second
signature
before
coming
back to them. Carol Jensen
IDA #2, Individual Members
Club and Sand Fleas) made
a motion seconded by Beth
Ayer (Oregon State Director
and Wolf Pack 4X4’s) that we
open a petty cash checking
account for Trail Jamboree
in the amount of $1000.00
- motion passed. This will
make it very easy for the
Treasurer to move funds into
that account from the PNW’s
main account without having
to take time getting all the
proper signatures on checks.
This account will have the
same tax ID number.
Edward
Campbell
(Web
Master, Region 2 Director,
and Dog Pound Off Road)
asked why we don’t have two
Jamborees. Lots of discussion
followed and basically we don’t
have the resources to handle
another one.
WAYS & MEANS Chairman
Kathy (Frogg) McMains (Hurtin’
Units & Sand Commandos)
said she has purchased
50th Anniversary t-shirts and
sweatshirts. She has kids
sizes priced at $10 for t-shirts
and $20 for sweatshirts; adult
sizes $15 for t-shirts and $35
for sweatshirts. Adult sizes
on hand are small – 4X,
children’s sizes small – large.
Frogg said she had talked
with Merrick and Kim about
using their trailer for ways
& means at Trail Jamboree
and they have agreed to loan
it. We discussed having the
products available on line and
in the past it has not worked,
but Edward Campbell (Web
Master, Region 2 Director and
Dog Pound Off Road) will work
with Frogg to design a web
page that will work. Frogg
said she has small plastic
bags available as well as large
bags. Frogg asked if anyone
needs them for an event,
please let her know about a
month in advance so she can
be sure she has enough on
hand.
WEB
MASTER
Edward
Campbell (Region 2 Director
and Dog Pound Off Road)
had a written report. Edward
said we had an incidence
where someone copied some
conversations that had been
posted in the member’s only
section and posted them on
other sites. This is a NO
NO and will not be tolerated.
The persons involved were
punished and were informed
that we will not allow such
actions.
Everything in the
member’s only section is
private and is not to be shared
elsewhere. Edward said if you
have any comments about
the web site good or bad get
in touch with him and let him
know your thoughts. He is
looking for information on
Ocean Shore Patrol to make
8
a web page. Edward will take
a look at the center section
in the November Tri-Power
about Ocean Shore Patrol and
see what he can make. Arlene
Brooks (Washington State
Director and Green River
Valley Jeepers) asked how
we were planning on handling
comments on the web site that
are not true. Arlene will send
the comments to Edward so
he can discuss it with the rest
of the web team to see how
best to handle things. This will
not be allowed either.
TRI-POWER – we had a note
from our Editor Ron McDonald.
He asks that we keep sending
articles and pictures and the
deadline is the 21st of each
month. He had originally told
us that Jensen’s were going
to pick up 500 copies of the
November issue and take them
to the meeting, however, they
were picked up by Walter and
Inc.). Earl Nettnin (Region 4
Director and Desert Rats) said
he had given the new ranger
in the Naches District copies
of our publications and she
expressed a desire to be on
our mailing. She will be added
to the list.
•
State Director and Green River
Valley Jeepers) passed around
a couple of 1970 publications;
one was “4X4 Roundup” and
the other “Keep On Jeeping”.
These were prior to Tri-Power.
They were very interesting to
look at.
VIDEO CHAIRMAN - Don
Jensen (IAD #1, Individual
Members Club and Sand
Fleas) said the videos are
listed in Tri-Power. Don said
he had received a box of stuff
from the Jolly Jeepers and he
will go through them and see
about putting them on DVD’s.

NEW BUSINESS
50th Anniversary – Luke would
like to have a non typical
meeting this year. He would
like to have sort of a history
lesson, have each office
give a history of how that
position came about. We still
would have some business
that needs to be taken care
of. Region directors could
tell about the history in their
region and give an over view
of what’s been happening.
State Director and Green
River Valley Jeepers) asked if
January 2010
we wanted the past presidents
to speak at the banquet, and
possibly give an overview
of their term of office at the
business meeting. The board
feels that it would be nice if
they (the past presidents)
wanted to speak at the
business meeting.
Arlene
said we can have as many
tables as we need for the
displays and we need to
bring our own table cloths.
Arlene is working with Ron
McDonald (Tri-Power Editor)
on putting together a display.
Discussion on whether or not
we wanted a PNW4WDA 50th

RESPONSE TO:
----- Original Message ----From:
DNR RE Recreation E-News
Sent: Tuesday, December 22,
2009 4:51 PM.
I am not at all impressed by
your new recreation plans.
I love to hear all the talk
of
“improved
recreation
opportunities in our state” and
“improving access on DNR
managed lands”, but all of
your actions in the past are
the opposite of your words.
You recently announced the
‘temporary’ closing of Tahuya
and Reiter, and the P5000
Rd has been closed for years.
How is this helping? I have
been camping and running
on the DNR land north of
Ellensburg year around in my
4x4 and dirt bike for many
years [decades] with a large
group of friends, and I have
rang in the last 12 consecutive
New Years while camped
up Coleman Creek Rd. This
year I’m told we have to go
elsewhere because the DNR
leased it to the Parks Dept from
Dec 15th to April 15th, and it is
being groomed now. To make
it worse, the legislature stole
ALL of our off-road NOVA
funds and gave them to the
Parks Dept, who is now using
them to keep us out of the
public land that is supposed
to be managed for the
‘broadest good of the public’
[not just the snowmobilers,
who already had thousands
of miles of groomed roads].
Now to top that off, all you
can think about is charging
more access fees to give us
less land and more closures.
How do all these closures
“improve recreation access to
DNR Managed Trust Lands”?
Who is this “broad coalition of
support”, a bunch from the antiaccess crowd? It certainly isn’t
the motorized users! Why are
we still competing with “nonmotorized recreation users”
for DNR managed lands?
They already have HALF of
our states forests locked up
in ‘Wilderness’ [plus recently
another 106,000 acres of
WildSky], while you brag about
the motorized users getting
about 10% of the small 10,000
acre
area at
Reiter. You
say “science-based recreation
on state lands will be available
for future Generations”, but
that is BS if you are closing
more every year. You keep
pushing more and more
motorized users into fewer
and fewer open areas, then
you complain about overuse in
those areas, and close more
yet. Isn’t there anybody smart
enough to see that if all types
of motorized use have been
growing for years, that we
need MORE area, not LESS.
Every area of public land that
is closed to motorized use
is
direct
discrimination
against every disabled and/
or elderly person, because
we aren’t able to hike. The
4-Wheelin’ News
state
mandates
disabled
parking spaces everywhere,
yet suddenly believes that we
can walk for miles in rough
terrain to see the beauty of our
remote lands. When are you
going to come up with some
actions that match any of
your words? Please look into
all these inconsistencies and
let me know who can I talk to
more about this?

recreation legislation
Greetings everyone!

The following news release
was sent out today.
Happy Holidays!

Goldmark works to improve
recreation opportunities on
DNR-managed lands
DNR advances
recommendations from
Sustainable Recreation
Work Group
OLYMPIA—Commissioner
of
Public
Lands
Peter
Goldmark today announced
agency-requested legislation
aimed at improving funding
for recreation on trust lands
managed by the Washington
State Department of Natural
Resources (DNR). The bill
requests authorization for
DNR to charge recreation
access
fees
in
certain
situations, explores a multiagency access pass, creates a
concessionaire pilot program,
and revises DNR’s recreational
immunity.
The bill is a direct result of
consensus recommendations
made by the Sustainable
Recreation Work Group in
a report submitted to the
Washington State Legislature.
Bill sponsors are Sen. Ken
Jacobsen (D-Seattle) and Rep.
Brian Blake (D-Aberdeen),
both of whom represented the
legislature on the Work Group,
as did Rep. Judy Warnick (RMoses Lake). Rep. Warnick
is also one of the bill’s cosponsors.
“I
want
to
thank
the
members of the Sustainable
Recreation Work Group for
their diligent efforts. These
recommendations will improve
recreation opportunities in
our state,” said Goldmark.
“This bill will allow DNR to
be responsive to the public
and the growing recreation
demands on our state’s trust
lands.”
The Work Group’s Final
Report to the Legislature is
the culmination of a year and
a half of work and offers a
total of 11 recommendations
that address funding and
improving access to recreation
on DNR-managed trust lands,
while assuring that resources
are sustainably managed. In
addition, the report proposes
two
recommendations
directly to DNR concerning
recreational access.
“Given the current economic
climate and the budget
challenges
facing
the
state, this bill will focus on
recommendations that can be
realistically carried out in the
near term,” Goldmark said. “I
know that the citizens of this
state are passionate about
the outdoors. I am committed
to
advancing
additional
recreation-related issues in
future legislative sessions.”
The
bill
reflects
the
following
Work
Group
recommendations:
•
Access fee. Authorizes
DNR to charge for using
specific recreation sites and
for hosting or attending special
events on DNR-managed
trust lands. Currently, DNR
does not have the authority to
charge fees.
•
Multi-agency access
pass.
DNR,
Washington
Department of Fish and
Wildlife, and Washington
State Parks would explore
development of a single pass
allowing access to all lands
managed by any of the three
agencies.
•
Concessionaire
pilot
program.
Directs
DNR to initiate a pilot
project to determine the
feasibility of contracting with
concessionaires to provide
services at DNR’s recreation
sites. One pilot project will be
located in eastern Washington
and one in the western part of
the state.
•
Recreational immunity.
The bill would align DNR’s
immunity from recreationrelated
lawsuits
with
Washington State Parks and
the Washington Department
of Fish and Wildlife.
“It’s exciting to see such a
broad coalition of support
behind this bill and to see
our work reflected in potential
action at the legislative level,”
said Elizabeth Lunney, Work
Group member and executive
director of the Washington
Trails Association.
Work Group membership
included a diverse group of
people, with representatives
and leaders from both
motorized and non-motorized
recreational uses. Historically,
many of these interests have
been at odds with one another
as users compete for limited
places to recreate on state
lands.
“Our versatile group quickly
found common ground and
January 2010
recognized that we would
need to work together if we
were going to develop realistic
recommendations to improve
recreational opportunities for
everyone on lands managed
by DNR,” said Arlene Brooks,
Work Group member and
executive director of the
Pacific Northwest Four Wheel
Drive Association.
“We had to grapple with the
fact that our state’s growing
population is putting extra
pressure on state lands,
especially as less and less
private land is available
for public access,” said
Jon Kennedy, Work Group
member
and
executive
director of the Evergreen
Mountain Bike Alliance. “Our
recommendations
reflect
a deep commitment to the
ongoing health of and access
to these state lands.”
“I
am
so
glad
that
Commissioner
Goldmark
is leading the charge to ensure
that funding and opportunities
for science-based recreation
on state lands will be available
for future generations—and
this bill should do it.” said
Darrell Wallace, incoming
president of the Backcountry
Horsemen of Washington.
Both versions of the bill can be

State Legislature’s website.

HCHDW's recent trail
build up at Radar OHV
area.
By Ann Haak
The HCHDW in partnership with the BLM and
COHVOPS added about 3 1/2 miles of trail to the
existing Radar OHV area on November 12th and
13th.
The partnership between the BLM and HCHDW
has been a work in progress over the past 2 years.
The Radar OHV area is one of the cornerstones
of this cooperative effort. COHVOPS joined us for
this project and provided a small cat and operator,
Mike Myers, for the two day effort.
The OHV area has been in existence since the
early 90’s on the BLM resource plan, but has been
in local use for much longer. Management of the
area has been conducted solely by the BLM and
was limited to intermittent clean up efforts until the
HCHDW’s joined the effort in late 2007. HCHDW
became a nonprofit corporation and joined
PNW4WDA in May 2008. The partnership has
conducted 2 Public Lands Day clean ups, started
4-Wheelin’ News
the process of signing open trails, provided maintenance on existing
routes, built and installed
a kiosk, and participated
in negotiations with an
adjacent private land
owner.
Trespass on private
land adjacent to the
OHV area prompted the
landowner to ask the
BLM to close the area
completely.
Through
meetings with BLM,
HCHDW,
local
law
enforcement, BLM law
enforcement, county government, and the land owner, the area’s future
has been secured. The BLM and HCHDW have spent many hours and
used OPRD ATV grant money to identify and sign the boundary between
the OHV area and the private lands. Trespass still continues in the
area but we feel we
have made significant
progress.
Trail expansion was
undertaken as a part
of the effort to reduce
trespass by providing
loop routes back into
the OHV area where
existing routes cross
onto private land. The
expansion was put
together on short notice by Brett Page, BLM recreation planner, when
funding and resources became available. Moisture content on the
ground seemed right, so we moved quickly in an attempt to beat the
winter freeze. As it turns out, the expansion was accomplished in an early
winter storm with temperatures below freezing, snow on the ground and
near blizzard conditions.
HCHDW provided 27
hours of effort during
the 2 day event with
special
recognition
going to Jason Ward
for his efforts in flagging
routes.
Many more
hours were donated
over the last year by
HCHDW
members
exploring
potential
routes and identifying
needs.
HCHDW’s wish to thank Brett Page and Mark Myers for their efforts under
very difficult conditions
in
completing
this
phase of the project.
When the grounds
thaw a little we will
sign the new routes
and GPS them for
future mapping. Two
additional routes were
planned but will have to
be completed at a later
date. The routes are
all within the footprint of the existing OHV area.

Randy is running for Oregon State Director
Our 50th Anniversary Winter Convention is coming up in February!! One of the
items of business at the convention will be electing State Executive Directors
for the coming year. For those of you who were not able to attend this year’s
Fall Delegates’ Meeting, We want to let you know that Randy Drake has been
nominated for the position of Oregon Executive Director.
But first, you may be wondering just what it is that a State Executive Director
is supposed to be doing. According to the PNW4WDA Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP’s) the duties of State Executive Director are:
1. Assists the President as requested at PNW4WDA meetings and
functions.
2. Presides over the State Caucus Meeting at PNW4WDA Delegates
Meetings.
3. Presides over State Meeting, when directed by the State delegates
to hold such meetings.
4. Appoints PNW4WDA members, coordinates and reports to the
membership the activities of the State commissioned advisory
committees. Note: While not all of these are specifically listed in the
SOP’s, for Oregon these commissions may include:
a. Oregon Parks and Recreation Department All Terrain
Vehicle Account Allocation Committee (ATV-AAC).
b. Pacific Northwest Recreation Advisory Committee (Forest
Service and BLM).
c. Tillamook State Forest Recreation Advisory Committee.
5. Appoints PNW4WDA members to advisory committees, boards,
etc. as the need and opportunity arises. These would be outside of
the committees designated above.
6. Informs the Regional Directors and Regional Land Matter Chairman
as the need arises. Coordinates conservation, ATV, ORV and
Legislative matters in the State.
7. Submits a written report to Tri-Power monthly.
8. Makes contact with County, State and Federal officials to promote
public relations and sport of four wheeling.
9. Works with President on PR activities within respective State when
there is no appointed PR person.
10. Prepares and submits annual budget for said office to the Treasurer by November 15th.
11. Responsible for the Kathy Sterner Award as outlined in the SOP’s.
12. Attends all delegate and board meetings; if unable to attend, submits a report.
Many of you already know Randy, but for those who do not, we would like to take this opportunity
to introduce you to him. Randy has been a member of the Deschutes County 4-Wheelers since
1976 and has been actively wheeling since 1962. You could find no other more responsible, more
involved ‘wheeler around. Randy has been working for several decades to promote our sport both
in Central Oregon and throughout the entire state.
We all know it takes many people to work for trails and no one person can do it all, however, it is
because of Randy’s leadership that the Deschutes County 4-Wheelers will be constructing several
hundreds of miles of Class II trails in the next couple of years. Nowhere else in the southern half of
Oregon can this be said. No one else in the southern half of Oregon has produced the results that
Randy has achieved. Randy’s leadership is responsible for changing the mindset of the Forest
Service and BLM in Central Oregon to realize that Class II 4x4 users are indeed a responsible
group of forest users and that we need adequate trails.
The Deschutes County 4-Wheelers club has become one of the largest clubs in Region 6.
Because of the leadership of Randy, our club has seen an explosive growth in recent years with
over 70 active individuals. He has spread the word of our club like no one else, has developed
membership awareness like no one else, and has made this club a regional powerhouse. The
forest service and BLM now consider our club as partners, as “go-to” people, as a critical user
group, all because of the work that Randy has led.
Randy’s influence and leadership has not ended at the club level. He has been a leader within
Region 6 for many years. Randy has been a previous Region 6 Director, is currently Vice Director
and is also the Region 6 Land Matters Chairman. He has been the recipient of the PNW4WDA
110% Award numerous times.
Because of Randy, our region has implemented the land use system that the Washington PNW
has enjoyed for years. We now have people who are responsible for land use issues within their
own areas and who work with the other land use people to provide a clear and unified voice within
Region 6. Because of the unity that is growing amongst the clubs in our region, it is no wonder that
attendance and participation has doubled.
If elected as Oregon State Executive Director, you will see monthly reports concerning land matters
affecting our sport. Updates on legislative issues will be presented as well as monthly updates
form the Forest Service and BLM Travel Management activities. Regular updates concerning
the projects presented to the ATV-AAC will be provided. It is his belief that the state of Oregon
is but one large group of four-wheelers. This state needs someone who will attend meetings in
both Region 6 and Region 3. Working statewide coordinating our regional land matters much like
Arlene has done in Washington. This is way past due and all sides of the state needs to be heard.
Hearing is not enough however as we need action on the ground and in the offices of BLM and
Forest Service. With both sides of the state working together he will create updates on what is
happening. This is only half of what is needed still. He will get people to take action that produce
a positive sign posting that simply states Class II route, trail, way or road is permitted here.
With all the change that goes with the new travel management rules, it is critical that we stay
informed and engaged. With Randy at the helm, our job will become much easier. In addition,
you will also see regular updates and participation by our Executive Director on the racing side
of our sport and I can assure you it will be straight. Please recommend Randy for Oregon State
Executive Director when your delegates vote at Winter Convention.
Respectfully submitted,
Jon and Patti Pyland

RECREATION
COALITION FILES
BRIEF IN ONGOING
ROADLESS LAWSUIT
POCATELLO, ID (January
5) - A coalition of recreation
advocacy groups filed an
Amicus Curiae brief in the
10th District Court of Appeals
related to the 2001 Roadless
Rule this week, marking over
a decade of involvement in
the controversial issue. The
recreation groups include
the BlueRibbon Coalition
(BRC), California Association
of 4 Wheel Drive Clubs
(“CA4WDC”), United Four
Wheel Drive Associations
(UFWDA) and the American
Council
of
Snowmobile
Associations (ACSA).
Environmental activists are
appealing a 2008 decision by
U.S. District Court of Wyoming
Judge Clarence Brimmer
declaring the Clinton era
Roadless Rule illegal. That
ruling came in a case brought
by the State of Wyoming in
2007, which paralleled an
earlier complaint filed by
Wyoming in 2001. Brimmer’s
2008 decision minced few
words, concluding the 2001
Rule “was driven by political
haste and evidenced pro
forma
compliance
with”
environmental laws, using
descriptors such as “flagrant”
and “cavalier” in characterizing
the “unequivocal” violations.
Brian
Hawthorne,
BRC’s
Public Lands Policy Director,
said, “With millions of acres of
National Forests susceptible to
disease and wildfire, it should
be evident that a top-down,
one-size-fits-all management
program should never be the
answer. Each roadless area is
unique, and local conditions
should
be
taken
into
consideration when actively
managing these lands.”
involvement in the Roadless
issue,” said Greg Mumm,
Executive Director of BRC.
“Force-feeding a ‘hands-off’
policy to manage Roadless
Areas, like congressionally
designated
Wilderness,
has been a goal of the
preservationist groups for
some time. BRC is proud to
have protected recreational
access to these lands and we
are committed to continue this
important effort.”
Noting the U.S. Forest Service
will be revising the regulations
for preparing Forest Plans,
Paul Turcke, the attorney
for the recreational groups,
observed in their brief that
“our Nation’s treasured forest
lands must be actively and
effectively managed. Such
management
necessitates
detailed, site-by-site analysis;
not
politically
convenient
templates.
That improper
procedural means advance
an agenda of less rather than
more active human presence
is of little legal import. This
Court should seize the
opportunity to place the 2001
Roadless Rule alongside the
