The San Juan National Forest has released a Recreation Facility Analysis that describes the vision for the overall recreation program and outlines proposals specific to individual developed recreation sites.

“The goal is to make sure our facilities are environmentally sustainable, provide support to and are supported by local communities, and offer a fiscally responsible cost-benefit ratio for management,” said David Baker, San Juan National Forest recreation lead.

The San Juan National Forest operates an extensive developed recreation program, currently operating 40 developed campgrounds, five dispersed camping areas, 12 day-use areas, seven boat ramps, five visitor centers, eight scenic overlooks, three fire lookout towers/cabins, and 46 trailheads. The analysis calls for the majority of these sites to be maintained into the future, however, services at others will undergo changes.

“Many of the San Juan’s developed recreation facilities were built 30 to 50 years ago and require significant deferred maintenance to remain safe and operable,” Baker said. “Other facilities receive no or little use, and no longer serve their original purpose.”

The analysis calls for many upgrades to help bring camping facilities up to date and encourage occupancy by improving campsites, electrical hookups, toilets, water systems, signing, and parking. Cost-saving measures include using partnerships and volunteers to help maintain trailheads and boat ramps.

The major change proposed for the Pagosa Springs Ranger District is to permanently close the Wolf Creek Campground, which has been temporarily closed due to diseased falling trees and flooding. The nearby West Fork Campground will remain open.

The Dolores Ranger District will continue to offer fishing access at the Dolores Fishermen’s Access Area adjacent to the Dolores Cemetery but will not replace the chronically vandalized toilet. The Sage Hen Fishermen’s Access Area will remain open for day-use only. Below the dam, Metaska Picnic Area will continue to offer vehicle access to the river but will not be operated as a formal recreation site.

Some of the changes proposed for the Columbine Ranger District include closing the East Lime Creek Rest Area on U.S. Highway 550 across from the Andrews Lake Recreation Area. In La Plata Canyon, three dispersed camping sites would be closed due to problems with resource damage, vandalism, sanitation, and trespassing on adjacent private lands. Two other dispersed sites would be upgraded. Kroeger and Snowslide campgrounds would also see improvements.

The analysis may be viewed online at www.fs.fed.us/r2/sanjuan/recreation/facility.

The Pagosa District will conduct a prescribed burn in the Piedra Area, beginning today.

The burn unit is 2,200 acres in size and is located between Davis Creek on the east, First Fork and Piedra River to the south, and Coldwater Creek on the west. Snows upslope in wetter forest types will border the burn area to the north. The location is roughly 18 miles northwest of Pagosa Springs. Observers will probably not notice what could be considerable smoke until the burn is well underway, due to the remote location of the activity.

The burn units in the Piedra Area are in a remote location on the north side of the Piedra River between the First Fork and Davis Creek. The Piedra Area was designated by congress as an area to be managed to retain its wilderness conditions. Motorized and mechanized forms of transportation are not permitted within the area.

Located far from roads and on steep terrain, the units will be ignited by fire managers using plastic sphere devices (PSD) dropped from a helicopter. This method of ignition reduces exposure of firefighters to injuries that occur when working in steep slopes and remote areas and readily ignites fine fuels such as pine needles, leaf litter, and dead grasses. Under the conditions fire managers seek, the method provides a mosaic burn. Helicopters will also be used to monitor the burn area.

For public safety, closures to trails, river boating and areas will occur during and after the burn period.

The Piedra River Trail (No. 596) and the area it accesses will be closed to entry between the trailhead at First Fork and the junction with the Sand Creek Trail. The temporary closure will begin on the day of the burn and may continue for two weeks or more.

The Piedra River will be closed to any boating during the actual burning operations which will last two to five days. Signs will be posted at the Upper Piedra Trailhead and boat put-in. The First Fork Road (No. 622) is currently closed at Sheep Creek/Monument Park Road West due to the condition of the road.

Call the Pagosa Public Lands office of the San Juan Public Lands at 264-2268 to receive updates on the status of the Piedra Burn and entry closures. A recording regarding the status of the burn and associated closures will be available at that number after hours and on weekends.

Adjournment.

Assistant Town Manager Tamra Allen accepted the interim town manager position Wednesday, following an executive session of town council.

Although Allen has been filling the town manager position in an unofficial capacity, the agreement made between council and Allen on Wednesday solidifies Allen’s position — at least for several months.

Allen had been filling three roles for the town since the April 21 resignation of former Town Manager Mark Garcia: planning director, assistant town manager and de facto town manager.

The basic agreement with the town is that Allen will serve as town manager for a period of up to six months while council conducts an executive search to permanently fill the town manager position. Should the town require more than six months, the town has reserved the option that Allen could serve as interim town manager beyond the time stipulated in the agreement. However, any term longer than six months could be subject to renegotiations between Allen and the town.

After the town permanently fills the town manager position, Allen will return to her position as assistant town manager.

Currently, there are no plans for filling Allen’s previous position of planning director. When asked what the town was considering to those ends, Allen said, “As town manager I will continue to have oversight of the planning department.”

Allen said Assistant Planner Joe Nigg will carry many of the duties as well. Instead of hiring for the planning director position, Allen said the town may hire a contract planner or temporary planner.

The Great Southwest Council of the Boy Scouts of America is currently conducting a search for all Eagle Scouts.

The council is in the process of forming a chapter of the National Eagle Scout Association (NESA). The chapter will consist of Eagle Scouts over the age of 21, who are interested in supporting the Boy Scout movement locally. Eagle Scouts include men from all backgrounds, interests and professions.

 To earn the esteemed Eagle Scout rank, the highest advancement rank in Scouting, a Boy Scout must fulfill requirements in the areas of leadership, service and outdoor skills. Not every boy who joins a Boy Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 5 percent of all Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1.7 million Boy Scouts who have earned the rank since 1912.

 Upon conferral of this celebrated rank, young men everywhere pledge to give continued leadership and service to the Scouting movement.

 “It is important for Eagle Scouts to remember — ‘Once an Eagle Scout, Always an Eagle Scout,’” said Bruce Anderson, NESA Chapter organizer.  “These men know as well as anyone that communities benefit greatly from the ideals that the Scouting movement instills in young men.”

 Founded in 1972, the National Eagle Scout Association’s objective is “to serve Eagle Scouts, and through them, the entire Scouting movement.”

 If you, or someone you know, are an Eagle Scout, contact Mary Pye, Southern Colorado Mesa Verde District Executive at (970) 749-8888 or marypye@bsamail.org for more information.

Fire managers at Pagosa Ranger District are planning to conduct several prescribed burns on National Forest and Bureau of Land Management Lands during the spring.

The goals of this treatment are to reintroduce the role of fire to fire-dependent ecosystems, to reduce ground fuels, prune lower branches of trees, provide for nutrient cycling, encourage biological diversity, and promote browse for wildlife and livestock.

Locations identified for burning include:

• Bureau of Land Management lands.

• Vigil and Abeyta Mesas, 25 miles south of Pagosa Springs.

• Forest Service lands.

• Burns Canyon area, nine miles southwest of Pagosa Springs.

• 225 acres in the Lower Middle Mountain area about twelve miles west of Pagosa Springs.

• The headwaters of Devil Creek in the Turkey Springs area seven miles northwest of downtown of Pagosa Springs.

• Within the Piedra Area near the end of First Fork Road, on the west side of the Piedra River, between Sand Creek and First Fork.

Each burn has a plan that describes conditions which must be met before ignition and during burning, including temperatures; moisture level of the grasses, needles, and trees; wind speed; and smoke dispersal. Spring and fall are generally the best times of year to burn when temperatures are more moderate and the fuels have enough moisture to keep the fire at a low intensity.

The goals of this treatment are to reintroduce the role of fire to this fire-dependent ecosystem, to reduce ground fuels, prune lower branches of trees, provide for nutrient cycling, and encourage biological diversity.

With the exception of the burn within the Piedra Area, these prescribed burns will be ignited and monitored by firefighters on the ground.

The burn units in the Piedra Area are in a remote location on the north side of the Piedra River between the First Fork and Davis Creek. Located far from roads and on steep terrain, the units will be ignited by fire managers using plastic sphere devices (PSD) dropped from a helicopter. This method of ignition reduces exposure of firefighters to injuries that occur when working in steep slopes and remote areas and readily ignites fine fuels such as pine needles, leaf litter and dead grasses. Under the conditions fire managers seek, the method provides a mosaic burn.

For public safety, the Piedra River Trail will be closed and the Piedra River will be closed to boating during the burning in the Piedra Area.

For additional information about the proposed burns or other fuels-reduction efforts, visit the local San Juan Public Lands office, Pagosa Ranger District, at 180 Pagosa St., or call 264-2268.

Next school year, Pagosa Springs Elementary School will offer half-day and full-day kindergarten classes. There will be two half-day sessions and three full-day sessions, pending school board approval.

Because the district is only funded for half-day kindergarten by the state, one full-day session will be funded on a tuition basis. There are 30 slots available due to funding received from a Colorado Preschool/Kindergarten Program (CPKP) grant.

The CPKP provides full-day funding to those students who are eligible. At enrollment, each student’s family is asked to complete the CPKP Eligibility Checklist. Upon reviewing the checklists, those students with the most eligibility factors will be offered a full-day funded kindergarten slot.

The tuition based full-day price is $200 a month. There are 20 slots open. If there is higher demand, these slots will be by a lottery drawing.

The following information will help you decide what is best for you and your child.

Half-day kindergarten

• A half-day schedule can be a low stress way to ease your child into the school routine.

• A student may be away from home for the first time, and a half-day experience could be the best for your child.

• As a parent you may not be ready to send your child to school for a full day, preferring to spend extra time with him or her for one final year.

• A student may still need a nap or a later wake up time at this age. As you know, each child is unique.

Full-day kindergarten

• A full-day schedule allows for additional activities to enrich the variety and depth of our young children’s educational experience. There is more time to give individualized attention to students.

• A full-day schedule helps parents manage their day between family and work.

• Students have additional time to process the concepts being taught.

Kindergarten registration will begin April 23 and continue through May 30. Bring a copy of your child’s birth certificate, immunization records and his or her Social Security number. You will not be able to register your child without these items.

You may request full-day or half-day morning or afternoon at this time. Again, if there are more than 20 requested slots for tuition based full day, the slots will be filled by a lottery drawing. The morning and afternoon slots will be filled as students are registered. There will be waiting lists for any slots that are completely filled. Tuition for the full-day classes will be $200 a month; a $100 deposit is required at registration.
