OHV (Continued from page 23) ABI479 which would exem p t peace o££icers from wearing helmets when operating ATVs. Current law in Cal ifornia requires everyo ne to wear a helmet wh en riding a n ATV. A con tro versy o ver how th e state training orga nizatio n license could be obt a ined was th e over-riding theme of th e safety grant awards. The Fou nda tio n for Of f-R oad Vehicle Safety (FO R VS) will receive $100,000 for developing th e instructor criteria a nd $15,000 for a sno wmobile pr o- . gram. The Motorcycle OHV Safety Association won $79,000 for pr oduction of a video to go along with th e mandatory under-I S training and $20,000 for an OHV motorcycl e program. The commission recommen da tion will now go back to the director for his approval. In public comment, J err y Counts responded to th e seco nd quarter rep ort from th e ra ngers at Anza Borrego. Co unts sai d, " T he ranger . wh o produced this should be fired ! H e wa lks in to a backpacker camp and asks them what they think of th e park no w that O H Vs are banned. Real scientific! Why didn 't he go to th e O H V area and ask them? Even h is own statistics show no decrease in OHV citations during the last four years, during two of which OHVs were banned. Wha t this shows is the law abiding riders are staying out and the same law breakers we had five years ago are still using the park." The division's new soil and plant biologist, Roy Woodward, briefed the commission on SB877 rega rding OHV soil loss standards. Wh en th e OHV program was up for renewal two years ago, ' the Si erra Club m an aged to ge t some sign ifica n t changes chap tered into law, the most co ntrove rsia l bein g th e so il loss sta ndard. All federal grant recipients and State Veh icu lar Recreation Areas must close down all areas that can't be rehab ilitated to their natural condi tio n whe n OHV use ceases. Confused? You're not alone! At its extreme th e soil loss sta ndards could close all OHV areas of significant grade angle, lik e Hungry Valley 's hillclimbs. Woodward exp lai ne d that he wanted to develop a soi l loss standa rd that wo uld "be a pproved by an soi l, scientist." CORVA's Steve Kuehl voiced concern over th e "closure versus ma nagement" issue. If no t wa tched closely, this sta ndard will put the bra kes on our whole p rogram. Co u ld this be what the Sierra Club pl anned? T he club is already worki ng with OHV staff to set up th e standard. Kind of like getting the fox to wa tch the hen house! The commission voted to fund the Depart ment of Fish and Game and the BLM over one-half million dollars to help preserve the desert tortoise. The last item on th e agenda was the election of officers. Beca use Commissioners Waldhei m and Morris are servi ng even tho ugh their terms have expired, Wa ldheim made a mo tion to postpone the election until the spots were filled. In a surprise move, the motion fai led. A further surprise came wh en Sierra Club rep resentat ives McGuigan and .Su tton nom inat ed Betty Morris for vice chair and John Motley for chairman. The votes were counted and they were elected. A stunned observer said, " Chapp ie (Chairman Gene Chappie) was great. They just elected a commissioner with an expired term for vice chair and the least productive m ember as chairm an." • Ticket Price FREE! $30- $40 LIMITED EDITION COMMEMORATIVE HAT WITH THE I st 25 TICKETS SOLD AT EACH DEALERSHIP YAMA H A PREMIUMS A VAILABL E EXCL USIVEL Y A T THESE DEALERSHIPS Daly City A lhamb,a Oi ly City '"...... 6232 M ission St. Daly City, CA 94015 4 151758-8590 AI......... , ....... 1850 West Valley Blvd. , Alha mbra.
