Ashley National Forest Supervisor James Craig has announced that the Forest has started working on a land and resource comprehensive management plan, or Forest Plan. This plan is being developed in compliance with the National Forest Management Act of 1976. It will consider all National Forest lands administered by the Ashley, including those Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area lands that lie in Wyoming. This plan will establish the management direction for the Fewest for the next ten years and will carefully consider public opinion about how the forest should be managed. One of the initial steps in which public participation is needed is the determination of significant problems thst should be addressed through this planning effort. These problems are identified as issues in the National Forest Management Act. A significant change from past planning efforts pertains to appeal rights and procedures. Anyone who might wish to appeal the fewest plan must have participated in the planning process. Appeal rights are limited to those issues in which participation had taken place. Following is a summary of preliminary issues identified by the Fewest few public consideration and comment: Transportation System Management: The forest contains many roads, trails, and travel ways. Road closures, access to National Fewest land, and of the transportion development system have been addressed by different interest groups with varying obiectives few Fewest roads and trails. Maintenance erf Stream Flow Levels: Demands few water from the Forest can result in projects that alter stream flow conditions. These development projects have or will change the level of flow in the channels. Conflicts have arisen between off forest and resourcehabitat needs. Land Ownership Adjustment: Local concern over the amount of Federal land ownership is expressed in respect to land acquisition. This issue is generated by some public opposition to any Federal acquisition while others see inholdings as a barrier to use of public lands and feel the need to control incompatible development. Dispersed Recreation Management: Increased use of dispersed recreation areas has resulted in changes in management. People accustomed to using undeveloped forest areas frequently object to these changes in management, especially if they are restrictive. Vehicle Restrictions: The number of ORWs and their use is increasing on public land. Effects on vegetation, soilwater relationships, and wildlife use patterns are a concern to land managers and portions of the public. Some ORV users feel there are not enough acceptable places and would like additional areas for their use. Off-Roa- d Phone News Items 722-513- 1 Fuel Wood Management: Because oi increasing costs of energy, the demand for firewood to supplement traditional heating is increasing. Accessibility, conflicts with fuel reduction projects, snag management objectives and administrative restrictions are the basis of this issue. Wildlife and Livestock Competition for Forage: The use of forage by livestock and wildlife has resulted in a perceived conflict between big game numbers and forest management of livestock. The concern over competition for forage is centered around forage allocations, grazing systems and range improvement projects. Fire Management Poliey: There is public concern over Forest Service fire management. Some people feel that all fires should be fought aggressively while others see fire as a natural occurence and useful tool in some instances. Water Quality: The water that originates on National Forest land is used extensively for irrigation and domestic use. Since management of other forest resources often affects water quality and quantity, there is public concern that management activities will or have caused declines. Timber Harvest: National timber demand projections indicate a continued rising trend that will require increases in timber outputs if future demands arc to be met. Along with timber harvest levels, there are conflicting public values associated with various forest uses. Comments on the above issues will be welcomed and should be received at the Forest Supervisor's office by Feb. 23. Public meetings to discuss the issues will be scheduled.

If the Wage and Tax Statements are not issued on time, employers may be penalizing employees who win have to wait until February or later to file their tax returns, possibly missing out on the faster refunds available to early filers.

A brisk walk for a short period several times during the day will assure adequate circulation and the spin-of- f fitness benefits are obvious. When possible, walk barefoot around the house and wear shoes that allow the feet to be exercised as you walk. Heat is bad for varicose veins because it relaxes muscles and hinders blood flow, so avoid sun bathing and hot baths. A cold shower morning and night with spray on the legs will increase blood flow in the calves by as much as 25 percent, so keep cool, step lively, and be a person on the move. Another reason to file your tax return early Who would let $5 million slip through their hands? Utah taxpayers who wait until the last moment to file their Federal income taxes, thats who. The figure would be even higher if it included last minute state income tax filers. According to the Internal Revenue Service, some 261,000 taxpayers in Utah who were due refunds totaling nearly $188 million last year, didn't file until after March 1. They then had to wait eight to ten weeks for their refund because of the large volume of tax returns coming ia-e- that time. As a result, few of these received their refund before the end of May, and those who filed around April 15 probably did not receive their refund until late June. Had they filed early and deposited their refunds in a bank savings account paying 5.24 percent interest, compounded daily, the amount of interest in six months would have t Employers must provide wage and tax statements by Feb. 2 Varicose Veins with a varicose Many people condition die when blood clots in the legs migrate to the lungs. The solution is to keep blood been $4,949,977, or almost $5 million. Of course, not everyone who has a refund coming can file in January, but the IRS does urge everyone to file as early as possible- - but not before they have their earnings statements. Or, as refunds averaged $714.22 for the period March 1 through April 15, a better idea might be for taxpayers to adjust their tax withholding. If done just right they should end the year not owing the government additional tax, nor with the government owing them. That way they 'would have the ttse'of theiri mohry- - during the year instead of 'St the end. Persons paid would have an average of $27.47 more in each of their checks. This year the Ogden IRS Center expects to receive 10.3 million tax returns. They also estimate that 83 percent of these returns will have refunds due, and that of these, 60 percent will again wait until after March 1 to file. National Forest payment to counties increases Ashley National Forest Supervisor Jim Craig announced today that payments in excess of $150,000 have been made to local counties by the U.S. Forest Service. These monies Happy People Make Happy Customers !

They have been allocated based on National Forest acreage within the counties as follows: Daggett, 258,938 acres and a payment of $28,284.93. Duchesne, 698,611 acres and a payment of $76,312.31. arres with a 270,430 Uintah, payment of $29,540.24. This years- payments represent a signifirant increase over last year's receipts. Timber purchaser road credit and increased timber sale activities account for most of the increase," Craig noted.

If used, it speeds the processing of Federal tax returns which, in turn, means quicker refunde and saves taxpayers money. When a return is received at the Ogden Service Center - as some 10.5 million will be this year - they wind up in the hands of data transcribers who enter the taxpayer's name, address and social security number into the computer. Without the label, the information has to be verified, then entered into the computer and can take 97 label on keystrokes. With the peel-of- f the return, the process is cut to 13 keystrokes. That adds up to a considerable, amount of time and money lost when multiplied by nearly 11 million returns. Last year, the extra steps required to process returns cost taxpayers more than a dollars in additional expenses. The extra keystrokes also increase the possibility of errors.
