Cher Bower

Howdy, howdy, howdy,

Congratulations to our newly elected officers. I know that we will make a good team. Our planning meeting in October went very well and I am looking forward to some nice rides, campouts and work parties. We need to add that word FUN to the work part. I know we all have been busy this year just taking care of LIFE! Now is the season to relax and have

some fun with family and friends. Hopefully all of your winter work is done and you can move forward with the fun!

Our “Fun in the Sun” was put on hold for a while. Steve had the flu for about 2 weeks and is still a little down. I was unlucky enough to catch it, but I was sick for 5 days. The boys have nice new shoes and are ready to go. We missed the first ride here due to the flu. We will probably go out back in the desert next week. Our goal is to ride at least once a week, so hopefully----.

The BCH AZ Christmas party is Dec. 3rd and it will be fun to see all of our AZ friends. I hope the Okanogan party will be well attended and that you all have lots of good food and FUN! Have a great Christmas and New Year. Come on down and join us for some “Fun in the Sun”.

Take care,

Cher

thanked the wine ride volunteer organizers and the Directors applauded. She also thanked Darrell for great

grant work.

Ways & Means - Teri Starke

Volunteers are needed for Rendezvous. Rendezvous Auction - Missy Day reported. Items are needed. Ren-

dezvous Come Ride Our Part of the State - Missy Day explained and invited people to participate.

Northwest Horse Source - Louise Caywood, Pierce County, moved to continue for another year. Second. Mo-

reminded to update the on-line Directory every time an officer change happens as soon as possible.

BCHA - Darrell Wallace and Jason Ridlon

Report was posted. Your Membership (YM) software is now attached to BCHA website. 2018 National

Board Meeting will be in eastern Washington State. BCHA business card was explained. $5/month club cards

were distributed.

BCHW Store - Lori Lennox

Lori asked Directors to buy merchandise. She also mentioned two new stickers for packer volunteers available

for vehicles. Kathy Young suggested individuals encourage people they meet to donate to BCHW.

Volunteer Hours - Deb Wesselius

Report will be posted in the Traihead News. There will be no major changes. There were 86,400 hours report-

ed which is up 12,000 hours since last year. Hours had a value over $3 million. Directors applauded Deb Wes-

selius for a job well done.

Legislative - Jeff Chapman

Report was posted. Jeff outlined some of his report and responded to questions. Last payment to lobbyists

Gjurassic and Kohl will be in January, but we are not using them for 2017. Juelie Dalzell, Buckhorn Range,

moved that BCHW pass the BCHW Resolution presented opposing Senate Bill 3205 as the bill is currently

written also known as the human-powered travel in wilderness areas act. Second. Resolution passed.

Public Lands - Bernie Stratton

Bernie Stratton, Lewis County, moved that the BCHW board refer the specifics pertaining to a proposed MRA

for use of power saws to clear specific trails within a specific timeframe in the Pasayten Wilderness, to the Ex-

ecutive Committee for final disposition. Second. Motion carried.

Bernie Stratton, Lewis County, moved to adopt the Resolution pertaining to the Colville Draft EIS. Whereas,

the USFS has demonstrated on many occasions that they are either unable or unwilling to maintain wilderness

trails up to their own standards; and whereas, all the proposals contained in the Forest Plan Revision Draft

EIS contain at least some additional wilderness designations. Then therefore, be it resolved that the BCHW

does not fully support any of the proposals; and therefore, be it further

resolved that the BCHW would entertain supporting designations, other than that of wilderness, if those desig-

nations allowed mechanized equipment be used for trail maintenance. Second. Motion carried with one op-

posed.

Bernie Stratton, Lewis County, moved that BCHW Board of Directors authorize President Young or her de-

signee to restate the points of the BCHW letter of March 18, 2013 concerning Pack and Saddle Stock Outfitter-

Guide Special Use Permit Issuance with updated dates and addresses and forward it to the USFS as the offi-

cial BCHW comment on the DEIS. Second. Motion carried.

MORNING BREAK

DNR Recreation - Glenn Glover, DNR

Glenn Glover was introduced by President Kathy Young. He is the acting Recreation and Trails Manager for

the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR). He is also the outgoing President of the Washing-

ton Trail Coalition (WTC) which was formed in 1999. He announced that the Board of WTC needs an eques-

trian representative. Glenn talked about recreation on DNR lands, management, and trail standards. There are

1,100 miles of authorized trail and an estimate of 11 million recreation visits to DNR land annually. He also

outlined recreation planning efforts which will kick off in January. Finally he proposed that BCHW think

about taking a position on equestrian use in working forests realizing that equestrian use is secondary to reve-

nue creating timber sales. Glenn responded to questions.

LNT - Jane Byram

LNT classes are planned for 2017 sponsored by Ponderosa Chapter, 2018 Tri Cities, 2019 Randle, and 2020

Les Hilde. LNT committee would like to see all members attend a training at some point. The committee

needs to ask the Board for a supplement to their budget by at least $2,000 since there is no grant this year.

The LNT computer needs replacement.

501 C Commons - Craig Lewis

Membership recommendations were reviewed from the suggestions he previously presented to the Board. On-

ly 20% of the task list was completed. The September 14, 2016 recruitment suggestions document was re-

viewed and discussed. Social media is key. Craig left the Directors with a list of must do’s: create a “what’s

in it for me” list, decide who are you serving, have a newsletter, get electronic email addresses from all, get

partners (tack store discounts, etc. for joining BCHW), send invites to events (email, radio, TV), get member-

ship ID cards, get decals, and get business cards. Craig will be at Leadership Training.

Awards - Lynn Wilhelm-Howell

Lynn’s report was posted and she was not present.

Safety - Doc Wesselius

November Trail Boss Report

The weather’s been great here, but rain today. All of our friends here are good.

I’ve been looking at a tiny one-man bulldozer called a Magnetrac with about a 30” blade. Interesting!

Y’all come down because we have free room and stables.

If you aren’t used to work parties, please pick one to work for next year. Check the schedule that will be com-ing out soon. Campouts at the work parties and rides add to the fun. The way our help is doing, any big job should be not far from a trailhead. Even young men are lucky to cut out 2 miles a day in the wilderness.

Let’s set up a mass multiple congressional insurgent messages to use chain saws in USFS Region 6 Wilder-ness, as some other regions simply allow. Corresponding copies should go to USFS Region 6 headquarters in Portland, Oregon and President Obama and then Donald Trump. The wording/message should be changed every month-all winter and all spring. We need answers to our questions and demands. Let’s take a shotgun approach. BCHW ? BCHA? Let’s get more facts. I will ask someone to get this started.

Enough!

Steve

The final amount of funding for the next round of ALEA grants is subject to approval by the state Legislature during the 2017 legislative session.

Five major types of projects are funded through the program, although other project types may be considered. Project types include habitat restoration, scientific research/citizen science, public education and outreach, facility development and artificial fish production.
