We have been able to keep the admission low at $13 per person when you are an AANR/TNS member or $15 per person if you are not. These prices are valid when pre-registering prior to Wednesday March 2 after that door charges apply which are $5 higher than the pre-registration prices.

*Final Call for Comment on Bagby Hot Springs Management Proposal:* ** *Monday, February 14 is the deadline for comments on the preliminary assessment of getting a private contractor to manage 27 Mount Hood National Forest sites as well as Bagby Hot Springs. The decision regarding whether Bagby Hot Springs will be under a concessionaire permit and included with the 27 campgrounds, or a volunteer group permit, or Forest Service management will be made on factors including public comments received. The decision will be made quickly, by March or April, but the Forest Service will continue management through 2011 and may possibly include Bagby with the 27 campgrounds in 2012. * * * *Concerning the private/public management decision, AANR-NW does not have a position. We do wish to address the General Order issued in 1992, banning nudity at the hot springs. Our position is that simple nudity in and around the hot tubs, absent any other type of illegal conduct, is a long-time historic tradition at Bagby Hot Springs and should be allowed. The Forest Service is adamant that they do not wish to cancel the Order issued in 1992, banning nudity at Bagby. That is because an alcohol ban and night closure of the site were also part of that Order. It was also stated that the cost involved in cancelling the order would be prohibitive. We believe that a simple amendment to the order, allowing nudity in the hot tubs and around the hot tub area would return to the spirit and intent of the historical hot springs usage. There is no anti-nudity ordinance/law in Clackamas county (where Bagby is situated) or in the state of Oregon. * * * *Should you wish to make a comment to the USFS, you may identify yourself as a nudist, an AANR member or as an “interested party.” Please write in clear language about why you desire to see Bagby Hot Springs as a clothes-optional recreation area. If you have been a user of the hot springs in the past, please relate your experiences using the site nude. If you were unaware in the past about the 1992 Order, please also state that information. At this late date, only FAX or e-mail contacts would work.* ** *Comments on the Preliminary Assessment should be addressed to Malcolm Hamilton at:

** Fax: (503) 668-1413 Email: ** **comments-pacificnorthwest-mthood@fs.fed.us*

Thank you for your outstanding service Last July AANR-NW presented its highest honor, the AANR-NW Hall of Fame Award, to Stan Ricks for his dedication and strong support to our government affairs and advocacy programs. In prior years this prestigious award has been presented to Mike Parker and Shirley Gauthier, to name a few, for their outstanding service to our region.

Many of you know someone deserving of this award. All too often we say to ourselves that we should have nominated someone after the award is announced at the AANR-NW convention or, worse yet, goes un-awarded for lack of a nomination. The nomination process is easy. This year take the time to recognize a deserving volunteer by submitting a nomination. It is a great big THANK YOU that comes from their peers. Help AANR NW reward our outstanding volunteers.

To be eligible, an individual must have continuous membership in a club or AANR for at least ten years, with a minimum of five years in AANR NW/NWNA. An individual member, a group of members or a club can make nominations for the Hall of Fame.

The deadline for submissions is 15 March 2011. This award is presented at the AANR Northwest Convention, 15-17 July 2011, at Sun Meadow. The AANR NW Hall of Fame Award is given only for service of a magnitude above average to AANR, AANR NW and nudism.

The nomination form is available on the AANR-NW website, aanr-nw.org, under “Forms” on the right of the home page or contact patbrown@aanr.com. Please send nominations to Pat Brown, AANR NW Hall of Fame Committee Chair, POB 937, Marcola, OR 97454.

Pat Brown Chairman AANR Northwest Hall of Fame Committee
