Angie Marek
PNW4WDA
PRESIDENT
July 2015
Happy 4th of July to everyone. I have
you enjoyed a safe and event filled
holiday! July is a busy month within
and outside of the PNW4WDA. The
26th Annual Trail Jamboree is in
full swing and our thanks go out to
everyone who works so hard to put
on a great event. Next month we
will share some information from this
year’s run.
Welcome to our newest board
member Lolli Bunce, the new Region
8 Director. We are excited to be
growing and welcoming our new club
the Rocky Mountain Rebels 4x4 club
out of Idaho.
I want all of you to know how much
I appreciate everything you do to
promote motorized recreation. I will be
honest I don’t participate much in the
different forums but I do watch what
is being posted out there and when I
miss something important to the PNW
there are several people who keep me
up to date. Your board dedicates a lot
of time to the association so when I
read things like we don’t do anything
or don’t care I do tend to take it a little
personal. While I don’t participate
in the forums I do respond to every
email and phone call I get. There was
a recent post that was shared with
me stating the president has been in
office to long, the association doesn’t
do enough and so on. Keep in mind
nominations are open in September
with elections in February and are open
to all club members in good standing.
I 100% believe that this association is
one of the best in the nation and we
set the standard when it comes to
working with the different government
agencies and keeping trails open. I
have said many times that as much
as I would like everyone to belong to
the PNW4WDA as numbers make us
stronger, what is more important is that
we work together to maintain the trails,
etc. Elbe is a prime example of the
great work motorized recreationalists
do. PNW members as well as non
members are the backbone of that
trail system. Other trails are the
same, without everyone working
together we lose! I invite all of you,
delegates, members and interested
non-members to attend your local
meetings and Fall Delegates Meeting
in September. Get involved, be part
of making a difference. The other
thing I saw was a couple of people
talking about other events and saying
that because of a personal issue you
shouldn’t support that event. All I have
to say is GROW UP…. You don’t
often find me going down the negative
road but I felt it was time to bring to
light you are only hurting the sport you
4
claim to love.
The PNW4WDA is proud to be founding
members of WOHVA and continue to
support the efforts. By working with
all the user groups we have a better
understanding of what is needed to help
all the members. PNW members have
also held offices in many of the other
organizations such as Blue Ribbon,
it’s these members who keep us up to
date on changes and areas of interest
to 4 wheeling. So when you say the
PNW isn’t doing anything or is stagnant
please come to a meeting and see what
is really going on. If the members and
your board did become stagnant you
would not have any place to play. I ask
you to be part of the solution, come to us
with your concerns but also with possible
ways to address those concerns.
Go off-road with conﬁdence with durable,
reliable performance products from
Warn Industries. The trusted brand
for over 60 years.
On another note, Dan & I had the
privilege of being invited to attend
Rainier High Schools senior awards
and presenting Morgan Spivey with her
scholarship. Congratulations to all of
our graduates and future leaders.
Thank you to those clubs and individuals
who are submitting articles and pictures
to Tri-Power. I love reading about all you
are doing.
I hope all of you have a wonderful
summer!
Happy 4 Wheeling,
Angie Marek

Angela Holm
Region 1 Director
June 17th, 2015
The meeting was called to order by
Angie Holm at 7:00pm. There were
7 delegates present, representing 4
clubs.
Guests: No guests.
Correspondence:
Angie received
an email from Jacob Haire of Haire
Industries regarding Trail Connect
Off-Road GPS App. Seems to be
legitimate and several emails have
gone to multiple clubs. Worth checking
out as it’s free. You can find it at the
ITunes Store.
Secretary Report: Theresa Taylor,
Outdoor 4x4’s, made a motion to accept
the minutes as written in Tri-Power and
distributed to Yahoo Groups, second
by Dave Taylor, Outdoor 4x4’s, passed
with no objection.
Directors Report: June BOD meeting
was held via telephone conference.
Most board members attended and
had prepared reports. There is a
now a Region 8 Director (Idaho),
Lollie Bunce. She and a few others
formed a club in Idaho called Rocky
Mountain Rebels. Unanimous BOD
vote appointed Lollie as the new
Region 8 Director. It was also reported
that the insurance certificates for July
and August have been mailed. If you
have not received your certificate for
your event and it’s being held in July
or August, contact Carol Jensen. For
those that are not aware, the Barrel
Extravaganza has been cancelled. Fall
Delegates meeting has been moved
to Washougal, WA. More information
will follow. Winter Convention
2016 has been set for Bend, OR.
More information will follow. More
discussion on the Club Power/We
Did It forms from Region 3 Director
Marty Tilford. He has indicated that his
region would like a simpler version of
the forms and a ‘real world example of
how they are used’. It was explained
that they are kept until they are needed
to dispute the hours, if necessary, that
the DNR or Forest Service claims we
have worked. The forms have also
been merged into one form. Rich Holm,
the webmaster, had merged them a
few months ago to make it easier to
complete, these forms are located on
the website under Forms. President
Angie is still looking for a PR person on
the BOD. If you are interested, please
contact her directly. Trail Jamboree
is coming up in July. Camping will be
changed a bit from the past years, just
to give other people a chance to camp
in areas that are usually ‘held’ by other
participants. Next year one person for
the host group on a trail must have a
First Aid CPR card.
Treasurer’s Report: There was a
written report.

Land & Legislative:

maintenance going on, the motorcycle
and quad group has moved around
8,000 pounds of new gravel. E&E
project hours will only count toward
your discounted Discovery Pass if you
are Forest Watch certified. DNR wide
grants not filled and we could lose our

BOARD TELECONFERENCE
June 3, 2015
President Angie Marek (Spanaway Moonshiners) called the meeting to order at 7:03 PM; she asked that you remember to state your name when
speaking so we know who is talking. President Angie said that she hoped everyone had read the reports that had been e-mailed because the
purpose of this meeting is to just go over any new items that were not on the written reports.
ROLL CALL: The following had signed in on the call: Parliamentarian Luke May (Dirty 13 & Outdoor 4X4’s); President Angie Marek (Spanaway
Moonshiners); Secretary Sande Nettnin (Desert Rats); Treasurer Dave McMains (Hurtin’ Units & Columbia Basin Sand Commandos); Oregon
Executive Director Dan Haak (Harney County High Desert Wheelers); Washington Executive Director Adrian Valliere (The Hombres); IAD #2 &
Insurance Carol Jensen (Sand Fleas & PNW Individual Members Club); Region 1 Director Angela Holm (Happy Campers); Region 2 Director Dan
Morris (County Line Off Road); Region 3 Director Marty Tilford (Vancouver 4-Wheelers); Region 4 Director Earl Nettnin (Desert Rats); Region 6
Director Ann Haak (Harney County High Desert Wheelers); Region 7 Director Mique Kardell (Spokane 4-Wheelers); Safety Education Rob Stafford
(Overbored Racing & Cascade 4X4’s); Web Master Rich Holm (Happy Campers); Trail Jamboree Chairman Ed Weber (Cascade 4X4’s); We Did It
Club Power Kathy Greenwood (Offroad Animals).
NOT SIGNED IN: Membership Kristin Smith (Mud-a-Rama, Sand Fleas, Flat Broke & 4-Wheelin’ & Hubs in-4-Wheelers); Ways & Means (Kathy
(Frogg) McMains (Hurtin’ Units & Columbia Basin Sand Commandos); Competition Chairman Steve Zentner (Push & Pulls); Tri-Power Editor Ron
McDonald (Clark County 4-Wheelers) and IAD #1 & Video Chairman Don Jensen (Sand Fleas & PNW Individual Members Club) was going to sign
in late.
GUESTS: Diana Stafford (Overbored Racing & Cascade 4X4’s); Grace May (Dirty 13 & Outdoor 4x4’s); Dan Marek (Spanaway Moonshiners) and
Lolli Bunce (Rocky Mountain Rebels) from Idaho. Lolli has expressed an interest in becoming our Region 8 Director. Dan Haak made a motion
seconded by Earl Nettnin that the board support President Angie’s appointment of Lolli Bunce as Region 8 Director; motion carried unanimously.
Earl Nettnin made a motion seconded by Dave McMains to accept the Board minutes from March 7, 2015; motion carried.
TREASURER: Dave McMains had a written report. Dave said things are going pretty well. We have had some requests for refunds for Trail
Jamboree cancellations; however we have been able to pick up some from the Trail Jamboree’s wait list. Dave said Frogg is going to be putting in
an order for Ways & Means. Dave said Randy & Mona Drake had asked for 300 bags for Creek & Trail for Father’s Day weekend and they didn’t
have that many. Dave asked former PR Chairman Diana Stafford if she still had any and she thought she did and will send them to the Drakes.
Dave asked if there were any questions on his report. Carol Jensen asked where on the report it showed the Associate members. Dave said they
were included under the Membership Dues and Fees and he did not break it down. Dave said he would e-mail Carol what the Associate Member
dues was running this year. Carol wanted to be sure that all of them listed in Tri-Power had paid. Kristin Smith was also checking on this. Ann Haak
made a motion seconded by Carol Jensen to accept the Treasurer’s Report as printed; motion carried.
Other Money Matters: Dave asked what we were doing with the Daffodil Storage Unit. Jim Putman (The Hombres) told Dave everything was gone
except a few boxes of paper work. President Angie said she would have Jim bring it to Dan Marek’s Insurance Office and it would be gone through
to see just how much of it we needed to save. This is a bill we would like to dispense with as soon as possible. Jim Putman reminded Dave
that he needs a generic donation letter for Trail Jamboree and the Region 2 Fun Run. President Angie has tried to send it to him twice but was
unsuccessful; she will try sending again.
MEMBERSHIP REPORT - Kristin Smith had a written report; she was not signed in to the call, her mother is very ill. Kristin had a question about
the 100% PNW rule for members. Several clubs have people who are listed as club members but not paid and she wanted to know if she could
move them into the inactive file - answer yes we had discussed that before don’t remove them in case they come back, but put them in her inactive
file. Marty Tilford asked the question what can we do to get more members. Carol Jensen said If we knew we could solve every organization’s
membership problems. Kristin is working with Vieth, sometimes actual numbers of what our membership is doesn’t agree with Vieth’s system. Carol
asked what contacts meant and Honorary members listed didn’t match what was listed. The report showed 36 honorary members only 2 were listed
1 in Region 2 and 1 in Region 4. Honorary members are all the ones that have been voted in plus all the past presidents. Contacts are (FS) Forest
Service, (BLM) Bureau of Land Management, (DNR) Department of Natural Resources, businesses etc that receive Tri-Power. Marty Tilford didn’t
have any questions on the report, he said in the past we had given small decals to every member when they paid their dues and he was wondering
if we could do that again. Discussion followed and this will be brought up at Fall Delegates asking the delegates if this was something they wanted
to do. Carol Jensen was still confused as to how the contacts were listed. We will have to ask Kristin how this worked.
SECRETARY Sande Nettnin had a written report. She asked Rich Holm if he had made the changes in the SOP’s to the Membership Guidelines
that were passed at the March Board meeting. Rich is working on it; it will be done soon.
STATE DIRECTOR’S REPORTS
IDAHO - President Angie asked Lolli Bunce if she would like to share what’s been going on in Idaho. Lolli was just appointed today as Region 8
Director. Lolli shared that they were planning a fund raising event called Extreme Downhill Barbie Jeep Race August 22nd in Menden, Utah. A
flyer will be out soon. Lolli will send a digital copy of the flyer to Rich Holm and he will put it on the Web site; also Region Directors will get a copy
so they can help promote it. Lolli said she has been in contact with the FS and BLM. They will be assisting the Montpelier Ranger District with a
project. They have also joined the Utah 4-Wheel Drive Association. She said she has been in some sit down meetings with the Ranger Districts
in Utah; and they are looking at building some trails for the over 50 inch class. They said they realized that we needed some places to play on the
Utah side also. Lolli is very hopeful, she has had good response and is hopeful she can get some things going in Idaho.
OREGON - Director Dan Haak had a written report. Dan said the State meeting is set for January 16 at WARN Industries more information will
be coming. Dan said he and Ann would be at Trail Jamboree to help out anyway they can. Dan said there would be some races in Camas Valley;
Lakeview Tuff Truck Competition July 4 & 5 which they will attend. Dan also said that they are now official full time RVers and they would be in
Canada for the month of September.
WASHINGTON- Director Adrian Valliere had a written report. Adrian said all the Trail Counters have been delivered. Adrian said he still has 3 in his
possession. We also have an infra-red one that we are checking out. Adrian said at the Naches work party this past weekend we had 760 hours of
volunteer work turned in. Adrian shared some Legislative news; the gas tax will increase by 12 cents a gallon; Senate Bill 5987 & Senate Bill 5988
will take that over 3 Million dollars per Biennium of new gas tax money and allocated for ORV purposes. OHV bills we support are House Bill 1160
this would have increased the fines for dumping small quantities of liter on public land; however this didn’t go anywhere. House Bill 1918 would
have let you get a title for an ORV without the standard Vin number; didn’t pass. Senate Bill 5617 didn’t pass, it would have lifted the 23 cents a
gallon cap on ORV gas tax allocation. Senate Bill 5205 didn’t pass; this would have allowed spouses to pool their volunteer hours to get a free
Discover Pass. Cle Elum will be opening trails for WATV June 29th in the Table Mountain area around Liberty. It will be open to street legal side by

side vehicles that are licensed. Dave McMains said everything was pretty much opened on the Lion Rock side of the Liberty riding area; nothing on
the West side of 97 will be open. Very little in the Manastash will be open and Naches has not finalized anything yet. ORV tags work on trails not
roads. Earl said in Yakima County there are no ATV’s on County Roads licensed or not. President Angie said she had word from WOHVA (this is a
win) Mason County Superior Court upheld the position concerning the Discover Pass requirements as they relate to vehicles dual registered as both
ORV and street vehicles. DNR has indicated they may appeal and might be looking for funds to help support it.
IAD #1 & #2 - Don and Carol Jensen had a written report. They had nothing new to report. Carol did ask that we all read the paper called One
Voice that was attached to their report.
COMPETITION - Steve Zentner had a written report, but was not signed in to the call, he was attending Baccalaureate for his son. We had to
cancel the barrel race in Longview and we are looking at things for next year.
REGION DIRECTOR’S REPORTS
Region 1 Director Angela Holm had a written report. She had nothing new to report. Angela said the Northwest Offroad Expo was coming along,
they are getting sponsors and working with the Thomas Family Farms; they have 100 people already signed up to participate. They say everything
is on track.
Region 2 Director Dan Morris had a written report. He said he had forgotten to mention a couple things; one was the issue about the wording
for the Poker Run/ Fun Run event so that it would comply with the WA State Gambling regulations. The other thing was that they are looking at
updating/keeping/or revising their Region 2 Logo. Anyone having any ideas please contact Dan Morris.
Region 3 Director Marty Tilford had a written report. Marty said they were changing Fall Delegates from Astoria tentatively to the Best Western
Motel in Washougal, WA and the meeting place will be at the Fern Prairie Fire Station #91. The plan is to fast track the meeting and have a run to
the Yacolt Burn to run the trails and Region 3 would provide dinner on the trail. This way we could see the work Piston’s Wild has done and what
DNR has let them do. If this doesn’t work they will have a trail run Sunday morning. President Angie said she thought we could have the meeting
finished by 3 PM. More information will be coming as soon as it is finalized. This meeting is open to everyone.
Region 4 Director Earl Nettnin had a written report. He stated that the TWIG meeting and the Collaborative Group meetings had been cancelled.
Some of the Collaborative Group of people would like to see all motorized out of the forest. Folks we have an uphill fight on our hands. They are
doing their best to get roads closed. When the comment period comes, please write letters we don’t want our trails closed; the trails are in the Little
Naches water shed. The work party at Liberty went well; everything was open before Labor Day Weekend. The work party on the Naches Trail
went very well and we had 760 volunteer hours; Earl said they had not counted the people who stayed in camp and did the cooking and cleanup around camp. Kathy Greenwood also stated that the West side of the Naches trail has been fixed and we just need to get the A-OK from the
Forest Service. She said they had used bolts instead of nails or big spikes. Earl said they had used bolts on the work that was done on our side of
the trail too they were 5/8 bolts and about 16 inches long. Adrian Valliere asked when the comment period on the Little Naches Restoration comes
he would like to be notified; Earl will notify everyone. There will be no work done on the Little Crow Restoration until 2016.
Region 6 Director Ann Haak did not have a written report. She said they are working on Winter Convention February 12, 13 & 14, 2016 at the Bend
River House in Bend, Oregon . She said you will have a choice of a room with a river view or a room without the river view. They still have to sign
the contract. They have a race going on at Camas Valley put on by their newest club The Rev Limiters August 29 & 30 out of Roseburg, OR. July
4th High Country out of Lakeview is having a Tuff Truck Challenge at the Lakeview County Fair Grounds. They had a successful work party at
Christmas Valley Sand Dunes with 30 volunteers; the BLM thought it would take 3 hours to get all the fence put in and it took one hour. They ran
out of material. They were supposed to install the trail counters on the McGrew Trail for the Creek & Trail Run on Mother’s Day only Ann has had
trouble getting the right program on her computer and the tech people aren’t answering her e-mails or calls. Ann has an Apple computer and in the
paper work it says it should work with that. She said they are still having trouble getting the permit for Creek & Trail on time. Ground Hog Rock
Crawl is June 27th this is the 9th annual one. Earl suggested Ann talk with Ron Rutherford to see if he might be able to shed some light on things
with the counter. Adrian will do some checking too.
Region 7 Director Mique Kardell did not have a written report. She said she had nothing to report.
Region 8 Director Lolli Bunce said they have a web site it is www.rockymountainrebels. They also have a face book page.
APPOINTED POSITION’S REPORTS
Club Power/We Did It - Chairman Kathy Greenwood had a written report. Kathy said she has received several work party paper work activities and
they are all being filled out very well. Mr. Gary Harting had not missed dotting an I or crossing a T. She said it was filled out perfectly. She said it’s
been rough, but it will get better. Marty Tilford said he had sent an e-mail to the board about why we fill out these forms and just what does it get
us. He said his Region would like to see a real world example from start to finish on what these forms are used for. He asked why we can’t just
turn in a copy of the DNR or Forest Service forms. His other question was what can we do to make our forms easier to fill out. Discussion followed
and filling out these forms is our back up. Kathy said she is open to any suggestions so if you have ideas on how to make filling out the forms easier
write something up and send it to her and she will take a look at it.
PR this position is still open. If you know of someone who might be interested in doing this, please contact President Angie and she will follow up on
it.
Back to Region 3 - Marty Tilford said he forgot to mention that Jeep Jamboree USA is having an event in the Tillamook State Forest, in Oregon.
They have 100 rigs and they don’t have to donate any hours of volunteer work to the Forest Service. This event is booked up solid; they have a
permit and all they do is come up and run the trails and leave. Local clubs are required to donate a certain amount of volunteer hours back to the
forest to help off-set the trails they use; so Marty wanted some help writing a letter to them seeking a donation to the Tillamook State Forest trail
fund. President Angie will help with this.
Safety Education Director Rob Stafford did not have a written report. He said there has been no activity since his last report.
Trail Jamboree - Chairman Ed Weber had a written report. Ed said he was starting to reach panic mode! Ed said he was having some staging
issues, trailer parking and a few camping issues. Discussion followed on that and Ed said there would be no assigned camping spots this year. Ed
said we need to work on making people feel welcome. We still don’t know if we can use Copper City instead of the Clover Springs/Mud Springs if
the logging is on-going. We are still short one host group but it will be OK and we probably will have it covered since some of the trails only had a
few on them and one that no one sign up so probably we will be OK. We still need a sponsor for our Saturday night’s dinner. Discussion followed
and the PNW will step up and take care of the Saturday night dinner. Ed will contact Whistlin Jacks and see what they can do for us. Breast Cancer
benefit run needs to have t-shirts ordered. Raffle prizes are needed; chemical toilets have been ordered; the spill kits products have been ordered.
Ed said if anyone has concerns get a hold of him. Ed said he had received a bill from the Forest Service that had not been paid in 2013 so he
went ahead and paid it. Ed wants to have at least one First Aid kit on each run; he will send out a list as to what should be in it. Next year it will be

required for one person of the host group to have a First Aid CPR Card. The 50/50 raffle half will go to crawling for a cure. Marty Tilford asked if
Dave McMains had received the invoice for the spill kits. Dave said he had just found it and will pay it. Marty will pick them up and bring them to
Jamboree where they will be stuffed into packets.
Ways & Means - Kathy (Frogg) McMains is working on getting some trash bags. Marty Tilford had asked about contacting Trash-A-Rue and seeing
if we could put our PNW logo put on their trash bags and sell them. Frogg is looking into that. Marty also suggested plastic bags like they use
when they pick up garbage on the highway. Frogg will have t-shirts at Jamboree for sale too. If you have any ideas for her let her know. She is
open to looking at different items.
Web Master - Rich Holm is working on the Web site to have mobile devices available. He is working with Vieth on this and they have a package
available that will migrate everything to their new system that will enable it to be used with the Content Management. Cost of the package is $1200
and is up to 50 hours of their time to do re-writes and training. Discussion followed and Dan Morris made a motion seconded by Don Jensen that
we give approval to have Rich move forward with the mobile update; motion carried. Rich said he believed the BOD e-mail address is now working.
Tri-Power - Editor Ron McDonald was not signed in on the call and did not have a written report. President Angie asked if there was anything she
should pass on to Ron.
Video - Chairman Don Jensen had a written report. Don said we have three new Jeep Race DVD’s. They are ready to be checked out.
Insurance - Carol Jensen had a written report. Carol said the July and August certificates have gone out. Carol said our new club the Rocky
Mountain Rebels had applied for insurance for their event; however, our insurance company chose not to cover that type of event. So we hope
they will be able to find insurance elsewhere. Sande Nettnin asked if clubs had to be a member of the association for a year before they could get
insurance; Carol said we have been letting new clubs do that. Sande will check in the SOP’s and see what it says.
OLD BUSINESS
We already discussed Club Power/We Did It and the Trail Counters. Marty Tilford asked about the PNW Face Book again. Seems like there are at
least 3; one for Trail Jamboree and 2 for PNW. We need to get this to one page. Seems like there is one that seems to look like it is ours, but it’s
not a positive Face Book page. Discussion followed and Rich Holm and President Angie will work on this. If anyone else wants to help on this let
Rich and Angie know.
NEW BUSINESS
Ed Weber said David Adams from Moab received his action tracker wheel chair that we all pitched in and help buy; David wanted to say thank you.
The Jeepers from the Northwest had contributed to this. We raised about $19,000 in about 6 weeks. This has tractor treads on the wheel chair that
allows him to use it on the trails without a Jeep.
Earl Nettnin asked what recourse we might have when and if we get tangled up with the people who are wanting to close things; if they don’t get
their way they plan to sue. President Angie said we have an attorney, legal fund, WOHVA, Blue Ribbon etc and we can call an emergency board
meeting to discuss what action to take.
President Angie said Crystal Crowder (Piston’s Wild) is still asking for use of our PNW Mailing list. Angie has asked that it brought up at Fall
Delegates to see what the delegates say. We need to have this brought up to the delegates and see what their feelings on this are and if necessary
we can update our SOP’s to reflect the wishes of the delegates. At our March 7, 2015 Board meeting we adopted the following under Membership
Guidelines: 1. Membership list - the PNW4WDA membership list will not be given in its entirety without Board or President approval. 1A. Region
Directors may have access to their respective region rosters. State Directors may have access to their respective state roster subject to #1.
Del Albright sent a message that more and more folks are involved in off road OHV recreation than ever. More ATV’s and JK Jeeps are being
bought than the market ever expected. Usage of OHV recreation on public and private land is at an all time high. Yet club and association
membership seems to be at an all time low or near that. Del said there is nothing more powerful than voices when we have to go to the hall of
congress. We need to figure out how to encourage membership in clubs and associations. Del has a post on Face Book where you can join in the
discussion. This problem is not just in the Northwest, but is everywhere.
President Angie said there are some negative comments on the Northwest Wheelers Forum about our organization and she did not appreciate
down grading our organization. Discussion followed and we need to be aware that this is going on.
OPERATION SHORE PATROL - President Angie has submitted the paper work for us to obtain the copyright and it came back stating they needed
more information. President Angie has gathered the information they requested and is moving forward with it.
There is a RCO meeting June 25, 2015 at 11:30 AM in Olympia. They are going to consider amendments to the Washington Administrative Code
(WAC) regarding public records. The purpose of the rule making is to revise existing definitions; add new definitions; update agency contact
information; revise the mission, goals and duties of the RCO Funding Board. The proposed amendments are in the Washington State Register
issue number 15-11 and the Recreation and Conservation Office rule making Web page. The agenda and meeting materials for the meeting is on
the meeting Web page.
Gaming Regulations: The Outcast 4X4’s got a phone call from the Gaming Commission about their Poker run. The Quadra Paws sent President
Angie paper work on the WA State Gambling Regulations and how they handled it. Discussion followed on what the requirements for a gaming
license are.

Gary for submission.
Jr. Jeepers Chairman Teia Ireland

and had not sent a report.
Trail Jamboree Chairman Ed Weber
(Cascade 4X4’s) said he is in panic
mode. Ed is a member of Region 2

Region 4 Director
June 9, 2015
Selah, WA
Region Director Earl Nettnin (Desert
Rats) called the meeting to order at 7:
30 PM. The Pledge of Allegiance was
recited and moment of silence for the
sick and departed was observed. No
guests
were present.
Minutes: Secretary Sande Nettnin
(Desert Rats) said she had one
correction for the minutes. She said
under Trail Counters she printed
there were 2688 people that had been
counted from the middle of January
through April 1st and it should have
been vehicles. Gary Harting (Desert
Rats) made a motion seconded by
Doug Conner (Roamin’ Chariots)
that we accept the corrected minutes;
motion carried.
Treasurer’s Report was given by
Treasurer Sande Nettnin; we have no
outstanding bills at this time.

Nothing new to
PNW’s Web Site: Web Master Rich
Holm (Happy Campers) is doing a
good job keeping it up.
Club Power/We Did It Chairman
Gary Harting said we have had
some activity turned in to him; he
also said he had sent a letter to the
PNW President Angie Marek (which
he read tonight) on the way things
were handled at Winter Convention
regarding paper work that he had sent
to the Club Power/We Did It Chairman
Kathy Greenwood (Off Road Animals).
She had not allowed any of the paper
work he had sent in because she said
it was not filled out properly, so none of
Region 4’s volunteer hours or people
were counted in her report. Gary
did not know this until she made that
announcement at Winter Convention.
Since that time Gary turned in paper
work for the clean-up at Jim Sprick
Park. Gary also read a letter that
he had received from Kathy after
she received this paper work telling
him that it was perfect this time and
she was sorry for last year’s miss
communications and she is trying to
improve each day. She also said she
appreciated him staying on as Region
4-Wheelin’ News
Pick Up A Mountain Chairman
Alicia Palachuk said she has sent
information in to Tri-Power asking it be
printed in the June, July and August
issues. Alicia handed out flyers tonight
that had the order form on the back for
t-shirts. She said the colors are safety
colors, pink, green and orange. She
said the pink ones do not come in tall
size the others do. Sweatshirts will
also be the safety green or orange;
they will also be available in tall. She
will be contacting Yakima Waste to
arrange for the dumpster. She went to
Oregon a couple weeks ago to visit her
parents and while there she purchased
a few items for the kids prizes (no
tax). She also would like donations
for the teenagers. She also asked
the region for a donation for raffle
prizes. Randy Hayes (Columbia Basin
Sand Commandos) made a motion
seconded by Gloria Joralemon (Shindig
Wheelers) that the region donate $300
for raffle prizes; motion carried. The
Region Secretary/Treasurer will send a
letter with the check to Carl Niebuhr at
Olympic 4X4 to have him pick out the
prizes for us. Carl is happy to do this
for us and he has been very generous
to us. In the past we had received a
couple of very nice baskets from Nile
Valley Meats and we will be asking
them for a donation again this year.
Things are coming along. Teia Ireland
asked Alicia to ask for a couple of adults
to help her with the little kids games, so
if you feel this is something you would
like to help with please contact Teia or
Alicia. Randy Hayes will be heading up
the Corn Shucking contest again. The
Columbia Basin Sand Commandos will
be cooking and serving the Sunday
breakfast. The menu will be coffee,
juice, pancakes, scrambled eggs and
maybe fruit.
PR Clay Graham (Individual Member)
was not present tonight ; he is doing a
good job of getting information out for
us. Thank you, Clay.
LAND MATTERS
Juniper Dunes - Doug Conner visited
Juniper Dunes via Peterson Road
June 8th in his air conditioned Jeep,
105 degrees. The private portion of
Peterson Road had been watered
and graded and there were new “No
Trespassing” signs coming and going.
There is a huge pile of gravel at the
airstrip across the highway and Doug is
guessing since the county isn’t going to
fix the road maybe the owner is. There
is a new crop circle across Peterson
Road from the turn in to Smith Canyon.
The last word we had was that the
county is still on schedule to have the
new road a mile east of Peterson Road
finished early in 2017.
Ahtanum - Ron Rutherford reported
that DNR has locked gates again in the
Ahtanum. One gate is on the Middle
Fork Ahtanum Road at Eagles Nest
the other is on the North Fork Ahtanum
Road at Snow Cabin Campground; so
you can’t get over Darland Mountain.
DNR feels the reason is 70% of the
people are tearing things up and 30%
are trying to do things the right way.
These closures are due to weekend
warriors who turn areas into mud bogs.
After reading the article in the Yakima
Herald Ron immediately put in a phone
call to Jeff Jones (DNR) and Jeff said
the decision to close things came after
the last weekend. Ron informed Jeff
that he was one who really supported
and went after funding for the new
Enforcement Officer Richard Rhea
and he wanted to know where he was.
Jeff said he was working in the Wenas
area. Jeff Jones has just seen a couple
pictures; and not had an opportunity to
go and look at it; they just decided to
close it. They plan to go and look at
it the end of the month and will decide
what it needs to rehab and hope to
have it open for the 4th of July. Mike
Palachuk (Shindig Wheelers) said
it had popped up on the off camber
web site; saying the damage has been
there for many years. Ron said the
gates are locked so he can’t legally
go in and look at it unless he walks it.
Discussion followed and our delegates
said they thought DNR should have to
check things out and be sure they have
the correct information before they
automatically close and lock gates.
Ron hopes to go with Jeff Jones to
check it out soon. DNR only has
two enforcement officers in Eastern
Washington.
BBQ Flats should be finished next
week.
TWIG - The meeting scheduled for
June 3rd was canceled and meetings
will resume in the fall.
Travel Management - nothing new
Naches Collaborative meetings are
still on-going for the Little Naches and
Little Crow. Ron Rutherford attended a
steering committee meeting May 26th.
Ron said our group presented to the
Ranger that we liked what we saw on
the Little Crow Project; and would not
support closing the 1921 Road. The
environmentalists want it closed and
removed physically. Ron said another
meeting will be held on June 24th. The
steering committee is going to work
on pushing a work plan so everyone
can work together. Ron said this Little
Naches and Little Crow Restoration
Project will be on going for many years,
the funding for this runs out in 2019.
They were going to have a public
meeting on the restoration project; but
the Ranger decided we didn’t need to
have one. Earl reminded everyone
when the comment period comes
up on the time line we all had better
make written comments. We will do
our best to let everyone know when to
make comments. Discussion followed
and a lot of our people said they had
encountered people who didn’t know
anything about the Little Naches
Restoration. It would be nice to have
some kind of paper work to hand these
people to educated them. They need
to know what’s happening in our forest.
They need to know that next year
they may not be able to enjoy their
favorite camping and wheeling places.
William Rutherford (Jeepin’ Nomads)
said first of all if we were going to do
this we would need someone to take
a Forest Service Map and pinpoint the
locations where the closures might
take place so everyone would have the
same information saying this is how it
will affect your recreation. Secondly he
had heard a speech by Dan Newhouse
speaking on the overall forest health.
William said he felt we should try
and get Dan Newhouse on board
with what’s happening on the forest
to help us in our fight to keep things
open. Earl will look into setting up a
meeting with Dan Newhouse to bring
him up to speed. William offered to
sit in on this meeting also. Lots more
discussion followed and some of our
members were wondering if it was time
to join forces with other organizations
in this fight like WOHVA, Blue Ribbon
etc. We are members of both WHOVA
and Blue Ribbon who can help us in
JULY 2015
our fight with the legislation. Because
we are a non-profit group (our 501c
(4) rating) we are limited in what we
can do.
Naches Trail work party report was
given by Ron Rutherford. Ron said we
had started planning this work party a
year ago and the plan came together
May 28, 29, 30 and 31. We had ten
clubs; one of them were the Ski
Benders and another the Gleed Boys;
we also had a few volunteers who just
came along and wanted to help. After
all was said and done we had 760
volunteer hours turned in to the Forest
Service. This was a very successful
work party, great weekend.
Ron
wanted to say thank you to everyone
who helped with the project. Ron is
working on getting the paper work filled
out and turned in for Club Power/We
Did It. Ron is also putting together
a power point for the Forest Service
complete with pictures. Ron also plans
to do an article for Tri-Power. Thank
you Ron for all your efforts.
Kaner Work Party scheduled for June
27th has been moved to August 1st &
2nd. They only need 10 - 12 people.
Materials will be brought in on July
31st kind of like we did on the Naches
work party. Terry Joralemon (Shindig
Wheelers) is the person of contact for
this project .
Oak Creek will have a meeting Tuesday
June 16th. Ron Rutherford represents
motorized on this committee. Ron said
on the agenda will be the South Fork of
the Cowiche and motorized trails. The
end of June Ron will be out for a day
with Ross Huffman in the Milk Creek
area to look at trails.
OLD BUSINESS
June 3rd was the PNW Board
Teleconference. Earl announced that
Fall Delegates has been moved from
Astoria, OR to Washougal, WA at Best
Western Motel and the meeting will be
held at the Fern Prairie Fire Station
#91. The plan is to fast track the
meeting and have a run to the Yacolt
Burn and Region 3 will provide dinner
Saturday night.
Winter Convention
February 12th - 14th, 2016 will be in
Bend, OR at the Bend River House.
We have a new Region 8 Director in
Idaho, her name is Lolli Bunce. She
lives in Weston, ID. She is a member
of the Rocky Mountain Rebels. Lolli
has been busy working with the Forest
Service and BLM.
She has had
several sit down meetings with the
Ranger Districts in Utah. This is a big
plus for us, as we have been wanting
to get something going in Idaho for
some time. Earl said he had asked
what the procedure is if we need to
take legal action because of the people
who are wanting to close things have
indicated if they don’t get their way
they plan to sue. The answer was we
have an attorney, legal fund, WOHVA,
Blue Ribbon etc. and we can call an
emergency Board meeting to discuss
what action to take. Being non-profit we
have to operate within our guidelines.
WOHVA and Blue Ribbon are aware of
some of what’s been happening with
the Little Naches Restoration. When
the time comes we will get them more
involved. Gary Harting said the time
has come and he wanted to know
if there are any specific people that
were liaisons with the organizations we
belong to and support that we could
contact. yes, Don Amador with Blue
Ribbon and Byron Stuck with WOHVA
are willing to work with us. Ron said
he felt we need a professional coach
to assist us in keeping one step ahead
of the environmentalists; that being
Conservation Northwest and Marine
Fisheries. More discussion and the
conscious is we need to act now.
We also have our Inter Association
Director positions with the PNW Don
& Carol Jensen who stand ready to
help also. Mike Palachuk commented
that the 4-Wheel drive and Off Road
magazines have a land use complaint
15
the Forest Service. May 22, 23, 24 &
25 Memorial Weekend they camped in
the White Pass area with the Roamin’
Chariots and did some wood cutting,
trail survey, and put a trail counter in
on the Short and Dirty Trail, they didn’t
see any major trail damage. They
were involved with the Naches Trail
Work party May 28, 29, 30 & 31. In
June their Nomad camp out will be at
Sleepy Park.
section, stating what’s going on but he
never sees anything about Washington
State or the Northwest; this might be
a job for our PR person, however, this
position on the PNW Board is open.
NEW BUSINESS
RCO is having a meeting June 25, 2015
in Olympia to consider amendments to
the Washington Administrative Code
(WAC) regarding public records.
This meeting is for the RCO Funding
Board.
Yakima Valley Timberwolves - Don
Andrews reported they attended the
race in Toppenish Memorial weekend,
they had a couple events at Tampico
Snow Park doing volunteer work and
they logged in 104 volunteer hours.
They have another work party June
27 at the Tampico Snow Park starting
at 10 AM. Don said Clay Graham’s
club had something planned for that
weekend too so they will coordinate
with him and work together on the
project.
GOOD OF THE ORDER
Gloria Joralemon said thank you to
the Region for letting her have the
trophy for being the most inspirational
in Region 4 for 2014; she said she
was really honored to be a part of this
association.
At PUAM last year someone had won a
door prize that they couldn’t use since
they didn’t live in this area and they
gave it back to us to give away. It is
from Frank’s Tire Factory in Selah for a
tire rotation and balance valued at $60.
Terry Joralemon said he could use it.
CLUB REPORTS
Desert Rats - Gary Harting reported
we had 2 runs one to Liberty and one to
work on the Naches Project. We have
a run to St. John to launch Sprint Boats
over Father’s Day Weekend. Several
of us will be attending Trail Jamboree
either as camp hosts or trail hosts.
Columbia Basin Sand Commandos
- Ed Massey said they spent 12 days
at Liberty and their Poker Run they
had planned for Saturday May 23rd
was canceled because trail conditions
due to rain on Thursday and Friday
made the trails impossible. They are
going to Ryder Camp in the Manastash
Father’s Day Weekend. They have a
couple of broken rigs they plan to get
fixed before Father’s Day.
Roamin’ Chariots - Doug Conner
reported that one third of the club
attended the Naches work party.

Competition
Report
Hello all. As you read this
we are in the heart of racing
season. Summer Convention
is right around the corner.
Your competition committee
is working hard to make this a
great weekend for all. When I
was a kid, Summer Convention
was a huge event, with multiple
activities for racers and nonracers. This year we are going
to try to bring that back.
AUGUST 14-16, 2015

ETHEL, WA

Co-Chair: Kyle Wiebold 360-772-5682 [email protected]
**NO OPEN HEADERS**
Let’s start with the theme on the
back of the shirts. 8 Regions.
2647 Members. 92 Clubs. One
Summer Convention. As one
the 2647 members reading this,
I want you to realize that this is
your event. We are adding a
technical course this year. We
are adding fun events.
We
are having a contest for best
decorated camp. The attempt
this year is for the trail rigs to
join us. If you come out to
camp and run the technical
course, it’s only going to cost
you fifty dollars – for three days
of fun and entertainment. The
racing will be top notch. The
improvements to the infield
allows us more visibility for
spectators. For an additional
forty dollars, you can race the
drags, barrels, obstacle, and
cross country courses as well. If
we get enough trail rigs, we can
run a street and trail only team
relay.
This
is
YOUR
Summer
Convention. Do you have an
idea of something to add to the
event? Please contact me or any
of the region comp chairmen. If
you haven’t been to Summer
Convention for a while, or have
never been, this is the year to
give it a try. Hope to see you
all on August 14 – 16. Actually
– hope to see you all at as many
playdays as you can make.
Respectfully submitted,
Steve Zentner

Naches Trail
Work Party!
We would like to thank the Rainier Ruffians, The
Hombres, Tacoma Webfooters, Rednecks, Rugrats
and all the other non club volunteers that showed up
to help the Off Road Animals on this years Naches
Trail Work Party! The West side bridges were
repaired, Lots of rock was dumped and the rub rails
were replaced until we ran out of hardware. This
will definitely help to keep the trail safe for all that use
it. There will be another work party at a later date to
finish up repairs. I would like add a special thank you
to Andy Michael for getting all the hardware for every
rub rail we replaced! Hopefully with the new 6X6 rub
rails the bridges will hold up better for many years
to come. The weather was great and volunteers
worked very hard. We had 6 volunteers on Friday, 19
volunteers on Saturday and 16 on Sunday and they
were all great to work with!
Thank you all for your
hard work on Region 2 Trails!

NEW PNW4WDA SPONSORSHIP
At the Board of Directors meeting in December the board adopted a new Sponsorship Program for the Association. This
program will help us as we continue to move forward. Due to contractual obligations we had to wait until January 1st,
2011 to start contacting vendors. We have had a wonderful response and I look forward to presenting our sponsors so far
at Winter Convention. Listed below are the four levels of sponsorship. If you or someone you know is interested please
call the phone number listed below.
