Springerville,AZ –May 15,2012—Campfire and smoking restrictions will be implemented Friday,May 18 in Apache and Navajo Counties,Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests,and within local fire districts located in both counties. White Mountain area cities,counties,and federal agencies,along with commercial partners that make up Northeast Arizona Public Information System (593 JIC),have been collectively planning for months to implement timely fire restrictions for public lands within the White Mountain area. With extremely dry vegetation,the risk of wildland fire is extremely high. People who enjoy public lands in Apache and Navajo Counties can reduce the risk of fire by practicing fire safety and by adhering to fire prevention restrictions. The criteria officials consider before implementing fire restrictions include current and predicted weather,fuel conditions,fire activity levels,and available resources. Due to increasing fire danger,the following fire restrictions are deemed necessary to prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public health and safety: •Fires,campfires,charcoal,coal and wood stoves are allowed in developed campgrounds only. •These restrictions limit smoking to within enclosed vehicles,buildings,or in developed campgrounds. • Pressurized liquid or gas stoves,lanterns,and heaters that can be turned off are allowed. The fire restrictions will remain in place until lands within Apache and Navajo Counties receive significant precipitation. White Mountain visitors are reminded that some campfire restrictions are always in effect,such as in forested areas within city limits of most northern Arizona communities. Additionally,fireworks are never allowed on National Forests. For more information about restrictions on public lands,call toll free 1-877-864-6985 or visit (http://www.publiclands.org/firenews/AZ.php and www.593info.org) or by dialing 593 or 928-333-3412. Violation of the prohibitions is punishable by a fine of not more than $5,000,imprisonment for not more than six months,or both. Fireworks are always prohibited on National Forest land. Arizona state lands have imposed their own restrictions separately. By chediski,on March 12th,2012 NCA 2012 BBQ ? July 28,2012 NCA Board Meeting: Free Popcorn and Sodas

Nutrioso Community Association meeting tonight is our annual General Meeting (not a Board Meeting as I posted on the kiosk). At this meeting there will be nominations from the floor for NCA Board positions that will be vacated next month. Those positions are:Vice-President &Secretary. (I have stated that I will serve another term as Secretary if no one else wants to serve,but I think it should be listed anyway.) We are also still looking for someone to fill the Treasurer position on a permanent basis. 2. Silverware wrapping for the BBQ is scheduled for 10:00 am tomorrow Friday the 22nd. Those who have signed up and anyone interested in helping with this,please call Sandi at 339-4462 to confirm. 3. There will be a Food Handler's Class on Monday July 25th at 10:00 am at the Community Center. We will need several food servers to complete the class before the BBQ. Certification is only good for one year,so those folks who completed the course last year will not be certified this year unless they repeat the course.

Hello NCA members,The annual Nutrioso BBQ is fast approaching and planning is now underway! In the past few years,it is increasingly difficult to find a volunteer to serve as BBQ Chairman,to oversee and coordinate all the various tasks involved in putting on an event of this magnitude. Last year,after several requests for a volunteer or volunteers brought no response,two of the NCA board members took on the task. By that time,the BBQ planning had fallen behind and there was a lot of catching up to do. This made the job all the more difficult. This year it was decided to delegate this task to a BBQ Committee.
