WHITE WATER KID STYLE— A lvis Smith 111, R yan Eagleheart and R em o Sm ith spent a summer’s afternoon drifting the Shitike “whitewater” on inner tubes. D ebris in the creek has added extra dangers, says Fire and Safety Officer Jerry H uff In recent weeks people have voiced their concern over the debris in the Shitike Creek to Fire and Safety Officer Jerry Huff. According to Huff, the main concernís fallen trees and broken glass in the lower Shitike, , The lower Shitike has, for many years, been a summer playground for children during the summer months. Some Warm Springs residents have voiced th e o p in io n th a t children could be seriously injured by the debris. Much of the debris is fallen trees that were carried down stream during the high water last winter. Earlier this summer the Fire and Safety Depart ment was called upon to rescue a young boy who had became entangled in one o fth e fallen trees near the Shitike Bridge. T h e F ire a n d S a fe ty department along with the Safety Committee met and drew up a plan to enlist the summer youth workers to clean up the area. It was noted at the meeting that the Shitike Creek was a spawning stream for trout, steelhead, suckers and Dolly Vardent. Since the plan doesn’t alter the stream habitat nor the stream flow, tribal fish and wildlife biologist Terry Luther stated there wouldn’t be any reason to discourage the creek clean-up.. H u ff a d d e d , "A sw ift flowing body of water will never be safe for small children who are unsupervised, but we can remove some of the o b v io u s h a z a r d s . ” H e suggested p are n ts provide supervision for small children while they play in the Shitike Creek plus provide life jackets or other flotation devices for small children. ' Having a safe and happy summer can provide fond memories for everyone.
