I V'. Sj'va McCabe Five or six times a week Warm Springs Daycare Assistant teacher Sylvia McCabe dons her sweatsuit and jogs, joins in an aerobics exer cise session, plays volleyball or goes for a walk. She spends from six to nine hours each week in the pursuit of good health. Although she has only recently begun her exercise program, McCabe is working hard at it and finding much satisfaction. "It's good to try new things," she says. McCabe was initially influenced by her sister Emily Allison from Farmington, New Mexico, who always talked about running in races in Parker, Arizona and on the Navajo Reservation. While visiting her lust full, McCabe ran in a race with her and hasn't put down her running shoes since. McCabe has set goals for herself, particularly in running. With future races in mind, she hopes to improve her time in all the 10 K runs in which she participates next year. Like most exercise enthusiasts, McCabe experiences times when exercise seems like a lot of (rouble or it just doesn't seem to fit in the schedule. She says, when it rains it's difficult to go running and unexpected schedule changes dis rupt exercise. But she tries very hard to get it in sometime during the day. "If I miss my run in (he morning or evening," she says, "I make sure I run during my lunch hour." She adds, "During the summer I jogged at night using a flashliaht." To avoid missing a daily exercise session, McCabe likes to take ad vantage of the early bird aerobics conducted by Eva Montce or other acrobiccxcrcisc sessions conducted by Lucinda Greene, Pinky Beymcr and Antoinette Wolfe. She saysshe also has her own Jane Fonda wor kout tape and occasionally uses the jogging machine at the Commun ity Center. As further encouragement toex crcise, McCabe sometimes recruits her family to join her. Husband Louie Sclam and daughter Angela jog with her. She also swims with Angela and hunts and fishes with Louie. "Angela and I have done cross country skiing and down hill ski ing," McCabe says. She hopes to get her family interested in other things she likes to do, or would like to try, like water skiing and ice skating. "Exercising with your family brings you closer," McCabe feels. And, she says, "It adds zip to your life, instead of doing the same dull routine." The benefits of exercise are many for McCabe. Besides bringing her family closer together, the other personal benefits for her include losing weight and increasing endu rance, reducing the possibility of heart attack, having fun and meet ing new people. She says, too, her friends encourage her and "I don't have a nagging husband who tells me I am fat anymore."Besides all of that, McCabe says that with her exercise program,"! feel good about myself again."

Lola Sohappy Judge, W arm Sprints Tribal C ourt Year-round fishing Continued from page 1 that my father and grandfather fished. ..at a time and place of my own choosing. The Maupin fisherman says he has been trying to work with the Tribe and ODFW to alleviate tres pass problems. He stresses to his fellow fishermen that trespassing is "cutting our own throat." He sees part of the problem with increased trespass violations as being lack of education regarding tribal lands and inadequate posting of the tri bal area. He is giving attention to both problems. The Warm Springs Tribe recently withdrew a petition to the Fish and Wildlife Commission appealing a reversal of the regulation. Accord ing to tribal attorney Howard Arnett discussion of the regulation will occur during the regulation setting sessions scheduled for 1 989. Henry, L.

Protecting property, lives in wildlandurban interface areas poses critical problem In October, 1871, a fire in Pesh tigo, WI, killed more than 1,500 people and burned 1 .2 million acres. The Peshtigo Fire occurred in the same month as the infamous Chi cago Fire. But whille everyone has heard of Mrs. O'Leary's cow, few have heard of the Peshtigo fire in which four times as many people died. Ancient history? Not so! The 1985 wildland fire season was the most severe of ths century. By the end of the fiscal year, over 83,000 wildfires had burned almost three million acres, destroyed or damaged in excess of 1,400 struc tures and dwellings, caused the deaths of 44 civilians and firefigh ters, and cost the federal, state and local fire agencies and private in dustry over $400 million in fire fighting costs. Damage estimates to natural resources and property are not available, but probably run into the hundred of millions of dollars. The southern states east of the Appalachian Mountains from Flor ida to Virginia, parts of New Eng land, Idaho, Nevada and central California were especially hard hit by wildfires. National mobilization was needed in the western states and in the south to cope with wild fires. During the first week of July, a total fire mobilization of over 20,000 federal and state firefighters was committed to fires in 13 western states, including massive fires in California, Idaho, Oregon and Nevada. The loss of property was the worst since 1 87 1 when the Peshtigo Fire destroyed entire communities. Major losses of buildings occurred in Florida, North Carolina and California, but reports of structure losses have also come from Wash ington, South Carolina, Oregon and New England. The number of structures saved by wildland fire fighters is not known, but wildfire reports routinely listed "structures threatened" in daily status reports. Because protection of property and lives took priority, natural resource losses increased when fire forces were diverted to protecting struc tures. Last year's loss in lives and pro perty is part of a developing trend. A major population shift from ur ban to suburban living in the years since World War II has greatly expanded what is now called the urban wildland or woodland home environment the zone where people are in contact with the wild lands for reasons not related to timber or other traditional forest uses. Although this trend has increased the general population's appreciation for the amenity values of forests, it has also greatly in creased th number of primary resi dences, second homes and retire ment homes located in forests and brushlands. Vast areas of the Uni ted States contain high-value properties intermingled with flam mable native vegetation. Structural fire loses are increas ing dramatically as more people build and live in proximity to flam mable plant communities. Major loss of life is possiblle in fact, inevitable. The problem is not, as is often believed, one unique to south ern California. The extension of residential and commercial devel opment into areas with high fire risk has been noted throughout the Nation from the Georgia Peid mont and the sand plains of central Michigan to the Rocky Mountain foothills near Denver to northern New England. Although current fire manage ment practices make it unlikely that fires will ever again reach the huge proportions of those in 19th century America, the risks to life, property, natural resources and economic welfare are much higher today than ever before. Huge fires are not required for catastrophic losses in the modern wildlandur ban interface. Even small fires can be killers three homeowners died when an eight-acre fire swept their Baldwin Hills, California subdivi sion. Fire management must change in order to better prevent and sup press smaller, fast-moving single and multiple fires as a wild land urban interface continues to expand. This change must occur nationally. The task of protecting lives and property from wildfires in the wild land urban interface poses one of the most critical and elusiveprob lems faced by wildfire protection agencies. Wildfire protection agencies have broken the problem down into several parts: Fire managers are unable to reliably predict erratic fire behav ior in mixture of structures, orna mental vegetation and wildland fuels characterizing the interface. Physical fuel properties and mois ture relations in these areas are not well understood, as they are gov- SUBSCRIPTION TO SPILYAY TYMOO SEND SUBSCRIPTION TO: SPILYAY TYMOO, PO BOX 870, WARM SPRINGS, OR 97761 NAME ADDRESS CITY STATE.

Possible rela tionships among building and land scaping location, design and con struction, with respect to terrain and other structures, add to the complexity of fire behavior. For example, spotting (fires starting from flying embers) is especially difficult to forecast due to the diversity of firebrand materials and unusually complex windflow pat terns. Yet, spotting is the chief cause of structural fire ignitions in wildlandurban areas. Use of prescribed fire for hazard reduction (fires purposely set to remove undesirable vegetation) is made difficult by legal, political and environmental concerns. Lia bility for damages to intermingled private holdings is a significant deterrent. In many cases, the very reason for living in the interface precludes the use of fire. Nonethe less, means must be found to man age fire hazards in the interface, while maintaining or enhancing desired environmental and economic values. Many property owners are unaware of the wildfire threat and fire safety ordinance and building codes are frequently inadequate, unenforced or disregarded. A quin tessential example is the insistence on flammable roof materials in the chaparral area of southern Cali fornia, but similar attitudes are exhibited throughout the world. The design of subdivisions, also, continues to defy principles of fire safety. Many areas include narrow, winding or dead-end roads with inadequate water systems. Lots are freqently too narrow to permit effective vegetation removal. With out strong motivation to change, homeowners and developers will continue to produce and maintain these dangerous communities. Most forest fire suppression personnel are inadequately prepared for fighting sturctural fires, whe reas municiple fire deprtments are not always fully trained or equipped for wildland fire suppression. Although relatively new organiza tional systems for integrating a var iety of fire protection resources and personnel have proven effec tive, the special demands of fires in the wildlandurban interface often force firefighting personnel to per form unfamiliar tasks. The need to meld structural and vegetation fire expertise on interface fires remains a formidable challenge. The following actions and im provements are needed. Effective techniques and strate gies to assess and manage fire hazards in the wildlandurban interface. Aids for planning, budgeting and training for increased invol vement in the residential wildland interface to ensure a balanced cap ability in conducting structural and wildland fire suppression activities. Effective ways to educate property owners, land developers, insurance carries and local planners about vegetation fire problems and solutions. Fundamental knowledge about the physics of fire spotting and crowning in the wildlandurban interface. Knowledge about relationships of building design, materials and landscaping with fire hazard and behavior. Improved understanding of why people build fire-prone homes in highly flammable areas and how they respond to various motiva tional tactics to reduce vulnerability. Who is responsible for the solu tion, the fire protection agency, the homeowners, the county planner? The responsibility for fire protec tion cannot be relegated to a single element of society. If calls for a combined effort. Just a few of the groups that share in the responsi bility include: Homeowners Fire protection agencies Local and regional planners Media and communication experts Insurance carriers Builders, contractors and ar chitects Training and motivational experts A truly integrated approach to the problem would greatly reduce its impact. We all must take a hand in solving the problem. We must strive to avoid a 20th-century Peshtigo fire. There is no justifica tion for continuation of such a serious hazard to life and property.
