Forestry terms defined
The forestry terms below pertain
to how forested stands are harv
ested and regenerated and the type
of stand that results:
Clearcutting is removal of an
entire forest stand in one cut. This
method perpetuates even-aged
stands.
Seed-Tree is removal of the
mature timber in one cut, except
for a small number of seed trees
(one to seven trees per acre). These
trees will reseed the area over a five
to ten year period. The seed trees
may be harvested once the site is
fully stocked with seedlings. This
method perpetuates even-aged
stands.
Shelterwood is removal of the
mature timber in a series of cut
tings, which extend over n nrrinH
of years. Approximately, 10-30
mature trees per acre are left to
reseed the area and provide partial
shelter to the developing seedlings
below. This shelter is eventually
removed in one or more cuts. Per
petuates even-aged stands.
Selection is removal of mature
timber, usually the oldest or largest
trees, either as single scattered trees
or small groups at short intervals,
commonly five to 30 years. Younger
trees are also thinned out at this
time to keep them growing so they
will eventually replace the large
trees harvested. Harvested areas
usually reseed naturally, so regen
eration is an on-going process.
Perpetuates or creates stands that
are uneven-aged (many age classes
of trees).
Hunt for a wild Christmas tree
For an old fashioned Christmas,
consider going out to the Mt. Hood
National Forest with your family
to hunt for a wild Chrstmas tree.
Permits to cut Christmas trees were
available at Mt. Hood Forest Offi
ces and Ranger Stations,
beginning Friday, November 24.
Permits cost $5 for each tree.
There is a limited number of Christ
mas tree permits available on a first
come, first served basis.
During the holiday season,
weather conditions are unpredic
table in mountain areas. Check
weather conditions before you leave
home. Christmas tree cutters should
dress warmly, bring extra food and
a hot beverage, prepare for rain
and snow and carry tire chains and
a shovel. Tell a family member or a
friend where you are going and
when you plan to return.
Remember to takr sow nr an
axe with you to cut your tree.

Marijuana use can impair driving capabilities, judgment, thinking
While most people are reason
ably aware of the dangers of drink
ing and driving, the dangers of
combining marijuana and driving
are neither as widely nor as clearly
perceived. This is due primarily to
the fact that alcohol is the more
widely used of the two drugs. Hence,
it has also received more scientific
scrutiny than marijuana.
Future editions ot Spilyay Tymoo
will feature news concerning the
Warm Springs Police Department.
Thecolumn, hopefully, will appear
regularly and will include news
involving local crimes, police-sponsored
community events and other
items of interest. Because the Police
Department and Fire and Safety
Department are under the umbrella
of the Public Safety branch, fires
will be reported here as well.
Stabbing fatal
A 31 -year-old man was fatally
stabbed during an altercation at a
home in West Hills, Saturday, Nov
ember 25.
Warm Springs Police responded
to a call at 6:30 a.m. at 1631 Foster
St. Upon arrival, police discovered
that Frederick Adam Johnson, an
enrolled member of the Yakima
tribe, had been stabbed once in the
chest, he died while enroute to M t.
Nonetheless, the small but con
vincing body of scientific research
on the subject indicates a serious
danger from mixing marijuana and
driving, according to the National
Safety Council and the American
Council for Drug Education.

marijuana have significantly im
paired subjects' performances up
to ten hours after the drug's con
sumption. In driving simulator tests,
marijuana use has resulted in over
whelmingly negative performance
from subjects.
Actual driving tests have shown
significant impairments in drivers
under the influence of majrijuana.
While studies in the 70s found
deficiencies in only those subjects
who had taken higher (but still
equivalent to social use levels) dos
ages of marijuana, a recent (1983)
study at the University of Pitts
burgh showed impaired perform
ance even at low dosages of
marijuana.
Importantly, all experiments have
shown the highest degrees of im
paired driver performance among
subjects given a combination of
alcohol and marijuana. Both drugs
combined are more dangerous than
either alone, and, unfortunately,
many marijuana users take the
drug in combination with alcohol.
While marijuana has been proven
to impair driving performance, es
tablishing the drug as an actual
contributor to highway crashes is
more difficult than for alcohol.
This is primarily due to its chemi
cal composition. Alcohol levels re
main stable and decline slowly.
while THC (the psychoactive in
gredient in marijuana) is rapidly
converted by the body into other
substances soon after ingestion.
