Fire was a natural cleansing tool
Since the early 1930's fire
management activities have been
limited to the control of forest fires.
Today, with our enhanced
understanding of the natural cycle of
fire in the forest and the purpose it
served, we are changing the way
forests are managed. Long before
Europeans settled in North America,
fires were a common part of the
landscape. Most were started by
lightning, although Native Americans
also purposely set fires to improve
hunting or grazing for livestock.
Ironically, the crystal clear skies
people take for granted over the
Cascades were far less common in
the past, because of natural fires.
Before this century, fires probably
burned in ponderosa pine stands
approximately once every 15 years.
Under this natural fire cycle, fires
had a cleansing effect. These fires
seldom killed the larger ponderosa
pine trees, but burned the brush and
the smaller trees before they could
create dangerous fuel ladders to
spread fire to the upper forest
canopies.
From 1910 to 1930, major fires
occurred on U.S. forests, with great

loss to life and property. Widespread
government and public concern led
to an aggressive effort to suppress
fires. After 60 years, however, this
policy has been given serious review
and rethinking.
In the 1980's, the Forest Service
began to notice forest health problems
which were partly a result of over
aggressive fire control. Bug
infestations and diseases which
thrived in the unnaturally dense stands
began to spread. Catastrophic
wildfires were also a danger, due to
the large build-up of fuel.
The increasing knowledge of the
role of fire has led to many changes
in the way forests are managed.
Prescribed, or controlled fires are
now considered an essential tool in
restoring the forest to healthy state.
Forests are now getting in a
position of having overstocked stands
where individual trees aren't getting
enough sunlight, moisture, or
nutrients. Some of these weakened
trees are getting sick and dying, and
creating hazards. Thinning dense
stands and salvaging some of the
dead trees along with prescribed fire
and careful burning in the woods,
on posters, programs, flyers, etc.

Eliminate that
skunk odor
If you have a pet that has gotten
too close to a skunk you know how
unpleasant it can smell. We have all
heard of different "sure fire" remedies
that are supposed to wash the stink
right out of the unfortunate pet
(tomato juice, for example) but they
never seem to be completely
effective. Usually the unpleasant
smelling dog or cat is banished from
the house until the odor slowly fades.
If all else has failed to get your pet
back to it's sweet smelling self you
might want to try this recipe. It comes
highly recommended by Chemical
EngineeringNews.Pesticide Reports
and Pesticide Coordinator Report.
1 quart 3 hydrogen peroxide
(from drugstore).
14 cup baking soda (sodium
bicarbonate).
1 teaspoon liquid soap.
After washing your pet in this
mixture you should rinse it
thoroughly. You might also try using
this mixture to wash other things that
have had close encounters with
skunks, like your car, if you have
been unfortunate enough to run one
over. Good luck with a more pleasant
smelling tomorrow!
Taiwanese
The Warm Springs Museum is
responsible for bringing Native
American cultural understanding to
life for people who, otherwise, would
not be exposed. On July 7, 1994, the
Warm Springs Museum hosted a
performance for a number of
Taiwanese students who were visiting
from over seas. Thanks to the various
student workers at the museum they
were able to put on a show of dancing
for the Taiwanese that surely
surprised and intrigued them. Jeanne

Geothermal
The Forest Service and Bureau of
Land Management have announced
plans to proceed with a pilot
geothermal power plant on the flanks
of Newberry Volcano outside the
Newberry National Volcanic
Monument. Sally Collins, Forest
SupcrvisorfortheDcschutcsNational
Forest stated "this is the best
alternative environmentally that
proceeds with this unique pilot
electric power generation project"
The decision marks another landmark
in the Bonneville Power
Administration, Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) and Forest
Service partnership to explore and
test the feasibility of using the earth's
heat to generate electricity.
"The biggest change the BLM and
Forest Service made from the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement
(DEIS) was to site the 33 megawatt
power plant outside of an unroaded
area which was of great concern to
many," Collins explained. Well pads,
pipelines, and access roads may be
located within the unroaded area, as
is permitted in the 1990 Deschutes
Forest Plan. "The analysis presented
in the DEIS clearly shows that
geothermal energy production at
Newberry can occur in an
environmentally safe manner outside

Choose healthier foods for healthier life
by Sara Thomas, M.S., R.D.
What is the number one killer of
Americans? It's a toss up! As many
Americans die from diet related dis
eases as die from cigarette smoking.
Each kill some 400,000 people a
year. This is the finding of a study by
the Department of Heal th and Human
Services that was published in the
Journal of the American Medical
Association. These diet related dis
eases include heart disease, strokes,
diabetes, atheroschlerosis,
osteoporosis, and many cancers.
What can you do to reduce your risk?
Eat less fat, especially saturated
fat: The message used to be eat less
cholesterol, but now the most im
portant message is to eat less satu
rated fat. Dietary saturated fat has
more impact on blood cholesterol
levels than dietary cholesterol. Re
search has found that cutting back on
eggs doesn't do much for lowering
blood cholesterol levels unless
saturated fat intake is also decreased.
Saturated fat is "bad" and "clog
ging" to the blood vessels. Saturated
fat intake should not exceed 10 of ,
the daily calorie intake, less than 22
grams of saturated fat a day for a
person eating 2,000 calories per day.
Saturated fats are solid at room
temperature; e.g.. butter, hard mar
garine, tropical oils and animal fats.
Ground beef contributes more satu

diet than any other single food, so it

The healthier choices are the un
saturated fats which are liquid at
room temperature likecanola, olive,
peanut, and other vegetable oils. The
best type of margarine to choose is a
soft tub margarine.
Eating fatty fish like salmon one
or two times a week may protect
against heart disease, but there is not
direct evidence that fish oil supple
ments offer the same protection.
Good or bad, all fats should be
eaten in moderation. The typical
American gets about 40 of their
calories from fat. In a 2,000 calorie
diet this is equal to eating 1 stick of
butter a day! The recommendation is
to get less than 30 of calories from
fat. That would be equal to one to
two Tbs. oil or margarine in a 2,000
calorie diet.
Eating less fat is also important in
order to avoid weight gain since fat
is more fattening than carbohydrate

Become more active: Americans
are getting heavier. Americans today
eat less and weigh more than their
counterparts at the turn of the cen

century were more active. They
walked and biked to more places
instead of driving. They relied less
on labor-saving devices like riding
lawn mowers.
Today many studies indicate that
one of the major causes of overweight
is under-exercise, not overeating. In

Communication, it seems, would
be a set back for anybody visiting a
separate country where their language
is not the native tongue, But the
students of Taiwan seemed too
excited to let a language barrier
discourage them. Some of the
students were well schooled in the
area of the English language, but the
education was in various degrees.
Many of the students had taken book
learn English for four years. Others
took conversational English, but a
very popular item for deciphering
the English code was with a little
help from modem technology, the
computer translator.
After the Taiwanese students had
their fill of Warm Springs culture
they needed to cool off. Where is a
better place to go than Warm Springs
own Kah-Nee-Ta? At Kah-Nee-fa
the students enjoyed themselves by
splashing around in the pool and
reflecting on the experience that they
had just previously intaken.
Funding for such a trip is always
strenuous. In the case of the
Educational Foundation, they were
obliged to arrange the trip and
activities for the students, but all
things planned were personally
funded by the students themselves.
This is.of course.expensive but there
is no replacement for experiencing
the enrichment of a foreign country
first hand. It is to be sure that the
Taiwanese can go back to their native
land and say to all who ask, "Hey, I
got to see what goes on at a powwow."
