T" . ... .....L. I !
Dry summer weather brines
increased danger from wildfire to
homes that interface with forest and
rangeland. Every year since 1985,
more than 300 homes have been
destroyed by wildfires. Many of these
homes could have been saved had
simple precautions been taken before
wildfire struck.
The most effective fire prevention
device yet invented is a fire safe
attitude. While fire insurance might
replace property destroyed in a fire,
there is no insurance available to
replace human life. . . yours, your
family's, or your neighbors.
With a positive fire prevention
attitude and by following preventive
measures suggested, you can enjoy
your wildland home with confidence.
The following information can
assist you in making the necessary
decisions that could prevent orreduce
losses due to wildfire.
A. Roofing is made of non
combustible materials, (sheet metal,
cement, shingle, tile slate).
B. Trees have been trimmed away
from the roof.
C. Plants are low growing and
less flammable, (flowers, vegetable
garden, etc.)
D. Flammables are stored away
from the house, (wood piles, old cars,
dry grass, paints, gasoline).
E. Yard is well trimmed and free
of debris that will carry fire.
F. Roof and gutters should be
cleaned of leaves and pine needles.
G. A 30 foot non-combustible fire
break surrounds your home, (limb
trees, cut brush, pick-up trash).
H. An adequate escape route for
residence and alternate route is
available.

old, a decision based on blueberry
planting schedules. Marcia estimates
that it will be between seven and 10
years before the plants begin bearing
fruit.
The tiny seedlings made their
public debut at the Senior Citizens
Center June 8. Elders have long ex
pressed their concerns for the dwin
dling supply of huckleberries on the
reservation. Frustration is also a part
of their concern, saying that "noth
ing will be here" in the future.
The first phase of the recent award
will last six months and includes plot
identification and preparation and
reduction of competitive plants.
Marcia says the company plans to
take a chipper into designated areas
to remove the unwanted foliage that
in turn will create a nutritious and
protective mulch for the seedlings.
Plot selection will be based on sev

nificance, soil suitability, annual
rainfall and snowpack and other fac
tors. Phase II will include training for
employees. Currently the company
consists of only Marcia, Vinson and
Marcia's husband Ben. But, as the
work grows, so must the number of
employees. Workers will be trained
in how to document plant progress
and how to maintain fields once they
are established. Also, the crown cover
in test areas will be cleared to vary
ing degrees to determine suitable
growing conditions. S
Phase III will include gaining fi
nancial commitment from non-federal
entities, private or tribal. This
phase also includes commercial ben
efits for tribal members. "It will not
be set up as a commercial endeavor,
but if the Tribe wants to develop" the
project commercially, "that's okay,"
says Marcia. "Or, if members want
to, the berries can be sold" for per
sonal benefit, she added.
"This work will be done for the
entire community of Warm Springs
not any particular family," stresses
Marcia. "What happens to the ber
ries will be up to the birds, bears and
community."
