Comment Consider harvest
In riparian zones.
Some limited harvest in riparian
zones has taken place in the past.
Harvest in the A-zone (no-cut buffer)
has occurred through approval by the
general manager of Natural Re
sources, as authorized under IRMP.
Harvest in the B-zone (restricted har
vest buffer) has been conducted in
compliance with IRMP standards and
best management practices. Some
salvage harvesting has also taken
place in riparian zones. There are
IRMP requirements for the amount
and size of trees to be left when har-
Petrich is especially interested in
meeting NAJA's members. He hopes
to get out and meet the membership
sooni "I Want to visit many tribal
media communities as well as main
stream news organizations where
some of our members work."
In addition to focusing on
fundraising for NAJA, Petrich said he
wants to place more emphasis on de
veloping programs and services that
benefit the membership. "We need to
do whatever we can to assist our
members with their professional ca
reers," he said.
Petrich is looking forward to
meeting the members in Buffalo next
year during the NAJA 200 1 conven
tion. "We have a great program of
speakers, panels and skill-building
workshops shaping up for Buffalo,"
he said. "We are really hoping that
NAJA 2001 will be our largest con
vention in our nearly two decades of
serving Native American journalists."

Comment Protect riparian

Buffer strips that are measured
outward from both stream banks pro

ning phase of all projects that may
affect a stream, the hydrologist and
fish biologist are consulted to deter
mine the appropriate level of protec
tion for each stream channel or wet
area. An appropriate buffer strip is
prescribed along with any manage
ment guidelines to protect the waters
of the reservation. Each riparian
buffer is divided into two distinct
zones. Zone A is the area immediately

is protected from management activi

upslope of Zone A and may have lim

upon the stability of the ecosystem in
the riparian area.
Comment Get Input from
committees.
There are two committee mem
bers on the core team and meetings
were held during the planning pro
cess with timber committee and joint
committees. The IRMP team plans to
update committees on a quarterly ba
sis, to keep them informed and gather
their input on current developments.
Comment Stop cutting so
much.
Timber harvest is conducted on
the Warm Springs Reservation to
generate income that supports tribal
programs and services. Logging also
provides jobs, which stimulate the
local economy. Prior to integrated
resources planning, timber was har
vested primarily for economic rea-
sons. Tribal Council was concerned
that the harvest was not sustainable
and in 1992 they adopted IRMP I,
which balanced the need to generate
income with the desire to maintain or
enhance natural resources. Today,
timber harvest on the reservation is
based on a sustainable yield. The an
nual harvest does not exceed the an
nual growth. The appearance of the
forest is changing, because younger,
faster-growing stands now occur in
areas that once contained old growth
trees.
Comment Reduce burning.
Fire has long been a natural com
ponent of the forest and is, in fact,
responsible for shaping much of the
reservation forest we enjoy today.
However, these fires occurred under
natural conditions. Exclusion of fire
over the past 100 years or more has
created forest conditions that are not
natural; dense stands of trees and ex
tensive brush fields are now common.
If a fire breaks out in these stands it

could be catastrophic, burning ex
tremely hot and fast over large tracts
of land.
The risk of catastrophic fire has
changed the way land managers re
act to and use fire as a tool. To offset
the negative effects of many years of
fire exclusion, managers are now us
ing fire to reduce fuel loading. The
multipurpose nature of prescribed fire
also makes it a convenient and cost
effective tool for preparing sites for
reforestation, reducing the risk of sub
sequent wildfire, maintaining eco
logical diversity and stability, and
enhancing wildlife habitat. To reduce
burning would allow forest conditions
to worsen. Fire must be prescribed
wisely and cautiously in all situations,
but there are still many benefits that
can be derived from its use.
Comment- Improve road
maintenance.

best management practices are writ

whenever and wherever it's economi
cally possible. There are several fund

Happy New Year to everyone!
We have another exciting project we
have gotten off the ground. It is
called: " WFDD Shuttle Service".
This is a temporary service, which
started the last week of December
2000 and will be offered until April
13, 2001. The reason it is temporary,
is because we use the van for our Spe
cial Work Project crew from spring
thru faH,'--''i'-;i'!in'li:'-'''!!
' If you need transportation to get
around in the Agency community
area, call the WFDD Department at
553-3324 and we will dispatch the
shuttle van to pick you up!
Depending on the Zone we pick
you up at, the ride fee will vary de
pending on which zone you are
picked up from. The ride fee is for
one-way transports.
The following is the fee sched
ule by Zone:
Zone 1 is $2 from Campus area:
Post office, Macy's Market, Educa
tion Bldg., Com. Counseling Bldg.,
WS Elem. School.
Zone 2 is $2 from Miller Heights

Tashna Hicks, daughter of
LeRoy "Buddy" and Maria

Marine Corps delayed entry
program. She will leave June
24th for active duty for four
years. Her MOS is in the

the footsteps of her late grand
father LeRoy Alvin Hicks, Sr.
and her father LeRoy Alvin

ing sources that are used for road
maintenance, but funds are inad
equate to maintain all of the roads on
the reservation. Roads used to haul
timber are maintained through funds
generated by timber sales and school
bus routes are maintained through
funds provided by BIA Branch of
Roads. Funding sources for mainte
nance of other roads will be explored
in the future.
Comment- Eradicate more
roads.
The goal of the forest transpor
tation system is to provide an efficient
means of extracting timber, while
providing tribal members with safe
access to a variety of locations within
the forest. The road eradication pro
gram has resulted in the eradication
of more than 700 miles of road since
1984. The average road density of
4.49 miles per section has met the tar
get of 4.5 miles per section estab
lished under IRMP. The program has
also lowered expenditures by elimi
nating unnecessary roads that were
costly to maintain.
Zone 3 is $4 from West Hills area
Zone 4 is $3 from Tenino Apt.

Zone 5 is $3 from High Lookee
Elliott HeightsTrailer Court area
Zone 6 is $4 from Greeley
Heights East & West area
Zone 7 is $4 from Upper Dry

tic Workforce Development Dept.
Team.
Our intention is to provide a

nity, while helping the department
toward self-reliance. We have been
cost conscious for years and look for
ways to help meet operational needs
to help train and develop a diverse and
valuable Tribal Member workforce.
So when you ride the shuttle, you are
contributing toward helping a worthy
cause.
