All Indian Rodeo set The Warm Springs Rodeo Association is presenting a rodeo June 26-27, 1976, in conjunction with the treaty and Pi-Um- Sha Days here at the WSRA arena. The major events will include saddle bronc, bareback, bull riding, calf roping, wild cow milking, team roping and the girls barrel racing. An added event will be the wild horse race. Indian water rights discussed The Water Board, at a meeting held on June 3, 1976, dis cussed matters regarding the Indian water rights here in the Northwest. One of the main concerns was the United States Geological Survey that has been completed here on the reser vation. They are now working on the next phase, which is the need and use of the waters here on the reservation. Working closely with the Tribal Council, the W-B has been in contact with various hydrologists on matters relating to the present need for utilizing the resource here on the reservation. Studies should be made for the present mill site, the domes tic use of water around the Warm Springs area and for all other areas. It was suggested that a study be made for the Simnasho area water supply which needs immediate attention for do mestic use and for fire protection.

'I be choice of plants, spacing and maintenance are crucial ele nienis in any defensible space land scaping plan. Tips for a Lire-safe Landscape ( reaie a defensible space periin eier by ihinning trees and brush wiihin 30 feet around your home. Bcvond 30 feel, remove dead wood, debris and low tree branches. 1 .liminate small trees and plants growing under trees. They allow ground fires to jump into tree crowp s. Space trees 30 feet apari and prune lo a heighl of 8 to 10 teet. Place shrubs at least 20 feet from any structures and prune regularly. Plant the most drought tolerant vegetation within three feet of your 'home and adjacent to structures to prevent ignition. Provide at least a 10 to 15 foot separation between islands of shrubs and plant groups to effectively break up continuity of vegetation. Landscape your property with fire-resistant plants and vegetation to prevent fire from spreading quickly. Choose Fire Resistant Materi als Check your local nursery or county extension service for advice on fire resistant plants that are suited for your environment. Create fire-safe zones with stone walls, patios, swimming pools, decks and roadways. Use rock, mulch, flower beds and gardens as ground cover for bare spaces and as effective firebreaks. There are no "fire-proof" plants. Select high moisture plants that grow close to the ground and have a low sap or resin content. Choose plant species that resist ignition such as rockrose, iccplant and aloe. Lire-resistant shrubs include hedging roses, bush honeysuckles, currant, cotoncaster, sumac and shrub apples. Plant hardwood, maple, poplar and cherry trees that are less flam mable than pine, fir and other coni fers. Maintain Your Home and Sur rounding Property Maintain a well-pruned and wa tered landscape to serve as a greer belt and protection against fire. Keep plants green during the drj season and use supplemental irriga tion, if necessary. Trim grass on a regular basis up to 100 feet surrounding your home Stack firewood at least 30 feel from your home. Store flammable materials, liq uids and solvents in metal contain ers outside the home at least 30 feel away from structures and wooden fences. No matter where you live, al ways install smoke alarms on every level of your home. Test therr monthly and change the batteries at least once a year. Consider install ing the new long-life smoke alarms.
