By Dave McMechan

The Chiloquin High School
girls softball team, the
Chiloquin Queens, had a
great season this year. Two
standout athletes on the
squad are pitchers Spayne
and Jade Martinez.
The Martinez girls, who
are twins, are freshmen at the
high school, but already they
are outstanding pitchers. The
girls are the granddaughters
of Urbana “Toto” Ross, and
Dan Martinez, both of the
Warm Springs. The other
grandparents are Art Ochoa,
and Kathleen and Je ff
Mitchell of Chiloquin. The
girls’ parents are the late Joel
Martinez, and Lisa Ochoa.
The Chiloquin Queens
came very close to making
the state softball tournament,
losing the final Southern Cas
cade League tournament
game by one run.
Making it to the league
tournament was a great ac
complishment in itself. A few
weeks ago, at the end of the
regular season, there was one
spot left in the tournament,
and the Queens were playing
against the Honkers. This was
a must-win game, with the
winner heading to the league
tournament and the loser go
ing home.

Creating defensible space can save your home from fire
By Suzy M acy
Fire Prevention Tech
Fire is impulsive and unpre
dictable. It can find the weak
link in your home’s fire protec
tion design and get the upper
hand because of something that
has been overlooked or some
other seemingly insignificant as
pect.
When designing your defen

sible space start with the easiest
and least expensive actions.
Begin your work closest to your
house and move outward. Keep
working on the more difficult
items until you have completed
your entire project.
Two factors have been estab
lished as the primary causes of
a home’s ability to survive a
wildfire.
These are the home’s roof
ing material and the quality of
your defensible space surround
ing it. Use fire-resistant materi
als (class C or better) to roof
your home. Don’t use wood or
shake shingles as these provide
no protection from fire. When
your roof needs significant re
pair or replacement do so with
a fire-resistant roofing material
such as composite shingles,
metal, tile or a non-combustible
shake material.
Defensible space is an area
around a structure where fuels
and vegetation are treated,
cleared or reduced to slow the
spread of a wildfire towards the
structure.
