In May, as part of Portland General Electric Volunteer
Power Days, Warm Springs resident Jered Moses helped
spruce up the Jefferson County Fairgrounds. Moses is a
PGE employee who works in hydro maintenance at the
company’s Pelton-Round Butte project. Volunteer Power
Days is a program of PGE and its employees celebrating
the company’s independence from Enron, and it’s a way
of giving back to the community.

People with diabetes have to
watch their diet, even if they
take pills or insulin?
Fact. Your diet is always im
portant when m anaging your
diabetes, even in people who
need m edicatio n to con trol
blood sugar levels.
O vereatin g or eatin g too
much of some foods can make
blood sugar levels hard to con
trol, even if you are taking dia
betes medication or insulin.
It is im portant to learn to
balance diet, exercise, and medi
cation to control blood sugar.

Timber sale assessment released
The Resource Management
Interdisciplinary Team has re
leased a draft project assessment
covering the Wintergreen 2007
Timber Sale for public review.
The document was prepared
by the Project Interdisciplinary
Team to provide options for
tim ber h arvest in the Long
Ridge, Schoolie and Hehe sub
forest planning units.
Three alternatives were for
mulated and numerous logging
methods were considered for
this project, taking into account
present resource conditions,
forest health and public input.
The Wintergreen Timber Sale
is expected to yield approxi
mately 42 million board feet of
timber.
The document is divided into
sections explaining the purpose
and need for action, resource-
based indicators used to help the
technical staff analyze and miti
gate environmental impacts, and
details of the three alternatives.
There are maps showing the
harvest blocks, quick reference
tables to compare the alterna
tives, a list of measures needed
to mitigate environmental con
sequences, and the Project In
terdisciplinary Team’s recom
mended alternative.
The goal of Alternative A is
to continue current m anage
ment. Activities such as hunt
ing, recreation and cultural food
gathering would continue as in
the past. The only harvest pro
p o sed u n d er A ltern ativ e A
would be through conventional
salvage operations.
Alternative B is designed to
harvest approximately 41.5 mil
lion board feet of timber from
approximately 3,300 acres.
Alternative C is designed to
harvest approximately 42.8 mil
lion board feet of timber from
approximately 4,000 acres.
The three alternatives would
have varying impacts on water,
fish, wildlife, cultural, timber,
range, soil and economic re
sources and there would also be
some changes to the transpor
tation system.
All of these impacts are ex
plained in the project assess
ment.
Once the allowable cut has
been reached for 2007, any re
maining volume associated with
this project will be harvested in
future years.
The actual volume to be har
vested under the project w ill
depend on which alternative is
selected subject to approval by
the Confederated Tribes.
The tribal public has been
involved in the planning process
for the Wintergreen Timber Sale
o ver the cou rse o f several
months. Scoping meetings were
held during 2005 for the Agency
and Seekseequa districts (July
11) and Simnasho District (July
13) to solicit tribal member in
put on the proposed project.
Comments received during the
scoping process are used to
identify issues that are relevant
to Wintergreen Timber Sale. A
summary of the comments is on
file in the Forestry administra
tion office.
For more information or cop
ies o f the documents contact
Matt Jimenez in the Forestry
Branch, or call 553-2416.
Tribal members have 30 days
to comment on the proposed
sale.
