E Coosb EEWA; The wgy it is Show appreciation to your military personnel By Selena Boise Management Successor .* ‘ Is spring finally here? It sure 'seems that way. This week it was brought to -thy attention that May is Mili tary Appreciation Month and as •a m ilitary soldier mom, I should have c . •known. W w ■' O u r p ast and Speaks ■present soldiers •should be recognized and appre ciated. I read this email that m ade this sta te m en t and I •thought it to be true. “Remember only two defin- ihg forces have ever offered to •die for you: Jesug Christ and the American Soldier.” One died for your soul and the other for your ’freedom. r' Well, that’s why this is the •perfect time to show how much you appreciate all the brave men •and women in your life who are .fighting - or who have fought •to keep us safe and free. • I hope that everyone is able to remember those that have fo u g h t for our freedom by thanking them in person, or ■emailing them if you have their em ail addresses. E ven mail som ething to them with your appreciation. It is a great service that they provide for us. Stop and think about the life o f a soldier, they have daily rou tines, inspections, and continu ous training and work to become •a good soldier. Similar to that o f a working person but to spe- cific standards set by their su periors. I talk to my son regularly and •he calls or sends me messages and it is truly a good feeling to hear from him. Especially if he is overseas fighting terrorists for the protection o f our country, a parent can feel pride in accom plishments like that. He is at his p o s t at this tim e though, Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. While this is the season to feel pride in your graduates and the milestone they complete in their lives, feel pride in those that have gone further and did a good thing for our country. This years graduates are feel ing a sense o f accomplishment and relief that they completed high school. And we should en tourage them to continue with an education that could take them farther in life. I am sure that they will feel a greater pride in the completion o f a college education like that o f many who will accomplish that this year. I hear there are m any o f them from W arm Springs. • R em em ber to thank your soldiers, past and present, and Congratulate a graduate because how is their time, their honor.

I’m very proud of their ac complishments. Maxine Switzler. Responsibility I’d like to let all o f you who read this paper now what I ’ve learned about the word “respon sibility.” Those of us who are young adults should realize we all live in the USA, the land o f free dom to make our own choices and decisions for ourselves. We should be responsible for what we go through in our own lives and not look for a blajme. May you all in Warm Springs have a nice, warm summer this year. Thank you.

Defensible space can save your home from fire disaster by Suzi M acy Prevention Technician ILA. Fire Management There are three zones to be concerned with when you are defining your defensible space. Zone 1 (primary area adja cent to the home) is the area of greatest modification and treat ment. It consists o f a recom mended area o f 30 feet around the structure in which all flam mable vegetation is removed. Create a non-com bustible area at least three feet wide around the base o f your home. This area needs to have a very low potential for ignition from flying embers. Use irrigated herbaceous plants (such as lawn, ground cover and flow ers), rock mulches or hard surfaces such as concrete, brick and pavers in this area. Keep it free o f woodpiles, w ood m ulches, dead plants, dried leaves and needles, flam mable shrubs (such as juniper) and debris. Try not to plant directly be neath windows or next to foun dation vents. Frequently prune and maintain plants in this zone to ensure a vital growth and a low growth habit. Enclose or screen decks with metal screening. D o not use the area under decks for storage. If you plan to keep trees in this zone, pnlne at least six to eight feet above the ground. Remove any branches that interfere with the roof or are within 10 feet o f the chimney. Remove all ladder fuels from beneath the trees. Ladder fuels are vegetation with vertical con tinuity that allows fire to bum from the ground level up into the branches and crowns the trees. Zone 2 is an area o f fuel re duction. It is a secondary buffer around the home and is a tran sitional area between zones 1 and 3. The size o f zone 2 de p en d s on th e slope o f the ground where the structure is built. Typically, the range is 20 feet (low hazard zone), 50 feet (mod erate hazard zone) or 100 feet (high hazard zone). Within this zone, remove dis eased, dead or dying trees and shrubs. Thin and prune the re maining larger trees and shrubs. Small clumps or three to three trees may be left in zone 2. Leave more space between the crowns o f the trees. Mow grasses (or remove them with a w eed trim m er) as n eeded through the growing season to keep them low, a maximum of six to eight inches. Stack firewood and woodpiles up hill or on the same elevation as the structure but at least 30 feet away from the home. Clear and keep away flammable veg- etation within 10 feet o f these woodpiles. D o not stack wood against your home or on or un der your deck, even in winter. Many homes have burned from a woodpile that ignited as a fire passes. Locate propane tanks 30 feet from the structure and keep free o f weeds. Zone 3 (outer fuel transition) is o f no specified size. It extends from the edge o f your defen sible space to your property lines. Pruning is generally not neces sary in zone 3; however, it may be a good idea from the stand p o in t o f p erso n al safety to prune trees. Prunning helps reduce ladder fuels within the tree stand, en hancing wildfire safety. Mowing is not necessary in this zone. I f you have any questions reg ard in g d efen sib le zones around your home, please call W arm Springs Fire Manage ment.
