Vandalism wreaks youth workers’ restoration project A tribal Sum m er Youth project was destroyed by van dals recently. T he youth workers have spent the sum m er doing a variety o f projects with su p e rv is io n fro m L an a Leonard (see page 6). One project was a plant a n d w ild life r e s to r a tio n project at Tule Lake in the M utton M ountains o n the reservation. The students worked with tribal Natural Resources staff to transplant tule reeds to the banks o f the lake, which had been damaged by livestock. T he Oregon Watershed E n hancem ent B oard co n trib uted to the project. The plants will help to sta bilize the soil and provide wildlife habitat. The idea is for the students to return in co m in g years to see th e progress. As part o f the restoration work, the students also built so n g b ird an d w o o d duck boxes and placed them in trees near the lake. T h ey re tu rn e d to Tule Lake last week to see what kinds o f birds were using the boxes.

T h e tribal and the public housing authorities o f Jefferson County recendy received notice stating that making all housing sm okefree is “p erm itted and strongly encouraged.” The e n d o rs e m e n t of sm okefree policies was co-re- leased by the U.S. D epartm ent o f H ousing and Urban Devel opm ent (HUD), the Office o f Public and Indian Housing, and the Office o f Healthy Hom es and Lead H azard Control. The goal is to protect staff that someone, or m ore than one person, had destroyed the boxes. T he person or persons had shot the boxes, w hich lay in pieces on the ground. This was a discouraging to the students, to say the least, said Jam ie H urd, wildlife biologist who helped with the project. Anyone w ho might have in form ation about who destroyed the birdhouses should contact O liver Kirk, wildlife enforce m ent officer, at 553-2021.
