Resource Management approves projects The Resource Management Inter-disciplinary Team has re leased the 2010 Central Tim ber Sale Project Assessment for a 30-day public comment period. Timber in this sale may be available for harvest as early as 2010, but logging will prob ably occur periodically over a 3-4 year period. The proposed sale is lo cated within the Warm Springs River and Shitike Creek water sheds on the Warm Springs Reservation. The sale is being proposed to capture volume remaining in the current planning period, and to supply desirable timber and preserve jobs at Warm Springs Forest Products Indus tries. The sale was developed un der the Integrated Resources M anagem ent Plan, IRMP, project assessment process at the direction o f Resource Management Inter-Disciplin ary Team. The proposed action would harvest tree species and sizes that can be marketed through WSFPI and those impacted by overstocking, root disease, dwarf mistletoe, insects, stem decay, and older commercially thinned blocks. Two alternatives were for mulated and various types of harvests were considered for this project. The project assessment ana lyzes a harvest of 34-40 mil lion board feet of net volume timber, which approximates, the reservation-wide volume remaining within the 10-year planning period. The project area covers ap proximately 3,290 acres. Copies of the document are available through the Natural Resources Branch and com ments should be submitted to Vernon Wolf in the Forestry Branch, 553-2416, or Bill Rhoades at Natural Resources, 553-2013. RM IDT also ap proved a small project assess ment for Phase I of a pedes trian path. The path will be lo cated in the West Hills. www.wsnews.org f o r the latest Warm Springs news & events.

The eight-week Basic Train ing program included military discipline and studies, core val ues of the Air Force, basic war fare skills and principles, and physical fitness. Being recognized for ex ceeding fitness stan d ard s added to the pride felt by Kelsey’s family. But what made his gran d m o th er especially proud was that he played trum pet with the Air Force band at L ackland during his Basic Training graduation ceremony in October. Kelsey’s strong performing ability follows in the footsteps o f some members o f a well- known local family, the Macys, w ho are relatives on his m o th e r’s side, said N ancy Tailfeathers, Kelsey’s maternal grandmother.
