Year in review: (Continued from page 1) Third on the list of news events for 2011 is the Cas cade Complex Fires event, w hen m ore than 107,000 acres of range and forest land burned on the reservation. This happened in Septem ber, as the fires burned for several days at different lo cations. Close to 2,400 fire figh ter help ed fight the blazes, which were lightning- caused. Fires scorched 107,000 acres Firefighters mop up an area of the Cascade Complex fires. At times the flames ap proach ed very close to homes, but only one struc ture, a shed, was lost. More than 300 homes were threat ened at different times. De fensible space around the homes, and the effort of the fire crews, were credited with saving all the dwellings. “It was a m iracle no homes were lost,” said Dan M artinez, chief o f Warm Springs Fire and Safety. This year, there will be a new catego ry o f com p etition : couples. The couples category w ill consist of one man and one woman, whether married or not. The couples com petition re places the mixed team event. The four-person women’s and men’s competition remain. Participants can only com pete in one team event, but all team participants are also in cluded in the individual compe titions. The entry fee for M oving Mountains is $25, all of which goes into the prize money. The prize money per category is de termined by how many entrants there are per category. The competition is based on an accumulation of the percent age of weight loss and inches lost on the waist and hips. Cash payouts will most likely be first through fifth places in the indi vidual competitions, and first through third in the team cat egories, but organizers may change the payout depth de pending on how many contes tants are in the specific category. A $100 prize will be given to both the man and woman who lose the most weight. W.S. weigh-in Warm Springs Community Calendar Weigh-ins will be at Mountain View Hospital, from Thursday through Saturday, Jan. 12-14. The w eigh -in days at the contest’s end will be Thursday through Saturday, May 3-5. A separate weigh-in will be held in Warm Springs, headed up by the tribal wellness coordi nator Edmond Francis. The Warm Springs weigh-ins will be on the same days at the Madras weigh-ins, at the com munity center. Specific times for the weigh-ins will be announced later. Again this year, the “no yo yo rule” will be in effect: Par ticipants who finished in the money last year can only par ticipate this year if they have not gained more than 20 percent of what they weighed at contest’s end last year. Also, there is a six- week postpartum wait to enter the contest. The goal of Moving Moun tains is to challenge the entire countywide community to live healthier lives, to transform a contest commitment into lifelong habits. Participation in Moving Mountains also includes regular health and exercise programs during the course o f the 16- week event. Programs range from nutri tion classes to aerobics and swimming, and will likely be held on Thursdays. The Slimdown Challenge is organized and presented by the Mountain View Hospital’s Com m unity H ealth Im provem ent P rogram and the Je ffe rso n County H ealth D epartm ent, with assistance and sponsorship from the Madras Aquatic Cen ter and the Madras Pioneer. In an effort to inspire more businesses to get involved, the Moving Mountains committee will be putting the logo of busi nesses that sponsor teams on their full page ads at the begin ning and ending of the contest.

Their numbers have plummeted in recent years. At one time, according to CRITFC, the species returned to the Columbia River by the millions. Only 48,000 returned to Bonneville Dam in 2011. Lamprey returns were at an all-time low of 23,000 during 2010 . “Time is not a luxury that lamprey have, so we must act now,” said Paul Lumley, execu tive d irecto r for C R ITFC. “This plan represents the best of both situations.” The plan will actively address facing lamprey and will develop a better understanding of those issues. “We can’t sit on our hands and study them into ex tinction.” Today, eels continue to be a lasting part o f tribal customs. However, with dwindling num bers found by those who con tinue traveling to gathering lo cations, prepared asm is getting harder and harder to find, said Dallas Winishut with the tribal language program. “I didn’t get any this year. Part o f that could stem from other tribes who aren’t part of the Columbia River treaty tribes coming in to harvest more than their share of the eels.” The Tribal Pacific Lamprey Restoration Plan is available on the CRITFC w eb site at www.critifc.org/lamprey.
