velopment Account pro-
gram.
Eighteen individuals and
families have made home
purchases through the IDA
program, the majority in re-

The IDA program was
one of the highlights of the
Community Action Team
annual update this week at
Tribal Council.
One-hundred and eigh-
teen people have graduated
from the IDA program, said
Chris Watson, Action Team
director.
The IDA program is a fi-
nancial incentive program,
whereby a person can save
a certain amount of money,
which in time is matched
many times over.
The money can be used
for the purchase of a ve-
hicle or home, a home reno-
vation or improvement, edu-

“There are 35 cars driv-

that would not be here with-

Monday afternoon, July
16, off Highway 26 at
Cemetery Road.
The Ben Lane fire,
driven by the wind,
moved in the direction
of the intersection of
highways 26 and 3.
Fire fighters success-
fully worked to protect
two residences and the
Catholic Church.
Previously dug dozer
lines had been set in place
by Fire Management earlier
this year.
These helped keep the
wildlife from the Miller
Heights subdivision.
The Ben Lane fire ap-
pears to have been human-
caused, and investigators
consider the situation suspi-
cious. This blaze burned
about 300 acres.
The Mecca fire of two
weeks ago, starting on July 3,
also appears to have been
human-caused, and is suspi-
cious.
This was the blaze that
burned in high winds
across Highway 26 and
toward the Greeley
Heights neighborhood.
Investigators located a
can of flammable sub-
stance used to heat food.
Especially during high
fire season, residents are
asked to report any sus-
