Two wildfires recently in the area
Two wildfires broke out recently
in the region, one of them on the
reservation. The Milepost 91 fire
broke out on July 9 on the reser-
vation, closing Highway 26 for a
time.
The fire burned approximately
800 acres, and threatened two
structures. The Warm Springs fire
crews protected the structures,
avoiding property damage, said
Trey Leonard, Fire Management
officer.
Five 20-member crews were on
the scene.
Then this past weekend a fire
broke out near Highway 26 six
miles south of Warm Springs. The
Pelton Dam fire burned about 60
acres, and again required closure
of Highway 26. During this inci-
dent a 40-mile stretch of the high-
way was closed for several hours,
delaying weekend traffic.
Notice to tribal woodcutters
Public notice to all tribal wood-
cutters: Effective immediately:
Resale woodcutting permits will be
lowered from $10 to $1 a cord.
The Timber Committee made a
motion and approved this change
You may use hands or hand-
powered tools. Harvest is open
seven days a week, and fishing
hours are sunrise to sunset.
This is a subsistence fishery
as defined in Tribal Code
340.100.
The Branch of Natural Re-
sources will monitor fishers
and you must allow your catch
to be inspected.
due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
All resale permits issued between
January and July 8 will continue to
be valid. There will be no reim-
bursement for permits issued prior
to July 9.
This change is due to the tribal
organization having closed, and
tribal member employees being laid
off or furloughed.
Luther Clements, Timber
Committee chairman
A tribal fishery is open through 6 p.m. this Thursday, July 16.
This applies to all of zone 6. Allowed gear are set and drift
gillnets with no mesh restriction.
Allowed sales are salmon, steelhead, shad, yellow perch, bass,
walleye, catfish and carp.
Sturgeon may not be sold but may be kept for subsistence
use. Size limits are 38 to 54 inches fork length in the Bonneville
Pool, and 43 to 54 inches fork length in The Dalles and John
Day pools.
River mouth and dam closed areas applicable to gillnets are in
effect. The Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery closed area is
not in effect during the summer management period.
Regional drought conditions
Gov. Kate Brown has declared
a drought in seven counties, includ-
ing Jefferson County, due to hot,
dry conditions and unusually low
water supply. Brown signed hte ex-
ecutive order on July 1.
“Forecasted water supply con-
ditions are not expected to im-
prove, and drought is likely to
have significant impacts on the
farm, forest, recreation, drinking
water, and natural resources sec-
tors, as well as impacts on fish
and wildlife and other natural
resources which are dependent
on adequate precipitation and
streamf low in these areas,”
Brown wrote.
“Extreme conditions have al-
ready affected local growers and
increased the potential for fire, a
loss of economic stability, short-
ened growing season, and de-
creased water supply.”
Dynamic approach to warming up
by Alicia Oberholzer
Physical Therapist
W.S. Holistic Health
A dynamic warm up is a se-
quence of controlled movements
performed at the beginning of a
workout. The goal of a dynamic
warm up is to improve perfor-
mance and reduce risk of injury.
It is a more active approach
than traditional static stretching. In-
stead of holding static positions
for long periods of time, dynamic
warm ups incorporate faster paced
movements specific to the sport.
Incorporating a dynamic warm
up into a pregame routine can
have several powerful benefits.
Studies have shown that
dynamic war m ups in-
crease the blood flow and
transport of oxygen to
working muscles.
Research has also indi-
cated benefits of im-
proved muscle flexibility
and joint lubrication, allowing for
safe movement during play.
Dynamic warm ups have also
been linked with enhancement in
coordination, higher level move-
ments, and reaction speed.
Here are a few examples of ex-
ercises that can be incorporated
into a dynamic warm up:
Side shuffling. Jogging.
Backpedaling.
Ar m
circles. Jumping Jacks.
Walking Lunges. Skip-
ping. Squats. Grapevine.

what a dynamic warm up
looks like, check out the demon-
stration video posted on the Warm

COCC okays fall reopening plans
The Central Oregon Community
College board of directors last
week approved the college’s ‘Re-
opening Operational Plan for the
Conduct of In-Person Instruc-
tional, Residential and Research
Activities.’
The college had been closed to
nearly all in-person activities as a
result of the Covid-19 pandemic
since Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s
executive order in March.
In mid-June, the Oregon Health
Authority released guidance for the
reopening of Oregon’s colleges and
universities. Among the higher
education requirements was a man-
date for every institution to secure
board approval of a reopening op-
erational plan prior to September
1.
With the COCC board approval,
the college will prepare to resume
Your taxes
The tax filing deadline this
year is this Wednesday, July 15,
postponed from April 15.
As the date is upon us, the
Internal Revenue Service is re-
minding all taxpayers who have
yet to file their 2019 federal tax
return to file electronically now.
in-person learning across its four
campuses for the 2020 fall term
beginning September 21.
COCC plans to offer in-per-
son instruction at all campuses this
fall, along with online, remote and
hybrid options for students. To help
students find the courses where
they will feel most comfortable,
the college has updated its credit
class schedule so that students can
search for classes filtered by cam-
pus or by modality (online or hy-
brid). COCC is also prepared to
move to fully remote or online in-
struction if directed to do so by
the state.
One of COCC’s principles of
community is ‘To Promote a
Healthy and Safe Learning Envi-
ronment.’
In the spirit of this principle,
the college requires the use of face
coverings across all campuses
when in an indoor setting, or in
outdoor areas where physical dis-
tancing is not easily maintained,
unless an exception per OHA
guidelines is met.
To support this face coverings
policy, COCC will provide free and
widely available reusable and dispos-
able face coverings to faculty, staff,
students, and visitors to campus.
COCC’s reopening plans are
available via its website, cocc.edu
These plans will be updated
regularly and consistently, accord-
ing to current OHA guidance and
to remain consistent with local,
state and national requirements.
The college will also launch a
reopening website the week of July
20 which will further explain and
make accessible the plan’s details
and protocols, as well as provide
answers to frequently asked ques-
tions for students, employees and
the community at large.

The Pacific Northwest is expected to see a busy wildfire
season, and the American Red Cross needs volunteers
to help in local communities. The coronavirus pandemic
will make it challenging to deploy trained disaster volun-
teers from other parts of the country should a large emer-
gency occur in Oregon. There is a special need for vol-
unteers to support sheltering efforts. Visit redcross.org
