Mt. Tolman: Spring Season

By Justus Caudell Tribune Staff Next week the Mt. Tolman Fire Fighters will be coming back to work. The spring is a chance for firefighters to fulfill requirements, such as the annual pack-test and refresher course standard nationally for all arduous firefighters. The fire fighter also take advantage of other training opportunitieswhile writing this short article, Head of Operations Brandon Sutton was away from the office at class leaving San Poil District Lead Dusty Ensminger preparing for the crews upcoming returncatch up on under burns, and work projects. This spring, Tolman has planned burns in the John Tom drainage in Keller, along the Inchelium Highway and at Simpson Lake in Inchelium, near Johnny George Lookout in Redford Canyon, and in the Swimpkin area in the Nespelem District said Ensminger. As for project work, Ensminger noted many firefighters will be working on the San Poil Blow Down Project cleaning up units between Keller and North Nanamkin Creek. The project, which is similar to a lope and scatter project, is funded primarily by Natural Resource Conservation Sources (NRCS) in an attempt to clean up some damage of last years wind storm. In Inchelium, Ensminger knew of two units where the crew will start as well, the first in the Simpson Lake area and the second just outside of town. The Nespelem crew will continue work at Owhi that started last seaseon. Along with the routine and normal advancement training in which Tolman employees participate, Lonnie Kuehne, who works on Engine 121 out of the San Poil District, has received the opportunity to train for the entire season with an interagency hotshot development crew stationed out of Redmond, Oregon. According to their website, the crew develops firefighters into leadership roles through classroom study and real experience. In a previous conversation with Sutton, he noted the opportunity will provide Kuehne with nearly unmatched training and immersion, stating the one season for Kuehne will be the equivalent to five or more in any other position in regard to experience and learning. Ensminger too noted this as a great opportunity for any firefighter. Last year, according to Veronica Nee, Mt. Tolman Lead Dispatcher, the reservation suffered 59 human caused fires, which added up to a total of 18,200.5 acres, and 37 lightning fires, which added up to a total of 13,160.3 acres. As the season started relatively late on the reservation, Tolman was able to send a task force of engines to Montana for two weeks and a hand crew of Tolman employees and emergency hire firefighters(EFFs) (MTFC, pg 5)

In an event held Feb. 23, 2013, the Sierra Clubs Upper Columbia River Group honored the Colville Tribes with a Watershed Hero Award for their work cleaning up the Columbia River and holding Teck Metals liable. Mary Verner, of the Sierra Club and former mayor of Spokane, presented the award. Said Verner, Its truly an honor to me to be able to present this award. The Sierra Club Water Sheds Hero awards go to people who share certain characteristics.

Watershed Awards go to those who act out of love and respect for nature. Watershed heroes have the courage of their convictions. They are tenacious. Watershed heroes also are effective, and these characteristics certainly describe the Colville Confederated Tribes. A Dec 14, 2012 decision found Teck liable under Superfund law (CERCLA) for dumping millions of tons of slag into the Columbia River from locations in British Columbia, Canada. According to some reports, cleanup has been estimated at $1 billion dollars and currently Teck is spending $55 million to (Heroes, pg 5)

many years and this is the first attempt in starting something for our people, by the people. As a tribe, we are and have always been a close knit hunting and fishing community but never had an opportunity to show, share, and pass information the way our group has up to now. Dont get me wrong, Fish and Wildlife does a great job on their side but communication between FW and tribal members is not the best. I think the RBBP is closing that gap. Also another important aspect of the RBBP is education. Eventually when RBBP grows, we will be able to put more events, especially youth events to teach and show correct ways about going about things. Teach them while theyre young. We realize that not all youngsters have someone in their lives to show them how do things the correct way or no one to even bring them on a hunting or fishing trip. Thats what direction I think well move in the future. As of now the RBBP has two Facebook pages, the actual group page (Closed group, in which you have to ask to join and be accepted) and a basic page (a page just for people to like and see pictures). Our group has 645 members with over 1300 pictures. Since this page has been developed we have been able to share pictures with stories, pass a lot of helpful hunting information, ask our FW questions regarding our tribal laws, and estalish a place where elders or those who have no one to hunt for them can ask for someone to help in getting meat to their freezers. If someone gets lost, stuck, or breaks down their friends and family can make a post and theres always a rescue party ready to help. Thats basically all we are here for: to help. Our 1st Annual RBBP Big Horn Show will be March 29-30 at the Nespelem Community Center. There will be five categories (whitetail, mule deer, elk, moose, and legend). Each category will be sponsored by families. Also there is a Shed Horn Contest (also sponsored) for the most UNIQUE, and a Best of the Rez Bugle Competition. The idea of the Big Horn Show was always there, as long as the idea of the group has been. Something the people can

March 29-30, the Nespelem Community Center will feature the first annual Rez Bucks Bulls & Predators Big Horn Show. The event is organized by the Facebook group Rez Bucks, Bulls & Predators, which can be found by searching Rez Bucks, Bulls & Predators on your Facebook homepage. This month, in anticipation for the event, The Tribal Tribune caught up with RBBP manager Sean Gorr to ask about the event and the Facebook group via email. The following is excerpted from email conversation with Gorr: Rez Bucks Bulls & Predators (RBBP) is a Facebook group started in April of 2012 by a few Colville Tribal Members. This was a vision we all had for many,

Because what we have here on Colville land is amazing. Its a places where we can show what us hunters have been doing over the year, a place where our big game can be recognized and possibly documented. Something positive and fun. This is something we want every year! As of yet, we dont know how many entries we have until people show up and enter ($5 per head to enter) but hopefully we get a lot because there will be some awesome prizes.

1. Sometimes we forget to realize that a lot of companies have years of experience and scientific knowledge to preserve foods so we can have great meals in a moments notice! After all, freezing is one of natures preservatives! As we run to work each morning, how easy it would be to grab a frozen item that would be fast, but still give us the nutrition we need without going over our calorie limit!! Frozen things store well and that means less shopping and less food waste. I recommend Lean Cuisine frozen products. Some of the benefits are: portion control their nutrition information is printed right on the box; low fat ingredientsthey usually use white chicken breasts, bright crunchy vegetables and lo- fat or even fat-free sauces; easy to preparejust throw in the micro!

beans. The beans when they are green, contain lots of a substance called chlorogenic acid. Once coffee beans are roasted, the chlorogenic acid level is reduced. Why is chlorogenic acid so good? Studies that have been done with animals, have shown that it stops fat accumulation and reduces weight. Some researchers feel that it reduces glucose absorption, so you have lower glucose levels after eating. The physicians that were reviewing these studies concluded that the results are promising, but the studies were conducted with poor methods, so more work is needed to know for sure if green coffee extract is useful as a weight loss supplement. In the meantime, some of their concerns are the dosing, and the caffeine. A high intake of caffeine can cause headaches, gastric distress, insomnia, anxiety, ringing in your ears, and irregular heartbeats. Wow! My take of this is that if you want to try some of these drinks or gum with green coffee extract, make sure you let your provider know, so they can check whether your other medications are sensitive to the amount of caffeine in the supplement. As usual, my recommendation to you is that a healthful lifestyle that includes increased activity, smaller food portions for your intake and mindful eating therapy is the foundation of a comprehensive weight management program. If you have any questions, contact us as the Diabetes Program at the phone numbers below.

CBC Honors 4H Volunteers

By Justus Caudell Tribune Staff February 26, 2013 - There are only two areas in the state where a tribe works with the state for 4-H children. One was a coastal tribe and I think the program is no longer running. The Colville Tribes stand out as unique for that, said Ian Wilder at Wednesdays honoring of four reservation 4-H leaders by the Community Development Committee. I would also like to thank the tribe for always being there to help the youth of the community, continued Wilder. We do appreciate the Tribes involvement. Along with Wilder, leader of Big Goose Kids 4-H Janell Townsend, and Karen Neal, leader for the Keller 4-H Culture Club and Keller Valley Highriders 4-H were presented with Pendleton blankets for their volunteer service. Marilee Seymour, leader of the Kewa Hillbillies, which is the oldest 4-H club in Ferry County, was unable to attend. In addition to those officially recognized, Dan Fagerlie, Project Director, acknowledge Dorothy Wilders years of service also saying, Behind every great man is a great woman. Karen Neal thanked the tribe and the community both, noting how 4-H is conducive to families, noting her daughter Storey Jackson is now taking lead with the Keller club and her grandchildren are enjoying 4-H. This was a sentiment repeated by Colville Reservation-Ferry County Extension Educator, Linda Mclean: Many of these volunteers are working on their second generation of 4-Hers, she noted. The following writing was presented by Mclean: Today we come together to recognize the outstanding volunteer spirit of four amazing individuals. They are caring and committed residents of the Colville Reservation and together they have collectively dedicated 96 years of volunteer service to the enrichment of our reservation youth.

Our reservation youth live in two worldsthe traditional and cultural teaching of our people that can be comfortable and safe and the off-reservation world that can be frightening, but also has so much to offer. Through their volunteer efforts, these 4-H leaders help to bridge the gap and help our young people move more easily into the future. These leaders help to expose our young people to positive experiences and opportunities that will help them succeed as they move on to higher education, employment and adulthood. The caring support of these volunteer and mentors have inspired many young people over the years, to work collaboratively, take the lead on their own projects and set and achieve goals with confidence. It is with great pleasure and pride that we introduce and honor Ian Wilder, Janelle Townsend, Marilee Seymour, and Karen Neal; they have devoted countless hours to help educate our youth through the 4-H Youth Development Program. Volunteer 4-H leaders are a key component to the success of any 4-H program., as the leaders provide an invaluable service to youth through mentoring and by exhibiting positive role modeling. Ian Wilder, leader for the Nespelem Creek Kids 4-H, has devoted 26 years to helping club members learn about raising animals, food preservation, gardening, photography, and arts and crafts. He has taken youth on tours of the WSU campus, chaperoned during week-long county fairs and helps provide youth floats for local parades. Ian has also encouraged his club members to participate in community service activities building birdhouses and planters and providing them to businesses, tribal programs, and individuals to help beautify Nespelem and Ferry County Fairgrounds. Janell Townsend, leader for Big Goose Kids 4-H, has devoted 25 years to educating club members about agriculture through raising and showing market animalsbeef, sheep, and swine. Agriculture education is very important as it provides a vital (Volunteers, pg 5)

Colville Reservation WSU Extension Hosts Women In Agriculture Event Nespelem, WA, February 23 - Women involved in agriculture production on and around the Colville Reservation had a unique opportunity to participate in an agriculture workshop offering inspirational speakers, practical advice on how to improve management skills and networking opportunities with other women entrepreneurs. Growing Your Successful Farm Business was the topic of keynote speaker Trini Campbell, owner of Riverdog Farm in Guinda, California. Campbell discussed the challenges of managing labor, financial planning, dealing with crop loss and market instability and maintaining a work-life balance with family. This presentation was broadcast to 21 different locations throughout the state of Washington. The localized format of the conference was designed to let women agriculture producers benefit from a statewide conference without the need to travel far from home. Native agriculture producers, especially women, have been traditionally underserved by agriculture services. By hosting these educational opportunities within the boundaries of the Colville Reservation, we can help to insure that our people obtain needed information to make informed agribusiness decisions, stated Linda McLean, Colville Reservation Extension educator. Throughout the event, Linda McLean facilitated group discussions to help emphasize the take-home messages and to help keep the learning goals of the day in the forefront. For the second workshop of the day, FSA Loan Advisor, Stu Skidmore provided a hands-on exercise to help producers become better financially prepared to take advantage of an opportunity to grow an operation and also survive a downturn in the economy. This session, focused on working capital and what it means to your farm. A highlight of the afternoon session was the local producer panel. Carey Hunter, Pinestump Farm and Mariah Cornwoman, Heart of the Highlands, were on hand to discuss and share their risks and challenges with farming, including marketing options, hiring practices and how they use financial tools to manage risk.

Youth development is a priority of the Colville Tribes; the youth of today are our leaders of tomorrow. It is important to recognize the positive efforts that people put forth for the benefit of our young people and our communities. Ian, Janell, Karen, and Marilee have shown that they are truly dedicated to the positive development of our reservation youth.
