Stanger is also receiving finan- cial aid from the Colville Tribe. Tso likes to see American Indian students take active roles in visible programs to help raise the awareness of Indians on campus and in the community. Sara’s work as a student trainer certainly is such a program and Tso commented, “She is doing a real good job and really enjoys it.” Stanger played four years of bas- ketball at Okanogan High School and is thinking of trying out for NIC’s women’s team next year. She would still work as a student trainer, only not during women’s games. The school currently has Indian athletes on both the men’s and women’s teams.

Tree TAlK By Gary Martin “SPRING BEAUTY” How’s it going this month! Spring is here! Hope you’re as ready as I am. My first wildflower sighting was the beautiful spring beauty. This is also waterfall season and that’s our fun photo of the month. Do you recognize this one. This time of year is especially fun because we’re starting some new projects. While the forest roads are drying out, we get maps, photos and background info together and get ready to look at new parts of the forest. Each of our three Districts is mapped out into project areas. Each project has a date associated with it, which reflects the timing of an active timber sale con- tract within that area. Our objective is to review each project area every 15 years, in order to continually give the forest a regular “check up”. In the Omak/Nespelem District we have “Coyote Creek” scheduled for potential logging treatments in 2005. Inchelium has “Stranger Creek”. In the San Poil, we have “Keller Ridge”. There are always a lot of additional projects going on, but these are the big planning areas for 2005. We usu- ally do our field review, the year be- fore the timber sale contract date. A “project proposal” is worked up and submitted to our inter-disciplinary re- source team. The objective is to give our resource team about 6 months to look over a proposed project.
