TIPS FOR CONSERVING WATER TIPS FOR CONSERVING WATER INDOORS •
Keep a pitcher of drinking water in the refrigerator instead of running the water until its cool • Thaw food in the refrigerator overnight rather than using tap water • Add food to your compost pile instead of using the garbage disposal • Wash only full loads of laundry or use the appropriate water level or load size selection on the washing machine • To save money on energy bills, set your washing machine to use cold water rather than hot or warm water
•
Check for leaks around likely areas because this can add up to many gallons of water lost every day • Turn off water while brushing teeth, shaving, etc… • Showers use less water than baths on average • Plug up the sink or use a wash basin for handwashing dishes • Using a dishwater only when its fully loaded • Scrape your plate of excess food instead of rinsing 7

BEAR AWARENESS & INFORMATION BE BEAR AWARE There has been an active presence of t'uu-ya~ (black bear) over the last couple months in the Smith River area. This article is intended to provide information to help reduce property damage and conflicts between humans and t'uu-ya~. T'uu-ya~ activity is normal this time of year. The best thing we can do in our community is for everyone to take precautions to minimize or eliminate the things that attract t'uu-ya~ to residential areas. Fun Facts about T'uu-ya~: •
On average, a t'uu-ya~ is about 3-1/2 feet tall (standing on all four feet) and weighs about 200 pounds, but some males can weigh over 500 pounds. Males are much larger than females. Although these animals sometimes appear to have a clumsy walk, they are actually quite agile, and when sprinting can reach speeds up to thirty miles per hour. Additionally, t'uuya~ are strong swimmers and excellent tree climbers.
•
T'uu-ya~ are omnivorous, opportunistic feeders. Their diet includes a wide variety of food sources and varies seasonally. Typical foods include berries, plants, nuts, roots, fruit, honey, honeycombs, bees, insects, and larvae. T'uu-ya~ also catch and eat fish, small mammals, and occasionally larger animals such as deer (particularly fawns). Additionally, they commonly eat carrion (dead animals). While searching for food, t'uuya~ are generally most active at dusk and dawn; however, they can be active at any time of day (observing t'uu-ya~ activity during the day should not be a basis for particular concern).
•
Female t'uu-ya~ generally begin mating at four years of age, and produce cubs every other year. The cubs remain with their mother for 18-20 months, learning to forage and hunt.
•
Over the winter, most t'uu-ya~ will hibernate in dens that they line with leaves and/or pine needles. Dens are often located in large hollow logs and trees (sometimes well above the ground). Females with yearling cubs will hibernate with their cubs. T'uu-ya~ remain in their dens, without eating, until spring. They will often return to the same den to hibernate year after year.
•
T'uu-ya~ are generally very active when winter approaches and in spring. As winter approaches, t'uu-ya~ will forage up to 20 hours a day, intent on storing enough fat to sustain them through hibernation. In spring, when t'uu-ya~ emerge from their dens, they are very focused on eating and will often travel for miles in search of food sources.
Why t'uu-ya~ lose their fear of humans:
14
•
T'uu-ya~ have acute eyesight and hearing. Their sense of smell is seven times greater than a bloodhound’s. They have a keenability to detect pet food, garbage, barbecue grills and bird feeders—and once they locate a food source, they remember where it is.
•
T'uu-ya~ are normally wary of people, but if a t'uu-ya~ finds food without getting frightened away, he may come back for more. Each time this happens, he can become less fearful— and this habituation can lead to problems.
•
T'uu-ya~ who lose their fear of people are called “nuisance t'uu-ya~.” These are most often subadult males—young t'uuya~ who have just dispersed from their mothers and are still learning how to obtain food—and mothers with young cubs.

2ND QUARTER ALL STAFF MEETING Yan’-tr’ ee-nash (Shark) Tank The 2nd Quarter All Staff Meeting at Rowdy Creek park was ASHVM! It was wonderful to see so many TDN staff together and the food was delicious! Even the weather was supportive. The team building activity 1st Place Shark Tank Winners! was a huge success. We saw em- Staff: Frank Ault, Chris Newman, Emily Reed, Hannah Richards, Troy Ralstin, ployees working and Marva Jones together with others they may or may not know or have had an opportunity to spend time with before. Even as the activity, Yan’-tr’ ee-nash (Tolowa for Shark) Shark Tank, was being explained, some looked at though they were not convinced of this idea. Just a few minutes later, every team, the audience and judges were collaborating like pros! This occasion met several, positive objectives and also many opportunities for TDN and our community: A long-awaited return to in person, social gathering and staff interaction; space to collaborate with others; freedom to be creative in a fun environment; an opportunity to share ideas and contribute to youth activities for our community and super cool prizes!!! Each Creation Team presented their Youth Activity to the four Sharks (judges) while being cheered on by the Audience. The Community and Family Wellness department paid attention and took note of all of the ideas to incorporate into future youth activities. All of the presentations were creative, fun and entertaining! Other activities presented were No-Contact Boxing, with a fantastic performance by Meng Lo and Cole Bauman. Sheryl Steinruck and her team The Misfits presented a fantastic idea of The Great Escape ~Tribal Edition~. The Creative Quilt presentation was presented by Taa-xee-ne and was a staff favorite to incorporate into future activities. Chee-yash Bu’-shri was wonderfully presented as a project to teach Tolowa language around the world in a duck-duck-goose style
game. Not to be forgotten are audience members including the very supportive Troy Padgette with their awesome cue cards and energetic encouragement. Our Sharks did not disappoint either, throwing tough questions (Myrtle 2nd Place Shark Tank Winners! Thompson!) and Staff: Andrew Brundin, Sheila Davis, critiques throughout Gloria Martinez, Tim Hoone and the presentations, Linda Ramsland reminders of the spirit of Shark Tank, Tolowa style! This all staff meeting was a great opportunity for all departments to gather in a creative and social atmosphere of friendly competition and collaboration and friendship. If you or anyone you know is interested in assisting with Tolowa Dee-ni’ activities, please reach out to Community and Family Wellness at 707-487-9255 and apply to become an activity specialist. The process is simple and the pay is generous. Sharing knowledge of both cultural and non -traditional practices is a great way to keep the Tolowa culture alive and the ben3rd Place Shark Tank Winners! efits to our community are Staff: Brandie Jordan, Jose Tercilla, Jalea priceless!

As of April 14, 2022, nicotine not made from tobacco is subject to the same regulations as tobacco products. The FDA has the authority to regulate tobacco products, but the law used to define a tobacco product as “any product made or derived from tobacco that is intended for human consumption.” This has allowed vaping companies to switch to synthetic nicotine and get around regulations meant to protect youth. Now, the law makes it clear that the FDA can regulate nicotine from any source. Congress included the change in the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022, which the president signed into law on March 15th .1
