Gov. John Kitzhaber discusses forest health with the media on
August 6 at the Cache Mountain Fire Complex just outside of Sisters,
OR. Most severe wildfires are a symptom of poor forest health,
however, the U.S. Forest Service had thinned small trees from this
particular area, and though it burned, the fire was significantly
less hot and damaging than an adjacent untreated area. This also
reduced the risk to over 1,200 homes on the nearby Black Butte
Ranch.

Gov. Kitzhaber is meeting Sundance, a 9-year-old Red-Tailed Hawk,
and Chinook, an 11-year-old Bald Eagle. Sundance was found in the
wild in Arizona while she was still in the egg, and is imprinted onto
people and is non-releasable. Chinook was found injured in the wild
in Alaska; she can fly well enough to do a downhill flight in zoo
shows but, because of her injury, she can't fly well enough to be
released back into the wild.

Also on May 30, Gov. Kitzhaber visited David Douglas High School
in Portland. While there, the governor drove the innaugural run of
the David Douglas Express, a solar and wind-powered rail car that was
designed and built entirely by students over the past six years. It
will be used to transport students approximately 600 yards from one
end of campus to the other.
