Saving Water Outside Your Home

Here are some tips for conserving water outside your home.
• Use a commercial car wash that recycles water.
• Sweep driveways and sidewalks rather than using a hose to wash them.
• Raise your lawnmower blade to at least 3 inches to promote deeper grass roots which hold water better.
• Do not over fertilize lawns, which causes them to need more water to survive, and always use natural, not chemical, fertilizers.
• Choose drought-tolerant grass varieties for your lawn, such as fine-leaf fescues.
• Reduce the size of your lawns with native plant beds that require less water.
• Mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and weeds.
• Water plants in the early morning or in the evening to reduce evaporation.
• Water deeply and less frequently for a deeper, healthier root system.

Clarence Leonard Tinker, born in 1887, was member of the Osage Nation. He was the eldest son of George E. Tinker & Sarah A. Schwagerte. In 1900 he attended the Haskell Institute in Kansas. In fall 1906 he enrolled in Wentworth Military Academy at Lexington, MO. Graduating in 1908, he was commissioned a 3rd lieutenant in the Philippine Constabulary. His service with the constabulary lasted until 1912 when he was commissioned into the U.S. Army as a 2nd lieutenant. After infantry training he joined the 25th Infantry Division at Ft. George Wright in Spokane, WA. During World War I he rose to major. In 1919 he began flying lessons & transferred to the Air Corps. He was assigned to London, England, as Assistant Military Attaché, in 1926. While stationed in England he received the Soldier's Medal for gallantry. The award was given to him for the rescue of a naval officer, Comm. Robert A. Burg, from a crashed & burning airplane. Despite his own injuries, he succeeded in saving the life of his passenger. On 10/1/1940, he became a brigadier general while in command at MacDill Field in Tampa, FL. The plans he devised to protect the Panama Canal & Caribbean region became important wartime strategy. He took command of the Hawaiian Department following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Promoted to major general in 1942, he was placed in charge of the newly created 7th Air Force at Hickam Field, Hawaii. He led four Consolidated LB-30 Liberator bombers on a raid to Wake Island on 6/5/1942. Leaving Midway Island on June 6, his plane crashed at sea, killing all on board. He was the first American general to die in World War II; his body was never recovered. He posthumously received the Distinguished Service Medal. He was the first American Indian in U.S. Army history to attain the rank of major general. Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, OK, is named in his honor. The Osage Nation continues to honor him at their annual In-Lon-Shka ceremonial dance each year with a family tribute song which his family dances & sing. This is the only family song that all Osage stand for.
