Small streams such as these, said Klumph, are im portant for spawning and re a r in g sa lm o n , steelhead and trout, and contribute to maintaining the ecosystems of larger rivers and watersheds STEP is a re ce n tly created program designed to improve small streams that, over the past century, have been degraded by such activities as logging, road building, pulp mills, mining, power dams and port developments, as well as in d u s tr ia l and agricultural activities In addition, the invention o f the. c o n te m p o ra ry sewage disposal system, w h ic h tr e a ts w astes througfl chlorination and th e n d is c h a rg in g the “ tr e a te d ” w a te r in to rivers, has also had a negative impact Biologists testify that fish w ill not swim through even s m a ll doses of chlorinated water, which is toxic to them Larger doses w ill k ill them A ll these factors are p la c in g dem ands on streams and every day the need for both quality and quantity habitats for fish increase, and they are essential in m aintaining th e s ta te s fis h e ry resources, Klumph. whose STEP district te rrito ry includes the Nestucca River on the Oregon coast to Astoria, to as far east as the Cascade Mountain range, said that before w orking w ith a group the proposed pro jects are evaluated accor ding to their potential im pact on all species of fish in the stream, the environ ment. and the contribution it would make toward maintaining the resource. K lu m p h s a id th a t cooperation in the program is essential for both the o rg a n iz a tio n and the department as it is impor tant they exchange infor mation and work together.

Klumph said the coho eggs would come from the department's hatchery on the Sandy River near M ar mot Dam, and the winter steelhead from their Eagle Creek hatchery In n e xt m o n th the organization will be remov ing logjams and working with the department to im prove fish passage through an im p ro p e rly p la ce d t culvert underneath Henry Creek Road Although the prospects for improving fish runs in the area creeks appear to be good, Klumph said it w ill probably take a few years before the results are apparent Persons or organizations wishing to assist in the neighborhood group s fish enhancem ent p ro g ra m should contact Beth or Jack Baker at 622 4678 H ead S tart program tak in g applications The Clackamas County Head Start program is tak mg applications for the 1982 session, according to Tom Klein, director Head Start is a federally funded preschool program for children from lov incom e fa m ilie s Hai dicapped children may als enroll The program is at m inistered through the C la c k a m a s C ounty C h ild re n 's C om m ission Inc.
