Continued from page 1 Power Bill protects fish Inter-Tribal commissioners began work on the regional p o w e r bill. (S .8 8 5 ) la s t F e b ru a ry by p a ssin g a r e s o lu tio n c a llin g fo r amendments to protect the Columbia River Fishery. Then, from March through October, CRITFC played a decisive part in reaching agreement in reaching agreement with other fish e ry a g e n c ie s, u tility Companies, and the Bonneville Power Adminstration (BPA), among others, on the necessary fishery and treaty rights language. This language was the basis for the protective a m e n d m e n ts t h a t w ere incorporated in the bill and are retained in the act. To im plem ent the act, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana will appoint a re g io n a l e le c tric p o w er planning council, which will draw up a plan for the BPA to use in making contracts for the acquisition of power resources. Priorities in meeting regional demands for electricity must be: first, conservation; then co generation and renew able Sammie A lien, daughter o f K enny and Frances Allen, being crowned queen o f the junior court by 1980 queen Sandra Tanewasha. Freshman boys top Prineville The M adras Freshm an basketball team came to the Warm Springs Community Center January 15 to hand the Crook County Freshman team of Prineville a 62-48 loss. The game was close throughout the first two quarters as Madras led 38-35 at intermission. Things got going in the second h a lf as M adras gradually pulled away from Crook County. Fine was the high scorer for Madras as he hit 22 points for the evening, followed by Boggs with 14, Blackman 10, Fiala 8, resources (hydroelectic is a renewable); and last, other resources, including thermal plants. The plan, to be competed within two years, must be c o n siste n t w ith the fish protection and environmental qua'ity standards of the act and other laws. It must also not affect the legal rights of Indian tribes. Further, the energy demand and supply model that is used must leave enough w a te r f o r ’ h y d r o e lc tr ic generation even if demand for electricity increases dramati cally in years to come. .As part of the plan, the council must adopt a fishery program based upon recom mendations from the tribes and others. These recommenda tions cover: (1) M easures to protect, m itig a te , a n d e n h a n c e (Columbia Riyer fish and wildlife); (2) Objectives for operations and development of projects on the Columbia River and its tributaries; and, (3) Coordination, research, and development to assist anadro- mous fish at and between the region's hydroelectric dams. (From, subsection 4 (h) of the act.) The fishery program can contain, among other things, improvements of spawning grou nds and habitat, sufficient | flows for successful migration i and survival of salmon and I steelhead, and better bypass facil ities at dams for migrating fish Lawrence and Clements each had 6, Jim, Alderman and Strutz each had 2. Bates was high for the visiting Crook County freshman as he scored 14 points.

The BPA , will also structure and. dis burse the principle funds for the fisheries program. Some aspects of the law have yet to be clarified. One unknown is the extent to which th e a s s u r a n c e o f a n d “economical” power supply will detract from the fishery p u rp o se s. U nder w hat conditions can fish protection be foregone to provide an economical or cost-efficient power supply? A lso u n c e rta in is the constitutionality of a state- appointed regional council, given the largely federal c h a r a c t e r o f th e new o r g a n i z a t i o n e le m e n ts . Meanwhile, if state appoint ment is declared unconstitu tional, or if a state delays too long in p e rfo rm in g th is function, the act includes a federal appointment process as back-up.

Many problems the tribes now encounter will continue, and new ones may be added. Vigilance and strategy must not be relaxed. The act does not guarantee a new era of coexistence between dams and fish, but it does offer new obligations and processes that may help the tribes renew the once great salmon runs of the Columbia River.

Now twenty boys have already registered for participation in the new local organization. Several parents have vùlunteer- their services and are involved in training. Troop and pack meetings are scheduled to begin around the end of January according to Kalama. On my honor I will do my best To do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; To help other people at all times; To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake,and morally straight s'- _ The Boy Scout Oath Both a boy scout troop and a cub scout pack is currently being organized in Warm Springs through the efforts of Tommy Kalama and interested parents. History The boy scout movement began many years ago in 1908 through the work of R.S.S. Baden-Powell then inspector general of cavalry in the British Army. The purpose of the program was to train boys in th e e s s e n tia ls ' o f good citizenship. That purpose still remains in today’s boy scout troops. Baden-Powell had written a b o o k on o u td o o r lo re expecting it to be used by existing youth organizations. He set up an experimental camp to test his written ideas. These ideas were based on experiences in his own life including trekking, canoeing, sailing and tracking and reconnaissance. B aden-Pow ell’s theory in training boys em phasized organization into small natural groups of six or seven boys under a boy leader with adult supervision. T raining and excellence in a skill was rewarded by granting' badges and through advancement in the organization. The highest attainment in proficiency is marked by the Eagle Scout badge. ‘Most important of all in Baden-Powell’s concept of survival training was a promise made by each boy on his honor to do his best to do his duty to God and his country, to help other people at all times and to obey the scout law. Cub sebuts The cub scout program for boys 8 to 10 years of age precedes boy scouts. The cub scouts depend greatly on parent participation, it is home centered with parents guiding and certifying the advancement of the youngsters. Handicrafts are stressed to develop tool handling skills, imagination, creativity and judgement and to encourage cooperation between boys and their parents'. Girl scouts Girls are not excluded from survival training and the development of skills. The girl scout program was incorporat ed in the United States in 1915. It also originated in England through the work of Baden- Powell’s sister Juliette Gorden. The ages for girls in this organization range from 7 to 17 beginning with the brownie program. A girl may join at any Jevefc... «•. i * o The vital part of girl scouts involves outdoor living and learning about nature. Like boy scouts the girl scouts are dedicated to instilling high ideals of character, conduct, patriotism and service. The girl scout program is designed on six foundation elements; the promise and laws, service to o th e rs, tro o p management by the girl’s th e m s e lv e s , c i t iz e n s h ip , international friendship and health and safety. As the girl advances in skills she graduates from work-home activities to community oriented activities. Adults and youngsters who are interested in outdoor life and activity might find the scout program to their liking.
