Presentation guidelines requested
The Warm Springs Tribal Coun
cil has requested that matters con
sidered for deliberation be pres
ented in a more timely, focused and
organized manner. This is to ensure
the issues are better understood
and meetings are effective.
Please follow these guidelines in
preparing materials for presenta
tion to the Tribal Council.
1. One week prior to the sche
duled meeting date, submit one
copy of the below to the Council
office.
1.1 A summary document of
the presentation. See note
below.
1 .2 Background documents per
tinent to the discussion of the
subject.
2. The materials will be placed in
Docks
aimed at reducing conflicts m the
use of recreational parks in the
Columbia River Gorge by the non
Indian public. The new sites will be
built on current recreational parks
and non-Indian use in the parks
will continue.
Currently, fishing by treaty tribes
is allowed exclusively on only a few
sites along the River. The sites were
"in lieu" sites after traditional fish
ing areas were inundated with con
structs of dams. The treaty fisher
men have the right to fish the entire
river and have been using non
Indian recreational fishingand camping
areas during tribal fishing seasons.

Together
Interest groups and networking
are the two concepts to be emphas
ized in the'Together for Children"
program. The program for parents
of children aged 0-3 will bring par
ents together to discuss problems
and concerns they experience while
raising children.
Program coordinator Lisbet
Hornung hopes to recruit 25 Jef
ferson County families into the
program. She would like to see a
large number of teen parents par
ticipate in the "Together for Child
ren" activities.
The eight-month program is
aimed at helping families give their
children a good foundation before
they become "at risk." The pro
gram will build on family strenghths.
provide informational and com
munity resources to help parents
succeed, and create support sys
tems that allow parents to work
together.
The program, which also extends
into Crook and Deschutes County,
is funded through a $ 1 40,000 grant,
administered through Central
Oregon Community College's Head
Start Program.
The local program, says Hor
nung, will have four aspects includ
ing a home visit in which Hornung
can better know the involved fami
lies. A group meeting will take
place each month to discuss general
topics of interest to the program
participants. A specialized small
group meeting will allow concen
tration on problems with children
at a more specified age. Finally, a
monthly play group will allow par
ents to acquire ideas for working
with their children at home.
The meeting will bring parents
together to share experiences.
"Ultimately," says Hornung, "par
ents can help one another."
Reflecting on personal experience,
Hornung says, having a network of
parents "would have been impor
tant to me," while raising her own
children. Working parents often
don't have time to meet with other

Watersheds Continued
Branch of Forestry and the Warm
Springs Natural Resources De
partment to develop an integrated
(multi-use) resource and
forest management plan scheduled
for completion December 1991.
Eventually, information will be
compiled on the entire reservation,
but concern for forested areas is of
primary concern at this time.
An integrated management plan
"would provide clear direction to
resource managers and users,"says
BIA Forestry environmental coor
dinator Bill Apgar in a memo to
tribal secretary-treasurer Larry
Calica. "It would help reduce con
flicts among resources and provide
a framework for joint management
and teamwork between BIA and
tribal personnel." He adds.
"It would also provide the Tribal
Council, community and resource
committees with an excellent way
to oversee the total resources of the
torest, ratner tnan reviewing re
source plans and issues independ
ent of one another."
The plan will be developed on a
watershed-by-watershed basis. Data
will be collected simultaneously for
all resources and alterenatives devel
oped for resource objectives. Re
source values will then be reviewed
on each watershed.
This method was used recently
in the analysis of Beaver Creek
watershed. The collected data
helped Tribal Council in its deci
sion to reduce the annual allowable
cut because of the impact on the
watershed.
According to Apgar, "we want
to provide enough information to
include a full range of alternatives
for Tribal Council to make deci
sions" and "we want to have all the
resource agencies be comfortable
that all facts are there for Tribal
Council to make decisions."
Collection of data will be taking
place until September of 1 989 when
when analysis begins. A core team
consisting of resource managers
will look at all the resources and
the impacts of logging on each
watershed. Tribal Council will make
the final decision on any action,
particularly w here the team cannot
reach an agreement.

of the planning process. Their main
concern is limited staff and funding.
The Forestry office is concen
trating on field data and is research
ing "state of the art" methods of
calculating annual cuts, says pre
sale officer Rick Krause. Some
methods take into account other
resource conerns, Krause explains.
A decision will have to be made
whether to use a model, a compu
ter program or simple calculation.
Much information in the fisher
ies, wildlife and water resource
areas is already available. To pre

more data is necessary. Wildlife

watersheds.
Compromises will be necessary
in this process. The decision for
each watershed "will supply the
highest return over the long run,"
says Apgar, whether that be "for
aesthetics, recreation, economics or
water." It is important, says Apgar,
that "we establish a balance and
not exceed a limit on impact to the
watershed."
