Tour goes into Warm Springs forest The annual timber tour, co sponored by the Tribal Timber Committee and BIA forestry, covered a variety of activities out in the woods which makes it more interesting. To start things off on September 1 2, 1 989, the group made a stop at the Cold Turkey Logging unit. Then made their way up to the Cabin and North Badger areas. Other areas covered during the first day were the Vantage Logging Unit and the Willow creek area. On the second day, the bus went to the Tenino Bench area to view some tree thinning projects in that area, after that they made their way to view some Mistletoe infested areas. From there they went to the Twin Butte timber sale. The tour concluded with the group visiting the Metolius Bench logging sale. There were many different kinds of problems and concerns from the group who were on the tour, but to solve one thing there is always a sticker for someone else. So it seems as though everyone is never satisfied with whatever is done out in the woods. For instance, some say that all the brush should be piled and burned while some believe it's a better method to broadcast burn the area after logging. Like it was mentioned before that no one has all the answers to please eve ryone. Brush piling and burning leaves a much neater area after the logging crews have moved on, where broadcast burning leaves quite a mess in the woods as one person put it. It also burns out small trees that have been growing for the past IS to 20 years where it makes it Oil spill victims voice opinions on radio show Last spring, when ten and one half gallons of crude gushed into Alaska waters, it was a national disaster. But, for Alaska Natives, who depend on their harvest from Prince William Sound, it was as if someone had dumped oil on their dinner table. Villagers, hired at high wages by Exxon to work on the clean up, benefitted. But when the clean up ends, what happens when villagers face an empty pantry? National Native News joins the Alaska Public Radio Network ( A P R N ) and American Public Radio (APR) in presenting the "Alaska Oil Spill: A Nationwide call-in". This special program will look at the unprecedented spill and clean up effott in some of the world's most beautiful and rich subsistence areas. Listeners will hear from those directly affected by the oil spill, and can call in their own concerns via a national toll-free number. Gary Fife, producerhost of National Native News, will present a special segment about Alaska Native concerns and the impact the il spill is having on traditional foods and lifestyles. The National call-in will be hosted by Larry Josephson, of American Public Radio, and Corey Flintoff, of Alaska Public Radio Network. Oil industry officials, state and national political figures, and A laskans themselves will be featured. Season extensions continued from page 1 possible. Unless there is improve ment in the wild steelhead escape ment, this will likely be the last Zone 6 commercial fishing period for the 1989 commercial fall sea son. You will receive notice by mail if there is an additional extension. ALLOWABLE SALES: The sale of scaffold or gillnet caught fish is permitted during the commercial season. Salmon (including chinook, coho, sockeye, and steelhead), wal leye and shad may be sold. Due to concerns for the resource, sturgeon may not be sold but may be kept for subsistency purposes. SANCTUARIES: All river mouth and dam sanctuaries, including Spring Creek Hatchery, remain in effect. REMOVAL OF BUOYS: Tri bal fish and wildlife committees request that fishermen remove their fishing net buoys at the completion of the fishing season in order to keep our river clean. CATCH REPORTING: In accordance with federal court deci sions, fishermen are required to report take home catch, and over-the-bank sales of salmon, steelhead, and sturgeon. You are requested to provide this information after this year's fall season. Please contact your tribal fisheries office to report your catch, or to obtain additional information on your tribe's fishing regulations. If you have any fishing enforce ment problems or need assistance or information, day or night, con tact the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fisheries Enforcement Office, 4270 Westcliff Dr., Hood River, OR., (503) 386-6363.

The mistletoe infested areas cause problems and thrive in warmer climates. One of the best methods of handling this problem is to cut them out and burn them as they spread the disease quite easily. The bees were very thick out in the woods this year where it was uncomfortable to be out side with the fear of being stung. The bees got a lot of respect from everyone who was on tour. There were plenty of questions in several areas regarding the methods of working in the woods, like, why tree thinning, why clear cut and many other questions re garding the timber in certain parts of the reservation. Testing plots were also visited where cones from species of var ious parts of the reservation were planted to see how well they did or what type of trees do the best in that area. The cones were taken from superior trees throughout the reservation. These trees are those that have a band around them and are painted that you see all over the reservation. With cooperation with the National Forest, cones have been brought in and planted here in our test plots and cones from here have been sent out to their test plots to see how well they do out there. It's interesting to see so many different projects taking place in our forests all the time and during these tours a person can see for himself what it happening. It was a little dusty and plenty of bees, but everyone got through the tour in good shape.

Hunters planning to bring home a prize during hunting season should begin their preparations before opening day. Tracking game demands fine tuned skills. The doctors of the Oregon Optometric Association say that your vision skills are one of the most important. Your eyes help you hunt by dis tinguishing details, focusing clearly, judging distances, detecting objects, identifying colors and seeing under various conditions. Your hand eye coordination is also vital. You can practice shooting at a range before the start of hunting season. When you practice, you may find that the rear sight on the rifle blurs, the front sight seems all right and the distance sight is good, this condition means that your eyes are in the early stage of presbyopia a natural part of aging that leads to blurred near vision. It is most common after age 40. You can correct this condition, without a telescopic sight, by using a large hole on the rear sight. As presbyopia advances, however, corrective lenses and or a telescopic sight become necessary. Optometrists suggest using a low-power telescopic sight, such as a 3-,4- or 5-power. These scopes provide a broader field of vision and the telescope focuses out on the target. Also, the lower magnifi cation allows for more accurate aiming. When you need to quickly Hoi Im aim and fire, lower-power scopes let you do so with greater ease. If you wear glasses, you may want to switch to contact lenses for hunting. They don't fog up or get dirty or wet in the rain. And they don't get in the way while you're looking through your binoculars or sighting your gun. With either contacts or glasses, be sure your prescription is accu rate. If you haven't had an eye exam within the past year, see your optometrist before entering the woods or fields. Ask your doctor to tell you hich of your eyes is dominant. Your most accurate way of shooting depends on your eye dominance and whether you are right or left-handed. Wear "hunter orange" clothing, day and night, to avoid being mis taken for game. The fluorescent color is not found in nature so it is noticed by most people, icluding those who have color vision prob lems. Yet, because most game animals don't see colors, they wont be alerted to your presence. Yellow is a good second choice in colors. Red turns to grey at dusk and should not be worn. Putting your eyes to work for you will help you fill your freezer after a successful hunting trip.
