Benefits from this change will be
the elimination of multiple place

gency protection; provision of a more
secure living situation; an oppor

Assistant Attorney, will discuss the
types of crimes that are prosecuted
in federal courts.
We would like to encourage you
to attend this workshop, not only
to help someone in their time of
need, but to strengthen yourself in
this effort to organize this com
munity into a healthy place for our
children to grow up.
We need strength as a group, to
be the shoulder to lean on, and
someone to count on, when all
seems lost and our friends and rela

anymore.
The stronger this program be
comes, more avenues will become
available to escape abuse and
violence.

Fall Chinook
1 he upriver bright fall chinook
run for 1990 is forecast to total
127.000, a decrease of 129,000 fish
over last year's total run of 256,000,
according to Columbia River Inter
Tribal Fish Commission manage
ment biologist Jean Edwards.
The forecast run is the smallest
since 1983 and isaboutequaltothe
1981-85 average return of 1 1 1.700.
Bonneville Pool (Spring Creek
Hatchery) fall chinook are forecast
to return at 33,000 slightly larger
than the 1989 run of 29.200.
Lower Columbia River fall
hatchery stocks are forecast at a
68.000 return a record low. 1989
returns were 128.000. Lower river
coho arc forecast to be down also.
"Speculation on why the runs
are low include drought conditions
svhen the young fish migrated to
the ocean several years ago and
possible poor ocean feeding condi
tions in the years these fish were in
the ocean." stated Tdwards.

Council okays
purchase of
FM license
The Tribal Council of the Con
federated Tribes of Warm Springs,
on February 7, 1990, authorized
the purchase of the construction
license of KIDD 98.3 FM, a low
watt radio frequency in Bend.
KIDD was the last remaining Fed
eral Communications Commission
license in Bend.
The purchase will allow the

States that are currently simulcast-

KWSI's current primary sales
market is in Jefferson County. The
purchase of KIDD will improve

Bend area. With the purchase of
KIDD, tribal officials are antici
pating a strong turn around in the
station' financial stability due to
the strengthened signal.
The next step for the Tribe will
be to study KWSI formatting, arrange
for tower lease, purchase or lease
equipment and rent studio space in
Bend. The KWSI sales office will
move from its current location in
Redmond to the Bend studio, as
well.
KIDD is expected to be on-air

While lower river tule fall chi
nook fish don't contribute to Zone
6 tribal fishery, they are a signifi
cant part of the total count which
contributes to the Canada, Wash

Upriver bright fall chinook con
tribute heavily to southeast Alas

and Columbia River Indian and
non-Indian gillnet fisheries.
Since Canada's and Alaska's
ocean chinook quotas are fixed

expected to increase the ocean
harvest rate of other remaining
fish, such as those destined to spawn
in the upper Columbia Riser.
