salmon management plan that

the lower Deschutes River (from
Mack's Canyon at river mile 24 to
the Pelton Reregulating Dam at
river mile I00), and what the
maximum number of boaters

salmon plan
NMFS is expected to have a
proposal on listing by the spring of
1991. That preliminary decision
would be followed by several
months of public testimony, A
final decision is not anticipated
until some time in 1992.
"The region cannot afford to sit
buck during that time and wait for
a final decision." Council Chair
man Tom Trulove said. "By the
time it comes, two spring fish runs
will have taken place. The region
also cannot allow the issue to
generate the divisive conflict that
has characterized the spotted owl
controversy," he added.
At the request of U.S. Senator
Mark Hatfield of Oregon, the
Council is working with the four
Northwest governors to set tip a
process that will bring the various
interest groups together to work
out a salmon management plan by
February 1991. in time for next
year's spring fish runs. Groups
represented in this process include
the four Northwest states, regional
Indian tribes, the Bonneville Pow
er Administration, the Corps of
Engineers, the Bureau of Reclama
tion, other federal and state agen
cies, environmentalists, sport and
commercial fisheries, utilities, irri
gators and navigation interests.
Trulove said that the important
thins to do is to involve all the
divergent interests in the basin in
this effort to seek a balanced
solution. "The energies and re
sources of the region need to be.
focused on the recovery of declin
ing stocks, and on accomplishing
this goal in a manner that is least
disruptive and costly to the region.
The development of this manage
ment plan will not supersede the
listing process. It is complemen
tary to the listing process."
Trulove said that the Council,
which itself has a charge to balance
power and fish issues, has had a
decade of experience in consensus
building. "We have found that
consensus building in the last 10
years has replaced the expensive
litigation that used to occur be
tween fish and utility interests. The
purpose of a neutral third party as
a mediator is to give the process of
consensus building the best pos
sible chance to work. We are very
happy to have the assistance of The
Mediation Institute. They have an
impressive national reputation and
extensive experience in facilitating
the resolution of major natural
resource problems."
The Mediation Institute is ex
pected to assist with communica
tion, draft ground rules, give ad
vice on the structure and time
tables of the process, and help
conduct meetings and other acti
vities. Representatives of the gover
nors participated in selection of the
mediation team, according to
Trulove.
Petitioners included the Shoshone-Bannock
Tribes of Idaho,
Oregon Trout, the Washington
and Oregon chapters of the A
merican Fisheries Society, the
Northwest Environmental Defense
Center and the American Rivers
Council.

Termites
Termites are a common problem
in Oregon. The larger dampwood
termite damages houses and other
wooden structures in western
Oregon. The smaller subterranean
termite occurs throughout the state
and is often a pest.
Dampwood termites arc scaveng
ers by nature, inhabiting logs,
stumps and fallen trees. They
invade timbers of homes where
wood is in contact with the soil or
where wood is kept moist. Their
colonics are in wood, not in soil.
The winged males and females of
dampwood termites arc in flight in
the fall, especially after early ruins
and are often attracted to light.
They are stout-wuistcd insects a
bout an inch long, with wings twice
as long as the body.
Mated individuals shed (heir
wings and attempt to find suitable
nesting sites. They are attracted to
a specific chemical produced by
wood decaying fungus long before
damage to the wood can be de
tected. Colonics contain a "king"
and a "queen," many pale colored
young and a number of large
headed "soldiers." Unlike carpen
ter ants, their galleries in the wood
often contain small fecal pellets.
Subterranean termites nest in
the soil but gain access to the wood
of homes for feeding where wood is
in contact with the soil, such as
porches and steps. They can also
gain access to wood by building
vertical shelter tubes over the sur
face of concrete.
Subterranean termites are smal
ler than dampwood termites and
theadults and soldiers are grayer in
color. Winged forms appear most
commonly in the spring. Their
galleries do not contain fecal pel
lets. Control of dampwood termites
Correct the moisture problem or
use wood pressure treated with an
approved preservative. Remove
wood scraps and wooden forms
from around or under buildings.
Replace damaged wood. If envi
ronmental changes can be made,
this termite cannot survive.

mites i The aim of all control measures

for this pest is to break the conne.
tions between wooden structures
and the soil where they nest.
Practices which will reduce the
chance of attack are:
1 . Avoid having wood of build
ing close to or in contact with soil.
2. Provide adequate ventilations
under unexcavated spaces.
3. Have adequate crawl space for
inspections. ' .
4. Remove all wood debris.
5. Pretrcat soil under house or

chemicals are or will all be re
stricted to use by professional ex
terminators. Supplemental termite control,
particularly applicable to spot
treatment in areas immediately
adjacent to homes or for colonies
uncovered in remodeling, can be
accomplished using Ficam or
Dursban LO. These are normally
.only available to professional
exterminators.
Warning
Some termite problems can be
corrected at little expense; others
require the services of a profes
sional exterminator. Be sure of
your problem first and do not be
stampeded intosigning a contract.
Get bids from several reputable,
established firms. Ask your Coun
ty Agent to identify the insects and
their damage.
