An investigation conducted by BIA, Warm Springs Police and FBI law enforcement agencies resulted in the identification of the three suspects. On September 18, 1990, a U.S. District Court grand jury issued true bill indictments for the arrest of Delbert Kevin Frank, Jr., age 30; Roderick Joseph Wes ley, age 33 and Lyle Amial Rhoan, Jr.. also age 33.

The water budget is a designated a mount of water set aside at the headwaters of both the Snake and Columbia rivers. It is released each spring to increase river flows when juvenile fish make their way down stream. If it appears that changes are warranted in the operation of the Columbia or Snake rivers, the Council may amend its fish and Spilyay Tymoo Staff Members MANAGING EDITOR SID MILLER ASSISTANT EDITOR DONNA BEHREND PHOTO SPECIALISTWRITER MARSHA SHEWCZYK REPORTERPHOTOGRAPHER . .

The Council's Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program guides the ac tions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Bureau of Rec lamation, which operate the water budget, and the Fish Passage Center, which manages the water budget. The center is made up of representatives of the region's fish and wildlife agencies and Indian tribes. Trulove made it clear that the issue was not simply one of fish versus power. "The real problem is fish versus competing resources. That includes irrigations, recrea- Average call time was previously reported at 53 minutes; it is now 43 minutes.

Each received letters of thanks from Umatilla Chief of Police Leonard Cardwell. Branch holds picnic On September 27, 1990, the Pub lic Safety Branch sponsored a pic nic for all branch employees. This was a time for staff and their families to get together for some rest and relaxation away from the work site. Due to being involved in emergency services, the picnic was held behind the Warm Spring? Community Center allowing on duty personnel to attend. The pic nic was a means of showing sup port to employees of Public Safety for their commitment to their jobs, which require filling three shifts on a 24-hourcoverage basis. This small "time out" was to also show appre ciation to the employees that their efforts are recognized and appre ciated. i The Branch would like to extend a big thank you to Kah-Nee-Ta, Madras Dairy Queen, Video Vi deo and Ahern's Grocery Deli for sponsoring door prizes for this Madras High School a.m. until I0:5U a.m. The program is an opportunity for interested students and parents be reviewed tion. navmation and flood control. As well as power. It is becoming increasingly apparent that our rivers finite resources with a num ber of competing demands placed on them. If we want to be respon sible stewards of the water re source, we've got to make some careful decisions about balancing." f Young salmon and steelhead moving downstream undergo bio logical changes (smoltification) that allow them to survive in saltwater when they reach the ocean. If they do not make the journey within a specified time most biologists believe 30 days is a rule of thumb-they may die be cause they do not complete their adaptation. In addition, the longer journey increases their exposure to predators and disease. , Nature timed the journey down-, stream to coincide with spring snowmelts, which raised the rivers: and sped the fish to the sea.' However, over the past 50 years, a! number of dams have been built in the Columbia River System to' provide flood control, transporta tion, irrigation and electric power production. Those dams also have slowed and lowered flows, imped ing the downstream fish run and . increasing fish mortality. The water budget, designed to duplicate the spring freshet, is' released between April ISandJune 15. Unfortunately, for the last few years, water levels in the Snake River have been insufficient for fish survival. Only one-third of the Snake River water budget comes from water storage at Brownlee Dam on the Snake River and Dworshak Dam on the Clearwater River. Two-thirds of the water budget relies on natural snow pack and runoff. River panel The number of individual users on a segment has also been defined in the preferred alternative pres ented by the review board. The lev els of use was looked at in two ways, explains Noteboom, with a daily maximum in mind and a sea sonal maximum considered. The Board asked, "How many million footsteps can a resource see in a year," before the resource is dam aged. The Board recommends that pop ulation numbers be limited in each segment: Segment 1500 boaters on weekends (Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, holidays) and 300 boat ers on other days; Segment II 200 on all days; Segment III 200 on all days; Segment IV 300 on all days. Season limits would be: Segment 1-48.000; Segment 11-71.000; Segment 111 1 1 .000; and. Seg ment IV 23,000. If limits are exceeded, control may be necessary through a permit system. The permit system would be instituted, says Noteboom, on summer weekends only, initially. If increased use occurs at other times the permit system would be ex panded. River users requiring a permit would include boaters as well as campers, hikers and bank fishermen. More data is necessary before such a system can be insti tuted, however. A cooperative management agreement between Federal and State agencies and the Tribe would be required. With regard to the Tribes, tribal members and tribal enterprises, "there can be no limitations or charges," says Noteboom. Treaty rights include the right to hunt, fish, gather food and engage in cul tural activities. The Review Board appointed by Governor Neil Goldschmidt was appointed when the 19-member Deschutes River Management Com mittee was unable to reach a con sensus on power boat or recreation use limits for the Deschutes Scenic Waterway. The board consists of Gail Achterman, governor's assist ant for natural resources; Dean Bibles, state director of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management; Rick Allen, Jefferson County Commis sioner; and, Jim Noteboom, attor ney for the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs. Firearms displayed at High Desert Museum ' t . . .. r..i.i : Beginning with the entry of the first explorers, those who partici pated in the exploration and settlement of the region outfitted themselves in a manner that re flected their role. Carefully selec ted firearms were packed along with the miner's gold pans and scales, the adventurous naturalist's plant press, and the homesteader's agricultural implements, and other gear intended for use in the West. Over the course of the 19th century, the flintlock Northwest Gun marketed by the Hudson's Bay Company might give a trapper to receive tirst-hand information about academic program offer ings, admission requirements, stu dent support services, housing, costs to attend, financial aid, scholarships, and other informa tion important in planning for college. A general presentation on the State System will be followed by individual college sessions presen ted by representatives from East ern Oregon State College, Western Oregon State College, Oregon Institute of Technology, Oregon State University. Portland State U niversity. Southern Oregon State College, and the University of Oregon. The Oregon State System of Higher Education college visita tion program reaches almost all public and private high schools in the state. The program's goal is to stimulate good post-high school planning and decision-making by students and to provide them with an introduction to the educational and career opportunities available through Oregon's state colleges and universities. Parents are urged to discuss post-high school plans with their sons and daughters before and after the visitation program. Registration begins Registration is now open for St. Pat's Cowdeo to be held October 20 & 21 at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds, Madras. Kidsages6 14 are eligible. To register contact Kathryn Bain at 475-2130.

A miner's Colt 1860 Army revolver provided a measure of personal protection in a lawless mining camp. An inexpensive rifle from Sears, Roebuck and Co. put meat on the table for a struggling home stead family, while an expensive Parker shotgun allowed a gentle man sportsman from the city to hunt in the mountains or marsh lands east of the Cascades. The goal in presenting "Fire arms of the High Desert Frontier" is to foster a better understanding and appreciation of the important Forest conditions different due to fires, infestations Hunters can expect different forest conditions in eastern Oregon due to large-scale fires and insect infestations that have had impacts on wildlife habitats, recreation opportunities and other resources. "Hunters are going to see some changes in their familiar hunting areas because of fire and insect infestations," said Pacific North west Forester John Butruille.
