This level calls for observance for industrial operation only between the hours of K:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. due to in creased fire danger. It also restricts power saws to certain areas.

' Partial Hootowl The follow ing may operate only between the hours of 8:00 p.m. and 1 p.m. local time: Power saws except at loading sites; cable yarding; blasting; welding or cutting of metal.

General Objective One: Conduct a listener survey for public radio station, KWSO 9 1 .9 FM, that will help to select and design radio programs that respond to the needs of the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Indian Reserva tion, Oregon. General Objective Two: Conduct a needs assessment within the tribal community and use the result to select a topic for a sys tematic, integrated educational radio campaign. The SurveyNeeds Assessment described in this report was conducted from February 17 through March 25, 1992 on the reservation. In collabo ration with the Academy for Educa tional Development (a non-profit community development organiza tion based in Washington D.C.), KWSO took the following steps to plan the project, select respondents (members of the community to be interviewed), conduct the interviews, and analyze the feelings. STEP ONE: Planned the Survey Needs Assessment 1. A questionnaire was developed (Annex 1) with questions on radio use and preferences as well as a question on perceived problems within the tribal community. 2. A joint decision was made to interview approximately 384 tribally enrolled community members within a 4 to 5 week period. 3. Four interviewers (3 Warm Springs Tribal members, 1 Yakima Tribal member) were hired and trained. STEP TWO: Selected Respon dents and "Got the word out" 1.

General Shutdown All opera tions are prohibited. Note: Where hauling involved transit through more than on a shut downregulated use area, the precau tion level at the woods loading site shall govern the level of haul restric tion, unless otherwise prohibited by other than the industrial precaution level system. Note: The IFPL system docs not apply on lands protected by ODF east of the summit of the Cascades. The following definitions shall apply to these industrial fire precau tion levels: Loading sites: A place where any product or material (including, but not limited to logs, firewood, slash, rolled tribal members. To achieve project objectives, KWSO selected from this original list all those tribal members who are aged 14 or over, and who live in Warm Springs, Ma dras, or Cul vcr, a total of 1 ,6 1 2. Joh n Anderson, Systems Analyst and Programmer with the Tribal Human Services Department, used a com puter random number generation program to select a list of 384 Tribal Members to be interviewed. Two alternate lists of 200 members each were also randomly generated as back-ups in case some of the 384 members could not be located. 2. In order to "get the word out" and contact the chosen respondents KWSO called those on the list who had telephones (only about 20 of those selected had listed telephone numbers), posted names in key lo cations on the reservation, sent postcards, announced names on the radio and publicized names in the tribal newspaper. A drawing for a trip to Disneyland was publicized to encourage those on the list to get in touch with the radio station for an interview. Only those who completed the interview were eligible to win the trip. The winner was subsequently chosen by computer. 3. Interviews were conducted by telephone when possible, but the ma jority of interviews were conducted face-to-face. To accomplish this, in terviewers visited people's homes, made trips to the Senior Center, and spent fifteen days stationed at central locations such as Macy's Mercantile (grocery store) and the Tribal Ad ministration Building at which they intercepted community members whose names were on the lists. STEP THREE: Analyzed the Findings 1 . In the end, a total of 367 enrolled tribal members of the Confederated business opportunity right here in Portland. For those of you that missed the first meeting, the session consisted of an overview of the Native American Entrepreneurs Network and some of the benefits of forming a chapter. Local participants also voiced some concerns regarding the , lack of local, culturally appropriate . training services. It was agreed to continue to search for positive solu tions to local barriers of doing busi-. ness on the reservation. In addition, , the participants filled out a survey form which will be part of a regional data base detailing all the American soil, rock, poles, etc.) is placed in or upon truck or other vehicle. Cable yarding systems: A yard ing system employment cables, and winches in a fixed position. Low hazard area: Any area where the responsible agency repre scniative (WDNR.ODF, UFSF, BI A, BLM) determines the combination of the elements, reduces the prob ability of a fire starting andor spreading. Closed season (Fire Precau tionary period): That season of the year when a fire hazard exists as declared by (I) State Forester of Orcgon,(2) Washington Department fJ i FIKu DAN5EK TODAY 1 Tribes of Warm Springs completed the survcWhccds assessment. A total of 343 (93.5) actual completions with only 24 respondents (6.5) of the total wito declined from being interviewed. 2. Similar responses to each of the 2 1 questions were put into categories and the number of responses in each category was totalled. Then, this to tal was presented as a percentage of all responses given to that question. If a percentage was less than three percent, the response was put into an umbrella category called "other." (The exception to this are the re sponses to Q. 14, in which respondents were asked to make any comment they wished about KWSO). While these less common responses are not listed in this report, they are available through KWSO, and were taken into consideration by the research team. 3. The research team met to dis cuss, in detail, the community's re sponse to each question. Together,, the entire planningresearch team brainstormed about what that re sponse meant in terms of overall community preferences for KWSO programs, problems percei vedby the community that the radio station may be able to address through an inte grated campaign, and potential dif ferences in opinion among subgroups within the community (i.e. older and younger members). 4. In an effort to learn lessons from this research experience, and guide others who may embark on a similar research effort, the team listed those things that they think helped to make this surveyassessment a suc cess. This project uncovered a wealth of information which includes the following: 1. What Warm Springs Tribal members look for in radio; 2. What they perceive as priority prob lems in their community; 3. How Entrepreneurs within the ATNI re gion. The benefits of filling out this survey are: 1. The foundation of a current data base which documents all the Indian owned business in the Northwest; 2. Your name and business will be on record for any future opportunities which come into the ATNI Regional Office.

These findings will serve several purposes for KWSO. In addition to providing a basis for designing future KWSO programs, the opinions re corded here will be used to define a topic area for a second phase of in depth research into community needs. This second phase of research will give birth to an integrated educational radio campaign. The KWSO research team is happy to share these findings with others and to discuss many creative ways in which they can be used to collaboratively serve the Warm Springs tribal community. Executive Summary of Findings Below are a few highlights from the rich set of findings, separated by surveyassessment themes. Theme: Patterns of Radio Use Ninety-eight percent of those in terviewed listen to the radio and ninety-two percent of these listen to KWSO. Most KWSO listeners tune-in in the morning hours, with over fifty percent listening between 6:00 and 9:00 a.m. Three radio stations are most popular among respondents: KXIQ, KWSO, and KTWI (in that order). While the majority of people who listen to KXIQ and KTWI listen for an estimated one to five hours per ' week (45 and 35 respectively), the majority of KWSO listeners Endurance Home Root Saturday, doom M7ih Injbt 8S9-8ZB7 Hen'm A Women ' All Indian filo-Plteh Tournament info, BBM-ltt7 Drum Contest 07, In Prlxe Honeu 04, (estimate) Drummer Pan Vara Springs, Oram i JUNE "Zrd WARM SPRINGS INDIAN RESERVATION GRAND ENTRY AT 7 P.M.
