The White River Falls Anadro
mous Fish Project calls tor the intro
duction of anadromous fish above
the White River Falls. The project, it
was pointed out by tribal representa
tives, has been endorsed by all rel
evant state, federal and tribal agen
cies. An extra assurance occurs with
inclusion of conditions to ensure that
the fish run would be protected if a
hydroelectric facility was built on
the river.
Concern was expressed by tribal
representatives regarding US. Forest
Service efforts to provide anadro
mous fish habitat protection. The
PAC-Fish process, defining buffer
strips and other stream conditions in
forested areas, does not include con
sideration of tribal treaty rights or
tribal interests .
The Pelton-Hood River project
for increasing runs on the Deschutes
and Hood River received note. A
project design will be submitted to
the NPPC to increase salmon and
stcelhead production in the Pelton
Fish Ladder for release in the
Deschutes and Hood River system.
Also before the NPPC are four
amendments for which the Warm
Springs Tribes request funding in
cluding: The Deschutes Anadromous
Salmonid Study requesting $200,000
Comment requested on timber sale
The proposed Noisy Creek Tim
ber Sale is located within the Mill
Creek and Shitike Creek Watersheds.
The proposal harvest is bounded by
Extensive Management (formally
Conditional Use) to the West, Shitike
Creek to the south, B-220 to the north,
and P-500 to the east.
Public input and comments may
be forwarded to: Bob Gill, Forestry,
P.O. Box C, Warm Springs by August
18, 1993.
Except for the No Action (No
Harvest) Alternative, the predomi
nant harvest method is clearcutting.
Projected harvest volume by alter
native is: No Action (0 Board feet);
Modified TRIM Volume (47.3
million board feet); Modified TRIM
Acres (36.2 million board feet);
Adjacency (29.5 million board feet);
Partial Landscape (33.2 million board
feet). A detail Project Assessment
can be reviewed at the Forestry Of-

Free cholesterol testing offered
Mountain View Hospital District
is again offering free cholesterol
testing.
Cholesterol is a soft, fat-like sub
stance found among the fats in the
bloodstream. Elevated cholesterol
levels increase the risk for stroke,
degenerative artery disease, heart
disease and heart attack.
Medical technologists from
Mountain View's Laboratory will be
drawing blood for the free test from
8:30 until 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday,
August 1 1 at "The Store" in Culver.
Participants are encouraged to fast
for twelve hours prior to testing. Par
ticipants will be asked to sit for 15
minutes prior to their blood being
drawn, which will be done strictly on
a first come, first serve basis. Results
will be mailed to those taking part in
the free screening. Information on
controlling cholesterol levels will
also be distributed.
This free screening is offered as
part of Mountain View Hospital
District's overall effort to improve
community health through early de
tection and prevention education
services.

tain View Wellness Coordinator, Eva
Montee at 475-3882 extension 2307.

Big game, bird hunting regulations reviewed
By order of Tribal Resolu
tion 8697, tribal fishing at
Sherars Falls is open to the
retention of steelhead only
from 6 a.m. Friday to 12 p.m
(noon) Sunday 61693,
through 93093. Chinook re
tention will be allowed dur
ing the month or uctoDeri
only.
Big game hunting regulations
were discussed at a meeting held in
the Agency Longhouse on August 4,
1993.
The recommendations for the deer
season dates are August 20, 21, and
22nd and the 27, 28, and 29th. The
season will be open the enure months
of September and October. The bag
limit of one antlcred deer per month
per family. The changes from the
1992, season is four days less in
August to hunt deer on the reserva
tion. The deer production was down
from previous years and is attributed
to the severe winter. A survey during
the fall of 1992, the herd composi
tion count was 21 bucks per 100
docs, and 49 fawns to 100 docs. The
Tribal management goal requires a
ratio of 20-25 bucks per 100 docs. So
the one bag limit should maintain
deer herds at or above the manage
ment goal.
During the discussion of the sea
son and bag limits there were some
animosity floating in the air but after
some discussion things settled down,
because there are rules people must
go by and people have to do what's in
their job description or w hat they are
told to do. There was mention of a
person getting a tag in August and
didn't fill the bag limit but could
fulfill the tag at a later date. That
would just like giving a person two
Antlered bucks per month. When tags
are returned to the Natural Resources
a new tag will be issued for the coming
month.
The Elk, the wise old "Wapiti,"
the season recommendations are from
November 1 to the 30lh, with the bag
limit of one antlcred elk per family.
The elk populations are growing in
some areas of the reservation and
stable or declining in other areas.
The quality habitat is being lost and
poaching is a real problem with some
elk herds. The length of the season
and bag limit should maintain the elk
population at or near its current level.
There are no changes from prior sea
son rules. There was some mention
of Elk herds eating all the range feed
from livestock. The livestock herds
are not what they used to be where
there a large numbers of animals in
each district but today there are just
a very few who run a good numbcrof
livestock.
The bear season recom mendations
are for August 20, 21, and 22, and
again 27, 28 and 29th. The entire
month of September and October will
be open for hunting bear. One bear
per family per month except cubs
and sows with cubs as they are pro
tected. The reservation has a healthy
population of black bear and there is
very little hunting pressure by tribal
members. There were 154 tags is
sued in 1992 with only 2 bears har
vested. The Warm Springs Indian Reser
vation 1993, bird season recommen
dations. The season set for Septem
ber 1 st through December 3 1 st, 1993.
The Bag limits arc Grouse 3 per day,
Quail 10 per day; Pheasant 2 per
season (roosters only), Chukar 10
per day, Turkey 1 per month.
Migratory Birds: Ducks, Geese
Mourning Dove, the bag limits and
season are established under the Mi
gratory Bird Treaty Act Seasons and
bag limits arc the same as federal and
state regulations. Justification: Bird
populations are most affected by an
nual climatic conditions and habitat
Hunter pressure is very light on the
reservation. Restrictions are hunting
of birds is limited to shotguns only.
