(AP) — P residen t Bush last week signed into law a measure that overhauls management of marine fisheries and strength ens protections against the fur ther depletion o f dw indling stocks.

The act works to end over fishing in A m erica by 2011, uses market-based incentives to replenish fish stocks and strengthens enforcem ent of ‘Biggest Loser’ Contest Make jo u r resolution a revolution to be the healthiest yo u can be!

Supporters said the measure strengthens current law by re quiring an end to overfishing, science-based management of U.S. fisheries and penalties for illegal fishing in international waters. When Congress passed the measure, the Natural Resources D efense C o un cil said the world's oceans are in serious trouble and the legislation would help reverse their decline. E nvironm entalists hailed a provision that sets overall lim its on the n um ber o f fish that Can be caught, while allowing fish erm en flexibility in how they divide shares o f the total catch.

(AP) - A bitterly cold Saturday morn ing made for a slow start to the Nez Perce Indian Tribe's newly expanded bison and elk hunt. A handful of trucks carrying tribal m em bers cru ised the roads in the Jardine area north east of here, but nobody seemed to be hunting very energetically, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported. The hunters were primarily interested in bison, according to Cpl. April Skahan, of Nez Perce F isheries C onservation E n forcement, which enforces the tribe's fishing and hunting laws. But there weren't many bison around, except for a group of 40 grazing on the Gardiner High School football field, where they are off limits to any type of hunting. Few b ison have left Yellowstone National Park so far this winter. The group of hunters have been issued tribal tags good for six bison and five elk. According to an 1855 treaty, the tribe has hunting rights ’on "open and unclaimed" land near Yellowstone, which means they can hunt on national forest land, but not on state or private prop erty. Tribal hunters took six bison last winter, the first time in mod ern history the tribe exerted its hunting rights here. All of those anim als were killed close to roads, making the processing of the giant beasts relatively easy. Elk are secondary targets, Skahan told the Chronicle. “If they're going to drive this far, they want a buffalo,” she said. “Some of them might take an elk. But we've got elk at home.” However, it is the tribe's claim on species other than bi son that have wildlife managers here concerned. Tribal Executive Committee Chairman Rebecca Miles said in a Jan. 9 letter to Montana offi cials that the tribe intends to is sue tags this winter for 50 to 70 bison, plus 50 tags each for elk, bighorn sheep, moose, antelope and mountain goats. MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) — Im ogene Bow en, who overcam e poverty and alcoholism to become a leader in her A m erican In d ian tribe and a prominent Demo cratic party activ ist, is dead at 71. Bowen, former chair w om an o f the S kagit County Democrats, presi dent of the Washington State Rainbow Coalition and a member of former Gov. Mike Lowry's “Citi zen Cabinet,” died Jan. 5 at her home, friends and relatives told The Seattle Times. “Imogene was one of a half-dozen people you had to talk to if you were a politician headed to north west Washington,” Lowry said. At her funeral last Tues day, her son, Joe, a lawyer in Mount Vernon, recalled how former President Bill Clinton went to greet her after he finished a speech she attended in Seattle in 1994, standing just behind the rope line. “I'll always remember his people guiding him to ward my mother, saying, ‘That's her right there,’” he said. Bow en was born in Sauk and at age 10, her son said, was taken from her fam ily to a governm ent boarding school in Oregon where tribal customs and language were banned, her son said.
