(AP) — The Bureau o f Indian Affairs plans to take control o f social service program s for the Spirit Lake Tribe fol lowing criticism that the tribe has failed to protect endan gered children, U.S. Sen. John Hoeven’s office said. The B IA in fo rm e d H o ev en ’s office a b o u t the decision last week. H oeven had called for a review o f the trib e’s social services p ro gram. “BIA’s informed our office that they will be taking over the tribal social services,” said Ryan B ern stein , H o ev en ’s deputy chief o f staff and le gal counsel. “I was told that the tribe passed a resolution today ceding it back to the BIA, basically giving it to the governm ent to run.” Federal officials have ac cused tribal officials o f re peatedly ignoring reports o f c h ild ab u se a n d n e g lec t. Complaints have come from T hom as Sullivan, regional ad m in istrato r fo r th e U.S. A dm inistration for Children and Fam ilies, and M ichael Tilus, a fo rm er behavioral health director at the Indian H ealth Service clinic in F ort Totten. The tribe had been running the programs under contract with the BIA, which pro-* vides funding. T ribal C hairm an R oger Y an k to n says m o s t p r o b lems predate his adm inistra tion.

T he decision m eans the federal governm ent will ad m inister the social services for the tribe. The tribe had been running the programs under contract with the BIA, which provides funding. Yvonne LaRockque, the self-determination officer for the BIA’s Great Plains Region, w hich includes N o rth D a kota, South D akota and N e braska, said a BIA takeover o f p rogram s it co n tracted with a tribe to administer hap pens about once or twice a year. A number of brush fires broke out on the Warm Springs Reservation in recent days. Lightning is believed to have been the cause of a blaze at Sunnyside (right). Earlier, someone apparently tossed flares from a vehicle, Igniting small fires near the fish hatchery and the Simnasho area. This was reckless, ignorant and criminal act, commented Fire Chief Dan Martinez. save endangered coho S A N T A C R U Z , C alif. (AP) — Federal fisheries m an agers on Wednesday proposed an am bitious new plan to save an endangered popula tio n o f co h o salm o n on California's central coast. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration unveiled its far-reaching res to ratio n plan at a m eeting earlier this month. T h e species w as o n ce found abundantly in streams from San Francisco south to the Santa Cruz area, but is now found only in Scott and San Vicente creeks. T he w ide-ranging, m ore th a n 2,000-page p lan sets forth detailed restoration ac tions for creeks and estuar ies, reg u lato ry an d policy changes and many other ac tio n s re g u la to rs said are needed to restore lost habitat and help the fish rebound. While NOAA’s plan helps provide a road map forward for central coast coho, imple mentation will require coop eration from a wide array o f parties, including creek-side homeowners and local watei; departments. NOAA estimated the price for the plan at $1.5 billiori spread over decades,' with a mixture o f federal and out-; side funds. W hile officials adm itted som e o f the recom m enda tions made in the plan are not practical— like restoring the urban San Lorenzo River es tuary which abuts downtown S anta C ruz and th e city’s beach boardwalk— they said diversity could be added to that habitat to help make it healthier for the fish. Jon Ambrose, a National Marine Fisheries Service bi ologist, said another key is sue is the am ount o f water being diverted to thirsty cit ies from local streams. H e said som e w ater de partments have started work ing on habitat restoration, but that many are still not work ing with N OAA. “Water is the Achilles heel for a lot o f these fish in the Santa Cruz M ountains,” he said. Howlak Tichum Flathead members to receive $10K checks PA BLO , M ont. (AP) - The Confederated Salish and K ootenai Tribe plans to issue $10,000 checks to a b o u t 7,850 enrolled tribal m em bers this week, distributing about half the $150 million it received in a settlem ent over federal mismanagement o f m oney and trib al tru st lands. T ribal m em bers started receiving th eir checks lsat w eek and banks across the Flathead Indian Reservation in northwestern Montana res ervation are preparing for the onslaught o f transactions. The tribal council is still discussing what to do with the rest o f the $150 million. Care o f the elderly, economic de velopm ent or language and c u ltu re p re s e rv a tio n are among the ideas under con sideration. Some tribal m em bers w anted all the m oney distributed to individual tribal members. The checks will be issued by Eagle Bank o f Polson and that will be the only location that tribal members w ithout bank accounts will be able to cash the checks. “I t’s been a little hectic,” Eagle Bank P resident M ar tin O lsson said la'st week. “I fully anticipate we will have m ore people than we will b e ab le to a c c o m m o d a te . We’ve encouraged people to w ait until later in the week w hen the lines m ight n o t be as long.” i T h e b ank will n o t cash checks at the drivè-up lanes and will limit the num ber o f people allowed inside at any one time for safety and secu rity reasons. Olsson said he’s concerned about people carrying around large amounts o f cash. “I f they come in and want Cash we have to accom m o date them,” O lsson said, “but if they’re going to take $5,000 a buy a car, we’re going to en courage them to buy a bank draft and n ot take that much cash with them.” I ; O th e r b an k s have said they will only cash checks fro m p eo p le w h o already have accounts and some will limit the am ount o f cash each person can obtain. Authorities offer reward in probe of dead eagles SALT L A K E C ITY (AP) — A uthorities investigating an unusual u p tick o f bald an d g o ld e n eagle killings across U tah over the p ast tw o y ears are o ffe rin g a $2,500 rew ard for inform a tio n leading to successful prosecutions. The eagles, which are pro tected u n d er tw o separate federal laws, have been found in m ultiple counties across the state since 2010. “To have this many in one place, it's unique,” said Tom T idw ell, re sid e n t agent in charge for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in U tah and Colorado. “It certainly has our attention.” Tidwell said a typical year may see roughly three eagles killed in Utah or surrounding states, so the increase in fa talities has authorities p er plexed. “It certainly looks like an uptick,” he said. “It’s always going to get o u r atten tio n whether it’s one eagle or mul tiple eagles, but there's just a lo t o f unsolved cases right now ” Some o f the birds have been shot to death, while oth ers suffered from poisoning, likely unintentional but illegal nonetheless. A uthorities d o n ’t believe all the deaths are connected, and there’s no evidence link ing th e killings to N ativ e American ceremonies. “T hese are just random killings th at are n o t neces sarily related to each other in m o s t in s ta n c e s ,” said C apt.
