Spring run numbers update
Columbia River salmon bi-
ologists have downgraded the
pre-season spring chinook
salmon prediction for the up-
per Columbia from 166,700
to 116,500 fish.
The count at Bonneville
Dam stood at 64,479 as of last
Sunday.
Biologists said a run of
81,800 upriver fish will more
than justify the catch and col-

lateral mortalities of 4,332 pro-
tected upriver salmon during the
April/May sportfishing seasons
below and above Bonneville.
They’ve said in the past that
number should be reached, with
nearly a month remaining of
counts at Bonneville.
There was no word earlier
this week whether they’ll con-
sider reopening sportfishing be-
low or above Bonneville.
Columbia River Inter-Tribal
Enforcement officers responded to
a distress call, involving a capsized
board. Upon arriving at the scene
the officers found a Warm Springs
tribal fishing crew already on the
scene, providing help.
The incident happened earlier
this month at the Wyeth treaty fish-
ing access site, six miles east of Cas-
cade Locks.
The Warm Springs team rescued
two of the boaters from the river,
and the CRITFE officers then res-
cued the third person, who was
clinging to the capsized boat.
The three individuals who were
pulled from the river were then
treated for hypothermia, at which
time the Cascade Locks Emergency
Medical Services team arrived.
“The quick and efficient response
of both the Warm Springs fishing
crew and the CRITFE officers saved
three lives,” said Jaime Pinkham,
CRITFC executive director.
The boat had capsized after
waves from the high spring-time
Columbia Gorge winds swamped
it, as the fishers were returning to
the Wyeth dock with their morn-
ing catch.
The water was 55 degrees at the
time. The boat occupants were Nez
Perce tribal members engaged in
the spring ceremonial chinook fish-
ery. All were wearing floatation de-
vices and had followed recom-
mended emergency procedures.
W.S. Extension gives advice for summer safety
The Warm Springs OSU Exten-
sion Office provides the following
Monthly Preparedness Topic:
With high heat comes a respon-
sibility to prepare and take precau-
tions against potential heat illness.
Heat stroke is a life-threatening
condition that affects the central
nervous system. It can occur in any
temperature, but is most common
in hot summer months when pro-
longed dehydration occurs.
Signs and symptoms: Red, hot,
dry skin. Throbbing headache. Lack
of sweat. Irrational behavior. Al-
tered consciousness and disorien-
tation. Collapse/unconsciousness,
and seizures.
Treatment: Call 911 and imme-
diately remove the individual from
heat and activity to a cool area as
quickly as possible. Wet clothing
and skin, and fan air to increase
cooling. Apply ice packs to arm-
pits, groin, neck and back to cool
underlying blood flow. Whole body
cool water immersion.
Symptoms of heat exhaustion:
pale coloring, heavy sweating, rapid
heartbeat, fatigue, nausea, de-
creased muscle coordination.
Treatment: same as above, plus:
Elevate legs to prevent blood pool-
ing. Rehydrate with water or sports
drinks.
