Umatilla opens
for spring
Chinook
Increased numbers of adult
spring Chinook returning to
the Umatilla River at Three Mile
Dam have enabled the sport
fishery season to open for the
first time since 1993.
Return predictions, develop
ed jointly by biologists from the
Oregon Department of Fish
and Wildlife (ODFW) and the
Confederated Tribes of the
Umatilla ‘Indian Reservation,
estimate that approximately
2,000 adults will return to Three
Mile Dam. According to
ODFW's Pendleton District fish
biologist Tim Bailey, this figure
is up significantly from pre
vious years where returns were
recorded at 1291 in 1991, 460 in
1992, 263 in 1994 and 388 in
1995.
The fishery season opened
May 25 and is scheduled to run
to Friday, June 14, with the cur
rent sport harvest goal an
ticipated between 100-200 adult
chinook.
Areas open are eight miles of
the Umatilla River from the
Rieth Bridge to the Highway 11
bridge and seven river miles
from the upper Umatilla Reser
vation boundary at Ryan Creek
upstream to the confluence of
the North and South forks of
the Umatilla River for a total of
15 river miles.
The daily catch limit is two
adult chinook and the season
catch limit is set at six adult
chinook.
ODFW will have personnel
conducting statistical creel
checks during the season to
monitor harvest. Biologists are
asking anglers catching spring
chinook who are not contacted
by a creel checker to report the
following information to them:
the date and location the fish
was caught, length and sex of
the fish and whether the fish
had any missing fins. "This in
formation will assist biologists
with developing an accurate
estimate of the number of fish
caught," said Bailey.
Additionally, any spring
chinook with the adipose fin
missing is carrying a coded
wire tag which ODFW person
nel need returned to them for
research purposes. Anglers are
asked to cut off and turn in the
snout of these fish to a creel
checker or to deliver it (it can
be frozen) to their local ODFW
office. Anglers may also call
ODFW's Pendleton District of
fice at 276-2344 or the Her-
miston Fish Research office at
567-1523 to arrange for ODFW
personnel to pick up the snout.
USDA plans agriculture survey
Oregon farmers and ranchers
will be asked to participate in
a nationwide survey in early
June by the Oregon Agricultur
al Statistics Service (OASS) to
measure 19% crop acreages
and livestock numbers. The
survey will determine how
many acres will actually be in
production this season and
how many head of livestock are
on hand. Facts are needed by
farmers, ranchers and their
farm organizations for making
decisions and this survey will
provide this basic information.
The June Acreage Survey will
also provide the basis for some
of the objective yield surveys
designed to estimate state and
national yield levels during the
1996 growing season.
Homer K. Rowley, state stat
istician fo the OASS, notes that
farmer and rancher cooperation
is the key to developing ac
curate estimates and that coop
eration in Oregon on past sur
veys has been excellent. Repor
ting is voluntary and all indi-
vidual data are kept confiden
tial, with only state and na
tional data published.
Representatives from Row
ley's staff will gather data for
the estimates through mail,
telephone and personal inter
views of a cross-section of
Oregon farmers and ranchers.
There will be 50 trained local in
terviewers collecting data from
over 3,000 farm and ranch
operators covering all Oregon
counties. The main survey will
be conducted during the first
two weeks of June with addi
tional cattle data collected dur
ing the first week in July.
Similiar surveys will be carried
on in all states.
The report on crop planted
acreages and indicated acres for
harvest, plus hog and pig num
bers will be available June 28.
Cattle numbers will be releas
ed July 19.

tact Ron Kriesel or Kent Hod-
dick at 1-800-338-2157.
M CHS group enjoys "spring fling"
By Delpha Jones
Another Morrow County
Spring Fling is over, this one to
the Seattle area, where the
group stayed at Isaquah, Wash
ington's Holiday Inn.
The group left Heppner by
Mid-Columbia bus on Thurs
day morning, picking up pass
engers at Lexington and lone.
They went by way of Golden-
dale, Washington and over the
pass to Yakima. On the first
day, the group visited Roslyn,
Washington, where the t.v.
series, "Northern Exposure"
was made.
The group also visited a
museum, some businesses and
the cemetery. Different groups
had their own plots and took
care of them. There were 25 of
these small cemeteries. The ear
ly settlers and miners coming
to this area had different burial
customs. The Italians and
Yugoslavians used especially
elaborate markers, with many
of them still standing.
Many of the graves seem to
be above ground due to the
placement of the curbings.
These also had ornate fences
and other means to keep the
livestock from the graves. Most
of the areas are cared for by
either family members or or
ganizations, except the veter
ans and city cemetery which
have perpetual care.
A quiet evening and dinner
were held at the motel in
preparation for a busy Friday
morning. The group visited
Gilman, which consists of
shops and cafes in older homes
that had been redone.
In the afternoon, the group
visited the Boehm candy fac
tory. They were given a tour of
the buildings and grounds
which consisted of a fountain
dedicated to a friend and
mountain climber of Boehm's
who was also a mountain
climber. In his youth, he skied
from Austria to Switzerland for
freedom from the army; later
he migrated to the United
States.
A small chapel was built on
the grounds for the family and
is now used for small wed
dings. The inside has paintings
on the ceiling and imported
marble statues from the old
country.
The group was shown how
the candy is made, starting
with pictures of the area where
it is first grown and then im
ported to other states. They
were also shown many molds,
like Easter bunnies, Santas,
and chocolate roses.
That evening, the group ate
at "McGowens" and later went
to the play, "The Quilters."
Saturday also found the
group busy again with a visit to
musums and the historic depot.
The depot is the project of the
Historical Society and all res
toration was done by volunteer
labor and donations. TheH it
was onto the Washington Din
ner Train, where the group had
lunch and a 3V2 hour scenic
trip.
The group enjoyed all of this
from a dome-covered car which
took the group through the
valley. They saw several large
businesses, including Boeing,
and traveled over the longest
wooden trestle in the North
west, measuring 103 feet in
height and 975 feet long. They
also visited the Columbia
Winery. Another point of in
terest was Lake Washington.
In honor of the moms on the
trip, the travelers had Mother's
Day brunch at Skamania Lodge
en route home. Barbara
Bloodsworth presented each
mother with a violet corsage
and they all enjoyed Ruth
McCabe's caramel com treat on
the way home. Door prizes
were given during the three-
day trip. The weather was
cooperative most of the time
and the rhodendrons were
blooming all through the
mountain areas. The travelers
arrived home around 6 p.m.
BMCC revamps auto, diesel programs
Seeking to attract students in
terested in national certifica
tion, the Blue Mountain Com
munity College (BMCC) auto
body repair technology, auto
motive technology, and diesel
truck and heavy equipment
technology programs are re
vamping curriculum. Repre
sentatives from the programs
reported at the BMCC Board of
Directors meeting that their in
tent is to develop curriculum
for all three programs which
will eventually meet National
Automotive Technology Educa
tion Foundation (NATEF)
standards.
One of the first changes for
all three programs will be a re
quirement for a broader level of
mathematics ability upon pro
gram entry. Program instruc
tors are expecting it to take two
or more years to make all the
changes necessary to fully align
programs with NATEF.
