The Census takers will be placing the 2010 Census questionnaire at your door. Please complete the questionnaire and mail back in the self-addressed envelope.

People interested in working for the Census can take the employment test through March. Go to the Family Resource Center at 9:30 a.m. on Thursdays and Fridays. The allocation of funding for many programs depends on the population count for the community.

Styrofoam floats to be replaced Tribal representatives secured a pledge from the Oregon State Police that state police would not seek enforcement actions on tribal fishers using unencapsulated styrofoam floats until the fall fishing season was over. That time has come: Oregon State Police are currently removing styrofoam floats from the Columbia and will take enforcement actions against tribal fishers placing new styrofoam floats back into the river. The tribes urge fishers to replace styrofoam block fishing floats before the 2010 fishing season begins. Unencapsulated Styrofoam floats break down and harm fish and the river. Alternatives such as styrofoam that has been sealed inside heavy vinyl, closed-cell foam floats, or other non-styrofoam floats are easier on the environment. Non-styrofoam floats are available at commercial fishing supply dealers at prices starting about $8 per float. Immunization is strongly encouraged Native Americans in Oregon haven’t been hit as hard by the flu as indigenous people in other states, according to the Oregon Department of Human Services. Healthcare workers from Warm Springs have been among those who have helped keep the virus at bay. A study of 12 states, including Oregon, showed Native Americans died from flu at a much higher rate than the general population during the 2009 H1N1 season. Only one Native American has died from pandemic H1N1 flu in Oregon since Sept. 1, 2009: a woman who had multiple underlying health problems. Richard Leman, M.D., epidemiologist for Oregon Public Health, credits tribes and local health departments for their work to make vaccine available to Oregon’s native populations. On the Warm Springs Reservation, for example, tribal health staff went to the homes of people at increased risk of severe complications from flu to encourage them to get vaccinated. Through this "Knock and Talk" program, they helped many people protect themselves from the infection. The immunization is encouraged prior to the third wave of the disease, which will likely occur some time this winter. Flu shots are being given in Pod A at the clinic on Mondays and Fridays from 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m., and Wednesdays from 1-3 p.m. Patients older than 6 months can also be vaccinated in the Medical Clinic, and adults older than 18 can also get flu vaccines from the Pharmacy on a walk-in basis. Protect yourself and your loved ones from this virus that has infected 47 million Americans. Call the clinic for details, 553-1196. Council OKs regulations for non-member fishing on the reservation The Warm Springs Tribal Council has approved proposed regulations for outsider fishing around the reservation. The season begins March 1 but actually starts in most areas in late April. Season fishing permits cost $32 and allow a person, or husband and wife with children younger than age 14, to fish in most locations except for Area 2, where all people fishing need a license. The family also can camp in designated sections of Areas 1 and 2 during their stays. Daily permits cost $10 per person, or husband and wife with children younger than age 14 to use Areas 1, 3 and 4. Again, all those fishing need a permit in Area 2. The family also can camp in designated sections of Areas 1 and 2. Similar rules apply for the two-day and three-day permits that cost $16 and $21, respectively. Campers pay $15 to use the Indian Park Campground at Lake Simtustus. Some general tips: Pay attention to signs. Properly dispose of trash. Don’t damage or obstruct any waterways. Stay away from spawning areas, which are designated and marked. ATVs, motorcycles and snowmobiles can’t be used in tribal areas. Maps will be made public to help people better recognize the areas so visitors don’t trespass in neighboring private sites. Below are some other basic things that users need to abide by in each area. In Area 1 Outsiders need to stay away from the huckleberries. The fruit is off-limits to people not in the tribes. Woodcutting also isn’t allowed. Keep dogs on leashes and keep horses at home. No motor-propelled watercraft, or riding ATVs, motorbikes and snowmobiles in the areas. Bag limit: 15 trout. In Area 2 Camping, fishing and landing on all reservation islands is prohibited. Launching boats, rafts or other floating devices from reservation land prohibited on Deschutes River. Don’t park vehicles at Dry Creek Campground overnight. No riding ATVs or motorbikes. No campfires at Dry Creek Campground. No woodcutting or gathering. Bag limit: two trout; two steelhead. See regulation for other specific rules. In Area 3 Boats, wave runners, wet jets are among watercraft prohibited from landing on the reservation side of the Lake Simtustus except at Indian Park. No trespassing off campgrounds, stay in designated camp areas. No ATVs and motorbikes. Keep firearms at home. Dogs must be leashed. No wood cutting or gathering. Bag limit: There are limits on size and number of trout, bull trout and bass. Kokanee are considered part of the trout bag limit. Leave crayfish alone because only tribal members are allowed to harvest them. In Area 4 No fires allowed. Houseboats and recreational boats prohibited from anchoring, mooring and landing along the north side of Lake Billy Chinook. And Chinook Island only allows boats to anchor, moor or land from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Bag limit: There are limits on size and number of trout, bull trout, and bass. Kokanee are considered part of the trout bag limit. Leave crayfish alone because only tribal members are allowed to harvest them. Go to www.tribalpermit.com to purchase a license for Areas 1-4 or obtain details about what is and isn’t allowed as the season draws closer.
