The Corps has more de- mands on its water, he said, and should study al- lowing the reservoir to fill more quickly in March and early April. “They should take into account the last 50 years, look at the probability of flooding during those months, and come up with a better plan,” he said. “It’s time to adjust the curve.” Echols said adjusting the curve would require a major study that takes into account all 10 dam systems in the Willamette Basin — since they all work toward the same goals. A new rule curve wouldn’t necessarily mean more water in De- troit Lake during summer either, Echols said. In fact, it might mean the op- posite. “Modifying our rule curves would require a significant re-evaluation of basin and tributary hy- drology … including po- tential increases in flood consequences due to high- er Willamette Valley pop- ulation,” Echols said. “With this information, re-evaluating the rule curve could indicate the need to shift refill to later in the spring. This could actually reduce summer storage.” Continued from Page 1A structed in 1953, the curve sets a model for the reser- voir’s water level. During the peak rainy season, for example, the reservoir is dropped to around 1,450 feet above sea level — or 113 feet low- er than a “full” summer water level. The reservoir is kept that low so it can absorb a “100 year storm event” — a flood such as those seen in 1964 and 1996 — and limit damage to the Wil- lamette Valley. The Corps begins fill- ing the reservoir on Feb 1, and depends on spring rains and some snowmelt to reach Detroit’s sum- mertime water level of 1563.5 feet. When spring rains don’t materialize at nor- mal levels — which oc- curred in both 2015 and this year — it leads to low- er reservoir levels in the Classifieds: call 503-399-6789 Retail: call 503-399-6728 Legal: call 503-399-6791 Phone Call: 800-452-2511 Hours: until 7 p.m. Wednesdays; until 3 p.m. other weekdays 503-873-8385 Fax 503-873-8064 Email sanews@salem.gannett.com Web site www.SilvertonAppeal.com Staff President Ryan Kedzierski 503-399-6648 rkedzierski@gannett.com Sports Cliff Kirkpatrick ckirkpatr@salem.gannett.com Advertising Terri McArthur 503-399-6630 tmcarthur@Salem.gannett.com Deadlines News: 4 p.m. Thursday Letters: 4 p.m. Thursday Obituaries: 11 a.m. Friday Display Advertising: 4 p.m. Wednesday Legals: 3 p.m. Wednesday Classifieds: 4 p.m. Friday The fish problem Perhaps the most gall- ing thing for Lunski is that following the curve isn’t the top priority by late spring and summer. Since mid-May, for ex- ample, the level of Detroit Lake has been dropping, even though the reservoir is about eight feet below the rule curve. At a time when the Corps could fill the reser- voir, and create a longer recreation season, they’re not doing so. What gives? The reason, in a nut- shell, is the Endangered Species Act and a Biologi- cal Opinion authored in 2008.

The future The uncertain future has prompted the Corps to suggest marinas on De- fields and on-farm festi- vals out in rural areas? That’s where Oregon’s Bounty comes in,” said OFB Communications Di- rector Anne Marie Moss. Oregon’s Bounty is a searchable directory of over 300 family farms and ranches that sell food and foliage directly to the public. “Oregonians love farm-fresh food.

If the Corps is required to devote a cer- tain amount of water to fish, they should make up for it by taking in addi- tional water. Otherwise, the water deficit gets passed onto business own- ers and boaters, Lunski said. “Even in the years they do fill the reservoir, what ends up happening is that they let so much water out that it shortens or ends our season early,” he said. “Rather than getting through mid-September, we’re now lucky to get through Labor Day.” To Place an Ad 399 S Water St., Silverton, OR 97381 P.O.

Both Detroit Lake Ma- rina and Kane’s Marina have docks at 1,546 feet, leaving little room for er- ror with the full reservoir at 1563.5 feet. The changing climate, and increasing demands on the water, might mean lower water levels are in- creasingly likely. Lunski said he’s con- sidered it, but the starting cost would be around $150,000. It would cost even more money to cre- ate access to the lower docks. “That amount of mon- ey is not an easy thing,” he said. “Plus, it can take up to two years to get the per- mit approved.” There is some hope for recreation in the future. Oregon Sen. Ron Wy- den has introduced legis- lation that would require the Corps to place a high- er premium on recrea- tion. “We’re not going to tell the Army Corps to stop doing the things they’re doing — like flood control — but we are saying, for the first time, that they need to make recreation a top priority,” Wyden said during an interview last March. And, the Corps is cur- rently in the process of determining how to allo- cate water stored in Wil- lamette Valley reservoirs between farmers, cities, fish and, yes, recreation- focused businesses. “Don’t get me wrong, the Corps is trying,” Lun- ski said. “I just don’t think they’re thinking outside the box, or are so stuck by a few rules that keeps them from doing a better job for Detroit Lake.” Zach Urness has been an outdoors writer, pho- tographer and videogra- pher in Oregon for eight years.

However, the police must be notifi ed fi rst. Often the funeral home will call and notify the police for you. Once police are notifi ed, they will come to the place of death and assess things. They will also contact EMT to come and certify the time and that a death has occurred. Afterward, the police may phone the nearest funeral home to assist in transportation of the individual. In certain cases, the medical examiner’s deputy may also be requested at the scene to determine if an autopsy may be required. In other cases, an autopsy may not be necessary. If family wishes to pursue an autopsy, they should notify the funeral director. Is embalming required? No. Only in certain circumstances. Embalming is required in cases of communicable disease or prolonged public viewing (6 hours or longer). Most often times the funeral home will utilize mortuary refridgeration, as required after the fi rst 24 hours of death.
