The Siletz Community Health Clinic would like to remind parents
and guardians that if you send your child to an appointment with
someone other than yourself or other legal guardian, you will need to
sign a Release of Information.

Pour into 9”x13” pan. Sprinkle 1
small package of chocolate chips (I use
the minichips) on top.
This gives permission for another person to bring your child to appointments
and for your child’s provider to discuss his/her care with this person.
Bake at 325 F for 40-45 minutes.
If you have any questions, please call the clinic at
541-444-1030 or 800-648-0449.

people sharing their recipes on our FB.
Thank you!
Chairman, continued from page 2
aimed at saving the Snake River dams in
Washington state. The bill – introduced by
Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA),
Dan Newhouse (R-WA), Kurt Schrader
(D-OR) and Greg Walden (R-OR) – would
keep in place the Federal Columbia River
Biological Opinion, or BiOp, until 2022.
But a federal court judge, Michael
Simon (who is Rep. Suzanne Bonamici’s
husband) has ruled that the BiOp doesn’t
do enough to rebuild endangered salmon
and steelhead populations. Judge Simon
ordered a new environmental review,
which is required to include a look at
breaching the four Snake River dams. A
2018 deadline is set for an immediate plan
for operating the dams and in 2021 a new
BiOp must be completed.

Siletz News

McMorris Rodgers’ bill would effec-
tively overturn an April decision by Simon
that would require the Army Corps of
Engineers to spill more water for fish at
eight Columbia and Snake river dams start-
ing next year. The bill also prohibits 1) any
“structural modification” of any federal dam
on the Columbia or Snake rivers; or 2) any
studies or plans that restrict electrical gen-
eration at the dams without express autho-
rization from Congress. Further research is
needed to determine if this has any impact
on Columbia River Treaty negotiations.
The bill was referred to both the
House Energy & Commerce Committee
(chaired by Walden) and the Transporta-
tion & Infrastructure Committee (where
DeFazio is the Ranking Member).

Congress will reconvene for a three-
week session after the 4 th of July. While
some members are seeking to cancel the
August recess, it’s likely that Congress will
maintain its five-week recess and resume
after Labor Day.
As you can see, council is provided
critical information that assists us in
weighing in on important issues.
