Silver ﬂ ashes darted around the stream bank before the ﬁ sh eventually took to the current and began their long journey to the Paciﬁ c Ocean. All together, eight trucks transported half a million coho — or kállay in the Nez Perce language — to the Lostine River from the state hatchery at Cascade Locks where they were reared. Tribal ofﬁ cials said it was a historic event, and the culmination of decades of work. “It is a great honor to be here and serve my people,” said Quincy Ellenwood, a member of the Nez Perce Tribal Exec- utive Committee. “We do this for the love we have of our culture.” Tribe, state bring ﬁ sh back to Lostine River By GEORGE PLAVEN East Oregonian The Lostine River ﬂ owed gently Thursday afternoon through Wolfe Ranch near Wallowa, where a truck haul- ing young coho salmon backed slowly down a gravel drive to the water’s edge. For the ﬁ rst time in 31 years, coho were released into the Grande Ronde Basin, follow- ing a ceremony hosted by the Nez Perce Tribe and Oregon Department of Fish and Wild- life. Approximately 50 people gathered to celebrate the occa- sion, marking a major mile- stone in the effort to restore a once-abundant ﬁ shery. Guests watched from just upstream of the tribe’s Los- tine salmon weir as a thick hose connected to the tanker belched tens of thousands of Driven to extinction According to tribal esti- mates, the number of coho that used to return to the Grande Ronde exceeded 20,000 adults in the late 1800s.

Watch standers in Warren- ton received a report through 911 dispatch of two kayakers beset by weather near Grays Harbor. One was able to make it to shore, but not the other. A 47-foot motor lifeboat launched from Station Grays Harbor, but an off-duty petty ofﬁ cer underway in a boat nearby transferred the kay- aker to shore. “This case illustrates the professionalism of our Coast Guard members,” Chief Petty OBITUARIES Forecasts and graphics provided by AccuWeather, Inc. ©2017 Tonight's Sky: William Herschel discovered Uranus (1781).

The Nez Perce also maintains a coho program on the Clear- water River in Idaho, while the Yakama Nation is working to restore the species on the upper Columbia. Both programs have suc- cessfully rebuilt naturally spawning coho populations, which is what Johnson said they ultimately hope to do on the Lostine. Aaron Penney, hatchery complex manager for the Nez Perce on the Clearwater River, said he joined the program as a college intern to help restore lost ﬁ sheries. Fishing is a big part of the Nez Perce culture, he said, and ties them to the land. “Over the past 100 years, we’ve seen places like the Lostine where the populations have declined or gone extinct,” Penney said. “It’s like losing part of your soul.” Off-duty Coast Guardsman to the rescue La Grande 47/62 Roseburg 52/68 Brookings 50/60 UNDER THE SKY High 8.8 ft. 8.3 ft.

Once the adults return, Johnson said they will col- lect some to use as broodstock to raise future generations of hatchery-reared coho. Some may return to spawn naturally in the river. The tribe, which co-man- ages the ﬁ shery with the Department of Fish and Wild- life , ﬁ rst broached the subject in 1996. But Bruce Eddy, e ast r egion manager for the depart- ment , said the agency was sim- ply too overwhelmed trying to preserve C hinook salmon and steelhead, which had been listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Thursday’s reintroduc- tion of coho is not only a huge accomplishment in its own right, Eddy said, but goes to show how far ﬁ sh conservation has come in recent decades. “We’re ﬁ nally getting our head above water,” Eddy said. “It’s nice to be able to spend time on something other than C hinook and summer steelhead.” W r s sn c sn sn s s pc sn c s pc r pc r c s pc s r pc s r pc Hi 51 35 28 72 29 27 84 9 85 32 37 88 88 46 84 44 63 34 59 34 37 71 68 58 39 Tues.
