opened for business Monday at Warrenton,
where the Warriors defeated Seaside 15-5
in a Junior Baseball contest at Huddleston
Field.
Game 2 of the scheduled doubleheader
was suspended after two innings, with the

Odie Wilson and Little each had a tri-
ple for the Warriors. Warrenton lost a 13-7

Group of Northwest lawmakers seek
progress on Columbia River Treaty
Associated Press
SPOKANE — A bipartisan group of
21 Northwest lawmakers called on Presi-
dent Joe Biden to prioritize a long-running
eff ort to renegotiate a 60-year-old treaty
that governs how the United States and
Canada share the waters of the Columbia
River basin.
In a Tuesday letter to Biden, U.S. Rep.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers, a Washing-
ton Republican, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray,
a Washington Democrat, and U.S. Rep.
Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, led
the group urging the president to update
the Columbia River Treaty.
The
Spokesman-Review
reported
eff orts to revise the treaty, which was
signed in 1961, began in 2013 amid con-
cerns over salmon runs, fl ood risk and
electricity the U.S. sends to Canada under
the accord.
“Modernizing this treaty is critically
important to protecting our region from
fl ood control risks and ensuring we can
continue to lead with clean, renewable,
reliable, and aff ordable hydropower,”
McMorris Rodgers said in a statement.
The treaty, which took more than 20
years to negotiate, came together after a
1948 fl ood washed away what once was
Oregon’s second-biggest city, Vanport. It
provided for the construction of one dam
in Montana and three in British Columbia,
completed between 1968 and 1973, that
together more than doubled the amount of
reservoir storage in the basin, providing
benefi ts for both fl ood prevention and gen-
erating power.
Most of the treaty’s provisions don’t
have an expiration date, but half a cen-
tury after its signing, changing condi-
tions spurred an eff ort to modernize it. The
Bonneville Power Administration and the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — which
together form the U.S. entity responsible
for the agreement — began a review of the
deal in 2011 and recommended a series of
changes to the State Department in 2013.
The recommendations included let-
ting more water fl ow through the dams in
spring and summer to improve fi sh pas-
sage, decreasing the treaty’s impact on
tribal resources and updating fl ood man-
agement plans. The power administration
and Army Corps of Engineers also rec-
ommended changing a provision known
as “the Canadian Entitlement,” which
requires the U.S. to send cash and half of
power generated downstream to Canada in
exchange for the water resources.
The power administration and Army
Corps of Engineers have estimated the
value of the Canadian Entitlement to be
between $229 million and $335 million a
year, contending the treaty gives the U.S.
a raw deal. Canadian negotiators have
argued the entitlement is fair. Either coun-
try can terminate the treaty with 10 years’
notice, but neither has done so.
The letter was signed by lawmakers
from Washington state, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana.
A State Department spokesperson said
Friday the agency doesn’t comment on
congressional correspondence but prom-
ised to consult with lawmakers on the
treaty.
The White House did not respond to a
request for comment.

I saw the highest standard of health safety practices in effect
during my hygienist appointment today—much higher precau-
tions than I’d seen in a local hospital when having tests last
month. The new sanitation equipment and attention to patient
safety at Klemp Family Dentistry is in keeping with a dental
practice I consider cutting edge with respect to all my dental
needs. It’s wonderful having a world class dental practice here
at the coast, one where I can have procedures performed for
which I used to have to travel to a specialist in Portland. I have
been a patient of several local dentists in the past, but none
had the skill and, more importantly, the attention to patient
comfort that Dr Klemp provides.
