Clark County reinforces fish
protection measures
At a Septem ber 16th w ork ses
sion, the Board ofC lark County C om
m issioners approved a new fish pro
tection and inform ation program for
Lucia Falls and M oulton Falls re
gional parks on the East Fork o f the
Lewis River. The program , w hich
underscores the comm issioners ’ com
m itm ent to enforce current sw im
m ing restrictions at the parks, is ef
fective im m ediately.
Som e areas o f Lucia Falls and
M oulton Falls parks are closed to
sw im m ing to protect fish; these areas
are clearly posted. The program
approved by the com m issioners is
aim ed at further ensuring fish protec
tion by heightening enforcem ent o f
the posted sw im m ing regulation and
by providing the public with infor
m ation about how to avoid negative
im pacts on the fish.
To reinforce the importance ot the
sw im m ing regulations, the new pro
gram calls for:
* Reassignm ent ofexisting staffto
Lucia and M oulton Falls Regional
Parks;
♦Increased patrols by the park
caretakers;
♦Increased sheriff patrols; and
* Increased security to enforce park
rules.
Fish protection has becom e an
increased concern since the N ational
M arin e F ish erie s S erv ice listed
Low er C olum bia sum m er steelhead
as a threatened species under the
Endangered Species A ct (ESA ) in
March 1998.
The East Fork o f the Lewis River
and Lucia Falls provide prim e sum
m er steelhead habitat, including
spawning beds and adult fish resting
areas.

Volunteers Raise Money for
United Way
Local volunteers are currently out
in force, raising money for United
Way o fth e C olum bia-W illam ette's
1998 fund-raising drive.
1 his group o f nearly 40 loaned
executives included Northwest Port
land resident C arolyn Scott.
1 he loaned executives serve as
United W a y 's sales force. They
explain how U nited W ay and its
partner agencies help the com m u
nity to the em ployees o f about 3,000
companies that run United Way cam
paigns. They also collect contribu
tions and have helped create three
years o f cam paign increases, m ov
ing U nited W ay o f the C olum bia-
Willamette past the $20 million mark
in 1997.
United Way has been able to in-
crease its funding to agency pro
grams by an average ol 5“ o over the
last three years because ol these cam
paign increases and continued low
overhead expenses. Loaned execu
tives help keep United Way s over
head costs at 15% because com pa
nies continue to pay their salary and
expenses. This means that more
money is reaching the com m unity to
help strengthen families, invest in
children and youth, enhance senior
independence, and meet em ergency
needs.
United W ay o f the C olum bia-
W illam ette is the largest fund-rais
ing organization for health and hu
man services in the local area. It
funds 155 program s at more than
100 agencies in C lackam as, M ult

Senator Qutub questions Kitzhaber figures
State Senator Eileen Q utub, Chair
o fth e Senate Special com m ittee on
Prison Siting, questioned figures re
leased by G overnor K itzhaber on the
cost o f constructions delays for the
W om en’s Prison & Intake Center.
"The projected cost o t $9 million
for delaying prison construction is
misleading at best, stated Senator
Eileen Q utub (R-Beaverton).
"There are m any good reasons for
us to continue our com m ittee work
process on this issue since there are
now several com m unities (nine cit
ies and one county) in O regon that
have expressed interest in locating
the prison in their areas."
The costs o f construction in these
communities may be much low er than
siting a prison within the urban grow th
boundary o fth e Portland m etropoli
tan area. The $9 million cost as
sum es a five-percent rate ot infla
tion, w hich is debatable. History has
show n that when the econom y or
stock market is declining, construc
tion costs are reduced and often cor
related.
"T he state cannot start construc
tion immediately in W ilsonville at
either site,” contends Qutub. "T he
Day Road site needs additional au
thorization and the Damm asch site
continues to be tied up in litigation.
No bond merchant is going to place
Certificates o f Participation bonds
on the market for a project that has a
cloud o f litigation hanging over it."
The D epartm ent o f A dm inistra
tive Services will not sell bonds to
finance construction at D am m asch
because o f litigation. The D epart
m ent o f C orrections has not re
quested that the bond sales proceed
but has asked the E m ergency Board
for perm ission to refinance the ex
isting debt. These circum stances
m ake it im possible to begin co n
struction before or after O ctober
1st.
“All things considered, it is not
prudent for G overnor K itzhaber to
authorize construction beginning in
tw o weeks since there is no m oney,"
stated Qutub. “To suggest otherw ise
is irresponsible m anagem ent o f the
taxpayer’s m oney."
