Washington Governor declares Tribe, Willamina School Board at
statewide drought emergency RGGVRYHUSXWWLQJWULEDOÀDJLQJ\P
OLYMPIA
—
The
governor declared a state-
wide drought emergency on
Friday, clearing the way for
:DVKLQJWRQ VWDWH RI¿FLDOV WR
ramp up aid to deal with hard-
ships from water shortages.
Gov. Jay Inslee said
parts of the state have been
severely impacted by snow-
pack levels that have reached
just 16 percent of normal.
“This drought has deep-
ened dramatically over the
past few weeks,” Inslee said,
noting the snowpack was at
an unprecedented low.
6WDWH DJULFXOWXUH RI¿FLDOV
estimated a loss of $1.2
billion in crops this year
because of dry conditions.
$QG VWDWH ZLOG¿UH PDQDJHUV
expected blazes earlier than
normal in the season and at
higher elevations.
“The rain the past few days
is bringing some temporary
relief, however with no snow
in the mountains to sustain
us through the dry summer
months, we have some really
tough months ahead of us,”
said Maia Bellon, director
of the state Department of
Ecology.
Some water managers
in the Puget Sound region,
including Seattle, Tacoma
and Everett, aren’t antici-
pating water shortages.
“The large public utilities
have planned well,” Bellon
said. “Our projections show
that most households in

have taken drought-relief
measures in many areas to
help protect municipal water

¿VKSRSXODWLRQV
Some districts have had
to shut off water to farmers
based on seniority of water
rights. Major irrigators can
volunteer to divert their
water rights, with a cost-
sharing option from the
state — something Bellon
said is already being done in
the Dungeness region on the
Olympic Peninsula.
Irrigation districts in the
Yakima basin — one of the
state’s main agricultural
regions — are turning off
water for weeks to extend
supplies, Inslee said.
Water managers in the
basin have tapped reservoirs
two months earlier than usual.
Inslee said the state is
seeing record low water
levels in rivers, and water is
being diverted from creeks to
aid steelhead, Chinook and

regions of the state and later
expanded the areas to include
nearly half of Washington.
Boater deaths declining in Oregon
SALEM. (AP) — Seven
people were killed during
recreational boating accidents
in Oregon last year, the lowest
number in the state since
1990.
Six of the fatal accidents
took place on a river and
just one was on a lake, while
four involved motorized
boats and three were related
to non-motorized craft like
kayaks or canoes, the Salem
Statesman-Journal reported.
The numbers come from
data released by the Oregon
State Marine Board and the
U.S. Coast Guard.
A number of factors
likely contributed to the
falling number of fatalities
in Oregon, marine board
spokeswoman
Ashley
Massey said. The number
of registered motorboats has
dropped to 166,664 from over
197,000 in 1997, which likely
makes a difference.
Massey also pointed to a
mandatory education require-
ment that since 2009 has
required everyone operating
a motorboat with an engine
over 10 horsepower to take a
safety course.
“We’ve seen a nice little
decrease in accidents in that
time period,” Massey said.
“What we’re seeing is that
education is working, and we
want that to continue.”
While the number of fatal
accidents in motorized boats
has been steadily dropping,
Massey pointed out that the
number of people killed in
accidents involving non-mo-
torized craft has been rising.
Since 2009, there have been
36 fatalities in non-motorized
boats such as canoes and
kayaks and 35 in motorized
boats. Many of those acci-
dents occur on the river.

Another board member, Ken
Onstot, said displaying the

quarter of the enrollment is
Native American.
After three meetings on
the question, including one
with a pair of state Depart-
PHQW RI (GXFDWLRQ RI¿FLDOV
the board is expected to
make a decision at a meeting
June 23, the Yamhill Valley
News-Register
reported
Friday.
The idea came from
Angie Fasana, who said she
was inspired by the display

ated Tribes of the Umatilla
at Pendleton High School.
“I felt like the presence of
WKHÀDJVHQWDJRRGPHVVDJH
to students and the commu-
nity about the partnership
between the district and
Umatilla,” she said.
Fasana’s husband teaches
at Willamina High School
and coaches the wrestling
team. She is a former tribal
liaison to the board, and her
father, Reyn Leno, chairs the
