Terminals, the company that
has proposed building the
terminal at Cherry Point just
south of the Canadian border,
did not immediately return
calls for comment regarding
the environmental impacts of
the terminal.
Supporters say the proj-
ects would create jobs and
generate revenue for local
governments. They also say
exporting large amounts of
coal to Asia would have a
negligible effect on global
greenhouse gas emissions.
At each stop on the
totem pole route, the tribe
will present the pole to the
community at a meeting with
environmental activists, faith
leaders and local residents.
The tribe will offer the
totem pole to the Northern
Cheyenne Nation at Otter
Creek in Montana. That
tribe will then take over
the pole and will take it on
another three-week journey
to oppose the coal expansion.
Afterward, it will be placed
upright at a totem pole raising
ceremony on the Cheyenne
Nation’s reservation.

Feds release extra water to
save salmon from disease
PORTLAND (AP) — Portland will spend
more than $900,000 this year in an effort to
tackle homelessness.
The Oregonian reports Mayor Charlie
Hales announced Thursday that the city plans
to get at least 50 people off the streets this
year by cooperating with Cascadia Behavioral
Health, the Urban League of Portland and the
Native American Rehabilitation Association.
The social service providers, with the help
of police, will focus on the most vulnerable of
the homeless population, with an emphasis on
African Americans and those suffering from
mental illness.
The city also plans to add a new hotline
and storage lockers for homeless people.
The mayor says more money is needed
to provide shelters, affordable housing and
mental health care for the more than 2,000
people sleeping outside in Multnomah County.
GRANTS PASS (AP) — With water
scarce in Northern California’s Klamath
Basin, a federal agency is again releasing
cool clean water into the Klamath River to
SUHYHQWDUHSHDWRIWKH¿VKNLOOWKDW
left tens of thousands of adult salmon dead.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation said
releases started Friday from Lewiston Dam
on the Trinity River, the Klamath’s primary
tributary, and would continue into late
September. Similar releases were done the
last three years. They come from water that
is shared with farms in the Central Valley.
The releases were sought by the Hoopa
Valley and Yurok tribes and Humboldt
County to prevent an outbreak of a gill-
rotting disease known as Ich, which spreads
in low, warm water. The cooler and rising
water spurs salmon to swim upstream to
spawn.
