That’s really where the challenge is. Nothing has been devel- oped right now that causes complete eradication in a large water body.” The filter-feeders that syphon in water to pluck out microscopic organisms can throw food chains out of balance, and their sheer numbers in attaching to surfaces can clog pipes at BRIEFLY USATF places Lananna on leave during probe INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — USA Track and Field has placed its president, Vin Lananna, on temporary leave to avoid potential conflict of interest concerns over an investigation into the awarding of the 2021 world championships to Eugene. The Department of Justice is investigating possible racketeering, money laundering and fraud charges related to the awarding of both the Eugene championships and the 2019 championships to Doha, Qatar. Lananna has long served as president of TrackTown USA, the nonprofit that hosts events in Eugene. He led Eugene’s efforts to land the championships, which were awarded without a bid process. Portland affordable housing measure may impact building PORTLAND (AP) — Portland’s apartment- building binge appears to be ending. The Oregonian/ OregonLive reports that applications for new housing developments have slowed in the past year. Contributing to that reversal is construction costs and land prices. But Portland officials are worried the city’s zoning policy, which requires developers to set aside rent-restricted units in large apartment and condo projects, might be playing a role, too. 38 Oregonians 19-and-under died by suicide in 2015. SALEM (AP) — Most recent data show 38 Oregon residents 19-and-under died by suicide in 2015. The Statesman Journal reports the Oregon Health Authority’s 2016 Youth Intervention and Prevention Plan Annual Report says those 38 suicides accounted for 45 percent of the suicides reported among youth 24-and-under. The report says Oregon had the 16th-highest youth suicide rate in the nation in 2015. The report shows there were 695 hospitalizations of youth 24-and-under in 2015 for self-inflicted injury/ attempted suicide. Nearly 17 percent of eighth-graders and 18 percent of 11th-graders who took the survey in 2017 reported they had seriously considered suicide over the previous 12 months.

Giant water bodies turning aquamarine blue is a sign that the base of the food chain is being depleted, risking starvation for other species, including sport fish. Quagga mussels approach an inch in length while zebra mussels can be about twice that size. The species are native to Russia and Ukraine, and are believed to have arrived in the U.S. in the 1980s aboard ships that released ballast water into the Great Lakes. They attach to boats and trailers and travel long distances, and their micro- scopic larvae can survive in water inside a boat or even an angler’s wading boots. Also, the mussels can sense toxins and close their shells. The Bureau of Reclama- tion first started dealing with the mussels after discovering them in 2007 in Lake Mead in southeastern Nevada and northwestern Arizona. They’ve multiplied so fast that scientists now estimate the entire volume of the lake is filtered by the mussels every five days. Federal officials say the only area not yet invaded in the contiguous United States is the Columbia River Basin in the Pacific Northwest. The basin is heavily used for hydroelectric power, and officials estimate it will cost $500 million annually to prevent the mussels from clogging pipes. The environmental damage to the food chain could further strain strug- gling runs of salmon and steelhead in the basin where more than a dozen species are listed under the Endangered Species Act. The mussels are getting close to the basin. Sampling last fall found larvae of quagga or zebra mussels at Tiber Reservoir in north-cen- tral Montana. It was the first positive test in the state. Specifically, federal scientists are seeking a solu- tion that kills 100 percent of the mussels in large water bodies, is cost-effective and environmentally sound.
