U.S. scientists try crowdsourcing to stop invasive mussels
Only area they
have yet to invade
is Columbia Basin
BOISE, Idaho (AP)
— The invasive quagga
and zebra mussels have a
$100,000 bounty on their
“heads.”
The U.S. government is
offering the six-figure prize
for the best suggestion on
how to stop their relentless
and
destructive
spread
because scientists say they
are stumped.
“We might as well give it
a try,” said Sherri Pucherelli,
a biologist with the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation.
“Open water. 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

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.

reservoirs and damage boat
motors. 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.
