The cost is higher than anticipated by the United States when the treaty was signed. “It is estimated that our constituents overpay this enti- tlement by 10 times the recip- rocal benefit,” Republican Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodg- ers of Washington has said. Those payments affect the monthly bills of 6.4 mil- lion U.S. electric customers from 80 utilities in the Pacific Northwest. British Columbia officials have said they need a bet- ter accounting of the benefits Americans get from the vast amounts of water stored north of the border. “It is imperative that we ensure that any updated treaty is beneficial for both the United States and Canada,” said Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio of Oregon. “I’m hopeful the negotiations are completed quickly.” Environmental groups want to ensure conservation measures are given greater weight in these talks. John Osborn, a Spokane physician who is a member of AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File This June 3, 2011, file photo shows the Bonneville Dam on the Columbia River near Cascade Locks, Ore. Talks are scheduled to begin Tuesday, May 29, 2018, in Wash- ington, D.C., to modernize the document that coordi- nates flood control and hydropower generation in the U.S. and Canada along the Columbia River. the Columbia River Round- table group, pointed out that Memorial Day marked the Vanport flood’s 70th anniversary. The flood wiped out the city of Vanport, just outside Portland, killing 15 people and leaving 18,000 home- less. It occurred when a com- bination of heavy winter snow, warm temperatures, and spring rainfall sent tor- rents down the river, breaking through a railroad embank- ment serving as a levee. Osborn said preventing tragedies like the Vanport flood was a major impetus for the original Columbia River Treaty The governments of the United States and Canada used the flood to authorize construction of three large storage reservoirs in British Columbia: Duncan, Mica and Keenleyside. The treaty also spurred the construction of Montana’s Libby Dam. The new dams forced thousands of residents from their homes, and permanently flooded valleys. All told, these new dams doubled the storage capacity 0s showers t-storms 10s rain 20s flurries 30s 40s snow ice 50s 60s cold front 70s 80s 90s 100s warm front stationary front 110s high low National Summary: Tropical downpours from Alberto will bring the risk for flash flooding from Alabama to Tennessee and the southern Appalachians today.

Meanwhile, Native Amer- ican tribes in both coun- tries would like the heavily dammed Columbia to flow more like a natural river, with additional water releases in dry years to aid struggling salmon and steelhead runs. Tribes have also said new negotiations might produce agreement on reintroducing extinct salmon runs above Grand Coulee Dam in Wash- ington state. “The U.S. government has routinely adopted pol- icies and made decisions which were destructive to the health of the Columbia,” said Michael Marchand, chairman of the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. He expressed disappointment that Native American tribes are excluded from the actual negotiations. In British Columbia, res- idents living along the river likely will seek more stability in reservoir levels. “We need to rethink dam management to improve river health and restore salmon runs while protecting com- munities,” Osborn said.

The Bend Bulletin reports there were more than 1 million pounds in the state’s supply chain. Data provided by the Oregon Liquor Control Commission says only 108,330 pounds of usable recreational marijuana were sold last year at the retail level, leaving 891,670 pounds in the pipeline to be stored for later sales or used in the manufacture of concentrates and edibles. With more cannabis being grown than con- sumed, growers have dropped wholesale prices and some are scaling back production or getting out of the market. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission will evaluate the supply and demand from July 2017 to June 2018 in a report for state lawmakers.

SUPERFAN: Players like his encouragement Continued from 1A he got on clearance about 10 years ago. Next to the chair, he places a cooler containing Gatorade and black licorice. His uniform is a Pendleton softball shirt, cargo shorts, sandals and a PHS hat. When the game gets going, so does Rohde. Hap- pily for the other fans, Rohde’s voice doesn’t rip into the ballpark like a chainsaw biting into wood. It’s more of a soothing, sup- portive refrain. The players hear him from the field and say they like Rohde’s relentless encouragement. “I love it,” said Aspen Garton, who plays second base. “He makes me laugh out there. He’s got a good attitude.” Rohde said he takes pains not to say anything negative. “I will absolutely not crit- icize the umpires,” Rohde said. Richards loves having Rohde on their side. “I enjoy having him in the stands,” she said. “He moti- vates me. He’s definitely a positive. I work to block out just about everything else, but I don’t block him out.” Oddly, Rohde, who played baseball at Pend- leton High School, hasn’t always liked softball. When granddaughters Reeghan and Raylee Lehnert started playing Little League soft- ball, however, he went to the games to fulfill his grandfa- therly duty. Slowly the game took hold. “I ended up getting hooked on softball,” he said. “It’s much faster than base- ball. You don’t have time to get up and go to the bath- room. I can’t believe what good athletes these girls are.” Rohde doesn’t have work to prevent him from attend- ing games. The farmer- turned-nurse is retired now and finds time to attend not only PHS games, but some- times college games played by softball teams with for- mer Pendleton players on the roster. If Pendleton wins Tues- day’s playoff game at Steve Cary Field, Rohde will head for the state championship game in Corvallis. If that happens, he’ll have to leave his chair in the trunk of his W t t t t t t t pc t t c s s s t s pc pc t s pc pc c s t pc Weather (W): s-sunny, pc-partly cloudy, c-cloudy, sh-showers, t-thunderstorms, r-rain, sf-snow flurries, sn-snow, i-ice. TREATY: Dams doubled storage capacity Continued from 1A -0s orange Volkswagen bug. “They don’t allow lawn chairs,” Rohde said. The superfan said he believes the Lady Bucks could pull off another cham- pionship victory. The key is whether they can turn on the tap and let the hits flow. The last several games, they hav- en’t hit to their capability, he said. If they start hitting, though, watch out. “Hitting is their strength,” he said. “They’re the best hitting team. They have power galore.” Whatever happens, Rohde will be there in the stands cheering his team. Play ball. ——— Contact Kathy Aney at kaney@eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0810.
