CRITFC announces
new executive director
Jaime Pinkham
will take over
April 24
EO Media Group
A new executive director is
coming to the Columbia River
Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.
Jaime Pinkham, a member
of the Nez Perce Tribe with
more than 30 years of expe-
rience in American Indian af-
fairs, will take over at CRIT-
FC beginning April 24. The
Portland-based commission
works on behalf of four tribes,
including the Umatilla, Warm
Springs, Yakama and Nez
Perce, to enforce treaty fi shing
rights and infl uence fi sheries
management.
With
his
selection,
Pinkham becomes the 10th di-
rector of CRITFC in 40 years.
“As a treaty fi sher and
hunter, I am humbled to work
with the member tribes of
CRITFC,” Pinkham said in a
statement. “CRITFC plays an
important role working at the
intersection of each tribe’s in-
dividual autonomy and their
unifi ed voice. Healthy and
harvestable salmon runs are
fundamental to the sovereign
identities and cultures of the
four member tribes.”
For the last eight years,
Pinkham has served as vice
president of the Bush Foun-
dation in Saint Paul, Minne-
sota, where he led the Native
Nations program. His work
led to the creation of the Na-
tive Governance Center, a
nonprofi t providing technical
support to tribes in Minnesota,
North Dakota and South Da-
kota as they redesigned their
government systems.
Prior to that, Pinkham
spent two
decades in
the Pacifi c
Northwest
advocating
for
tribal
sovereignty
and
trea-
ty
rights,
Pinkham
including
a stint at
CRITFC from 2005 to 2008
as watershed development
manager.
Pinkham has a degree in
forestry from Oregon State
University. He has twice been
elected to the Nez Perce Tribal
Executive Committee, and led
its natural resources program
focused on salmon resto-
ration, land acquisition, wolf
recovery and water rights ne-
gotiations.
CRITFC chairman Leland
Bill said Pinkham’s work on
tribal sovereignty and natural
resources stood out among the
fi eld of candidates for execu-
tive director.
“We look forward to work-
ing with Jaime as we face a
number of current issues that
impact salmon and tribal trea-
ty fi shing rights, including
climate change, an altered
federal government landscape
and the renegotiation of the
Columbia River Treaty.”
Pinkham succeeds Paul
Lumley, who served for
eight years before leaving
to lead the Native American
Youth and Family Associ-
ation in Portland. Rob Lo-
throp will continue to serve
as interim executive director
until Pinkham arrives.

• Motorcar service will
be inaugurated between La
Grande and Elgin next Tues-
day, April 2. Wm. McMurry,
general passenger agent of
the O-W railroad, announced
that the new service probably
would consist of two round
trips daily except Sunday,
about 50 minutes being re-
quired to go over the road.
• Perhaps the long and anx-
iously awaited spring break
up is here. Higher tempera-
tures, with occasional periods
of warm sun and wind, have
prevailed since the cold of
Sunday, and the snow has dis-
appeared rapidly in town.
• More men are wanted
in all branches of the United
States army, and mayors of all
cities in Oregon have received
letters during the week asking
their assistance in stimulating
recruiting.
• John Edgmand killed a
large cougar a few days ago a
short distance above the Chico
post offi ce on the Chesnimnus.
It measured seven feet from tip
to tip and looked like a young
lion.
• Ben Johnson has kept
tab on his thermometer, every
morning since late fall, on the
Imnaha. He fi nds that for 140
days without a break, there
was freezing temperatures ev-
ery morning. Recalling that
T HE B OOKLOFT

farmers usually have the spring
plowing well done before this,
and some often start early in
February, with green grass and
fl owers already up, it will be
seen how severe winter was.

• The Enterprise chamber
of commerce will receive de-
livery of a 1947 5-passenger
Ford coupe April 20. This car
will be given away on the last
day of the county fair, July 6,
to the holder of a lucky ticket.
• The annual drive to raise
funds to carry on the fi ght
against cancer is now under
way in Wallowa County and
will continue throughout the
month of April. The county’s
quota is $400.
• On March 29, Mr. and
Mrs. Wayne Reams and baby
daughter, and Wallace Pushee
started for John Day by car,
with a trailer in which were
suitcases, the baby’s buggy and
other things, as Mrs. Reams
and baby had planned to stay
in John Day with her mother
for a month. When they got to
La Grande they found the trail-
er was missing.
