Julie Keil, director o f hydro
licensing and water rights for
P G E , described the release as
“the biological side o f a very
complex undertaking.”
According to Keil, “This ef
fort stands on a partnership, a
very sturdy partnership, be
tween P G E and the tribes.”
As for the future fish passage
facility, Keil" said, “It’s the most
complex thing these , engineers
will ever attempt in their careers.
The release o f the steelhead
was timed so that when they
reach two years o f age and are
prepared to migrate our o f the
Deschutes River to the Pacific
Ocean, the fish passage facility
at the Pelton Round Butte Dam
will already* be complete.
The fish passage facility is
included in the relicensing o f
the dam, which is co-owned by
the tribes and PG E.
W hen the Pelton Round
Butte dam was constructed in
1964, fish passage facilities were
included.
However, the downstream
system failed due in large part
to the confusion in downstream
currents—-something that the
neV/ design is expected to fix.
Because " o f that problem,
hatcheries were constructed as
a solution. The new project
aims to restore fish to their

Don Winishut helped pass out buckets containing the small fry to be distributed into
Whychus Creek,
natural habitat and create a long
term plan for their survival.
The fish passage facility will
come in the form o f a'270-foot-
high underwater tower arising
from the bottom o f the lake be
hind Round Butte Dam.
A 130-foot-wide disc at the
top o f the tovfer will draw in
most o f die surface water, turn
ing the current and fish back
downstream toward the dam,
according to information from
the P G E website.
Fish will be screened at the
intake and trucked downstream
o f the dams for release so they
can make their way to the Pa
cific Ocean.

Gauvin, fisheries management
supervisor for the tribes, “It’s
the first step'on a long path.”
“It’s a long-term process,”
Gauvin explained. “We have to
start at some point. This is
where we’re beginning.”

Storytelling: digital medium provides way to express feelings
(Continued from page 1)
Dawnlynn Courtney, 16, cur
rently speiids her time working
on an album o f d ifferen t
sketches she has done.
“It was different from what
everyone else was doing,” she
said. T d rather make my own
pictures than have myself put in
them.”
Crystal Tyler, 16, is working
on a similar project— she’s tak
ing different pieces o f her own
artwork and enhancing them by
adding color or changes digitally.
■ This is T y ie f s e c o n d time'
taking the course. Already she’s
completed several projects: one
focusing on depression, a mon
tage o f various photos, and
more.
“This class is awesome,” she
said.
Because Tyler plans on going
to art school, she said, “I figured
this class would give me the per
fect opportunity to make a pprt-

Giovanni Ram irez,116,; is
working on a differetit type o f
project: he’s creating' an album
volved more than, just time spent
in front o f the computer. He
said it also took effort to track
4 down photos from various fam-
ily members.
j “It’s taken a lot o f work,” he

v R.achelie Herkshan is also
focusing on her family in her
current project. t
But Herkshan decided to nar
row the focus and is creating an
album o f herself and her sisters.
Because pf the large size of
her family, Herkshan explained,
“It would be way too long.”
With six sisters, Herkshan’s
project, is already pretty expan
sive. She decided to focus on
her sisters, she said, because
“We’ve been close since we were
representing his family by in
cluding photos', audio record
ings and video clips. '/
j Fo r Rahiirez, the work in-
litde.”
Jessica Pedersen, 16, is still at
the beginning stages o f the class.
Currently she is working on
separating different elements in
photographs to com plete a
montage project. She decided
to take the class because o f an
interest in photography, and said
she’s already learned useful in
formation about how to edit
photos.
“It would be nice to actually
make my photography look
good,” she said. ,
Nicole White, 18, is able to
multitask by using her project
about fashion in a marketing
class as well.
Her project explores differ
ent years throughout fashion as
well as different types o f fash
ion and design.
As for the class, White said,
“It just looked like something
that was fun.” .
In addition, White added,
“It’s a way to express yot^r feel-
ings.ft " k
Rhett Johnson, 16, is work
ing on a p ro je c t ab ou t
motocross because o f his own
interest in the subject.
“I knew about it,” he said.. “I
ride motorcycles.”
In Epley’s opinion,: the pos
sibilities for the class are end
less,
“Y ou’ve got so many per
spectives a sto ry teller can
reach,” Epley said.
