Condit dam in Washington coming down VANCOUVER, Wash. (AP) - Work is under way to remove the Condit Dam in southwest Washington and restore salmon and steelhead habitat on the White Salmon River. The 125-foot tall dam was built in 1913 about three miles from the Columbia River. T he C o lu m bian re p o rts PacifC orp decided in 199 to rem ove the dam rather than build expensive fish p assage structures it would have needed for relicensing. The 92-acre reservoir behind the dam, Northwestern Lake, has been low ered. W orkers m oved into place Monday to start drilling and blasting through the 90-foot thick base o f the dam. The final breach in the $32 million dam removal project is planned for late October.

As o f last week, a customer could still use the website to buy shirts with the Sioux nickname, a gym bag with the nickname and logo and other Fighting Sioux items. T he N C A A considers the nickname and logo offensive to American Indians. In an Octo ber 2007 lawsuit settlement over the issue, the association said U N D had to drop the nickname and logo by last Monday to avoid penalties. U N D now expects to retire the logo and nickname by year's end. * FamilwEdaQ A ll Products Prepared Fresh Daily Entrees Roasted Daily Featuring Hand Cut U S D A Choice Steaks BREAKFAST - LUNCH - DINNER Served All Day /w/«a/w * Senior Menu • Children's Menu • Daily Specials C ,Z% 237 s.lil/. 4th Street, Madras * 475-6632 OPEN 6 10 pm DAILŸ No Foolin - The Best Food In Town! u_ m j
