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.

NCAA still selling Fighting Sioux goods
B ISM A R C K , N.D. (AP) -
The NCAA’s website was still of
fering merchandise with the Uni
versity o f North Dakota’s Fight
ing Sioux nickname and Ameri
can Indian head logo — after
they were sup p osed to have
been retired.
N C A A sp o k esm an E rik
Christianson says items with the
nickname and logo have been,
or will be, removed from the'
website.
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.
