Page 2 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Spill puts focus on oil transport Leaders from the Colum- bia River tribes met at Mosier on June 9. They gave the tribal view on the issue of oil terminals and oil transport by rail through the Gorge, re-affirming tribal opposition. “The tragic derailment of the Union Pacific oil train in the Columbia Gorge was no shock or surprise,” said War m Springs Council Chairman Austin Greene Jr. “This sort of catastrophe is inevitable when hubris and greed blind men. Oil trains in our lands will stain them deeply over time if we do not stop them now.” Councilwoman Carina Miller gave her support at the June 9 conference, along with leaders from Yakama, and the Columbia River In- ter-Tribal Fish Commission.

Warm Springs Tribal Council Chairman Austin Greene Jr. addresses the oil transport issue at Mosier. The event that brought this issue to the forefront was the June 3 train derailment at Mosier. Several oil calls de- railed, spilling oil near the Columbia and causing an ex- plosion. “The accident is a reminder that we should be reducing, not increasing, the number of oil and coal trains along the river,” said CRITFC chair- man Paul Lumley. “If projects like the cur- rently proposed Tesoro-Sav- age oil terminal or Millen- nium Bulk coal terminal are allowed to move forward, (the Mosier) accident will only be the first of what could be many more to come. We cannot stand idly by this danger to the river, the salmon, the people and com- munities who rely on them.” Meanwhile, officials from ODOT, and cities and towns along the river have also called for a halt to oil trans- port by rail along the river.
