A thank you for Oxbow work
Kudos
A kudos to this private
business. I would like to say
thank you to the one and only
Rez Rover.
A walk home at that late
hour, in that weather, would
have been a pain. You being
a good samaritan helped my
feel have no suffering conse-
quences. LOL. You did me
and company the honor of a
courtesy ride. Big tips com-
ing your way!
Shelmo
Pet clinics
On the first Tuesday of
each month, beginning on
September 6, there will be
spay and neuter clinics in
Warm Springs. These will
be free to people who live
on the reservation.
The location of these
clinics will be at the Warm
Springs Housing-Commu-
nity Building, 2776 Quail
Trail-Greeley Heights. Learn
more about this program at
the Bend Spay and Neuter
Project Warm Springs meet
and greet on Tuesday, Au-
gust 2 (same location as the
upcoming clinics).
Check-ins will start at
7:30. Appointments are first-
come first-serve, with up to
30 appointments available.
Your dog’s free appoint-
ment will include:
Spay and neuter surgery
(no additional charge for in-
heat, pregnant or dogs with
retained testicles); pain in-
jection, anesthesia, monitor-
ing post surgery, pre-surgi-
cal exam, and rabies vacci-
nation if needed.
A few of the benefits to
having your pet spayed or
neutered:
Prevention of accidental
litters of puppies; your dog
will be healthier and this will
help them live longer.
It will make your dog
easier to train, and help
avoid unwanted behaviors;
and your dog will stop run-
ning away from home.
This program presented
by Bend Spay and Neuter
Project and The Daisy
Fund. For more info on
having your pet fixed, visit
www.bendsnip.org or call

Crews at work on the Oxbow (pictures above and below).
Hello, everyone! We
had a great fish salvage
event at the Oxbow, and
I want to thank every-
one who helped out with
the event. It was really a
great team effort.
We probably moved
over 20,000 fish, mus-
sels, crayfish, frogs out
of the river, slough
ditches, and Ruby
Creek. People worked
so hard to get as many
of the fish as possible.
There was great
weather, and there were
no any injuries to my
knowledge.
We accounted for all
data sheets from the
event. There was some
urgency with the net
seining, so most of those
fish numbers were not
recorded, as too much
time would have elapsed
to perform the counts
as the nets were gath-
ered. We did rescue 18
adult Chinook and one
Jack, and one adult dy-
ing.
Emily Davis did a great
job working with other agen-
cies and staff to gather and
release mussels during the
past couple weeks, and her
numbers are not yet re-
flected below. Thanks again
to the mussel crews.
We had three different
departments from the
tribes’ Branch of Natural
Resources, the Malheur
National Forest’s aquatic
crew with two shockers, all
available staff from the
Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife with four
shockers and gear, and the
Bureau of Reclamation
staff out of both John Day
and Boise with their shocker.
The North Fork John
Day Watershed Council sent
about a dozen Oregon
Youth Conservation Corps
staff each day, providing
essential help. And Dirk
from U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service was out there with
his shocker.
Even our contractors—
BCI/Hanging Rock/Dry
Canyon, along with Inter-
Fluve, Inc.—were out
there helping by spotting
fish and collecting lam-
prey from the mud.
One adult Chinook
was saved by Will
Noffke, spotting it on
Thursday night in the
shallows. Hopefully I am
not leaving anyone out.
One more thing…
there were a couple nets,
an aerator, and a water
bottle left behind. They
are in the Shop building,
and you can swing by
and get them when you
have a chance. If you
are missing something
else or left with some-
thing new, let us know
and we can try to get
those items back to the
right place and person.
Thanks again! The
project is off to a great
start because of you!
See you on the River,
Brian Cochran, Res-
toration Ecologist, the
Confederated Tribes of
Warm Springs.
