A thank-you to customers as we start new year
T he Coyote Eatery wishes to per-
sonally thank our customers. We
also wish you a very happy and
prosperous journey into the new
year.
Our customers are very pre-
cious, and we will always strive to
serve you with the utmost delight
and appreciation. We look forward
accomplishing great things for the
2018 year because of you.
At times our service is painfully
slow, this because at certain times
of the rush hour day we are
swamped with takeout orders and
bulk/family orders of frybread
and saddle blankets (tortillas); for
this we apologize.
As most people have become
aware, we are now located at the
Chief Ducsahi (Mark Meacham)
Bridge over the Deschutes River
on Highway 26.
We are also renting the former
tribal information and gift shop.
The use of the building is for the
customers’ seating, while hanging
around waiting for their food or-
der. The clean restrooms are avail-
able for the customers conve-
nience. Please feel free to browse
at some of the local Indian crafts.
We have labeled them as crafts as
they are Native Treasures.
The interior building’s décor is
of the local Native American flare,
consisting of the Columbia River
petroglyphs, photos of known
treaty signers of the 1855 treaty
and so forth. Photos of the 1858
migration of people of the Co-
lumbia River will also be displayed
with historical captions of the in-
dividuals.
With Powerpoint slide photos
of ethnobotany will be captions,
giving information on nutritional
values, use of the barks, and other
pertinent uses of each plant. Also
the Wasco and Latin language is
used for the identity of the plants.
There will be 64 photos of plants
our People of the River made use
of.
This is no fast food restaurant:
Coyote’s Eatery’s Menu consists
of fresh homemade style cooking.
There is a Native and Ameri-
can diversity of burgers prepared

A healthy word from KWSO...
Start off the new year by
focusing on good health ba-
sics.
Eating right doesn’t have to
be complicated. Healthy eat-
ing includes a variety of fruits
and vegetables, lean proteins,
whole grains, and low-fat dairy.
If you are overweight,
work toward losing 5-7 percent
of your weight to significantly
reduce your health risks.
Get in about 30 minutes of
moderate activity every day to
assist in weight maintenance
and overall health.
If you smoke – quit! Make
sleep a priority and shoot for
7-9 hours of shut eye every
night.
Many medical conditions
can be recognized in the early
stages by getting preventive
screenings and immunizations.
Ask your doctor about what
screenings are recommended
for you.
Stress less and stay positive!

Justices to hear appeal of salmon habitat order
The Supreme Court will review
a court order that could force
Washington state to pay billions of
dollars to restore salmon habitat by
removing barriers that block fish
migration.
The justices said Friday they’ll
hear the state’s appeal of the rul-
ing by the federal appeals court in
San Francisco. That court affirmed
a lower court order for the state
to fix or replace hundreds of cul-
verts. Those are large pipes that
allow streams to pass beneath roads
but can block migrating salmon.
The ruling stems from a 2001
lawsuit filed by Native American
tribes and the Justice Department.
The tribes say they’ve been de-
prived of fishing rights that had
been guaranteed by treaties.
Washington complained the rul-
ing could have broad implications
for land and water use management
in the Northwest.
Scientists: A controversial pesticide is killing salmon
The federal government’s top
fisheries experts say that three
widely used pesticides — including
the controversial insecticide
chlorpyrifos — are jeopardizing the
sur vival of many species of
salmon, as well as orcas that feed
on those salmon.
It’s a fresh attack on a chemical
that the Environmental Protection
Agency was ready to take off the
market a year ago, until the Trump
administration changed course.
Chlorpyrifos is widely used by
farmers to protect crops like straw-
berries, broccoli and citrus fruit
from insect pests. In recent years,
though, scientists have found evi-
dence that exposure to chlorpyrifos
residues can harm the developing
brains of small children, even in
the womb.
Two years ago, the Environmen-
tal Protection Agency issued a pro-
posal that would have stopped
farmers from using chlorpyrifos.
The final decision, however, fell to
the Trump administration, and EPA
Administrator Scott Pruitt decided
to keep the chemical on the mar-
ket while the agency continues to
study its risks.
This new report, however, ex-
amines another danger entirely—
the risk that chlorpyrifos and two
other pesticides, diazinon and
malathion, are washing into
streams and rivers and harming
wildlife.
The National Marine Fisheries
Service concluded that continued
use of the chemicals is likely to
jeopardize the survival of endan-
gered species of salmon, as well
as orcas that eat the salmon. Ac-
cording to the report, use of
chlorpyrifos is affecting 38 spe-
cies of endangered salmon, and
it’s having negative effects on 37
areas that have been designated
as “critical habitat” for endan-
gered species.
The report, called a “biological
opinion,” proposes an array of
“reasonable and prudent” actions,
short of taking the chemical off
the market completely, that could
reduce the risk that chlorpyrifos
will get into streams and harm fish.
They include prohibiting of spray-
ing near streams, limiting aerial
spraying, or requiring wide strips
of permanent vegetation along-
side streams.
It will be up to the EPA, how-
ever, to put those restrictions in
place. Sharon Selvaggio, from the
Northwest Center for Alternatives
to Pesticides, says that “we cer-
tainly hope that the EPA will
implement the restrictions.” Yet
the EPA often has not done so in
the past. The agency’s track record
in implementing biological opin-
ions from the NMFS, Selvaggio
says, is “pretty bad.”
Selvaggio’s organization is one
of several environmental groups
that filed a lawsuit, years ago, that
eventually forced the National
Marine Fisheries Service to carry
out this study.
Dow Agrosciences, which sells
chlorpyrifos, tried unsuccessfully
last year to prevent the NMFS
from issuing this opinion. A law-
yer representing the company
wrote a letter to Secretary of
Commerce Wilbur Ross, asking
Ross to shut down the NMFS
study of chlorpyrifos. (The
NMFS is part of the Commerce
Department.) Dow Agrosciences
argued that the NMFS was car-
rying out its work in a “fundamen-
tally flawed” way.
