"Oregon's review of its land-use planning
system must move quickly if it is to produce a package of meaningful
recommendations for the Legislature that convenes in January. We
wish the 10 task force members well as they sort through responses
from their first round of regional meetings that concluded in early
October. The job is even more daunting should the task force take
to heart the message Southern Oregon orchardist Dave Lowry
delivered two weeks ago. Lowry urged that, rather than stick with
policy that "protects" farmland, Oregon ought to adopt policies that
promote high-value farming." Read more from Thursday's

To create a new variety of potato, Oregon State University Extension Service researchers select plants that have desirable qualities such as pigmentation, smooth skin and known pest resistance. The plants are crossbred to encourage new genetic make-ups in seeds. Potatoes with a purple pigment may have high levels of antioxidants but will it make a good potato chip?

Back on September 20th, Oregon Senator Doug
Whitsett, during his "On the Floor" commentary on Klamath
Falls radio station KFLS discussed the
placement of the 2001 Bucket in front of the
Klamath County Government Building on Main Street. Senator Whitsett
stated, "That bucket is a symbol that we remember the
government oppression that directly caused the economic and
ecological devastation of our community by denying the Klamath
Project water for irrigation in 2001.
That bucket is a
monument to those who lost their businesses, their livelihoods, and
a few their lives from the stress of that government assault on
private property. That bucket is a sign that all our communities
joined together in peaceful civil disobedience in response to that
tyranny." Read more from
The Rhetoric of the Bucket. Note
from Webmaster: The Klamath Bucket Brigade gave this bucket to
all of the people of Klamath County in August of 2001.
Recommended reading today is Bob St. Louis'
History of the Jarbidge,
Nevada, Area where he chronicles
the history of the South Canyon of the Jarbidge River,
from the perspective of the on and off relationship between the
federal government and the local residents. It is not intended to
be a thorough study of the history of this part of Nevada, but
rather a detailed introduction into how the role of the federal
government has been transformed from the “government of the people,
by the people” to a self-serving entity that disregards the
interests, and laws, of the local citizenry.

- The North Coast Environmental Center sent
out a press release yesterday about the
California State
Clean Water Hearings on Klamath Dams Oct. 20, 21, 29
and Nov. 3 and
states, "If PacifiCorp is unable to
secure the clean water permit then its dams will
stand in violation of state law. What then?
According to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR)
notice, if the state chooses this "no project"
alternative it would basically mandate "the removal
of Iron Gate, Copco No. 1
and Copco No. 2" dams. J.C.
Boyle dam, which is in Oregon, may only be
regulated by California with regard to its impacts
on water that flows into California." The press
release gives the locations and times for the
hearings.

Farm prices
not small potatoes -
Fewer
potatoes mean profits as other crops lure farmers says it's
potato harvest time in the Upper Klamath
Basin and prices for potatoes have risen
because fewer farmers planted them this year,
choosing instead to plant other cash crops. Potato
farmers in the Klamath Basin are feeling the same
pinch as those who plant other cash crops. Inputs
have risen, and fuel and fertilizer costs have
increased dramatically. It isn’t every year that
potato farmers come out ahead. Depending on the
number of potatoes harvested, the going price is
sometimes less than what it costs to plant them,
farmers say. “Over
the last four years we’ve seen at least break-even
prices to the grower,” said Dan Chin of
Wong’s Potatoes. “That’s kind of unheard
of.”

October 1, 2008 - California Water Resources Control Board yesterday released a Notice of Preparation of an Environmental Impact Report on Oregon based PacifiCorp’s proposed relicencing of Klamath River dams. The Water Board will not evaluate PacifiCorp’s own proposal for a status quo dam license which they describe as “not legally feasible” due to federal agencies’ mandatory prescriptions for fish ladders and other mitigation measures according to a joint news release from the Karuk Tribe, Klamath Riverkeeper and the Pacific Coast Federation of Fisherman's Associations.

September 30, 2008 - In the October issue of Smithsonian Magazine is published
a comprehensive article On California's Coast, Farewell to the King Salmon that states, "Thirty years ago there were several thousand salmon boats in California. More recently, as the fish became scarce, only a few hundred worked the coast. Then salmon populations crashed, and this year for the first time U.S. officials canceled all ocean salmon fishing off California and most of Oregon, and curtailed it off Washington, a $300 million loss. The sudden decline of California's chinooks, most of which originate in the Sacramento River, has shaken scientists as well as fishermen. Typically several hundred thousand adult fish return from the sea to the river in the fall. Last autumn, only about 90,000 made it back, and fewer than 60,000 are expected this year, which would be the lowest number on record. "Usually when something like that happens, you can point to something dramatic, an oil spill, closing of hatcheries, an earthquake," said Donald McIsaac, executive director of the Pacific Fishery Management Council, the regulatory group that advised U.S. officials to halt this year's salmon fishing. But no such catastrophe has been definitively linked to the shortage."

salmonids in the main stem Klamath River for the
2007 out-migrant season. The report can be downloaded as a pdf file
from the Cal/Nev Fish Heath Center
HERE.
We also wish to acknowledge the collaborative spirit
that has gone into this annual monitoring program, which is being
jointly funded by Reclamation's Klamath Basin Area Office,
the Trinity River Restoration Program, and the
CA/NEV Fish Heath Center, Arcata and Yreka offices
of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, with valuable
field support provided by the Hoopa Valley, Karuk, and Yurok
tribes, the Salmon River Restoration Program,
and California Department of Fish & Game. Thanks
again to all that have contributed to this important effort. From:
Nicholas J. Hetrick,
Fisheries Program Leader,
Arcata Fish and Wildlife Office, USFWS.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation is
considering enlarging Shasta Dam as a way to boost
California’s water supply.
If allowed to go forward, the project would flood what little
remaining land once belonged to the Winnemen Wintu
tribe, whose name translates as “middle water.” Lake
Shasta, behind the Shasta Dam; is the starting point for
the federally run Central Valley Project, a system
of 21 reservoirs, canals and aqueducts that funnels water to some
3.2 million acres of farmland and supplies water to about 2 million
people. Read more from yesterday's Associated Press

Frank Priestley, president of the Idaho Farm Bureau Federation
wrote
Education efforts address
misconceptions about agriculture for this week's
Capital Press in which he states: "Farmers and
ranchers need consumers of all ages to understand more about modern
agriculture and how the food they eat is produced. Yet with more
than 100 activist groups using a combined annual budget of $500
million to constantly attack agriculture, we are often playing
defense in spite of the fact that American consumers have access to
the safest, most affordable and abundant food supply of anywhere on
the planet. Aside from the activists and their attempts to convince
consumers the food supply is poisoned or that there is no need for
animal agriculture, misconceptions originate and are perpetuated by
dozens of different sources. American Farm Bureau
Federation research shows misconceptions are commonly
passed along through all forms of media including textbooks and
children's books, but more often through advertising, movies and the
Internet."
Oregon
Secretary of State Bill Bradbury, who spoke about
climate change in Cave Junction, Oregon on Friday,
Sept. 19 showed a slide of a 2002 Chinook salmon die-off in the
Klamath River that he said was caused by overly
warm water. Warmer rivers are prone to fish kills, disease and high
bacteria levels. It also results in massive algae blooms, the bane
of fishermen and reservoirs such as Lost Creek Reservoir. These
fresh water dangers threaten livestock and humans who rely on the
water for drinking. During the past 80 years, Bradbury stated,
Earth’s climate has warmed, and ice caps and glaciers have
retreated. They are still retreating, he said. Bradbury said that
this is bad news because the ice caps and glaciers release water
during summers for irrigation, drinking water, and to sustain
wildlife and vegetation. Read more from the weekly Illinois
