A Lewis and Clark trail piece examines the Columbia Snake rivers region. It discusses Dworshak Dam impact on ancient red cedars and the fate of sturgeon and Pacific salmon. The narrative highlights salmon life cycles and regional waterway changes shaping future rivers.
The Pacific salmon population has plunged from millions of pounds to counts by individuals as dams block spawning grounds and nitrogen from spillways and industrial discharges, plus warming waters from cooling systems, threaten survival. Despite hatcheries, thousands die before spawning and pollution and proposed reactors amplify risk.
Bob Zink, a Astoria lumberjack, joins the Clatsop Environmental Council to oppose an aluminum smelter at the Columbia mouth. He recalls Lewis and Clark, laments lost wildlife and beaches, and argues Americans must protect sacred shores from industrial impact. The protest halted construction for a year to study environmental needs.
The Hanford plant built in World War II now holds 75 million gallons of radioactive waste in tanks with a 20 year safe life and 500000 year lethal life. Leaks have occurred a dozen times in 14 years. Authorities say leaks harmed nothing as waste seeped into ground. The Columbia River and nearby Willamette face escalating pollution concerns. Oregon officials recall past battles over water safety.
Prof J B Jamison of Stanford outlines a one year ATS 3 satellite teaching experiment using the computer system to deliver daily instruction. Students on an Indian reservation in New Mexico and a Wisconsin school for the deaf will receive lessons, with the system checking answers asking follow ups and repeating the course for individual needs.
