Demand for COVID-19 testing decreases, Pfizer requests approval for ages 5-11 Hilary Dorsey Staff Writer

T

illamook County Health Department reported during a Tillamook County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, Oct. 13, 14 COVID-19 cases for the weekend case count from Friday, Oct. 8, through Sunday, Oct. 10. The 7-day case count from Oct. 3 through Oct. 9 was 26. The 14-day case count from Sept. 26 through Oct. 9 was 55.

“When we talk about our breakthrough rate, from Sept.

26 through Oct. 2, it was 75.6 percent of new COVID-19 cases were not vaccinated versus 24.4 percent statewide were breakthrough cases [in the state],” Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Ed Colson said. “Here in the county through the end of September, it was 74.2 percent not vaccinated versus 25.8 percent vaccine breakthrough cases for Tillamook County.”

The county’s death toll is at 26 deaths, as of Oct. 12. Twen-

ty-three of these individuals were unvaccinated, one had no vaccine record and two were fully vaccinated.

There are six confirmed outbreaks and 15 under monitoring, Colson said. Oregon Health Authority confirmed outbreaks, as of Oct. 13, at Fred Meyer with 31 COVID-19 cases, Adventist Health with a total of 24 cases, and Tillamook County Creamery Association with 20 cases.

Monoclonal antibody treatment is available in Tillamook County.

“These treatments require provider referral after a positive COVID-19 test,” Colson said. “This treatment is given through our one-time IV infusion currently at Adventist Health Hospital in Tillamook.”

Colson said on average, 30 individuals have been tested at each of the testing days throughout the week at the fairgrounds.

“Last week, we had on Monday, 34; Wednesday, 36; and Friday, 26,” Colson said.

Due to the decrease in demand for testing, drive up testing at the convention center ends after Friday, Oct. 15, Colson said.

COVID-19 testing is still available at the health center’s acute care clinic. To make an appointment with the health center, call 503-842-3900.

“Our vaccine rates in October so far are averaging about 35 per day,” Colson said. “We had 31 last Tuesday and 37 on Thursday.”

Pfizer and BioNTech have submitted a request to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use authorization for those ages 5-11. Colson said the ruling by the FDA is expected in early November. It would then go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s advisory committee and then to the Western States Scientific Safety Review Workgroup, and finally to Oregon Health Authority for authorizing use.

“Booster shots for Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are

going to follow the same steps,” Colson said. “We expect to have a decision in mid-October from the FDA.” A booster dose for Pfizer has been authorized for those who have completed the two-dose series at least six months ago.

These eligible groups include people 65 years of age or older, those with underlying health conditions, those who live in longterm care settings, and those who work in high-risk settings such as teachers and grocery workers.

Vaccines are available at the fairgrounds from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Tuesdays and Thursdays.

“We also have the flu and pneumonia vaccines available,” Colson said. “The CDC says the flu vaccine and COVID vaccine may be administered in the same day.”

Vaccines are also available at Adventist Health, Rinehart Clinic and local pharmacies.

S

tate Sen. Betsy Johnson, of Warren, announced Thursday on her Facebook page that she is running for Oregon Governor, “as an independent leader unaffiliated with any party and loyal only to the people of Oregon.”

The Oregonian first reported Johnson’s announcement following her Facebook post.

The following is Johnson’s Facebook letter.

Dear Friends: With an election for Governor fast approaching, Oregonians are eager for a fresh start and new leadership.

But having to choose between another left-wing liberal promising more of the same or a right-wing Trump apologist – is no choice at all.

According to Nehalem Bay Fire & Rescue Fire Chief Chris Beswick, when units arrived on scene, they found a three-bay shop, approximately 1,200 square feet, fully involved. The fire was quickly brought under control; however, the shop was a total loss. There was no damage to surrounding structures, and no injuries either to the residents or responders.

The cause of the fire is officially undetermined, but a malfunctioning heat lamp in a chicken coop is suspected, Beswick said.

Rising seas could change coastal regions DAVID RUPKALVIS Country Media

With climate change impacting the Earth, sea levels are beginning to rise again, and as they rise it will impact the shorelines many in Oregon and California call home.

That’s the message Kim McCoy shared during a virtual meeting celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition.

McCoy recently updated the book, Waves and Beaches, which was originally written by Willard Bascom. The book is considered the leading authority on beaches, shorelines and the impact waves and weather have on them.

McCoy, a physical oceanographer, adventurer and expert on coastal wave dynamics, said the impact on the coast is directly linked to weather events far away.

“Everything that happens upstream impacts what happens on the coast,” McCoy said. “What happens upstream could very easily push out millions of pounds of sediment.”

For decades, Bascom was the expert when it came to coastal areas. McCoy worked under Bascom and was asked to write the third update of Waves and Beaches. McCoy said the book covers coasts worldwide, but the work began in Astoria when Bascom was hired for the Waves Project. Last year, McCoy brought

the new edition of the book to Astoria, going full circle.

“Where Willard Bascom started studying waves was in Astoria, and here it was returning a book all these years later,” McCoy said.

McCoy said as the Earth’s temperature has slowly risen, it has caused ice, both on shore and in the sea to melt.

“When things melt above sea level, they raise the sea level,” McCoy said. “When it’s sea ice, it doesn’t, so it’s important what happens inland. As the Earth warms, ice not only melts and fractures, but it also melts from below because the water is warming.”

As far as climate change, the ocean is the key to changing weather, McCoy said.

“The ocean is the key component to climate change,” he said. “The ocean is turbulent.

Turbulence is everywhere in the universe. The warming Earth is causing the rapid fluctuations in our weather patterns. You can’t separate what’s happening anywhere on Earth. It’s all connected.”

One impact on the coast is the loss of ice. McCoy explained that permafrost and ice on the coast protect the coast from waves and change.

As the ice disappears, waves have a greater impact on shorelines.

And the changes could be devastating if something doesn’t change.

“If there’s a two-degree centigrade increase in global temperature, this is what will

happen,” McCoy said. “Miami will be underwater.”

In Indonesia, rising water is putting 5 million people living in the capital city of Jakarta at risk. The risk is so severe, plans are being made to move the capital.

The danger is rising waters lead to rising waves. And waves change everything they

touch.

“Every time a wave come into shore, it moves some sediment,” McCoy said. “Every single wave moves particles, millions of grains of sand. Every wave is unique. There’s no one wave that is repeated over time. Every single wave stirs up sediment, and that sediment goes someplace.”

The good news is, the changes are just starting.

“The sea level hasn’t changed much in the last 4,000 years,” McCoy said. “It’s starting to change. In the last 20,000 years, the sea level has gone up 400 feet, but not much in the last 4,000 years. But it is rising again.”

And if climate change

continues to lead to a warming Earth, sea levels will begin to rise quickly.

“We’re all connected, and I can’t stress enough, we need to have an understanding of what’s happening,” McCoy said. “We need to have average citizens have a sane approach to our coast.”

Study finds 2020 Labor Day fires significantly impacted Oregon’s forest sector Oregon’s forest-dependent businesses and industries suffered an estimated $5.9 billion in economic losses as a result of the Labor Day wild-

fires that one year ago burned more than a million acres across the western part of the state, a newly released study commissioned by the Oregon

Forest Resources Institute concludes.

Conducted by experts from the natural resource consulting firm Mason, Bruce

Would you like to be part of a family of mission-focused healthcare professionals?

& Girard, in partnership with the forestry economic analysis and forecasting firm Forest Economic Advisors, the 104-page study looked at the economic impacts of last year’s Labor Day fires on Oregon’s forest sector, which ranged from lost timber and logging equipment to forest restoration efforts made more difficult by a shortage of tree seedlings.

The Labor Day 2020 Fires: Economic Impacts to Oregon’s Forest Sector study report can be downloaded here. The report looks at the various ways forest landowners and businesses, such as logging companies and saw-

mills, were affected by last year’s fires, finding that the Labor Day wildfires had substantial impacts on the sector, and will continue to impact Oregon’s timber supply, forest-related employment and other economic factors well into the future.

The analysis focuses on the fires’ impact in terms of acreage burned and timber lost across public and private forestland, the economic value of timber lost in the fires, the potential to salvage timber burned in the fires, and the long-term impact on future timber supply to the state’s wood products manufacturing sector. The study

also investigated the scale and costs of needed post-fire forest restoration, including infrastructure repair, erosion control, stream protection and reforestation.

The Oregon Legislature created the Oregon Forest Resources Institute in 1991 to support and enhance Oregon’s forest products industry by advancing public understanding of forests, forest management and forest products, and encouraging sustainable forestry through landowner education. A 13-member board of directors governs OFRI. It is funded by a portion of the forest products harvest tax.

Sheriff ’s office details serious recent car crashes, fatalities

There has been several serious motor vehicle crashes this past week, a few of which resulted in fatalities, Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) reported.

“Unfortunately, it has been a busy and very tragic week [in] Tillamook County,” said Sheriff Joshua Brown. “The real tragedy is that most motor vehicle crashes are avoidable, especially when reckless driving, excessive speed, or impaired and distracted driving are involved.”

TCSO deputies responded at 12:07 p.m. Monday, Oct. 11, to Kilchis Forest Road near milepost 4, for a reported motor vehicle crash.

“A 17-year-old male from Tillamook, was learning to drive his truck with friends,” said TCSO Forest Deputy Evan Wallace.

According to witnesses, the teen was alone in the vehicle, driving westbound down the road at a fast rate of speed, the sheriff’s office reported.

“The friends had lost sight of him, and when they when they came around a corner, they found the canopy to his truck laying in the road.”

The truck had rolled down an approximate 200-foot embankment before landing on its roof.

TCSO Detective Andy Christopherson was the first to arrive.

Tragically, the juvenile driver was pronounced deceased moments ng later due to his traumatic injuries. o Tillamook Fire District and Tillamook ambulance also responded.

TCSO deputies responded to ed a reported motor vehicle crash around 10:30 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 14, on Stanley Peak Road near milepost 1.5, which is off Sam e

“In this country, we need to stand strong for women’s reproductive rights,” Schrader said.

Child care was another issue

Downs Road in the Tillamook State Forest.

“A 72-year-old man from Tillamook was deer hunting when he encountered a slide and debris partially blocking the road,” said TCSO Forest Deputy Evan Wallace.

According to the sheriff’s office, it appears the man attempted to drive around the obstruction on the road, and during that process, his pick-up truck slid off the road and rolled down a steep bank approximately 150 feet.

“The truck had rolled multiple times and came to rest on its drivers side against a tree. The man was ejected from the vehicle,” said Deputy Wallace. “Tillamook Fire personnel and sheriff’s deputies were first on scene.”

Although the man was conscious when rescuers initially reached him, he later died from his traumatic injuries.

TCSO deputies responded to a single vehicle rollover crash at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16, at the intersection of Old Netarts Road and Whiskey Creek Road near Netarts. There were two people and a dog in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

“One occupant was ejected from the vehicle and was transported to the hospital, but they had sustained fatal traumatic injuries and later died,” said TCSO Detective Sgt. Michelle Brewer.

The other occupant and dog received minor injuries. An Oregon State Police Crash Reconstructionist was called to the scene. This is an ongoing investigation.

“However, excessive speed and alcohol appear to be factors in this crash,” said Sgt. Brewer.

If you have any information regarding this crash, please contact the TCSO Tip line at 503-815-3319.

Also on Oct. 16, a single vehicle motor vehicle crash occurred on Buck Mt Road near milepost 3, in Nehalem, sometime between 3 and 5 a.m.

“Apparently, there were two occupants, a male and female in their mid 30’s, from the Portland area,” said TCSO Forest Deputy Evan Wallace. “ They were traveling down the road from deer hunting when ‘something happened,’ neither could remember what, and the vehicle hit the high bank and then literally rolled off a cliff and came to rest on its top about 150 feet below.”

Luckily, other deer hunters observed the truck lights flashing in the dark and made voice contact with occupants of the truck.

“Both patients needed to be rescued from the base of the cliff by Nehalem Bay Fire-Rescue’s rope rescue team, which took about two hours,” said Deputy Wallace.

“The male occupant was life-flighted by helicopter to a trauma center with broken ribs, head trauma and a broken knee. The female went by ground ambulance to the hospital with back pain and head trauma,” said Deputy Wallace. “Both patients were very confused and disoriented and it appears that alcohol may have been

delivering results matters more than who gets credit.

As Governor, I will force the two parties to work together to put Oregon ahead of narrow partisan politics.

Our campaign will be like no other in Oregon history – because the stakes for Oregon’s future have never been higher. Freed from the distraction of a primary election, I will formally launch my general election campaign after the first of the year. Until then, I will be listening to Oregonians, raising money, and building a first-rate campaign organization. Next summer, I will be nominated for Oregon Governor by the

people through the power of their signatures.

Taking on the entrenched two parties will be difficult and expensive. Oregon’s state motto is “She Flies with Her Own Wings”. But this Oregonian can’t fly anywhere without your early and generous financial support.

The decision to run independent of any party, by law, requires me to give-up my Democratic Party registration by next Spring. Rest assured, my bedrock values will not change. I was raised in a moderate Republican family and became a Democrat because the Republican Party had moved too far to the

brought up. Schrader said adequate child care is essential to getting people back to work.

“We need to figure out how to leverage our investment in child care,” Schrader said. “I think that is going to be huge.”

Not every region has the same cost structure for child care, Schrader added. There is general commitment by everyone in Congress that child care is a good investment.

Schrader spoke about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. capitol, stating there is “no excuse for evading a capitol

and attacking your own capitol is terrible.” As professionals, those working in the capitol have tried to put it behind them while also not sweeping it under the rug.

Schrader said the capitol’s police are also being improved and there are new people in place.

Manzanita City Hall football enters fourth quarter Welcome back fans, to the pleasant village of Manzanita, Oregon, for the big game between the Manzanita City Council and the upstart Manzanita Citizens. On the line is whether the Council will continue running the ball with their plan for a brandnew City Hall with unknown expenses, or whether the Citizens can block the play that threatens their own community taxes with their innovative, sustainable, million dollar less expensive Underhill remodel program.

To recap, the Council took the early lead by borrowing heavily to buy the overpriced Underhill property, forgoing upgrading old City Hall, citing a 400-year-old tsunami threat. Forgoing an independent appraisal Council paid the Seller’s price. Council after faking a remodel plan at Underhill, Council deftly switched to a new building plan. What a move! And the community is still footing the bill with more than $2,000,000 in interest and principal costs on the property so far. In another surprise move, Council ignored known environmental conditions on the Underhill site(Real Estate 101) and are being penalized with an oil tank cleanup bill.

Council ran another trick play, pulling funding from the water fund to the general

fund to disguise the carrying costs of the Underhill property. But the Citizen team fought back, forcing a penalty flag on the Council practice, and halted the improper funding from the water fund.

Continuing their offensive assault, Council attempted a long scoring play to put the game out of reach by designing an outrageously expensive, overly large building and then went for a touchdown with a Bond measure.

Citing low interest rates, they said taxpayers would barely notice the tax increase. But the Citizens did notice, swatting the Bond measure away with a 68% negative vote That’s when the Citizen team went on the offense, submitting a petition with 260 signatures to implore the Council to compare a new building with the Underhill remodeling plan side by side. The Council merely snickered, faked nodding acknowledgment of the petition and barreled ahead with their new building plan. “We compared the costs between the options,” they said, never really doing so, and reached their preconceived conclusion that a new build is the way to go.

Oh, it’s been quite a game!

Council has been playing as if they hold all the cards.

Now we’re in the fourth quarter and the big question is: Where will the money come from?

• Will the Council put another bond measure to a vote

Letters and Columns

of the Citizens?

• Has the Council regained the trust of enough of the 68% NO voters to pass higher taxes through a bond measure for a new City Hall?

Some say Council won’t take the chance of giving Citizens further input with a vote. Council could pull another trick play and approve a bank loan for a new building directly, handcuffing the General Fund for years to come?

Council could do this and thumb their nose at voter approval. It’s so tempting to spend other peoples’ money on pet projects.

It’s going to be quite a finish. Manzanita taxpayers may be forced to fund the most expensive City Hall for a town its size in Oregon without voter input. The big questions remain: Will taxpayers be forced to do so? Will the Council allow another vote?

Original friend of Wave misses services

I am Pat Patterson at age 97 writing this letter to complain about the Tillamook County Transportation District. I with Bob Kenny, Jack Graves and other original founders of the District went door to door and the tax payers all pitched in and agreed to fund a COUNTY SPECIAL DISTRICT to

bring public transporation to the citizens. At my age now I may still have my drivers license but I had been proud of the service from the local volunteers here in the South County who knew me and the other citizens and could provide affordable transporation with dial a ride van that was parked right here in Pacific City available for us local citizens. After the volunteers where gotten rid of things really did change but not for the better. I went to a board meeting by telephone a couple of years ago and asked for the volunteers to be kept and not forgotten as we did have people who actually did a good job and did not waste tax payer dollars caring about us in the South County, but now they are gone. And what is left here?

We have buses that do not even go down our Sandlake Road but go with maybe 2 or 3 peole on them driving along the business sections of town. Sometimes we even see empty buses there. For a parking lot to keep it from being over crowded and to keep the businesses taken care of that is just fine.

But we are being forgotten as the local citizens who pay the tax dollars that were being spent carefully to take care of us.

We need a bus to travel down our road where the seniors like myself and other citizens who need regular transportation to serve US! The Sandlake Road does meet with highway 101. My suggestion is also to work

with the Artichoke Farm Store with the big parking lot where a bus could turn around with the owners making an agreement for a bus stop there. I know widows and other seniors who live down here in my Sandlake Road neighborhood who are stuck without transporation and we need some help with more local citizens also raising their concerns.

Dial a Ride used to serve me as a former original Board Member. We had an agreement after serving the board for so many years to serve a former board member with transporation as I would grow older, but that does not seem to be honored. My daughter Dee actually complained to the management about how I was not being provided dial a ride services when it was an important thing to do. As a World War 2 Coast Guard Veteran serving here with Japan sending submarines along our coast line I was also the lat keeper of the Cape Meares Lighthouse when it was in operation.

The National Archives of the nation came to Garibaldi and wanted me to come be interviewed and recorded to share my experiences. I had a ride from dial a ride scheduled to take me but I turned out to be sick that day, so we requested it be rescheduled for the following week. Instead of letting me know right away that it could not work out, we did not get the dial a ride to take me. Instead a friend had to drive to Sandlake Road

from Netarts to get me and take me in his personal vehicle. My daughter Dee who is my caregiver living nextdoor called in to make a complaint. There was no apology. She and Larry Stephens attended a Board Meeting for Public Comment to complain as well. They asked for the District to send each of them a written public document to review that would be a complaint procedure back in May 2021. It is October 2021 and we have never received that either in the mail. We don’t have a computer at home, and we citizens are not ALL just on the internet, or reading Facebook for our information on a County Transporation District. We need our Tillamook County Transporation District to be more people to people, just like we were when I helped the original Friends of the Wave get a Board together after the local citizens passed a property tax.

Now at 97 years old and not wanting to drive my car much at this time in my life, I watch the dial a ride vans travel up and down Sandlake Road, but I don’t really see how they are going to be serving me at my own address. As an original 97 year old Friend of the Wave, I have stated my concerns here in this letter because my own duahgter never even got an apology.

Oregon redraws legislative, congressional districts JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has signed into law a new plan creating new congressional and legislative districts in the state.

The special Oregon Legislative special session to redraw the state’s political districts, which includes a new sixth U.S. House seat ended Tuesday and shortly after the session ended, Brown signed Senate Bill 881, which creates six new congressional districts, and Senate Bill 882, which creates Oregon’s new state legislative districts.

“The right to vote is sacred,” Gov. Brown said. “In Oregon, we know that every vote matters because every voice matters in our electoral process. I’d like to thank the Legislature for coming together, through adversity, to pass legislation for redistricting. We do not always all agree, but when we find common ground, we can work together to do what is best for Oregon. Redistricting is a process that necessarily involves compromise, and I

appreciate the Legislature working to balance the various interests of all Oregonians.”

“These maps are fair, representative, meet the highest of legal standards and incorporate feedback we heard from Oregonians across the state,” Representative Andrea Salinas (D-Lake Oswego), co-chair of the House Committee on Redistricting said. “We followed the Census data to protect the constitutional requirement of one person, one vote.”

“Each district in these bills was carefully designed to ensure compliance with Oregon’s redistricting standards and ensure that communities across Oregon will have strong and accurate representation in the Oregon Legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives,” Senator Kathleen Taylor (D-Portland) said.

Democrat senators push for climate change investment DAVID RUPKALVIS Country Media With Congress working hard to approve funding to keep the government open, Democratic senators from the West Coast said the budget must include funding to deal with climate change.

During a press call Wednesday, the senators, led by Patty Murray from Washington and Oregon’s two senators, said the country cannot afford to wait when it comes to climate change.

“In Western states, we got hit by a heat wave that literally made the pavement on our highways buckle,” Murray said. “We’ve been hit by severe drought, and we’re not out of the woods yet on what has been a really tough wildfire season. These are really stark reminders to all of us up close and personal that the climate crisis is here and now, not some distant worry for another day.”

Murray said Congress must have a sense of urgency to handle climate change and they have to invest in a renewable electric grid.

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said the reconciliation pack-

age must include funding for climate change and must include it now. Wyden said those who live in Oregon have seen them impact of climate change first-hand.

“For those of us in the West, the reality is these are not your grandfather’s fires,” Wyden said. “They’re hotter, they’re more powerful, they leap over rivers and it’s hot and it’s dry and if someone drops a match, all of a sudden you have an inferno on your hands. You saw that with the Bootleg fire in Oregon this summer, where in effect is was so powerful it moved the weather.”

Wyden said the Build Back Better plan must include three components to address climate change. The first is to create a 21st Century Civilian Conservation Corps.

“What we ought to be doing is putting thousands and thousands of young people to work in these woods,” Wyden said. “They ought to be do preventative work to prevent the future Bootleg fires.”

The second step is to use the volunteers to do more prescribed burns.

“What you do is you go in during the cooler, winter

months and do careful burns, and you’re able to prevent fires later on in the hot and dry season,” Wyden said.

The third step is to reduce carbon emissions.

“My Clean Energy for America Act is the lynchpin for what we’re going to be doing to grow clean energy in America and support thousands of good-paying jobs,” Wyden said.

He said the bill would get rid of 44 tax cuts for the energy industry and replace them with three tax breaks for clean energy, clean transition and energy efficiency.

Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley also said it is time to act.

“Last Labor Day, I drove 600 miles and never got out of the smoke in Oregon,” Merkley said. “It is a sight I never want to see again. We have to wake up and smell the smoke and recognize the enormous increase in fire is being drive by climate change. We need to wake up and swim the waters where rainstorms have dumped unprecedented amounts of water in the midwest and flooded cities.”

Merkley said fixing the climate crisis can be done and

it can be done now.

“The answer is pretty simple, electrify everything with renewable energy,” Merkley said. “Put renewable energy on the grid to replace fossil energy on the grid. That is what Build Back Better does. It has an investment in a climate corps. It has tax abatements for solar and wind.

It may well have another incentive like carbon tax to help drive transition, and it will have forest management in it. We have a lot of work to do. We have to pass Build Back Batter.”

The final speaker was California Sen. Alex Padilla, who said Californians see the impact of climate change every day.

“For families in California, the climate crisis has become a daily reality,” Padilla said.

“This summer, as many of you saw, thousands of Californians were forced to flee their homes. Families in other parts of California have either torn out the crops or lit acres and acres on fire because of the escalating drought.”

Padilla said the Democrats must use their majorities in Congress to pass Build Back Better now.

U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley addresses a crowd while hosting a town hall in 2019. Merkley, who was first elected to the Senate in 2008, said changes must be made quickly to avoid a climate catastrophe.

“The entire western United State has been on fire,” he said. “Fossil fuels have pushed our planet to a climate catastrophe. Yet, many of our Republican colleagues are ignoring clear, compelling scientific evidence. We have the Democrat majority, and we know what needs to

happen. But our path to stopping a catastrophic cycle in narrowing today. We need to act and we need to act boldly to combat our climate crisis head on.

“Building back better also means building back more sustainable.”

Non-native fish are main consumers of salmon in reservoirs, researchers find Sean Nealon Guest Article

When warmwater fish species like bass, walleye and crappie that are not native to the Pacific Northwest, but prized by some anglers, overlap with baby spring chinook salmon in reservoirs in Oregon’s Willamette River they consume more baby salmon than native fish per individual, new research found.

The research by Oregon State University, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station scientists, recently published in the journal Ecosphere, may have implications for threatened salmon and future management strategies.

“Mixed stock fisheries are complicated and always changing,” said Christina Murphy, lead author of the paper who is a courtesy faculty member at OSU and a biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Maine. “We are providing the science to help managers identify tradeoffs to make the best management decisions for each individual location.”

Fisheries managers in Oregon are increasingly identifying and grappling with threats posed by illegally introduced or invasive species overlapping with native fish populations. In part due to this new research, management actions now include removing harvest restrictions on non-native warmwater fish species, which are sought by some anglers because of their white, flaky meat and sporty fighting ability, where their presence may have negative impacts on sensitive native fish species, such as salmon.

“As the fish management agency for Oregon, it is our job to promote and achieve goals of native fish conser-

vation and providing angler opportunity,” said Jeremy Romer, a co-author of the paper and assistant district fish biologist for ODFW in Springfield. “To do this effectively we use adaptive management and base our decisions on the most recent, reliable scientific research. We are always striving to pool resources and collaborate with colleagues to solve problems and inform management. This project is a great example of that.”

Construction of dams in the Willamette River and elsewhere created an unnatural overlap of coldwater fish, such as salmon and rainbow trout, and non-native warmwater fish, such as bass and crappie, in reservoirs. Studies on the diets of fish show that non-native species can have a large predatory impact on populations of salmonids, including spring chinook.

In the new paper, the OSU, ODFW, and U.S. Forest Service researchers studied fish in the Hills Creek and Lookout Point reservoirs on the upper Middle Fork Willamette River, just southeast of Eugene, Oregon. The spring chinook salmon found in that river are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. They studied the diets of reservoir fish in two time periods: March through June and August through September.

Previously it was difficult to identify if predators had eaten baby salmon, known as fry, because they are quickly digested into indistinguishable goo. The researchers solved that problem by using two methods to identify which fish consume the spring chinook salmon in the first few months of their lives: stable isotopes and stomach contents.

Isotope analysis allows the researchers to determine what predators ate by tracking

Young chinook salmon were found to be eaten more by non-native fish such as bass and walleye than by native fish. nitrogen through the food web. Nitrogen accumulates in salmon from the food they eat in the ocean. That nitrogen is then passed on from the mother to the baby salmon, and when a predator eats a salmon fry it also absorbs that nitrogen. The more fry predators eat, the higher the marine derived nitrogen level.

This elevated nitrogen level of the fry only lasted through May in the study. After that, the isotope analysis only told the scientists that the primary diet of a predator is any kind of fish. The researchers then used the actual stomach con-

tent information to determine what fish species were being consumed.

They found that walleye, by far, were most likely to have juvenile salmon in their stomachs. In the early time period, 18.5% of walleye had salmon in their stomach contents. In the later period, 15.8% did. They were the only fish species in the later period that had salmon in their stomach.

Other predators in the early period with salmon in their stomachs were largemouth bass (5.7%), white crappie (3.1%) and then native north-

ern pikeminnow (0.6%). The black crappie, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout and yellow bullhead studied during both time periods had no salmon in their stomachs.

The isotope signature analysis confirmed the stomach content findings. Walleye, largemouth bass and white crappie also had higher levels of nitrogen isotopic signatures.

Ivan Arismendi, a coauthor of the paper and an assistant professor in the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences in the College of

Agricultural Sciences, added: “Our findings support this strategy of integrated management, emphasizing that the capture of popular non-native warmwater species such as walleye can be promoted in areas that are overlapping with conservation priorities for salmon.”

Other authors of the paper are Kevin Stertz, Ryan Emig, Fred Monzyk, all of ODFW, and Sherri Johnson, of the U.S. Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station in Corvallis.
