sets an aggressive time line for rebuilding the worst ones. The work is to be completed over the next 17 years, instead of the 100 years the state of Washing-ton was asking for. John Sledd was one of the attorneys representing the tribes. He says it’s a great day for tribal treaty rights. “And it’s a great day for the fish and all of the people in Washington that depend on them, either for income or for recreation. It’s just a fabulous result,” Sledd said. QIN President Fawn Sharp became a lawyer because she was inspired to get her law de-gree as she grew up during the height of the fishing rights con-troversies. She said, “For us, fixing the culverts alone was not enough to solve the crisis facing our salmon populations, but it was utilizing the treaties to hold the state accountable to restore the habitat that is neces-

sary for the right water flows; the right conditions for salmon to not only to exist but to thrive. There has been over a thousand miles of water sys-tems; streams, rivers, and creeks that have been blocked by roads and culverts. What is at stake is the comprehensive and strategic as well as aggres-sive effort necessary on the part of the state of Washington to dedicate resources to salmon restoration and recovery”. President Sharp went on to say, “Fixing the culverts is but one factor and there is still a tremendous amount of invest-ment that goes into restoring our natural habitat and ecosys-tems. We are very grateful that this decision not only upholds our treaties as a shield, but also as a sword in those instances where we need to go on the offensive to hold the state accountable for widespread

Grand Opening

Victory for Tribal Treaty Rights and Salmon as U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Culvert Case Ruling Tribes and conservation-ists are celebrating a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that upholds tribal treaty fish-ing rights. The U.S. Supreme Court has let stand a ruling from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which had already ruled squarely in favor of the tribes. “It was a big victory when they won in the 9th Circuit and this affirms that decision,” said Robert Anderson, a law pro-fessor at the University of Washington and Director of its Native American Law Center. “So, it’s a huge victory for the tribes’ treaty rights and the fish.” The long running case is about fixing culverts. Those are channels built under roads to allow salmon to migrate even when streams are paved over. Some of those channels are too small or too steep for fish to get through. The ruling

On June 10, the QIN Community Development and Planning Department and six Portland State University Mas-ters students (Ayano Healy, Sachi Ara-kawa, Steven Rosen, Thomas Scharff, Victor Tran and Nate White) held a community meeting and dinner to pre-sent the work that the students had com-pleted during the spring for a vision for Queets. The students (otherwise known as Ripple Planning) presented their ideas for how a relocated Queets should lay-out based on the feedback they had re-ceived from discussions with residents, three prior community meetings, and surveys. A copy of the Vision Docu-ment can be found at: www.quinaultindiannation.com/planning/queetsreloc.html.

The document will serve as the cornerstone for future development of Queets above the tsunami zone, will inform sizing of the new Wastewater Treatment Plant, and can be used for the pursuit of grants and funding. The QIN Community Development and Planning Department will refine the document and its recommendations to create a Master Plan for the new Queets on Allotment 100. The Students shared their heartfelt gratitude for the hospitality of the Queets people and thanked them for their participation.

We hope you will be joining us for our Fun run/walk on July 3rd. This year we will be also have a 5K option. Remember, this is supposed to be fun! No need to stress! Some things such as the weather can’t be controlled and we just have to make the best of what we get. But it is wise to prepare properly and here are a few tips to help.

1) Dress appropriately from head to toe. If the day is chilly dress in layers. A sweatshirt over your t-shirt can be tied around your waist if you get too warm. Good appropriate athletic shoes are a must, but don’t try to break in new shoes the day of the event. Athletic socks without bothersome seams are best. Be careful not to overdress.

2) Scope out the course! Feel free to drop by the Fitness Center and check

out the planned route. We have several printed and available. 3) Grab a fitness buddy. Find a fr iend and walk or run together . Or better

yet, organize a group to go with you. Pick out matching t-shirts and wear them to the run/walk, the sillier the better. Did you know Early Head Start has a walking club that will meet at the High School track Wednesday and Friday from noon-1:00pm? Bottled water is provided and Fitness related in-centives are part of the fun! Children are welcome to the walking club.

4) Eat well the night before the Fun Run/Walk and have a light breakfast

such as oatmeal with half a banana. Stay hydrated but don’t over fill on water right beforehand. You don’t want to slosh! We will have snacks and water available after the event is over.

5) Perform a general warm up and do some light stretching before the

event. This will get the blood flowing and get your body ready. Don’t go out too quickly and aim for a nice steady pace that is comfortably challenging.

6) Smile! You can be an example of encouragement to other people. When

they see how much fun you are having, they will probably want to join you next year! And who knows? There may be a camera somewhere about. Achieving this goal is truly something to smile about.

If you would like to be added to the email list for our new QIN running club please call the Chronic Disease Prevention Program at 360-276-4405 ext. 8640. This informal group will be doing occasional group runs around town. We would love to have you join us for companionship and support. Be on the lookout for more run/walk events coming up.

During the first week of June, Rep-resentative Derek Kilmer of-fered a bi-partisan

amendment to ban drilling off the coast of Washington State. While lawmakers ultimately blocked the amendment, it was the first opportunity of many to outlaw drilling in Washington State. “Nobody wants drilling off our coast,” Kilmer said. “Drilling risks jobs, our econ-omy, our wildlife and our identity. I will use every poli-cy tool available to fight back against the Administration’s plan to drill off Washington’s coasts.” Kilmer offered the amend-ment during an all-day markup of a spending bill to fund the Department of the Interior. The members of the House Committee on Appro-priations, Subcommittee on

Antarctica’s ice sheet is melting at a rapidly increasing rate, now pouring more than 200 billion tons of ice into the ocean annually and raising sea levels a half-millimeter every year, a team of 80 scientists reported on June 13th. The melt rate has tripled in the past decade, the study con-cluded. If the acceleration con-tinues, some of scientists’ worst fears about rising oceans could be realized, leaving low-lying cities and communities with less time to prepare than they had hoped. The result also reinforces that nations have a short win-dow — perhaps no more than a decade — to cut greenhouse-gas emissions if they hope to avert some of the worst conse-

quences of climate change. Antarctica, the planet’s largest ice sheet, lost 219 bil-lion tons of ice annually from 2012 through 2017 — approxi-mately triple the 73 billion-ton melt rate of a decade ago, the scientists concluded. From 1992 through 1997, Antarctica lost 49 billion tons of ice annu-ally. The study is the product of a large group of Antarctic ex-perts who collectively re-viewed 24 recent measure-ments of Antarctic ice loss, reconciling their differences to produce the most definitive figures yet on changes in Ant-arctica. Chris Mooney for The Washington Post

Antarctic Ice Loss has Tripled in a Decade If it continues, we are in serious trouble

On June 13, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell (D-WA), a current member and former chairwoman of the Senate In-dian Affairs Committee, and U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) introduced bipartisan legislation to repeal an outdat-ed 1834 law that prohibits Na-tive American tribes from building and operating distill-eries on their tribal lands. “Getting this outdated law off the books is an important step to supporting tribal self-determination and economic development in Indian Coun-try. When Native American entrepreneurs have the oppor-tunity to create businesses, they thrive and strengthen the communities around them,”

said Senator Cantwell. “This legislation would provide a much-needed fix to an outdated law,” said Sena-tor Murray. “I’m proud to help efforts to break down barriers for tribal nations while empowering economic development in our local communities.” Washington State’s Che-halis Tribe has established

plans to build a brewery with an attached restaurant and dis-tillery on tribal lands in Grand Mound, Washington. However, the Bureau of Indian Affairs warned the Tribe that the pre-Civil War law prohibited dis-tilleries on Indian lands and that it would be unable to approve documents necessary for the Tribe to operate it. The law cur-rently directs to Bureau of Indi-an Affairs to “destroy and break up” any distillery on Indian land. As a result, the Tribe chose to not begin construction of the facility until the issue is resolved. "I am pleased that the Sen-ate will consider this overdue legislation. It will allow the Chehalis Tribe to pursue its

Kilmer Offers Opening Salvo in Battle Against Offshore Drilling Amendment first of many attempts to ban drilling off Washington’s coast

Interior and the Environment debated the spending bill for the Department of the Interior, which oversees the administra-tion’s controversial plan to open the nation’s protected wa-terways to offshore drilling. During that debate, Kilmer pointed out that the Interior Department’s former Secretary, Sally Jewel, already imple-mented a plan which lasts until 2022. Her plan went through a three-year public review pro-cess that included 3.3 million public comments and 36 public meetings. That plan, which is currently in effect, made leases available for 70 percent of the natural resources that are cur-rently recoverable--a compro-mise that would allow drilling in the states that want it, like Texas, and prevent it in states like Washington, where drilling would risk maritime jobs. “To me this is a jobs amendment,” Kilmer said at the hearing. “I know the folks in my state would much rather see these efforts go towards main-taining our National Parks, or

economic development efforts that have proven beneficial, not only to the Tribe and its mem-bers, but also to the surround-ing non-Indian community. Congress has recently under-taken efforts to repeal many of the antiquated and paternalistic laws that impair development in Indian country and this leg-islation advances those ef-forts,” said Chehalis Tribe Chairman Harry Pickernell Sr. The legislation introduced by Senators Cantwell and Mur-ray is also sponsored by U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS), a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee. U.S. Representatives Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), Derek Kilmer (D-WA), Don Young (R-AK), Denny Heck (D-WA), Tom Cole (R-OK), and Betty McCollum (D-MN) have introduced identical legis-lation in the House of Repre-sentatives. H.R. 5317 has re-ceived a hearing and mark-up before the House Natural Re-sources Committee. It now awaits a vote before the full House of Representatives.

accomplishing some restoration projects instead of wasting money on a plan that literally threatens tens of thousands of maritime jobs. This is a jobs amendment. I want our country to lead in innovation, not in pollution. I want us to lead in jobs. And I think it is important to look at the facts of this.” Kilmer also pointed out an amendment to ban drilling off Washington’s coasts would prevent the government from having to spend money defend-ing its offshore drilling plan from costly lawsuits brought by state attorneys general from states opposed to drilling. Washington’s maritime sector directly employs nearly 69,500 people. Including indi-rect and induced impacts, the sector is responsible for 146,000 jobs in the state and $30 billion in economic activi-ty. The shellfish-growing in-dustry alone supports 3,600 jobs, all of which could be compromised if an oil spill hap-pened off the state’s coast.

degradation of our habitat and natural resources”. The treaties date back to the 1850s and gave Native Americans fishing rights in exchange for land. Twenty one tribes first filed suit about the culverts in 2001. It’s also connected to the famous Boldt decision of 1974 that affirmed tribal rights to 50 percent of the annual catch of salmon in

their "usual and accustomed" fishing areas to native fisher-men. In this latest round of the case, Washington state argued the timeline is too aggressive. And it blamed the federal gov-ernment for culvert designs that now have to be rebuilt. In a statement, Washington Attorney General Bob Fergu-son says it’s unfortunate that

Culverts continued from page 1 state taxpayers will be shoul-dering all of the responsibility for the federal government’s faulty designs. But Ferguson was relatively isolated in those arguments, with Washington Governor Jay Inslee and other top state offi-cials standing with tribes and the U.S. government in this case.

The 2018 Blueback run is arriving in the small numbers we anticipated at the beginning of the season. The Department of Fisheries (QDFi) is monitor-ing their arrival by doing week-ly estimates of abundance of adult Blueback in Lake Quinault (referred to as escape-ment). QDFi uses hydro-acoustic hardware and methods to acquire necessary data for our estimating procedures. The estimated total number of Blue-back adults in Lake Quinault, as of June 19, was 4,735. Based on normal run timing, forty-eight percent of the total es-capement should be in the Lake by June 19 so the total annual escapement for 2018 will likely be about 10,000 adult Blue-back. The current status is illus-trated in the accompanying chart. The green line (Minimum Objective) shows the weekly progression of the minimum level of escapement that should be in the Lake in order to achieve the escape-ment objective of at least 15,000 adult Blueback. For ex-ample, in order to achieve the minimum objective, there should be at least 10,000 adult Blueback in the Lake during the week of July 1. This line is based on the average timing of the past 35 years of Blueback entry into Lake Quinault. The blue line (2018 Estimate) shows the series of QDFi esti-mates of adult Blueback abun-dance in the Lake for the 2018 season. The estimates of es-capement have been consistent-ly below the levels needed to achieve the minimum objec-tive. The orange triangle on the right side of the chart shows the projected total, seasonal es-capement. QDFi will continue to mon-itor the entry of adult Blueback into Lake Quinault. As the sea-son progresses and the number of adult Blueback in the Lake increases, we will have increas-ing confidence in the accuracy

of our estimates and the pro-jections to eventual 2018 total escapement. The extremely poor ocean conditions that affected Quinault Blueback also harmed other sockeye stocks along the Pacific Coast. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) has had to close all commercial, sport and personal use fisheries for Cop-per River Sockeye Salmon. The count of sockeye moving up the Copper River is the sec-ond lowest in the last 50 years. ADFG biologists attribute the poor runs to the same warm ocean conditions that affected the Blueback runs since 2016. The poor ocean conditions not only affected overall survival of the Copper River fish but also limited their growth. Fish returning this year are about a pound below average weights. The Lake Washington Sockeye is also returning in surprisingly small numbers. Although it is still early in the season and difficult to project the eventual total, counts at the Chittenden Locks are only 3% of normal as of June 17. This is the smallest total to date in the 45 years of record. Sockeye Salmon adults returning to spawn this year experienced some of the poor-est ocean conditions on record when they entered marine wa-ters as smolt in 2015 and 2016. Effects of the “Warm Blob” and an extreme El Nino had changed entire ecosystem dy-namics in the eastern North Pacific and created an environ-ment hostile for salmon. The good news is the Quinault Blueback is resilient and the escapement this year will pro-vide sufficient base to restore production if marine condi-tions improve. The bad news is a majority of the Blueback that should return in 2019 experi-enced the same poor ocean conditions and another year of precautionary management will likely be needed.

The Institute is operated by Fisheries and Oceans and is one of the largest marine research centers in Canada. IOS research ranges from investigating the effects of global warming on marine ecosystems, to contaminants in Arctic ice, the role of plankton in marine food webs, understanding and mitigating the environmental impacts of aquaculture, and even predicting where and when a tsunami might strike. Its scientists are experts in ocean currents and ocean temperatures, and in how ocean temperatures impact the abundance of marine species. Photo by Larry Workman

QIN Employee Notes Hannah Curley

Enrollment Administrator

Hannah Curley was hired as the new Enrollment Admin-istrator; her first day was on May 5, 2018. Hannah shares, “I recently returned home to Taholah after living in the Ta-coma area for the past 10 + years. I am an enrolled tribal member of the Quinault Indian Nation. Hannah has had experi-ence working in Enrollment, she said, “I worked with Ann Masten 28 years ago in Enroll-ment.” She is the eldest daughter of Harold “Muno” Curley. And she said, “I feel I have made a complete return to be-ing a productive member of the community. I am raising two of my nine grandchildren. And I live with my daughter, Sarah Martin and my son Jes-

se Martin. My other son, Sam lives in Arkansas with his chil-dren.” Hannah concludes, “I look forward to working with the Enrollment Committee and the general membership.”

Nakota Brown was selected by the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) to join their first cohort of Trib-al Youth Delegates. Nakota is our outgoing Teen Warrior for Quinault Na-tion and will be joining this cohort with the hopes of shar-ing his voice around mental health disparities in tribal com-munities and their impact on native youth. In May, Nakota held an event showing the film, “Paper Tigers”, and spoke to the at-

tendees about issues youth face and how parents, teachers, fam-ilies, and coaches can be sup-portive to them as they are ag-ing and growing. Nakota will now join a larg-er platform with other Tribal Youth from around the region to promote youth issues and work collectively to bring awareness to our community needs. Nakota will be entering High School in the fall and we are so proud of his efforts and willingness to engage in tribal

issues related to wellness. NPAIHB Youth Delegates are a group of Native youth who represent the tribes in Idaho, Oregon and Washing-ton. They collaborate to share their voice on health programs and policies, and learn more about health and wellness ca-reers. Only one Youth Delegate is selected per member tribe per year. Youth Delegates will pro-vide recommendations to the NPAIHB and other state and federal agencies about health programs and policies that affect young people. The goal is to involve youth in all levels of community decision-making. Youth Delegates will meet in-person and attend virtual trainings throughout the year to develop leadership skills and learn more about health and wellness professions. Dur-ing the meetings, Youth Dele-gates will discuss health pro-grams and policies that impact youth in their tribal communi-ties, write and pass resolu-tions, share their unique voice and perspective, and provide feedback to NPAIHB Dele-gates.

I previously worked for QIN between 2011 to 2017 and returned March 2018. I am looking forward to caring, once again, for the pe-diatric medical needs of the Nation’s families. I am grate-ful to be home. Siokwil! I attended Loma Linda University Medical Center and California State University, Fresno.

I am presently residing in Ocean Shores I have three children. My youngest daughter is a Physics major and is attending Whit-worth University in Spokane. My middle son recently gradu-ated from Central Washington University with a Bachelor of Science, double degree. My eldest son graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts degree in Cinematography from San Francisco Art Institute. I am a proud momma. I love taking long walks, reading good books and going to art exhibits. I am very happy and hon-ored to return and serve the Quinault Indian Nation. I have missed the beautiful children that I grew to love during my prior years working as the Na-tion’s Pediatric Provider in the Medical Clinic.

Taholah Beautification Crew

If you have traveled around Taholah at all during the day in recent weeks, you probably see this crew hard at work cutting back brush, mowing grass and cleaning up the streets. Most are fishermen who have not be able to fish since the Blueback season was closed this year. Back row from the left: Delbert Boyer, Darrin Hawks, J.R.

Hannah Brandi Eison Emergency Management Coordinator

Hannah Eison began working the Quinault Nation on June 18, 2018 as the new Emergency Management Co-ordinator. Hannah and her husband, Jared Eison and their children reside in Pacific Beach. She said, “We enjoy about any-thing outdoors such as hunt-ing, fishing, camping and four-wheeling are among our fa-vorite things to do.” In addition, she shares, “I am excited to be joining the QIN as your Emergency Man-agement Coordinator and I look forward to bringing posi-tive progress in that area.” Welcome on board to Quinault Indian Nation!

Farewell Luncheon for John Gibson - Public Defender

John’s first job out of law school in 1989 was working for the QIN. When the QIN hired him, John was teaching at the University of Washington and Central Washington University. John has continued to work for the QIN, in one capacity or an-other, ever since. John has been both the prosecutor and the public de-fender (for the past 13 years) so he has a well-rounded view of both sides. He was also a judge with the Northwest Intertribal Court System and a public de-fender for the Suquamish Tribe. John feels that even though the public defender and the prosecutor positions are equally important, he likes being public defender better. He feels like he can identify with many of the people he is defending because he, like many of his clients, has had to deal with alcohol prob-lems himself. John says the hardest thing about being public defender is that while you feel compassion for each individual’s situation, you simply can’t help people

out of everything. He desired to use his legal skills in a whole new perspec-tive. John likes working for the QIN because it is small and it makes you feel like you really make a difference. John has great love and respect for the community. The family ties that make up the QIN go back centuries. Communities that are interwo-ven and share that special con-nectedness are very unique in the 21st century. When he real-ly thinks about it, communities like this don’t exist anywhere else but Indian country. As a public defender, the most important cases to him are the children cases. Every child deserves to have a healthy pro-ductive life. John’s desire was to try to make sure that no child falls through the cracks. Every time the QIN loses a kid it is literally losing a part of itself. John has seen a lot of people that he has worked with and represented in the past. Seeing people he has helped makes his job worthwhile. “You will not

get that opportunity anywhere else.” John feels that dealing with people on a day-to-day basis was the most rewarding thing about his job. In late 2011 John was in a serious accident. He was truly amazed at the over 100 cards, emails and phone messages received from the Quinault community. “It helped me and my family get through a tough time and I felt very humbled by the support. Most amazing of all was how Andy Mail was somehow able to actually call directly to my room in the In-tensive Care Unit at Har-borview and talk to my wife and parents while I was in the coma. It meant a great deal to them.” “I’ve seen the community come together time and again to help someone in need…just never thought it would be me. I do feel a part of the greater Quinault community after the expressions of caring and sup-port, and I am more proud of that than anything else in my entire legal career.”

The Quinault Indian Nation will be closed July 3, 4 and 5 for Chief Taholah Days

The Quinault Nation Po-lice Department is proud to announce that Correction Of-ficer Rebecca Muhlhauser has successfully completed and graduated from the correction academy. Ms. Muhlhauser graduated second highest in her class. We are glad to have her back and know she will do a great job for the Quinault Nation Police Department and the community. The Quinault Nation Po-lice Department would like to introduce their new Animal Control Officer Dennis Nar-ron. Mr. Narron would like to introduce himself: Hello, my name is Dennis Narron and I am the new ani-mal control/code enforcement officer. I am hoping to be a valuable part of the Quinault Indian Nation Animal Control program. I am married to Lena Narron who is currently a cor-

rections officer/dispatch with the Taholah Police Department. I have three beautiful children and in my spare time, I enjoy taking them for walks along the river and the beach. I am very excited to be a member of the animal control program and look forward to assisting every-one with their animal needs or complaints.

Intertribal Timber Council

The 2018 National Indian Timber Symposium Hosted by Quinault

After nearly a year and half of preparation, the QIN greeted 41 timber tribes from around the United States as well as many fed-eral and private agencies. A total of 320 registered for this year’s conference This was the third time QIN had hosted the Symposium in 42 year. While the first Symposi-um held in Seattle in 1977 had no host tribe, the QIN played a major role in organizing that event. Workshops and the General Sessions covered many topics re-lated to the forest and timber in-dustry. QIN President Fawn Sharp gave the Keynote address focusing on many issues relating to natural resources and the role the Quinault plays in policies, environmental

actions and climate change. The address was well received and talked about and referenced the remainder of the symposium. On the second day of the event, QDNR Forestry staff provided a tour of specific locations on the Reservation to approximately 190 participants who filled four tour buses. The lunch stop was at the Lake Quinault Lodge and several participants opted to take a provid-ed shuttle a few miles up to see the world’s largest spruce tree; many were truly amazed by the size. The weather cooperated by showering the lake area in sunshine. Dave Bingaman, QIN Director of Natural Resources, was pleased with the outcome of the symposi-um planning effort. “Yes, there

were some glitches, but few saw them, and staff did a great job all around to help where needed to make this a success.” He would like to thank the Ocean Shores Convention Center, the Quinault Beach Resort & Casino, Quinault Pride Seafood, Quinault Land & Timber Enter-prise, and the Quinault Business Committee for their support. He would also like to thank Laura Alvidrez and Monica Rushworth of the ITC office for their sup-port and guidance. Next year’s National Sympo-sium will be hosted by the Semi-nole Tribe near Hollywood, Florida.

The spruce stump that has been in the middle of the Quinault River channel at Taholah since this past winter was removed in mid-June. It was a hazard to the boaters and would have been very disruptive to the canoe racers during the Chief Taholah Day festivities. In the first photo a notch was placed in the stump and then the cable was attached. In the second photo the cat pulls on the cable using the excavator as a fulcrum and allowed the cat more room to pull on the long cable, pulling the stump to the water’s edge. And in the last photo the excavator hauls the stump away. Photos by Larry Workman

Highlights from “Miss Tutxinmepu” - Dana Sotomish Yakama Nation Treaty Days held in June annually meant a beautiful weekend of dancing and competition at the White Swan Pavilion. This year Dana Sotomish was honored by request to bring out an old wool beaded dress by Nellie Broncheau Stanfield and Renee Broncheau. Renee raised by her aunt learned to bead and retired the dress while age 16, after Nellie passed. She wanted the dress to be worn to dance again and help represent the Nez Perce people. Dana was gifted a blanket, owl fan, beaded coin purse. The pow-wow committee recognized the dress during 2nd session Saturday afternoon. In addition, Dana placed 2nd in women's jingle category (ages 18+), 2nd in Royalty Special in honor of Arlene Wesley James the 1st Miss Indian America and finalist for additional jingle special. Dana represents the “Miss Tutxinmepu 2018-2019.” The Native American Student Cen-ter, in conjunction with the Native American Student Association and the University of Idaho, which hosts the Tutxinmepu Powwow each year.

Green Lantern Lunches is a year round, 100% vol-unteer and dona-tion based pro-gram that delivers lunches to food-

insecure children on weekends during the school year and all weekdays during the summer months – when the children need it the most! The summer program began in 2015 and the weekend backpack pro-gram began in 2016. The pro-gram is growing extremely fast as we try to keep up with the demand. We Are Currently Delivering To: » Humptulips » Ocean Shores » Pacific Beach » Moclips » Quinault Village » Copalis Beach » Ocean City » Copalis Crossing We Care We believe in our future generations. One of the first steps to set up a child for suc-cess is proper, consistent nutri-tion. We are on a mission to make sure all children are get-ting adequate nutrition daily. Because we care. The Hunger Problem Eighty percent of the kids in the North Beach School district qualify for free and reduced lunches during the school year. When school gets out on Fridays, and for the

summer, many kids are unsure where their next meal will come from. The USDA pro-gram does not work in our area because kids are not able to meet at a designated lunch loca-tion since they live so far away. Our Solution After a summer went by with no feeding program, we took matters into our own hands and created a program where we knew the children would get fed. Each delivery day, a group of volunteers gath-er to pack and load hundreds of lunches to be sent out for deliv-ery to the homes of the chil-dren. We are currently sending out over 500 lunches a day Join Us In Feeding Our Future Generations By: Donating today via https://www.gofundme.com/rurallunchprogram/donate One lunch costs as little as $2 to pack and deliver. We tru-ly appreciate any donation of money or non-perishable food. All donations go to the pur-chase and delivery of our lunches. Volunteer with Green Lan-tern Lunches. We are always looking for help packing and delivering lunches.

President Trump frequently boasts of his success in rolling back costly and harmful regula-tions. Let's hope that effort in-cludes the renewable fuel standard (RFS). The RFS is the latest phase in Congress's decades-long sup-port for the ethanol industry. The problem is that support has outlived its usefulness. When U.S. crude oil pro-duction began to decline in the mid-1970s and Middle Eastern countries began restricting oil exports to punish the U.S. for its pro-Israel policies, Congress decided to act. It began subsidizing etha-nol, a mostly corn-based renew-able fuel that is blended into gasoline. The goal was to re-duce U.S. dependence on im-ported oil while creating a sus-tainable and more environmen-tally friendly alternative to gas-oline. But Congress took a differ-ent approach in 2005 when it passed the Energy Policy Act, which created the renewable fuel standard. The new law mandated that four billion gal-lons of ethanol be mixed into gasoline beginning in 2006. Then Congress vastly ex-panded the mandate in 2007 when it passed the Energy Inde-pendence and Security Act, which required a minimum of 36 billion gallons of ethanol to be mixed into gasoline by 2022. While that expansion may have seemed reasonable a dec-

ade ago, it no longer does. The primary reason is that the RFS mandate was created just when the U.S. fracking boom was taking off. Innovative drilling tech-niques have allowed the U.S. to become the world's leading crude oil and natural gas pro-ducer. Oil production is high and prices are low. By contrast, the ethanol mandate has pushed corn prices up by at least a third -- and of-ten much higher -- since 2005. The U.S. has become a net exporter of natural gas, and we could become a net crude oil exporter within five to 10 years. Energy independence, which means energy security, is just around the corner. Thus the justification for mandating eth-anol usage has largely vanished and may even be counterpro-ductive. Another pressing problem is that more and more ethanol must be blended into gasoline every year. But gasoline usage has leveled off, which means that to meet the mandated etha-nol goal the blend will have to rise from the current 10 percent to 15 percent or more. Car manufacturers warn that increasing the "blend wall" higher than 10 percent could create serious engine problems, especially in many older cars. And then there's the refin-ers' challenge.

cently filed for bankruptcy, blaming the RFS. Refiners that don't meet their goal of mixing ethanol have to buy a type of credit, known as RINs, which can be very costly. The management con-sulting company McKinsey & Co. recently reported that the credits translated into an additional cost of up to $4 barrel. For example, Valero Energy has projected annual spend on RINs in 2016 could total $850 million." That ain't chump change! RINs represent govern-ment at its worst. They redis-tribute huge amounts of mon-ey without producing one drop of useable fuel. Trump recently met with representatives from the etha-nol industry, refiners and some senators to try and come up with a solution to the RFS problem. Unfortunately, the etha-nol industry wants to double down for even more. Bad idea. The president has taken an important step in freeing up the oil and gas industry to meet our energy needs. Gaso-line, not corn, belongs in our tanks. Merrill Matthews is a resident scholar with the In-stitute for Policy Innovation.

Native Community Development Financial Institutions Access To Capital 2.0 Convening By Natalie Charley

Táala Presentation at the conference. Photo by Kim Pate

A hectic, delayed flight (both ways) could not deter Shirley Masten and I from thor-oughly enjoying our visit to Pacific Grove, CA as partici-pants in the Access To Capital convening at Asilomar Resort. The actual conference, or-ganized by Oweesta Corpora-tion, was filled with best prac-tices of lending, handling growth, and how to access capi-tal for agricultural, home own-ership and small business lend-ing. We strengthened our skills on performance tracking, using dashboards, and fundraising. And I, along with several of my esteemed colleagues, conducted

presentations for a group of funders. Evenings were spent in meetings with the awesome Northwest Area Foundation, walking the beach, and sitting around a campfire with our peers telling stories and strengthening our bond as practitioners in a unique, ex-citing field of work. The weather? Just like home. Fog-gy with occasional flashes of sunshine and blue sky. Táala Fund staff works hard to continue to improve our products, development services, and processes for our great community.

Co-authored by Quinault leaders and Tribal lead-ers across the State, I-1631 would empower Wash-ington Tribes as co-managers of Washington's response to climate change.

I-1631 would fully fund the relocation of Olympic

Peninsula Tribes, including Quinault, beginning at a rate of roughly $25-million-per-year in 2020.

I-1631 would strengthen the legal standings of all Tribal na-tions, replacing the flimsy "Tribal Consultation" standard with "Free, Prior, Informed Consent" from Tribal governments for any project receiving carbon revenue that impacts Tribal lands, treaty rights, and sacred sites.

Would provide hundreds of millions of dollars in dedicated

revenue to restore aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems to health, and to support stewardship of working forests, farms, and fisheries.

Initiative 1631 will: Vote Yes on Initiative 1631

Initiative Measure No. 1631 concerns pollution

This measure would charge pollu on fees on sources of greenhouse gas pollutants and use the revenue to reduce pollu on, promote clean energy, and address climate impacts, under oversight of a public board.

Should this measure be enacted into law? Yes No

This measure would impose pollu on fees on certain large emi ers of greenhouse gas pollutants based on rules

determining carbon content, star ng in 2020. A public board would supervise spending the revenues on reducing

pollu on, promo ng clean energy, and addressing climate impacts to the environment and communi es. U li es

could receive credits for approved investments. Indian tribes would consult on projects directly impac ng their land.

There would be periodic repor ng on the measure’s effec veness.

The state process In Washington, the number of signatures required to qualify a directly ini ated state statute—called an Ini a ve to the People in Washington—for the ballot is equal to 8 percent of the votes cast for the office of governor at the last regular gubernatorial elec on. Ini al filings for direct ini a ves cannot be made more than 10 months before the general elec on at which their proposal would be presented to voters. Signatures must be submi ed at least four months prior to the general elec on. The requirements to get an Ini a ve to the People cer fied for the 2018 ballot: Signatures: 259,622 valid signatures are required. Deadline: The deadline to submit signatures is July 6, 2018. The secretary of state verifies the signatures using a random sample method. If the sample indicates that the measure has sufficient signatures, the measure is cer fied for the ballot. However, if the sample indicates that the measure has insufficient signatures, every signature is checked. Under Washington law, a random sample result may not invalidate a pe on.

As of June 23rd, 286,187 signatures had been collected—so Ini a ve 1631 will be on the ballot.

Camp Chitwhin The first group of children attended Camp Chitwhin Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. They took part in many activities; includ-ing archery, crafts, hikes, fish-ing, cooking, and campfires. Next week another group of children will go to camp. The counselors will contact each of the children and give them all the information neces-sary to attend camp. During the final week of the camp program, the older children will go on a hike into Enchanted Valley above Quinault Lake.

NYC Begins New Work Projects The In-school Neighbor-hood Youth Corps enrollees started another year of busy activities Monday The boys have been work-ing on the Eagle Lake Camp site in preparation for opening day. They have set up the large tents, put in the camp water system and other smaller jobs. The girls have painted the Tribal Office and are preparing another house for painting. The young people working are: Cecelia Martin, Dave Obi, Francis McCrory Jr., Evelyn Curley, Debra Napoleon, Anne Thomas, Charlene Mowitch, George Skahan, Verdi Smith, Tom Grover, William A. Hurst, Randy Blackburn, Edith Capoeman, Gordon Hobucket and Alvin Boorne. Mike Curley, Cecily Cap-oeman and Dave Purdy have been hired as supervisors for the program.

NYC Project Moves Along Rapidly The NYC enrollees have been painting a few of the homes in the village. Eight houses have already received a new coat of paint. Houses completed are: Bennie Charley, James Bryson, Nor-

man Capoeman, Jessie Curley, Dave Purdy, Ida Law, Hank Charley and Martin Saux. Homes that are now in the process of being complet-ed are Delbert Boyer, and Lee Saux. James Bryson’s garage is also being painted. The paint project was spear-headed by the Commu-nity Action Program. Winner of Heats in the Olympia Lakefair Race Heat 1- Ralph Capoeman in "Valerie Lee ll, Heat 2- John Howard in "Bullet", Heat 3- Jerry Hause in ''Ugh! ", Heat 4- John Bryson in "Lorna E. Championship Heat: John Bryson, 1st place, Ralph Cap-oeman, 2nd place, and Jerry Hause, 3rd place. John How-ard tipped over in this heat. All the winners of heats received trophies, and a large trophy was presented to John Bryson as overall Winner. What do You Want to be? Three little nephews were sitting on the curb, each with a picture in his hand. So I asked the first little boy, who was holding a picture of John Glenn, what he would like to be. "An astronaut" was the reply. Then I asked the sec-ond boy who was holding a picture of Roy Rogers; what he wanted to be, and he an-swered: “A cowboy.” The third little boy was holding a picture of Jane Russell, and this puzzled me.· I said, and what would you like to be?” He looked at me solemnly and said, "Your age."

Boys to Attend Chippewa Ranch Summer Camp Donald Capoeman and Tom Grover were chosen to attend a summer camp at the Chippewa Ranch in Mahno-men, Minnesota. The Chippewa Tribe is sponsoring the camp. They received a grant from the- Office of Economic Oppor-tunity to invite 200 boys and girls from tribes all over the United States. The purpose of the camp is to give the young people a chance to express their own ideas about their tribes and tradition, arts, music and to exchange thoughts with each other. Donald and Tom will be staying at the Chippewa

Ranch for five weeks and will return home August 23. Sewage Disposal Plant Discussed At a meeting of the Quinault Tribal Business Committee held on July 22, the Public Health Service presented proposal for a new sewage disposal plant at Taholah. The Health Service has had a study prepared by an engineering firm, which provided several plans from which the 'tribe could choose. Both the engineers and the Public Health Service people state that there is no possible way to dispose of sewage in Taholah without using the river. This idea received some opposition from the Business Commit-tee members, because of the desire to keep the river pure. The engineering firm stated that they can prove that septic tank drainage from Taholah is now pollut-ing the Quinault River. They tested the water at the bridge and at the mouth, and their test shows that there is pol-lution from the village. They argue that a control sewage plant, if properly installed, would result in less pollu-tion than now exists. This because the discharge from the sewage system will be treated, and 99% of the bac-teria will be killed before the sewage is discharged into the river. Another point of discus-sion was the location of the sewage plant. The engineers suggested three possible locations, two of these are on the west end of the vil-lage, and one is east of the new highway. After much discussion the Business Committee recommended that this problem be dis-cussed on a community wide basis. They asked the Public Health Service peo-ple to come back on Wednesday, July 31, and explain their proposals to the entire community. The location of the new sewage system must be de-cided soon, because it must be partly installed in time to connect with the new hous-es, which will be finished this winter. Since this is a decision which will affect the entire future of Taholah, it is very important that everyone come to the meeting on July 31 and have their say. The meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. at the Taholah school.

125 years ago - July 1893 ** Highlights of E. W. Agar report

on the Quiniault Reservation: The reservation is now, and must be for some time to come, quite inaccessible. There is some land on the Queets and Quiniault Rivers and bordering the lake, but most of the remainder is compara-tively valueless. Consumption has been destruc-tive and is probably due to the great amount of rainfall and heavy sea fogs which prevail on this agency. The spring salmon run in this river are among the finest in the world and was more plentiful than in former years. Though the assis-tance of the physician, the Indians have been able to market a consid-erable quantity and quite a trade has developed. They are sent to Tacoma and other cities. Sea otter hunting and freighting for the white settlers have not been so profitable of late as a few years ago. A small sailing vessel was employed by the Indi-ans to bring lumber and general merchandise from Grays Harbor to the reservation. Two Indians have started general stores on a small scale.

150 years ago - July 1868 ** Highlights of Indian Agent report

1868 Wah Kinos, the head Quinaielt chief, refused to let his children be taught, and used his influence to keep others from the school fearing that the children would be taken away and put into slav-ery. These problems have been overcome by the new sub-agent, Mr. Henry Winsor (Wah Kinos was tied up and hung by his thumbs until he relented. Wah Kinos, originally lived on Joe Creek and was moved to the mouth of the Quinault with the arrival of the agents.). A decision is made to move the agency from the mouth of the Quinaielt River back to the prai-rie (Bakers). The agent felt that the prairie could be drained to provide good agriculture land and that plants reported to be poisonous do not exist.
