On May 9, federal district Judge James Redden will hear oral arguments in the ongoing litigation over the Columbia River, salmon recovery, and federal regulation. He is projected to rule on the case in the month or so that follows.
Idaho Rivers United has brought in author Steven Hawley*, who recently published " Recovering a Lost River: Removing Dams, Rewilding Salmon, Revitalizing Communities." To be the featured speaker on the issues and politics surrounding recovery of Idaho's endangered salmon and steelhead at the following three events. This will no doubt attract a biased audience, but it is open to the public should you or someone you know care to attend.

* Hawley's publisher, Beacon Press, writes:
"In
the Pacific Northwest, the Snake River and its wilderness tributaries were once
some of the world's greatest salmon rivers. As recently as a half century ago,
they retained some of their historic bounty, with millions of fish returning to
spawn. Now, due to four federal dams, the salmon population has dropped close
to extinction. Efforts at salmon recovery through fish ladders, hatcheries, and
even trucking them over the dams have failed."
Hawley, an environmental journalist, was among the first to write about the
historic agreement to tear out Edwards Dam on the Kennebec River in Maine.
Since then his work has appeared in High Country News, Bear Deluxe, National
Fisherman, OnEarth, Arizona Quarterly, the Oregonian and Missoula Independent.
He lives with his family along the Columbia River.
