Portland, Ore. -- There are still plenty of Sunday afternoons this summer to spend some time at Bonneville Dam, 40 miles east of Portland on the Columbia River.
While you're there, you can learn more about the Northwest's salmon issues, the Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, announced today. Each Sunday afternoon this July, speakers from various agencies and groups will discuss salmon issues as seen from their perspective.
This Sunday, July 13, Ed Lamotte, project leader, Spring Creek National Fish Hatchery, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will talk about "The Role of Hatcheries."
On July 20, Rick Taylor, videographer and producer of the "Chinook Trilogy" video series, Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, will tell visitors "What You Wanted to know about the Tribes and Salmon, but were Afraid to Ask."
The programs will be held at 2 p.m. each Sunday in the 3rd floor theater at the Bradford Island Visitor Center.
Also, on Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27, the Annual Bonneville Lock and Dam Fish Film Festival - films about fish - will be shown in the Bradford Island theater and at the Washington Shore Visitor Complex between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. To reach the Oregon side of Bonneville Lock and Dam, take exit 40 from Interstate-84; to reach the Washington side of the project, take Washington State Highway 14 to the Bonneville project.
