You must present a driver's license or passport to enter. You must pass a metal detector and various security checks. Then you sign in and are issued a badge to enter the library. The library does not have WiFi. It does have a very deep collection of books and journals related to the electric power system and carbon-free generation: hydro, wind and solar. It also has a deep collection on fish, wildlife and ecology of our region. Helpful staff. Many free maps and reports on regional plans and studies to update the power system. And you can get the awesome video in DVD from on the history of the power agency, free! The Bonneville Power Administration Library is a specialized, quiet and WiFi-free library devoted to electric power generation and river ecology in the Northwest.

    I would like to give you a 5 rating, as I support the current quasi-government status of BPA. It…read moremaintains reasonable rates for electricity and has previously done so in an environmentally sound way. I am now concerned. Why is BPA involved in the Boardman to Hemingway Transmission line? This line is not needed and is simply a way for Idaho Power to assure profits to its shareholders . It is planned to tear a 300 foot swath through mainly private land in Oregon , destroying priceless forests, farmland, views, historical sites. riparian areas, water and wildlife habitat. The level of public anger is continuing to escalate. There are people willing to be arrested or killed rather than allow this line to desecrate their land. It will kill Threatened and Endangered Wildlife, ignore setbacks from riparian areas, cross through protected areas including Ladd Marsh which contains one of the few successful mitigation projects BPA has and which is supposed to be protected. Hundreds of people have objected to this project. There is currently a federal lawsuit due to the environmental damages it will cause, and there will be hundreds of contested case requests and litigation due to the intended approval by the Oregon Department of Energy. BPA should not be attached to a development that will do the kind of environmental and human injury that this project would inflict. I suggest you review the comments that have gone to the Oregon Department of Energy objecting to this project and look at the website for the grassroots nonprofit STOP B2H which has over 800 individual members and multiple environmental groups who oppose this development and ask yourself if Bonneville Power wants to have all these people questioning whether or not you are a company deserving of public support.

    It's a huge building, well ordered and with lots of light. You sign in and are given a special tag…read moreto wear with the room number. Parking is a breeze even if you have to pay for it. Besides, the workshop I attended was free of charge. And taking public transportation, depending on where you live perhaps, can be fun in Portland. Back to the Metro Regional Center. I attended a social media workshop for marketing your own business -- in case you missed that from my pictures. Interestingly, Yelp was mentioned a number of times as far as getting more testimonials written about your business. Unfortunately, being an editor and writing coach, I am not sure my business fits the Yelp model, but now you know! And you can always shoot me a DM. Even though I had been asked to bring my own lunch -- this class being offered from 12:30 to 2:30PM -- the SBDC hosted the event with plenty of vegetarian options to snack on (yay, Greek wine leaves with rice) and the water was nice and cold. Definitely will try to attend more meetings here.

    Metro, Metro, Metro...how I love you…read more I once felt overwhelmed with the thought of decreasing my day-to-day footprint on the Earth. I like to lead a healthy & low impact existence but it isn't always convenient. Sure, now we have the big blue bin that I can throw my paper, plastic bottles and cat food cans into, but where do I recycle my block styrofoam or my old computer parts for free? Where can I get some info on how to compost my food scraps at home without buying some $15 book on home composting? How about a list of DIY at-home green cleaners made with ingredients from my local Freddy's? And then, there was Metro. Not only does Metro have free pamphlets on all of this info plus more, you can also get all of the info off of their website at: http://www.metro-region.org/ and save trees (if your a hippie like me and can't help but consider those lovely trees) They have info on: - nature & local GreenScene activities - garbage & recycling - sustainable living - getting around Portland w/o a car - planning & conservation For those of you with families out there they have "Story & a stroll at Tryon Creek" geared towards kids in nature. If you are a novice green-thumb like me in the spring/summer they offer FREE classes on natural gardening. Or even if you don't recycle at all, but your neighbor asks you what they can do with their old car tires, you can give them Metro's recycling # 503-243-3000, and you have just done your good deed for the day. Overall Metro gives me good balance. I can be lazy, yet proactive. I let them gather the info and then I take advantage of it. Thanks for doing the legwork Metro, now I can feel better about myself! ; )

    Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission

    I think it's time to go back in time for a milestone review…read more A long time ago,160,00 years ago, humans, as we know, emerged in an evolutionary epic from Africa. They traveled on foot, and later by boat, crossing the Bering, to our Northwest area about 50,000-15,000 years ago. That is 1,500 to 5,000 generations of regional knowledge! That 'here' would later be named the United States of America, Canada, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana and British Columbia; all of our mountains, rivers, cities, neighborhoods and streets. The original people were named by new arrivers from Europe, who spread from Africa on their own Descartian epic. Those 'Native Americans', 'Indians', and 'First Peoples' in Canada, lived in balance with the land. One of their most beautiful traditions was the Potlatch. What we call religion, economics and politics were one. Food was sacred. Berries, roots, game and salmon were considered sacred foods: First Foods. Gathering and eating them were a religious ceremony. They are considered sacred foods today, and they are a religious ceremony. They will continue to be for generations. The Columbia Intertribal Fish Commission is their voice. I was fortunate to meet a leader from the Commission and know individuals who founded it. I know a little about the rivers and the fish. But I have to say I did not understand until I heard that leader speak just recently. And I have to say it brought tears. Salmon, an anadromous fish, are fish that are born on small streams in shaded gravel. They swim downstream over as much as 1200 miles to the ocean. There they grow. At the end of their life cycle, about three years, they return up those miles to their specific birthplace, spawn, laying eggs, and pass away to the great fish heaven. I have been very thankful to experience the fish swimming upstream to mate on a small river in the Washington Cascades off the Snohomish that flows undammed. It is intense survival of the fittest. It's real. And beautiful. Can't really describe it. Salmon only live in colder climates. They have been fished out in the Atlantic Oceans, Scotland, Norway, Eastern Canada. Almost all Atlantic salmon your buy in a store are farmed. Salmon are surviving in Alaska, the Russian peninsula. But we do not take care, they will be driven to extinction here. In 1932, President Franklin Roosevelt was elected. He created a hydroelectric dam building program on the Columbia River. His intent was to create jobs (did) and provide cheap, inexpensive, sustainable power (did). Fish, passing dams, swimming up to mate, and down, to grow, to the ocean, have suffered. The number of fish swimming up the Columbia River and tributaries to mate has declined since from sixteen million a year to around one million. Generally Indian treaties have been tragic. But a few treaty words in the Northwest promising a few, named, of the many tribes, the opportunity to catch salmon in their usual and customary places has saved those fish, so far, from extinction. (Just a note, most native people in British Columbia, the First Nations, are unrecognized and rights under law are lacking.) Do I advocate dam removal on the Columbia and Snake? No! But I would favor universal fish passage where spawning habitats can be restored, including high dams. Especially restoring fish passage into Canada. And I would advocate maximum habitat restoration. We can afford it. The Columbia Intertribal Fish Commission is the advocate for a balanced approach for fish in our region. Under their advocacy and interpreting treaties, native fishers can fish the Columbia. They sell fish locally and I always recommend buying from them. They are a repository of that knowledge, and a great source for Northwest school teachers or speakers for your event. The Intertribal Fish Commission collects the deep knowledge of thousands of generations of fish in our rivers. They are a voice for that knowledge for us new arrivers of only 6 generations. If you eat fish, especially salmon, they are a great resource.
