    The Monthly Newsmagazine of Boise State University Vol. X, No. 4 Boise Idaho March 1985 Legislators work on budgets for education After already rejecting one appro· priation bill for higher education, state legislators, at FOCUS press time, were searching for funds to add to the budgets of higher education and public schools for fiscal 1986. Earlier in the session, the House of Representatives voted 55·29 against a bill that would have allocated S84.8 million for the Jour state·supported schools. an increase of 7 percent over last year.

Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature and regret is useless.

  • Steamboat Oneonta, Columbia River by C
    Steamboat Oneonta, Columbia River By C. E. Watkins, photographer The Oneonta, a side-wheeler steamboat built in 1863 by Samuel Forman, gave the Oregon Steam Navigation Company a transportation link on the “middle” part of the Columbia River. The steamer, which was modeled on Mississippi River boats, traveled between the Cascade Rapids and the lower part of Celilo Falls. Steamers could not safely pass the falls or the rapids, which consisted of a 4.5-mile stretch of boulders, eddies, and twelve — twenty-four-foot waterfalls. Passengers and goods were moved around these navigational obstacles on portages, initially rough trails that were eventually developed into railroad tramways. River traffic between Portland and upriver locations in Idaho and eastern Oregon dramatically increased in the 1860s, when gold was discovered in those regions. Business decreased after the rush ended. In 1870, OSNC president John C. Ainsworth piloted the Oneonta on a risky run down the Cascades at high water to serve the more popular route between there and Portland. The company retired the Oneonta in 1877, and the boat served as a barge for several years before being abandoned in 1880. In this photograph, taken by Carlton E. Watkins in 1867, the portage railroad can be seen behind the Oneonta. Further Reading: Mills, Randall V. Stern-wheelers up Columbia. Palo Alto, Calif., 1947.

  • March 9, 2021 Brenda Mallory Chair White House Council On
    March 9, 2021 Brenda Mallory Chair White House Council on Environmental Quality 730 Jackson Pl NW Washington, DC 20506 Via email Re: Utility disconnection moratorium for Tennessee Valley Authority Dear Ms. Mallory, Please find attached petitions signed by over 21,500 people from Tennessee and beyond urging the Tennessee Valley Authority to institute a utility shutoff moratorium throughout its service area. As the letters attached state, “Without electricity, people won’t be able to shelter in homes that are a safe temperature, support remote schooling for their kids, or refrigerate their medicines. It is a decision that literally has life-or-death consequences.” For several months throughout the pandemic, advocates have urged TVA to institute such a moratorium, but to no avail.
