NW today: Trout face climate change troubles

What’s news in the Northwest today:

BOISE — A study by fisheries researchers concludes that climate change might cut the West’s trout habitat in half over the next 70 years. The Idaho Statesman reports the study was published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Trout Unlimited’s Seth Wenger and U.S. Forest Service biologist Dan Isaak were among 11 researchers who found, among other things, that cutthroat habitat could dwindle between 33 percent and 58 percent. That’s after the range of cutthroat habitat has already shrunk by more than 85 percent due to competition from non-native species like rainbow trout and brook trout. Two subspecies have already gone extinct. Isaak said he knows there will be skeptics but defends the foundations of the research. The climate predictions are based on 10 of the 20 climate models developed independently worldwide that all show the world is getting warmer. “The climate models have been right for 30 years and they are getting better all the time,” Isaak said. The study concludes warmer winters are causing more winter floods that wash away the gravel that holds brook and brown trout eggs.

Oregon state trooper jailed on shooting charge

ALBANY, Ore. — An Oregon State Police sergeant has been accused of firing a round through the door of his house in Albany, leading to a standoff with officers. The Albany Democrat-Herald reports that 41-year-old Corey John Simons faces charges of reckless endangering and unlawful use of a weapon. Albany police say they went to Simons’ house Sunday night after an acquaintance called them saying Simons was depressed and she feared he might harm himself. When police arrived, they heard a shot and called for reinforcements. About three hours later, Simons, alone in the house, gave up. Police say he was taken to the hospital for mental evaluation, jailed and then released. A State Police spokesman said today that Simons is on paid leave, and the agency would do an internal investigation.

Harry Gilleland Writes: Book Trailer for Aldric and Anneliese Now ...

My book trailer for my latest novel "Aldric and Anneliese", a historical fiction action-adventure love story, has recently received its 1,004-th 'hit'. I never expected that many views. However, despite the large number of viewing for the book's trailer, there has been a paucity of sales for Aldric and Anneliese. Any ideas why that might be? I can tell you the lack of sales is rather disheartening.
