    8/30/2019 email (4).html McCall Winter Sports Club Newsletter | August '19 I hope this email finds you well, happy, healthy and enjoying summer. Still five months until ski season. For some it's not soon enough. For these nine athletes it was a teaser to be on snow at Mt. Hood this past week. Five days skiing on a glacier, lunches on the mountain, swimming, hiking, team-building and camping-in with friends. Sounds like a lot of fun, but all that aside it's a privilege for each of these skiers as they've worked hard to be there. Whatever the end- goal is for gate training, video review and early mornings to start it off; this experience for the athletes won't be forgoen or dismissed. That's a win in the eyes of Coach Dave Rosen who's goal was to share the same experience he fondly remembers as a young skier himself with his athletes. Keep reading for other happenings and announcements from McCall Winter Sports Club; including the naming of our Alpine Ski Race Program Director and Head Coach, Ski Bum Scramble, Pints for a Cause, athlete scholarships, IMD race schedule and other winter teasers! Special thanks to Coach Dave for his commitment to solid days of training on and off the mountain. Thank you to Lissa Beebe for cooking meals and being Team Mom to the athletes away from their families.

  • In the High Country: Crafting Long-Form Stories on Recreation and the Environment
    IN THE HIGH COUNTRY: CRAFTING LONG-FORM STORIES ON RECREATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT by PAIGE BLANKENBUEHLER Bill Allen, project chair Mark Horvit Sara Shipley-Hiles Scott Swafford December 2015 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This project would not have been possible without the guidance of my High Country News editors. In particular, I owe a great debt to Brian Calvert, the magazine’s managing editor, for his remarkable insights into the big picture of every story. He taught me the art of journalistic analysis — what it means! — and that, in and of itself, is a powerful gift. A special thanks is also owed to Tay Wiles, HCN’s web editor, who graciously gave me the real estate to publish the articles online, and continually helped me realistically achieve my goals. Bill Allen, the project chair, deserves a long list of gratitude, I’d like to give specific thanks for his careful guidance through this project and numerous others, an analytical eye in the snake-filled swards of Costa Rica, and always making sure I wasn’t venturing into the field without a flashlight. ii DEDICATION This behemoth of my graduate work is dedicated with love to Michael Koboldt, who patiently lent his ears to my gripes. Further, with the encouragement from my parents, Roger and Christine, I followed a dream to pursue journalism. My passion for this craft is a fruit of their support, and I hope the completion of this project serves as a token of my appreciation. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS…………………………………………………ii DEDICATION……………………………………………………………...iii ABSTRACT………………………………………………………………...iv Chapter 1.

  • Appendix a Public Involvement
    Appendix A Public Involvement 100 Legal and Administrative Framework (violations, lack of disclosure, decisionmaking, laws, regulations, policy) Concern Statement 100.01 The Forest Service must comply with section 1501.6 regarding cooperating agency involvement throughout the NEPA process. Response to Concern 100.01 The Forests have worked closely with numerous Federal, State, and local governmental agencies throughout the process. Appendix A of the Final Environmental Impact Statement provides a listing of coordination meetings that have occurred since the beginning of the revision process. Concern Statement 100.02 The Forest Service should explain what statute gives it authority to manage by ecosystems. The Forests have a mandate to manage as close to the ground as possible. The authorizing language for ecosystem management comes from the Endangered Species Act, in which land use regulations are authorized only to protect members of listed species from harm. Ecosystem management would greatly expand federal land use regulation at the discretion of federal agencies; the primary problem being the loss of private property without compensation, an even worse situation than under the current species-by-species approach. Response to Concern 100.02 There is not a specific statute the Forest Service uses as an authority to manage by ecosystems. An ecosystems approach was adopted by the agency in 1992 as it provides for a more complete approach to considering the components of the environment (biological, physical, economic and social), how the components interact, and the effects of management actions on those components. Ecosystem management does not expand federal land use regulation nor does it infer any claim to private property.
