This is a nuclear advocate justifying his view of our energy future. He conveniently forgets that nukes are NOT green. If anyone thinks dealing with nuclear waste and mining uranium is environmentally friendly or ever can be, they are smoking some really strong stuff. Even more dishonest is the Hydro Reform Coalition picking up this story and running with it with the blinders on. See their web site on the subject: http://www.hydroreform.org/news/2007/07/25/hydropower-most-damaging-power- source-per-square-meter (Hint: Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the link.) The following is a letter sent to the Hydro Reform Coalition: “As an organization, your anti-hydro and anti-dam rhetoric has reached a new low. The use of the Ausubel so-called study which is a blatant justification for nuclear power is a distortion of the facts taken out of context to justify your opposition to hydropower. Your mention of wind power is also misleading and dishonest. Wind power is notoriously undependable and could never be relied upon to offset hydropower which has the ability to respond to power demands because its storage reservoirs have potential energy ready to be called upon on demand. If we are so foolish as to not develop our hydropower potential, we would inevitably have more coal, natural gas, and nuclear plants, all of which have serious environmental and safety issues.

    Citizen Road Survey and Monitoring Project 2014 Accomplishment Report Olympic Forest Coalition in collaboration with Olympic National Forest and Great Old Broads for Wilderness Polly Dyer/Cascadia Broadband Prepared by Shelley Spalding January 2015 Citizen Road Survey and Monitoring Project 2014 Accomplishment Report January 2015 Introduction The Olympic Forest Coalition (OFCO), an all-volunteer organization, initiated its citizen road survey and monitoring project in the South Fork (SF) Skokomish watershed in 2009. In 2010, 2011 and 2014, we continued to train citizens in data collection, GPS use, and map and compass reading with the goal of providing the Forest Service with information that will help reduce the risk of impacts on streams and fish habitat from temporary roads constructed for thinning harvest. OFCO developed and implemented the Citizen Road Survey and Monitoring Project as a viable way to collect information on roads and trails within the Olympic National Forest that potentially could contribute to degraded aquatic conditions. In addition, the project provides an excellent opportunity to educate citizens about road conditions and land management practices that have the potential to harm or degrade aquatic systems, as well as ways to work to eliminate these risks. In 2014, more than 25 hikers and conservationists from the nearby area and the local chapter of Great Old Broads for Wilderness (the Polly Dyer Cascadia Broadband) volunteered to participate in the road and trail surveys for this project. OFCO provided the volunteers with training in using GPS, compass and data forms; the Broads provided the boots on the ground. OFCO lead for this program, Shelley Spalding, is a retired U.S.

  • Mount Olympus National Monument
    THE MOUNT OLYMPUS NATIONAL MONUMENT Previous to the expeditions of the latter part of the nineteenth century, the area which includes within its bounds the present Mount Olympus National Monument was the subject of the most fanciful speculation. This region, embracing the very heart of the rugged alpine area lying in the center of the Olympic peninsula, was her­ alded widely as the most isolated and unknown country in the United States. Rumors circulated of prairie or valley lands supposedly ex­ isting amidst the mountains, harboring ferocious animals and wild cannibal Indian tribes. No definite knowledge concerning this vir­ gin area existed; while the Indian dwellings on the fringes of this region continued to relate strange legends about the mountain coun­ try. But today, happily, the scenic beauty and grandeur of the heart of the Olympics is common knowledge. The notion of fierce animals and cannibals has been displaced as enthusiastic thousands are coming more and more to realize the unlimited possibilities of the Olympics as a playground and recreational area of unsurpassed beauty and pleasure. The Olympic peninsula is dominated by the huge central mass, the Olympic Mountains, which diminish gradually in altitude until they form a low plateau on the edges of the peninsula. The moun­ tains in the center, of which Mount Olympus with an altitude of 8200 feet is the culminating peak, tend to run east to west and are from twenty miles long by fifteen wide. A western limb with de­ creasing altitude extends toward Cape Flattery. It is

They bring jobs and economic benefits to local communities and they provide critical habitat for salmon and steelhead, and other fish and wildlife. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act was passed in 1968 to protect our nation’s last, best free-flowing rivers. Wild and Scenic designation–the strongest protection a river can receive–ensures that the free-flowing character, water quality and outstanding values of these rivers are protected for generations to come. Many of the Northwest’s most iconic rivers are protected as Wild and Scenic–the Rogue in Oregon, the Salmon in Idaho, and the Skagit in Washington.
