In chronological order, it details our efforts to encourage the involvement of the public and conservation partners: other Federal and State agencies, Tribes, county officials, civic groups, nongovernmental conservation and education organizations, and user groups. It also identifies who contributed in writing the plan or significantly contributed to its contents. It does not detail the dozens of informal discussions the refuge manager and his staff have had over the last two years where the CCP was a topic of conversation. Those involved a wide range of audiences, including local community leaders and other residents, refuge neighbors, refuge visitors, and other interested individuals. During those discussions, the refuge manager and his staff often would provide an update on our progress and encourage comments and other participation. A 30-day period for public review follows our release of this draft CCP/EA. We encourage you to respond with your ideas about the plan. During that period, we will host open-house public meetings at locations near the refuge to gather opinions and answer questions about our proposals. We will weigh public responses carefully before we finalize the CCP.

  • When You Read This, You'll Have an Advantage. You Will Know
    1 Prelude March 2010 hen you read this, you’ll have an advantage. you will know who won. As i begin to write, however, i’m not even sure W who’s running. That the republican candidate for the United states senate from pennsylvania in 2010 will be forty-eight-year- old patrick Joseph Toomey, sr., of Zionsville in the lehigh valley is the only certainty. Well, that and the likelihood that this race will prove to be among the most compelling of a particularly tumultuous election year. Who wouldn’t want to write about it? Toomey’s opponent, to be determined in the may 18 Democratic primary, will be either the five-term incumbent, eighty-year-old Arlen specter of philadelphia, or fifty-eight-year-old former admiral and Congressman Joseph A. sestak, Jr., of secane, Delaware County, in the philadelphia suburbs. For Toomey, facing specter in the 2010 general election would represent a peculiar rematch of their very close primary contest in 2004. There is nothing new about trying to define each party’s ideologi- cal distinctions. Almost five decades ago Barry Goldwater pledged “a choice, not an echo.” some three decades before that, when the power of his improbable new Deal electoral coalition was at its height, Frank- lin roosevelt mused about party realignment, on the english style, with everyone on the right united under the republican banner, and all those on the left (a perpetual majority, he hoped) gathered under the great tent 2 / Chapter 1 of the Democrats. it never happened. But, in whatever form, the two-party system has survived, despite the occasional emergence of a George Wallace or ross perot.
