    JOLENE UNSOELD “Un-sold” www.sos.wa.gov/legacy who ARE we? | Washington’s Kaleidoscope Jolene addresses an anxious group of employees at Hoquiam Plywood Company in 1988 as the uncertainty over timber supplies intensifies. Kathy Quigg/The Daily World Introduction: “The Meddler” imber workers in her district were mad as hell over set- asides to protect the Northern Spotted Owl. Rush Lim- Tbaugh branded her a “feminazi.” Gun-control advocates called her a flip-flopper. It was the spring of 1994 and Con- gresswoman Jolene Unsoeld of Olympia was girding for the political fight of her life. CSPAN captured her in a bitter de- bate with abortion opponents. Dick Armey, Newt Gingrich’s sidekick, was standing tall in his armadillo-skin cowboy boots, railing against the “self-indulgent conduct” of women who had been “damned careless” with their bodies. As other Republi- cans piled on, Unsoeld’s neck reddened around her trademark pearl choker. Men just don’t get it, she shot back. “Reproductive health is at the very core of a woman’s existence. If you want to be brutally frank, what it compares with is if you had health- care plans that did not cover any illness related to testicles.

  • THE WILD CASCADES SUMMER - 1988 2 the Wild Cascades PRESIDENT's MESSAGE
    THE WILD CASCADES SUMMER - 1988 2 The Wild Cascades PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE DAVE FLUHARTY Why a Wilderness legislation for national parks and national recreation areas? Aren't these areas already fully protected? Shouldn't we spend our time and resources trying to protect old-growth forests slated for logging? These and other questions are being posed as we discuss the Washington Park Wilderness Act of 1988 with politicians, state officials, and even our friends in the environmental community. With this issue of The Wild Cascades, we take the opportunity to answer these important questions. When Congress passed the Wilderness Act in September 1964 it was responding to the need to protect lands in a forever wild condition. The Wilderness Act authorized all major land management agencies to designate and manage wilderness under the same protection mandate. It provided that certain areas were automatically designated parts of the National Wilderness Preservation System. It also instructed the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior to review all eligible land within their jurisdictions and to make recommendations to Congress for areas considered suitable for wilderness designation. Wilderness maps were prepared for National Park Service administered areas in Washington State by 1972 and there were even bills introduced into Congress to authorize these plans. However, the priority for wilderness designations in national park areas was secondary to battling for similar designations in national forest areas at that time. Furthermore, the legal wranglings over construction of High Ross Dam were in full swing and these affected the outcome of the Ross Lake National Recreation Area Wilderness Proposal.
