  • Autumn Issue, 1983 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE
    FRIENDS OF THE COLUMBIA GORGE WINDS IN THE GORGE Autumn Issue, 1983 LEGISLATIVE UPDATE In early August, Columbia River Gorge legislation drafted by the Oregon and Washington governors was introduced into Congress by Senators Hatfield, Gorton, and Jackson and by all Washington and Oregon Representatives, with the excep­ tion of Rep. Denny Smith. The Senators introduced the Governors' legislation "by request", which often indicates less than wholehearted support. Friends of the Columbia Gorge believes the introduction of the Governors' bill represents progress, particularly because it brings the Washington delega­ tion firmly aboard with respect to federal legislation to protect the Gorge. However, the bill must be kept in perspective. It represents only a be­ ginning; as it is presently drafted, the bill would not protect the Gorge. This is primarily because the Governors' bill has removed any signifi­ cant federal or national role from Gorge management. Of the fourteen voting Commission members who are charged with creating a management plan and actually managing the Gorge, at the very least ten will be from the local Gorge counties. All fourteen may be from these counties. Unfortunately, the Governors' bill provides no assurance that the Commission members will possess the technical knowledge or even the inclination to draft a sophisticated, detailed management plan, which is required for the Gorge. The Forest Service, however, possesses the requisite experience, skills and resources to protect the Gorge. Moreover, it is only fair to grant the fed­ eral government an equal role (with local and state governments) in Gorge man­ agement, since it is the largest landowner in the Gorge, and is required to pay the full costs of any Gorge legislation.

Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan.
