Located on the Methow River, the camp is now called North Cascades Smokejumper Base. At the beginning of the season, I usually rode a Grey- hound bus to Pateros where the Methow River flows into the Columbia. From there the Methow Valley Stage Line would take me to Twisp, and I would make my way over the last four miles to camp any way I could. In 1948 I got off the bus in Pateros only to find out that the highway up the Methow was closed. Every bridge between Winthrop and Pateros had washed out. So, it was back on the bus to Okanogan, where the Chelan National 123456789012345678901234567890 123456789012345678901234567890 123456789012345678901234567890 The remains of the loft after the flood.

LEETE INTRODUCTION Fires in the hardwood forests of southern Ohio are similar in a general way as to behavior and effect to those of Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, and other eastern hardwood states. Ohio fires practically .neve:t< "crown"; they creep or run along the ground; they are seldom spectacu­ lar; they have to date taken no toll in human life; they do not wipe out villages and towns in their path; and they may be controlled, if taken in time, with relative ease. Because of the enormous sprouting capacity of most of the native hardwood species and the luxuriant growth of sprouts, shrubs, and vines following a fire, the damage that has been done by an Ohio fire is frequently Qbscured from untrained eyes. The fires naturally vary greatly in intensity according to the weather conditions, the quantity and kinds of fuel present, the IJoint of origin with reference to the surrounding topography, and other such factors. The damage runs all the way from none at all to a total killing of the stand.

Montana’s forestlands support our economy, our communities, our homes, and our lives. Forests have always been important to life in Montana. Have you ever sat under a tall pine tree, looked up at its branches sweeping the sky, and wondered what was happen- ing when that tree first sprouted? Some trees in Montana are 300 or 400 years old—the oldest living creatures in the state. They rooted before horses came to the Plains. Think of all that has happened within their life spans. Trees and forests are a big part of life in Montana. They support our economy, employ our people, build our homes, protect our rivers, provide habitat for wildlife, influence poli- tics, and give us beautiful places to play and be quiet.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Media Contact: Lauren Jahoda v.845.583.2193 Photos & Interviews may be available upon request [email protected] ROGER DALTREY TO PERFORM THE WHO’S TOMMY WITH MEMBERS OF THE WHO BAND & THE HUDSON VALLEY PHILHARMONIC AT BETHEL WOODS ON FRIDAY, JUNE 8 Tickets On-Sale February 2 at 10am BETHEL, NY (January 29, 2018) – Legendary Who frontman and Woodstock ’69 alum Roger Daltrey will be performing the band’s most iconic masterpiece this summer, the groundbreaking TOMMY, on a special 10 city solo tour featuring full orchestral backing. The tour will open in Bethel, NY on Friday, June 8th at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, where Daltrey and his band will be joined on stage by the acclaimed Hudson Valley Philharmonic, showcasing the beloved classics from the 1969 rock opera, including “Pinball Wizard,” “See Me, Feel Me” and more. Tickets go on-sale Friday, February 2 at 10 a.m. at www.BethelWoodsCenter.org, The Bethel Woods Box Office, www.Ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets, or by phone at 1.800.745.3000. Considered one of the seminal albums of the rock canon, last year The Who played all of TOMMY for the first time in 28 years at the Royal Albert Hall in London as part of a benefit concert for the Teenage Cancer Trust. Roger performed it in its entirety with his band during his 2011 solo tour. The opportunity to bring an orchestral dynamic to the raw emotion and cathartic impact of the songs that cemented Daltrey’s legacy as a vocal powerhouse adds a compelling dimension to the music’s timelessness.

Je premakljiv praznik, od datuma velike noči so odvisni tudi datumi nekaterih drugih cerkvenih praznikov in pust. Določeno je, da se praznik obhaja prvo nedeljo po prvi spomladanski luni, to je med 22. marcem in 25. aprilom. Kristjani na ta dan praznujejo Jezusovo vstajenje od mrtvih. To je obenem čas setve, ki pomeni zmago dobrih pomladno-poletnih duhov nad zimskimi demoni. Po dolgem štiridesetdnevnem postu, ki traja od pepelnične srede, dneva po pustnem torku, do velike noči, se velikonočne dobrote prav gotovo priležejo. Praznovanje velike noči se od države do države razlikuje. Na veliki petek je zapovedan strogi post, na veliko soboto se blagoslovijo jedila, ta pa se nato zaužijejo za nedeljski zajtrk. Tudi po Sloveniji ta praznik praznujemo različno, verniki po verskem izročilu, za vse druge pa je velika noč praznik uživanja v dobri hrani.
