Mike's Gulch Roadless Logging: Scorned, Sold and Sued

o2, 10.06.2006 - 10:53
IMGP2205.jpgJune 9 - Medford, OR - Two major victories were scored today for Mike's Gulch, a threatened forest in Oregon's largest roadless area, the South Kalmiopsis. The area's Congressman clearly stated his opposition to logging and the State's Governor announced he is filing a lawsuit in Federal Court to block the sale.

Only one week ago the Bush Administration announced they were selling timber in a roadless forest for the first time since overturning the Clinton-era rule protecting 59 million acres of roadless forests from logging. People across the country quickly moved to be heard and to convince the two public officials to take serious action in favor of wildland protections.

Forest lovers are celebrating today because it worked.

In announcing his decision to seek a temporary restraining oorder to halt logging, Governor Kulongoski said, "this timber sale, coming four years after the Biscuit Fire occurred, is unneeded and unwise. Opening this particular roadless area to salvage logging now - when we are in the process of preparing a petition to the federal government on the proper management of those areas - contradicts the assurances the Bush Administration has made that the governors' opinions on such issues will be respected."

Roadless Red Alert!

o2, 06.06.2006 - 10:18
Imminent Logging Threatens Oregon's Largest Roadless Area

Breaking news: The Bush administration is planning to auction the controversial Mike's Gulch roadless logging project this Friday, June 9th. Logging could begin within days after the auction.

The Mike's Gulch timber sale would saw into the largest roadless forest in Oregon: the 105,000-acre South Kalmiopsis Roadless Area. In addition to harming the South Kalmiopsis, Mike's Gulch would set a dangerous national precedent by logging roadless forests for the first time since the 2001 Roadless Rule was approved.

Hoopa Tribal member asks Pacific Power to take out Iron Gate dam at thier office Latest Update as posted on Indybay IMC
 http://www.indybay.org/news/2006/05/1824167.php

May 26th,27th, & 28th, 2006
This year's run is a three day event that will end at Iron Gate Dam on the 28th

What is the salmon run relay all about?
In light of the fish kill that claimed 72,000 plus salmon along the Lower Klamath in September 2002, the tribes, several organizations and the youth of the communities in the Klamath-Trinity region are coordinating a relay run. With this event we hope to: unite the communities affected by the lack of water and fish in our rivers; raise consciousness of the impacts to our people's well-being, health, and culture with the lack of water and fish in our rivers; and bring attention to the need for better water quality in our rivers to help ensure there won't be a repeat of 2002's catastrophic fish kill

Eman's presentation about Iraq War on TV

imc volunteer , 18.05.2006 - 11:38
Local activist Linda Richards and Eman This March five Iraqi mothers traveled across the United States telling their story of what is happening in Iraq. Eman's March 21 evening presentation to a full house at the Unitarian Church in Ashland was followed by another full house the next night at the Medford Library. Neither of these events were covered by ANY local newspapers or television, yet all of these corporate owned media report on Iraq news every single day! Independent media was there and now makes this "news" available to all Jackson and Josephine County residents who have cable TV.

Eman's Medford Presentation of March 22, 2006 will now be on cable access television May 24 with a repeat on May 31. Both cablecasts are at 6 p.m. and can be found on the following channels:

Jackson County - channel 31
Josephine County - channel 15
Ashland Fiber Network - channel 95

Volunteer Center at St. Mary's school - upper 9th ward Students from Southern Oregon University and Rogue Valley community members went to New Orleans during spring break with a big dose of solidarity. Sunny Lindley was one of them. She shares her journal with us.--rogueimcvolunteer

"My last day at St. Mary's I overheard some folks who had attended the church service that day talking about the most recent body that was found, a five year-old girl. She had her backpack on, fully packed for an overnight stay. She was found several miles from her own neighborhood, seven months after the levees failed and washed her away."--sunnylindley
