No More Clear Cuts!
Liisa, 02-11-2008 - 17:55
On October 9, 2008, the BLM released its Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Western Oregon Plan Revisions (WOPR). The BLM’s final proposal would clearcut 74,000 acres of stands over 80 years old in the first decade and 27% of the remaining old growth across 96,200 acres of BLM lands over the next 100 years. The WOPR will increase logging by nearly 400% compared to current logging levels; get over 70% of the timber volume from clearcutting; shrink streamside reserves by 50%; add 180 million tons more carbon to the atmosphere compared to no logging and result in 1,300 miles of new roads.
The final plan will mirror the draft in most regards. It will: 1) remove BLM forests from the scientific framework of the Northwest Forest Plan; 2) ramp up clearcut logging across hundreds of thousands of acres; 3) remove streamside buffers that protect clean water and fish; and 4) log some of the last remaining older forests in western Oregon.

No More War! 50 Years Later
Author is Linda Richards from Ashland, Oregon, 23-10-2008 - 09:29
Southern Oregonian Linda Richards is attending graduate school in Corvallis Oregon where she is studying at Oregon State University. Our peace activist friend who has worked so long to end the threat of nuclear war recently wrote an article that appeared in an OSU publication. Learning about her writing we asked Linda if we could post it to the Rogue IMC so that others could see her work. Linda responded:
"thanks for the suggestion of posting my piece, sometimes I feel like the points I am trying to make get lost and I look like a shameless self promoter but what I want is to keep nuclear news in the news, it so easily slips out of view. (the article) was actually much stronger originally but it was edited.... so I wasn't sure it was so cool anymore, but the picture alone makes me happy and is a way for the people who helped me here know I am still doing my peace work, just in a different way..."
Continue for first Linda's introduction and then her article "No More War! 50 Years Later"
