"I’ll page through them, and the words or
the titles of chapters will intrigue me."

".Sometime* it * the content of the hook. hut

After selecting a work that intrigues him,
Crispin edit* the txjok by adding his own
prose, changing the story sometimes and

Forester stresses importance of conservation

From Port Orford Cedar to
Hollander *. Lilly, forester and
activist George Shook took his
andmw e on a hiking tour of the
Siskiyou forest Thursday night,
introducing them to organisms
indigenous to forest lands and
threatened by the old-growth
timber harvest
Shook. V). earned his forestry
degree from Syracuse University
and has worked for the Forest
Serve e and private corporations
He's advut ated ancient forest
protection for the last ten years,
aligning himself with Barth First*,
and more recently, with the
Siskiyou Regional Education
Progs t
Shook s two hour slide show
and lecture, sponsored by the
University Outdoor Program,
journeyed deep into an area
devoid of roads of the Siskiyou
forest, stopping along the vsav

and corporate protagonists
continue to butt heads over
"Right now, i edar is at the
heart of the controversy." Shook
said
He said the (xxiar root systems

pools vital for fish reproduction

trees are sum rptiblt to a water

Coder Disease. Oiu e the pathogen

trigging roads he said, allow the
disease to spread rapidly (as ause
the iptaw hitch tt ride on logging
equipment and settle into the
water table as the machinery
travels up a road
However, he said the Forest
Service is still intent on punching
roads through the region.
“The Forest Service is doing
everything it can to avoid a
moratorium on budding roads in
the Fort Orford cedar areas." he
said
The Forest Service has
experimented with steam
cleaning logging equipment to
eliminate spore* ami removing
cedar trees along logging roads to
prevent the spread of the
pathogen But both methods.
Shook said have been
unsuccessful. The root systems

pathways through which they
share nutrients
According to Sfiook. the Forest
Service allowed the pathogen to
infect the stumps and spread to
other trees through the complex
root system by leaving the stumps
of chopped cedar trees along
logging roads
Shook said the Port Orford
cedar is popular in |apen Iwcmise

country. is prized for its religious
signifu ance Hei .a use residents
of japan want Port Orford i edar
in their home as a status symbol.
i edar lumber is worth ten times
its domestic value on the
jnpanese market
"Congress saw fit in its infinite
wisdom to consider i edar to bo
surplus and exportable." Shook
said.
He also said those factors make
i edar old-growth in the Siskiyou
region vulnerable to harvesting
Shook urged his audience to
jump into the ring on
conservation issues and to stand
up against sales of timherland
that is out there for everyone to
enjoy
Shook also for uvd on otto MH1
(ii re picrt of Siskiyou land known
ns the Sugarloaf Sale. The old
growth sale was the first to be
enacted after President Clinton’s
plan for Northwest logging went
into effe< t. The Forest Service
awarded the sale to the Boise
(jim ade corporation in August of
1984
Shook and other critu s claim
the area is a "key watershed,"
vital to the revitalization of
salmon stocks and a habitat for
cougar, blai k hear and the
Northern Spotted Owl. They
contend the sale should not have
been allowed because the
Sugarloaf area lies within an
ancient furest reserve.
Now Shook and the Siskiyou
Education Projei t are hoping
public pressure on Boise Caw ade
will prevent the harvest of the
Sugarloaf region.
"It 's kind of a last resort thing,"
Shook said We've exhausted
other possibilities This is what
we have left.
"It gives us an opportunity to
really direct efforts at the
corporations.” he said “Corporate
power is really what these forest
problems are all about.”
Anti-insemination bill introduced in Oregon Legislature
Ben Moebius
Oa^on Lit ), t met Mil
Kami!) values, a popular buzzword in
national politics, is now finding its ambiguous
way into Oregon's legislative arena
State Rep Kev in Mannix. 11-Salem, t mated
a public stir and a wove of response through
the media with a rec ent hill lie introduced
last Week The hill would make it illegal
for on unmarried woman to he artificially
inseminated in Oregon
Mannix. who distant od himself from the
c onservative Oregon Citizens Alliance, used
a popular OCA catchword to defend his
newest bill
"I'm not casting stones with this hill," he
said "The (X'.A tends to bag things together
and lash out at groups I just want to support
the traditional family values of our nation "
Mannix said the state should work to affirm
those values that seem most productive and
healthy "It’s best for the child that it la* raised
in a safe, sec ure environment." Mannix said
Single motherhood and gay parenthood
are unsafe lifestyles. m ( ording to Mannix
Currently, married women who are
riiHt tally inseminated must get the consent
of their husbands, but unmarried women are
not required to have anyone’s consent There
■lie also mi law. in Oregon prohibiting
adoption by single parents or homosexuals
Mannix has also lalroduuni two other lulls
One would prohibit surrogate motherhood
control ts and the other would declare legal
marriage between a man and a woman a
spec tal relationship that should be favored
and supported hy the state Mannix said -t)
to 30 other states hast* prohibited surrogate
motherhood because it tends to have dramatic
negative effects on the surrogate mother.
Mannix admitted his hills do not have much
chance of being passed, but said the role of
government on moral issues should he to
affirm those ideals it approves.
Opponents of the hills contest Manmx s
view of government involvement House
representative Lisa Naito, D-Portland, said
the kind of debit!!1 Mannix has created is
counterproductive and off track.
“lot's not talk about labeling." Naito said
"That is not our rule The healthy way to focus
on family values is to value families."'
Naito said government should be discussing
issues like poverty and homelessness She
s<iid homosexual parenting and artifil ial
insemination do not lead to neglected or
abuaed children.
"You can't match up labels of sexual
orientation and abuse," she said.
Dominick Vetri, « law school professor at
the University, said the government is
involved with main laws that relate to family
issues, hut that government should never
assert a moral position because of religious
values
"We have lots of Ians about marriage and
how property should he divided after
divorce." Vetri said "Those are necessary
laws But the structure of the family should
never lie determined by government."
