Page 10 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, September 27, 2006 Kulongoski happy about roadless conservation MAD HATTERS was the theme of a women’s gathering (bottom photo) at Illinois Valley Senior Center, Friday, Sept. 22.

(Photos by Michelle Binker, ‘Illinois Valley News’) Oregon Gov. Kulon- goski praises a decision by federal Magistrate Elizabeth Laporte in San Francisco to invalidate the Bush admini- stration’s 2005 State Petition Rule and restore the Clinton Roadless Conservation Rule. Her ruling could affect two Biscuit Fire salvage sales. However, helicopter logging continued at the Mike’s Gulch Sale near Illi- nois Valley, and fallers were working at the Blackberry Sale west of Galice. A spokesman for Siski- you National Forest noted that logging continuing be- cause at the district level, court rulings are not inter- preted. U.S. Forest Service legal aides are examining the ruling and effect. The forest service as- serts that logging at the sales does not affect roadless characteristics. It added that a condition in Clinton’s 2001 Roadless Rule allows salvaging burned timber. Oregon, Washington, California, and New Mexico initiated the lawsuit to chal- lenge the Bush administra- tion’s repeal of the Clinton era protections. Kulongoski said that the original 2001 Clinton Roadless Rule was a product of intensive evalua- tion, analysis and public input. Confusion dialing 911 explained Results of a survey re- veal general public confu- sion on how 911 works when dialing from cell phones or Internet phones vs. a traditional landline phone, according to NENA/ Qwest Communications. Two-thirds of people don’t think landline phones are necessary, and 37 per- cent of survey respondents have only cordless phones in their homes. However, more than half do not understand that cordless phones rely on elec- tricity, and will not function if the power goes out. Also, 911 operators do not receive location informa- tion when a caller dials from a cell phone: it has to be communicated verbally be- tween both parties, which slows emergency response time. Contacting 911 from a traditional, corded landline phone is the safest, most reliable way, according to the announcement. “The ruling is a signifi- cant victory for our efforts to protect nearly two million acres of roadless areas,” claimed Kulongoski. “These acres offer some of the best hunting and fishing in our state, and should be pre- served as part of every Ore- gonians’ natural heritage.” He added that, “Oregonians should have the opportunity to have a meaningful role in determin- ing the future of our forests. “The ruling should put to rest more than 30 years of debate so we can focus on more critical forest priorities -- like addressing declining forest health, catastrophic wildfires, and creating sus- tainable and predictable har- vest levels.” In invalidating the 2005 Bush administration rule, the court explicitly rein- stated the more protective 2001 Clinton rule, said Ku- longoski. “The court invalidated the 2005 rule,” he said, “because, prior to adopting the rule, the federal govern- ment failed to perform the environmental assessments required by the National En- vironmental Policy Act. “The court also found that the federal government had failed to consult wildlife agencies as required by the Endangered Species Act,” said Kulongoski.
