TO THE EDITOR
to be spread. This is still very much a
man’s world, and although things have
changed a lot over the past couple hundred
years, there are still many changes that
need to be made for women and men to be
considered truly equal. A woman deserves
respect as much as a man does in any job
she chooses to perform.
Kudos to Sonja Fry for working so
hard to make this world a better place by
focusing on the issue at hand. It would be
wonderful to get better care for women
vets and women soldiers. It would be
even more incredible to get money to put
towards prevention programs. I wish them
the best of luck, give them my full support,
and thank you for raising awareness.

KIDS CENTER CLOSING
When I think that things can’t get
worse, they do! The jubilant crowd
that celebrated the failure of the Strong
Schools tax initiative and the prospect
of losing Civic Stadium to commercial
interests were hard to take. Even harder
is the imminent closing of the First Place
Kids Center, which offers three meals,
stability and solace to the children of the
homeless.
Perhaps budgets are not written in
stone. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to make
the decision to forego those beautiful
fl ower baskets and landscaping in parks
in favor of keeping this wonderful facility
in place? My own neighborhood will soon
celebrate the opening of a wading pool —
the children at First Place don’t have the
greenery or the fun of water play; even now
the little that they have may soon be lost.
Most of the compassionate folk in
this area would agree, or offer other
suggestions which hopefully will level the
playing fi eld.

REAL CARBON STORAGE
Two inconvenient truths about the
EW cover story “Carbon Nation: CO2
injection hits the Northwest” (6/16).
Your story interviewed OSU professor
Mark Harmon but did not mention his
extensive research on forest sequestration
of carbon. He has documented how old
forests store far more carbon than tree
farms.
In January 2008, Harmon and his
colleague Olga Krankina spoke at the
“Clearcutting the Climate” conference
(which I co-organized). The videos of
their presentations are available at www.
forestclimate.org In summary, if the
environmentalists really want to see carbon
levels decrease we would need to have the
tree farms grow back into old forests, but that
would require challenging the Democrats in
