I’m talking about work- ing from inadvertent memory. “This kind of memory rises to the surface of conscious- ness without intention or de- sign on my part. I don’t reach for memory — I let memory reach for me. In this class we will look at a couple memoir excerpts and do writing exer- cises that encourage writers to get out of the way then pay close attention to what materi- alizes. At the end we shall read aloud from our work!

Call Liana at 541-386-1234 ext. 220 lstegall@hoodrivernews.com In the case of forest fires, redemption lies in ruin. Such is the argument of Do- minick DellaSala, Chief Sci- entist for the GEOS Institute of Ashland, who gave a free talk at the Hood River County Library on Wednesday. The event, organized by Portland environmental group Bark, brought in about 30 people. The night’s topic was wild- fires and the ecological bene- fits that come in their after- math. The presentation was based on DellaSala’s book, which had just hit Amazon’s digital shelves the night be- fore: The Ecological Impor- tance of Mixed-Severity Fires — Nature’s Phoenix. “Fire is to a dry forest what rain is to a rainforest,” said DellaSala. “And that’s a hard one for a lot of people to un- derstand, because you visual- ize this verdant, green rain forest on one hand and this W ORSHIP D IRECTORY ASSEMBLIES OF GOD RIVER OF LIFE ASSEMBLY Lead Pastor Terry Abbott 979 Tucker Rd.

He argued that heavy fire suppression, often conducted during emergen- cies, is damaging to the wildlife, as well as unneces- sary in remote areas. He said black back wood- peckers and spotted owls are “resilient” in fires, especially if there are patches of green trees at hand to sustain true biodiversity. “The green trees are the bedroom. The burned trees are the kitchen … they get prey in the brush,” said DellaSala. LDS CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS 18th & May, Hood River ALL ARE WELCOME!

SHEPHERD OF THE VALLEY BIBLE CHURCH 8th & Pacific, Hood River Tommy Moon, Pastor Sunday Service 9:30 a.m. svbchr.org DellaSala argued that cer- tain forest thinning opera- tions can be beneficial, but most are harmful. He said homeowners can make a big- ger impact by clearing brush and trees in 200-foot perimeter around their homes, as op- posed to remote wooded areas. He also indicated that tin roofing, as opposed to older wood constructions, is imper- ative in building a “firewise” home. DellaSala is the founder and Chief Scientist of the GEOS Institute in Ashland, an environmental conservation group. He is a political advo- cate, who has spoken at con- gressional hearings in defense of the Endangered Species Act, roadless area conserva- tion, national monument des- ignations, forest protections and climate change.
