Legendary skiing filmmaker
Warren Miller dies at age 93
By PHUONG LE
Associated Press
SEATTLE — Warren
Miller, the legendary
outdoor filmmaker who
for decades made homages
to downhill skiing that
he narrated with his own
humorous style, has died.
He was 93.
His family said in a
statement that Miller
died of natural causes
Wednesday evening at his
home on Orcas Island in
Washington state.
A World War II veteran,
ski racer, surfer and sailor,
Miller produced more
than 500 action films
about a variety of outdoor
activities including surfing
and sailing. But he was
best known for his thrill-
seeking films featuring
daredevil skiers barreling
down breathtakingly steep
slopes.
His annual ski movies
served as informal kickoffs
to ski season and became
a rite of passage for the
legions of ski bums and
snowboarders who flocked
to see them at movie
theaters and played them
on video while relaxing
with drinks after tough ski
days.
“Warren’s
legacy
of adventure, freedom
and humor carries on in
the countless lives he
touched,” his wife of 30
years, Laurie Miller, said
in a statement Thursday.
“Warren loved nothing
more than sharing his life’s
adventures and hearing
literally every day from
friends old and new about
how his stories inspired
others to enrich and enjoy
their own lives.”
Miller was born in the
Hollywood area of Los
Angeles, California, in
1924. He grew up during
the Depression and said
his family struggled to put
food on the table.
According to a biog-
raphy on his website,
Miller bought his first
camera for 39 cents when
he was 12 years old. He
used earnings from his
newspaper route to buy
his first skis and bamboo
ski poles when he was
15 and took his first run
at Mount Waterman near
Los Angeles with his Boy
Scout troop.
“I really believe in my
heart that that first turn
you make on a pair of skis
is your first taste of total
freedom, the first time in
your life that you could go
anywhere that your adren-
aline would let you go,” he
told The Seattle Times in a
2010 interview.
Miller played varsity
basketball at the Univer-
sity of Southern California
and served in the Navy.
In 1946, he bought a
camera for $77 and set off
with his friend Ward Baker
in a 1936 Buick Phaeton
towing a teardrop trailer to
ski destinations across the
U.S., including Yosemite,
Jackson
Hole
and
Mammoth Mountain. They
camped in parking lots of
ski resorts, perfecting the
ski bum life.
He once recalled loving
the smell of rabbit frying
in the silent evening while
parked in Sun Valley’s
parking lot.
Miller launched his film
career in 1950 with his
first skiing film, “Deep and
Light.”
He headed Warren
Miller Entertainment until
the late 1980s when he
sold it to his son, Kurt
Miller. Time Inc. bought
it in 2000 and later sold it.
Warren Miller Entertain-
ment It is now owned by
Active Interest Media.
Miller was inducted
into the U.S. Ski Hall of
Fame in 1978.
Aside from his wife,
Miller is survived by sons
Scott and Kurt, daughter
Chris, a stepson, Colin
Kaufmann, and five grand-
children.

EPA ends clean air policy opposed by fossil fuel interests
WASHINGTON
(AP)
— The Trump administra-
tion announced Thursday
it is doing away with a
decades-old air emissions
policy opposed by fossil
fuel companies, a move that
environmental groups say
will result in more pollution.
The
Environmental
Protection Agency said it was
withdrawing the “once-in
always-in” policy under the
Clean Air Act, which dictated
how major sources of
hazardous air pollutants are
regulated. Under the EPA’s
new interpretation, such
“major sources” as coal-fired
power plants can be reclassi-
fied as “area sources” when
their emissions fall below
mandated limits, subjecting
them to differing standards.
Though formal notice of
the reversal has not yet been
filed, EPA said the policy
it has followed since 1995
relied on an incorrect inter-
pretation of the landmark
anti-pollution law.
“This guidance is based
on a plain language reading
of the statute that is in line
with EPA’s guidance for
other provisions of the Clean
Air Act,” said Bill Wehrum,
assistant administrator of
EPA’s Office of Air and
Radiation. “It will reduce
regulatory burden for indus-
tries and the states, while
continuing to ensure strin-
gent and effective controls
on hazardous air pollutants.”
Prior to his confirmation
by the GOP-dominated
Senate
in
November,
Wehrum worked as a lawyer
representing fossil fuel and
chemical companies. The
American Petroleum Insti-
tute was among the industry

groups that had called for
the longstanding policy to be
scraped.
The Clean Air Act defines
a “major source” as a one
that has the potential to emit
10 tons or more per year of
any hazardous air pollutant,
or 25 tons per year of any
combination of hazardous
air pollutants. For more than
20 years, EPA’s “once-in
always-in” required major
sources to remain subject
to stricter control standards,
even if they took steps to
reduce their pollution below
the threshold.
Republicans
quickly
cheered the move by EPA
Administrator Scott Pruitt,
especially those from states
that produce oil, gas and coal.
“The EPA’s decision
today is consistent with
President Trump’s agenda

to keep America’s air clean
and our economy growing,”
said Senate Environment
Committee Chairman John
Barrasso of Wyoming.
“Withdrawal of this policy
means manufacturers, oil
and gas operations, and other
types of industrial facilities
will have greater incentive to
reduce emissions.”
Environmentalists
predicted the change would
drastically weaken limits on
toxic heavy metals emitted
from power-plant smoke-
stacks.
“This is among the most
dangerous actions that the
Trump EPA has taken yet
against public health,” said
John Walke, the director
for clean air issues at the
Natural Resources Defense
Council. “Rolling back
longstanding protections to
allow the greatest increase
in hazardous air pollutants
in our nation’s history is
unconscionable.

John Coequyt, who leads
climate policy initiatives
for the Sierra Club, said the
move will lead directly to
dirtier air and more deaths.
“Trump
and
Pruitt
are essentially creating a
massive loophole that will
result in huge amounts of
toxic mercury, arsenic, and
lead being poured into the
air we breathe, meaning this
change is a threat to anyone
who breathes and a benefit
only to dangerous corporate
polluters,” Coequyt said.
