Uncommon Sense By The Dumbplumber, December 30, 2008

Now for a little “Hopin’ and Changin”. Seems that all of America is “twitterpated” over exactly how “The Messiah” is going to fulfill even a few of his campaign promises, before the freakin’ roof caves in...

Shingletown -- No One Knows How Much Water We Have

Can Shingletown Afford To Lose 288,000 Gallons a Day?

Shingletown -- Based on an educated guess, one Shingletown resident who owns property in the Hidden Meadows/Crook Springs area of Shingletown is prepared to haul 288,000 gallons of water down the hill each day. This resident is asking the Shasta County Planning Commission to approve his request for a permit to extract this vast amount of water and use 48 tanker trucks (96 round trips) a day to deliver it for sale elsewhere as bottled water. But resistance is brewing...

Gulp! There goes another 105.1 Million Gallons of Water

Resistance is brewing to the taking of 288,000 gallons of water day from beneath the Shingletown Ridge for sale to bottled water drinkers. But no one knows how much water there is...or hat impact this extraction will mean to nearby residents, downhill users, streams, fish or wildlife -- now or in the future.

USFWS “Walking Wetlands” Is Win-Win-Win (Updated 10-07-08)

By Dave Mauser, Wildlife Biologist, USFWS, Tulelake 

Tulelake -- Dave Mauser of the U.S. & Wildlife Service here has provided MyOutdoorBuddy with the complete story about how the USFWS is promoting productive wetlands and sustainable agriculture in the Upper Klamath Basin of California and Oregon. It’s all about the “Walking Wetlands” program on the Klamath Basin Refuges. Text and photos tell a very convincing story of how the birds, the bugs and farmers can help to make our farm fields more productive without the use of so much fertilizer. The story also proves that in the end, farming on the refuges benefits waterfowl greatly, too. A CD containing this story just arrived from Tulelake, so MyOutdoorBuddy is posting it at once as a WORD document complete with terrific photos and maps of the various projects being carried forward by the Service and its partners on the refuge lease lands and now, on privately owned parcels near the refuges such as those owned by Rob Crawford, a local farmer.
 
 Oregon Wild won’t like this story but that’s too bad! It’s the truth! Hunters, anglers, wildlife buffs and anyone interested in real conservation and sustainable agriculture, including organically grown food, are going to love it. As Anders Tomlinson, creator of Tule-Lake.com (who is also preparing a film dedicated to this subject) put it in a recent email: “I see this as a tribute to productive soil. How often to we hear about fertile soil endangerment?”
