It lists certain competing “interests” and attempts to weigh them against each other. It calls this a “tension between our values.” It also refers to it as “conflicts between its values and priorities.”

She writes that a new leaked memo revealed the ACLU’s criteria for accepting new legal cases, and they’re not looking to the Constitution. Instead, the ACLU places more importance on defending their liberal “values and interests” over the Bill of Rights.

7:35: Pastor Michael Anthony, author of the book: “A Call for Courage,” talks with Bill this morning.

Author/Pastor Michael Anthony believes that much of the immigration debate is missing the point, unnecessarily polarizing people when we should all agree on the fundamentals . . .

ON IMMIGRATION IN GENERAL

As someone who is married to a permanent resident alien, and the grandson and great-grandson of legal immigrants, I understand the balance between grace and firmness when it comes to secure borders and compassion. While we should have open arms for the ‘huddled masses’ who want to enter, we must not ignore the reality that there are people who seek the destruction of America from the inside-out, through subversive means.”

“Compassion for those seeking asylum in America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, is essential when it comes to immigration law. Yet such compassion must be exercised with eyes wide open, or we risk destroying the very traits that others across the globe have found so attractive for years.”

“A nation without borders is a nation that invites chaos and confusion, not civility and peace. If we ignore our borders, they will go away – and with them the very things that make us a nation of refuge to begin with.”

COMMENT ON THE KLAMATH DAM REMOVAL TO DEQ, DEADLINE TODAY, 5pm. Here’s one of mine:

7/5/18

TO: Chris Stine, Hydroelctric Specialist, 165 E. 7th Street Ste 100, Eugene, OR 97401

Email Klamath401@deq.state.or.us

Chris,

I implore you to follow the law in addition to common sense, and DENY the KRRC it’s 401 DEQ water quality permit that would facilitate the destruction of the J.C. Boyle Dam.

I refer to ORS 468B.005’s definition of pollution.

(5) “Pollution” or “water pollution” means such alteration of the physical, chemical or biological properties of any waters of the state, including change in temperature, taste, color, turbidity, silt or odor of the waters, or such discharge of any liquid, gaseous, solid, radioactive or other substance into any waters of the state, which will or tends to, either by itself or in connection with any other substance, create a public nuisance or which will or tends to render such waters harmful, detrimental or injurious to public health, safety or welfare, or to domestic, commercial, industrial, agricultural, recreational or other legitimate beneficial uses or to livestock, wildlife, fish or other aquatic life or the habitat thereof.

The millions of tons of sediment, waste, and agricultural runoff trapped behind this dam certainly qualifies as pollution under the ORS. Were a regular citizen to approach you for a discharge permit to flow millions of tons of sediment and pollution down a wild and scenic river, your laughter could be heard (imo) from Eugene to where I live in Medford. And you would be correct to laugh. Your duty is clearly defined. (back to the ORS, again)

(2) The water pollution control laws of this state shall be liberally construed for the accomplishment of the purposes set forth in ORS 468B.015. [Formerly 449.070 and then 468.705]

468B.015 Policy. Whereas pollution of the waters of the state constitutes a menace to public health and welfare, creates public nuisances, is harmful to wildlife, fish and aquatic life and impairs domestic, agricultural, industrial, recreational and other legitimate beneficial uses of water, and whereas the problem of water pollution in this state is closely related to the problem of water pollution in adjoining states, it is hereby declared to be the public policy of the state:

(1) To conserve the waters of the state through innovative approaches, including but not limited to the appropriate reuse of water and wastes;

(2) To protect, maintain and improve the quality of the waters of the state for public water supplies, for the propagation of wildlife, fish and aquatic life and for domestic, agricultural, industrial, municipal, recreational and other legitimate beneficial uses;

(3) To provide that no waste be discharged into any waters of this state without first receiving the necessary treatment or other corrective action to protect the legitimate beneficial uses of such waters;

(4) To provide for the prevention, abatement and control of new or existing water pollution; and

(5) To cooperate with other agencies of the state, agencies of other states and the federal government in carrying out these objectives. [Formerly 449.077 and then 468.710; 2009 c.248 §1]

Everything about this 401 permit plan violates these standards, and destroys the beneficial use of these waters to the state/citizens of Oregon. No treatment will be performed by the KRRC, they’d just blow up the dam, and flood the river over a number of years with toxic sediment, while hoping for the best. Originally, the plan offered was to dredge the sediments, but then it was “too expensive”. Too bad, I say…follow the law. You wouldn’t grant such an exception for a normal citizen wanting to do this…Why should you grant it to Pacificorp/KRRC?

Additionally, where is the contingency/backup plan if KRRC is unable to perform financially or otherwise? It only has the assets transferred from Pacificorp, and has no assets of its own, or income stream. Where is the evidence that KRRC has the expertise/track record to safely do this? There is none, nor has any been demanded. Why have you not asked for this?

One more time to the ORS:

468B.020 Prevention of pollution. (1) Pollution of any of the waters of the state is declared to be not a reasonable or natural use of such waters and to be contrary to the public policy of the State of Oregon, as set forth in ORS 468B.015.

(2) In order to carry out the public policy set forth in ORS 468B.015, the Department of Environmental Quality shall take such action as is necessary for the prevention of new pollution and the abatement of existing pollution by:

(a) Fostering and encouraging the cooperation of the people, industry, cities and counties, in order to prevent, control and reduce pollution of the waters of the state; and

(b) Requiring the use of all available and reasonable methods necessary to achieve the purposes of ORS 468B.015 and to conform to the standards of water quality and purity established under ORS 468B.048. [Formerly 449.095 and then 468.715]

There is no way you can approve this permit, while following the water pollution laws and policies of the state of Oregon, and not only would approving the permit damage the environment and destroy the beneficial use of these waters, imo it makes the state liable for damages through not following these laws. Do your duty, follow the law and common sense, and deny this water permit. Thank you.

Sincerely.

Bill Meyer

Camp White

By

Dennis Powers

Medford promoted its “Agate Desert”—a flat area seven miles east—in 1941 as the best place for military training with its topography perfect for needed buildings and parade grounds. In May, the War Department decided that the area would be one of nine new training camps throughout the U.S. A large architects’ office was established in the Medford Armory and staffed to design the camp, including its roads, power, and utilities.

The camp became a priority when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, and war declared against Japan and Germany. Five firms combined to submit the low bid of $27.5 million dollars, construction soon began, and work went around the clock under huge lights. Traffic over Crater Lake Highway became so heavy that it was made one-way out of Medford with Table Rock Road heading back in the other direction. More than 10,000 workers were involved and many lived in tent cities.

Completed in six months, the camp was officially dedicated on August 15, 1942, as “Camp George A. White” after the adjutant general of the Oregon National Guard who had recently died. It encompassed 77 square miles, trained 40,000 troops at a time, its building core was a one-mile rectangle, had over 1300 buildings, and was the second largest city in Oregon. Camp White trained the 96th Division, as well as engineering, medical, and artillery units between 1942 and 1945.

Just outside of Camp White was the compound that held German POWs and over 1,600 German prisoners were detained there. The facilities included barracks, mess hall, storage, and offices with the area guarded 24/7. Owing to the war effort, the Rogue Valley was experiencing a shortage of farm laborers; and the U.S. Government decided that the POWs at Camp White would work in the orchards and be paid 88 cents with a bottle of beer each day—a far cry from what U.S. POWs were suffering through.

Even though repatriated after World War II, some of the POWs returned to the U.S. and even Medford to live. In fact, one POW was so happy with his life in the valley, even as a prisoner of war, that he returned 21 years after being sent back to his native country and for years ran a Medford upholstery shop.

After the war, most of Camp White’s buildings were torn down and salvaged for their materials. Structures were also moved intact to the University of Oregon; the bricked camp hospital became the Veteran’s Administration Domiciliary, now operated by the V.A. as the Southern Oregon Rehabilitation Center and known locally as the “Dom.” The camp’s core later became the basis for the White City Industrial Park; and with the unincorporated community that bordered the industrial area, the former camp interior in 1960 was renamed White City.

“Visiting Past & Present.”

The Table Rocks

By

Dennis Powers

Rising 800 feet above the north bank of the Rogue River, the Upper and Lower Table Rocks overlook the Rogue Valley with exquisite views. The “upper” and “lower” refer to their positions relative to each other alongside the river; Lower Table Rock is located downstream, or lower on the river, from Upper Table Rock.

Approximately 50 to 35 million years ago, the Rogue River and other rivers deposited sandstone and other materials in the area of the Table Rocks. The formation of the Rogue Valley took place some 20 to 10 million years ago with the uplifting of the nearby Klamath Mountains. A large volcano built almost entirely of fluid lava flows (called a “shield volcano”) erupted seven million years ago, and a huge lava flow spread out over the entire valley, from the Prospect area to Sam’s Valley.

This lava mass caused the land mass to rise to the height of the Table Rocks. Over the last seven million years, the ancient Rogue River meandered through the valley, eroding and carving away most of the lava rock. Over the countless millenniums, the Rogue washed away 90% of the lava-filled ground to the Pacific Ocean, leaving behind a few large rock masses and the two horseshoe-shaped buttes known as the Table Rocks. It is believed that the shape of these steppes is owing to the swift river curving around their now outlines.

The Table Rocks also have historical significance. With the influx of miners and settlers into the Rogue Valley, the local Takelma Indians launched an attack in 1853 to reclaim their lands. When the U.S. Army retaliated, the Takelmas retreated to different places, including the natural fortress of Upper Table Rock. The Army sent a peace negotiator, Joe Lane. The Native tribes and U.S. Government negotiated a peace treaty in 1853 that brought about a temporary end to the bloody conflict. The peace treaty was entered into with the Shasta, Takelma, and Dakubetede Indians, collectively named the Rogue River Indians.

Upon Congress ratifying the Treaty of Table Rock, the provisions established a temporary reservation on the Rogue River’s north side that included the two Table Rocks, Sams Valley, and the Sardine and Evans Creek watersheds. It also provided for goods and services for the Indians to farm and ranch, as well as the building of nearby Fort Lane to protect both sides from one another.

A small fort was quickly erected on a hill that overlooks what’s now Gold Ray Road and which pointed towards the Table Rock Reservation. Enlisted men and officer barracks, a guardhouse, hospital, camp store, kitchens, and a blacksmith shop were contained within those walls.

Skirmishes in the uneasy peace continued between the two factions, culminating in October 1855, when a mob killed 28 Indians near the Table Rock Reservation. The Natives responded and murdered some 27 settlers and miners in kind. This ended the peace and brought about the “Rogue River War, 1855-‘56” between the Native groups and white settlers. The Takelma, however (and unlike the other tribes on the reserve), stayed on the reservation and at peace; their numbers sought refuge and protection at Fort Lane. When the conflict ended, they were moved in 1856 to a reservation west of Salem. By the end of the year, Fort Lane was abandoned with scant evidence now left as to its ever having existed.

During the decades following this and to the present, residents and tourists alike enjoy hiking the trails, picnicking, and seeing the marvelous sights. The hike to Upper Table Rock is an easy 2.8-mile trip, gaining 720 feet; the hike up Lower Table Rock is a moderate 5.4-mile trip, gaining 780 feet.

The Bureau of Land Management and Nature Conservancy of Oregon manage the Table Rocks, both with these public-access trails. “Memorandums of Understanding” were signed in 2011 and 2012 with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians that were to “allow the coordination of resources to protect the Table Rocks” for the future. A cooperative management plan for the area was completed in 2013.

FOOLISH GOV. TED WANTS THE DAMS BLOWN

Foolish former Gov Ted Kulongoski comments in the Klamath Herald and News in favor of Klamath River “Renewal”. I have tried several times to log in and comment on the paper’s site to no avail. I suspect they’re restricting opposition. Will keep trying, perhaps you could too? Here’s my comment:

“With all due respect, dam removal fans are total fools. The Klamath Basin Compact guarantees the beneficial use of this water. Even were Pacificorp to not relicense the dams for hydroelectric use, the beneficial uses for the water remain, as does the legal document. Hundreds of dips were made into the Irongate just this week to battle the Klamathon blaze. The Cascade Siskiyou National Monument would likely have burned without this beneficial use.

In addition, this policy consensus fraud of a process is an offense to true representative government. That policy consensus fraud, btw, facilitated by Governor Kitzhaber first, Gov. Kulongoski second, and continued through Gov. Kate Brown.

Meanwhile the Oregon DEQ is taking public comments for the 401 water permit required to blow J.C. Doyle. Only the most deluded person (or bought off Gang Green crony) would permit flooding a river with millions of tons of sediment and runoff, and not term it pollution. This has been a true fraud and crime perpetrated through an agenda-based process. Resist it at all cost.”
