Hi Rob!

Here's a new one.  Climbing down the steps at Coquille Point will reveal some "No Fires" signs.  They look new and newly posted.  A call to the Ranger at Bullards informed me that that part of the beach is administered by
the USFWS and that I should call them.

Any idea when control of a part of Oregon's PUBLIC, Taxpayer owned and funded beach(State Park) was given over for control to the Feds?

Publically owned beaches in Oregon has been the law for many decades.  I recall in the early 1960's a resort up in the Lincoln City area tried to fence off the beach for their guests use.  The fence came down rather quickly as I recall.  Not quite as dramatic as blowing up a beached whale but it got the point across.

Have you or any of your readers heard of this before?  My guess is some kind of arrangement between the City, USFWS and State Parks.  Not sure if the statutes allow it but I will find out.

Mitch

Dear Interested Party,
The Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board (OWEB) is seeking public comment on a proposed repeal of outdated rules adopted in response to a now expired Salmon Season State of Emergency.

 OWEB's Division 7 administrative rules were established in response to Governor Kulongoski's Executive Orders issued between 2006 and 2008 declaring Salmon Season States of Emergency. As the rules are currently written, OWEB can only fund projects that address the 2008 Salmon Season State of Emergency
described by Executive Order 08-10. This order expired in May 2009, thus rendering the Division 7 rules obsolete.

The OWEB Board subsequently adopted a new division of administrative rules (Division 4) that allow for development, public discussion, and approval of multiple special grant types, including future Salmon Season State of Emergency grants should the Board identify the need for such grants. The Division 4 rules
render the Division 7 rules redundant and unnecessary now and into the future.

 For the aforementioned reasons, OWEB is proposing to repeal the Division 7 rules.

COMMENT PERIOD: The public comment period for the proposed rules begins August 1, 2013 and will close at 5:00 p.m. on August 22, 2013.

The rules proposed for repeal will be available by Thursday, August 1, 2013 on OWEB's website at http://www.oregon.gov/OWEB/pages/admin_rules_statutes.aspx.

 To comment on the proposed rules, please send comments by email to renee.davis-born@state.or.us, with the phrase "Comments on Salmon Season State of Emergency Rules Repeal" in the subject line, or send written comments to Renee Davis-Born at OWEB, 775 Summer Street NE, Suite 360, Salem, Oregon 97301-1290.

Under the guise of “national security,” establishment bureaucrats are feverishly  looking for new ways to trace, track, and register all Americans’ online activity.

What you read.  What you buy.  What videos you watch.  And what you write about THEM.

The astonishing, Constitution-shredding revelations out of D.C. over the past few weeks should chill you to the
bone.

The federal government is clearly out of control, as it tracks your phone calls, seizes your email communications, and monitors everything you post online.

And soon, the U.S. House may be voting on the misnamed “Marketplace Fairness Act.”

Do not be fooled.  This bill is not about fairness.

And it isn’t just about taxes, either.

It's about your privacy.  And it's about killing small businesses.

When the bill was steamrolling through the Senate, it seemed unstoppable.  But your efforts have dramatically impeded progress on this bill.
 
In fact, there is a very real chance we can stop it in the House.

Recently, Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie penned a letter to House leadership opposing the Internet sales tax and asking them not to bring the bill to the floor for a vote.

Campaign for Liberty worked to get as many Representatives as possible to go on record against this tax by signing the Massie letter. 

Rep. Peter DeFazio signed the letter, and he is now under intense pressure from those who want to milk the taxpayer for every last cent they can get. 

I hope you’ll call Rep. Peter DeFazio at (202) 225-6416 right away -- thank him for publicly opposing the bill, and politely ask him to continue to stand firm in opposition to the Marketplace Fairness Act.

Together, you and I CAN defeat the Internet sales tax, but you must take action now!

In Liberty,
 Deb Wells
Senior Director of State Operations
Campaign for Liberty

P.S. Campaign for Liberty worked to get as many Representatives as possible to go on record against the misnamed “Marketplace Fairness Act” by signing Representative Thomas Massie’s letter to the U.S. House

Hey Folks,

Over the past couple of decades, I have been at war with Urban Renewal and Tax Increment Financing, because these tax practices are a form of economic fascism.  One of the reasons the US Government stopped this practice on the federal level was because Urban Renewal caused "urban sprawl" or what is better known as "white flight"---all while trapping minorities and the poor in the projects that have become the inner cities of today.  There are several books written on the subject, but I recommend reading the works of the AntiPlanner.  Randal O'Toole from the CATO Institute is the foremost expert on central planning and URA's and he has written and researched articles on Cabela's and their manipulation of the taxing system in Oregon.  However,  I do not fault Cabela’s; in fact, they are just following a trend of operating in a market of compensation.  It is  the fault of government and the politicians who have purposely structured the tax code to benefit the wealthy....Rob T.   
   

HUGE  success story in our battle against Agenda 21.  What citizens can do  when they stick together.  This effort would have put 17.8 million acres of  land between Arkansas and Missouri in the hands of  the government.  PLEASE BE SURE TO SHARE!!!

 “Seeking to quell a public backlash, the  U.S.  Department of the  Interior dropped the White River watershed National
Blueway designation] on Wednesday from a new federal program  that recognizes 
conservation and recreation efforts along waterways.”     Click  here for the rest of the ABC News article “Feds Rescind White River’s  Blueway Designation”. 
 
U.S. Senator Roy Blunt  (R-Mo.) issued this response:
 “The Obama Administration’s  attempt to establish a new federal designation without the approval of Congress  or public input is absolutely unacceptable.  The stakeholders and community  members deserve more transparency from their government.  I’m pleased the  Obama Administration has withdrawn this designation.”

U.S. Senator  John Boozman (R-Ark.) issued this response: 
“We all agree that we  should work to protect our waterways, but a new federal Blueway program is not  necessary to improve the cooperation of federal and state agencies on the  management of the White River.  This  designation occurred without a formal process – no public comment, lack of  transparency from the federal government, and without the broad support of  Arkansans.  We are happy to see that Secretary Jewell reviewed the program  and heard the concerns of our citizens."

STOP LAND GRAB UPDATE: Platinum Record Selling Spirit of the West's Linda  McRae and Southern Oregon's Circle of Stone Benefit Concert August 2nd!
 
     We're proud to announce singer/song writer Linda McRae will perform a benefit concert for Stop Land Grab in just three weeks!  Music fans,  listen-up.  We're limiting ticket sales to only 120 tickets.  It's no exaggeration to say this is an incredibly rare opportunity.  No one will be more than a few yards from the stage and the setting couldn't be  more magical:  the beautiful, tree-shaded McKee Bridge Park, next to one of the nicest sections of
the majestic Applegate River.

     Linda McRae needs little introduction.  But for those unfamiliar  with her music, her latest album can be heard at her website, LindaMcRae.com.

     Stop Land Grab considers Circle of Stone a hidden gem of the  Southern Oregon music scene.  Their rich talent runs deep and beyond simple genre classification.  Their influences include classic rock,  Celtic music, bluegrass, folk, and Cajun rhythms.  They were a big hit  when they played for us in 2011 and we're confident they'll put on a  memorable show.   Check out their Facebook page by clicking here.  

     We will offer dinner service for a modest fee.  Tickets for the show and advance dinner orders can be purchased by visiting the StopLandGrab.org website.   Dinner service starts at 5:30pm, and Circle of Stone will  open at about 6pm.   Concert tickets are $25, and children 12 and under  are welcome at no charge so long as they are accompanied by an adult.   Please visit our website for more information about how to order tickets and to review dinner service options.   Don't delay.  We expect to  sell-out quickly given the rare intimacy of the venue.

     This is a "family friendly" event.  No alcohol will be served.  But  Preston and the wonderful staff at the McKee Bridge Restaurant run a  full bar a few hundred feet from our venue.  We're pleased our event  will also benefit one of the Applegate Valley's best restaurants.   Consider coming early for lunch at the McKee Bridge Restaurant and then  head on over to our "silent auction," which is free and open to the  public and starts at 2pm.   We'll have great merchandise and gift  certificates from local businesses.  Kids will love it.  One of the  Applegate's best swimming holes is part of the park;  there are horse  shoe backstops and you're welcome to bring games to entertain kids  during the free daytime activities. 

     At 3pm, Stop Land Grab will also hold a round table update on the  issue of the Siskiyou Crest National Monument proposal, along with many  of the other current public lands policy debates.

Merchants & Local Residents:  Help with Silent Auction Donations Appreciated!

If you'd like to gain exposure for your local business or just  happen to have merchandise suitable for donation, please contact us.    We'd appreciate donations and we'll do our best to promote your  generosity.

 Please Spread the Word!

     Telephone your friends and tell them to do the same, in turn.  We're a grassroots organization dedicated to our local community and we'd be  nothing without the energy and help you have all shared.  We're humbled  and
grateful for the support and in the weeks and months ahead, we're  dedicated to expanding our reach and impact.  Public perception of the  monument proposal views it as a back burner issue for the time being.   But nothing could be further from the truth, particularly when set in  the context of other proposals for the region. 

     If you use Facebook, spread the word about the event.  We have a  modest Facebook page with the event announcement published, making it  easy for you to share our page with your Facebook friends.  Click here to pull-up our Facebook page.

     Thank you!  We hope to see you August 2nd.
