Dear Friends of Black Rock. Appreciate your including piece on Jim Kudrna's proposal with Return to Freedom and Neda de Mayo. The wild horses have so much to contribute that is of a positive nature, but is largely overlooked on account of an intentional disinformation campaign against them. Attached please find my two inputs at the recent Denver meeting on the wild horses for your perusal. I remain willing to give a slide program about the wild horses with pictures going back many years.

Best wishes, Craig

Hello Folks,

Mail TrashDid you know San Francisco doesn't ship their waste out of state? In fact, they asked Recology if they gave them their waste disposal agreement, would that mean their waste would go to Jungo Road. Recology told them, oh no...Jungo Road was only 'speculative' (see quote at: http://bit.ly/bjsmNc ).

An interesting website by Christopher Brooks, the summation of his hypothesis is below. There are many good photos and links on the page, including to this website.

Abstract

Vonnegut We Could Have Saved the Earth

Well, they weren't (too damned cheap). And they didn't cow tow to threats of law suits by the big legal suits Recology rolled in.

Thank you.

The HCC voted to NOT grant Jungo Land Investments (Recology) a five-year extension on their Conditional Use Permit.

Game over. Hopefully.

While I don't know if Recology will file an appeal or anything else. Here's where we are today.

Well, here we go. Tomorrow, the Humboldt County Commissioners have an opportunity to re-visit the 5-year extension of the conditional use permit granted Jungo Land Investments (Recology) to build the Jungo Road Landfill. Bob Dolan and Massey Mayo are on the agenda to appeal the extension granted by the Regional Planning Commission on February 11, 2010. Information on the meeting is at this link: http://bit.ly/aMJyzV (there are documents related to the hearing under the 1:30 agenda item).

Ironic Antipathy: The Relationship Between Gerlach Locals and the BLM

by Jason S. Walters

Reading the "Chico News and Review" today, I came across an article by Alastair Bland titled "Trash Evolution Local Disposal Company Focuses on Reusing and Recycling". Basically, the article, at this link, http://bit.ly/aHqj3K covers how Recology Butte Colusa Counties will focus on diverting the Butte Counties waste stream to renewable energy production. Several great innovative recycling approaches and the economic potential of this direction are covered in the article.

Sage GrouseI just had to laugh when I read the article on the negative impact the renewable energy industry is having on the Sage Grouse in Nevada in Las Vegas Sun http://bit.ly/dsdmhk this morning. Mind you, I'm not laughing at the impact to the Sage Grouse, I'm chuckling over the irony of the Sage Grouse issue and the Jungo Road Landfill project (did I mention I'd be blogging about that project?).
