It’s a fairly long drive from Western Wash-ington and down the Columbia river gorge

east through eastern oregon and into idaho butthe window of time (mid-summer before full-fledged fire season) was right so away we wenton the nine-hour drive though the both beautifuland scenically diverse country to the final desti-nation of Council, idaho, about two hours or sonorth of Boise.

the cost of gasoline may be high, but it’s donelittle to change the driving habits at least onthose freeways. We drive at 70 mph on most theinterstates, and were passed repeatedly by vehi-cles of all makes and sizes, once again findingthat toyota Prius’ being recognizable mostlyfrom the back as they went blowing by me. thecost of political correctness comes with consider-able doses of smug hypocrisy, as they passed atwell over 80 most of the time, a touching re-minder that political elitism remains a citadelbuild primarily of image rather than substance.

the scenic Columbia river gorge has been en-hanced the past few years by the arrival of windturbines which dot the both sides of the gorge inclusters, certainly a good choice as the area iswindy most of the year. the towers are a fewhundred feet high and massive structures thatsupport both the generators and forces that drivethe three-propeller rotor blades, all erected withgovernment subsides, and subsidized even whenthey are not generating power (we kid you not).Certainly the “green” energy these highly visibletowers produce have generated a good cashstream to the early adopters, recognizing asteady cash cow when they see it.

Perhaps the unintended most exciting part ofthe east-side trip was the stretch between Coun-cil, idaho and Joseph, oregon, which presentedtwo options, going over the highway, or taking aroute that shaved nearly three hours off of driv-ing time. those i talked with noted the route

through Hell’s Canyonsaved a lot of time, andwith the gPS route inhand that looked goodto me so away we went.

the drive was in-deed as scenic as onecould imagine droppingfrom roughly 4,000 feetdown into Hell’sCanyon on Hwy. 71,and crossing the bridge

over the Snake river into oregon onto theoxbow Highway. We had never been to HellsCanyon, and the gPS did ask if i minded beingon gravel roads, not really an issue here, thuswhen pavement gave way to gravel was not asurprise on the six miles or so down the Snakeuntil we took a left turn into the mountains onthe oregon side of the canyon where the gravelvanished but a recently traveled trail about 1 1/2lanes wide appeared, and we began to climb. ifyou’ve used a gPS you soon realize every so oftenthey will lead you down a real goat trail of aroute. But we trudged on, in spite of this and con-tinued climbing, no signs, no traffic, no gravel,just a trail. Faith is a wonderful thing. For thenext several miles we continued the lengthyclimb with sharp switch-backs, not really unusu-al in a forest setting, but a bit unnerving whenyou’re on essentially bare ground and climbing4,000 ft. on the other side of Hell’s Canyon. as welabored away on the route the thought came tomind i should track down whomever was con-nected with tomtom gPS manufacturing thatsent me on this perilous path and beat themsenseless, but at doing an average of 10-15 mphand continuing to climb i was ever vigilant forwhere the trailblazer could be turned around if(or when) we finally encountered the gate orsheer drop to oblivion that would end this route.Fortunately we finally reached the top, the trailwas still there, and ultimately led into the Wal-lowa-Whitman forest and onto Joesph.

Knowing what we’ve learned, i’m less thancertain this was the best of choices, but it madefor an interesting trip. i’m very grateful i didn’thave to back down the trail on the oregon side ofHell’s Canyon.

Staying on track

one of the great challenges we face livingat this point in time is sifting through the

enormous amount of information thrown at useach day, what we also refer to as “backgroundnoise.” information is critical in any job, anycompetitive situation, and life in general: themore you know is to your advantage. in today’sworld the issue is not collecting information asmuch as filtering the information available toyou.

all too frequently the inexperienced hand canbe overwhelmed with the sheer volume of infor-mation overload coming their way, not only fromtV, radio, and newspaper, but emails, web sites,mail, assaulting us at every turn. the real skillscomes not from gathering information but siftingthrough the background noise, making judg-ments on what is worthwhile and what is not rel-evant, and maintaining focus on the task athand.

all too frequently the glitz and glitter ap-proach is alluring, stealing time and taking oneoff course. time and experience teaches you torecognize what is of value and provides rewardsby seeking efficiencies and staying on the task athand.

in the real world, performance is what counts,and that counts not only in business but in thosethings associated with business, that includesthe political world we no longer can afford to ig-nore.

especially with national politics effect on ourindustry we need to be mindful that performancecounts far more than bluster, although the na-tional media, who exist in a fantasyland of glitzand glitter are easily distracted and more drawnto glitz, glitter, and the promise of the illusive“free lunch” than literal performance.

on a measure of sheer performance, the cur-rent administration is an ongoing disaster, whosegoal is to talk about anything But performance,and not remotely interested in talking about theeconomy they’ve been meddling with and muck-ing up now approaching four years. the pendingshift in taxes alone, if allowed to stand, will nothelp the economy either, short of more fully fund-ing an already bloated bureaucracy and furtherstifling private enterprise.

all things considered, this administrationproves time and time again through their ownrecord they have no grasp whatsoever of busi-ness, or of private enterprise, beyond the scope of

Dumb-da-dumb-dumb-duMB!!!Bet you thought you were hear-

ing the lead-in tune to dragnet,didn’t ya? actually it’s the soundmade by the average american voteras they mark their ballot!

in just a few months, voters willbe making tough decisions aboutwho they choose to run local, county,state and federal governments andwhile i hate limiting the choice toonly the top-two candidates in thePrimary election, i think making awell thought out decision, when fiveor ten candidates are listed, is over-whelming for most people. Voting is,more often than not, based on namerecognition, not ability or past per-formance. Consequently we end upwith some real doozies steering theboat!

going back a couple of decades,back to the era of the northern Spot-ted owl at its peak and the overzealous “obstructionists” trying tosave it, we found ourselves on a slip-pery slope greased with nonsenseand exaggeration. it was an era ofmothballing refineries, registeringevery flower and creature that couldpossibly be listed as endangered andsaving every tree and forest lest theybe hacked down by wild-eyed, uncon-trollable loggers frothing at the

mouth and carrying a souped-upchainsaw powered by a Big BlockChevy engine!

Fast forward to the resultant con-sequences we now suffer, havingbeen forced into the corner by elect-ed officials who sided with thepreservationists. elected officialswho lacked knowledge and experi-ence to make some of the decisionsthey put into play; individuals who(with the stroke of a pen) destroyedlives from coast to coast and borderto border. We still haven’t recoveredfrom the laws they enacted. in thepast twenty years not even ten-per-cent of the listed species have recov-ered and it’s not because we are stillharvesting! it’s because nature in-terceded, followed its path of sur-vival of the fittest and it’s naturewho will, in the end, always have thesay-so.

But, that is not to say that wecan’t have solid, intelligent, experi-enced leaders who guide our paths.of course we can! this is whereyou come in. it’s your responsibilityto ferret them out, learn about them,find out what they know and justhow much smoke some are blowingup your skirt ! (Well, my skirt …your stagged off pants!)

i’d like to touch on the depart-ment of natural resource Commis-sioner’s race as a critical election im-

pacting harvest of publicly ownedtimber. the dnr manages 2.1 mil-lion acres of timberland. revenuefrom the managed land provides vi-tal support for state schools and lo-cal government services. Countiesbenefit from revenue earned in theharvest of these lands, in the form offunding for K-12 education and high-er education programs as well. Cur-rent lands Commissioner, Petergoldmark was quoted in the Seattletimes on July 15, 2012 saying, “i’verecovered one of our primary timberaccounts from the brink, reducedstate management fees to send moremoney directly to the beneficiariesand directed $10 million back tocash strapped counties that were indesperate need of support in thesetough economic times.” He went onto say he “…has had to make big de-cisions, such as laying off 10% of hisstaff and smaller ones like eliminat-ing coffee service at board meet-ings…”, i will share the budget in-formation with you in next month’scolumn, but i find it amazing thatcoffee would be such a big issue withgoldmark, when some of his staffersare dragging down pretty damnedhefty salaries; $352,073, $245,521,$228,454, $323,462, $134,816,$245,828 … the list goes on (and on)because these salaries are in thefirst page and a half of a twenty

page report!! the sickening part is,that the highest paid wildfire fighteri found within this same group, re-ceived – are you ready -- $10,548.these are gross annual salaries(some more groSS than others).the heavy hitters are all Fiscal ana-lysts and all earn more than gold-mark as Commissioner at$121,618.08.

My point in this column and inthe September issue will be a com-parison of candidates for various of-fices, the practical experience theycarry to the job and how the incum-bents are managing the positions atpresent.

Frankly, if goldmark laid off 10%of his staff, that’s a good start sincethere are 1,888 full, part and season-al workers under his watch; 188.80of them were laid off (i don’t knowwhat the guy left with 20% is able todo, but maybe he’s the one thatmakes coffee.) i would think if oneof the high-dollar staffers was laidoff, goldmark could furnish all oflewis County with Starbucks andstill have plenty of money left over!i’m just sayin’ . . . my point being,we must be careful when we vote be-cause we can’t just throw the bumout if he’s a cull . . .dumb-da-dumb-dumb……dumbbbbbb!

dozen gypos to move their wood. one of Fay olsen & Sons’ last

jobs was harvesting timber for Wey-erhaeuser in the aftermath of theMount St. Helen’s eruption. Sufficeit to say, the timber company wasanxious to salvage whatever timberthey could from the disaster.

“i had a bid on three sides, andput down a price that was 20 to 25percent above what we needed, sothat there would be some negotiat-ing room,” olsen recalls. “the guyfrom Weyerhaeuser just grabbed thepaperwork and started signing it.”

“the mountain blew on May 18and my brother and i were lowboy-ing equipment in there on about the25th of June. you might as wellhave been on the moon – therewasn’t even a fly alive in there. Wewere really afraid that we were go-ing to have engine failure because ofthe silica from the blast. We actual-

ly put pantyhose over the air clean-er and duct taped it up really well.We also greased our trucks everyWednesday and Saturday because ofthe silica. luckily, we never had anequipment failure.”

“We had one side that did theright-of-way for Weyerhaeuser. Wewere open up the blown-out roadsand coming out with three and fourlog loads – that was some hugestuff. We had our gt3 swing yarderworking in standing dead timberthat the gas bubble killed, but be-cause there was no oxygen the treesdidn’t catch on fire. By the first ofSeptember, there were more than500 loads a day coming down the

green river into the green Moun-tain mill . . . it was a real circus . . .there was a different CB channel forevery spur.”

“When the roads were dry theywere fine, but when it rained, youalmost needed chains, because theroads would turn to hard slick sur-faces.”

“More than anything, it was ahectic operation,” olsen remarks.“But looking back on it, i’m glad iwas there to see what had actuallyoccurred through that period oftime.”

deciding to sell out their opera-tion, the family bought a ranch inthe Joseph-enterprise country

where they raised some 800 head ofcattle and more than a hundredhorses. they kept their hand in thetimber industry, logging some pri-vate patches for local ranchers, andmanaging 11,000 acres of their owntimberland. olsen’s youngest son,rob, still lived at the old homesteadon about 1,100 acres; his oldest son,leif, runs Stone Mountain Safaris –a big game guide company, out oftoad river, British Columbia. olsenhas an interest in the guide service,and plans to join up there at somepoint soon to drive the client shuttle

logger? rancher? trucker? olsensays he’s a Jack-of-all trades and amaster of none. “Back in the day, wewere just a three-man operation andi’d skid logs and jump in a truckand haul them to town.”

When the family logging opera-tion folded, olsen put a log truck (asJim olsen trucking) to work in Wal-lowa County. He hauled for many ofthe local loggers including Keller-man logging, Henderson logging,and Zacharias. When his fatherpassed away, he became more in-volved with the cattle ranch, but hestill kept a truck going, whetherdriving it himself or putting a hired

driver behind the wheel. olsen got his start in 1965,

Jim OlsEn wAs OnE OF THE sTARs of the 1988 Oregon log-ging Conference with his brand new Peterbilt on display. Hebought the truck from dsu Peterbilt, but since it was equippedwith a Peerless log trailer, the two companies flipped a coin tosee who would get the honor of having the truck in their booth.Peerless won. “The truck was the first Peterbilt with an 425 hpelectronic motor available at that time. Everything before thattime, electronic, peaked at around 410 hp,” Olsen says. “Theywarranted the motor for off-highway-use, and i added an 18-speedtransmission and 60-inch Canadian spread to smooth it out. it al-so had the first double lockers and the first Pete Airtrack suspen-sion that was warranted for logging. it was a creampuff.”

shuttle around on.” He drove the truck until thefall of 1971 when bought a brand new 1972 Ken-worth. it was a major change, powered by a 425hp Cat motor and featuring all the goodies of theday, like air conditioning, power steering andtwin exhaust stacks.

“everybody told me i was crazy and that ididn’t need that kind of power. But immediately,i started pulling three loads a day when every-body else was pulling two. Within a couple of

years, everybody else upgraded to the biggerhorsepower,” olsen says.

today, he operates a 2007 Kenworth t800equipped with a Cat 550 hp motor, 18-speedtransmission, 46,000 lb rears with double lockers,Hendrickson PriMaaX air suspension, quickchange and wet kit. “you name it, it can do it,”olsen says.

headed home from ukiah with aload of lumber. two of his fellowtruckers, hauling for trinity riverlumber Company, were followingbehind his bright pink Kenworth.Climbing a hill on Highway 20, hewas doing 35 to 40 miles per hour,when he met a car coming downhill– right into his headlights.

“i was headed westbound, and aJeep Cherokee came around the cor-ner in my lane – not just across theyellow line, but CoMPletely inmy lane,” gallaty recounts. “i hadtime to hit the brake and yank thewheel, and he was pretty muchright in front of me.”

“after he hit me, i went into thebank with no steering or brakes; ibelieve he knocked my front axle

out. From there it was just a chainreaction. the front axle hit the bat-tery box, which is underneath thedriver's door; the battery box hit thefuel tank, which immediately ignit-

gallaty says. “you always think about things

like this happening,” he adds. “Butnine times out of 10, you think it’sgoing to be the other person.”

Whether or not you knew gallatypersonally, there was no mistakinghis truck. the ‘panther pink’ 1974Kenworth with purple bunk equip-ment was an attention grabber trav-eling throughout northern Califor-nia and the Pacific northwest.

“it was an ongoing ‘hot rod’ pro-ject,” gallaty says, adding that a lot

of people lent a hand in making itinto the beautiful truck that it was.Stuart loewen, for instance, kept itpolished and was in the process offabricating some custom pieces.

the extended-hood a-model Ken-worth was equipped was a 3406eCat motor, 18-speed transmission,402 rear ends (3.70 ratio) on eight-bag air ride. gallaty had basicallyrebuilt the truck from the ground up– installing new frame rails, wiring,plastic airlines, cruise control andeven electric windshield wipers. “itwas basically a modern truck withan old can and hood on it,” gallatysays.

gallaty’s father, tom, had previ-

ously owned the truck. Seth starteddriving in 1995 when tom was diag-nosed with cancer.

“My dad painted the truck pinkwhen he bought it in about 1988.His reasoning was that he’d seen ahot rod in a magazine that waspainted hot pink – specifically ‘pan-ther’ pink.”

“My buddies would all razz me alittle bit about driving a pink truckand being a little light in my loafers. . . people either loved it or hatedit,” gallaty says. “i’ve had peoplepull me over to take pictures andi’ve been videotaped driving downthe road. it was definitely fun. onetime we were hauling out of town

and we had our trucks parked out-side a café while we were eating din-ner. a group of college-age girlswere walking around the truck, andthey made sure nobody was watch-ing and then jumped up on the run-ning boards and were snapping eachother’s pictures while we sat therelaughing about it.”

the truck had been a log haulersince the day it was bought new.gallaty used it in that manner untiljust that past winter when undesir-able haul rates forced him to trysomething different. as the truck

was equipped with a quick change,he put it to working hauling lumberfor the trinity river sawmill inWeaverville, California. it’s commonfor them to haul finished lumber onedirection and saw logs back to themill using sliding bunks with fold-up stakes on the flatbed trailer.

gallaty has no plans to raise thePink Panther from the ashes, but assoon as he’s feeling up to it, he plansto go back to work. that is if he canfind a truck that suites his liking.

“i’ll buy a used truck. i have abso-lutely no desire to buy a new onewith all the emissions equipment,”he says. “i’m looking for an early2000 model Kenworth or Peterbiltwith a long hood that is spec’ed outlike mine was.”

the thing it doesn’t need to be ispink. “i’ve stood out for so long thatit would be nice to blend in for awhile. that was a one-of-a-kindtruck and i’d never paint anotherone the same color . . . that wouldonly take away from it.”

gallaty grew up on his family’sdairy farm in orland, California. af-ter his parents divorced, his dadbought the 1974 Kenworth andswitched from hauling hay to haul-ing logs. as a teenager, gallaty hadno desire to follow in those tracks.

“i hated trucks,” he says. “i’dgrown up working on trucks; i likedlooking at them, and i liked all the

shiny stuff, but i wanted nothing todo with a log truck. i wanted to go tocollege and do something completelydifferent.”

gallaty spent the summer afterhigh school graduation setting chok-ers on a logging job. He went toschool in the fall, but discoveredthat it just wasn’t for him, and so hereturned to the woods to earn a liv-ing. Following the advice of his fa-ther who’d always preached that,“no matter what you’re doing, youcan always make a living driving atruck,” gallaty went ahead and gothis Class-a license.

tom passed away in 1998 at 48years old, but his memory lived on.“He bought me my first truck andwe hauled logs together for a yearand a half. looking back now, i’mgrateful for all those Saturdaymornings spent under a truck whenhe taught me how to work on them,”gallaty says. “i learned how to drivehis truck when i was in high school,so when i went to get my license, ididn’t need any training because i’dbeen driving it for years.”

as for lessons about hauling logs,tom’s advice was pretty straightfor-ward: Show up, be on time and doyour job. “i was brought up to work,so it’s never been an issue,” gallatysays.

“i’ve never expected to get rich intrucking or log hauling. i feel likei’m making a living, raising a familyand that’s about all i set out to do.”

“the accident opened my eyes tothe fact that at any given moment,

everything can be taken away.there was a split second when i wastrying to get out of the cab when iwasn’t sure i was going to make it.Having a family at home that’s

something you have to think about.’“i’m going to miss my truck, but

trucks can be replaced.”

lot better,” he says. “i wouldn’t buya truck newer than an ’07 with aCat motor because of the emissionsBS.”

Most of the time, you’ll see olsenhauling logs with his t800. overthe years, it has also pulled 53-footfour-axle chip trailers, off-highwayloads and lowboy trailers.

“i prefer hauling logs above any-thing else,” olsen says. “i’ve done itmost of my life and so it’s not astressful situation. i enjoy the peo-ple in the logging industry probablymore than some of the otherthings.”

He also likes the challenge oftransporting heavy equipment. “itkeeps you on your toes,” he says.

olsen hauled logs around Wal-lowa County between 1982 and themid-2000s, at which point hemoved to laPine to manage timber-land for his friend, larry olson.When the job was finished, he re-turned to Joseph to haul for rnZacharias logging, a company hehad worked for in the past. that’swhere he’s at today, and he’s happy

to be doing exactly what he’s doing.“all my life, i’ve enjoyed getting

up in the morning and going towork whether that was chasingcows or chasing logs,” olsen says.“When you get up in the morningand you don’t want to do that jobany more, it’s time to do somethingdifferent. i’ve been really lucky be-cause to this very day i’ve alwaysbeen happy to go to work.”

“i just turned 65 years old thispast april; my health is in reallygood shape, and as long as i enjoywhat i’m doing that’s what i’m go-ing to do.”

“i like being out in the woodsand to be in control of my day-to-day operation. i’ve basically beenan owner-operator/private contrac-tor for most of my entire life. like ialways tell guys, ‘Be it a good dayor a day, being a logger or a logtrucker, every day is still a picnic inthe woods.”

“Sometimes, going out there andputting on three sets of three-rail-ers, and coming down an 18 percentgrade when it’s 20 below zero, canbe a little challenging . . . but it’snever boring.”

Used trucks getting harder to find

may showed a continued de-cline in the availability of low-mileage used heavy-duty trucks, ac-cording to analysts with greatamerican group llC.

according to the american truckdealers and used truck associa-tions, the average mileage for Maywas 560,000 miles, which is a his-toric high compared to a year ago,when the average mileage was514,000 miles.

dealers also noted a shortage oflower-priced trucks in the $25,000to $40,000 range.

"Fleet managers are keepingtrucks longer and prices for newtrucks selling at $120,000 or morehave slowed in 2012," says toMichael a. Petruski, executive vicepresident and general manager ofgreat american group's Machinery& equipment division. "the aver-age sales price for a used truck inMay was $41,000, down from april,but 2% higher than in May 2011.the average retail price for a sleep-er was $48,800 in april 2012, com-

pared to $44,100 in april 2011."

Housing starts offer glimmer of hope

the nation's beleagueredhousing industry, whose health af-fects some trucking operationsgreatly, got some of its best news inquite a while, but also shows the in-dustry has a long way to go beforeseeing a full recovery.

the u.S. Commerce departmentreported new housing starts in-creased 6.9% in June from May toan annual rates of 760,000, translat-ing into the highest level in nearlyfour years. Single family homestarts also hit their best pace sinceearly 2010, climbing 4.7% to an an-nual rate of 539,000. in the morevolatile, multi family unit sector, ac-tivity decreased 12.8% during thesame time to annual rate of 221,000.

the hike in new single-familyhome construction is the fourthstraight monthly increase. andwhile the barometer of total futurehome construction, new buildingpermits issued, declined 3.7%, it fol-lows a three-and-a-half-year high

hit in May. the number of permitsfor new single-family units hit itsbest level in a little more than twoyears.

total housing starts rose in theWest and northeast regions of thecountry, seeing 37% and 22% in-creases respectively, but fell in theusually stronger South, as well as inthe Midwest.

despite the encouraging news,housing starts and permit levels arestill considered by most experts tobe about half of a level that's consid-

ered "healthy." optimism about housing over the

long-term, however, is increasingwith Federal reserve Chairman BenBernanke earlier this week men-tioning the improving housing mar-ket in an otherwise dismal report toCongress. also a survey of builderconfidence by the national associa-tion of Homebuilders, released ontuesday, shows it hitting a five-year

housing are problems many appli-cants for new homes loans are hav-ing getting bank approval, as wellas an inability to afford down pay-ments that are often much highernow than during the pre-recessionhousing boom.

Used truck prices increase in value

the average retail sellingprice for a used Class 8 truckdropped to $48,643 in May, down

6% month over month but 3% abovethe average price in May 2011. on ayear-to-date basis, prices remained13% above last year's pace, accord-ing to aCt research Co.'s State ofthe industry: u.S. Classes 3-8 usedtrucks.

"even though prices are showingvolatility on a month to month ba-sis, they continue to show solidgrowth for longer-term compar-isons," says Steve tam, vice presi-dent, commercial vehicle sector withaCt. "We expect that pattern to bethe norm though 2012."

the report from aCt provides da-ta on the average used price for thetop-selling Class 8 model for each of

the major truck oeM's - Freightlin-er (daimler); Kenworth and Peter-bilt (Paccar); international (navis-tar); and Volvo and Mack (Volvo).

HERE’s A suPER sECRET sneak preview from the movie, superman: man of steel.” due out June 2013, the movie stars Henry Cav-ill, Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe. You have general Zod, one of su-perman's deadliest rivals from the planet Krypton, to thank for putting an-other used log truck on the market.

verts that channel rain runoff fromtheir roads -- treating rain runoffthe same as industrial sources.

"We are pleased for the 2.5 mil-lion people and thousands of localeconomies that depend on forest

products that the Supreme Courthas decided to hear our appeal inthis critical case," said Mike adams,georgia-Pacific senior vice presidentof sourcing and fiber supply. "to-day's decision is a significant stepforward in protecting these jobs, es-pecially in those states under theninth Circuit's jurisdiction.

"We along with numerous experts

continue to believe the long-stand-ing practice of regulating forestroads through state forestry bestmanagement practices is the mostenvironmentally responsible way tooversee management of the nation'sforest roads. We look forward to ar-guing our case before the SupremeCourt in its next term."

the u.S. Forest Service has esti-mated that, if the ninth Circuit rul-ing were applied nationally, it alonewould have to obtain 400,000 per-mits. oregon counties estimate thedecision will cost them $56 millionto secure permits for their 20,000culverts. Federal and state regula-tors will have to completely redesignforestry programs that have been inplace for a generation. in the statesof the ninth Circuit -- Washington,oregon, California, arizona, neva-da, idaho, Montana, alaska andHawaii -- the timber industry em-ploys a million people. nationally,it supports 2.5 million jobs and $87billion a year in wages.

"the ninth Circuit's decisionchanging 35 years of law was a mis-take in law as well as a mistake forjobs and the environment," saidtimothy Bishop, lead appellate at-torney for the forestry industry."ePa has said for 35 years that themost effective approach to managingrainwater runoff from forest roads isthrough state forestry best manage-ment practices designed for local

conditions. in place of this long-standing and successful regulatorymethod, the ninth Circuit substitut-ed the rigid and costly national per-mitting scheme used to regulate dis-charges from factories, chemicalplants, mines and other industrialfacilities. the circuit's decision iscontrary to the plain meaning of thelaw. and its requirements make noeconomic or environmental sensewhen applied to tens of thousands ofmiles of remote and dispersedroads -- roads that are used for mul-tiple purposes including fire-fight-ing, recreation and intermittent log-ging.

"the ninth Circuit's decision toregulate forest roads runoff thesame as pollution discharge pointscoming neatly out of an industrialpipe makes no sense from an envi-ronmental perspective or from aneconomic perspective. if left intact,the ruling would divert significantresources from implementing stateforestry best management practicesthat are sensitive to local conditionsand that serve the environment andthe industry well to costly permit-ting that doesn't fit the circum-stances and that is likely to result inwasteful litigation. We are glad theSupreme Court has recognized theimportance of stepping in to dealwith the ninth Circuit's serious er-rors."

labor unions, period.the election is about past, and

future performance, and an econo-my that makes progress, in spite ofthe uncertainty this administra-tion demonstrates time and timeagain a desire to maintain. thetalk is about more jobs, the policiesare about stifling business. Wordshave meaning, and this president’swords must be understood not bywhat is said but what has beendone.

the other side of the coin, therepublican side has its own chal-lenge in defining a message ratherthan the media’s heavily slantedpoint of view.

all this is being thrown at uswith a huge amount of backgroundnoise, and clutter, encouragingpeople to be lose focus on the issueat hand: performance, past, pre-

sent and most important... the fu-ture.

regardless of who we elect, wewill survive. the difference willhelp define our children’s future asone of deep indebtedness, run overby larger government, and the con-stant promise of a free lunch as thebait, or one that believes in whathas built our country as the eco-nomic wonder of the world.

Strangely enough i saw a newsclip the other night with the Presi-dent campaigning where he asked(we paraphrase) the crowd, “do wewant to go back to the past or geton with the future?” Frankly, fullemployment, low inflation, honor-ing the Constitution and followingall the laws (rather than ignoringthose portions you disagree with),and removing the 37 obama ap-pointed Czars (never confirmed bycongress in any way), would be astep back to the future we could alllive with.
