The film is a powerful commentary on the Occupy Movement. Double-check showing times with the Kenworthy.
Public is invited. Please contact Pat Fuerst for more information.
Note from Brian Koepke:
“We have a conflicting event on the Terrell Mall on April 18th that will distract from what we are all trying to do, so the ASWSU Environmental Task Force and WSU Environmental Science Club would like to invite you to come on Wednesday, April 17th from 9am-3pm (any time you have available during this period would be great). I am truly sorry about the change of plans, but I hope the organizations that have already confirmed: PESC, WIRT, Palouse Transition, PPF, and the Latah Trail Foundation, can still participate in our community tabling event and, maybe, this makes it possible for other environmentally conscious groups to come. We have other WSU groups that will be out there as well.”
Nez Perce, Idle No More, WIRT, and allied activists are gratefully anticipating hearing and sharing tribal activists’ insights at a gathering at Lapwai City Park in Lapwai, Idaho. The 6 pm meeting on Tuesday, September 3, may be moved indoors to the nearby Pi-Nee-Waus Community Center if it rains. Listen to the following KRFP interview of tribal activist Julian Matthews by citizen journalist Brett Haverstick, describing the last (first) such convergence.

KRFP Report from Last Meeting
Nez Perce Hold Community Meeting in Lapwai City Park on Megaloads (August 21 KRFP Evening Report, between 11:41 and 3:14)
http://radiofreemoscow.org/2013/08/20130821/
At the next, first Wednesday of every month Liquid Forum, activists of WIRT‘s partner grassroots group, Idaho Residents Against Gas Extraction (IRAGE), will describe what is happening with and how citizens are fighting oil and gas drilling and looming fracking in Payette County. Deserving much more public attention, these processes threaten land, water, residents, agriculture, dairies, and sustainability in Idaho. Please join the discussion and enjoy music by Breakdown Boulevard (as experienced at the Community Progressive III), between 5:30 and 7:30 pm MDT on Wednesday, September 4, at the restaurant/bar Liquid, 405 South Eighth Street in Boise, Idaho.

FROM WIRT: In solidarity with Nez Perce megaload blockaders, carpools are departing the WIRT Activist House at 8 am on Monday, September 9, with stops through the reservation, to rally outside and pack the 4 pm Boise federal court hearing seeking a megaload injunction. Advocates for the West will present oral arguments for suspending Idaho Transportation Department permits for Highway 12 megaloads until the Forest Service completes its megaload impact study. After the Nez Perce Tribe and Idaho Rivers United (IRU) versus the U.S. Forest Service case hearing, IRU is hosting a gathering of anti-megaload activists that evening, before we return to north central Idaho. Please contact IRU at 208-343-7481 or info@idahorivers.org if you can attend the party and call 208-301-8039 if you plan to carpool from the Moscow area. The following article and alert describe new developments in this lawsuit.
We have finalized arrangements for a Nez Perce megaload blockaders benefit concert at the Unitarian Church in Moscow and will bring our plans to the Tribal Activist Meeting tonight (Sept. 5). The Friday, September 20, tentative performance schedule sees the Moscow Volunteer Peace Band (Fritz Knorr contact) marching from Friendship Square/(downtown loop?) at 6:30 pm, Jeanne McHale and the Threat Level Purple Singers playing at 7 pm, the Galactic Tofu Farmers (Chris Norden and Leontina Hormel contacts) taking the stage at 8 or 8:30 pm, and Undiscovered Country (Tom Drake contact) performing at 9:30 or 10 pm. For further information, contact Helen Yost at wild.idaho.rising.tide@gmail.com.
The scoping period for the environmental review process is Aug. 16 to Nov. 18. During this period, comments to assist in a decision of what impacts to analyze in an environmental impact statement (EIS) will be gathered. During the scoping period there will be multiple ways for the public to submit comments, including online, by mail, by email and at public scoping meetings.

Toyoko Tsukuda, Emeritus of University of New Mexico, School Medicine, Albuquerque and Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, at Cornell University Medical College, New York, Postdoctoral fellow at Yale University Medical School, New Haven CT and at Pacific Northwest National Lab, Richland WA will be giving a presentation at Washington State University on Thursday, October 3rd at 3:00pm in CUE 202.
Topics of Toyoko Tsukuda’s presentation:
- What do you know about GE organisms?
- What is the impact of GEO in our lives?
- What are the new studies telling us?
This presentation is brought to you by the Washington State University Environmental Science Club.
Sponsored by Friends of the Moscow Library. She recently published a book on this subject. PESC tried to set up a presentation from her back at the beginning of this year but conflicts got in the way. Her talk should be interesting and perhaps controversial because she presents climate change from the perspective of geologic history. Flyer about E. Kirsten Peters talk, “The Whole Story of Climate Change.”
While the recent work of climate scientists has added
greatly to our understanding of the fragility of climate, the
public rarely hears from geologists— even though
geologists have been studying climate change for almost
200 years. The typical American has the impression that
climate would be stable if it weren’t for industrialization and
the production of greenhouse gases from smokestacks and
cars. However, geologic history reveals a ceaselessly
changing climate going back millions of years before the
modern economy.
As The Whole Story of Climate explains, several long, cold
spells have been punctuated by short, warm ones. We are,
in fact, currently living in one of the short, warm periods
that the Earth has seen many times before. There is even a
serious hypothesis worth exploring that if it weren’t for the
greenhouse gases created for millennia by agriculture we
would today be headed back into a time of bitterly cold
temperatures worthy of the mastodons and mammoths
many of us read about as children.
Elsa Kirsten Peters grew up in Pullman. She was a geology major
at Princeton and earned her PhD in geology at Harvard. She has
taught undergraduate geology at WSU and is the author of several
books, as well as the syndicated “Rock Doc” newspaper column.
She has also published murder mysteries under the pen name
Irene Allen.
(from Pat Rathmann) “Our UUCP friend and law professor Anastasia Telesetsky is giving a talk on “Planet Ocean: Why the Law of the Sea Matters in 21st Century America” This Wednesday at 12 noon in the Fiske Room. I plan on going. Maybe we can get her to give an evening presentation for our group.”
