> ‘Junk science’ on Trinity flows
> FROM TOM RODGERS WEAVERVILLE
>
> Last week’s (April 6) front page article entitled “11,000 cfs release to
> Trinity River proposed” caught my eye. Wait a minute, a release of that size
> was proposed for an extremely wet year such as 2006 when I personnally
> measured just over 60 inches of precipitation.
>
> As I read the article, it smacked of propaganda. Going on and on about
> historic flows. Stating winter flows exceeded this amount 60 out of every
> 100 years and spring flows exceeding the same amount 12 out of every 100
> years. Oh really! How the heck did they measure these flows with no dams to
> regulate and measure them.?
>
> I say, “junk science!” Very similar to the Blue Ribbon Task Force the
> “Govenator” appointed last year to the Marine Life Protection Act to overide
> the decisions made by a state-mandated group of fishermen, scientists,
> enviromental groups and business stakeholders. For more on this, hop on your
> computer and pull up “Partnership for Sustainable Oceans.”
>
> Do these bureau scientists and TRRP, “dedicated to preserving fish,” ever
> consider the impact they are creating on the bass fishery in Trinity Lake.
> Those fish are building nests and spawning this time of year and here comes
> the bureau and TRRP dropping the lake level, exposing those spawns, killing
> off untold numbers (thousands) of bass roe (eggs). Not to mention the
> monetary impact on the marinas and commercial campgrounds on Trinity Lake
> due to low lake levels. Real good for tourism. Go figure.
>
> Looks to me like these guys are going to do as they please, regardless of
> the fact that this is only a “normal” water year. “Dam the torpedos, full
> speed ahead.”

"A human being is part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in
time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as
something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of
consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to
our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our
task must be to free ourselves from the prison by widening our circle of
compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its
beauty. The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the
sense in which they have obtained liberation from the self. We shall require
a substantially new manner of thinking if humanity is to survive." ~ Albert
Einstein, 1954
