KHSA premise unfounded
by
Dr. Richard Gierak,
Siskiyou Daily News, Letter to the Editor April
27, 2011, "Historically,
until the dams and reservoirs were built there
was no fall run of salmon as the river would
turn into marshes and swamps in a dry year. The
entire premise of removing hydroelectric dams on
the Klamath River has no scientific validity and
the KHSA was based on faulty assumptions which
have been scientifically dismissed."

Bible verses for
Sunday April 17, 2011, from Frank Tallerico, "as we
continue to study Hebrews 11 which focuses on Faith.
The way the world, and especially the USA is going
today, our Faith is our Rock and keeps us going in a
world that has gone amuck! Hebrews:8-12. NKJ:
Faithful
Abraham
8.
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to
the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And
he went out, not knowing where he was going.
9.
By faith he dwelt in the land of promise as in a
foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob,
the heirs with him of the same promise;
10.
for he waited for the city which has foundations, whose
builder and maker is God.
11.
By faith, Sarah herself also received strength to
conceive seed, and she bore child when she was past the
age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.
12.
Therefore, from one man and him as good as dead, were
born as as the stars of the sky in
multitude----innumerable as the sand which is by the
seashore.
Come to our protest April 21st! Water and Power Subcommittee Examines Federal Regulations that Cost Jobs and Raise Energy Prices, Natural resource Committee Chair Doc Hastings, posted to KBC 4/16/11. "“For many years, the central objective of our water and power policy was to create abundance – to make the desert bloom as the Bureau of Reclamation’s founders put it. But this original mission seems to have been lost to a radical and retrograde ideology that seeks to create, maintain and ration government-induced shortages,” said Subcommittee Chairman Tom McClintock (CA-04). “We need to return to abundance as the central objective of our water and power policy – by providing abundant water, clean and cheap hydroelectricity, new recreational centers, desperately needed flood protection, burgeoning fisheries and re-invigorated farms.” Wildlands Initiative" defunded in final CR, The Westerner, posted to KBC 4/16/11. “The ‘Wild Lands’ proposal issued by Secretary Salazar last December was another attempt by the Obama Administration to circumvent congressional authority in the Administration’s ‘War on Western Jobs.’ " Oregon DEQ accepts water petitions (from Klamath), H&N, posted to KBC 4/16/11

For Sunday April 3 from Frank Tallerico:
From the NKJ Hebrews
10:22-25
22. "let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and
our bodies washed
with pure water.
23.
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without
wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
24.
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love
and good works,
25.
not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as
is the manner of some, but exhorting one another,
and so much the
more as you see the DAY approaching."
