New law in Wisconsin makes cycling a little safe and easier.
Posted: January 24, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentCyclists will know, understand and appreciate the new law. The job is to educate motorists.
The Bicycle Tune-up Bill, B265 has several provisions to help keep cyclists safe.
· That it is now legal for people who ride bicycles to signal turns with either the right or the left hand
· Allow vehicle operators to pass slow moving vehicles across a solid yellow line when it is safe to do so.
There are also several provisions to just clean up cycling laws and make them current.
· To use red rear lights in place of rear reflectors.
· Allow the use of a red rear light in lieu of a rear reflector.
· Adding handcycles to the definition of bicycles
· Allow the use of studded tires. (It is Wisconsin!)
· Allow municipalities to regulate moped parking.
Good job Wisconsin Cyclist!
See Governor Signs Bicycle “Tune-up” Bill for more about the bill and the efforts to get it passed.

Cyclists! We need to change this. It is legal to change it, it is right to change it.
Posted: January 18, 2012 Filed under: Criminal Liability, Cycling, Uncategorized | Tags: Cycling, Driving, Law, Maui, Organizations, Sports, Traffic Leave a commentWe have to get/force/educate law enforcement that cyclists are not just future road kill!
If you ride regularly, other than on a trainer, you’ve probably been scared, brushed or hit on a bike by a vehicle. If you are injured or your bike or other property is damaged, a
nd you call the police/state patrol/sheriff, you are probably ignored, or if they respond, still ignored.
People are starting to take action about the issue of motorists killing or almost killing cyclists. See Tell Maui and HI that you’re not coming until they prove the place is safe and the news article Family Of Killed Cyclist Mathieu Lefevre Sues NYPD For Withholding Information. The horses are hitched; it’s time to get on the band wagon!
This has to stop!
There are several things you must do (yes I’m not suggesting I’m telling you).
Before an incident.
1. Get a law passed that gives cyclists the right to call law enforcement that makes law enforcement respond.
The law should say the cops have to show up.
The law should say the cops have to take a report.
2. If you are politically active, ask politicians if they support the right of cyclists to be on the road. The law has already allowed it, so this is to find out any bias.
Once you get an answer if is one you like to tell them you are going to support them and tell everyone.
If it is an answer, you do not like, get it confirmed somehow. Record the response or get a written response, some way to hold the person accountable later. Usually when a politician finds out, they’re commented was stupid, they correct it.
If they still stand by a negative answer, let the world know. If proof of the claim I’ll post it, and I know of a lot of other cycling blogs that will post it. Let your local bicycle advocacy groups know. (You are a member right!).
After an Incident
For what to do before an incident and what to do after an incident see: How do you prove to a cop that you were not at fault in an accident with a car when you were on a bike?
If you follow the advice in How do you prove to a cop that you were not at fault in an accident with a car when you were on a bike?You should get a response. If not, then proceed to step 3.
After an Incident and you do not get a response!
1. Make noise. Make lots of noise. To borrow an old slogan, be loud and proud.
Contact the head of the law enforcement agency and get a reason why you have not had a response. Furthermore, ask for a copy of the file on the incident. In most states, you have the right and can get this file.
Contact the District Attorney’s office and find out why charges have not been pressed against the driver. Ask for a copy of the file.
Contact the chief political politician, mayor, commissioner, governor and ask them why nothing has happened. Ask them to investigate. A month later asks for a copy of their file on the incident.
Contact the local Visitors Bureau and let them know that you have that their city/county/state is dangerous, and you will let other cyclists know. Those cyclists’ make up a big part of the economy and cyclists visit the area to ride.
The more the merrier!
Ask your friends and other cyclists to help. They can also contact law enforcement, the District Attorney, the visitor’s bureau and the media to add weight and support to what you are doing.
In all communications, it is important for both you, and others that are assisting, to copy people on the communications. In many cases the people you copy are the most important part of the letter. CC everyone above on each other’s letters. Always include any bicycle groups or clubs with a copy. Include bike shops as a cc in your communication so the people you are contacting understand that you are getting the word out.
In your communications be polite and be persistent. Set up a schedule. Give the prosecutor and law enforcement a month at first. No response gives them another month, then 2 weeks then every week. I would suggest you do this in such a way you can keep records of your communications. What you said and when you said it. Email or in writing is best.
In your communications be polite and be persistent. Do not threaten anything except your vote and your obligation to communicate. You do not want to put yourself in any box except as an aggrieved citizen or worse charged with harassing a government official.
If you have not heard anything after the first week, get on the publicity horn. Prepare a written statement of what occurred. Include any witness names and contact information. Include any photographs, GPS files, etc. and send it to every media outlet in your community and every cycling media outlet. Most will ignore it, but on a slow news day, you may get lucky.
You want your initial contact to be valid enough so that you are not considered a whack job by the media. You want to come across as a member of the community hat was almost killed, and you want to know why the police have not done anything.
If you want to invest a ton of time, you can go to the courts in many jurisdictions and request a special prosecutor. A special prosecutor is one from another county whom the court orders to investigate the case and see if charges should be brought. This is rarely granted, however, it will show that you are serous, and it will help get more media interest in your case.
You may never get a ticket issued against the driver. However, you will let the community know that cycling is dangerous in your community and what politicians and other elected officials think about the issue.
If enough people do something, something will happen. Eventually, law enforcement will track down and start issuing tickets to.

OPINION
PER CURIAM
William Tucker Brownlee moved for leave to appeal from the August 31, 2010 interlocutory order denying his motion for summary judgment against plaintiffs, the Administrators of the Estate of Robert E. Angland and Nancy Angland, and Mountain Creek Resort, Inc. (Mountain Creek). We initially denied the motion. Angland v. Mountain Creek, et al., No. M-403-10 (App. Div. October 14, 2010). However, the Supreme Court granted leave to appeal and summarily remanded to us to consider the merits on February 15, 2011.
These are the facts presented to the summary judgment judge. On Friday, [*2] January 19, 2007, shortly before noon, plaintiff’s decedent, Robert Angland, suffered injuries resulting in his death while skiing at a ski area operated by defendant Mountain Creek. The facts are sharply disputed. However, all parties agree that just before the accident, defendant William Tucker Brownlee was snowboarding at Mountain Creek on the same slope as decedent. Brownlee and Angland made contact.
Besides these two points, the parties’ versions of the facts diverge. According to Brownlee, as he was snowboarding on the far right side of the trail, an unidentified skier wearing a brown puffy jacket came from his left and cut directly in front of him. In order to avoid the unidentified skier, Brownlee turned quickly to his left. In doing so, Brownlee’s snowboard and the decedent’s skis became entangled. The two men collided, fell, and slid downhill. Decedent ultimately impacted a concrete bridge headfirst. He died as a result. Brownlee stopped sliding. He stood up and went to Angland’s assistance. The ski patrol arrived and took decedent for medical assistance.
According to plaintiffs, there were almost no skiers on the trail at the time of the collision between Brownlee and decedent. [*3] Plaintiffs allege that Brownlee’s “phantom skier” scenario is impeached by other evidence. Brownlee’s version is that the phantom skier went in front of him and to his left. At Brownlee’s deposition, he testified the phantom skier was at “eleven o’clock” to his position, and that the phantom skier cut to his right and decreased his speed. As a result, Brownlee cut to his left. Before Brownlee’s snowboard went over one of decedent’s skis and under the other, Brownlee acknowledged that he was out of control.
Immediately after the accident, Greg Pack, Vice President and Managing Director of Mountain Creek, skied over to Brownlee, who was approximately fifteen feet from Angland and the bridge. According to Pack, less than one minute after the accident, Brownlee stated that he was cut-off and involved in a collision.
Within thirty minutes of the accident, Brownlee told his close high school friend, Keith Eilerstan, who accompanied him to Mountain Creek that day, that a lady fell in front of him, and as a result, he steered off to his right and collided with decedent. Brownlee also gave a written statement to Mountain Creek’s ski patrol and spoke to the Vernon Police Department on the day [*4] of the accident.
In not one of Brownlee’s statements to Pack, Eilerstan, Mountain Creek’s ski patrol or the Vernon police on the day of the accident did he identify the phantom skier by way of age, sex or clothing.
In a written statement, and in certified answers to interrogatories provided months later, Brownlee indicated that decedent fell and slid down the hill after the collision. Yet, he testified at his deposition soon after that he did not see decedent fall or slide.
Plaintiffs also note that Mountain Creek’s accident reconstruction expert has prepared a report stating that the collision between Brownlee and Angland most likely occurred approximately one hundred feet from the bridge. It is also likely that Angland’s multiple facial fractures were caused by the collision between the two men, as opposed to by contact with the bridge.
Plaintiffs’ liability expert, Irving S. Scher, Ph.D., a Biomechanical Engineer, has opined that Brownlee violated the standard of care set by N.J.S.A. 5:13-1 to -11 (Ski Act), the New Jersey statute that defines the duties involved in skiing. Specifically, N.J.S.A. 5:13-4 provides the duties of a skier. According to the report, the deviation from the [*5] statutory standard occurred when Brownlee failed to keep a proper lookout, made a panic stop, and turned to his left in front of decedent.
Plaintiffs sued Mountain Creek and Brownlee. After a period of discovery, Mountain Creek and Brownlee moved for summary judgment. Judge William J. McGovern, III, denied Brownlee’s motion for summary judgment, and granted Mountain Creek’s motion. In a written opinion, dated August 31, 2010, the judge concluded that, in viewing the facts in the light most favorable to Brownlee, as required by Brill v. Guardian Life Ins. Co. of Am., 142 N.J. 520, 666 A.2d 146 (1995), Mountain Creek was entitled to summary judgment on the issue of the Ski Act providing a standard of care. The judge acknowledged that the purpose of the Ski Act was announced by the Legislature in N.J.S.A. 5:13-1(b). This section of the Ski Act provides that “the purpose of this law is to make explicit a policy of this State which clearly defines the responsibility of ski area operators and skiers.” N.J.S.A. 5:13-1(b). The judge noted that the Supreme Court has recognized that the Ski Act completely replaces the common law with respect to the activities and persons it covers.
[T]he analysis of liability [*6] under the Ski Statute and the analysis under the common law of negligence have significant parallels.
That fact, coupled with the Legislature’s statements of intent, lead us to conclude that where the Ski Statute properly applies, the Legislature intended completely to displace the common law with regard to the statutorily defined parties. The Ski Statute was intended to “clearly define[] the responsibility of ski area operators.” N.J.S.A. 5:13-1(b). The legislative committee statement stated as a primary concern the uncertainty over operator liability following Vermont’s Sunday1 case. That interest would have been poorly served had the Ski Statute merely supplemented the common law. By codifying, as modified, fundamental principles of negligence as they apply to skiers and ski-area operators, the Legislature provided certainty by occupying the entire field.
[Brett v. Great Am. Recreation, 144 N.J. 479, 502, 677 A.2d 705 (1996) (internal citations omitted).]
1 Sunday v. Stratton Corp., 136 Vt. 293, 390 A.2d 398 (Vt. 1978).
On appeal, Brownlee contends that the judge “committed error in holding that New Jersey’s ski statute sets forth the standard of care applicable to claims between skiers.” We disagree and concur [*7] with Judge McGovern that this argument is without merit. We concur with the judge’s analysis and note that although the main legislative intent was to define the responsibilities of skier and ski area operations towards each other, the Legislature also intended to create a standard of conduct for skiers towards other skiers. N.J.S.A. 5:13-4 provides in pertinent part:
Duties of skiers
a. Skiers shall conduct themselves within the limits of their individual ability and shall not act in a manner that may contribute to the injury of themselves or any other person.
b. No skier shall:
….
(4) Knowingly engage in any act or activity by his skiing or frolicking which injures other skiers while such other skiers are either descending any trail, or standing or congregating in a reasonable manner, and due diligence shall be exercised in order to avoid hitting, colliding with or injuring any other skier or invitee.
….
d. A skier shall be the sole judge of his ability to negotiate any trail, slope, or uphill track and shall not attempt to ski or otherwise traverse any trail, slope or other area which is beyond the skier’s ability to negotiate.
….
g. No person on foot or on any type of sliding device [*8] shall knowingly operate said device so as to cause injury to himself or others, whether such injury results from a collision with another person or with an object.
[Ibid. (emphasis added).]
Moreover, N.J.S.A. 5:13-5 provides:
Assumption of risk of skier
A skier is deemed to have knowledge of and to assume the inherent risks of skiing, operating toboggans, sleds or similar vehicles created by weather conditions, conditions of snow, trails, slopes, other skiers, and all other inherent conditions. Each skier is assumed to know the range of his ability, and it shall be the duty of each skier to conduct himself within the limits of such ability, to maintain control of his speed and course at all times while skiing, to heed all posted warnings and to refrain from acting in a manner which may cause or contribute to the injury of himself or others.
[Ibid.; L.1979, c. 29, § 5, eff. Feb.22, 1979.]
Brownlee also contends that “there is no evidence that Brownlee breached the heightened standard of care.” There are material facts in dispute regarding Brownlee’s conduct. Disputes exist as to the presence of a phantom skier, and as to how and where decedent was injured. These factual disputes must be decided [*9] by the jury and summary judgment is precluded. Brill supra, 142 N.J. at 537.
Affirmed.
New Jersey Ski Statute
Posted: January 16, 2012 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentTITLE 5. AMUSEMENTS, PUBLIC EXHIBITIONS AND MEETINGS
CHAPTER 13. SKIING
GO TO THE NEW JERSEY ANNOTATED STATUTES ARCHIVE DIRECTORY
§ 5:13-1. Legislative findings; purpose of law
a. The Legislature finds that the sport of skiing is practiced by a large number of citizens of this State and also attracts to this State large numbers of nonresidents, significantly contributing to the economy of this State and, therefore, the allocation of the risks and costs of skiing are an important matter of public policy.
b. The purpose of this law is to make explicit a policy of this State which clearly defines the responsibility of ski area operators and skiers, recognizing that the sport of skiing and other ski area activities involve risks which must be borne by those who engage in such activities and which are essentially impractical or impossible for the ski area operator to eliminate. It is, therefore, the purpose of this act to state those risks which the skier voluntarily assumes for which there can be no recovery.
§ 5:13-2. Definitions
As used in this act
a. “Operator” means a person or entity who owns, manages, controls or directs the operation of an area where individuals come to ski, whether alpine, touring or otherwise, or operate skimobiles, toboggans, sleds or similar vehicles and pay money or tender other valuable consideration for the privilege of participating in said activities, and includes an agency of this State, political subdivisions thereof or instrumentality of said entities, or any individual or entity acting on behalf of an operator for all or part of such activities.
b. “Ski area” includes all of the real and personal property, under the control of the operator or on the premises of the operator which are being occupied, by license, lease, fee simple or otherwise, including but not limited to all passenger tramways, designated trails, slopes and other areas utilized for skiing, operating toboggans, sleds, or similar vehicles during the skiing season.
c. “Skier” means a person utilizing the ski area for recreational purposes such as skiing or operating toboggans, sleds or similar vehicles, and including anyone accompanying the person. Skier also includes any person in such ski area who is an invitee, whether or not said person pays consideration.
d. “Slopes and trails” means those areas designated as such by the operator.
§ 5:13-3. Responsibility of operator
a. It shall be the responsibility of the operator to the extent practicable, to:
(1) Establish and post a system generally identifying slopes and trails and designating relative degrees of difficulty thereof; and to make generally available to skiers information in the form of trail maps or trail reports.
(2) Make generally available either by oral or written report or otherwise, information concerning the daily conditions of the slopes and trails.
(3) Remove as soon as practicable obvious, man-made hazards.
b. No operator shall be responsible to any skier or other person because of its failure to comply with any provisions of subsection 3.a. if such failure was caused by:
(1) Abrupt changes in weather conditions;
(2) Hazards normally associated with the varying conditions of snow or undercover, including skier use; or
(3) Subject to the provisions of subsection 3.a.(3), the location of man-made facilities and equipment necessary for the ordinary operation of the ski area, such as transportation or grooming vehicles, which are marked by flashing lights or other suitable sight or sound devices towers, fencing of any type, racing poles, or any other object or piece of equipment utilized in connection with the maintenance of trails, buildings or other facilities used in connection with skiing.
c. Grooming shall be at the discretion of the operator.
d. No operator shall be liable to any skier unless said operator has knowledge of the failure to comply with the duty imposed by this section or unless said operator should have reasonably known of such condition and having such knowledge has had a reasonable time in which to correct any condition or comply with any duty set forth in this section.
e. Nothing contained in this act shall be construed as limiting or otherwise affecting the liability and responsibilities of a ski area operator under the “Ski Lift Safety Act” (P.L.1975, c. 226, C. 34:4A-1 et seq.), or shall prevent the maintenance of an action against a ski area operator for negligent construction, maintenance or operation of a passenger tramway.
§ 5:13-4. Duties of skiers
a. Skiers shall conduct themselves within the limits of their individual ability and shall not act in a manner that may contribute to the injury of themselves or any other person.
b. No skier shall:
(1) Board or dismount from a ski lift except at a designated area;
(2) Throw or expel any object from any tramway, ski lift, commercial skimobile, or other similar device while riding on the device;
(3) Act in any manner contrary to posted rules while riding on a rope tow, wire rope tow, j-bar, t-bar, ski lift, or similar device that may interfere with the proper or safe operation of the lift or tow;
(4) Knowingly engage in any act or activity by his skiing or frolicking which injures other skiers while such other skiers are either descending any trail, or standing or congregating in a reasonable manner, and due diligence shall be exercised in order to avoid hitting, colliding with or injuring any other skier or invitee.
(5) Knowingly engage in any type of conduct which may injure any person, or place any object in the uphill ski track which may cause another to fall, while traveling uphill on a ski lift;
(6) Cross the uphill track of a j-bar, t-bar, rope tow, wire rope tow, or other similar device except at designated locations.
c. Every skier shall maintain control of his speed and course at all times, and shall stay clear of any snow grooming equipment, any vehicle, any lift tower, and any other equipment on the mountain.
d. A skier shall be the sole judge of his ability to negotiate any trail, slope, or uphill track and shall not attempt to ski or otherwise traverse any trail, slope or other area which is beyond the skier’s ability to negotiate.
e. No skier shall board a rope tow, wire rope tow, j-bar, t-bar, ski lift, or other similar device unless he has sufficient knowledge and ability to use the lift. If the skier does not have such knowledge or ability, he shall ask for and receive, or follow any posted, written or oral instructions prior to using such device.
f. No person shall ski on other than designated trails or slopes.
g. No person on foot or on any type of sliding device shall knowingly operate said device so as to cause injury to himself or others, whether such injury results from a collision with another person or with an object.
h. A person embarking on a lift or tow without authority, or failing to pay appropriate consideration for its use shall be considered to be a trespasser.
§ 5:13-5. Assumption of risk of skier
A skier is deemed to have knowledge of and to assume the inherent risks of skiing, operating toboggans, sleds or similar vehicles created by weather conditions, conditions of snow, trails, slopes, other skiers, and all other inherent conditions. Each skier is assumed to know the range of his ability, and it shall be the duty of each skier to conduct himself within the limits of such ability, to maintain control of his speed and course at all times while skiing, to heed all posted warnings and to refrain from acting in a manner which may cause or contribute to the injury of himself or others.
§ 5:13-6. Application of law on comparative negligence
The assumption of risk set forth in section 5 shall be a complete bar of suit and shall serve as a complete defense to a suit against an operator by a skier for injuries resulting from the assumed risks, notwithstanding the provisions of P.L.1973, c. 146 (C. 2A:15-5.1 et seq.), relating to comparative negligence, unless an operator has violated his duties or responsibilities under this act, in which case the provisions of P.L.1973, c. 146 shall apply. Failure to adhere to the duties set out in sections 4 and 5 shall bar suit against an operator to compensate for injuries resulting from skiing activities, where such failure is found to be a contributory factor in the resulting injury, unless the operator has violated his duties or responsibilities under the act, in which case the provisions of P.L.1973, c. 146 shall apply.
§ 5:13-7. Report of injury; precondition to suit; limitation on time
As a precondition to bringing any suit in connection with a skiing injury against an operator, a skier shall report in writing to the ski area operator all the details of any accident as soon as possible, but in no event longer than 90 days from the time of the incident giving rise to the suit.
The report shall include at least the following: name, address, brief description of incident, location, alleged cause, others involved and witnesses, if any. If it is not practicable to give the report because of severe physical disability resulting from a skiing accident or incident, the report shall be given as soon as practicable. This section is not applicable with respect to a ski area unless the operator conspicuously posts notice to skiers of the requirements of the section.
A skier who fails to give the report within 90 days from the time of the accident or incident may be permitted to give the report at any time within 1 year after the accident or incident, in the discretion of a judge of the superior court, if the ski area operator is not substantially prejudiced thereby. Application to the court for permission to give a late report shall be made upon motion based upon affidavits showing sufficient reasons for the skier’s failure to give the report within 90 days from the time of the accident or incident.
§ 5:13-8. Limitation of action
Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5, and any other law notwithstanding, an action for injury or death against a ski area operator, ski area or its employees or owner, whether based upon tort or breach of contract or otherwise arising out of skiing, operating toboggans, sleds or similar vehicles shall be commenced no later than 2 years after the occurrence of the incident or earliest of incidents giving rise to the cause of action.
§ 5:13-9. Minors; tolling of limitations
If a skiing accident or incident, or an action based upon a skiing accident or incident, involves a minor, the time limits set forth in sections 7 and 8 shall not begin to run against the minor until he reaches the age of majority.
§ 5:13-10. Provisions of act cumulative with defenses under Tort Claims Act
The provisions of this act are cumulative with the defenses available to a public entity or public employee under the New Jersey Tort Claims Act (P.L.1972, c. 45, C. 59:1-1 et seq.).
§ 5:13-11. Severability
The provisions of this act shall be deemed to be severable, and if any phrase, clause, sentence or provision of this act is declared to be unconstitutional or the applicability thereof to any person is held invalid, the remainder of this act shall not thereby be deemed to be unconstitutional or invalid.

Publication of Environmental Assessments for High Flow Experiment Protocol and Non-native Fish Control
Posted: December 30, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 CommentThe Department of the Interior, acting through the Bureau of Reclamation, is proposing to develop and implement a protocol for high-flow experimental releases from Glen Canyon Dam to better determine whether and how sand conservation can be improved in the Colorado River corridor downstream from Glen Canyon Dam, and is also proposing to conduct research, monitoring and specific actions to control non-native fish in the Colorado River downstream from Glen Canyon Dam in an effort to help conserve endangered fish.
Two environmental assessments (EA) have been prepared to analyze and disclose the environmental effects of the proposed actions. The EAs are available on our website at the links below. Printed copies of the EAs are also available at the Bureau of Reclamation, Upper Colorado Regional Office, 125 South State Street, Room 7218, Salt Lake City, Utah 84138.
We have also included several related documents, including: the Biological Opinion recently received from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which covers both proposed actions; Science Plans for both actions prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey; and our determinations of eligibility and adverse effect for National Historic Preservation Act 106 compliance for both actions. All of these documents are provided at the link below.

NPS has a draft Health People Health Parks Program
Posted: December 22, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: fitness, health, natural landscapes, secies, well-being Leave a commentGreat program to help us and the parks.
Here is the statement from the NPS website.
What is Healthy Parks Healthy People US?
Healthy Parks Healthy People US is a holistic approach to promoting the health and well-being of people and the sustainability of the planet.
Healthy Parks, Healthy People US is a National Park Service initiative working to reintegrate human, environmental and ecological health into the mission of public parks and public lands. Although Healthy Parks Healthy People US is based within the National Park Service, it works with national, state, and local parks, as well as business innovators, healthcare leaders, scientists, foundations and advocacy organizations to foster the health-related role that parks can and do play in our society.
It’s a great idea, I hope it works.

Colorado River Protection Coalition Intervenes Against Flaming Gorge Pipeline
Posted: December 17, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Center for Biological Diversity, Colorado, Colorado River, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, FERC, Green River, Sierra Club, Wyoming 1 CommentFriends of the Poudre River!
Please see the press release below. We are working hard with great coalitions to protect the Poudre River as well as stop the ridiculous Flaming Gorge Pipeline. Please see Save the Poudre’s quote below:
“The Flaming Gorge Pipeline would be a flaming disaster for Colorado,” said Gary Wockner of Save the Poudre: Poudre Waterkeeper. “The Pipeline would be a devastating step backwards for water supply policy and river protection in Colorado and the Southwest U.S. — our coalition will work as long and hard as it takes to stop this project.”
Thank you for your amazing support!
| For Immediate Release, December 15, 2011 Contacts:
Colorado River Protection Coalition Intervenes Against Flaming Gorge Pipeline Denver, CO – Today a coalition of 10 conservation groups from Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Arizona — the Colorado River Protection Coalition — moved to intervene in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) review of the Regional Watershed Supply Project (a.k.a., the “Flaming Gorge Pipeline”). FERC is currently evaluating a preliminary permit application for the Flaming Gorge Pipeline from Wyco Power and Water Inc. FERC allows members of the public with a stake in projects to intervene in preliminary permit proceedings, and the Colorado River Protection Coalition, represented by Earthjustice, has called upon FERC to deny the permit on numerous grounds. “The Flaming Gorge Pipeline would be one of the biggest, most environmentally damaging water projects in the history of the western United States,” said McCrystie Adams of Earthjustice, the Coalition’s lead attorney. “The Pipeline would devastate the Green River, one of the West’s last great rivers and a sanctuary for native fish and wildlife, and severely harm the Colorado River downstream.” In its intervention comments, the Colorado River Protection Coalition asserted that the Flaming Gorge Pipeline is extremely unlikely to be permitted because it would likely violate the Endangered Species Act, would adversely affect four national wildlife refuges, and part of the project would be located in a U.S. Forest Service roadless area. The Coalition also argued that the permit should be denied because the applicant failed to meet various requirements during a previous attempt at permitting a nearly identical project with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Further, the Coalition asserted that the Pipeline is an extremely environmentally damaging water supply project that would irrevocably harm the Green and Colorado Rivers, not a “hydropower project,” and thus FERC is not the appropriate agency to lead federal review of the proposal. “The Flaming Gorge Pipeline would severely harm the Wyoming landscape it crosses,” said Steve Jones of the Wyoming Outdoor Council. “Our state’s heritage, wildlife, and economy are dependent on protecting roadless and wilderness areas.” “Four endangered fish — the Colorado pikeminnow, humpback chub, razorback sucker, and bonytail chub — are dependent on the water this pipeline proposes to drain out of the Green and Colorado Rivers,” said Taylor McKinnon of the Center for Biological Diversity in Flagstaff, Arizona. “The pipeline would spell disaster for those fish and the river ecosystems we and they depend on. It’s a foolish proposal in the face of global warming and projected declines in river flows.” “The Green River flows through Utah’s largest roadless area, provides 40 percent of the water entering the Colorado River at Lake Powell each year, and supports a world-famous trout fishery averaging 6,000 – 8,000 fish per mile” said Zach Frankel, executive director of the Utah Rivers Council. “This catastrophic proposal would not only mar these treasures, it would forever alter life in Utah.” The applicant previously sought a permit for the Pipeline from a different federal agency, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps). In July of 2011, the Corps terminated its review of the project because the applicant missed multiple deadlines and did not provide information requested by the Corps. A few months later, the applicant redesigned the project to include some incidental hydropower components and requested review through FERC. Despite the modifications, the project remains a huge energy hog — at least nine air-polluting natural gas-fired pumping stations would be required to pump the water uphill across Wyoming and over the Continental Divide. Wyco’s president has acknowledged that pumping the water uphill would use more energy than the project would create through hydropower. “We know this project would burn more energy than it produces,” said John Spahr of the Sierra Club. “Claiming it is a hydropower project is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to make an end-run around federal law.” Since its inception, the extremely controversial Flaming Gorge Pipeline has met with great opposition in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah. The water would go to the Front Range of Colorado which is projected to double in population in the next 50 years. Colorado is already a parched state with severely depleted rivers while the majority of the water in Colorado’s cities is used to keep lawns green for three months in the hot, dry summer across sprawling suburban landscapes. Duane Short of Biodiversity Conservation Alliance noted, “The Coalition believes that Colorado and other western citizens are beginning to realize that unbridled consumption of water from our rivers and aquifers will leave our precious water resources depleted leading to even more severe water shortages for our children and grandchildren. We hope the public will work with us to prevent this shortsighted and irresponsible water grab.” “The Flaming Gorge Pipeline would be a flaming disaster for Colorado,” said Gary Wockner of Save the Poudre: Poudre Waterkeeper. “The Pipeline would be a devastating step backwards for water supply policy and river protection in Colorado and the Southwest U.S. — our coalition will work as long and hard as it takes to stop this project.” This Coalition’s intervention is one of several being filed by public interest groups and local communities. Over a hundred public comments urging FERC to deny the preliminary permit have already been filed before the Dec. 19th deadline. Comments are posted on FERC’s website here: http://elibrary.ferc.gov/idmws/docket_search.asp (search for Docket Number: P-14263). The Colorado River Protection Coalition’s comments are posted here: http://savethepoudre.org/documents/Sierra-Club-et-al-Motion-to-Intervene-FERC-Project-No-P-14263-000.pdf A map of the pipeline’s proposed 550 mile route across Wyoming and down through Colorado is here: http://savethepoudre.org/documents/RWSP-Overview-map-12-15-2011.pdf |

Eleventh Biennial Coalition for Education in the Outdoors Research Symposium
Posted: December 16, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Bradford Woods, Conference, Indiana University, Research, Symposium Leave a commentWe write to remind you that the Eleventh Biennial Coalition for Education in the Outdoors Research Symposium is just a month away. It will be held from January 13-15, 2012 at Indiana University’s Bradford Woods.
Registrations have been arriving daily, but it’s not too late. If you’ve been meaning to register, please do so. The registration information and preliminary schedule of events and papers are attached and also available at www.outdooredcoalition.org.
Here’s what you can look forward to:
· The symposium will include over 30 research presentations (see attached schedule) on various outcomes or aspects of outdoor programs conducted in school, camp, college, adventure, and other contexts. Many of these papers investigate program components underlying outcomes.
· We have structured time for participants to identify and discuss issues and challenges facing our field.
· Peg Smith, Chief Executive Officer of the American Camp Association and active participant in the No Child Left Inside Coalition, is the featured speaker on Friday evening. (See http://www.acacamps.org/about/pegsmith)
· Beyond the formal presentations, the symposium is a unique and ideal opportunity to interact with others in the field. The event attracts established and emerging scholars from a host of disciplines and leaders from professional associations and agencies. As such, it is a gathering of persons that would not occur at any other conference. The setting, the people, and the program make opportunities for meaningful conversation abundant. The CEO symposium has been the starting point for many long-lasting research and professional collaborations.
· The combined lodging, food and registration costs for the weekend range from $208 – $248, depending on the type of lodging selected.
Please join us again in January. You won’t be disappointed.

USA Cycling has a new Race Director Program and Race Director License
Posted: December 6, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Bicycle Racing, Cycling, Race Director, Racing, USA Cycling Leave a commentThe goal is to improve racing in the US.
The program is designed to increase and level the knowledge and skills of face directors across the US. The program will start in 2010 and initially be the same price as the regular club license.
Beginning in 2013 courses will be offered throughout the country. Additionally, directors will be required to take continuing education courses to stay current and proficient.
Hopefully this will raise all races to a higher level rather than creating problems for the industry.
For more information about USA Cycling go here. For more information on the new programs and licenses for race directors go here.

Why is this blog here and what happened
Posted: November 23, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: android, bing, gmail, google Leave a commentDon’t make Google mad……however you will never know if you do
Of course I had already drunk the cool-aid when I figured that out!
My jhmoss@gmail.com account was disabled by google. Because it was a free account you cannot find out why and there is no one to contact to find out if you can get it back.
Losing an email account is a pain, but most people have more than one, as I did, and it is not a total disaster, unless you lose the google account that is tied to everything else google.
Like:
My email
My blog: with over 300 posts
My phone number: 720 Edit Law was a google voice phone number. When I lost that email, I lost that phone number
Unknown number of phone calls from clients and other people calling that number the past six days
My voicemail: all voice mail messages I have received and not checked yet or kept for various reasons is gone because I used google voice.
My apps on my android phone: very few of my apps now work on my android phone
My android phone is not working well at all. Every couple of hours I have to turn it off and back on again. It is just opening apps up continuously after a while and you can’t stop it.
If I get a new phone or have to reset this phone I will lose all of the apps I paid for. When you reload your email account the apps download that you’ve paid for. This won’t work now.
My RSS feeds because I was using google reader
My podcasts because I was using google reader
All documents I have at Google Docs
2000 contacts who I’ve given business cards to with a now dead phone number
500 contacts who I’ve given business cards to with a now dead email address
Actual costs
2000 business cards with wrong phone numbers or email addresses
250 refrigerator magnets with a QR code taking you to the wrong phone number or email address.
Dozens of hours of frustration, agony and anguish.
How did it happen?
I can honestly say I don’t know. I was exploring google’s new music service. Whenever I found a “free” song I liked I clicked on it. After a while I realized nothing was happening. Nothing was downloading, nothing was going on. I clicked on country music songs even, and believe me I’m not a country music fan, except maybe Willie Nelson on some days and still nothing. The songs had listen buttons so I clicked on them and was listening to some of the music and moved on to some other sites to research.
About that time I was getting error messages from Outlook asking me for my password. This occurs occasionally with Outlook so I ignored it.
Eventually I tried to do something that required me to log into my gmail account. When I did I was taken to a page that said my account had been disabled. From that page you are directed to the terms of service and a “contact” page. The contact page allows you to ask for “help” by telling google what happened. This I suspect from my research is a joke because no one knows what happened based on the google forums I have been living in.
That is the end of the story, there is no help, and there is no redress, there is nothing.
So?
1. I’m trying to rebuild my blog. After about 4 days I realized I was out of luck and needed to start again. I’ve opened a WordPress account and started posting new and old blog posts there. www.recreation-law.com.
For the time being, things are going to be lacking links to older articles. Sorry, I’m moving as fast as I can. Long term I hope it is slightly better than before. It’s an opportunity to clean up and re-do.
2. Next is to start with email addresses and to stabilize them. I need new, non-google addresses to contact everyone and let them know I have new email addresses and phone numbers. I can’t use google email to do that because they kick you off the service for too many bounced emails. Since I don’t know who was emailing me, I figure I have to contact everyone. I have 12,069 contacts in Outlook; I really hope I have a lot of duplicates.
3. Buy new business cards and refrigerator magnets……
What can you do?
The terms of service that you agree to with google are absolutely draconian and you have little chance of prevailing. I have figured out one area they might have missed I believe.
Because my telephone is affected by all of this, google, a non-telephone provider has cancelled my phone service in violation of Federal Communications Commission regulations. I’m hoping that I can have the FCC hop on this bandwagon. Any time you file a complaint with a state or federal agency you need to do two things.
File the complaint online as they request and follow up with a written complaint. The written complaint should include a copy of the online complaint so you don’t have two running, as well as including any documentation necessary.
Copy your Senators and Congressperson.
I’ve also filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The terms of service cover email quite broadly however they can’t say they can take away your phone service.
Wish me luck.
PS
Thank heavens I did not buy into google wallet, they would have taken my money.
PSS
I also switched to Bing for my searches. J

Great article on why some corporate apologies fall short and they are not sincere
Posted: November 23, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Apology, Complaints, Lawsuits, Netflix Leave a commentThe same goes with dealing with anyone in a Crisis.
The article starts with the apology from Netflix that created more problems than it solved.
If you don’t mean it don’t do it.
Throwing half-hearted apologies at an issue will just exacerbate a festering problem — and people will view it as an obvious and empty attempt to quiet the masses.
The article deals with the issues for a corporation or business that has created a public relations disaster. However, some of the ideas can apply to any situation where people are not happy or people are upset over an issue with you or your business.
Most reputation blows require a clear, strategic message, explaining two things: (1) what went wrong, and (2) what you are doing to rectify the situation
The latter part is equally important. People don’t complain to complain, no matter what you may think. They complain to get you to change or at the very least to acknowledge that there is a problem.
If there is a problem, tell them what you are doing to fix the problem.
If there is a reason why you are not following their advice, tell them that. Explain with as much detail as needed why you cannot do what they suggest.
Not all the ideas in the article I believe are great in all situations. The statement: “That is, don’t allow feelings of regret to cloud your best communications judgment.” I hope means to communicate clearly. I do believe that allowing true feelings, as long as they do not interfere with the communication, to be expressed to help the situation. When people understand that you understand, and are sorry for the situation, they are going to start to feel better.
Another statement that is great is “reaffirm their commitment to the values that underpin their companies” If your company has core values, remember them. Use that as your basis for dealing with the problem. Those values may provide a light to follow when you are being swallowed up with people throwing crap at you who are unhappy.
· Remember an apology cannot come from your attorney or your insurance company: don’t get them involved.
· Remember an apology must be real, or you are just ramping up the fight.
· Remember, work through your apology from the perspective of your guest or customer, not from your position. No one cares about your position.

For other articles on Apologies see:
Money is important in some lawsuits, but the emotions that starts a lawsuit.

Dealing with an accident, injury or problem is a conflict, when you allow yourself to create one.

States that allow a parent to sign away a minor’s right to sue
Posted: November 23, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Minor, North Dakota, Wisconsin Leave a commentIf your state is not listed here, you should assume a parent cannot waive a minor’s right to sue in your state.
