portland imc - Cascadians investigate Clark Fire at Fall Creek: The trip to Clark seemed all the more appropriate with Bush coming to Oregon to ram his 'healthy forest initiative' agenda down our throats. With a fire 'spontaneously' occurring near Camp Sherman, where Bush was going to have a fundraiser and push his deforestation agenda, one has to wonder if this isn't the future of logging: to use fire emergencies as excuses to log hugely-profitable ancient trees on a case-by-case basis while degrading the quality of the remaining forest with clearcuts and quick-burning plantations which will promote future fire 'emergencies'.
