[Iesaf_palouse] SAF

[Arleen and Ned]

Summer is gone and fall is here. I meet with the Inland Empire SAF Executive on Sept. 8. Of special interest to the Palouse/Snake River Chapter is that the $1500 loan we gave to IE for the Annual Meeting in May will be paid back with $500 interest for a total payment of $2000. The Annual meeting in Wallace was very successful. Some stated that it was the best SAF meeting ever and I feel that way as well.

 The 2011 annual meeting will be held next May to recognize the 100 year anniversary of the Priest River Research Station. It is the Palouse/Snake River turn to sponsor the meeting but it was decided that all chapters will share the meeting since Priest River is in the Selkirk Chapter and close to the Panorama Chapter. It will be difficult to match the 2010 annual meeting in attendance.

The next meeting of the Palouse/Snake River Chapter is scheduled for September 30 at the Best Western. The program will be Ned who will give a program on the 2010 flood of the South Fork of the Salmon River and its relation to the 2007 Cascade Complex and East Zone Fires. Ned is well qualified to talk about the South Fork of the Salmon River since he was District Forest Ranger of the Krassel District from 1971 to 1976 when there was much concern over logging related sedimentation of the river. Ned was the main author of the first Land Use Plan for the area that was approved in 1975 and successfully appealed by the Sierra Club. Rob Keefe is currently working on the meeting arrangements and more will be announced.

Our November meeting program will be CNR Dean Kurt Pregitzer who will follow up on the program last May by Dean William McLaughlin.
