runneth over. How does this apply to the soggy sidewalks at city hall? I
might buy this for the soccer fields by the youth center or the park at
mountain view which are actual playfields but it doesn't fly for east city or
gormley. Why was the watering done outside the hours that the rest of the
citizens of Moscow were told were optimum. (and legally mandated) Do
playfields not get "bouncy" when watered after 6:00 PM and before
8:00 AM? How does this address the desire of our current city government to
acquire additional ground that will consume additional water? If it's all
about the liability of falling down on a hard surface why are we allowing
tennis courts and basketball courts to remain open to say nothing of the
exceedingly non-bouncy skate park? If the city is accepting liability for
injuries received on surfaces lacking in bounce I would have to suggest that
they do something about those nasty sidewalks that seem to be cropping up
everywhere. Or perhaps it will be your contention that this is what explains
the damp concrete around city hall?</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

the incumbent candidates you favor are so concerned (and "responsible")
with water usage in Moscow, unlike their challengers, why did the city of
Moscow not follow its own regulations for lawn watering? The grass (and
sidewalks) around city hall sure received more than its fair share of
water as did gormley mtn. view and east city park. Why do they
continually favor the dedication of additional park land? Land which, like
the golf course in Pullman, will require huge amounts of water to
maintain. I have not heard the candidates your organization endorses make
any resolutions to address the water issues in Moscow other than in the
form of anti-growth anti-business rhetoric. If it's outrageous to want to
have a green lawn and an aesthetically pleasant and restful cemetery why
not apply the same standard to city property? (300 sq. ft. of xeriscape at
the 1912 bldg. excepted, of course.) I believe that as far as the MCA
candidates are concerned the water issue is a tool first and a genuine
concern a distant second.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

think if you follow the usage curves for when the Wanapum got depleted
once before, our current usage curves and increase in number
of wells going dry shows that we are going down the same path and
very likely going to be facing the "crisis" referenced by Mark in about
15-20 years (not the century or more that you speculate) --
unless we do something to curb usage of the Wanapum. We had to do
this once before, more than 40 years ago, when we essentially
stopped pumping the Wanapum in the City of Moscow because the
Wanapum was going dry. We (City of Moscow) punched a well into the
Grand Ronde aquifer and started pumping it, instead, which allowed the
Wanapum to re-charge. We started drawing on the
Wanapum again, more recently (80s?), and the usage is tracking what
went on in the first half to mid-20th
century.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>

have several nearby friends within a mile of Moscow whose wells have

the failure of the GMA candidates to learn from history while they watch
it repeat itself is quite remarkable. I would suggest that it
shows just how foolhardy they are, and I really get a kick out of those
GMA PAC ads showing swimmers splashing around in lots of water,
while their candidates essentially say "use more and grow green
lawns," and "don't worry about frittering it away; since Pullman
