following message, along with the noted ITD memos, to our press contacts. (You
needn't have the memos to understand the message, but for the press, they
serve as documentation.) As you read this message, you're likely to respond as
we did: with increased anger and an even more intense passion to resist. We
assure you that, daily, the circle of opposition to the megaloads grows wider
and deeper.<BR>><BR>> Borg & Lin<BR>> The Rural People of Highway

target=_blank>www.FightingGoliath.org</A><BR>><BR>><BR>> SENT TO THE
PRESS THIS AFTERNOON:<BR>><BR>> In light of the planned 4 Conoco
Phillips and 207 Imperial Oil megaload shipments on U.S. Highway 12 in Idaho,
the attached internal Idaho Transportation Department memos further illustrate
how a single state agency is in the process of changing forever the character
of Idaho’s Clearwater-Lochsa corridor. The memos also further indicate that
ITD is bringing about the re-characterization of the corridor in closed-door
meetings and without public hearings or legislative input despite the fact
that this re-characterization will have profound consequences for the whole of
north central Idaho.<BR>> As the memos show, ITD recently met with Harvest
Energy, which according to the Wall Street Journal, is a major player in tar
sands oil extraction in Alberta, Canada, and was purchased one year ago by the
state-run Korea National Oil Corporation. Harvest Energy proposes to ship
40-60 modules along U.S. Highway 12 from Lewiston to Montana and on to
Alberta.<BR>><BR>> These shipments are to begin in June of 2011.
If we add up the number of megaload shipments ITD is now considering
permitting for travel on U.S.12 (4 + 207 + 40-60) corridor residents, business
owners, emergency travelers, commercial truckers and tourists will now witness
a total of 251-271 megaload shipments in approximately a single
year.<BR>><BR>> You may remember that ITD is legally responsible for
protecting the values of the Northwest Passage Scenic Byway and All-American
Road and enhancing the visitor experience.<BR>><BR>> If ITD is allowed
to proceed with its intended re-characterization of the highway, U.S.12 will
fast become the means by which we export more North American manufacturing
jobs to Southeast Asia, as well as enable the export of North American oil to
a foreign country -- and the State of Idaho will be complicit in such
exportations. At the same time, Idahoans will pay the price in personal
safety, a diminished tourism industry, accelerated replacement of damaged
highway and bridges, and in being pushed out of our own outdoor paradise by
foreign corporations -- with the assistance of a domestic, taxpayer-funded
agency. <BR>> Borg Hendrickson & Linwood Laughy<BR>> The Rural

ITD memos were acquired by Natalie Havlina of the Boise-based nonprofit legal
firm Advocates for the West via a Freedom of Information Act request, memos
that document a recent ITD - Harvest Energy meeting.<BR>><BR>>
