HEADWATERS LOGGING INTENSIFIES

Here's a quick down and dirty on the Hole in the Headwaters campaign.
Hotline number is 707/825-6598. Live human found occassionally at 707/825
9248. Feel free to forward this email.

1) Base camp has been moved to Swimmer's Delight, Campsite 27. Take 101 to
Hwy 36 (20 mi. so of Eureka). Go east 9 miles past Martin and Shirley's
Store. Look for brown and camping signs and turn right into Swimmer's
Delight. Make first left into old growth redwoods, drive all the way to
structures and look for site 27 to north (left) of bathrooms. Please bring
no dogs, as that is what forced us to move from Grizzly Creek. Dogs=no
forest defense. Got it?

2) Logging is frantic with dozens of loggers massacrering the majestic 75
year old redwoods just to the north of the ancient Headwaters grove and
within the boundaries of the Headwaters preserve. Actions are ongoing.
Come up anytime to participate. There have been 2 Sunday hikes to the Hole
in the Headwaters and 2 gate protests, including one by nine bare-breasted
women invoking the Goddess and God in all of us, including the timber
workers. Logging was delayed 2 hours. Media coverage went national. But
there needs to be more pressure if this area is to be preserved.

3) SLAPP suit. Yes, Pacific Lumber has filed a second lawsuit against
protesters, this one for simply standing near the gate that leads to the
Hole in the Headwaters. PL security thug "Nazi Carl" Anderson made
citizens' arrests on 9 people not breaking any laws just so PL could sue
them. Do not let this deter this. A counter-suit can be filed and
MAXXAM/PL has some deeeeep pockets. Protest the logging, get illegal sued,
sue 'em back, make Hurwitz and the Sheriff testify under oath and make some
retire money off the bastards. We have a legal team to assist in case
you're caught in this scam trap of MAXXAM's. This is a clear violation of
the first amendment of the Constitution. Counter-suits have already been
filed in the first SLAPP suit against Mattole forest defenders.

4) Organizer types needed. Media hounds, phone tree-climbers,
money-grubbers, and the most un-appreciated job of all, meeting circle
facilitators are needed in a hurry.

4) Funds are desparately needed. Send to Earth First!, Box 28, Arcata, CA
