With a few mouse clicks, you can easily design a picnic table for adults
or children. Design to pre-set measurements or customize to your liking. Other than square cuts, the software is programmed to use only two angles for ease of construction and aesthetics. To minimize the risk of table tipping when the table is overbalanced, the design software first attempts positioning the bottom of the table legs vertical with the outer edge of the table seat. Lessons learned from past experience translates into design features with emphasis towards a user friendly software program. |

Appeal to support Ilya Romanov (Russia)
Saturday, November 8th, 2014
Dear friends! We ask you to support Ilya Romanov, Russian anarchist accused of 'terrorism', who has already spent a year in prison. ABC-Moscow included him in the list of anarchist political prisoners.
On 26 October 2013 46-year-old anarchist Ilya Romanov was wounded in the city of Nizhnii Novgorod. The explosion which occurred late at night severely injured his left hand and burned his face. Ilya was taken to hospital where doctors amputated his arm. Romanov explained to the police that he unwarily used a pyrotechnic device. In December 2013 Romanov was charged with Article 205 and Article 30 of the Criminal Code of Russian Federation ("attempt to commit a terrorist attack"). (more…)

Some developments of the Kolchenko case (Crimea)
Friday, October 17th, 2014
Repressions against Crimean activists - See here for previous info.
There are some news on the Kolchenko/Sentsov case.
At first, FSB [internal security service] is looking for new suspects:
Also, "Union of solidarity with political prisoners" has received an internal FSB document from 22th of September, which besides 4 arrested persons, lists 4 other persons. Their names are listed in this document, but nothing more is known about them and their whereabouts.
Most likely this is growing to become a major falsified case.
This news about the document is only in Russian:

Neither Ukrainian nor Russian! – Let's develop our own camp, the third camp, that of social revolution! (Třídní válka)
Thursday, September 4th, 2014
Analysis from Left-communist comrades Třídní válka / Class War:
When we wrote some months ago in our text, "War preparations between Ukraine and Russia – Show or Reality?"i that the conditions for a new war ripen in Ukraine, many comrades expressed doubts or even disagreements with such a categorical statement. Now we can say that the conflict in Ukraine has clearly switched from the "cold" phase to the "hot" one and that what we are currently witnessing in the east of the country is the war by all definitions. From Lugansk on the border with Russia to Mariupol on the Black Sea coast two military forces compete in daily clashes when trying to enlarge the area under their control, they fight on the ground as well as in the air, in countryside as well as in industrial centers, artilleries shell villages, air forces bomb cities (under the pretext that their enemy uses the inhabitants as living shields), men, women, children die under the bombs and missiles… In four months of armed conflict more than 2,000 civilians and militaries have been killed and 6,000 others injured; 117,000 proletarians have been internally displaced and 730,000 others found refuge in Russia. Just as we were on the point of finishing this article dead bodies are strewn over the streets of Donetsk, caught in a government's offensive stranglehold.
In the same text we also wrote that the only reply of the proletariat to the war is to organize and develop revolutionary defeatism, i.e. practically refuse to join one or the other camp, on the contrary to build connections between proletarians from both sides of the conflict through the struggle against both bourgeoisies. As even in this field things developed, our text deserves (three month after publishing) a post-scriptum.
This text is based on information drawn from different sources (that we quote in footnotes) from militant blogs to official media. This short description of events in the Ukraine required hours and hours of careful work, searching information, reading texts, watching videos, comparing different data etc. We would like to emphasize two things: Firstly, the fact that the events that we describe here were not covered by BBC or Euronews does not mean that they did not happen, that we invented them (various leftist sources and also Ukrainian and Russian media describe them). Secondly, it is clear that the news that we get from the Ukraine are chaotic, incomplete and sometimes contradictory. This however doesn't mean that we should give up our attempt to grasp what is going on there. We believe that we should face a selective reporting of the state with a critical and radical position of anti-capitalist movement; we should develop and share information and analysis that see the world through a prism of revolutionary perspective.
War ideology (either based on a defence of a united national state on one side or the right for a self-determination and pro-Russian sympathies on the other side) is taking root in Ukraine, civil society organizations organize fund-raising campaign to support the army, popes bless arms of this or that side, and television repeats scenes of babushkas supplying armed man with their last jar of compote. Not all proletarians however let themselves to be brainwashed with the war propaganda of one or the other side, not all of them want to sacrifice themselves "for their homeland". Expressions of practical refuse of war slaughter appear in always greater numbers and both sides of the conflict have big difficulties to recruit new manpower for their mutual massacre. (more…)

Screening of "Sacco & Vanzetti" film in Riga (Latvia) + Sacco and Vanzetti… a 87 años de su ejecución, con la memoria anárquica intacta ($hile)
Wednesday, August 27th, 2014
From Riga, Latvia:
On August 24, 19:00, in the bar 'Chomsky' a film about "Sacco and Vanzetti" from 1971 was shown. After there was a discussion of the film and a talk about the activities of the Anarchist Black Cross and anarchist prisoners of Russia and Belarus.
This is a text written by Biblioteca Antiautoritaria Sacco y Vanzetti in Santiago, $hile, on the 87th year since the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti by the American State:
SACCO Y VANZETTI… a 87 años de su ejecución, con la memoria anárquica
"El enemigo nos quiere muertos y nos tendrá muertos para defender el
privilegio y la tiranía, para humillaros, para acobardaos, para
venceros, destruiros y encadenar los pueblos al carro de su esclavitud
(…) Y este mismo enemigo, clava sus inmundos tentáculos en la carne de
todos los pueblos de la Tierra, prepara el más grande militarismo del
mundo y se apresta a esclavizar la entera humanidad. Hay que aplastarle
la cabeza..".
Bartolomeo Vanzetti
El 23 de Agosto de 1927 en Massachusetts, EEUU, son ejecutados en la
silla eléctrica Niccola Sacco y Bartolomeo Vanzetti, dos inmigrantes
italianos y reconocidos anarquistas. Tras 7 años de juicio, son
encontrados culpables de robo con homicidio y se los condena a morir
El caso de los compañeros Sacco y Vanzetti es quizá el que ha tenido
mayor repercusión internacional, es sin duda un caso emblemático por
todo el proceso judicial que los mantuvo en prisión y que generó
reacciones a nivel mundial. (more…)

Arrest of Aleksandr Kolchenko in Crimea
Alexander "Tundra" Kolchenko, our anarchist and anti-fascist comrade, was arrested by Federal Security Service of Russia (FSB) in Simferopol in the middle of May.

Belarusian anarchist Dzmitry Rezanovich got a fine and deportation (Russia)
Sunday, July 6th, 2014
On 3 July Dzmitry Rezanovich was fined with 15,000 Russian rubles and deportation from Russia. It is still unclear for how long it will be forbidden for Dzmitry to enter Russian territory.
The deportation date was not announced yet and some sources point that it is possible only after the fine is paid. The relatives already got papers to do so.
We would like to thank everyone who supported Dzmitry financially and morally.

Repressions against Crimean activists: political context
Sunday, July 6th, 2014
Supporting campaign for Crimean antifascist Alexander Kolchenko
Crimea peninsula in the Black Sea was a part of RSFSR (Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) and then since 1954 a part of Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which were both members of USSR. After USSR collapse in 1991 the new independent state Ukraine received the territory of Crimean peninsula. Though, under the treaty between Ukraine and Russia there were considerable contingent of Russian navy on the territory.
On March, 2004, Russia redeployed supplementary units to Crimea and effectively annexed it, taking the opportunity of destabilization in Ukraine after Maidan protests. The considerable part of Crimean population concerned about possibility for nationalists to come into power in Kiev. They believed in promises to improve the economic situation in republic and supported the annexation. Most of Crimean population watch Russian TV-news which is continually broadcasting propaganda. On 11 March, 2014 the Supreme Council of Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol town council signed a declaration of independence of Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol. The meeting of parliament was classified, the building was blocked by militants without decoration. At least such atmosphere can signify that deputies were under political pressure and the very secure of the quorum on that historical meeting can raise doubts. (more…)

Some thoughts on the Ukrainian revolution
Friday, June 27th, 2014
Here's a letter from an anarchist friend (he's in Kiev). It's supposed to be a reply to Crimethinc's recent article on Ukrainian revolution and to everyone who so eagerly claims Ukrainian revolution to be a right-wing only affair. Hope you enjoy.
I'm writing to you from Ukraine. I participated a lot in Maidan riots and different anarchist initiatives during that time and want to make several comments that I find to be important for a better understanding of events. In general I agree with your hypothesis', but I want to emphasize several details which will make the picture not so dark.
To start with, nationalists and fascists took over the forefront of the confrontations only in the media image of Maidan. They have no real control over activities of protesters, but they controlled the scene of Maidan and the fascination of the mainstream medias.
Fascists from "Right Sector" and other organizations had a control only over their members. And it is very remarkable to emphasize that their organizational structures hadn't been very hierarchical. Groups among them were decentralized. (more…)

Statement on the confrontation in Ukraine
Friday, June 27th, 2014
In the ongoing conflict, we support neither Ukrainian government nor pro-Russian factions that established their authority on the portion of Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts. The working class (i.e. everyone who has neither power nor capital) is equally alien both to the concept of unitary Ukraine and to the ideas of "federalization" or creation of new states — these are merely the games of politicians, drawing blood from ordinary people. We, the left and the anarchists, should primarily adhere to the needs of the working class in the war-torn regions of Ukraine, protect their rights and freedoms.
Against LPR and DPR!
Donetsk and Luhansk "people's republics" are a collection of warring right-wing juntas. Rights and freedoms, which are granted to the rest of Ukraine, are not available in the territories under their control.
Public manifestation of political dissent is not possible there; worker rights activists who criticized DPR were kidnapped and tortured. Upon preservation of these regimes the working class will be completely deprived of any opportunity to defend their legal rights. The only possible form of the "left" activity in DPR and LPR is the ritual worship of Soviet symbols, which has nothing to do with the workers' interests. (more…)

Solidarity to anarchist Aleksandr Kolchenko, detained on terror charges! (Crimea)
Friday, June 27th, 2014
Aleksandr Kolchenko was detained in Crimea on the 17th of May 2014 on suspicion of participation in a "terrorist group," preparation of a terrorist attack, and arson.
He is suspected of having participated in a "terrorist group" which planned explosions near the eternal fire memorial and the Lenin monument in Simferopol on the 8th and 9th of May, and of having sabotaged railway tracks and electricity lines. Kolchenko is also suspected of having carried out two arson attacks: against the headquarters of the Russian Unity-party and Russian Community of Crimea on the 14th of April, and the office of the United Russia party in Simferopol on the 18th of April. He has since been transferred to Moscow and is being kept in the Lefortovo remand prison. The case is run by the FSB, the former KGB.
Aleksandr is an anarchist and antifascist who has participated in student and environmental actions. He has been part of campaigns against tuition fees and supported workers' rights protests. He was under constant Nazi attack for his antifascist ideas. One incident took place after a film screening about murdered anti-fascist journalist Anastasiya Baburova, where he was attacked by thirty Nazis using knives. In this context, claims by the Russian authorities that Aleksandr is part of the nationalist "Right Sector" are ridiculous, and he is denying these claims. (more…)

Arrest of the Belorussian activist
Dmitry Rezanovich was detained at the Russian-Ukrainian border with the passport to the name of his sibling in the middle of March. He didn't have any papers that could prove his identity. After detaining the anarchist clarified that he went from Ukraine to Kursk region to visit his relatives.
He has been sentenced to administrative deportation out of the Russian Federation according to the violation of the regime of residence. We hope that there won't be the initiation of criminal proceeding. Russian authorities claimed earlier he was suspected in participation in EuroMaidan and preparing a terrorist attack against the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant. Solidarity actions took place in Kyiv, Moscow and Lviv. (more…)

War preparations between Ukraine and Russia – Show or reality? (Třídní válka)
Monday, April 28th, 2014
The historical collapse of a model of management of the capitalist social relation, the one that had developed among others in Eastern Europe during several decades of counterrevolution, led to the dissolution and the disappearance of the USSR as an imperialist bloc. Since then, the proletariat in this region, as everywhere else in the world, had to undergo numerous new attacks against its survival conditions, but at the same time it also burned a certain number of illusions fuelled by the Western propaganda praising to the skies ad nauseam another model of management of capitalism considered to be more "human", more "free". This so much vaunted "world of peace and harmony", this new Eden promised to the "useful idiots" at the time of the fall of the iron curtain that sealed the end of a "bipolarized world", all these illusions get more and more smashed.
Rumours of war resound noisily in Europe again, cannons are loaded, fighter-bombers are packed with murderous bullets and bombs, missiles point their nuclear warheads at their future objectives: after wars that caused unrest locally and according to circumstances in Yugoslavia, Georgia, Chechnya, Dagestan, Ossetia etc. during this last quarter of century, preconditions for a new war have been intensively maturing in the Ukraine now, a war much more extensive and with unimaginable international effects.

Anarchist gathering – Libcom 2014 (Russia)
Wednesday, April 9th, 2014
Due to emails we received, 325 clarifies that this event has nothing to do with the British civil anarchist parasites that share the same name of the gathering. The call-out for this event came From Russia With Love, the counter-information site of new generation incendiary anarchy and global anti-civilisation attack.
This spring we invite you to our yearly forum in the wild, far away from the choking cities of yours. Everyone is invited to this sabbath. Every anti-authoritarian person, who shares the principles of equality and decentralization, who respects other people's opinion and wants to change the order of things.
Our aims:
• to strengthen the bonds and coordination between activists;
• to present working libertarian projects;
• to spread successful tactics;
• to solve various issues rising up among activists and between activists
and our adversaries or passive members of society;
• to improve and support the physical fitness of activists.
This sabbath will take the form of a camp that will last from May 9th till May 11th 2014 in one of the forests of Moscow area. The exact program will be ready in one month period, and by the way, we are counting on your help on this
one. We promise to make it intense and interesting. We will try to avoid the drudgery of common-place topics of discussion that plague similar events for years. (more…)

Incendiary sabotage against sand quarry by ELF/FAI/IRF (Russia)
Tuesday, April 8th, 2014
During the night of February 14th we, the silent shadows, sneaked into the tree cutters camp.
It was 3 o'clock in the night, but the workers were awake. They were going back-and-forth around the encampment, one quarry excavator was raping Nature while guards were watching TVs on their posts drinking beer. In our experience the camp was pretty large: 6-7 living sheds, several sheds for tools, 2 passenger cars, 3 excavators and 1 grader. Having sneaked between sheds and vehicles, we selected two excavators that looked as the most recent addition to local park (i.e., their loss will be most expensive). After that we followed routine procedure: put some rags around engine parts and oil pumps, soaked them with gasoline, etc. After we left the area, we tarried for some time to enjoy the night view. Both excavators were trailing huge columns of smoke into the air. We establish the damage done at around 6-8 million rubles (approx. 200 000 USD).
We hope this act will slow down operations in this quarry. The area already boasts several abandoned quarries. Since our initial recon in this district large tracts of wood were drained and cut in order to clear up space for more quarry works. The sand excavated in here is used for future development projects that do not take Nature or clean air into account.
We wish best of luck to all of you. Keep that fire burning.

Belarusian anarchist detained on Russian-Ukrainian border (Russia)
Wednesday, March 26th, 2014
Anarchist from Gomel – Dzmitry Rezanovich – was detained on March 13-14 by Russian security forces when he tried to cross the Russian-Ukrainian border. He is now at one of the Kursk pre-trial facilities, relatives are not allowed to visit him. It's not yet clear what was the reason for detention. He had the passport of his brother, but it looks like the special services were not interested in this misdemeanor, they allegedly suspect him of a conspiracy to launch an attack on Kursk nuclear power plant as well as participation in Maidan protests.
We think this story is connected with the Russian hysteria about possible war with the Ukraine and expected diversive acts from Ukrainian side.

All four were accused of "hooliganism", a criminal offense which is included in the amnesty bill, approved as a PR stunt on initiative of Vladimir Putin himself in advent of the Sochi Winter Olympics – most known amnestied political prisoners being 30 detainees of the Arctic Sunrise ship of Greenpeace, and two imprisoned members of Pussy Riot. Four anti-fascists had also other, less severe charges which fall under statutes of limitations. (more…)

Moscow: ELF torch excavator and dozer during New Year festivities (Russia)
Tuesday, January 14th, 2014
During the night of December 31 – January 1 we torched 2 vehicles used in development project in Southern Moscow. Security didn't expect us to show up as they were busy drinking themselves into oblivion at the guardhouse. So we used 2 jelly cans of gasoline and some rags to destroy unguarded machinery. No harm came from our actions (only harm being made was that to the developer's purse).
We dedicate this action to anarchists from Belarus, those who stay imprisoned. Guys, we remember you, we miss you and wait for you to become free again. We ask for ABC Belarus to help us in spreading this information and letting our imprisoned comrades know of our words and deed. We hope the news will help to lighten up the mood and keep you warm and smiling in the grey prison reality.
As for our ecodefence activism, we are not planning to make a U-turn. Unlike Mrs. Chirikova [self-proclaimed leader of mass protests during Khimki forest struggle - trans.] we are not looking for a comfortable chair in local administration. So we can afford to do what needs be done. We don't accept moanings like: "Violence is bad, we shouldn't be torching vehicles, we should get more signatures under petition, so as to be heard by federal government." This reminds us of the fears of a person who's afraid to loose the goodwill of powers-that-be. If we allow somebody to commit violence against ourselves, it means we're raising the white flag. It is time to question the rationale behind continuous withdrawal under the blows of authorities. It is time to stop hiding your inability to act behind phrases like: "we shouldn't act, this is violent tactics" or "this is too macho-ist" or "this is illegal". If you want to ask for permission to protest, you must understand that you're in fact selling yourselves. Only uncontrollable forms of resistance can hope to remain free. Any protest coordinated from under liberal umbrella organization is doomed to a failure. Gather your strengths, stay free and be wild, god damn it!

"Tom Brady improved his record as a postseason starter to 12-1 despite throwing three interceptions. Was it the most unlikely postseason victory in NFL history? Consider the following: 1. Brady had never before thrown more than two INTs in a postseason game, and the Patriots had lost all seven regular-season games in which he threw three or more. 2. Brady threw 51 passes in the Patriots' victory. Prior to New England's win, 26 teams had thrown at least 50 passes in a regulation-length postseason game and all 26 lost. 3. The Patriots' longest run was for seven yards by Kevin Faulk, snapping a 25-game losing streak by teams whose longest run in a postseason game was seven yards or less. The last team to win a playoff game under those circumstances was the Baltimore Colts in the 1959 NFL championship game against the Giants." http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=2731517
And to continue that thought, should we (or other fans) be surprised that NE was quite jubilant after that game?
Stats can't capture some choices... for example, throwing an INT on fourth down, when you know the Bolts get the ball anyway. Of course, that ended up being the play of the game, because the Pats don't score without the INT... but that could not be predicted. What can be said, is that the INT in that instance is not the statistical equivalent of, say, an INT in goal-line territory that gets run back to your own 1 yard line. The Denver INT that pretty much crushed all hope last year, and the INT that really had little downside, and ended up perversely helping us win this year, both go down as INTs. What we can say, is that the Bailey INT last year was less of a solid decision than this INT, which was a good decision. On the other hand... yeah, it was pretty evident it was a matter of gutting it out and taking what opportunities presented themselves. We certainly did not stomp them on an every-down basis; if anything, they were moving the ball on us much more fluidly. But then, the stat that matters is the one on the scoreboard. PFnV
I'm the biggest Pats fan ever, but the Jets over the Colts in 1969 was the biggest NFL playoff upset ever, and more unlikely than the Pats win against the Rams. The Pats regular season loss to the Rams at least showed that the Pats could hang with the Rams, their was no indication that the Jets could hang with the Colts.
It is truly amazing. How poorly overall that we played, yet we still won. Hopefully we bring our A game next week.

How student-built solar homes can help solve US housing and energy crisis
Few of the homes created by university teams in the Solar Decathlon are ever lived in – despite their extraordinary expense and tax on the environment. Instead of building temporary show houses, schools should build energy-efficient homes for local people who need them.
Kevin Wolf/AP Images for Dow Solar
Brooklyn, N.Y.
Can more than 100 student-built solar homes help solve America's housing and energy crisis?
The housing market is still riddled with foreclosures and the median home price fell in January to its lowest point since November 2001. Meanwhile, gas prices keep climbing, reigniting the debate over America's oil dependence and clean energy alternatives.
It's no wonder then that the Department of Energy is relaunching its flagship program – The Solar Decathlon – which enlists students to build solar-powered houses that are "cost-effective, energy-efficient, and attractive." The program has produced nearly 100 houses – distinguished by their energy performance, but also their cutting-edge design. Many of them have been displayed on the Mall in Washington, D.C.
But as the housing crisis forces many Americans into foreclosure and even homelessness, few of the Solar Decathlon homes are ever lived in; some are literally never reconstructed once the Decathlon event concludes after a few short weeks. None of that, however, speaks to the extraordinary expense and environmental impact involved with shipping tons of building materials – glass, steel, and wood – along with dozens of people for every team across the country.
Rather than building temporary show houses, imagine instead if such resources were redirected to building energy-efficient homes for real people who need them, if not working to improve the efficiency and affordability of existing homes. Students and universities can still pioneer new models of home building, but they should do so by partnering with communities in need and organizations already focused on serving them.
There is little doubt that the Solar Decathlon program has provided an invaluable, collaborative learning environment for teams of architecture and engineering students. And its two sites to date – the Mall in Washington, D.C., and this past year the nearby Tidal Basin – have exposed countless visitors and nearby lawmakers, presumably, to the art and science of green homebuilding.

they are about a $100 gun in working condition.
Just walking on the edge of of my grave.
If you think someone will be able to give you cash for the parts in the near future don't trade. If you can't get cash in the near future then trade.
that is pretty much the high end. you would be awhile trying to get $125 out of it most likely.
High Standards usually shoot WAY better than they should...so for a first .22 rifle, it'll do you justice. If nothing else, it'd be fun as heck for awhile...and you'll get $150 out of it...it won't be hard. Just do it, the fun you'll have will far outweigh the money you'll make later!!
Calico Specialist Marlin Specialist I'm not just Trigger Happy, I'm Trigger Ecstatic!!
Just took a look at the gun is in remarkable nice shape not a scratch rust or dings looks like a new rifle I think I'm going to do the deal
Good move We await pics!!
Here you guys go
Nice!! Now feed it a good diet of quality ammo...which means don't use Remington rimfire ammo...LOL

Lighting / Re: 270 ex ii or 430 exii for vacation
« on: May 10, 2013, 12:23:27 PM »
If you are looking to leave your expensive gear at home with the 600, a Yongnuo YN568EX might fit the bill. Read some good reviews on them, have yet to try. I do have both the 600 and the 430 though. May try a Yongnuo for some off camera stuff, but what I read is that it is a decent option for on camera as well and does HSS.

In a radio interview this morning with "Pedro Biaggi en la Manana" on El Zol 107.9 FM, President Obama was asked what he thought of Donald Trump's stunt two weeks ago, offering to make a $5 million donation to charity if Obama released his academic records.
Tune in to ABCNews.com on Tuesday, Nov. 6 for livestreaming coverage of Election 2012. Our Election Day show kicks off at noon, and the Election Night event begins at 7 p.m.
"So, did you choose to ignore him?" Biaggi asked.
"Well, it's always good to ignore Donald Trump," Obama replied. "I think it's always a good rule."
Obama, who has said he has never met Trump in person, joked last month that the media mogul seems to have it out for him because of a long-standing grudge from their childhoods in Africa.
"You know, this all dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya," Obama kidded with "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno, alluding to Trump's repeated birther claims. "We had constant run-ins on the soccer field, and he wasn't very good at it. When we finally moved to America, I thought it would be over."
Obama's appearance on entertainment programs and other lighter radio shows targeting constituencies of color comes as part of a final push to mobilize voters before Tuesday's vote.
The president told Biaggi of 107.9 FM that a big turnout among Latinos — America's fastest-growing minority voting bloc — would send an unmistakable signal to lawmakers in Washington.
"If the Latino vote is strong, it does two things," Obama said. "Number one, we win the election. Number two, it will also send a message to both the Democratic and Republican parties that the Latino community has to be respected and that issues that are important like health care and education and immigration reform and small business, all those issues have to be addressed.
"I think it will really be a sign of the Latino community's coming of age, politically," he said.

Bob Witzeman
May 7, 1927- August 30, 2014
The pillar of conservation of our chapter passed away peacefully last August, leaving behind his family and an Audubon chapter forever beholden to him for his monumental efforts to preserve species and habitats of this beautiful state. Bob served in the Navy in 1945, graduated from Oberlin College in 1950, and Case Western Reserve Medical School in 1954. He moved to Phoenix in 1958 and practiced medicine as an anesthesiologist for 30 years. During his career and retirement he devoted his life to conservation. While serving as president and conservation chairman for the Maricopa Audubon Society, he was involved in saving the desert nesting bald eagle and the Fort McDowell Yavapai and Apache Indian land by helping to defeat the proposed Orme and Cliff Dams; and later in saving the endangered Red Squirrel and sacred Apache Indian sites on Mount Graham; and in saving important habitat and a sacred Apache Indian site at Oak Flat from a destructive copper mine. He was an active birdwatcher who travelled widely throughout the world in search of birds and wildlife. Bob enjoyed photographing birds, butterflies, and dragonflies, and photographed several first state records of birds for Arizona. He is survived by his wife of almost 60 years, Janet, another pillar of our chapter; daughter, Karen and husband, Jack Rigney; son, Jeff and his wife, Kerry; his five grandchildren, Claire Rigney, Elaine Rigney, Michael Rigney, Connor Witzeman and Haley Witzeman, as well as three sisters, Mary Reinthal, Cile Rice and Alice Edwards and husband, Rich Edwards.
A Celebration of life Service will be held in late December. Memorial donations may be made to the Maricopa Audubon Society, c/o Matt VanWallene, Treasurer, 11004 E. Villa Park St., Chandler, AZ, 85248 or to the Center for Biological Diversity, P.O. Box 710, Tucson, AZ 85702-0710, or to the Grand Canyon Chapter of the Sierra Club, 202 E. McDowell Rd., Suite 277, Phoenix, AZ 85004.

Our chapter history is online. See interesting archives and chapter progress.
Publicity Chair Filled The Maricopa Audubon Society Board of Directors voted to accept Vicki Hire as our new Publicity Chair. Please contact Vicki if you have any chapter items that need publicity. The publicity chair is the conduit between Maricopa Audubon Society and the general public. This position includes placing notices in newspapers, writing press releases, submitting releases and published articles for archiving, etc.. Experience is helpful, but training is available. The chair also attends bi-monthly Board of Director meetings and is a contributing Board member. Would you like to help Maricopa Audubon Society with this valuable position? Please contact any board member.
We are active in habitat conservation for birds and other wildlife, with emphasis on riparian habitat, old-growth forest, and habitat used by endangered species. Our education committee sets up programs for local schools, and sponsors scholarships. We also sponsor numerous field trips throughout the year, mostly near the Phoenix metropolitan area, but also to other parts of Arizona and (occasionally) out of state.
Devils Canyon This riparian treasure (pictured right) is threatened by Resolution Copper Mine. Devils Canyon runs south of US 60 just east of Oak Flat Campground.
A Maricopa Audubon Society Success Story
This area is the site of the proposed Orme Dam, which would have flooded miles of critical riparian habitat on the Salt and Verde Rivers. Today, it is home to desert-nesting Bald Eagles and hundreds of other species of birds, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, arthropods, and plants that depend on this endangered riverine ecosystem. Maricopa Audubon was instrumental in stopping the dam project. In the background is Red (Sawik) Mountain, on lands of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
