[Occupymendocino] Fw: Georgia Pacific Mill Site - what's happening?

[Ann Rennacker]

Yesterday my friend Jan and I went on Marie Jones' Mill Tour to learn about the options for creek daylighting, but it was raining, she didn't let the whole group catch up to her to hear what she said or see what she was supposed to be showing us.  Jan and I could not keep up with her so we missed most of what was being said, but I caught a few remarks I did not agree with.  Marie kept interjecting a negative opinion of the project and kept exaggerating how much it will cost.  She also was downplaying the toxins and how much cleanup needs to be done, and I did not hear whether she opined about whether different options would need more cleanup of the Millpond.  She went on and on about how difficult it would be to create a saltwater estuary and how costly, but that option is not what the community wants!  There was never a saltwater estuary there in the beginning, but the two creeks are there buried under concrete with huge culverts, and a lot of water was rushing through Alder Creek to the pond.  I never got to see Maple Creek, we almost had to run to catch up with Marie and she was finished talking by the time we got to the group, then she would turn her back and rush on.  Maybe because it was the second tour of the day and it was raining, but it was totally unsatisfactory.  Planning Commissioner Teresa Rodrigues was there and I could not hear everything Marie said to her, but it was a lot of negative opinions about the plans.  Did anyone else go on the walk? What was your experience like? Maybe it was just me she was running from, I think she likes Jan.  He didn't think it was informative and he wants to know. Ann
