Environmentalists file suit against government
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON— Navy fighters are dropping dummy training bombs near sea lions on a national wildlife refuge off the coast of Washington state, the most blantant of dozens of violations on wildlife reserves, environmentalists said yesterday.
"It comes as a shock to people that national wildlife refuges are not what they say they are," said Karin Sheldon, vice president of The Wilderness Society.
The Wilderness Society, the National Audubon Society, Defenders of Wildlife and others filed a lawsuit yesterday in the U.S. District Court in Seattle seeking injunctions to halt the alleged government abuses on 10 of the country's most sensitive refuges.
Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, California,
Massachusetts and Florida, thev said,
The military exercises, livestock grazing, motorized boating and other recreation illegally harm wildlife on reserves in Washington, Oregon.
Massachusetts and Florida, they said. A second lawsuit says out what the environmentalists said was the most outright example of illegality — divingbomb Navy jets dropping 25-pound inert loads on the rocks and islands of Washington's Copalis National Wildlife Refuge.
Threatened Steller sea lions, gray whales, seals and migratory sea birds inhabit the refuge, which the Interior Department has allowed the Navy to use as a training target since World War II.
Fish and Wildlife Service director John Turner has refused to halt the practice bombing runs 85 miles west of Seattle, citing national defense concerns. And Rob Shallenberger, chief of the service's refuge division, said there were no plans to revoke the Navy's bombing permit under this administration
Lt. Jesse Tillman, a representative
The Navy began a new biological assessment of the training runs earlier this year. Tillman said, but currently adheres to a state study conducted in 1984-85 that found the impacts to be minimal and insignificant.
But Jim Whittaker, the first U.S. citizen to reach the summit of Mount Everest, said he had witnessed destruction on Copalis' Sea Lion Rock from his cabin on the Washington coast.
"For many years my family and I have watched bombing and missile attacks on this rock," said Whittaker, a member of Defenders of Wildlife. "We have found in their aftermath dead seals, sea lions and birds, and witnessed the shattering of a bay's tranquil state of nature."
Shuttle launches despite high winds
Columbia lifts off in 24-mph gusts for 10-day mission
The Associated Press
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Columbia roared safely into space with six astronauts and a laser-reflecting satellite yesterday after NASA waived a flight rule and launched the shuttle despite excessive wind gusts.
the allowable limit of 17 mph by 7 mph, and Columbia soared into a clear sky at 1:09 p.m.
"The flagship of the fleet is back in space again," shuttle commander James Wetherbeer said moments after NASA's oldest shuttle reached orbit.
Shuttle deputy director Brewer Shaw said he and other mission managers decided to launch Columbia into the air at a speed of the wind was within limits.
Not everyone at NASA agreed — flight director Jeff Bantle at Mission Control in Houston voiced concern in the final minutes before liftoff.
"We made a management decision that went in a different direction," Shaw said.
Shaw, a former shuttle commander, said that if Columbia had to return Kennedy because of main engine failure, the landing would have been safe despite the wind. The gusts occurred about every minute and lasted up to seven seconds, he said.
Once settled in orbit, the crew of five U.S. scientists and one Canadian scientist prepared for its first major
task, release of the Laser Geodynamics Satellite, or Lageos. Geologists hope to track the slow drifting of continents by firing laser beams at the satellite and measuring the time it takes for the pulses to be reflected back to Earth.
The aluminum and brass ball, just 2 feet in diameter but weighing 900 pounds, was to be freed from the cargo bay tomorrow morning.
Lageos is expected to provide more accurate information on the movement of Earth's plates and, as a result, improve scientists' understanding of earthquakes.
After deploying Lageos, the astronauts will perform medical, metal-melting and ozone experiments, keep tabs on 12 rats flying as a part of a bone-loss study and test a Canadian robotic vision system designed for the shuttle arm.
The mission is scheduled to end Nov 1.
