Message-ID: <199708082313.QAA07501@scn.org> Dear Fellow Member of the Internet Community: I am writing to express the American Civil Liberties Union's (ACLU) very deep concern about the tenor and the outcome of the recent White House "Summit" on Internet content rating and filtering. We fear that the stunning and sweeping victory for free speech on the Internet won in the Supreme Court case Reno v. ACLU is being put at risk by a headlong and uncritical rush to embrace content rating and blocking systems, that may banish provocative and controversial speech to the farthest corners of cyberspace. Attached is the ACLU White Paper, Fahrenheit 451.2: Is Cyberspace Burning? -- How Rating and Blocking Proposals May Torch Free Speech on the Internet. The White Paper examines the free speech implications of the various proposals for Internet blocking and rating. Individually, each of the proposals poses some threat to open and robust speech on the Internet -- some pose a considerably greater threat than others. But linked together, the various schemes for rating and blocking could create a regime of private "voluntary" censorship that is every bit as threatening to what the Supreme Court called "the most participatory form of mass speech yet developed." This time the threat may not come from the blazing inferno that would have been set off if the CDA had gone into effect, but from the dense smoke created by "voluntary" blocking technology, that hides all but the most innocuous speech from plain view. We fear that the widespread adoption of the rating and blocking schemes will move us inexorably towards an Internet that is bland and homogenized. The major commercial sites will still be readily available -- they will have the resources and inclination to self-rate and third-party rating services will be inclined to give them acceptable ratings. Quirky and idiosyncratic speech, individual home pages, or postings to controversial newsgroups will be blocked by the filters and made invisible by the search engines. As the lead plaintiff and attorneys in Reno v. ACLU, we call for an open and genuine debate and discussion among the Net community, industry, policy makers and family groups about the details and free speech implications of the systems that now exist and that are being proposed. Civil libertarians, human rights organizations, librarians, and Internet users, speakers and providers all joined together to defeat the CDA. We achieved a victory which established a legal framework for the Internet that gives it the highest constitutional protection. All that we achieved can now be squandered, if those same groups participate in a redesign of the very architecture of the Internet that builds in tools for content blocking that are readily available to waiting private and governmental censors. The movement to embrace the new blocking schemes has built with remarkable speed, but it is not too late for the Internet community to slowly and carefully examine these proposals and to reject those that will transform the Internet from a true marketplace of ideas, into just another mainstream, lifeless medium. We urge you to read the paper and join us in the debate. Sincerely, Barry Steinhardt Associate Director [Fahrenheit 451.2 may be found at: http://www.aclu.org/issues/cyber/burning.html] * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From the Listowner * * * * * * * * * * * * .

Historical Society SP&S Convention Points of Interest Union Pacific E9's Southern Pacific 4449 Sections Modern Railroads Historical Railroads Tourist RR/Museums General sites Model Railroads The Pacific Northwest has an abundance of railroading attractions, ranging from active passenger service (Amtrak) to active Class 1 freight service (BNSF, UP), to numerous active branch lines, to tourist trains, to museums, and model railroad clubs. This page focuses on railroading in Oregon and Washington. I'm based in Vancouver, WA where the BNSF and UP provide the hottest mainline action in the Portland, OR area. Ride the rails of the Spokane Portland & Seattle Railway on the official web page of the SP&S Railway Historical Society. SP&S Convention: Annual convention scheduled for July 5, 1997. The Pacific Northwest is rich with railroading history. From logging to long-haul freight and passenger service, railroads played an important part in the development of the Pacific Northwest. Many railroading points of interest are within 50 miles of Portland, OR. The Union Pacific E9's led an excursion on Sept. 30/Oct. 1, 1995 from Portland, OR to Bend in Central Oregon, and back. The route taken was the UP through the Columbia River Gorge, connecting with the Oregon Trunk at the mouth of the Deschutes River. This trip was sandwiched by excursions with the UP 3985, which took the weekend off and sat idle at Portland's Albina Yard. I fanned the E9 segment, bringing back photos from the weekend trip. The Southern Pacific 4449 rode the rails of the Willamette Valley in October 1995. The Willamette Pacific and the Portland Western sponsored the weeklong excursion promoting the railroads in communities throughout the valley. I caught the action on two of those days, and came back with about 60 photographs. I've made 5 of these available to browse on the SP 4449 photos page.

They have five operating steam locomotives, ample track running through the woods and across impressive bridges, and it is a great ride! The 1997 operating season begins on May 24th, with trains running on weekends. Starting June 15th, the trains will run daily. The 1 1/2 hour trip begins at Elbe, with a short layover at Mineral Lake, then returns to Elbe. Departure times from Elbe are: 11:00, 1:15 and 3:00 Fares are: Adults $9.50, Seniors $8.50, Juniors $7.50 and Children $6.50 The Cascadian Dinner Train returns to the rails every Saturday evening starting May 24th.

Box 921 Elbe, WA 98330 Some on going projects at the Mount Rainier RR, that I'm aware of, are the restoration of 2-8-2 #70 (former Rayonier). There is also the "Skookum" 2-4-4-2 that's been in storage at the shops at Mineral for a while. For those of you have Nils Huxtable's book, Classic North American Steam, you can see a picture of #70 on page 78 when it was in Snoqualmie Washington at the Puget Sound and Snoqualmie.

The depot, owned by the non-profic Puget Sound Railway Historical Association, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Steam trains depart from the depot every summer weekend for runs through the scenic Snoqualmie Valley. The station also represents a change in the Valley's economy from dependence on logging and lumber to a growing tourism industry. History Railroads were America's primary mode of transportation for well over a century. Their ability to move people and goods efficiently made it possible for the United States to evolve from a string of former colonies along the Atlantic coast to a continental world power. The Pacific Northwest was a remote and isolated region of this country until the arrival of the Northern Pacific Railway in the 1870's. Tacoma was selected for the railway's Puget Sound terminus. Both the NP and Tacoma worked to make it the dominant city on the Sound, usually at Seattle's expense. Seattle, desiring a rail link of its own, was determined not to be outdone. The town's leaders gave their support to the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway, organized in April 1885 and financed by local interests. The goal was to build across the state, and the connect with the Great Northern Railway which was reaching toward Spokane. The line was pushed north from Seattle along Elliot Bay, skirted Ballard, then turned east along the Ship Canal and Lake Union. It followed the western shore of Lake Washington to Woodinville. (Most of this track has been removed and has become the popular Burke-Gilman Trail.) At Woodinville the line split. One branch went north to meet the Canadian Pacific Railway at Sumas. The other line snaked through the communities of Redmond, and Issaquah, before reaching the foothills of the Snoqualmie Valley. The Snoqualmie Valley was on an Indian trade route. Tribes would hold council at the foot of Snoqualmie Falls. The first white settlers arrived in the 1860's and began to farm. A 4,000 acre hops ranch became the upper valley's biggest industry. The huge stands of cedar and fir were not commercially useful as there was no practical way to get the logs or finished lumber to the market. The arrival of the railroad changed everything. On June 10, 1889, just months before statehood, the S.L.S. & E. Railway opened its line to the Snoqualmie Valley. Now lumber could be shipped out, while supplies and machinery could be brought in. People could go between Seattle and the Valley in a few hours. This brought a population increase and prosperity to the area. The line was built as far as Tanner, two miles east of North Bend. Ahead lie the rugged Cascades, and tremendous construction costs. The railway's managers were faced with the task of soliciting investment in their enterprise. At the same time, rumors were cirulating that the SLS&E was having financial difficulties. To dispel fears that the railroad was not a good investment, it was decided to construct a large and fancy depot in Snoqualmie which was expected to become the largest city between Seattle and the Cascades. In May 1890, the firm of Scott and Anderson was chosen to build a depot in Snoqualmie. The contract specified that it had to be completed in ninety days. The site was given to the railroad by the city. The station cost $4,200 to build and was the finest depot on the railroad. Despite the effort, the railroad was never extended further east although it did reach the Canadian border. In 1957, the Puget Sound Railway Historical Association was founded to preserve the Pacific Northwest's railroad heritage. Over the years the Association has restored the Snoqualmie Depot to its original granduer, and maintains five miles of track and railway equipment. No visit to Snoqualmie is complete with a stop at the depot! History of Snoqualmie Railway/Depot All Aboard to Preserve History!

One more time.. In-Reply-To: <199708061937.MAA12301@scn.org> Message-ID: OK..here is one for you Doug. In Nov of 1994 I went to the Seattle Public Library to do some research on some family history because of some questions from a friend. I had not been to the library for several years...I discovered that there was no 'card catolog' anymore...it was all online...and then next...that there was access to other library catalogs online. I was able to find the resource material I needed at another library and get it through interlibrary loan. At the same time...I began to be aware of the Internet ...and applied for a free e-mail account at SCN. I got the account confirmation around Xmas time that year. Please note...at this time I was pretty much computer and Internet illiterate...also, very depressed, unemployed...isolated...etc. I learned to use the system...began to learn how to use the Internet...and wanted to get more involved. So started to go to the SCN meetings...wanted to volunteer...and it was a bit hard to get connected. Then...summer of 1995...they said they needed help on the "help desk" at SCN...I didn't know a lot...and I figured maybe I could help with the 'newbie' questions a bit. Soon I was mostly only one responding to questions...so many did not get answered...then some other volunteers stepped in and helped out. I decided to go back to school...applied for...accepted to the Network Tech program at North Seattle Communitty College. Unfortunately, because of economic situation was not able to continue...however, before I dropped out...through their employment resources...applied for and got a job...doing Win95 tech support!!! this was with no background in Windows at all! Not all of the hiring was due to SCN, of course. and I am quite sure that I would never have had the opportunity if not for SCN. <> On Wed, 6 Aug 1997, Doug Schuler wrote: > Date: Wed, 6 Aug 1997 12:37:53 -0700 (PDT) > From: Doug Schuler > To: scn at scn.org > Cc: SSilha at aol.com > Subject: Stories, please!

Now that she is back, I would very much like to see her put her talents to work as president of our organization, (if the new board should choose to nominate her again.) I've worked on committees with Aki since before we went online, and have always been impressed with her coolheadedness, professionalism and dedication. She's *exactly* what this organization needs right now. I absolutely agree with Steve, here, and would strongly urge her to reconsider her decision. okay, I'll get off the soapbox and let someone else use it now :) Nancy On Fri, 22 Aug 1997, Steve Hoffman wrote: (Aki said) > > My decision that I will not be President any longer takes a weight > > off of my shoulder and perhaps is the first step towards moving in > > a positive direction.
