[COAL-EXPORT-FORUM] Sunday Benefit Brunch at Media Island July 7th 11-2 Inbox x Mary Kaye mk.inwa@gmail via lists.sierraclub.org 6:53 AM (1 hour ago) to COAL-EXPORT-FO. "Local man to walk 1,000 miles of proposed coal train route from Helena, Montana, to Cherry Point near Bellingham, Washington: An Olympia resident, Matt Fu, is seeking out the perspectives and voices of the people most affected by the long trains that would haul coal from Montana and Wyoming to the proposed export terminals on the Pacific Coast – and he wants to celebrate the beautiful calm and the peacefulness that characterize our gorgeous Cascadia region – so he is preparing to walk 1,000 miles of the proposed PRB coal train route in August and September of 2013. The journey will take him from Helena MT through Sandpoint ID down to Washington’s Tri-Cities (Richland-Kennewick-Pasco), down along the Columbia River through Portland OR, and up to the proposed Cherry Point terminal outside Bellingham WA. He is already active with a local low-powered radio station (KOWA-FM 106.5, located on Media Island’s property at 816 Adams Street SE, Olympia) and a board member and manager of Seattle’s community station, Hollow Earth Radio. He will broadcast as much of the vibrant terrain and conversations with local folk as possible live online, as well as archiving the audio and video on a website for this “Light On The Corridor” journey. Matt invites everyone to take a closer, unfiltered look at what people think of this coal export proposal. Early sponsors of this documentary project are MASA Records, Hollow Earth Radio, The New American Underground, and 106.5 KOWA-FM. He is organizing a benefit brunch at Media Island on Sunday July 7 11 am - 2 pm. For more information contact Matt Fu at Olympia’s nonprofit organization
