out which puts forth several concerns about various
aspects of the Refuge and asks for input. It's possible
to request one of these from the Refuge, fill it out
and maile it in. they are due by Dec 5, so there is
still time for many of you who ar concerned about
the Refuge to make your druthers known.

Item 2: Capital Lake

Attention Olympia Area birders and concerned folks
tonight Thursday Nov. 20, 1997 there is a meeting
at the Olympia Center Room A at 6:30 PM to discuss
the options for Capital Lake--which go all the way
from status quo to removing the dike and letting the
entire lake area return to salt water estuary with
a meandering Deschutes River.
