In today's Fresno Bee there is an article under the headline: "Judge Halts Plans in Park -- Construction projects put on hold over fears about damaging Merced River."   It begins with these words:

  [ In a clear victory for environmentalists, a federal judge has stopped nine construction projects in Yosemite Valley - including the $35 million effort to rebuild Yosemite Lodge - to protect the Merced River.]

This is a clear victory for the Merced River, Yosemite Valley and for the people of this nation, but that's not what the National Park Service is saying. Here's how they are spinning their illegal actions:

 [ "It's sad that a few people are stopping the public from seeing improvements that will make Yosemite Valley a better place for the environment and visitors," spokesman Scott Gediman said. ]

I'd like to offer you the rest of the story and to set Scott Gediman straight.
Here is a link to a message I distributed EXACTLY five years ago to this very day. It's what Paul Harvey would call, "The Rest of the Story."
