The Road Ahead: Bill Anthony reflects on the travails, triumphs and transformations of a Forest Service career

His departure marks the end of one of the more notable, and in some ways unlikely, forestry careers that saw Anthony transform the way people think about forestry with pioneering consensus-based projects that turned critics into collaborators and allies.
“He took the changing mission of the Forest Service to heart and is probably one of the most innovative and creative district rangers that I've ever met,” said Tim Lillebo, field organizer for Oregon Wild and a longtime forest activist in Central Oregon.

The Source Staff

I had a blast of a time chatting with Vancouver-area one-man rock band Tony Smiley for the feature we ran this week about his insane mastery of the loop pedals and am still wondering how the hell he makes the sounds he does.
Tonight, Smiley plays a free show (and it’s all ages, kids) at McMenamins Old St.
