Chip Ward
Keynote address
at the 2006
Gila River Festival
Chip Ward is not your average librarian nor the withdrawn bookish
type. He is, however, an author of note for two works...
Canaries on the Rim: Living Downwind in the West
Hope's Horizon: Three Visions for Healing the American Land
as well as the assistant director of the Salt Lake City Public Library
System.
Chip is also a political activist, though you may not think such a
creature could survive in the environment of America's Reddest
state. But if you haven't seen Mayor Rocky Anderson of Salt Lake
City on Democracy
Now! do so immediately to find out what you don't know about Utah and
it's progressive elements! Then proceed to see some of his other
writings and issues in the right sidebar.
This address was the keynote for the 2nd Annual Gila River Festival at
WNMU's Global Resource Center in Silver City, NM on Friday 12 May,
2006. The River Fest is a project of Gila
Conservation Coalition - a long standing champion of keeping the Gila
a free flowing natural river comprised of three local
activist and environmental groups...
