Glacier Point Road Rehabilitation Project to Begin in Yosemite National
Park
Yosemite National Park will be reconstructing part of the Glacier Point
Road beginning this Monday, June 22, 2009.  Work will consist of the
rehabilitation, restoration, and resurfacing of the road, including
repaving and drainage improvements to include 5.1 miles of the road from
the Chinquapin intersection to Badger Pass Ski area.  Additionally, there
will be work on the Wawona Road (Hwy. 41) near the Chinquapin intersection.

This work will result in thirty-minute delays for park visitors.  The
traffic delays will occur weekdays (Monday through Friday) with one lane
traffic control.  Work will occur during daylight hours and night work will
begin on August 1.  Traffic will be stopped by flaggers and vehicles will
be released every thirty minutes.  Weekend construction will allow for two
lanes of unrestricted travel for park visitors.

Restroom facilities at the Chinquapin intersection will be closed.
Visitors are asked to use restrooms in Wawona, Yosemite Valley, and Glacier
Point.

The project will have a winter shutdown date as to not affect the operation
of the Badger Pass Ski Resort.  The project is slated to be completed on
May 27, 2010. -NPS- (K. Cobb - 6/18/09)

Yosemite News Release
May 8, 2009
For Immediate Release
Yosemite National Park Announces the availability of the Yosemite Institute
Environmental Education Campus Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS)
for Public Review

The Yosemite Institute (YI), a National Park Service (NPS) non-profit park
partner, has provided environmental education programs in Yosemite since
1971 at its Crane Flat campus. Most of the campus structures and utilities
are over 60 years old, energy inefficient, and difficult to retrofit to
achieve modern standards for health, safety, and accessibility. The campus
can accommodate only a fraction of the students in the program; the
remainder must be based elsewhere in the park, in commercial lodging. To
address these issues, YI and the NPS are considering options to provide
better facilities by redeveloping the existing campus, or constructing a
new campus at Henness Ridge, and restoring Crane Flat to natural
conditions.

The Draft Environmental Impact Statement presents the environmental
analysis of three alternatives the agency is considering, for public
review, according to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA, 1969, as
amended): Alternative 1—No-Action; Alternative 2—redevelop Crane Flat
campus; and Alternative 3—construct a new campus at Henness Ridge, and
restore Crane Flat. Potential impacts to park resources are presented and
analyzed under each alternative. Public comments are welcomed and will be
considered in preparation of a Final EIS, anticipated for this fall.

The public comment period for the YI Environmental Education Campus DEIS is
open now through July 15, 2009. The plan is available on the park's website
at http://www.nps.gov/yose/parkmgmt/eecampus.htm  Public meetings will be
held on May 28, 2009 at the Mariposa County Government Chambers from 4-7pm,
and at Fort Mason, Golden Gate NRA on June 17, 2009 from 4-8 pm.  Public
Open Houses will be held at the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center Auditorium,
with drop-in site visits at Crane Flat and Henness Ridge, on May 27 and
June 24, 2009, from 1-4 p.m. (call 209/379-1365 for details/directions).
Additional copies of the plan will be available, and park staff will be on
hand to discuss the plan and answer questions.

Written scoping comments should be postmarked no later than July 15, 2009.
Comments may be submitted at public meetings, by mail, fax, e-mail, and via
the Planning, Environment, and Public Comment (PEPC) database. Submit
written comments, or request a CD or hard copy of the DEIS, to the
following:

Yosemite Art Exhibit to Feature Diverse Works by Artists-in-Residence
A unique art exhibit is opening on June 20, 2009 at the Yosemite Museum
Gallery. The exhibit features work from seven professional artists, all
part of the Artists-in-Residence program. The program, established over 20
years ago, is coordinated by Yosemite Renaissance. Professional artists are
invited to live in Yosemite for one entire month which allows them to
immerse themselves in the park, visiting the spectacular expanse that is
Yosemite and capturing the hidden gems behind the traditional icons.

Art includes paintings, prints, drawings, fabric art and sculptures by John
Barnett, Jane Culp, Tom Killion, Bruce Klein, Hearne Pardee, Bonnie
Peterson and Gina Werfel.

An opening reception will be held from 5:30 to 7:00 PM on Friday, June 19
at the Yosemite Museum Gallery. The reception is open to the public.

This diverse exhibit continues through November 8. If you are visiting
Yosemite we encourage you to stop by the Yosemite Museum Gallery to see
these national artists’ interpretations of the beauty that is Yosemite.
Yosemite Museum Gallery is located just west of the Visitor Center.

Yosemite Renaissance, a non-profit corporation, encourages diverse
interpretations of Yosemite and the environment of the Sierra Nevada.  This
art exhibit helps bring together the works of serious contemporary artists
that do more than duplicate traditional representations.  A continuum with
past generations of Yosemite artists is created through the reestablishment
of the interpretation of the visual arts.  These visual arts are an
interpretive medium of the surrounding landscape and a stimulus to the
protection of the environment. -NPS-
Editors Note:  For more information about specific art on display, please
contact Robert Woolard, Director of Yosemite Renaissance at 209-372-4946.

How do you maintain your yard, conserve water, and help save our oak trees?
Per the "Yosemite Residential Yard Care Policy", occupants are responsible
for routine yard care including watering during the growing season.
Although grass is part of the cultural landscape, we ask that residents and
employees do not water near the trunks of California Black Oaks. Watering
oaks will cause root rot that slowly kills the tree.  Our oaks are an
important natural and cultural resource serving important ecological
functions as well as an traditional food source. To help save our oaks, do
not water within 5 feet for every 1 ft diameter of the trunk of an oak tree
or within the canopy of a black oak.  For additional information, please
contact the park botanist, park gardener, or Housing Management Office. (C.
Baker - 6/17/09)
*************************************************
The Property Management Office is again accepting property for disposition.
Please remember that a "Property Turn-in Sheet" (this is an updated
"Request for Survey" form) must be completed for every item turned in. If
you need a copy of this form, or have other questions regarding property
disposition, please call Don Ramsey @ 379-1024. If you have property you
are no longer using and do not need, we highly recommend that you turn it
in to the Property Office. Experience has shown that "stashed" property is
frequently forgotten and hard to find during inventory. Also, the park pays
an annual IT assessment for every computer and laptop; don't waste money by
keeping computer equipment you are not using. TURN IT IN!

Property management is once again accepting excess government property.
Property will be accepted by appointment only with Don Ramsey (379-1024)
Monday through Thursday.  Between the hours of 08:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Hazardous material will not be accepted.
Property must be clean.
Property with an acquisition cost of less than $300.00 that is scrap (has
no value) will not be accepted.  It should be recycled properly.
Informal property with an acquisition cost of greater than $300.00 must be
turned in.
All formal property must be turned in.
Formal property may not be cannibalized prior to turn in.
Property Turn-in Sheets must be filled out completely. (D. Ramsey/K.
Kolbeck - 6/15/09)
*************************************************
The time has come for another year's cycle of The Yosemite Fund's grant
proposal process!
The park benefits enormously from this partnership;  in fact, The Yosemite
Fund has donated over $40 million to Yosemite since 1988.  This process is
the mechanism by which Yosemite National Park requests funding from The
Yosemite Fund and its donors to further the park's mission and accomplish
important work for which other funding sources may not be available.  The
grants for approved proposals from this process will go into effect in
January 2010.

Anyone affiliated with Yosemite, including non-NPS employees such as a
concessioner, can submit a proposal, although it must be submitted through
a Division Chief.  The first deadline is several weeks away to allow for
collaboration in developing proposals.  Notifying and working with the
appropriate division chief well in advance of the deadline is strongly
encouraged.

Four files are necessary to guide you in this process.  The first is a
timeline and explanation of the steps from here.

The next is a copy of The Fund's "Guidelines for Project Selection."  These
newly revised guidelines and policies have two purposes:  to assist park
employees in preparing Fund project proposals, and to assist The Fund's
Project Review Committee in assessing those proposals for recommendation to
the Board of Trustees for funding.  Please utilize these guidelines when
writing your proposals as it will certainly make them stronger.

The last two files are the proposal and budget forms, which need to be
fully completed for each proposal.  The forms are very similar to last
year.  Please remember if you are submitting a multi-year proposal the
budget form must have a completed tab for each year.  Please utilize the
"sum" function built into the spreadsheets to tabulate totals rather than
adding the numbers yourself and typing the total in.  To check a box on the
Word form, right-click the box, select Properties, and select "checked."
If graphics or maps are available, it is recommended you include them with
the proposal - such visuals are helpful to the Project Review Committee in
evaluating the proposals.  Lastly, be sure to save a copy of both files
locally prior to submitting them to your division chief.  Last year, some
forms had to be re-typed because only hard copies were retained.

Proposals are due to Division Chiefs by July 6th, 2009.

To get these files, or if you have any questions in the meantime, please
contact Jennifer Treutelaar at 209-372-0238 or Jennifer_Treutelaar@nps.gov.
