The chorus of environmental voices just got louder. Television channels, print and online magazines, and hundreds of web-logs mark the emergence of a new green media. Bearing names like 'Grist', 'Plenty', and 'TreeHugger', they are savvy and hip, and their voices project beyond the choir of green groupies to resonate among a growing audience.

'Pudgy,' as she was known among her fellow weight-lifting and physical fitness aficionados, passed away at the age of 88 on June 26th from complications from Alzheimer's Disease. She was the widow of Les Stockton, who died in April 2004.
The Stocktons met at what is known today as 'Muscle Beach' in Santa Monica. Pudge was pivotal in gaining approval for the idea that women could maintain their femininity while developing physical strength. She even wrote a column in Strength and Health Magazine-then the most popular fitness periodical in the world.

There's a special place in Southern California that most do not know exists. It's time to get introduced. Surprising to many, this unknown land was once the favored home of the California grizzly bear. Its old-growth forms represent one of the state's most priceless natural treasures. When John Muir discovered its beauty he wrote ' in the very heart of this thorny wilderness, down in the dells, you may find gardens filled with the fairest flowers, that any child would love.'
