Briefing, reception, and parking for Mount Rainier employees

This update for "Current Mount Rainier Employees" is on the Mount Rainier Employee blog:

Prior to Margaret's memorial service there will be a special briefing for Mount Rainier National Park employees and their immediate families at 12 noon. This briefing is for current employees only. The 12 noon briefing will take place at the Memorial Gym (close to the Olson Auditorium where the service will take place). The doors to that facility should be open by 11:00am.

Following the memorial service all National Park Service employees, past MORA seasonals, and current MORA volunteers are invited to a reception in the Norwegian Heritage Center.

I realize that first paragraph is a bit ambiguous with respect to volunteers. I'll try to get some clarification tomorrow. Also:

We are highly encouraging everyone to carpool to the memorial service on Tuesday. Parking is going to be tight. Mount Rainier National Park employees are to park in the Ivy parking lot at PLU.

A campus map can be found here online or here in PDF format. The Ivy lot is bottom center in both maps, just east of the track and tennis courts.

Ranger Margaret Anderson Memorial Procession

January 9 update: THIS ROUTE HAS BEEN CHANGED. Click here for the update.

For those wish to watch the procession for Margaret Anderson on Tuesday, it will begin at the Lakewood Fire Station 21 at 9:30 a.m. and proceed to Pacific Lutheran University, arriving about 10:00 a.m. Here is the route:

Details on when and where employees attending the Memorial should gather, including volunteers, will be released shortly -- hopefully tomorrow (Sunday). I'm taking my first day off tomorrow since the incident, but if I hear word, I'll post it here -- otherwise, look for it Monday morning. You can also keep an eye on the employee blog at MORAemployees.blogspot.com.

Please also remember to RSVP to MountRainierInfo@gmail.com if you plan to attend the service, so that we can be sure to set aside enough chairs. If you've already responded to my work e-mail address, I've forwarded those responses to the planning team.

"Mount Rainier reopens after fatal ranger shooting"

From MyNorthwest.com:

"Rangers and volunteers somberly embraced as Mount Rainier National Park reopened to the public Saturday.... 'This is a place to come to be happy,' Allan Evans, a park volunteer from Graham, Wash., said after hugging a ranger who was on duty when Anderson was killed. 'This is what this park is about. This is the first stop to trying to get everything as whole as can be.'"

Nicely said.

Plans set for Margaret Anderson's Memorial Service

At 1:00pm on Tuesday, January 10, dozens of Mount Rainier National Park employees, volunteers, and family members will gather at Olson Auditorium at Pacific Lutheran University to honor the life of their friend and colleague, Margaret Anderson. An Incident Management Team has been working hard this week to choose and prepare this venue for the thousands of people from other agencies and the public who are expected to attend, and it seems like there are at least a dozen issues to solve for each of those thousands of guests. More questions are resolved every day. Here is what we know so far, and what we don't yet but hope to pass on to you soon:

Where, when, and whom
The public service will begin at 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, January 10, 2012 in Olson Auditorium at Pacific Lutheran University. The auditorium holds about 3,000 people and we expect more than that, so there will be "overflows to our overflows," in the words of our team leader. We will not limit attendance; it is "come one, come all."

Representatives from dozens of agencies will be present, including, of course, the National Park Service and Mount Rainier National Park in particular. All employees, including volunteers, who wish to attend are encouraged to do so.

Should I RSVP?
Employees should RSVP through their supervisor so that we know how many seats to reserve. Volunteers should RSVP by e-mail either to Volunteer Program Manager Kevin Bacher or to the e-mail address that has been set up for this incident, MountRainierInfo@gmail.com. Let us know, too, if you'll be accompanied by a spouse or partner.

The Uniform of the Day
Our goal is to have as many employees in uniform as possible, to honor Margaret. Here are the protocols for various types of employees, including volunteers:

• Uniformed Employees: The uniform of the day will be the winter service dress uniform (“Class A”) and felt hat, including dress coat (Ike jacket) and tie if available. Employees who do not have a complete Class A uniform may wear their nicest winter uniform. If a uniform is being worn, do not wear any non-uniform items, i.e. blue jeans with park shirt, non uniform hat, belts, shoes, etc.
   
• Non-Uniformed Employees: Please wear nice formal clothing, just as you would for any similar event. If you own a nametag, please wear it.
   
• Volunteers: Volunteers may wear their normal standard VIP uniform. If you have a nametag, please wear it.
   
• Seasonal employees not currently working: Please wear a complete winter uniform including nametag and felt hat, even if you do not have a badge. If you do not own a winter uniform, please wear a complete summer uniform including nametag and straw hat.

How can I help?

We are looking for individuals who are willing to help with a long list of tasks ranging from picking people up at the airport to serving as ushers. Most tasks will still allow for attendance at the Memorial Service if you choose to do so. If you'd like to help, please call 360-569-6515 or -6701 and leave your name and contact information. Identify yourself as an employee or volunteer, and indicate whether you have an NPS or volunteer uniform to wear. Certain jobs, but not all, will be given in preference to those wearing NPS uniforms. We'll pass your offer of help to those who are planning the Memorial Service.

Will the Memorial be televised?

Yes, but the details are still being worked out. We're also trying to arrange for a live "Telnet" broadcast for those in other national parks around the country who are interested in watching.

Will the park remain open?

Yes, at least as far as Longmire. Assistance has been requested from other National Parks to keep open the entrance station, Longmire Museum, park roads, and other services. If you're already a volunteer and would like to help, please contact your regular supervisor to make the offer.

Will employees and volunteers have preferential seating?
Yes, but the details of who will sit where are still being worked out. I'll pass them on as soon as they're available. Please RSVP, as described above, so that we know how many seats to reserve.

Where and when should we show up?
Those details are still being worked out. However, expect to be asked to arrive well in advance of the 1:00 ceremony, in order to receive instructions on where to sit and how to participate in the service.

What will the ceremony include?
Those details are still being planned. The ceremony will follow traditions long established for honoring law enforcement officers who have fallen in the line of duty, but will also include elements that honor Margaret's life and the things that were important to her, including her faith.

I've heard you're looking for photographs?
That's true. We're looking for photos to include in a slide show about Margaret during the service. If you have images to contribute, please send them, as soon as possible, to MountRainierInfo@gmail.com.

What route will the procession follow, and who will be included?
The procession will begin at Mountain View Funeral Home in Lakewood and end at PLU; however, the route and nature of the entourage are still being planned.

Where can I get more information?

Park to reopen with major assistance of volunteers

With our full-time staff still grieving the loss of our friend and colleague Margaret Anderson, we will lean heavily on both volunteers and NPS employees detailed temporarily from other national parks. You'll see a lot of volunteer uniforms at the Jackson Visitor Center and out on the trails. Please thank them for their service if you encounter them, and thank you for your service if you're one of them.

Events have moved rapidly this week, though it hasn't always seemed so from the outside. It's taken a while to nail down the details of our reopening plan, and for the Memorial Service next Tuesday, simply because there are an extraordinary number of details to resolve. For the reopening, at least, we're ready, and for the Memorial, we will be soon. Here's a complete summary of what to expect tomorrow; I'll post details about the Memorial next:

Reopening
The park will reopen officially at 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, Saturday January 7.

Visitor Services
All services that visitors could normally expect in the park, with the exception of the sledding hill (AKA "snow play"), will be up and running. The Longmire Museum and Jackson Visitor Center will have normal hours of operation, the National Park Inn will reopen, the gift shop and snack bar at the visitor center will be operational, and public snowshoe walks will go out as usual. The sledding hill will remain closed because we don't have enough staff back on duty to groom it and keep it safe.

Memorial Sites
The makeshift memorial of flowers and candles at the Nisqually Entrance will remain, and people who wish to do so may drop tokens of sympathy off there. However, to prevent a bottleneck at the entrance station, we will encourage visitors to bring items further into the park, to either the porch of the Wilderness Information Center (WIC) at Longmire (the large historic "Administration Building" behind the flagpole, across the road from the Longmire Museum); or to the Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise. All three locations, as well as the National Park Inn, will also have a poster board with photos and text about Margaret.

News Media
Local media are expected (and welcome) at our reopening. We will have Public Information Officers (PIOs) at the park entrance, at Longmire, and at Paradise. Employees and volunteers who are contacted by reporters are welcome to speak to them if they feel comfortable doing so, or to politely decline and refer the reporters to one of our PIOs if they do not, or if they get any questions they can't answer.

Volunteers
Volunteers who would be coming up to the park to work anyway are encouraged to continue doing so. Because the coordinator of our Nordic Patrol is currently unavailable, that program is temporarily suspended, at least officially, for this weekend; however, "snow rovers" are welcome to don their volunteer uniforms and come up to help. Please check in at the Longmire Museum at 8:45 a.m. for a special briefing on what to expect and how to answer questions about Margaret.

Thank you all, and have a safe and happy day on The Mountain.

RIP Margaret Anderson

As all of you will understand, the past week has been insanely hectic.

I fell behind on this blog during the month of December, working hard to meet deadlines for writing grant proposals that were due mid-month. After that, I took a wonderful two weeks off with my family.

On the morning of New Year's Day, one of our law enforcement rangers, Margaret Anderson, someone many of our volunteers know well as a colleague, was murdered during a traffic stop near Paradise. Other rangers were shot at and narrowly escaped injury and death. The gunman fled, armed, on foot through the snow. The Jackson Visitor Center at Paradise was locked down, and 125 visitors plus more than a dozen NPS and Guest Services employees, including three volunteers, were essentially trapped for 15 hours until they were able to be evacuated under cover of darkness in the middle of the night. The park was closed to the public. A massive manhunt began, involving multiple agencies including the Pierce County Sheriff's department, FBI, Washington State Patrol, US Forest Service, and several others--more than 200 people all told. About 24 hours after the shooting, the body of the shooter was discovered facedown in the Paradise River above Narada Falls.

As of this writing, the park is still closed, and will not reopen until Saturday, January 7. Park staff are devastated by Margaret's death, and it will take time to rebuild enough law enforcement, visitor center, general maintenance, and snow plow staff to reopen. Three national-level NPS teams are on hand to help out.

A memorial service will be held for Margaret on Tuesday the 10th at Pacific Lutheran University. A candlelight vigil is being organized by community members at the Eatonville Early Learning Center at 5:00pm on Sunday the 8th. Our public information teams are busy making sure that a significant amount of the media focus is on Margaret and her family, with tributes to her character and heroism, and her passions for service, the natural world, and Mount Rainier.

All of this is preamble to say that volunteers have played, and will continue to play, a vital role in this incident and its aftermath.

Volunteer Ed Hunds stands watch at the JVC.

On a typical weekend, volunteers are an important part of our team at Paradise. On New Year's Day, volunteer Ed Hunds was working at the Jackson Visitor Center, and Jim and Carol Miltimore were patroling trails. When the visitor center went into lockdown, Ed and Carol helped coral visitors and keep them occupied. They helped other staff members with Junior Ranger programs and kept people informed as best they could. Jim headed up the mountain to round up people who were out skiing and snowshoeing. They shared a traumatic experience with their NPS colleagues and with total strangers.

The manhunt and aftermath have not involved many volunteers per se, mostly because such an intense operation tends to rely primarily on those who are most deeply embedded in the agency and therefore already have the resources and connections necessary to act. The Incident Management Team is highly trained and, frankly, amazing in their ability to step in and work with a grieving family, arrange law enforcement honors for Margaret's body, arrange a memorial service for several thousand people, and other otherwise-impossible tasks.

Volunteer John McCarthy tells visitors at the Nisqually
Entrance that the park is closed.

This is not to say that volunteers have been forgotten -- far from it. Volunteers have been and continue to be welcome at the daily staff briefings at 9am at the Education Center. Resources for park staff are also available to volunteers to help deal with the trauma of this event. Volunteers are at the forefront of discussions about employees to include in the memorial service, and details about their role will be forthcoming on this blog site and by other methods. And volunteers will play a role in the park's reopening. Volunteers will help staff visitor centers and, as we get back up to speed, resume regular services like ski patrol.

This is a time when a member of our National Park Service family has been claimed by the most brutal and unfair violence. Our NPS family includes many, many volunteers, and I want to make sure all of you know that you're considered part of us. The best way to honor Margaret and her passion for Mount Rainier is to restore the Mountain to its proper role as a place of refuge and strength, both for the larger community and for us.

We will never be the same. Margaret will always be part of our history. But we can heal, with time, and our Mountain can help. Thank you all for your role.

Adendum (January 6, 2012):

Since this entry was written, I've learned of several other volunteers who were in the park on New Year's day. These include Bill Marsh, who sprang into action rounding up spplies for law enforcement officers and served as a liason for emergency and law enforcement vehicles from other agencies arriving in the park. Carol Berry assisted visitors at Longmire who were turned around by the incident. And Evan Escamilla, whose name many of you will recognize as our 2010 summer Volunteer Coordinator, assisted at the Jackson Visitor Center after he and a friend had spent New Year's Eve at Camp Muir. Thank you to all who helped out.

New webcam at Longmire!

At long last, our webcam at Longmire has gone live! We now have six webcams at Paradise, for goodness sake, and a summer webcam at Camp Muir, so it was high time we got one at Longmire. The camera is located in the conference room on the second floor of our administration building, just two doors down from my office, so you can now see roughly the same view I have out my office window, looking across the grounds to the Longmire Museum and the road leading up from the Nisqually Entrance, with the National Park Inn hidden behind the trees in the distance. Watch for school groups gathering at the beginning of the Trail of the Shadows. In the summer, look for shuttle buses arriving to take visitors up to Paradise. This time of year, you might see people building snowmen in front of the administration building. Enjoy the show!

The above is Longmire. Here, just for comparison, is the view from the visitor center at Paradise:

And from Camp Muir (don't expect anyone to go up and defog the camera lens until spring):



Snow Rover training scheduled

From West District Interpreter Lee Snook:

Winter is on its way -- or is it here?! There are already several inches of snow on the ground at Longmire. As the fall colors give way to the white of snow some think it’s time to hang up the boots and wait for melt out next year, but many of you know this is when the fun really begins. The winter wonderland of Paradise opens a whole new set of recreational opportunities and special ways to explore the mountain. This means we still need volunteer rovers! With the ever-changing weather conditions in the winter, having rovers on the trails talking to visitors, answering questions and providing staff with trail updates is just as important as having them out there in the summer.

Snow Rovers assist in a variety of ways. Besides making contacts with visitors and assessing conditions, rovers can also help by resetting wands on marked trails, check in with winter campers, assist with snowshoe programs and snow play, relay information about wildlife, as well as staff the visitor center desk.

If you love snowshoeing or skiing or you just love being on the mountain and want to help out, we will be holding a Snow Rover training on December 10th at the Longmire Community building. Training will include how to snow rove safely as well as Leave No Trace principles. We will send out the day’s agenda by early December. Please RSVP to the email below.

If you have questions feel free to email the rover coordinators Curt Jacquot and Bill Marsh at MORA_Meadow_Rovers@nps.gov.

Volunteer Opportunities for 2012!

I've just completed an exhaustive review and update of our complete listing of volunteer opportunities. Follow the link at the top of the page for the very latest information on our plans for volunteer day-projects, long-term volunteer opportunities, and full-time positions and internships. Opportunities exist for both individuals and groups. With a few exceptions (e.g. Campground Hosts), most are not yet hiring for next summer, and many have not even advertised their positions yet, or decided whether they will have the resources to do so. But this will give you a good guide to what positions we've hired in the past, and what we might anticipate hiring in the future.

It's never too soon to inquire about volunteer opportunities, so browse through the list, find something that touches your interests, and follow the directions to either apply or contact the appropriate supervisor to express your interest! You can also follow this blog, our Twitter feed, or our Facebook page, or contact me, Volunteer Program Manager Kevin Bacher, and ask to be added to our mailing list for updates monthly during the summer and intermittently through the winter.

Speaking of winter: One of the most common questions asked of me this time of year is, how can I volunteer during the winter? The truth is, not many opportunities are available when trails and plants are buried by snow--that is, from November through May or June in most parts of the park. But options are available:

• Nordic Patrol. We work in partnership with the Washington Ski Touring Club to provide ski patrol services at Paradise, including marking trail routes and assisting visitors. This requires a very dedicated and spirited kind of volunteer, but those who contribute provide an invaluable service. People interested in this opportunity should contact WSTC directly at http://www.wstc.org/, as we work with the group, not with individuals. If you have questions about ski patrol at Mount Rainier, contact Daniel Camiccia at 360-569-6652.
   
• Visitor center and snowshoe walks. Most of the work in our visitor centers, and on the trails leading snowshoe walks, is done by our permanent and seasonal staff. However, there are always busy times like the Christmas holidays when we're short staffed and welcome the help of volunteers. Anyone interested in these opportunities should contact us well in advance of the winter season so that they can participate in our winter seasonal training in early December. In other words, if you're interested this year, now is the time to contact our West District Interpreter, Lee Snook, to express your interest. Her number is 360-569-6576.
   
• Greenhouse assistance. Our greenhouse is active throughout the slow months, and we're always open to working with volunteers who are willing to commit to coming out on a regular basis to help us weed, pot, and care for our plants, most of which will be used on revegetation projects during the summer. We especially need help in the spring as we're gearing up for the season. For more information, see our listing on volunteer.gov, or contact Josh Drown at 360-569-6766.
   
• Curatorial library. Brooke Childrey, our museum curator, works with many volunteers to sort and store our archives, photos, and historic artifacts collections. Our full-time curator positions are filled for this winter already, but there may still be possibilities for the right person to help with special projects on an intermittent basis. Call Brooke at 360-569-6784.
   
• Education program. Our curriculum-based education program works with many school groups in the spring and fall, and also has a number of curriculum-development projects underway. We have a full staff on board for the winter, but individuals with education experience can often help out. For more information, contact Fawn Bauer at 360-569-6591.
   
• Lower elevation opportunities. While we're under heavy snow for half the year, many of our partners work at lower elevation under the snowline. Consider volunteering with them through the winter! The Washington Trails Association, for example, has a long list of volunteer projects. Olympic National Park has land as low as sea level, and their annual Coast Cleanup is legendary. Check out the website of Washington's National Park Fund and the National Parks Conservation Association to learn about opportunities to contribute financially or through advocacy. You can also find great opportunities throughout the region on the websites volunteer.gov/gov and serve.gov.

There are lots of ways to get involved in your public lands, any time of the year. Wherever you contribute, thanks for your time!

Annual Activity and Expense Report

Here, at last, are the statistics for this year's volunteer program. Total volunteers are 1,728, and volunteer hours are 74,504. This is 514 more hours than last year, and 288 fewer volunteers. Based on estimates of volunteer value from Independent Sector, our volunteer contribute roughly $1.6 million worth of service to Mount Rainier National Park.

The largest reductions in our numbers of volunteers were in the revegetation program, which had more than 300 fewer volunteers, and our WTA partnership, which lagged behind last year's record numbers by about 80 people (but still contributed 448). The reveg numbers were down due to a few large school groups not returning this year. Not sure if this is because these schools are taking fewer field trips in general, or because our Sunrise reveg site is much less convenient than the one at Paradise had been -- I suspect more of the latter than the former.

The reductions were partially made up for by increases in other areas, including archeology, Meadow Rovers, Citizen Science, and Boy Scouts. More analysis to come!

Volunteer Program Highlight
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Our program continues to grow, with new projects taking the place of completed ones. The Glacier Basin Trail was rebuilt after 3 years of work. Our partnership with the Washington Trails Association brought in 448 people, many of whom are now regular volunteers. A hundred Boy Scouts worked on 3 days of projects in August. Scout participation was up in general, with troops helping with trails, revegetation, and citizen science. Park programs worked with youth interns from SCA, the Geologic Society, and The Evergreen State College to complete a transportation study, a historic architecture study, stream surveys, and a parkwide safety review. Thirty members of SCA's Community Program in Seattle helped with trail projects. Central Washington University contributed 2560 hours of archeology. This was also an opportunity for citizen science, as park visitors were invited to help on the dig site. Other citizen science volunteers surveyed amphibians and butterflies and led activities for Keep Wildlife Wild day. Our Meadow Rover program turned in record hours thanks to 2 full-time coordinators, despite a late spring meltout. Overall, volunteer hours were up, but volunteer numbers were down. The largest single reason was a reduction of more than 300 participants in our revegetation program, due to the completion of an easily accessible project at Paradise that had previously brought in large numbers of school volunteers. The new work site, at Sunrise, is much more remote.
