Sutherlin

By: Tricia Dias,Sutherlin 100 Committee,Douglas County Museum

Originally called Camas Swale, Sutherlin was incorporated on June 24, 1911, and renamed for Fendel Sutherlin at the behest of his daughter, Anne Sutherlin Waite. What started as an agricultural community of orchard homesites later transitioned into a timber boomtown during World War II. Although the Sutherlin valley had its share of visionaries, most of its people were basic, hardworking folks who persevered despite the roadblocks in their way. They survived floods, fires, destruction of the timber industry by the spotted owl conflict, wholesale unemployment, and the 1989 shutdown of the city for lack of funds. Todays residents are also hardy people, even the newer senior citizens who, in great numbers, are making the town their retirement home.

Playing with Fire

The Strange Case of Marine Shale Processors

By: John W. Sutherlin,Daniel Elliot Gonzalez

Playing with Fire chronicles the ongoing struggle facing Louisiana families trying to live and work against the backdrop of corrupt politicians and corporate greed. However, the story presented here is relevant wherever low-income, disenfranchised people are not included in decisions about their health and environment. This book examines the tale of Marine Shale Processors, the world’s largest hazardous waste company, and the women who fought to protect their community and their children. The lesson here is that a dedicated group of people fighting for what is right can win and it serves as an example for any community that wants to determine what their own environmental future. Playing with Fire is a well-documented account that provides lessons for communities, government agencies, and corporations. It dispels the narrative that low-income communities must settle for jobs at the expense of clean air and water and politicians and demonstrates that corporations that further trample on the rights of people will ultimately pay the price.

Garbage Gumbo

The Strange Case of the Belle Landfill

By: John W. Sutherlin

Garbage Gumbo is an account of what can go wrong when incompetence, corruption, and greed replace environmental protection. This is another example of what makes Louisiana politics so intriguing to some and disappointing to others.
