'PENINSULA CITIZENS FOR THE PROTECTION OF WHALES' BRING NEAH BAY TRAFFIC TO
A SCREECHING HALT

While anti-whaling protestors frustrated Makah whalers on the water, the
PCPW held a protest on land, car caravaning to the Makah Nation boundary
from Sekiu.

Reports are just coming in from that action: Chuck Owens reports that
anti-whaling protestors succeeded in blockading Highway 112 at the
reservation boundary, creating substantial traffic jams in both directions.
Two protestors were arrested and one detained for blocking the road, but
were quickly released by the Clallam County Sheriff's Department. Washington
Highway Patrol officers were also present.

Perhaps the most humorous moment of the day came as a result of this action-
A Makah tribal member was arrested for DUI this afternoon while the blockade
was in place. He was handed over to the Makah Tribal Police by county
law-enforcement officers.

The PCPW will be holding another protest tomorrow. They are asking ALL those
opposed to the Makah whale hunt to meet them at Olson's Resort in Sekiu at
1:00pm for another car caravan. Please attend if you can!
