Update: From the Fort Collins Coloradoan (Bobby Magill):
The same day Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District officials said they wouldn’t print anymore “Save the Poudre, Store it in Glade” bumper stickers after environmentalists cried foul, Northern Water announced Friday that the Western Slope’s largest coalition of local governments, Club 20, threw its support behind Glade Reservoir.
From The Denver Post (Monte Whaley):
The Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District recently printed 500 bumper stickers that read: “Save the Poudre: Store it in Glade.” The bumper stickers were produced for about $2.50 each, paid for by the 15 cities and water districts funding the reservoir project, said district spokesman Brian Werner…
Waterkeeper Alliance sent a cease-and-desist letter Wednesday to the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District, saying “Save the Poudre” is a protected trade name. It was registered by Save the Poudre: Poudre Waterkeeper with the state and should not be used by the district, said Gary Wockner, director of Save the Poudre. “We’ve been using the name for four years on our website, press releases and printed literature. We’re the only ‘Save the Poudre’ in the world, and we’ve recently filed for service-mark protection with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office,” Wockner said. “That this public agency stole our name and is using it against us is reprehensible.”
