DENVER—As President Trump pushes for a Christmas shutdown of the federal government, the Interior Department intends to keep America’s national parks open to the public, while closing many critical visitor centers and facilities. The Center for Western Priorities issued the following statement from Executive Director Jennifer Rokala:
“Secretary Zinke should not let one of his final acts be a short-sighted and irresponsible stunt to leave America's national parks open but unstaffed. Zinke should have learned from the last time he did this, when people were able to walk into our parks and break laws intended to protect our national treasures. He has one last chance to do the right thing for America’s public lands—we hope he makes a good decision.”
In January 2018, Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke left many national parks open to the public which resulted in a number of avoidable events including a poacher killing a pregnant elk in Zion National Park, snowmobilers riding into a restricted area in Yellowstone National Park, and visitors with metal detectors and a drone entered Gettysburg National Military Park.

MEMBERS OF COPELAND, THE DEAR HUNTER, GOOD OLD WAR, ALL GET OUT, DANCE GAVIN DANCE AND MORE CONTRIBUTE VOICES TO THE JON HILL PROJECT
REBIRTH OUT JANUARY 11
HEAR NEW SONG AND CHECK OUT THE LYRIC VIDEO FOR
"SAME OLD SONG" FEAT. TILIAN PEARSON OF DANCE
GAVIN DANCE
"The overall tone of inner-restoration after personal destruction flows perfectly well with the
swelling and ambient music; creating an extremely enticing piece that is
emotionally thrilling from start to finish." -KILL YOUR STEREO
DECEMBER 20, 2018 - Today, fans can listen to "Same Old Song" featuring Tilian Pearson of Dance Gavin Dance over on the Alternative Press official Facebook page. The song is taken from Rebirth, the upcoming album from The Jon Hill Project. Stream it here: https://bit.ly/2ScTohP
The Jon Hill Project comes from the mind of percussionist and songwriter Jon Hill. In 2016, Jon joined forces with Spencer Bradham, in-demand producer & lead songwriter, as well as Spencer Gill, songwriter & guitarist from Tides of Man, to develop the album Rebirth, which touches upon his struggle with addiction, the end of his nine-year marriage to make-up artist, Jaclyn Hill, and his hope for a new chance at life.
The trio of songwriters handpicked eleven highly esteemed front man legends who helped pave the way in post-rock, indie and alternative to lyrically and melodically communicate Jon's sentiments of both pain and hope: Aaron Marsh from Copeland, Brennan Taulbee from Polyenso, Nate Barcalow from Finch, Tilian Pearson from Dance Gavin Dance, Donovan Melero from Hail the Sun, Keith Goodwin from Good Old War, Kerry Courtney from Goodnight Neverland, Casey Crescenzo from The Dear Hunter, Michael McGough from Being as an Ocean, Tanner Merritt from O'Brother and Nathan Hussey from All Get Out.
The song "Would You Save Me Now feat. Aaron Marsh" of Copeland was released last month. Fans can listen and watch the music video, which details the dissolution of his marriage to Jaclyn with Substream Magazine here: https://substreammagazine.com/2018/11/exclusive-jon-hill-save-now-2018/
Pulling from his deeply seated struggle during the two years of writing this record, each song paints a new picture into Jon's soul that resonates with anyone who has ever come full circle in love and loss. In some songs, you can hear true anguish in his thunderous drumming sprinkled with the haunting melodies and pain driven vocals of guest singers. Yet, in others, you feel his sense of hope in his rhythmic brilliance intensified by endearing vocals and verses. Needless to say, the entire record is a playground of emotions that is full of powerful instrumentation, compelling but familiar voices and a look inside the mystery of Jon Hill's notorious, highly publicized life.
Rebirth will be released on January 11, 2019.
