Tahuya landowner sheds
light on 'civil forfeiture'
Editor, Belfair Herald:
You don't need to be in Mason
County very long to realize it has
only one major resource: the nat-
ural environment. As if in com-
pensation, we have one of the best
places on earth to live. Almost all
of the world's peoples live in mis-
erable circumstances compared
with us. And yet almost every is-
sue of the paper has a letter from
someone who wants to ruin this
land.
Many of these writers seem to
think the government can't take
your land without just compensa-
tion, but a new type of law called
"civil forfeiture" has proven the
government can do just that. The
government has never demon-
strated that the free cultivation
and use of marijuana would be
harmful to anyone, but your land
and possessions can be seized
even if you are never charged
with a crime. In a notable case in
Los Angeles the police used tax
records to decide which valuable
property they wished to seize and
killed the homeowner as he react-
ed to their midnight invasion
with alarm (no illegal drugs were
found). These laws have neer
been successfully challenged in
court, so our local refuseniks
might well feel grateful for the
due process that has been provid-
ed them, especially considering
the role of favorite son Brad
*wen in getting these laws
passed!
However, these environmental
regulations do not take anyone's
property. They regulate the use of
property and the government can
certainly do that, even if the use
does not harm others directly. In
actuality discharging pollutants
into a waterway is about the
same as pointing a rifle and firing
it. Eventually someone down-
stream is going to get hurt and
we as a society have a right to
regulate these behaviors.
The next claim of the refusenik
is that doubling the population in
Puget Sound, logging half the for-
ests, and building the power
dams had no effect on the salmon
run - the problem, to hear them
tell it, is overfishing! Sometimes I
wonder what part of Iowa they
came from. Salmon fishing in this
state has been regulated since the
days of the fishwheels, and the
salmon fisherman has spent most
of the year at the dock during my
lifetime, which is more than a few
years. Regulating the fishermen
did not save the salmon because
the streams needed for spawning
were being destroyed by logging,
powerdams, and suburban home-
building. There is nothing inno-
cent or harmless about the desire
of Mr. Refusenik to subdivide his
property and build more power-
consuming homes or polluting
businesses.
When I was a boy Bellevue was
the size of Belfair. A few people
made huge profits by wild devel-
opment. If they had invested
these profits in local industries
we could all have good jobs and
pay for the foods we now have to
import from great distances. That
didn't happen and we're paying
for the damage they profited
from. Unlike Social Security,
which would be solvent if Con-
gress hadn't spent the money on
bombs and guns, development in
this region really is a Ponzi
scheme. We all look at our mort-
gage payments and figure that if
the population doubles we'll be
doing just fine. It won't work for-
ever.
As a landowner on the Tahuya
I respect the river's right to grow
big in the winter, and I don't
want poisons from upstream flow-
ing over my land when it does. As
far as I'm concerned those dope-
hunting helicopters could look for
any code violation on the river as
well, and send in the police when
they find a problem. If you're not
doing anything wrong you'll have
nothing to fear.

Hopes salmon are never extinct
Editor, Belfair Herald:
On January 18, the salmon in
our stream all died! It happened
because the weather has been
pretty rainy lately. The rain came
down and dirt went into Sweet-
water Creek. Then silt got clogged
up in the pipe that blocked the
oxygen going into the incubator.
The salmon died. It's sad because
our school tries to keep salmon
from being extinct. But so many
things can happen along the way.
In my class, Mrs. Wilcox's class,
we study a lot about salmon. We
hope that salmon are never ex-
tinct. At least not for a long time!
