Theft and vandalism losses
among western Washington
private forestland owners and
logging operators increased more
than sixfold from 1968 to 1974,
according to a survey by the
Washington Forest Protection
Association.
Robert P. Matthews, WFPA
director of forest protection, said
the total loss from stolen timber
and equipment plus vandalism
damage rose from an estimated $1
million in 1968 to about $6.7
million in 1974.

By CARMEN YATES
Harstine Island residents
joined the family in paying their
last respects and to bid a fond
adieu to a native son of the island
this past Monday at a memorial
service held at the Batstone
Funeral Home. Alvin Anderson,
in the short 60 years since he was
born here on the island, had
become a legend in his own time
and perhaps even a bit of an
island institution.
Alvin was one of four children
born to Emil and Sofia Anderson.
He had three sisters, Elizabeth
and Helen and the late Inga. He
also had one stepbrother, Carl
Mattus.
Thirty-five years ago Alvin
married Phyllis (Peggy) Scott and
their first child was born dead in
1941. He was buried at the
Harstine Cemetery.
Basically, Alvin made his
living as a self-employed logger. In
late 1960 Alvin and Peggy f'ded
their first plat known as Island
Shores, the second major
development here on the island.
(Three years earlier Harry Craft
had begun the island's first
development at the
Hole-in-the-Wall). With Alvin's
project, islanders were learning
the meaning of a new term that
was to spring up all over this area.
In 1961 Peggy and Alvin
celebrated the birth of their
second child, also a son, whom
they named Mark.
In the mid:sixties the
Andersons purchased a home in
Santa Barbara, California 'where
they spent the winter months and
where Mark also attended school.
Just last year the family
purchased an apartment in
Honolulu, Hawaii, where Mark
attended school.
Besides being somewhat of a
"land baron" here on the island,
Alvin had a green thumb, Flowers
simply responded to Alvin's
touch, much the same as a magic
wand in the hands of a fairy.
In these past few days since
his death August 22, a large
number of residents who have
moved here in the past few years
have remarked, "I never met
Alvin, but I sure felt I almost
knew him, from all I've heard
about him over the years."
Following the memorial
service in Shelton Monday there
was a brief graveside service at the
Harstine Cemetery where he was
laid to rest next to his first son.
A little over a week ago Andy
Glaser and his wife Charlie arrived
here with a truck and trailer laden
with their possessions. Prior to
their arrival, a huge new mobile
home had been set in place,
marking the establishment of
their new home-to.be later this
year. The couple will return to
California later this week for a
Burg ary
Vandalism
Intruder
Accounting for about 45
percent of the total 1974 losses
were thefts of cedar trees and
products, the survey showed. "It
appears the value of cedar
products has increased
sufficiently to motivate thieves
to unprecedented levels of
activity," Matthews said.
Lost profits from operational
interruptions due to theft or
vandalism of needed equipment
accounted for 31 percent of the
1974 loss. Other portions of last
year's total were: stolen

short time. However, the next
time they arrive on the island,
Charlie and Andy will be
permanent island residents.
One Harstine family
practically moved their whole
farm up to the Mason County
Fair recently. The Bob Ireland
family arrived on Thursday
evening preceding the opening of
the annual event with goats, pigs
and calves. The next day they
moved a trailer in for their own
accommodations for three days.
Much to their delight they
discovered their pigs had won top
honors - a purple ribbon.
Lee and Mary Campbell,
accompanied by their daughter
Polly and a friend, spent a week
and a half initiating their new
boat and themselves on a boating
vacation to the Canadian San
Juans. During the 10-12 days they
experienced a little bit of
everything: good weather, bad
weather, fog and even some
mechanical problems.

equipment, 12 percent;
vandalism, 1 1 percent; and
damage to recreational facilities,
one percent.
Besides the increased
incentive to steal cedar, Matthews
attributed the apparent upward
trend in theft and vandalism to
the vulnerability of "open gate
policies" among landowners,
inadequacies in the criminal
justice system in dealing with
offenders, and the lack of
coordinated effort among
forestland owners and operators
About the middle of the
month Darlene Klab and her two
little girls came from Renton to
visit her morn, Dossie McClain,
who resides in Sewardville here on
the island.
Darlene brought her own lawn
mower, with one good Samaritan
act in mind: to mow the
cemetery, which she did, making
it look so very neat.
Prior to a weekend camping
trip at Millersylvania Park with
other members of the family,
Darlene helped her room can a
winter supply of apricots.
August 15 five island gals
took Lila Peugh to Hood Canal to
celebrate her birthday. Enroute
home all stopped at Helen
Lammers' for cake and ice cream.
And last, but most certainly
not least, the Harstine
Community Club will be hosting

to control the problem.
Matthews noted the average
bid for cedar sold by the State
Department of Natural Resources
rose from about $24 per thousand
board feet in 1968 to about $112
in 1974 - an increase of 366
percent. "This increase in value
has made it highly profitable for
thieves to concentrate on removal
of this species with some very
sophisticated methods in order to
avoid detection and
apprehension," he said.
The thievery often is
conducted in the dark of night,
with radio-equipped watchmen
stationed at strategic locations. A
fairly recent innovation is the use
of a helicopter to lift the illegally
processed cedar shake "bolts" to
a roadside for transport,
Matthews said. It isn't known
how many of the estimated 300
small shake mill operations on the
Olympia Peninsula are aware of
the source of their raw material,
he said.
"Legitimate mill operators are
desperately concerned about their
continued ability to compete in
the market with processors of
'free' raw material," Matthews
said. Typically, processors of
stolen cedar work on a "cash and
carry" basis where no record of
the transaction is kept.
Nearly two-thirds of the
survey respondents said the
overall theft and vandalism
problem is increasing, 36 percent
considered it static, and only two
percent said it is decreasing. The
culprits most often singled out
were local residents (30 percent
of losses); organized thieves (19
percent); recreational vehicle
operators (18 percent); and
hunters (14 percent).
Matthews said solutions to the
problem might include better
patrols of the more vulnerable
areas, improved law enforcement,
and other programs. The public
also can help by reporting
suspicious activities to the
landowner or local law
enforcement agency, he said.
