COMMENTARY
Tom Daschle should learn
logical forest management
Senate Majority Leader Tom
Daschle’s, D-S.D., sneak attach
ment —to a critical funding bill
—exempting South Dakota’s forest
lands from all environmental regu
lation and lawsuits reveals much
more than home state pork for a sen
ator in power.
Daschle’s statement that logging
is “the fastest and most effective
way to get the forest thinned” and
therefore hold forest fire danger to a
minimum is the most dramatic
high-level acknowledgment to date
that the environmental extremists’
“no harvest” positions are just not
logical forest management. (See
Washington Times article at
http://www. washtimes.com/na

Guest Commentary

est fire is the most environmentally
destructive event known. Not only
are plant and animal life and fish
habitats completely destroyed, but
the soil organic matter and structure
are destroyed—leaving the bare soil
to erode and choke waterways.
According to a July 22 Washing
ton Times story, forest fires this
summer have burned 3.5 million,
acres of forests to date. This equals
a stretch of forest nearly 20 miles
wide clear across Oregon from
north to south, and the most de
structive fires may yet be on the
way. Some of the largest were
caused by human carelessness, but
most are caused by lightning.
While dry weather and lightning
are not subject to control, common
sense forest management practiced
by private timber and logging com
panies in the past kept fire spread
limited. Now, because, in Oregon an
estimated 70 percent of the logging.
companies are out of business along
with their firefighting equipment
and experienced crews, and with
federal and state forest land manage
ment being restricted because of
faulty public environmental percep
tions, and with large areas of dead,
unharvested beetle-killed stands,
and reduction in access roads, Ore
gon is truly susceptible to a cata
strophic fire season.
Rep. J. D. Hayworth, R-Ariz.,
where more than 500,000 acres
have been destroyed by fire, is
quoted in this Washington Times
story as saying they are trying to re
bound from the worst fires in our
history. Hundreds of homes, thou
sands of lives shattered!
The price, unfortunately, is being
paid by Oregonians too. Sunday,
July 28, at Gold Beach, we could see
the ominous white vapor cloud ris
ing above the smoke from the Illinois
Valley fires approaching the town of
Agnes. A former U.S. Forest Service
firefighter told us there were no fire
fighters stationed—or available
—between the fires in Agnes and
Gold Beach. He was seriously con
cerned. An east wind already put
Brookings in smoke and soot.
If this summer’s fires and Sen.
Daschle’s unexpected common
sense response result in realistic
changes for all states in the endan
gered species act and a reduction in
faulty environmental hype, there
may yet be some long-term gain from
the fires, but what a price to pay!!!
Former State Rep. Liz VanLeeuwen served
for 18 years in the Oregon Legislature and
is running for U.S. Congress from Oregon’s
4th District, a seat currently held by Rep.
Peter DeFazio.
