PR IN T IN G Gazette-Times 676-9228 Harvest For Whom? harvot:vt(15c) 1 a: to gather in (a crop): REAP b: to gather (a natural product) as if by harvesting. 2: to win by achievement [the team—ed several aw ards-vo to gather in a crop esp. for food- Harvest. A process that is turning out to be such an important part of a cou ple of environmental issues in the Pacific Northwest. By the time you read this, hearings will have opened before the “ God Squad’s’’ administrative law judge on the issue of harvest of some specific I By Ed Glenn tracts of old growth timber. Seems the BLM (an agency of the Department of Interior) wants to sell some timber and the Fish and Wildlife Service (an agency of the Department of Interior) wants to keep it standing to protect the habitat of the Spotted Owl. Both sides have their allies. The BLM is supported by the timber in dustry and the Fish and Wildlife are supported by groups of preserva tionists. The hearing is expected to go on for three weeks. Who knows how long it will be before there’s a decision? The second issue involves harvest in a little different way. The Nor thwest Power Planning Council plan is to reduce harvest of Columbia River salmon from 75% of the annual runs to 50%. The plan has its advocates who say the reduction is right on and its detractors who argue that a reduc tion in harvest is too harsh. (I wonder just what kind of stir a plan to harvest 50% of the Spotted Owls would create.) Again, both sides are aptly represented by protectors and harvesters. But in neither instance, harvest of timber or harvest of salmon, are the real parties in interest at the table. Harvest of nearly any crop whether it be timber, salmon, wheat or alfalfa is driven by a group conspicuously absent from the environmental talks. Take wheat, for example. For centuries the harvest, the need for it all, the extent of it, the planting for a new crop, has been to satisfy, not the harvester, but the people who eat the bread it makes. Its people, people who use the harvested crop, for whom it is even necessary. People do not eat Spotted Owls, nor use them in any other valuable way. That’s why there is no owl harvest. But people do use lumber. Mostly to build homes. Those homes that we now build cost an average of $100,000. No wonder there is a growing number of homeless. Shouldn’t the young people who will be in line to buy a home in the near future be at the table? Or should we just let the bird lovers and the loggers decide their future for them? The present battle is between the in trinsic value of an endangered species and an occupational group. Work ing folks might be retained to work somewhere else. But where else will future generations of Americans live? The choices are few. Steel, con crete and glass condos or tents of cardboard on some back street. It is not merely a matter of an obscure species of bird that is endangered. It is a matter of the American dream of a little cottage with a white picket fence where a family can live and grow and enjoy the freedom of being an American. And where are the salmon consumers? Salmon is the American equivalent of Russian caviar and may well be limited to the diet of royalty. Again, the American dream of serving salmon to diiuiei guests once in a while is at risk. Shouldn’t consumers be at the table? What is at play is a human failing. Most of us, at one time or another, are certain that we know what’s best for other people and we simply fail to consult them. Perhaps we should be a little more concerned with what our neighbors want than we are with what we think is good for them.

Loving and be ing loved makes us all happy and connects us to all that is good in the human spirit. I am hoping that this message is being shared with each person in our vast area, for we have in front of us a great need in our community. The Pioneer M emorial Hospital Auxiliary is struggling to be reestablished. This group has been of a great benefit in aiding in the well being of our elderly and a very needed and vital part of our community. By looking beyond ourselves we tru ly find peace and love. With an adequate volunteer group no one will be overwhelmed and yet many who are unable to help themselves and must count on the compassion of others will be helped. A gift of time is a gift of love. I know we have many car ing people in our community and by joining together to help in the hospital auxiliary, we would all feel the blessings, especially the elderly in our community. The auxiliary plans for a meeting January 9 at 7 p.m. at Kate’s Pizza. I truly hope that you will realize how you are needed, and we can combine our talents and abilities to benefit all.
