Owyhee Initiative proposal nearing completionA proposal to resolve land use

conflicts in Owyhee County is nearingcompletion, according to Fred Grant,counsel and coordinator of the group.

The work group has been meetingto attempt to resolve the conflictsover management and designationsof use areas of federal lands withinthe county for over two years now,and it appears a solution is near.

The group, comprised of a dozenmembers representing a diversifiedcross-section of interests, rangingfrom enviromentalists, ranchers,sportsmen and recreationists, hasreached an unofficial draft ofsettlements, to which nine of the ten

voting members seem to agree.However, it’s still too early to say it’s a“done deal”, since membership has notformally endorsed it yet.

County officials formedthe group shortly afterPresident Bill Clinton leftoffice. The county escapedhaving millions of acreslocked up as wilderness byan-almost stroke of the pen. The papersauthorizing millions of acres aswilderness was on Clinton’s deskminutes before he left office, but wasnot signed. To keep the proposal frombeing made at some future date, thecommissioners took positive action to

reach some reasonable compromise andpresent it to congress. Hence theInitiative group was formed.

The goal of the OwyheeInitiative has been set as:

“To develop andimplement a landscape-scale program in OwyheeCounty that preserves thenatural processes that create

and maintain a functioningunfragmented landscape supporting andsustaining a flourishing community ofHuman, plant and animal life, thatprovides for economically stability bypreserving livestock grazing as aneconomically viable use, and that

provides for protection of culturalresources.”

The group is comprised of thefollowing: Cindy Bachman, rancher;Lou Lunte, Nature Conservancy; InezJaca, rancher; Crag Gehrke,Wilderness Society; Sandra Mitchell,Idaho Snowmobile Association;Grant Simonds, Idaho Outfitters andGuides; Roger Singer, Sierra Club;Ted Hoffman, Owyhee BorderlandsTrust; John McCarthy IdahoConservation League; Chad Gibson,Owyhee Cattlemen’s Association;Bruce Wong, U.S. Air Force; and as anon-voting member, Howard Hedrick,BLM.

The City of Homedale willbuild its new water reservoiron property located within thecity’s impact area, HomedaleCity Engineer and City PublicWorks Bob Walker told thecouncil last week.

“The good news on thereservoir is that in reviewingthe City of Homedale ImpactArea as defined by JudgeStephen Drescher on Oct. 9,1996, the new reservoir site iswithin the City’s area of impactand consequently site approvalis under the control of the city,”Walker told the council. “Eventhough this is under our control,I still recommend that we workwith the neighbors onlandscaping and color issues.We have not heard anything

Engineer reportson city water projects

from the neighbors or RickKushlan on this subject sincethe council meeting that wasattended by the neighbors inearly June.”

The old reservoir has beendecaying over the years andfrequently leaks. The city isfunding the project as part ofan EPA grant for all phases ofthe water system including thenew well in Canyon County.

The grant was approved for$456,989 and the city hasexceeded that amount with amatch of $473,500. HomedaleCity Clerk Pam Dugger saidbids for the reservoir would beannounced at the end ofAugust.

Walker continued to tell the

council that he met with theGem Irrigation District torequest approval fordischarging any emergencyoverflow from the newreservoir into the Patch Canal.He said the irrigation districtrejected the proposal.

“We will now have todischarge into Succor Creekand have a couple of optionsavailable to do this,” Walkertold the council. “The bestoption appears to be theutilization of an existing sixinch PVC pipe installed byMarion Vance from theintersection of State Highway19 and the Patch Canalsoutheasterly under thehighway to Succor Creek. Weshould know if this is feasibleby next week.”

Councilman reports on

courtroom remodelingHomedale Councilman Kevin Barlow told the council during

a meeting last month that the remodeling of the district courtroomin Homedale would cost approximately 35 to 40 thousanddollars in which the county planned to share half of the expensewith the city. But after last week’s council meeting, the city maybe half of its half short.

Barlow has been working with County Commissioner HalTolmie in the preliminary plans to remodel the courtroom, aneffort that has been in the works for several years.

In 2001, the county commissioners met with a member of thecity council and approved giving the city $15,000 for theremodel. It was stipulated at the time that the city would berequired to submit an itemized cost list to the commissionerswithin 120 days or the board would withdraw its offer. ThursdayCounty Clerk Charlotte Sherburn said nothing had ever beensubmitted. Sherburn said Friday that she could not find anyminutes that the commissioners had voted again to give the citymoney for the remodeling.

Tolmie and Barlow have been working together since April togather information on the cost of remodeling the courtroom andTolmie told the council that the county would pay of the cost forthe renovation but during last week’s council meeting, CityClerk Pam Dugger told the council that only $7,500 wastentatively budgeted for the 2003-2004 fiscal year to cover therenovation.

“With the agreed upon line item cuts, I was able to balance thefund with a $19,103 contingency, leave in the Marque at $4,000,set aside $7,500 toward the courtroom should you decide youwant to proceed, fund the library request for $6,000, parks for$18,000 and irrigation with $2,500,” Dugger told the councilWednesday. “All changes requested were made to the policedepartment. General fund is balanced with built in room foremergencies.”

Teen killed in ATV accidentA teenage girl from Omaha, Nebraska was killed in an ATV

accident on South Mountain Road near Jordan Valley Saturdayafternoon.

Megan Scott, 15, was a passenger on the ATV behind herfriend Melissa Mesenbrink, 16, also from Omaha who wasdriving the vehicle when the she took a corner too fast and lostcontrol of the vehicle. A spokesperson from the sheriff’s officesaid the call for help came in at approximately 12:58 p.m., butthe accident happened at about noon.

“The girls were apparently visiting Melissa’s father who livesin the area,” a dispatcher said Monday. “The vehicle went off ofthe road and flipped over in a creek. Megan was pinned under thevehicle.”

The dispatcher said Melissa walked nearly a quarter of a milebefore she could find someone to assist her and Megan.

“A man and a woman went back to the scene and JordanValley ambulance was dispatched to the scene,” the spokesmanexplained.

Coroner Harvey Grimme said neither girl was wearing ahelmet, adding that a helmet could have made the difference.

“She died from head injuries received from the accident,”Grimme said. “A helmet would have helped depending on thehelmet. If it was just a top helmet it would not have helped, butif she had been wearing a full helmet, I am sure it would havehelped.”

Melissa was treated for her injuries and released.

Joint Committee raises

irrigation allotmentsSouth Board of Control Manager Rex Barrie said

Wednesday that the Joint Committee for irrigation re-evaluated the reservoir storage levels and voted toincrease the irrigation allotment to 2.75-acre feet peracre.

In April, the committee allowed 1.3-acre feet peracre, but raised the allotment to 1.8 when the seasonbegan later in April. In May the committee again raisedthe allotment to 2.2-acre feet per acre.

Locator systemOwyhee County Chief Deputy Dick Freund shows how to make a poster on a missing child on

the county’s new Locator system recently added to the sheriff’s office. The program will allow lawenforcement officers to send posters to agencies throughout the nation.

Sharing information abouta missing or wanted personwill be a little easier in thefuture since a new “Locater”system was added to the countylaw enforcement office lastweek.

Locater, also known as the“Lost Child Alert TechnologyResource” is a template-basedsoftware application used toenable individual lawenforcement agencies toinstantly create many differenttypes of posters for immediatedistribution. It also allowsofficers to e-mail the posters toany law enforcement agencyin the world and to the NationalCenter for Missing andExploited Children.

Owyhee County SheriffGary Aman said the systemnearly needed to be used forthe first time over the 4th ofJuly weekend when a childreported that a man had tried toabduct her from the CJ Strikearea. The child was able toescape from the scene. Amansaid since adding the system to

Missing persons system added to sheriff’s officehis department, searching forlost or abducted children, oradults, will be easier.

“On Saturday we had a 12year old little girl walking tothe bathrooms near BlackSands at Strike and she said aman in a van told her to get inhis van,” Aman said. “She toldthem ‘no’ and started running.We sent out an attempt to locatethroughout the state of Idahoand several vehicles matchingthe description were stoppedbut no one stopped was foundto be the right person.”

Chief Deputy Dick Freund,who handles most of the childabduction cases for the county,said Monday that the systemwill be a huge help in cases onwhich he works.

The officer scans aphotograph of the missing orwanted person and develops aposter with information aboutthe person. The programautomatically sends a copy ofevery missing child poster tothe Missing ChildrenClearinghouse in the state. Theuser may then send the poster

to agencies he selects throughe-mail or to any receivable

device such as a pager orcellular phone. The receiving

agency can then download theposter and print it for their area.

Members of the MarsingCity Council will hold a townmeeting to give residents anopportunity to voice theirsupport or concerns over anadditional sewer bond electionthe city will hold in August.Due to a mistake in expenseamounts, a bond passed in thecity last year did not raiseenough funds to upgrade thesewer system and an additionalbond will need to be passed to

Council to hold town meeting on sewer bond electionimprove its deterioratinglagoon system.

The town hall meeting willbe held at the MarsingCommunity Center at 7 p.m.on Monday and engineers,council persons and the city’sattorney will be on hand toexplain exactly what the cityintends to do.

A letter from the city will besent to residents in the city andsays the project consists of four

main components;rehabilitation and reline thesanitary sewer lagoons, installa new sanitary sewer liftstation, clean, inventory andevaluate the condition of theexisting sewer pipe and installnew aerators in the lagoons.

“In summary, theapproximate funding availableto the City of Marsing tocomplete the project was$325,000,” the letter states.

Two qualified bids werereceived to complete theconstruction items in theamount of $520,303.86 and$444,265.78. Well above theoriginal bond. The councilstates in its letter that the reasonfor the funding shortfall is dueto “low initial estimate of coststo complete the construction,the initial estimate was madein 1998 and fuel and insurancecosts are now substantially

higher and because the disposalof the sludge waste from thelagoons was not figured intothe original 325K estimate.”

The city will ask voters topass a $324,000 bond to beable to complete the project,which equates to an averageincrease of about $4.15 permonth based on amount ofusage. About 40 percent of theincrease will be a “cost increaseattributed to higher systemexpenses and would beincorporated into the basicsewer rate independent of therehabilitation project.” The restof the increase at about $2.50per month will be used toservice the bond debt.

“While no one likes to raiserates for basic services, theserepairs need to be completedto allow the City of Marsing tocontinue to effectively treat thesewage, and not exceed the

discharge limits established bythe EPA,” the letter continues.“In the event the City ofMarsing is prohibited fromdischarging into the SnakeRiver in the future, all of therepairs and work done underthis project will help facilitatethe transition to a different typeof sewage treatment, like landapplication.”

The bond election isscheduled for August 5.

By Fred Grant

The Work Group is nearing completion of aproposal which it can present to you as suggestedmeans for reaching the goals you set for resolvingland use conflicts in the County in order to protect theeconomic stability of the County and preserve thehealth of the natural resources of the County. TheGroup should be able to present a package whichmeets your goals, so that you can make a presentationto Senator Crapo by Fall.

The resolution of the long standing land useconflicts involves settlement. And, settlement meansthat neither side of the issues gets everything it wants.Each side must give some in order to gain the elementsimportant to their interest. The ranching interestsseek such settlement, through the Initiative, in orderto protect against repeated lawsuits in which hundredsof thousands of dollars are wasted, and in order toprevent continued arbitrary grazing restrictions whichthreaten continued ranching operations.

In recent weeks, vocal opponents of the Initiativeeffort have stepped up their activities. Most of thatopposition comes from the anti-grazing forces whooppose all livestock grazing on federal lands. Thestepped up efforts by the supporters of Jon Marveland Katie Fite make it appear that the Work Group isreaching conclusions favorable to the County and itsranching communities.

When you announced the Initiative, theCounty had just barely escaped the simple presidentialpen strokes which would have converted over halfthe County into a national monument which wouldseverely limit all use of the natural resources onmillions of acres. Management of such monumentwould have been totally within the control of theBLM, with no congressional involvement. Over 68ranching families in the Owyhee Resource Areafaced grazing restrictions from arbitrary BLM termsand conditions which threatened their ability tocontinue in business. Ranchers in the Grandview-Bruneau area faced development of a ResourceManagement Plan which would form the base for thesame restrictive type management. All ranchersinvolved with the Wilderness Study Areas werehamstrung by the BLM policy which prevented rangeimprovements necessary for the health of the resourceand for the economic health of the ranching families.

The members of the Work Group representingranchers, landowners and the County——ChadGibson, Inez Jaca, Cindy Bachman, Ted Hoffman,Brenda Richards and Frank Bachman——have setseveral objectives as necessary to resolve the issuesin favor of ranchers and the economy of the County.They are: (1) establishment of an objective reviewof proposed BLM decisions by natural resourceexperts before the release of such decisions; (2)release of all wilderness study areas not designated aswilderness to multiple uses; (3) establishment of aninventory of management practices needed by theranchers affected by wilderness designation so thatthose practices can be protected by Congress; (4)establishment of a research center which can provideand coordinate research regarding status of speciesso that decisions for listings and protection are notmade for political reasons in the absence of reliableresearch; and (5) management of off road vehicles toprevent further destruction such as has occurred atHeminway Butte.

As to all those objectives, at least 9 of the 10voting members are in support of concepts whichwould provide what the landowners and Countyneed. As to some of the objectives, all 10 haveexpressed support for the necessary concepts.

The part of the settlement which favors theconservation groups is the designation of wildernessin critical landscape areas and the research centerwhich would promote continued projects forprotecting the health of the natural resources in thecounty. Recreation users are concerned about publicaccess to traditional hunting and fishing and campingareas in the wilderness designations. The Work

Group is in the final stages of the process of assuringcritical access points. Motorized recreation users areinterested in developing maintenance and other trailprograms to provide quality recreation opportunitiesin areas where use of motorized vehicles is lawful. Asubcommittee of the Work is in the final stages ofdeveloping a recreation management portion of thepackage.

The near unanimous position on concepts at thispoint indicates that a successful settlement of conflictsis near. That the tentatively developed packageprovides protection for the key elements needed byall but one of the members of the Work Group.

As to the first objective specified, the objectivereview of BLM decisions prior to their issuance, 9 ofthe voting members, and at times all 10, havesupported the concept. Details as to the drafting ofthis objective as well as others are still being workedout. But, it appears that agreement will be soonreached on a concept which calls for establishment of

a panel of qualified experts in natural resourcemanagement. If a rancher, or any person interestedin a grazing decision, requests an objective review ofan expected BLM decision, three members of thatpanel will be selected to conduct a review to determinewhether the BLM has used sound scientific evidenceand techniques in reaching its decision. If the BLMdoes not follow the recommendation of the panel ofexperts, the expert recommendation becomes part ofany administrative appeal record which is reviewedby the administrative judge. Currently, discussionsare underway with the University of Idaho forparticipation in the selection process of experts.

The Work Group members are currently involvedin trying to determine how the objective reviewprocess could be used with regard to other multipleuses which are not governed by the grazingregulations.

As to the second objective, all members supportrelease back to multiple use management of thosewilderness study areas not designated for wilderness.The question now being resolved is the nature of therelease language which should be recommended.One concept of language appears to have the supportof 9 members at this point. By that language Congresswould simply say that there has been enough study,and the wilderness study areas not designated arereleased for multiple use management.

As to the third objective, a cross section ofconservation and landowner representatives havemet with the ranchers who would be affected bywilderness designations to determine whatmanagement activities would be necessary to continuethe viability of their use of wilderness areas for

grazing. The inventory is still being worked on, andmethods of assuring that the necessary activities willbe protected are being researched.

As to the fourth objective, the concept of theresearch center is assured, and details as to its operationare being worked on.

As to the fifth objective, some elements of amanagement plan have been tentatively agreed to:limiting off road vehicles to lawful trails, providingadequate management and signing of trails, andproviding for enforcement of the managementprogram. It appears that there is also tentativeagreement on some form of financial assistance tothe Sheriff to provide for search and rescue costswhich are now borne by the county’s taxpayers, andto provide for enforcement through a contractualcooperation agreement between the Sheriff and theBLM.

The near unanimity of the Work Group onthese points of critical interest to the County andlandowners demonstrates that the Group has walkedan important middle road necessary if conflicts are tobe resolved.

As to the detractors. Some say there is “too muchwilderness” being considered. But, as to suchdetractors, I recommend that you ask “too much” ascompared to what. As compared to the millions ofacres which would have been set aside in a monumentdesignation, and which could again be set aside in afuture administration if the Initiative does not becomelaw? As compared to the fact that the acres currentlyprojected as wilderness designation represent areasin which the ranchers and landowners involved preferwilderness and congressional protection of economicinterests in the wilderness to the arbitrary managementby the BLM which now exists in those areas? Otherthan the wilderness originally proposed by theOwyhee Cattleman’s Association, and now acceptedby the motorized vehicle representative, the onlyother acres which are being discussed are those inwhich landowners have voluntarily entered into thediscussions. Is it “too much” for motorized vehicles,when they cannot lawfully be operated in the areasnow, and when the designation will mean the releaseof wilderness study areas for multiple uses includingrecreation?

One of the anti-grazing detractors has beenquoted as saying that the proposal now underdiscussion gives the County too much control. Theproposal as it now stands provides for localgovernment participation in all future land usedecisions, and that is exactly what Congress hasmandated in the Federal Policy and ManagementAct.

Another complaint by the anti-grazinginterests is that the process has been “secret”, notopen to the public. Every meeting of the Work Grouphas been an open, public meeting. Every meeting ofthe subcommittees has been open. Some of thedetractors have attended some meetings, but have notshown the stamina to hang in there with the membersof the Work Group who have spent literally hundredsof hours in meetings, working out settlementagreements. The Subcommittees have reached out toother organizations and individuals to involve themin discussing issues of access points, the necessity ofgrazing management activities, and other issuesrelated directly to resolve the conflicts which haveexisted for two decades. One individual from themotorized recreation groups, Dick Trudeau, has beeninvaluable in assisting the identification of criticalaccess areas.

I believe that the package which is nearingcompletion will provide you with a proposal whichwill assure against future attempts to create amonument, locking up most of the County, willassure that there will be an objective means forreviewing arbitrariness on the part of BLM personnel,will assure a well defined recreation presence in theCounty, will provide assistance to the Sheriff in lawenforcement efforts, and will serve well protection ofthe traditional ranching economy of the County.

Vinaigrette: when oil andvinegar mix

Dear Betty,I hear a lot about vinaigrette, but I’m not sure what it is. Can

you help?Melvin, Ill.Oil and vinegar do mix, to create vinaigrette. It’s one of the

simplest salad dressings, just oil, vinegar, salt and pepper andmaybe a pinch of dry mustard or chopped herbs.

To make a basic vinaigrette, combine two parts oil with onepart vinegar, a dash of salt and pepper and a dollop of Dijon ora little dry mustard in a small covered container. Make sure thecover is on tight then shake until the ingredients are blended.Voila, vinaigrette!

But that’s just for starters. Play around with these basicingredients to make a sweet, mild dressing for fresh fruit salador a rich, zesty marinade for pork chops. Try using different:

Oils-olive, walnut or sesame. Vinegars-balsamic, raspberry,tarragon, red or whit wine or seasoned rice. Seasonings-garlic,chili powder or cumin; fresh or dried herbs such as thyme,rosemary, tarragon or basil; celery, poppy or sesame seeds;prepared mustards from Dijon to honey to German; finelychopped green onions; a dash of sugar for sweetness or aspoonful of horseradish for zest. Fruits-a squeeze of lemon, limeor grapefruit juice adds a touch of tartness, while a puree ofraspberries, blackberries or strawberries creates a sweetvinaigrette for marinades or fruit salad.

Drizzle vinaigrette over mixed greens or pasta salad, grilledvegetables or sliced boiled potatoes, fruit wedges or garden-fresh tomato slices. Use some of it as a marinade for grilling andthe rest as a sauce for the cooked meat.

Oil and vinegar do mix, but just for a while. You’ll have toshake the container of dressing to keep the ingredients mixed.

Dear Betty,What’s the difference between cider vinegar and white vinegar?Douglas, Ga.The difference is all in the basic ingredients. Golden-brown

cider vinegar is made from fermented apple cider and has atangy, fruity taste. White vinegar is distilled from a grain-alcohol mixture and is slightly harsher tasting. Although theflavors are a little different, you can use them interchangeably inrecipes.

But there’s a whole host of other vinegars as well: balsamic,an Italian vinegar ages in barrels; red or whit wine vinegars; ricewine vinegar made from fermented rice and perfect for Asiandishes; and berry, herbed and pepper vinegars. All add distinctiveflavor and punch to your salad dressings, sauces and marinades.

Editor’s notebook On the edge ofcommon sense

Baxter Black, DVMYou can bet your boots ...You can bet your boots that if a private citizen made a proposal to do

what the city is doing, the application would be denied without hesitation.The city is putting a 65-foot high tank in a residential subdivision.At its most recent meeting, the Homedale City Council was told the city

will build its new water tower on ground within the city impact area, andthat’s good news, the report says, because the site approval is under controlof the city.

Homedale needs a new water storage facility. For years we’ve beentold of dangers to water shortages, and fears that existing wells were apt tofail. The latter has happened. The city bought several acres of land inCanyon County, drilled a new well, and ran water lines to the city. We are

told we now have an adequate source of water.Now, what we need is a new storage reservoir. The

old tank is decaying, and leaks. (Remember the debatewith the experts when they built the wooden tank?Recall, if you will, all the promise the wooden tankwould last about half of eternity? So much for theexperts’ opinions.)

I’ve heard no one arguing that we don’t need a newtank. The issue is where to locate it. More exactly, theright to locate it where the city wants it.

The chosen site is within the city impact area. It is on a lot the city itselfhas zoned residential. Obviously, the city can apply to the planning andzoning commission for a Special Use Permit. But it certainly appears thecity fathers do not plan to do so. We’ve been told the council thinks they’reexempt from the zoning restrictions. They’re not, under the law. The citycould have exempted utilities within its ordinance, but it wasn’t done.Contary to the belief of some, state law does not exempt “utilities” fromzoning ordinances.

The city must jump through the hoops of a Special Use Permit just likeanyone else. But even then, it must comply with the standards it hasimposed on the rest of us subjects.

For instance, the permit would be subject to adequate evidence show-ing that such use will be designed and constructed to be harmonious andappropriate in appearance with the existing or intended character of thegeneral vicinity... and that it will not result in loss of scenic features.

A special use permit cannot be granted without meeting these criteria.That’s right out of the city’s own law.

It seems that a 35-foot diameter tank, 65 feet tall, would not beharmonious and appropriate with the residential character of the subdivi-sion, or the subdivision adjacent to it. And such a huge tank would surelyinterfere with the scenic features of the lots adjacent and near it.

So, hang on to your bootstraps. One shouldn’t expect a council thatreappoints planning and zoning commissioners who are not eligible toserve, to bother with a minor technicality as its own zoning laws.

***

Law effective July 1...The state legislature passed a new law this past session which requires

the publication of information on sexual predators. The law went intoeffect July 1.

The law requires the sheriff publish, for three consecutive weeks, “thename, address, photograph of said person and ofense the offender hascommitted...”

This law is not retroactive. It does not apply to offenders who commit-ted the offense prior to July 1.

Consequently, we will not be publishing the list of prior offenders.

Pet guardiansSan Francisco recently joined Boulder, CO, Hollywood, CA, Berke-

ley, CA and a few other helium-rich communities by outlawing ownershipof pets. No, you can still have pets, you just can’t own them. These citiesproclaim that pets are not property, owners are now considered petguardians.

The first word that came to my mind is LAWYERS! I can see themlining up now: “Your honor, my client Spot is suing his guardian, Mr.Jones, for cruel and unusual punishment. Once a year he is placed in aportable pet container and hauled to the veterinarian to have his anal glandsexpressed. It is humiliating, done without his permission and results in thepost expression blues. “Expert testimony will be furnished by Daffy Duckand a renowned pet psychic who will translate for both. We are asking fora year’s supply of Kibbles and Duck Chow for pain and suffering and$250,000 in expert and legal fees.”

Who should be entitled to decide if a pet, wait aminute…maybe even the word pet should be out-lawed, as well, in lieu of companion, sidekick, rugpeer, couch scratcher, hair shedder, leg hu...the wordpet implies that the guardian is superior to the animal.As I was saying, who should be entitled to decide ifFluffy or Fido has reason to sue. How ‘bout thePPP...Pet Protection Police! They would be like socialworkers except they could arrest the two-legged perpe-trator.

Maybe the American Bar Association could actu-ally oversee the PPP. Landmark cases might include: La Ronette de Fluf-Fey vs. Guardian - Poodle sues to prevent poofy hairdos. Luther vs.Guardian - Bloodhound sues for itching due to loose skin. Miss Kitty vs.Berkley - Class-action suit against city for perpetuation of the caninespecies.

This trend of expanding unreality could lead to laws like the Freedomfor Vegetables Act, where permission of the plant must be attained beforeconsumption, or laws that grant anti-moving rights to furniture,†or prohi-bition of the use of animal names for sports teams, constellations and/orvehicles, jet planes, or streets, i.e., “Navajo tribal member Sam Roanhorse,bullpen backup for Philadelphia Eagles, 1220 Via Coyote, Deerfield, NewHampshire, was arrested for pointing out Pisces while driving his DodgeRam and simultaneously wearing a salmon-colored sweater, poodle skirtand pigtails. He is being sued by the city of Tofuland, (formerly Foxburro),for violating multiple counts of the animal nomenclature act. He iscurrently trying to weasel his way out of it.”

It’s possible he may, where there’s a loon and a lawyer, there’s a way.

Commentary

A reporter’s viewby Cheryl Beeson

Last week I received several phone calls from parents informing me that I hadprinted the wrong picture of the girls’ 11-12 year old softball champions for theCity of Homedale summer rec. program. After some investigation I have cometo the conclusion that the only mistake I made was that I did not have a completepicture of the championship team.

On June 21 the championship playoff game was held at Sundance Park inHomedale. Homedale’s “B” team entered the championship play-off afterworking their way through six games on the final day and found themselves faceto face with the opposing team, Homedale’s “A” team.

Most of the girls on both teams have grown up together, played together, andgone to school together. They know each other’s families, attend churchestogether and shared gossip of boys together. In the future they will compete onthe same teams together and from speaking with the coaches, they are predictedto be an “amazing” team together.

After speaking with the recreation director of the city, coaches of the teams, thecity clerk and a few of the girls on the teams, the problem started during thetournament before the final championship game even started.

“The time was getting late. It was nearly nine o’clock before we could evenstart,” one person told me. “No one knew who would win. Both teams workedvery hard to get where they were and both teams are champions in my eyes.”

The final game started and the “B” team, the home team, spent the first fourinnings down by six runs. But as fate would have it, during the fourth inning, thehome team climbed to a 9-7 lead. After a lengthy discussion between the umpires,the coaches and the rec. director, the game was called due to darkness at 9:45 p.m.

The official game rules from the American Softball Association (ASA) state:“when, in sole discretion of the umpire, rain, darkness or another uncontrollablecircumstance makes it impossible to play a ‘regulation game,’ and that game hasmet one of the following criteria to be considered an ‘official game’ it will not berescheduled if: five innings have been played or four and one-half innings if thehome team has scored more runs than their opponents have scored in fiveinnings.”

Homedale’s recreation director confirmed that the city does follow the rulesand regulations of the ASA, which would have put the “B” team as thechampionship team. But those involved said that they had been informed by CityClerk Pam Dugger that in fact, the two teams would have to play the final twoinnings during the following Tuesday. Neither side can state exactly why anadditional game needed to be played. Dugger concluded that since the “B” teamdid not show up for the continued game, they lost by forfeit.

In my mind and in the minds of many of the parents, coaches and kids involvedin the misunderstanding, both teams are champions. Both teams received atrophy. Both teams worked exceptionally hard to make it to the championshipgame.

The only ones disputing the final game are a few of the parents and the cityclerk. Parents who know that their child was a champion the day that they wereborn.

Don’t let these girls – who will continue to play together in high school sportsand on the playgrounds of our community – be pitted against each other to seewho is the number one child. They all are.

Human Events columnist Property rightsactivists are worried that a renewed push tocombat non-native “invasive species” could endup granting massive new powers over privateland to the federal government.

“This could expand the federal government’spower far beyond what the Endangered SpeciesAct has done,” said R.J. Smith, director of theCenter for Private Conservation. “Few peoplehave endangered species on their land. Almosteveryone has non-native species.” Smith andother pro-private-property activists are keepingan eye on the Interior Department as it works ona major invasive species control proposal. Smithsaid environmentalists are trying to use thelegitimate problems raised by some non-nativespecies to generate a movement for comprehen-sive, ESA-like legislation that would empowerfederal bureaucrats to eradicate whatever non-native species they deemed harmful. “The prob-lem is, none of our people are on the invasivespecies committees and councils [of the govern-

ment],” said Smith. “They are all environmen-talists. And the radical environmentalists wantto eliminate all non-native species from thecountry. They want to go back to 1492. Some ofthem want to eliminate state-to-state transfer ofspecies.” Non-native species range from benignplants such as most lawn grasses to true pestssuch as the snakehead.

On April 23, Congress passed a bill to com-bat nutria, a rat-like aquatic creature. The Nox-ious Weed Control Act (S 144), supported byWestern ranchers, recently passed the Senate.The House is considering a companion bill.“The definitions of ‘weed’ and ‘harmful’ inthese bills is too vague,” said Smith. “Whodecides what is a weed?” He said the bills shouldbe amended include compensation for propertyowners who lose money due to governmentaction. “I am very concerned about the propertyrights implications of pending legislation ad-dressing so-called ‘invasive species,’” SenateEnvironment Chairman James Inhofe (R.-Okla.)told HUMAN EVENTS. “First, we should ex-

Decreasing invasive species mayincrease invasive government

amine existing regulatory authority over thisissue to determine how it’s being enforced.Second, bills of this scope and volume deserveclose scrutiny because they can easily spiral intoa regulatory morass. As the dysfunctional En-dangered Species Act has shown, Congressshould be very wary of how legislation on inva-sive species is drafted.”

“In 1973, when the Endangered Species Actwas passed, it was viewed as innocuous,” saidRay Arnett, an asparagus farmer in Stockton,Calif., who served as assistant secretary of Inte-rior under President Reagan. “They wanted tosave the bald eagle.” “Today, the EndangeredSpecies Act has nothing to do with endangeredspecies,” said Fred Grau, a Pennsylvania farmerwho grows a non-native species used in farmingcorn on hilly land. “It has to do with control ofthe land and the people.”
