Looking back to
1999; how far have we come? |

Daniel
Webster's 1999 Assessment
Here is Daniel Webster's 1999 assessment of what is now
recognized as our local Agenda 21 burden!
We had Ray at Mikes Copy shop in Medford make as good a
copy as possible from an original newspaper copy we
have.
Yes, they want to make the private land in Siskiyou
County a national park!
I saw a similar takeover of Santa Rosa Island off the
coast of Santa Barbara into Channel Islands National
Park, and in that case the National Park Service paid
$30,000,000 for Vail and Vickers 54,000 acre island. I
was their consultant in that matter for 25 years during
their estate right to continue to use the island for
their elk and deer hunting program, but they gave up
their stocker cattle program at the beginning of the 25
year estate right.
Now the family is gone from the island and coyote brush
is expanding and wrecking the ecology of much of the
island.
I participated in the mediated settlement talks about 26
years ago, and they threatened the families into
submission and giving up the cattle part of their
operation. They previously since about 1900 ran about
8,000 stocker cattle (steers) on the island. Transport
was by barge with approximately 375-450 lb steers
brought on annually and growing them to 800 lbs
approximately.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service listed two plants, an
Indian paintbrush forb (wildflower) and an endemic
manzanita shrub the day before the mediated settlement
talks began at the Faculty Club of the University of
California, Santa Barbara Campus. The claim was that the
cattle had destroyed the island. Once the purchase was
secured by the Federal Government, the National Park
Service and others told us this was the most pristine
land in California. Patent liars about the damage that
cattle had done. Now the lack of management by the
National Park Service is really destroying the
vegetation ecology of the island. The grassland needs as
grazer to utilize the production to keep the weedy
coyote brush from expansion.
It happened before, it can happen again! |
