Just a note about property protection from river damage.

A couple of years ago (yeah, right...probably five years ago) a fellow with the last name of Rose drove a dozer into the Quilcence to move some gravel around and protect his property during a flood (or right after..not sure).

State sued and lost. Seems property owners do have some rights when it comes to losing their homes to raging water.

So to those radicals who think "Fish first at all cost"........think again. Perhaps a little compassion for the land owner just MAY be in order.
