Body found in Lake Limerick Authorities say it is boy’s missing father By KEVAN MOORE kevan@masoncounty.com

Police recovered the body of Shelton resident Sheldon W. Olsen, 39, from Lake Limerick at about 4:45 p.m. on Saturday. Olsen went missing during a canoe trip in the lake in the evening of March 17 at around 6:48 p.m. The body of his son, Jace, was recovered later that evening. The father and son had embarked on a canoe trip in the lake that evening Sheldon and witOlsen nesses told deputies the two were seen on the lake offshore from the clubhouse as late as 6:13 p.m. The alarm was sounded later when the canoe was spotted on the lake empty. The body of Olsen was recovered from Lake Limerick, on the same day as his son’s memorial, after a weeklong effort by the Mason County Search and Rescue Volunteer Dive Team in partnership with the Squaxin Island Tribal Police Dive Team. Olsen was located approximately 150 feet from shore in 14 feet of water. Divers conducting search patterns visually located Olsen and recovered his body from the lake. Mason County Sheriff’s Office deputies organized a search immediately after being called on March 17, utilizing one of the department’s three boats and divers. Sheriff’s deputies found 2-year-old Jace’s body at about 9:20 p.m. Deputies suspended the searches after a 2½-day effort. Then, after reviewing the search and analyzing data from the search, deputies resumed See Found on page A-8

City focuses on economy Draft comprehensive plan amendment possible By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncounty.com

After four years of recession, the City of Shelton is working

hard to draft an update for a portion of its comprehensive plan that outlines economic development strategies. “We’ve just got a bad economy and we need to do something and

we’re kind of on our own,” City Administrator Dave O’Leary said. “Cities are our economic engines and they need to facilitate commerce.” The draft update to the comprehensive plan includes goals to create new jobs in Mason Countyand to keep people working here,

rather than commuting to Thurston or Kitsap counties. “The number one break that we’ve gotten is the new development that hopefully will be happening with the Shelton Hills (property),” Mayor Gary Cronce See Economy on page A-7

Tribe uses helicopters to preserve estuary More than 200 pieces of woody debris placed to create habitat By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncounty.com

The Skokomish Tribe, in partnership with the Mason Conservation District, used a helicopter to place more than 200 pieces of large woody debris at the Skokomish Estuary last Monday. The project is intended to restore habitat in the estuary, said Shannon Kirby, habitat biologist for the Skokomish Tribe. “Basically what we’re trying to do is recreate the conditions that were there in 1938,” she said. After 1938, the Nalley Island Dikes changed the landscape in the Skokomish Estuary. In 2007 the tribe implemented Phase 1 of its project to restore the estuary. This phase included 130 acres on the western side of the estuary. “That consisted of removing the perimeter dikes and putting in a boardwalk that extends along Tacoma Power’s lines,” said Skokomish Tribe Habitat Manager Alex Gouley. In 2010, the tribe began implementing Phase 2 of the project, which includes 215 acres of the estuary. In this phase, contractors removed the remainder of the dikes, roads and culverts and dug ditches to help channel water through the estuary. Gouley said the tribe hadn’t originally planned on including the addition of large woody debris in Phase 2. “We had some funding left over because the bids came in low,” he said. The project was funded by a Salmon Recovery Fund Board grant which also funded Phase 1 and 2 of the dike removal proj-

The Skokomish Tribe, in partnership with the Mason Conservation District, used helicopters to drop more than 200 pieces of large woody debris into the Skokomish Estuary last Monday to recreate fish habitat that hasn’t existed since before the Nalley Island Dikes were complete in 1938.

ect, Kirby said. Phase 1 cost about $1.5 million and Phase 2 cost about $2.3 million. Before dams and dikes changed the landscape of the Skokomish Estuary, high water flow would cause trees to fall into the river,

which created areas for salmon to rest, feed and spawn. Without the large, woody debris, these places don’t exist. “The primary benefit was to create fish habitat,” Kirby said. Placing the woody debris in the estuary expedites the restoration process by helping create channels and capture sediment, and creates habitat for salmon and other fish, she said. “We’re trying to recreate what historic conditions were there,” Kirby said. Helicopters worked throughout the day Monday placing root balls and logs around the estuary. “It was really cool to see,” Kirby said. The wood for the project was donated by Brady’s Trucking and the Ridge Motorsports Park and moved by Columbia Helicopters. Both Phase 1 and 2, and the introduction of the woody debris will help reintroduce the tidal processes and flooding of the estuary, Gouley said. While this will improve fish habitat, it will also help restore the salt flats that used to make up the estuary. “When Nalley diked the farm that salt marsh plane slowly subsided and changed into mud flat. It (the salt marsh) slowly subsided over time because there was no flooding,” he said. “Through accretion the salt flats will build up again.” In some places, the land is five or six feet lower in elevation than it was before the salt flats eroded, Gouley said. A portion of the Skokomish Estuary along State Route 106 was never diked, and gives the tribe a valuable picture of what the rest of the land once looked like, Gouley said. “We have a reference,” he said. “Getting natural debris to settle in the floodplain by removing the dike, that will help with the revegetation process. It is kind of an experiment but we knew it was the natural process.”

Court and pled not guilty on March 14. The court documents and complete Washington State Patrol report make no mention of alcohol as playing a factor in the collision. According to a report of investigation from the Washington State Patrol, Crabtree admitted to consuming marijuana and oxycontin, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as well as other medications she was not able to name.â&#x20AC;? The State Patrol also found a tupperware container filled with marijuana in Crabtreeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car after the collision. Crabtree was travelling south

in the silver CR-V toward U.S. Highway 101 when the car went up an embankment on the right side of the road, then turned sharply into the northbound lane and struck the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side front corner of a 1997 Ford F80 fuel tanker, the WSP report stated. The truck, owned by Drew Heating Oil, and driven by Gregory Alfred Drew, 57, of Tenino, was carrying diesel fuel. Crabtree was injured and transported to Mason General Hospital. Both vehicles were totaled and towed off the scene within an hour and a half.

Former Belfair resident Margaret Yvonne Peterson, 54, was sentenced this month in Mason County Superior Court to a year and one day in prison for failing to register as a sex offender. Peterson was convicted of thirddegree child molestation in King County Superior Court in March 1995 and required to register as a sex offender. Peterson eventually moved to the 100 block of Dogwood Lane in Belfair in October 2008. In June of last year, a certified mailing of the annual address verification was returned to the Mason County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office as unclaimed and an outstanding bench warrant was issued for Peterson. Less than two weeks later, deputies went to the home and found it completely vacant. Petersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s neighbor told deputies that Peterson had moved to somewhere in or near Shelton in the first half of that month. Peterson was ultimately arrested at the Mason County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office on July 15, 2011. Peterson pled not guilty on April 27, 2011, but changed her plea to guilty on Feb. 6, 2012.

Pioneer Primary School Librarian Deborah Allen buys books for the school library using money from student fundraising efforts, like the Box Tops for Education.

Pioneer leads in recycling program natalie@masoncounty.com

Pioneer Primary School is small, but its students are making a big difference through recycling. This year, Pioneer Primary School is one of the top 100 collectors in the country for the Kraft Cheese TerraCycle program’s Cheese Packaging Brigade, which has 5,000 collecting organizations nationwide. Pioneer parent Jennifer Martin brought the national TerraCycle program to the school last April. “It started out looking for an earth day project for the Girl Scouts and sort of ballooned,” she said. “I basically set it up and run it for the school.” Now each classroom in the primary school has a box designated for TerraCycle items. Pioneer Middle School also has a designated pick-up location for the recyclables. In the program, Martin said, different recyclables are sorted into “brigades.” These brigades can include pens, markers, cheese or candy wrappers, plastic containers and more. After the kids collect the recyclables, Martin picks them up from the school and sends them back to Kraft, which sends the school money in return. Since last Earth Day, Aprill 22, the program has earned $700 for the school, Martin said. Third-grade teacher Karen Everett’s class used to throw away used glue-sticks and markers but now they can TerraCycle those items. Students can also bring TerraCycle recyclables from home to contribute to the program.

Nationwide, more than 200,000 wrappers and bags have been kept out of landfills through the Cheese Packaging Brigade, according to a TerraCycle press release. Throughout the brigades, more than two billion pieces of garbage have been kept out of the waste stream, the release also stated. While most students at Pioneer Primary participate, it isn’t a competition, Martin said. The students work hard to collect the items to help their school. Students at the school have the option to participate in half a dozen different recycling programs like TerraCycle, Martin said. In addition to helping with those programs, she also collects Box Tops For Education for the school. Each box top earns the school 10 cents, and Pioneer Primary gets about $1,000 each year from the program, which it uses to buy books, said school librarian Deborah Allen. “We do not have a budget, have not for years,” she said. “Without the box tops we would not be able to buy books.” Allen said she appreciates how hard Pioneer students work to raise money for programs at the school. Every time she has the funds to buy a new hardback series, the students get very excited, she said. “It’s like I’m showing them gold. It warms my heart that the kids love these books,” Allen said. “It makes the kids feel really good.” Everett said the funding the TerraCycle program generates helps the school go beyond basic classroom education. Sprecifically, the money goes to pay for assemblies for students. Soon, a ventriloquist will perform at the school, Everett said. “We wouldn’t have money to pay for those things unless there’s fundraising,” she said.

JOURNALEDITORIAL

Mason County leaders must keep unemployment in mind

ne year ago the SheltonMason County Journal penned an editorial taking the city to task in reaction to 12.4 percent unemployment figures in Mason County. Today we are still asking the city to take the same actions: create tax incentives and simplify permitting processes. While we are pleased to see Mason County’s unemployment rate drop from 12.4 percent to 11.5

percent since last year, our elected officials must work together in sending a strong message that Shelton, and Mason County, is open for business. To be fair, the rezone near the fairgrounds is a major step forward and the city staff is to be applauded for the hard work and dedication they put in to make this happen. We acknowledge that a nearly

1 percent drop in unemployment can make an enormous difference in our community but lower unemployment does not necessarily mean more people are working. There are about 160 fewer employees in the county this year compared to last year according to the Washington State Employment Security Department, and 11.5 percent unemployment is still much higher than any stable com-

munity can support. Mason County lost a lot of business since 2008, but we’re encouraged by the new specialty businesses selling meat, produce and beer that have opened. We are also encouraged that fewer businesses closed their door over the winter as compared to the previous one. Single digit unemployment and a more robust economy is possible for Mason County. Our

city and county government can make it happen by creating the tax incentives and simplifying the permitting processes that we’ve been asking them to do for a year. Mason County is populated with hard-working people looking to provide a safe, comfortable life for our families. Our local government leaders have a responsibility to create an environment conducive to economic growth so we can.

LETTERSTOTHEEDITOR

Level 3 sex offenders should not be released Editor, the Journal Why is it that Mason County seems to be a Mecca for sex offenders? Why is it that level 3 sex offenders that are said to be highly likely to re-offend, are turned loose and allowed to register as a transient? How often are they required to report in and what are they doing and where are they going in the meantime? Why should another child, or adult for that matter, need to feel afraid or suffer from the acts of these devious people? Why hasn’t a law been put into place to safeguard us? No housing, no job, no way of daily tracking. No release.

A halfway house and a job as some might suggest, brings to mind Charles Campbell, a rapist, who had threatened his victim with death if she testified against him, ran from his work release job, killing her by slitting her throat, her young daughter’s throat and that of a visiting neighbor’s. Yes, he was executed by the State of Washington, but here innocent lives were taken as a result of his release. What is it going to take to make changes in the law to safeguard our citizens, our children? A Tim Eyman initiative? It seems to me, this sort of crime carries a certain mental disorder and the release of certain mental patients that are deemed to be a threat to the community and they are released with nothing done to protect the citizens. So, when do lawmakers wake up, when it happens to their families? While we can’t stop all sex crimes, we should certainly be trying

to prevent those that we know will re-occur. Irene Goldsby Shelton

Here’s a solution Editor, the Journal In the end, many might look back and say, wow! Why didn’t we pursue this earlier? Truth be told, it was pursued earlier, but localized business forces appeared to have shut it down. But no more! I could see the spark of brightness in the eyes of each of the three commissioners last night as Steve Bloomfield shared about his meeting with Dave Garland with the Department of Ecology about the Belfair Sewer. Presto! Mr. Garland was elated with the brilliant solution according to the commissioner. So what is this buzz spreading across the peninsula? What a brilliant con-

cept!! Seek a partnership with Kitsap County, take the sewer straight up north from the treatment plant and bring it toward the Bremerton airport! And what does Mason County get for it? How do we count the ways? First of all, the potential for many, many sewer customers; Second, the huge unmanned territory of Phase 3 in the sewer project completed and ready for development; Third, external money coming into Mason County to help pay for the sewer; Fourth, a move of business development away from polluting the Hood Canal and preparation for the future Belfair Bypass development; Fifth, a rocking commercial and urban development area in Belfair and Bremerton exactly where it belongs; and finally, commercial property tax revenues coming straight into the county’s veins! How do we count the ways? Thank you commissioners! For the first time since

Wild Olympics Campaign in Shelton Editor, the Journal I recently attended a presentation by the Wild Olympics Campaign here in Shelton. I am impressed by what I saw and heard. These folks are working hard to protect our rural areas and the natural resources that our economy depends upon. As our population grows, protecting wild areas of forest and rivers becomes more important to preserve our salmon habitat, to enhance recreational access,

and protect our watersheds that supply cold, clean water to Puget Sound and Hood Canal. Mason County shellfish growers depend on this clean, cold water. Mason County gives a unique experience of forest and the free flowing South Fork Skokomish River. I want my grandchildren to be able to enjoy the same experiences that I and other residents have enjoyed over the years. I am glad that Congressman Norm Dicks and Sen. Patty Murray feel the same.

Man gets 19.5 months in prison Belfair man sentenced after possession, bail jumping charges By KEVAN MOORE kevan@masoncounty.com

Belfair resident Jason A. Keith, 32, was sentenced in Mason County Superior Court to 18 months in prison for possession of a controlled substance and 19.5 months in prison for bail jumping. The sentences will run concurrently. Keith, who lives in the 100 block of Fern Way, was arrested June 26, 2011 at Sandi’s Deli Mart in Belfair at 6:33 p.m. for possession of a controlled substance. Deputy Larry Ellis was patrolling Belfair while in uniform in a marked patrol car when he recognized Keith and knew that he had an outstanding warrant. While taking Keith into custody, Deputy Ellis discovered an unmarked pill bottle in the right front pocket of Keith’s shorts. The bottle contained about 30 smaller pills that were not a controlled sub-

City of Shelton Mayor Gary Cronce said he thinks street paving in the city and the proposed development on Hall Equities’ Shelton Hills property will help spur economic development in Shelton.

Economy Continued from page A-1 said. “I think that’s something that the city has worked really hard on for the past three or four years.” Hall Equities hopes to create a commercial and residential development on its 160-acre Shelton Hills property near the Port of Shelton’s Sanderson Field Airport. The four economic goals and policies outlined in the draft are mostly new, O’Leary said. “They’re not done,” he said. “We want people to know about these.” The city’s existing comprehensive plan was approved in March 2004, O’Leary said. The first goal outlined in the draft is to expand the amount of land available for commercial and industrial development. According to the draft, the city hopes to develop one new commercial center inside the city limits, identify new lands for an industrial park and work with public or private entities to create that park and establish policies for that park that allow for expedited permitting and environmental reviews. The second goal is to build and expand infrastructure to allow for new business op-

portunities. Specifically, the draft states the city hopes to build a new water line out Shelton Springs Road to the Washington State Patrol Academy, execute its Water Capital Facility Plan, rehabilitate a sewer basin and establish a street maintenance program. “We’re trying to come up with a plan on how we can pave these streets,” Cronce said. Newly paved streets could encourage new businesses to move to Shelton, he said. The third goal is to adopt policies that encourage economic development. Specifically, the draft states the city hopes to establish a listing of “Primary Business Activities,” which are businesses that draw money into a community, O’Leary said. The fourth and final goal in the draft is to establish policies that encourage entrepreneurs. Specifically, the draft states that the city hopes to work with the Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Commerce and Olympic College to create vocational training courses. “Entrepreneurs are really important as it relates to economic development,” O’Leary said. Throughout the draft, the goals read “the city shall” rather than “the city should,” he noted.

“We’re not going to want to do this we’re going to do it,” he said. The city commission has not voted on the draft yet, and hopes to get more public input. The draft of the comprehensive plan update is not scheduled as a city commission agenda item in the near future, O’Leary said. Cronce said the city commission is learning to work together on the project, since two of the commissioners, Cronce and Mike Olsen, started in January. “We are trying to formulate our ideas together,” he said. “The city has basically been in the same political mode for a long time — we have a new make-up here.”

stance and three larger pills identified as Oxycodone/Acetaminophen, which is a controlled substance. Keith initially denied having two types of pills, then told Deputy Ellis that the Oxy pills belonged to a relative. Keith eventually pled not guilty on April 8, 2011, to the possession charge. The charges were expanded on Feb. 6, 2012, to include bail jumping after Keith failed to appear for a court date. A jury found Keith guilty of unlawful possession of a controlled substance and bail jumping following a one-day trial on March 2.

FEELING YOUR PAIN While the word “pain” is often used to describe the response to damaging s t i m u l i , “nociception” may be a more apt term. It refers to the electrochemical signals that are generated in the body Sarah Newman, D.C. in response to injury and then transmitted along nerve fibers to the spinal cord and up to the brain. In this sense, pain is what the brain perceives, not what is occurring at an injury site. While pain can be an acute event, such as when touching a hot stove, chronic pain can persist long after an injury has healed. This prolonged perception is due to “rewiring” and alteration of the nervous system, which may be something that chiropractic treatment can help address. The reasons why people said they tried the non-medical care were to control pain, because they heard it helps, because it is safe, or because it helped someone they know. At NEWMAN FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC, we recommend a continuing schedule of regular chiropractic checkups, which can help detect, correct, and maintain optimum spinal and nervous system function. Please call 360.426.3886 to schedule an appointment and let us help you lead a healthier life. We’re located at 2211 Jefferson St. P.S. Chiropractors are specially trained to alleviate vertebral misalignments as a means of taking stress off the nervous system and allowing nerves to function and heal normally.

Crews require dry weather to pave Weaver Creek Bridge

Neither victim was wearing a lifejacket when they were recovered. Deputies encourage anyone on or near the water to wear life jackets. This is especially necessary for children whether they can swim on not. Deputies also said the water temperature of the lake at the time of the incident was a very cold 40 degrees. The life of anyone falling into the lake when it’s that cold would be in danger if not rescued within a few minutes, officials said.

Work halted until temperatures consistently stay above 50 degrees By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncounty.com

The Mason County Department of Public Works announced last week that work on the Weaver Creek Bridge in the Skokomish Valley is nearly complete. However, construction crews will be stalled until Mason County gets some sunny weather, said Brian Matthews, interim public works director for Mason County. “We need a couple of days where the temperature stays consistently above 50 degrees,” Matthews said. Until the weather is reliably warmer, construction crews can’t apply a sealant to the concrete bridge. After the sealant sets, paving crews can lay asphalt down on the bridge whenever it is convenient, Matthews said. Construction crews also need to install guardrails along the approach to the bridge, he said. The county public works

department began work replacing the aging Weaver Creek Bridge, which was built in 1964, in October 2011. The project is finishing up right on time, Matthews said. The bridge replacement project cost $760,000, 80 percent of which was funded by federal money allocated to Mason County from the Washington State Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) Bridge Replacement Advisory Committee. “We estimated it would be done by the end of February and the contractor met its deadline even with rain and a little snow,” he said. Waiting for the right weather to apply the sealant won’t require the county commission to approve a change order on the project, or cost the county any extra money, Matthews said. “By contract we’re allowed to shut down the project and complete it when we have the right weather,” he said. “Once

we get a little break it shouldn’t take more than a week and a half.” The contractor’s road crews still have a temporary bridge in place to reroute traffic when the sealant and asphalt is applied to the bridge. Once the Weaver Creek Bridge is complete, the county will move on to the older Hunter Creek Bridge, built in 1956. “That one is now restricted to one lane, it’s sufficiently deficient,” Matthews said. Rotting wood pilings under Hunter Creek Bridge have made its outer edges unstable, he said. “It functions just fine if you put all the load in the middle,” he said. “If you kept driving on the outer lanes it would rapidly deteriorate.” Construction on a new bridge over Hunter Creek should begin in 2013. The Hunter Creek Bridge project is also funded by an 80 percent federal grant administered through the WSDOT Bridge Replacement Advisory Committee. The estimated construction cost on this project is $1,120,000.

Overall, state prisons are running at well over capacity and 6-foot-by-9-foot cells at the Shelton prison, which serves as an intake center for almost every other prison in the state, often house three prisoners at a time. But things aren’t much better at Shelton’s other detention center — the Mason County Jail. “It’s crowded,” said Chief Deputy Dean Byrd. “It’s not overcrowded, but we are running at or near capacity on a daily basis and sometimes over capacity. We don’t have any breathing room.” If the local prison is the “Shelton Hotel” and the jail is the “Shelton Motel,” neither one have vacancies. Following budget cuts and a reduction in force in 2008, officials put a 104-inmate cap into place at the jail. The jail population on Tuesday morning of this week was 100, but the number is almost always in flux. Officials also did away with a “direct supervision unit” in 2008 that was a less restrictive environment where model prisoners could be supervised by just one officer. When the jail was built in 1986 it was designed for 45 inmates, but officials subsequently went to double bunking. In recent

years, the population has soared as high as 150 inmates. The sheriff’s office uses several strategies to keep under the 104-inmate cap. “Very often, we overpopulate for a short period and then people are released,” Chief Byrd said. “In certain cases, if we have to, we have sought permission from the court to release people early. Also, we rely on administrative bookings, where suspects are brought in, fingerprinted and give a promise to appear in court. Now, that’s not the case when it comes to felonies, DUIs, domestic violence and cases where the person is perceived to be a threat to the community.” But Byrd said that the jail population total isn’t nearly as concerning as the type of people that make up that population and the costs to house them. “We’re housing a lot of people with medical and mental health issues that are absolutely killing our budget,” Byrd said. One inmate in custody for a DUI, for example, has racked up “tens of thousands of dollars” in medical bills, Byrd said. He said another current inmate, who burned down her own home, can be found “climbing the walls, yelling and screaming and causing disturbances on a daily basis.” “It’s almost like going into an insane asylum,” Byrd said. “In my opinion, the jail is not the place to be housing mental health patients.” PASSENGE

Shelton Fiddlers Fest all about the future SOCK, Old Time Fiddlers work together for youth By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncounty.com

Spring is here and that means the Shelton Old Time Fiddlers Fest is just around the corner. Each year on the first weekend in April, Save Our County’s Kids (SOCK) and the Washington Old Time Fiddlers Association get together to raise money for area youth. This year the event is scheduled for April 6 to April 7. Laura Farr represents the Washington Old Time Fiddlers’ District Five, which includes Kitsap and Mason counties. “It has double significance,” Farr said. “First and foremost as far as the music itself, it’s preserving a culture of old time music.” Farr is a classically trained musician who discovered old time fiddle music in the 1980s. Since then, she has had a passion for the music and

the Washington Old Time Fiddlers Association. “It’s like any organization, if you don’t keep young blood involved it dies out,” she said. The Old Time Fiddlers’ mission is to “promote, preserve and perpetuate old time music and related arts,” she said, but the event also raises money for SOCK. “SOCK’s mission is to save our county’s kids. What they do and what we do is really around youth,” Farr said. This year is the 27th anniversary of the fiddle fest, and the 16th year that SOCK has sponsored it. “It’s the biggest fundraiser we have each year – it’s important to us,” said Bob Bottman, SOCK fund development and facilities manager. Last year SOCK earned about $5,000 from the event to promote programs that serve youth in Mason County. However, in the past several years, fiddle fest organizers have noticed a

downward trend in attendance. Last year, about 600 people attended the two-day event at the Shelton Performing Arts Center, formerly the Shelton High School auditorium. In order to preserve the festival, and the music showcased in it, the fiddlers’ association is working hard to bring the music to a new generation. “We do that by bringing kids along and teaching (the music) to them,” Farr said. “It’s Old Time Fiddlers but that doesn’t mean it’s about old people. The goal is to keep our kids interested so the music doesn’t die.” The Washington Old Time Fiddlers also raise money through the event. “It supports their youth programs as far as music goes,” Bottman said. The Old Time Fiddlers run a weeklong fiddle camp for kids in Kititas County, Farr said. “It’s just huge,” she said. “We have got entire families coming and taking classes and learning the instruments.” Music students as young as six or seven years old participate in the See Fiddle Fest on page B-5

Shooting up the ranks New coach brings support to SHS Small Bore Rifle Team By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncounty.com

Shelton High School marksmen have kept their eye on the target this year, and hope to do well as they continue to compete. Allen Bragg took over as coach for the Shelton High School Small Bore Rifle Team in October, and since then, he said his young team has made a marked improvement and are now ranked fifth in the state. “We made the league nervous — the kids are doing so well,” he said. When he took over coaching the team, it was made up of 20 students. Now there are 10 students on the team. “These kids have done extremely well,” he said. “I’d like to see it grow — I’m revitalizing the program.” Bragg also coaches the SHS Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (NJROTC) air rifle team. Members of the NJROTC and regular students can be on the smallbore rifle team, which shoots 22 caliber rifles. Students can earn letters in this program, like other students do in other sports. “Five of the kids I have are going to be getting letters out of the program,” Bragg said. Only NJROTC students can participate in the air rifle team. Members of the small-bore rifle team are working hard on the National Rifle Association’s Winchester/ NRA Marksman Qualification Pro-

Specifically, the students are striving for good scores on the American Rifleman Three Position Stage Skill Course. Students working on this program must earn a total score of 300 points

based on the results of shooting from three different positions: standing, kneeling and prone. Based on their score, the program ranks students as an expert or distinguished expert. In order to achieve the expert classification, students have to score a 230 or higher, out of 300. For the distinguished expert classification, students need to do three trials and score a 230 on one, a 240 on the next, and a 250 on the third. Bragg said junior Jeff Bell, an NJROTC student, has gone through the program particularly quickly, and is now on his way to achieving the distinguished expert classification. “It’s really fun – we come out here and get to spend a couple of hours shooting and hanging out with friends,” Bell said. Freshman and NJROTC student Candace Roy joined the team last fall. “It’s an experience,” she said. “I’d never shot before — the first shot I was afraid, but it got fun.” Bragg said he is working hard to fund the program with the help of grants. The Mason County Sportsman’s Association has also stepped up, and donated 3,000 rounds of ammunition in January. “I think we’re lucky we’ve got a range and people willing to support us,” Bell said. Bragg said if these students do well in the Winchester qualification program, they could be eligible for college scholarships.

ow, the sky opened and the big yellow orb just hung around for a couple of days — it was nice. And I got to get out to the golf course on Sunday and actually hit a golf ball. I don’t think the ball went in the right direction all the time, but it was enjoyable trying. Then there were the two deer walking down my driveway. They had their eyes on my raspberry patch. I was outside working and the dogs were in the house, but I assumed I could chase the deer off myself — so I yelled. Nothing, they just kept walking toward me. Then I gave them my best whistle — it’s loud and sharp — but those two deer just kept coming. Thinking I should go let the dogs out, I By MIKE turned but then I CALLAGHAN started barking like a dog myself and it worked — those two deer scampered back up the driveway. Ruff, ruff. Okay, what are you going to do this weekend? A great idea would be to head down to the community hall for the indoor-outdoor garage sale. Mary Nichols and Barbara LaJune are heading up our annual event on Saturday. If you want a table give Mary or Barbara a call to see if there are still openings, but it might be too late. Judy and I have attended in the past and this year we will have a table of our own. The sale gives islanders a chance to get rid of treasures they no longer need and shoppers can find treasures they just can’t live without. Usually the hall is packed and filled with the excitement. The doors will open at 9 a.m. but it is a good idea to be a little early because there might be a line to get in. Remember, there is going to be a lot of good, great stuff. Throw some salt over your shoulder for luck as it looks like we will have a Friday the 13th this month. In fact that will be the date of the next Community Club meeting. And this will be a great meeting to attend, as it will be the annual chili cook-off. You too can bring a chili to the contest if you like, so get your favorite chilies ready for the ultimate taste test. All members are encouraged to participate, the only restriction being that you must have your chili at the clubhouse between 5-5:30 p.m. on April 13. All entrants must be in by 5:30 p.m. so that we can have all the samples set out by 6 p.m.

s I was leaving Pioneer Primary School last week after doing some work at the greenhouse, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice how busy the local mole population had been. The grassy area between the bus parking and Spencer Lake Rd was inundated with molehills. I remembered that Donald D. Tapio, Extension Educator based in Grays Harbor County had just sent a really lovely article about the biology of moles. Unfortunately, trapping has been illegal in Washington state since the passage of Initiative 713 in 2000, By JEANNE which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave REHWALDT the home gardener with many options. So todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column will acquaint you with the habits of the mole thanks to Donald D. Tapio. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question that moles continue to be a source of major frustration for home gardeners. All one has to do is look across the rural landscape to validate that moles enjoy living here in our coastal area perhaps even more than we do. They are notorious for the characteristic mounds of soil and tunnels they create in our gardens and lawns. Who hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pulled up a wilted plant only to find mole tunnels beneath? Moles are built for digging. With a bullet-shaped head and nose, powerful shoulder muscles and large, outward-facing front feet with strong claws, these earth miners literally swim through the soil in search of their favorite food, the earthworm. In fact, moles can dig surface tunnels at approximately 18 feet per hour and can travel through existing tunnels at about 80 feet per minute. If

it werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t for their raised feeding tunnels and occasional mounds of excavated dirt, we would likely praise them for their habits. In the process of digging, they mix and aerate soil, provide tunnels for water to reach down to plant roots, and eat many destructive insects including grubs, beetles and insect larvae. Vegetation occasionally makes up a small portion of the diet. Moles require large quantities of food. They spend perhaps half their lives searching for something to eat. The estimated yearly intake of food for a single mole is about 40 pounds. Moles travel extensively in searching for foodâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;up to half a mile a day. Most of this travel, fortunately, is back and forth in the tunnel and not in a straight line. Moles live most of their lives in underground runways. The low ridges pushed up as they move just under the soil surface in search of food may determine their presence. These runways, in heavily infested areas, form a vast interconnecting network. Some runways are major lanes of travel used by several moles. Major runways often appear under fence lines, under roads or along sidewalks. The main runways are usually about 6 inches under ground level, but may be as shallow as 2 inches or as deep as 20 inches. Extremely shallow runways, immediately under lawn turf, for instance, are feeder offshoots from a main runway and probably used only once. Moles contain twice the hemoglobin as other mammals of similar size. This allows them to breathe more easily in underground environments with low oxygen. Moles do come to the surface occasionally, mainly at night to search for food, water and nesting material. Migrations may occur overland as well. Moles are active throughout the

year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they do not hibernate. Mating takes place from late February to early March, producing young only once a year. The young, averaging three to the litter, are born from late March to early May. Young moles spend about one month in the nest and are nearly full-grown when they leave. They may sometimes be distinguished from adults by a shorter snout, slightly smaller size and pearly gray fur. Nests are constructed underground in a fortress-like arrangement in fence lines and well-drained, slightly raised sections of fields. Large molehills 30-40 inches in diameter or areas of intensive mound-building activity are probably nesting sites. Nest cavities average 9 inches in diameter and about 6 inches in height. Normally, three or four runways lead into the nest. Moles build nests of grasses or moss with a dry, inner pocket surrounded by wet, coarser grasses. Nests normally occur 5 to 18 inches under ground level. Although it may seem as though there are dozens of moles invading your lawn, there are likely only one or two. In general, they are at densities of only one to three per acre. Being loners, except during the breeding season, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question that in most home lawns, a few moles are raising a lot of turf. Unfortunately the mole is here to stay. The WSU Master Gardeners are holding the third in the series of Country Living classes from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Memorial Hall. The topic for the morning is Jim Freed with Mushrooms and Specialty Forest Products. The afternoon session is Kimberly Wheeler with Home Composting. If you would like to register for the Country Living class please call 427-9670 Ext. 680. Payment is accepted at the door.

Get To Know Alpine Way

Alpine residents have a wide choice of activities and outings, including concerts, cards, entertainment, gardening, church services and even car shows.

Compliments are common at Alpine and are very often about our “nice, professional, caring, dedicated staff.”

Private apartments are lower rent than a semi-private room in the nursing home.

Pets are welcome! Many Alpine residents enjoy having their own pets.

At Alpine Way, licensed nurses are on duty, on site, 24 hours a day so when mom or dad needs it, help is close-by.

The nicest people live at Alpine Way, where they enjoy private apartment living with private bathrooms and showers.

Food is more than just three meals a day, with everything from picnics and seasonal feasts -- comfort food to gourmet delicacies by Alpine’s awardwinning Chef Dan.

With everything at ground level, there are no steps to climb or confining elevators to enter. Alpine’s very design is heart-friendly.

Visitors Welcome!

Senior lunch has a new menu out for April. On Wednesday, April 4 they will be serving up baked chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, green beans and Jell-O with whipped cream. Then two weeks later on the April 18, you can look forward to taco lasagna, green salad and sherbet. These lunches are open to all over 50 and their guests. The hall gets packed with some 100 people showing up sometimes, so you might want to get there a little before noon. For being served this great food all that is asked is a small donation of $3. The Harstine Island Community Club thanks profusely all the volunteers who have worked over the past few months to bring our fourth season of Inquiring Minds to Mason County. Many hands make light work so, special recognition to Brenda and Dan Stainbrook and Carol and Bill Bush for managing the hall; Judie Schaaf and new committee members Gary and Mary Sue Steinman for flyer and brochure distribution; Bill Burrows for Power Point support and brochure design.

The committee wants to recognize the continued support of the Community Club, in partnership with Humanities Washington and the Washington State Legislature, for hosting unique cultural enrichment programs, which have been open and free to all. Lastly, kudos to the community, which has continued to support the series with the donations that have kept the program self-supporting and the communities splendid attendance. The Pioneer Kiwanis Crab and Clam Dinner was a success — thanks to all who attended. The food is always great and there is lots of excitement during the live auction. The dinner will be around the same time next year, so mark your calendar now. Donna Dowdney, of Harstine Island, will be one of the exhibitors at the Gail Harker Creative Studies Center in La Conner.

Fractals are complex geometric designs generated through mathematical formulas. You are invited to attend the exhibition from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 14 and 15.

She loved adventure and found it on the back of a motorcycle, in the wilds of Alaska and attending powwows with her daughter, Leah. Bobbie learned to hang-glide with her father, also an adventure seeker. Bobbie learned ed to read later in life through the Mason County literacy program andd was grateful for that opportunity.

Bobbie also loved her grandchildren, Ashley and Ben. Ashley worked close to Bobbie at Evergreen State College and little Ben could be seen riding his bike in downtown Shelton with his Grammy walking along to keep him safe. Bobbie worked as a cook for Evergreen State College and for the Fish Brewing Company in Olympia.

RISKY CONTRACT

Count shows decrease in beach waste Organizers lead effort to sample, catalogue items By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncounty.com

At a special meeting on March 8, the Belfair Water District Board of Commissioners voted to approve a motion placing district manager Dave Tipton on administrative leave. A recent Washington State Auditor’s Office report said that Tipton’s employment contract with the district may put the agency at risk.

Auditor says manager’s deal could hurt BWD HERALD STAFF A recently released Washington State Auditor’s Office report says that an employment contract with Belfair Water District Manager Dave Tipton may put the agency at risk. “Former District Board Members entered into a contract with the District Manager that has created a potential financial risk for the District,” the accountability audit states. At a special meeting on March 8, 2012, the current commissioners voted unanimously to approve a motion placing the district manager on paid administrative leave and also voted unanimously to approve a motion to have the district manager’s “contracts from 2010 and 2011 taken to litigation to have the contracts declared illegal and void,” according to minutes of the meeting. Attempts by the Belfair Herald to reach Tipton for comment were not successful.

The accountability audit notes that as of Jan. 31, 2012, the district had an unencumbered cash balance of $68,165. The report lays out three scenarios involving Tipton’s departure — termination, outsourcing of his position due to a merger, or voluntary departure with 30 days notice — that would leave the district operating at a deficit or force them to raise customers’ rates. Those three scenarios, laid out in the accountability audit based on Tipton’s contract that was approved Aug. 9, 2011, include the following: If the board terminates the district manager’s position for any reason except for conviction of a crime, he will receive a maximum $256,767 in compensation, due in lump sum within five days, including: n Three year’s pay totaling $219,240 n Up to 270 days of medical in-

surance totaling $10,899 n Accrued vacation leave of $13,501 as of Jan. 31, 2012 n Accrued sick leave of $13,127 as of Jan. 31, 2012 If the district manager’s position is outsourced due to a merger, he will receive a maximum of $183,687 in compensation, in lump sum, including: n Two year’s pay totaling $146,160 n Up to 270 days of medical insurance totaling $10,899 n Accrued vacation leave of $13,501 as of Jan. 31, 2012 n Accrued sick leave of $13,127 as of Jan. 31, 2012 If the district manager voluntarily leaves the position with a minimum of 30 days advance notice, he will receive a maximum of $157,059, including: n Two year’s pay totaling $146,160 n Up to 270 days of medical insurance totaling $10,899

Port of Allyn looks to update plan, commission districts By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncounty.com

The Port of Allyn Commission discussed an update to its comprehensive plan, and amending its commissioner districts at a workshop meeting on Friday. While the port commission updated its commission districts in Spring 2011, it may soon update them again. “We redistricted last year and I felt that the numbers would not be accurate and we would need to do it again,” Commissioner Jean Farmer said. The Mason County Auditor’s Office sent the Port of Allyn six suggestions to help the port adjust its commission districts. Among other problems with the current districts, Commissioner Randy Neatherlin said his district crosses the Hood Canal and is not contiguous. “Just because it’s allowed doesn’t mean it’s correct,” he said. We want to make the districts as compact as possible,” he said. While Mason County updates its commission districts with the census every 10 years, Neatherlin said

The Port of Allyn Commission is considering new commissioner district boundaries. Commissioners Judy Scott and Randy Neatherlin favor the fourth option suggested by the Mason County Auditor’s Office, shown here. according to Washington State Law, port districts are allowed to update their com-

mission districts as needed. Commissioners Neatherlin and Judy Scott felt that

one option in particular proposed by the county auditor’s office, option 4, would be best for the district. In the fourth option proposed by the Mason County Auditor’s office, District 1, represented by Judy Scott, would take up much of the north half of the port district. District 2 would surround the tip of the Hood Canal, and would extend along the water toward Union. District 3, represented by Randy Neatherlin would take up the southeast portion of the port’s area, including the top portion of the Case Inlet. Farmer, however, wanted to do more research before voting to commit to a new district map. “I was not comfortable with the difference in numbers between commissioner Neatherlin and my district,” she said. While the difference between Farmer and Scott’s district populations was 10, See Port on page BH-4

Last week Janis McNeal, program coordinator for Washington Sea Grant, spent two days on the beach, but she wasn’t just catching some sun. McNeal spent March 22 at Potlatch State Park, and last Friday at Walker County Park and Belfair State Park leading an effort to sample and catalogue plastic and related garbage on beaches. “Marine plastics are an issue because many animals out in the ocean eat plastic without knowing it,” she said. Plastic products like golf balls can leach out toxins that are harmful to marine life, McNeal said. The Mason County Office of Washington Sea Grant began this sampling in partnership with the Port Townsend Marine Science Center three years ago. Recent samplings have shown a decrease in non-organic beach debris over the three years of samplings by Sea Grant, she said. “We just don’t know if it’s because we sample in the same locations or if there’s less debris,” she said. “We like to think there’s less debris.” Organized beach cleanups, as well as more awareness of recycling have helped improve beach cleanliness, McNeal said. “It does make a difference,” she said. “I think people are getting much better about recycling and not just dropping it … It’s nice to know that there’s less and less every year.” While samplings at Mason County beaches have largely turned up small pieces of debris in recent years, McNeal said the Port Townsend Marine Center found large amounts of pre-production plastic pellets, called “nurdles,” after it started beach sampling through a 2007 grant. “They started doing this program Puget Soundwide,” she said.

Every six months, Janis McNeal, program coordinator for the Washington Sea Grant samples sand from Mason County beaches to look for bits of plastic and other garbage and catalogue it.

Although available funding has continued to shrink, McNeal said Washington Sea Grant decided to continue the plastics sampling in Mason County. “We continue to monitor because it’s important to us,” she said. “It doesn’t impact our budget so much that we can’t do it.” Every March and October, Sea Grant staff comb select Mason County beaches, using GPS to locate select patches of beach. “We go to the same coordinates so we’re always monitoring the same locations,” McNeal said. From each location, she collects samples of the top later of pebbles and beach debris. Then after washing off sand and screening out larger particles, she sifts through the remaining material at the Washington Sea Grant office in Shelton, picking out everything that’s not organic. “We keep everything … mostly I find glass,” she said. Last year, McNeal found everything from bits of foam from docks to glass from beer bottles, light bulb filaments and at Walker Park, bits of green, blue and pink aquarium rocks. “What we’re doing is building a database of beach plasitics,” McNeal said. “It’s all beach pollution and it gets collected.”

North Mason Relay schedules fundraisers By NATALIE JOHNSON natalie@masoncounty.com

North Mason Relay for Life is working hard to come back strong in 2012 after bringing in record donations in 2011. “I think we have real good support (in North Mason). We exceeded our goal last year,” said Bruce Veitch, North Mason Relay for Life event chair for 2012. In 2011, North Mason Relay brought in $85,000 — $10,000 more than its fundraising goal. “We reached our goal at

the event,” Veitch said. “We take money in until August.” This year, North Mason Relay has set its Relay for June 8 and 9 and its fundraising goal for $83,000. As of this week, the group has already raised $9,455, not counting sponsorships, which are due on April 15, Veitch said. Groups around North Mason are scheduling fundraising events.

The North Mason Coalition of Churches and Community’s third annual crab feed fundraiser on Saturday was a success, drawing more than 190 people to the Community at the Farm at Water’s Edge in Belfair. The event reached its fundraising goal of $4,000 to help pay for the coalition’s community meals and its Food for Kids backpack program. Kathy Davis, who co-chaired the event with Liz Corliss-Clark, experienced her first coalition crab feed this weekend. “I just started in November attending and participating,” she said. “It’s been a really rewarding experience. It’s a marvelous cause.” Coalition President Lynn Coffman said the group serves between 60,000 and 70,000 meals annually in the North Mason area. The coalition does two different meal programs. First, the coalition

offers its Wednesday Free Lunch every Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall of the Belfair Community Baptist Church. The coalition also hosts its Sunday Supper from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the last Sunday of every month at the Theler Community Center in Belfair. The crab feed also helps support the coalition’s Food for Kids program. “We have two parts of that, one is our weekend backpack program,” Coffman said. “We have 115 kids who get the equivalent of four meals.” The program provides backpacks full of food for qualifying students for weekends. Students can also qualify for breakfast and lunch during school vacations for the hundreds of North Mason students signed up for free or reduced breakfast and lunch. “Our goal is to try and replace those meals on the days that they’re not in schools,” Coffman said. “It’s for a whole week, but it’s the equivalent at least of 14 meals.” Both Coffman and Davis said the event was a major success for the co-

alition. “We had a full house and were scrambling for chairs,” Coffman said. “People had a wonderful time — they came early, they stayed late, they enjoyed the crab.” Davis said the coalition purchased 255 large crabs for the event. The Selah Inn donated macaroni and cheese to the event, Bremerton’s Airport Diner donated coleslaw dressing and the Belfair Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints donated 400 dinner rolls to the event, she said. In addition to the food, the event also included a silent auction, with many items donated to the community. Davis said she was encouraged by how many people turned out to support the event. “The people and the women are just great,” she said. “Just the experience of doing this and meeting the people from our community and how they embrace us … and how supportive they are. It gives you a good feeling all over.”

Jed gets knocked out the second round in a boxing match held in Bremerton. Kenneth gets upset because Ethelle plans a wedding date for them and doesn’t tell him. Kenneth pulls April Fools tricks on Mary. Irene and Mary dye a bunch of Easter eggs and it rained so hard on Easter they just sat inside and ate them. It was a busy week 78 years ago in Mary’s life. —

Thursday, March 29, 1934

A very quiet day in the store. Sam went to Tacoma and was gone all day. I cleaned the bedrooms in the house and cleaned behind hardware counter. Filled up candy and cigarette stands. Kenneth and Gordon worked on the shelves. We are out of a lot of stuff so can’t do much. Kenneth’s sister and Bob Conklin By CLYDENE plan to marry HOSTETLER Sunday. Ethelle and Kenneth would be wed too. Kenneth was all up in the air because Ethelle had planned a wedding date without him knowing it. Henry and Laurice went to Seattle but then they go many times on account of business. Kenneth washed the windows and showcases in the store today and they look very nice. Put the new cover on the couch out in the restroom. It surely looks very clean out there now. I have to give the floor one more coat. Just called Tony back from Oscar Mickelson’s. He was over there playing with Alice’s dog. Erma was over today working on her bookkeeping. My, she is full of fun. I sure get a kick out of her.

Saturday, March 31, 1934

Janie Howell and June Aris were down again today. Guess yesterday must have been fun so they came down again. Ethelle was here and Kenneth’s brother so quite a lot work was done on the shelves. The sure worked hard. At six o’clock we had the drawing on the car and I guess there must’ve been over 150 people in the store. My, there was a crowd. Nichols got the winning number. My, he was pleased. We surely were busy from four until seven. It was a good thing we ate at four. Vera and Cole came over and ate about six. We all went to Victor to the dance and surely had a nice time. Irene gave Clark the

Kenneth put sugar in the salt shaker and salt in the sugar bowl and I sure got stung on my first swallow of coffee. How Vera laugh. Sam had to get up early to get Don started to work on the piling down on the main boom. So I didn’t get much sleep. Left for Holly at 11:15. Took my dad up a basket of Easter eggs. Then we got my mother over in Bremerton and arrived at Holly about one. We ate a big lunch. Everything looks so good. Vina took a few pictures and I took one of Vera and she took one of me. Walked down to see Florence’s baby. She is called Diana and is real sweet. Aunt Polly, Rowley, Violet, Barbara, Mina, Henry, Fritz, Vera, Cole, Ms. Webster, Albert, Christine, her daughter, Florence Orville and Joe and Katie and the children, my mother, grandpa, grandma and Sam and I were there. Played 500 for a while and visited the rest of the day. It rained so hard we couldn’t hide the eggs outside so we proceeded to eat them inside. We drove to Belfair by way of DeWatto and stopped in at Betze’s. Saw Mrs. Betzes, Dave, his wife and Howard. Vina and Henry stopped there too. Home to Belfair and talked a while and everyone left for home so Sam and I took my mother back to Bremerton. Kenneth, Ethel and Jed rode in with us. They stopped off at the hospital so Sam, mama and I saw Katherine Hepburn in “Trigger.” We sure enjoyed it. It was a dandy picture too. Saw Don and Oscar in the show too. Home late to bed. Jane Howell and her chum were down again

Monday, April 2, 1934

Today I sure had to clean house as it was fearfully dirty. Sam went to Shelton and was gone until seven in the evening. I guess he visited everyone in Shelton while he was there. I worked on my post office report and got it nearly finished. It was a wonderful day out. I’d like to have gone on a hike. Our bed fell down so we had to fix it up. To bed late.

Tuesday, April 3, 1934

Cleaned house and sent away my post office report. Then I change prices and painted the window trim on the restroom red. Cleaned some clothes in cleaner and cleaned up all my post office work. Was busy all day. Saw in the paper where the bids on the new road will be let on April 17. Helen Frances had her baby last Friday but it only lived 12 hours. Gordon put a stake up by my poplar tree. It surely smells sweet when the leaves are coming up. Baby cut his horn quite badly on the fence. I hope it doesn’t spoil the looks of his horns. Sam went to Seattle today but didn’t get home until late. I wonder if the road crew will weigh his truck when he comes along. That is the latest development in the new code of the road – no overloading. They didn’t do it tonight though. Irene and Rudy went into Shelton today. Rudy must feel pretty good with the spotlight on the car.

Wednesday, April 4, 1934

Today was a lovely warm day. I cleaned up two of the gardens and they look real nice. Painted a magazine stand Chinese red. Put out all the special sheets by myself. It was some job.

Sam went to Tacoma early and got home at two and delivered up to my dad’s. Then he got Mr. and Mrs. Nichols and took them in to the drawing on the car. Gordon delivered feed to Mrs. Jensen and worked on the shelves. Not very busy in the store. Very quiet for this time of the month. Mrs. Orr was over today and brought me some bleeding hearts. They are very pretty. Mrs. Alexander was in today. She took in my white dress to be dyed yellow. I hope it looks nice when it’s done. — I loved Easter when I was a kid. My mom would always buy my little sister and me a new outfit and we would go to church. We would spend an evening sitting around the kitchen table and dye eggs using those colored tablets and vinegar. You didn’t like the smell so much but ignored it because you were having so much fun. Baskets full of dyed eggs, chocolate bunnies, peeps and colored jelly-beans placed in the fake plastic grass. Those were the days. Wish the Easter bunny still came to my house.

Today I got up real early and got my work all done before 9:15 when Rudolph came up after me. I took eggs and dye down to his place. Irene and I dyed about seven-dozen eggs all told. We sure had lots of fun. We went down to McGill’s and had Mrs. Barter wave our hair. My, she does lovely work. After that we dyed eggs and dried our hair at the same time. Home before one and sorted mail. Got lunch and made three apple pies and one lemon cake. They turned out fine. Sam had to take Sorenson into Port Orchard and Kenneth got off early to see his brother Jed box in Bremerton. I went to the party at Curl’s with Rices. Took chicken, tomato and lettuce sandwiches. They were very, very good too. Sam and Mrs. Rice came down later. Everyone had a nice time. Seven tables played at 500. The three ladies whose birthday it was received a Pyrex pie plate. Mrs. Curl, Mrs. Culbertson and Mrs. Springer. Home very late. Kenneth’s brother came home with him. He got knocked out the second round.

American Legion posts set for fundraiser The Belfair American Legion Post 200 plans to play poker for a cause on April 14 with its One Hand Helps Many Hands Texas Hold’em Fundraiser. Sign-in for the event begins at 11 a.m. on April 12, at the Eagles building, 80 N.E. Alder Creek Lane in Belfair, and play begins at noon. “The goal is to have fun with poker hands so the post can raise funds to assist local veterans and their families in the North Mason areas,” said Sue Salt, chaplain and chair for the American Legion Post 200. The Belfair American Legion includes Post 200 the Auxiliary and the recently established Sons of the Legion, Salt said. These organizations all pitch in to help organize fundraisers. Service officers will be available to assist any veteran or family of a veteran with questions and needs or to sign up and join Post 200. “We invite veterans and families to drop by and meet some our members as well as play a little poker with us,” Salt said. The event’s entry fee is $25 per player, and the tournament offers re-buys up to the first break. The final prize ladder will be determined by how many paying participants enter, with a guarantee of $100 for first place, $50 for second place and $25 for third place. There will be a prize for the high and as well. The North Mason Eagles have hosted fundraisers for Post 200 in the past and always offer great food and drinks to players and guests, Salt said. The American Legion will accept cash, checks or money orders for buy-ins. The Eagles only accept cash for meals and drinks. There is an ATM on site if needed. For more information or to pre-register contact Sue or Chris at 275-5682, Steve at 275-2265 or Ron or Cheryl at 275-6267.

Twanoh Grange, Fire District 3 hold dinner at Grapeview Fire Hall The members of the Twanoh Grange and the Volunteer Firefighters Association of Mason County Fire District 3 teamed up to present the first Taco/Potato Bar Dinner, March 3, at the Grapeview Fire Hall. The Twanoh Grange held a spaghetti dinner last year and had plans to host a dinner each year. This year the two associations had a great time working together serving over 150 people who supported the efforts and enjoyed a meal. Organizers said the event was fun for all involved and was such a success, it is now planned to be held annually as a show of appreciation for our community. The hope is the dinner becomes as popular as the Volunteer Firefighters Association Pancake Breakfasts that are held every Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend. Twanoh Grange said they give thanks to the Fire District 3 Volunteer Firefighters Association (VFFA) and to all who attended the Taco/Potato Bar Dinner. This year the positive relationship the Grange enjoys with our Firefighters resulted in the event evolving into a joint venture with the VFFA to highlight both groups’ support of the community. Proceeds will support programs of both organizations. The Twanoh Grange was established on May 27, 1946. The grange participates in both the Mason Area and Puyallup Fairs with displays centered around its agricultural and home science roots. Recent projects include support for the Community Coalition of Churches lunch and backpack programs. Annually, the grange provides dictionaries with added historical and geographic information to each 3rd grade student in support of education.

Volunteers recently planted some 6,000 trees at the Irene Davis Preserve in Belfair. Those that helped out included Tim Wilson, father-daughter team Dennis Ashe and Melissa Ashe, brothers Brett Daugherty and Zach Daugherty, Ryan Dennis, Derrick Folwell and Jesse Mottinger.

Volunteers plant 6,000 native trees in Belfair A volunteer crew recently planted 6,000 Pacific Northwest native trees, shrubs, and wetland plants at the Irene Davis Union River Preserve in Belfair. The work took place over two consecutive weekends from February 25 to March 4 and served as one of the primary accomplishments in the third year of a Forterra, formerly Cascade Land Conservancy, restoration project at the preserve. Forterra purchased the 56-acre Mason County property in 2006. The preserve provides habitat for federally listed Puget Sound Chinook and Hood

Canal summer chum salmon, along with steelhead, coho, Pacific lamprey and cutthroat trout. It also provides wildlife habitat for animals such as black bear. Officials note that planting native plants provides great ecological benefit by improving water quality, widening wildlife corridors and lessening erosion and the spread of invasive weeds. Plant protectors were installed to protect the trees from deer and competing grass. The protectors are very visible from State Route 300 and drew the attention, honks and waves of drivers pass-

Since then, he’s been hooked. I’ve been writing checks for years. Three years ago I decided to go out … I had a heck of a good time,” he said. “You kind of had a satisfied feeling when you get done.” “We start at 7 at night (on Friday) and go until the next day,” he said.

The work was accomplished with the help of a tree planting crew led by Tim Wilson. Members of the crew were a father daughter team, Dennis Ashe and Melissa Ashe, brothers Brett Daugherty and Zach Daugherty along with Ryan Dennis, Derrick Folwell and Jesse Mottinger.

Each year, the event takes place at North Mason High School. The event has an opening ceremony with music and a guest speaker at 7 p.m. on Friday, June 8, this year. “We always try to pick a cancer survivor who’s local,” Neal said. “It’s not only educational and fundraising but we like to be entertaining as well.” Neal said the North Mason Relay draws dozens of volunteers and supporters each year. This year 29 teams have already signed up. In 2011, 41 teams gathered at North Mason High school for the event, four of which were high school teams. “A lot of times these events tend to be older people touched by cancer,” he said. “Last year I think we had four high school teams which was really good.” For more information on North Mason Relay, visit www.relayforlifeofnorthmason.org.

Sports North Mason girls’ tennis serves up win By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com

In its first three matches of the season, the North Mason girls’ tennis team won one match and lost two. On March 20, the Lady Bulldogs lost at Bremerton 4-3. No. 2 singles player Hannah Phillips won 6-3, 6-3, No. 3 singles player Bree Abplanalp won 6-2, 6-2 and No. 1 doubles team Katrina Martin and Emma Urdahl lost their first set 5-7, but came back to win 6-3, 6-3. No. 1 singles player Jennifer Hicks lost 0-6, 0-6. “Jennifer played probably one of the better players in the state,” head coach Cliff Harris said. No. 2 doubles team Shannon Cox and Kristi Rieker lost 2-6, 2-6, No. 3 doubles team Sarah Newton and Kara Tygart lost 0-6, 1-6 and No. 4 doubles team Macy Martyak and Lindsey Schwab lost 0-6, 1-6. “We played pretty well,” Harris said. “It was our first match and we hadn’t been outside in one week while it was Bremerton’s second match. It was rainy and cold; not a good day for tennis, weather-wise.” On March 21, the Lady Bulldogs lost at home against Kingston 7-0. “Kingston is one of the better teams in the state with 10 veteran seniors,” Harris said. “Tennis is pretty much their love.” For the singles players No. 1 Phillips lost 1-6, 0-6, No. 2 Hicks

lost 0-6, 1-6 and No. 3 Abplanalp lost 0-6, 5-7. For the doubles teams, No. 1 Martin and Lexi Zevnick lost 0-6, 3-6, No. 2 Urdahl and Rieker lost 0-6, 2-6, No. 3 Cox and Newton lost 0-6, 2-6 and No. 4 Martyak and Tygart lost 1-6, 1-6. Harris said it’s difficult for North Mason to compete against a team like Kingston. “We pick our rackets up in March and they’re playing quite a bit year-round,” he said. “They’re a really fine team that’s wellcoached and plays a lot of tennis.” Finally, on Friday, the Lady Bulldogs defeated Port Townsend and Chimacum 5-2. For the singles players, No. 1 Phillips won 6-0, 6-1 and No. 2 Hicks won 6-3, 6-0. No. 3 singles player Newton lost 5-7, 3-6. For the doubles teams, No. 1 Martin and Zevnick won 6-1, 6-2, No. 2 Urdahl and Rieker won 6-2, 6-3 and No. 4 Cox and Jandy Fawatpetch won 7-5, 7-5. No. 3 doubles team Martyak and Tygart lost 5-7, 3-6. “We’re improving every match,” Harris said. “We didn’t have Bree against Port Townsend so we had to do some shuffling.” He said the team needs to work on consistency in its lineup but added that the players who are staying in the same position each match have been improving. “Hopefully we can get out and play this week,” Harris said. The Lady Bulldogs are scheduled to play next at 4 p.m. tomorrow at Klahowya Secondary School.

Kayla Gascoyne hit 2-3 with two singles, one home run and four RBI, Johnson hit 2-3 with two RBI, Alyssa Gascoyne hit 2-4 with two singles and one RBI, Frohlich hit 2-3 with one RBI and Cassie Swanstrom hit 2-3. “At the end of the first week of league play, I am satisfied with where we are sitting,” said North Mason head coach Molleigh Fusare. “I was disappointed with our play at Kingston but finishing the week 2-1 in league and playing 3A Peninsula tough isn’t bad.” She said the team is still working through some growing pains, as it is a young team with many players in positions or roles. “The girls are working hard and I am happy with their progress,” Fusare said. The team is scheduled to play next at 4:15 p.m. today at home against Port Angeles. “Port Angeles is sitting at 2-0 with wins over Port Townsend and Olympic, so I am sure they will be a tough opponent today, but I look forward to the game,” Fusare said.

North Mason boys’ soccer wins By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com

The North Mason boys’ soccer team won two of its three games last week. On Tuesday, the Bulldogs outscored Olympic 6-1. “They did a good job performing consistently, which is hard when you’ve got a big lead,” said North Mason head soccer coach Matt Friesen. Junior Colin Ralston scored four goals for the Bulldogs while freshman Daniel Wiseman and junior Noah Wilson both scored one. On Thursday, the Bulldogs lost to Bremerton 5-2. “We did okay,” Friesen said. “We ended up giving up four goals from set pieces which I wasn’t happy

The North Mason boys’ and girls’ golf teams split with Olympic last Thursday. The boys’ team defeated Olympic 245-253. The top golfer was Andy Renne with a score of 45. Following Renne were Tommy Renne and Josh Fredrickson each with a score of 49. Austin Makowski and Cody Champine rounded out the team effort with scores of 51. Par for the course — Rolling Hills Golf Course — was 35. Olympic defeated the NMHS girls’

golf team 321-328. The top golfer for the girls was Andi Rasmussen with a score of 60. Brooke Mills scored a 64 while Stephanie Jones scored a 65. While Courtney Kennedy scored a 69, April Griffiths and Sarah Sawyer rounded out the team effort, each with a score of 70. “The highlight of the match was that it did not rain or snow during it,” head coach Martha Music said. Since the team has no matches scheduled during spring break, the boys and girls are scheduled to golf next at 3 p.m. on April 12 at LakeLand Village in Allyn against Klahowya Secondary School.

about because you need to set up and defend those.” Ralston scored both North Mason goals. Friesen said that after the Bremerton game and before the team’s game against Port Townsend on Friday, he talked to the boys about set pieces and defending the goal. “They seemed to get the message because we scored three and gave up none on set pieces against Port Townsend,” Friesen said. The Bulldogs played a strong first half on Friday which led to the team’s eventual 4-2 victory. Freshman Nick Sebastian scored the team’s first goal while Ralston scored the second and fourth goals and Wiseman scored the third goal, Friesen said. “We didn’t put together a good second half, but I

think you can credit some of that to Port Townsend and some to us playing a little lax with a 3-0 halftime score,” he said. As the team wraps up its preseason and prepares for Olympic League games after spring break, Friesen said there are a couple of things it needs to work on. “Obviously set pieces were a big issue this week but that’s usually something you need to work on during the preseason,” he said. “We also need to be able to maintain a level of play so we can cruise to wins rather than give up goals and make it harder for ourselves.” With the school on spring break next week, the Bulldogs are not scheduled to play next until 6:45 p.m. on April 12 at home against Port Angeles.

The North Mason baseball team has been having trouble hitting. On March 16, the Bulldogs (1-6) lost to North Kitsap 12-2. “We played pretty well at first,” Geyer said. “It was actually closer than the score. It seemed like every mistake we made hurt us.” Jordan hit 2-3 with one run, Riley McKean hit 1-3 with one run and a RBI and Hunter Hohmann hit 1-3. Young started at pitcher and gave up three earned runs. On March 19, the Bulldogs lost 5-3 to Olympic. “We only gave up two earned runs,” Geyer said. “We only had a couple of errors, but they scored on them.”

McKean started at pitcher and received the loss for the Bulldogs. Sam Sandell hit 1-2 with a three run triple and three RBI and Young hit 2-4 with one double. On March 21, the Bulldogs lost to Kingston 12-4. “That game we were down 8-0 after two innings,” Geyer said. “We played even after that.” Andrew Burggraaf pitched the first two innings. McKean hit 1-4 with one RBI, Tanner Anderson hit 1-3 with two RBI and Morgan Grewell hit 1-2 with two runs. “I was more positive after that game than I was after the Olympic game because the guys didn’t quit on us,” Geyer said. On March 22, the Bulldogs lost to Peninsula 11-1. “We did not play good defense,” Geyer said. “The first

six runs were unearned, so they weren’t against Sandell, who started pitching for us. He gave us four good innings and then I put in Justin Hill.” Young hit 2-3 with one run and Schoonhoven hit 2-2. “They were a very good team,” Geyer said. The team’s game on Friday against Port Townsend Geyer described as “a heartbreaker.” North Mason lost 1-0 to Port Townsend. “They scored one in the fourth inning on a double play we didn’t get,” Geyer said. “Their pitcher threw a one-hitter and ours threw a three-hitter.” Young threw 66 pitches the entire game, striking out six batters. Burggraaf got the only NMHS hit and hit 1-2 for the day.

Fastpitch shuts out Mt. Tahoma

Lady Highclimbers struggling early in the season with three losses in a row By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com

Shelton’s Brynnen Beierle looks for her pitch against Olympia’s Nicki Schroeder.

After having three tough games, the Shelton fastpitch team shutout Mt. Tahoma last week. On March 21, Bellarmine shut out the Lady Highclimbers 10-0. “Their pitcher, Courtney Schwan, had nine strikeouts against us,” Shelton head fastpitch coach Kim Goldsby said. “She’s one of the better pitchers in the league.” Goldsby said one thing the Shelton girls did well was that they did not have any errors against Bellarmine. Kylie Schnitzer and Lynae Brown both hit one single. On March 22, the Lady Highclimbers lost to Bremerton 13-10. “We should have killed that team but we had four physical errors and 12 mental errors,” Goldsby said. Despite the errors and the loss, Goldsby said the Lady Highclimbers outplayed Bremerton. “I made a pitching change,” she said. “Morgan Mitchell started pitching and I should have changed up about four batters before I did. Brown shut them down after that, though.” Kelsey Albaugh hit 4-5 and Jordanne Krumpols hit two triples. On Friday, the Lady Highclimbers lost at home to Olympia 16-0 at Mason County Recreation Area (MCRA). “We could not hit the ball,” Goldsby said. “It was ugly.” She said the Olympia pitcher, Nicki Schroeder, had five strikeouts against Shelton and three of them were looking strikes.

“I think Olympia’s a better team than Bellarmine,” Goldsby said. “They have better hitters and their fielding is excellent.” Finally, on MonMONDAY: day, the Lady HighShelton ........ 20 climbers had a reMt.

Tahoma was to get out of a double play situation,” Goldsby said. “I was really torn by this game. It’s no fun losing 16-0 but it’s also no fun winning 20-0.” She said the Shelton girls hit the ball well, despite being walked 15 times. Albaugh hit 3-3, Krumples hit 2-3 with one home run, Schnitzer hit 3-5 with one double and Brown hit 2-4. “Everyone got a hit,” Goldsby said. “Almost all of the girls scored twice and a couple of them scored three times.” If there is no poor weather, the Lady Highclimbers are scheduled to play at 4 p.m. today at Curtis High School. “We beat Curtis last year,” Goldsby said. “I really don’t know what they have this year but Olympia beat them handily and we didn’t play to our potential against Olympia, so we’ll see how we do.” She said she and the team appreciate how packed the stands have been at the Lady Highclimbers’ home games so far this season.

Paul Bunyan is normally described as a larger-thanlife man who wields an ax and has a huge blue ox. This year, Paul Bunyan also loves soccer. Shelton senior Mike Bowman was chosen to be Paul Bunyan in the Forest Festival Court this year and Mike he is also Bowman a yearround soccer player with an offer to play in college. “I wanted to be Paul Bunyan for a couple of different reasons,” Bowman said. “First, it’s another opportunity to serve my community and give back what they’ve given me. Second, the scholarship appealed to me and third, I have a massive Paul Bunyan beard I can grow.” Bowman is already working on that beard and says it isn’t bothering him. “During No Shave November, I had about twice as much as this, so I’m used to it,” he said. Bowman has been playing soccer since he was 3 after his father put him in a recreation league. “When I was 9, I tried out for a team with Blackhills Football Club in Olympia that was for kids two years older than me,” Bowman said. Since joining the Blackhills Football Club, Bowman has been playing soccer year-round. He plays with the club during the fall and winter, is a varsity player for Shelton High School in the spring and plays in tournaments during the summer. “I love soccer so the more I play, the more I like it because it’s more time with the ball,” Bowman said. “It’s hectic being on more than one team at a time, but I love it.” He manages the multiple teams by taking a break from Blackhills for the spring, he said. “I think a lot of the time, people don’t look at soccer as a mental game,” Bowman said. “But it is. It’s a lot like chess. You have to make plays and you have to position yourself in places that are sometimes even four positions ahead for the strategy.” Though the boys’ soccer season started earlier this month, Bowman has already received a scholarship See Athlete on page C-4

Shelton boys’ golf takes down Timberline Highclimbers playing at Alderbrook Golf Course today By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com

The Shelton boys’ golf team defeated Timberline 62-34 on March 22. “The kids played pretty well considering it was the first match,” Shelton head boys’ golf coach Mark Jensen said. “Indian Summer Golf Course is rated the

third most difficult course in the state.” Despite how tough the course was and how many Shelton golfers had never seen it before, Jensen said there were five golfers with scores under 44. “That’s pretty good,” he said. Alec Martinson was the medalist for this match with a best score of 38, which was two over par. “He bogeyed his last two holes,”

Jensen said. “He had a very good day.” The boys are scheduled to play at 2:45 p.m. today at Alderbrook Golf Course in Union against Capital. “The team will hopefully do pretty well,” Jensen said. “With the bad weather, we’ve done some conditioning so we may be in better shape than we usually are at this point in the season.”

The Shelton boys’ rugby 15s team lost on the road last week. On Saturday, the boys lost to Gig Harbor 59-26. “The boys played a strong match against Gig Harbor, who is currently undefeated in Washington state,” Shelton head boys’ rugby coach Chris Nesmith said.

“They are performing as though they have played for years,” Nesmith said. Cyrus Larsen, Brian Nault, Walter Johnson and Jethro Wily each scored one five-point try. Levi Stratton made three conversion kicks for six points. The boys’ team has the next two Saturdays off. The team is scheduled to play next at 1 p.m. on April 14 at home at Oakland Bay Junior High against Skagit Valley.

He said the Shelton boys were overwhelmed with Gig Harbor’s quick decision-making on the field. “Harbor had a very experienced side, including athletes from various parts of the world who have been playing rugby their entire lives,” Nesmith said. “With only six returners, Shelton’s team of rookies held Harbor to their tightest game this season.” He said the new players on Shelton’s team have been learning the game very quickly.

The Shelton boys’ soccer team lost last weekend. On Saturday, Olympia shut out the Highclimbers 3-0. “That doesn’t represent the game,” Shelton head boys’ soccer coach Isaiah Herrera said.

“We had control and we just couldn’t score.” Despite the loss, Herrera said the team controlled the game. “We passed well and defensively we slowed them down and controlled their attack,” he said. The team was originally scheduled to play Central Kitsap on March 21 but that game

was rescheduled to April 24, due to the condition of the field at SHS. The Highclimbers are scheduled to play at 7 p.m. tonight against Mt. Tahoma at Highclimber Stadium. Herrera said he plans to give the team some time to relax this week before they have to get started again on Wednesday.

Lady Highclimbers play at Gig Harbor today emily@masoncounty.com

The Shelton girls’ tennis team lost one match and won one match in the last week. On March 22, the Lady Highclimbers lost at Yelm 5-0. “There were a lot of close matches,” Shelton assistant tennis coach Dann Gagnon said. “Yelm got an exchange student (Ester Hotova from Slovakia) that will definitely be seeded.” He said that when a team has a number one player like Yelm’s exchange student, that helps the entire team, since the player who would normally play at No. 1 singles shifted down to No. 2 singles and so forth.

O n Monday, the Lady H i g h climbers defeated Central Kitsap 3-2. “ T h e Yemas t e a m Ly played very well,” Gagnon said. “Central Kitsap is like us, a nonclub-playing school.” Shelton won all three doubles matches and lost the two singles matches. “I think the varsity played well,” sophomore Yemas Ly said. “Our singles struggled a little bit. Rebecca (Dickson) and Wil-

low (Walker) both tired hard but were short of winning.” Ly played on the No. 2 doubles team with Desirae Klokkevold. Ly said she thought the doubles teams played well against Central Kitsap. “We did well in communication and consistency with forehands and served better,” she said. The Lady Highclimbers’ next match is at 3:30 p.m. today at Gig Harbor. “I think we’ll do fine,” Ly said. “It won’t be easy but I think we can win.” She said she thinks this will be a good season for Shelton. “We have a lot of young people but it’ll be good,” she said.

Kent shuts out Shelton girls’ rugby By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com

The Shelton girls’ rugby 15s team had a tough game last weekend. On Sunday, Kent shut out the girls 31-0. “The girls played well against fifth-inthe-nation Kent,” Shelton head girls’ rugby coach Chris Nesmith said. “Kent has not had as tough of a match in Washington state since their inception in 1991.” He said that Kent was the first girls’ rugby team in the United States. “They are a very experienced side, recently returning from an international tournament in California where they beat Fall-

brook, the number one team in the nation,” Nesmith said. He said the Shelton girls kept Kent under pressure that Kent is not used to seeing in Washington state. “Normally, Kent pulls their starting side at the end of the first half,” Nesmith said. “Because of the pressure they were put under from Shelton, they needed to keep the game up at a high level. The Shelton girls are back to finding their stride at a national level game and are preparing for their match against Rainier Plateau on Sunday.” The team is set to play at 1 p.m. Sunday at Oakland Bay Junior High against Rainier Plateau.

Athlete Continued from page C-1 to play in college. “Originally, I went to a tryout down in Oregon and I then I went to a showcase with my club team and a couple of colleges called me,” Bowman said. “Northwest University in Kirkland asked me to come to a tryout in January and they offered me a position on the spot. Then they made me a financial offer both for academics and athletics.” Bowman’s offer is twothirds athletic and onethird academic, amounting to roughly half the cost of each year at Northwest. Next fall, Bowman will enter the university with an associate’s degree in

art, as he is a student at South Puget Sound Community College right now. He said he is planning on majoring in communications at Northwest. “Communications opens up a lot of fields,” Bowman said. While at SHS, Bowman keeps his GPA above a 3.5 and is involved in Key Club, he said. “I also do a lot of community service stuff with my church,” he said. “I go to the First Baptist Church in Shelton and through it I participate a lot in doing yard work for the Boaz project.” He said the Boaz project is a program for church members to go around Mason County to help people who don’t have the ability to do yard work and landscaping in their yards.

“In a couple of weeks, I’m also going to Nicaragua to build community centers,” Bowman said. Another church program he is involved in is the Approved Workers Are Not Ashamed (AWANA) program. “Through AWANA, I mentor children and help

teach them Bible verses and in addition to that, I teach them the aspects of being socially involved and we have games to help them be physically fit,” Bowman said. Outside of school, soccer and his church, Bowman said he enjoys hunting and fishing.

Timberline defeats Shelton girls’ golf Lady Highclimbers golf at Alderbrooke today By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com

Timberline defeated the Shelton girls’ golf team 83-49 on March 22. “We played at Indian Summer Golf Course, the third toughest course in the state of Washington,” Shelton head girls’ golf coach Lorna Martinson said. “The matches are scored using a stableford system, which means a golfer earns points based on their score for each hole.” Martinson said she thought the Lady Highclimbers played great on such a difficult course. “For some of them, they had never played nine holes before,” she said. “As far as improvement, each girl will set their own goals because their golf talent varies from person to person.” Martinson said she is happy with the camaraderie the team has this season. “I feel we will get stronger as a team because of this,” she said. The team’s next match is at 3:15 p.m. today at Alderbrook Golf Course in Union against Capital. “I believe we can only control what we do on the course so all I want to see is steady improvement, hoping to score more points as a team each time out,” Martinson said. “We will have individual outstanding performances along the way as a result of each girl committing to their personal goal to improve in an area. That is how we will build and improve.”

The Lady Owls finished the meet in fourth place with 59 points while the Knight Owls finished in sixth place with 17.8 points. “Our MMK athletes Hannah had another good comFrost petition at Raymond last Thursday,” Mary M. Knight head track coach Kitty Brehmeyer said. “It was an extremely wet, cold and windy afternoon. It was hard for them to stay warm and be ready to compete.” Despite those conditions, Brehmeyer said the Owls competed fairly well.

“For this meet, Hannah Frost, second place in the 800 with her much improved time, was the female athlete of the meet,” Brehmeyer said. “She also ran the 200 and was a member of the 1600 relay team. These events are virtually back-to-back and Hannah showed that she has what it takes to be a great competitor.” Brehmeyer chose Nick Dierkop as the male ath-

lete of the meet. “He placed third in the 300 hurdles and fourth in the high jump,” she said. Brehmeyer said she is pleased with all of the athletes this season. “They are all great to work with and I am looking forward to seeing how much these young men and women will improve as the season progresses,” she said. The team is set to compete at 3:30 p.m. today at South Bend High School in South Bend.

Highclimbers lose five games Shelton baseball team needs to build confidence in skills By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com

The Shelton baseball team lost five more games last week. On March 21, the Highclimbers (0-7) lost to Olympia 14-0. The Highclimbers then lost at home on March 22 to Bellarmine 11-1 and to Olympia on Friday 7-1. “We showed up to those three games but we weren’t ready to play,” Shelton head baseball coach Erik Engstrom said. “Our pitching was substandard.” He said the other teams were able to get some good hits in while the Highclimbers weren’t locating their pitches and were leaving everything up in the zone. “We hit routine ground balls and fly balls,” Engstrom said. On Saturday, the Highclimbers lost to Capital 6-5.

“Our bats started rolling,” Engstrom said. “It was a close game. If we would’ve played the way we’re capable of, we could’ve won MONDAY: it.” C. Kitsap ..... 11 Finally, on MonShelton .......... 6 day, the Highclimbers lost at home to TOMOrrOw: Central Kitsap 11-6. Shelton at “Monday was abYelm, 4 p.m. solutely outstanding for the first and second innings,” Engstrom said. “Our pitching fell apart in the third inning after five errors in the outfield. They scored nine runs on us with three pitchers in the third.” Despite the disastrous third inning, the Highclimbers played Central Kitsap close with SHS achieving seven hits and CKHS getting six.

“Five errors in the field hurt,” Engstrom said. “We came back and shut them down the rest of the game.” Junior Thomas Gettle led the Highclimber effort, hitting 2-3 with two doubles and three RBI. Senior Curtis Wuestner hit 1-3 while senior Patrick Fabrizio hit 1-4, senior Colton Twiddy hit 1-3, senior Forrest Puterbaugh hit 1-1 with one RBI and Austin Wells hit 1-2 with two RBI. “Wells made a catch at the outside of the warning track on a deep fly ball and caught it at the fence,” Engstrom said. If the weather cooperates, the Highclimbers are scheduled to play at 4 p.m. today at Yelm High School. “Our outfield needs to see more balls off the bat,” Engstrom said. “As a whole, the varsity needs to develop more confidence.” He said the hitting and pitching for the team has already begun to show improvement.

For the rest of us, if Kentucky doesn’t make it to the championship round, the bracket’s going to bite, because Johnson and I both have UNC getting that far while Mullen has Syracruse, a team that lost in the regional finals to Ohio. Earlier this week, I gave everybody the chance to change one championship team to somebody who made the final four. Johnson revised her championship teams, replacing UNC with Ohio State because she originally thought Ohio State would make it further than Kansas. Mullen replaced Syracuse with Kansas for the championship round. He said he thinks Kansas will defeat Ohio State in the national semifinals because Kansas

defeated Ohio State earlier this season. Rudnick switched from UNC to Ohio State saying: “I like their big men” but chose Kentucky to win. Instead of UNC making it to the championship round, I’m switching to Ohio State, since Rudnick knows much more about college basketball than I do. Regardless of who we — and everybody else taking part in the fun — have chosen for the final four, the games will still be played. For the national semifinals, Louisville and Kentucky face off at 3:09 p.m. on Saturday while Ohio State and Kansas play at 5:49 p.m. Both games will air on CBS. The national championship game is set to air at 6 p.m. on Monday on CBS.

Gig Harbor outruns Highclimbers By EMILY HANSON emily@masoncounty.com

Both the Shelton boys’ and girls’ track teams lost to Gig Harbor at a home meet on Friday. Gig Harbor defeated the boys’ team 87-48 and the girls’ team 97-52 in the Highclimbers’ first dual meet of the season. “I was very pleased with how the meet went on Friday,” Shelton head track coach Doug Sells said. “Despite large numbers on the Gig Harbor side, Shelton held their own and had a lot of good performances. Many races you would see a flood of blue uniforms for Gig Harbor and just one or two red Shelton uniforms sticking out.” Sells said he has seen some very nice and surprising performances from individual athletes so far this season. “Senior Nathan Morgan showed massive improvement, winning the 3200 meter with a very big personal record,” Sells said. Morgan’s PR for the 3200 in 2011 was 11:14.30. On Friday, he finished the event with a time of 10:26.32.

“Nathan has worked really hard in the offseason and it’s really showing,” Sells said. “His training partner, sophomore Cody Williamson, is also doing very well. Cody placed second the 1600 meter against a very strong Gig Harbor field.” Sells said senior Indi Endicott had an outstanding meet Friday. “Indi won the 300 meter hurdles, won the javelin beating his personal record by 10 feet, placed second in the high jump and third in the 110 meter hurdles,” Sells said. “Indi is a big point-scorer for the team. He is very versatile which means we can place him in the events we need him in to score team points.” Friday was the debut of the Shelton sprint relay teams. “Both our girls and boys 400 meter relay teams won their event and completed their first race in smooth fashion,” Sells said. “I wanted them to have clean hand-offs and to get the baton around the track without dropping it, which they did.” He said there are a lot of positive things happening with the track team at this early point in the season.

“Every day, the kids are getting better and more confident,” Sells said. “I’m seeing a lot of kids discover their capabilities, some things they had no idea they could do.” The Highclimbers have two meets this week. The first is at 3:30 p.m. Friday in Shelton against Central Kitsap. The second is a relay meet at 1 p.m. Saturday in Shelton. “I am really excited for Friday against Central Kitsap,” Sells said. “We are two very well-matched teams so a team win in this meet is very possible. Everyone is now starting to settle into the events they are comfortable in and they are producing very exciting results.” The relay meet on Saturday is the first time Shelton has hosted such a meet. “This is going to be a very fun meet for everyone,” Sells said. “Eight teams will be attending and each field event is held as a relay event.

Physical Address is 321 East Mill Street, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 32020-32-00070 Project Description: Manke Lumber proposes to amend their existing log yard located on Oakland Bay and construct a series of new stormwater detention ponds, construct a new sand filter (for stormwater), and enhance an existing “wet” storm drainage swale, in addition to paving a large portion of their existing log “deck” in an effort to better comply with their existing industrial storm drainage permit issued by the Washington State Department of Ecology. The proposal includes revegetation (with native vegetation) of a portion of the Oakland Bay frontage of the site. Required Permits: City permit requirements include a Shoreline Substantial Development Permit, City of Shelton Fill and Grade Permit, and SEPA threshold determination. Environmental Review: The City of Shelton has reviewed the proposed project for probable adverse environmental impacts and expects to issue a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance (MDNS) for this project. The optional DNS process contained in WAC 197-11-355 is being used. This may be your only opportunity to comment on the environmental impacts of the proposed project. Agencies, tribes, and the public are encouraged to review and comment on the proposed project and its probable environmental impacts. The City of Shelton has determined that potential impacts that may result from the project are addressed by the City’s Shoreline Master Program and the policies contained within as well as the following mitigation measures: The Landscaping/Restoration Plan dated 0206-2012 shall be amended to allow for the addition of Hooker’s Willow (Salix hookeriana), cuttings or container grown stock, interspersed with the proposed Snowberry (Symphoricarpos alba), at approximately 10 foot intervals on the eastern end of the restoration area, adjacent to the existing log “dump”. The intent of this mitigation measure is to provide for a more varied and dense planting along the eastern portion of the site. The Landscaping/Restoration Plan dated 0206-2012 shall be amended to increase the amount of Shore Pine (Pinus contorta) plantings from 29 to a minimum of 45 along the site frontage. Alternatively, other native trees that would thrive in a saltwater environment as approved by the City of Shelton may be substituted. The intent of this mitigation measure is to provide a more consistent and multistoried vegetation scheme along the western portion of the site.
