PUD 3 OKs rate increase

Fire claims home on Lake Cushman

Customers will see higher bills starting Oct. 1 By ANDREW DAVIS andrew@masoncounty.com

The county’s largest power supplier made a potential rate increase a reality at Tuesday’s regular commission meeting. The Public Utility District 3 Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a 4 percent increase and a 10-cents-per-day system charge increase, effective Oct. 1. The increase is in response to a 7.1 percent wholesale energy and 4.4 percent transmission rate increase from the Bonneville Power Administration. “These external pressures are causing great harm in our rural economy,” Board President Thomas Farmer said. Linda Gott, PUD 3 District 1 commissioner, agreed. “It is a difficult decision with the mill closures in our community,” she said. The BPA rate increases had an Photo courtesy of George Stenberg

‘Bullets’ fired during mock hostage situation in Shelton Authorities use active-shooter simulation to hone their skills By ANDREW DAVIS andrew@masoncounty.com The threat of an “active shooter” situation looms large in today’s society. That is why last Friday, the Shelton Police Department, Mason County Sheriff’s Office and Azure Security participated in an active-shooter simulation at the old Simpson Lumber Co.’s headquarters — now owned by Sierra Pacific — in downtown Shelton. Calls to 911, scanner chatter and the authorities’ tactics were real, as Shelton SWAT members approached the building located off of Front Street. But the situation was all planned and the bullets were just small paintballs that only stung a little, authorities said. The mission was simple: treat this situation as real as possible — and get it right. Radio chatter such as, “one shooter inside, two civilians down,” crackled over the airwaves throughout the day as the simulation ramped up around 11:30 a.m. Dave Aykens, principal of Azure who

the victims then turned its attention to the shooter inside the building. Aykens didn’t let the cops apprehend him easily. About 15 minutes after the simulation started, he emerged from the building using a hostage as a human shield and fired multiple rounds at officers. “If you (expletive) with me, I will kill him,” he said before going back into the building. After carefully working the scene for possible escape routes and potential entry points to the building, the SWAT team made its move. Team members moved through the building with stealth, clearing each room before moving on to the next. Then in a hail of bullet fire, they subdued Aykens and secured the remaining hostages. The whole simulation lasted about an hour start to finish. It was the first time the three entities participated together in an exercise of this nature. After the simulation, Shelton Police Department Detective Calvin Moran, who organized the exercise, said he was pleased with the exercise. “It went great,” he said. “It was like see SIMULATION, page A-22

New Shelton Schools super gets contract revision School Board: Apostle was promised $180K annually By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncounty.com The Shelton School Board on Tuesday voted unanimously to revise the contract of new Superintendent Alex Apostle, increasing his salary and annuity to meet the $180,000 the district said Apostle was promised when he was hired. The board changed Apostle’s base salary from $159,138 to $170,352, and increased his annuity to reach the $180,000 salary. “We are required to keep our word,” said School Board President Brenda Hirschi. “You promise something, you have to go through with the promise,” said

board member Carolyn Gravatt-Bowles. Apostle, a Tacoma native who was superintendent for the Missoula (Montana) County Public Schools for seven years, was named superintendent in March. He replaced interim superintendent Art Jarvis on July 1. Jarvis replaced Superintendent Wayne Massie, who resigned in fall 2014. On Tuesday, Hirschi called Apostle “a transformational leader.” “He’s working 80, 85 hours a week to bring this district up to the next level,” she said. Hirschi said she believes Apostle has already saved the district about $200,000 in his first three months on the job, but said she cannot disclose the details of those savings. The performance of the new superintendent will be evaluated in June, Hirschi said. That evaluation will be shared with the public, for the first time in the district, she said.

Six new buses for Shelton School District down the road By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncounty.com The Shelton School District has purchased six new school buses. The Shelton School Board on Tuesday unanimously approved a resolution to transfer $275,000 from its General Fund to its Transportation Vehicle Fund to help fund the purchase of four full-size buses and two smaller buses. The district also plans to apply for a $275,000 loan from the state to complete the purchase, said Brenda Trogstad, the district’s executive director of finance.

The buses are scheduled to be delivered in March. School Board President Brenda Hirschi said 43 percent of the district’s buses have logged more than 200,000 miles. “We want our kids to be safe, but we also want to be aware and respectful to the taxpayers,” she said. “How do we do both?” Hirschi said the school board could have authorized a transportation bond election to try to fund the buses. The purchase “will put us in a good position to get depreciation dollars we get from the state,” Hirs-

chi said. “We can use those depreciation dollars to buy more buses.” In an interview with the Journal, Shelton School District Transportation Director Sandi Thompson explained that the district annually receives depreciation dollars as reimbursement from the state for each school bus until they are 13 years old. “The old ones aren’t unsafe — they are approved by the Washington State Patrol,” Thompson said. “But when they break down, the (replacement) parts are hard to find.” The district has 44 buses, she said.

ach week, our editorial staff does its best to report on the issues and stories that matter to you. Those stories are not always feel-good pieces — many of the story topics we’ve reported on recently relate to growing homelessness, crumbling infrastructure and violent crime. But that’s not all we report on. The role of a community newspaper is to also tell stories about people, not just problems. Within the pages of the Mason County Journal, you’ll find stories about crime, but you’ll also find stories about hope. You’ll read about the bad, but you’ll also read about the good. Last week, we published

a front-page story about a cancer patient whose family was on the verge of meeting a $50,000 fundraising goal to help pay for her treatments. Earlier this year we wrote about a woman who donated a portion of her liver to a neighbor. We try to balance out our coverage with the news you have to know, with the news you want to know. We’re lucky that we have such an active group of nonprofit organizations that raise money for great causes. In this week’s issue alone, you’ll read about a benefit fundraiser for an organization dedicated to providing shelter and services to victims of domestic

violence. You’ll see a story about dog owners raising money for the American Cancer Society. And that’s not all. In this week’s paper you’ll also see a 36-page special section devoted to OysterFest, the annual celebration in Shelton that contributes money back into the community in the form of projects and academic scholarships. Mason County residents know how to give back to their community — that’s apparent as your flip through the pages of the Journal. We hope that their stories inspire, as well as inform you and your family.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Olsen, Vogler the correct answer for city Editor, the Journal I strongly endorse Mike Olsen for re-election to the Shelton City Commission and Marilyn Vogler as future mayor of Shelton. Some recent discussions and votes by the commission indicate why. Gary Cronce and his protégé, Kathy McDowell, joined by the Shelton Mason County Chamber of Commerce

director continue their pattern of opposition to investment in growth opportunities by opposing full funding of water and sewer infrastructure. They also opposed applying for federal grant funds to evaluate potentially polluted development sites in Shelton. This shortsighted, risk-averse approach guarantees that the city will remain in a downward spiral for the foreseeable future. Mike Olsen, by contrast bases his decisions on research, not ideology. He seeks to promote the welfare of everyone in the

community rather than the trickle-down fallacy of groups beholden to a select few business interests. He has a wealth of experience from three decades operating a contracting business as well as a wide range of activities during his three years as Commissioner of Finance and Accounting. His opponent has no history in elected office and very little in business. When it comes to the mayoral election, again there is considerable contrast. Marilyn Vogler is an see LETTERS, page A-5

Motorcycles are dangerous to everybody Editor, the Journal I do not understand why any sane person who rides a motorcycle wants to ride a black camouflaged bike that traffic cannot see. Could it be that their black clothing and helmet has fried their brains? By the way, loud pipes do not save lives, and they do not give the public a favorable view of motorcycles, they are illegal and a traffic violation, which most all law enforcement chooses to ignore for some reason. Just don’t speed, they like to enforce that particular law. Guy Boyd Shelton

Reader elaborates on comments Editor, the Journal My previous letter regarding the sewer extension contained no deceptions, and may have contained some partial truths occasioned by the limitations of letters to the editor. First, the fact that properties along the route of the extension are on septic systems is irrelevant to the question of financing the project. Those properties will be benefited by the extension and the current ratepayers will not. Therefore, the benefited properties should shoulder the cost of the extension. This is a fundamental of utility management. I have not heard that the benefited properties along this extension have committed to funding, or even contributing, to the extension. If that information is incorrect, then I apologize. Any deception perceived is in the eye of the beholder. However, my guess, and it is a guess, is that those property owners do not have the financial resources to fund the project. Are there other alternatives to sticking me and the other ratepayers with the expense without our say so? Yes. Do I think that Cronce would explore those alternatives? Yes. Do I have the space to go into them here? No. Second, to answer the “half

Capital asset improvement 3. Utility extensions. Each type should be self-explanatory. It is right and proper for current ratepayers to cover the costs of 1 and 2, since the replacement of existing worn

out capital assets and improvements to existing assets benefit the current ratepayers. Should a portion of the rate increases be devoted to replacements and improvements? Absolutely. Was that included in the promise to ratepayers? Quite frankly, I don’t recall. If it was, then I apologize. If financing utility extensions had been included in the promise, I believe I would have screamed at the time.

Is there more detail to the above concept? Oh yes. But the editors, quite rightly, cannot allow me to devote the space that would constitute a long chapter in a book on utility management to the subject. Third, regarding my qualifications as a utility manager, I have been successfully managing water utilities for more than 20 years. I currently serve as the general manager of a water district — a district that has faced, and faces, extensive capital replacements and improvements. Under my leadership, and the leadership of the district’s elected commissioners, considerable replacement/ improvement has occurred and is occurring. We are financing those capital expenditures from cash flows, making compound interest work for the community instead of against it. I know it can be done because I

am doing it. Oh, by the way, that district’s water rates (the entire community uses on-site sewage systems) are approximately half of Shelton’s water rates (excluding sewer charges) for the provision of any given amount of water. Cronce has a vision for our town; a vision to make Shelton attractive to businesses. I have reason to believe that Kathy McDowell shares that vision. We have to have vibrant private businesses if we are to have a vibrant economy. The effort to attract business is not enhanced by driving the city further into debt, which must be repaid, with interest, by you and me and saddling current ratepayers with high costs to finance utility extensions.

Mason Lake residents want more water patrols By ANDREW DAVIS andrew@masoncounty.com A swathe of residents converged on the Mason County Commission chambers Tuesday evening to express dissatisfaction about how the waters of Mason Lake are patrolled. Many of the residents were members of the Mason Lake community who see accidents and irresponsible boating on the lake as a direct effect of the lack of law enforcement presence. “Law enforcement needs to be on Mason Lake to monitor irresponsible boating,” Port of Grapeview President Lowell Mahugh said. “It (the lake) is a recipe for disaster.” During the summer, a speedboat crash left numerous people injured, attendees said. Nobody died, but some meeting attendees told the commission that the lack of the water enforcement caused the accident. “He (Sheriff Casey Salisbury) needs more funding to make sure this doesn’t happen,” Grapeview resident Lynn Murdy said. “We were very fortunate that no one was killed.” More than 40 residents filled the chambers and not everyone was able to voice their concerns due to time constraints, but the residents who did urged the commission to set aside money to help Sheriff’s Office to patrol the waters. Grapeview resident Dan Hargreaves told commissioners that more funds were needed so Salisbury could staff the lake full-time with a patrol boat. “We really feel that the amount of money due to the sheriff’s department (is lacking),” he said. “There was almost no representation at the lake on the busy weekends over the summer.” Commissioner Randy Neatherlin

How to keep your septic system safe SepticSmart Week encourages regular maintenance By BRIANNA LOPER brianna@masoncounty.com With septic systems, a flush beats a full house, and proper septic system maintenance is the key to making sure the latter never happens. Earlier this year, Gov. Jay Inslee named Sept. 21-25 SepticSmart Week to highlight the importance of maintaining septic systems around the state. With more than 950,000 privately owned septic systems operational in Washington, including more than 26,000 in Mason County, the risk for septic-based illness and wastewater contaminant is high, according to the state Department of Health. However, these consequences can easily be avoided if the proper steps are taken by property owners to maintain the system. “It’s similar to cars and regularly getting your oil changed,” said Alex Paysse, environmental health specialist with the Mason County Public Health Department. “When you take care of it, it will last longer. Property owners want to protect their investment.” Regular maintenance prevents problems that could go unnoticed until it is too late, Paysse said. If something is broken on the tank, a property owner may not realize there is a problem until their drain field begins to fill with waste. Cindy Waite, environmental health specialist for Public Health, said 90 percent of homeowners in Mason County can perform their own inspections each year. A form is available on the county Public Health Department’s website that walks homeowners through the regular inspection process. Once the form is complete, they can mail it to Public Health, which keeps files of all inspections done in the county. “We send out a lot of reminders on when to do maintenance,” Waite said. “This next year, we have 110 (thousand) mailers lined up to remind those 26,000 (people) to do

Erica Bates demonstrates how a septic filter works during a class for homeowners with septic systems on Tuesday at the Public Works building in Shelton. Bates runs the water resources program through the Washington State University Mason County extension.

TIPS FOR A HEALTHY SEPTIC SYSTEM Get it inspected — Have the septic tank regularly inspected and pumped by a licensed professional, or perform an annual inspection at home using guidelines from Mason County Public Health Department. Use water efficiently. Regularly fix leaks and only run the dishwasher and clothes washer on full loads. Don’t pour grease, fats or harmful chemicals down the sink that can clog or harm your system. Do not flush anything non-degradable. Care for your drainfield by only planting grass. Do not drive or park on your drainfield. Provided by the Environmental Protection Agency in collaboration with SepticSmart Week

annual maintenance.” The majority of systems in Mason County are up-to-date, Waite said, but the county continually educates homeowners on their options for system maintenance. “We’ve fixed a lot of problems through education,” Waite said. “And home sales, because an inspection has to be done before the house can sell.”

NEGLECTING MAINTENANCE When a system is not properly maintained, more than just the people living on the property may experience the consequences. When a septic system fails, wastewater can be released into the environment, which poses health risks for humans and wildlife in the area. This wastewater

can get into drinking water sources or pollute lakes, rivers and shorelines that are used for commercial or recreational activities. Bacteria and viruses from the waste can cause illnesses such as dysentery, hepatitis and typhoid fever. In Mason County, this could mean pollutants in areas that grow shellfish, making the people who eat them sick. Failed septic systems can be expensive to replace or repair. The cost of regularly maintaining and pumping a system is much lower than replacing a system that has failed too early, Paysse said. Failed systems also cause the property values to decline, weakening the economic health of the community. Safety can be another issue to address with septic systems. One child drowned earlier this year after falling into an open septic tank and another was injured in a similar incident, according to a release from the state Department of see SEPTIC, page A-17

MAMMO MIA! If you’re a woman age 40 or older, remember to schedule an annual mammogram. Having a regular mammography screening can be a valuable, lifesaving tool in identifying breast cancers early, when they are localized and treatment plans are most successful. In fact, when breast cancer is detected in its early stages, the American Cancer Society reports a five-year survival rate of 98 percent! So why wait? Talk to your primary care physician and call us today to schedule a screening!

Mason County Jail inmate found dead in apparent suicide By ANDREW DAVIS andrew@masoncounty.com

was taken into custody after allegedly throwing his mother to the ground, punching her in the face, then fleeing in her car. According to a separate court document, Dahl had been released from Mason County Jail days earlier where he was serving a sentence for driving while intoxicated. In the 2014 incident, Dahl ran into the back of a Mason County Sheriff’s Office cruiser. Mason County Jail Chief Tom Haugen said Dahl was found in his cell around 7:30 p.m. Sept. 16 during the daily swing shift.

A Union man was found dead in his Mason County Jail cell last week in what police say was a suicide. Brandon Dahl, 31, was booked into jail Sept. 13 on felony robbery and domestic violence charges; three days later he would hang himself. “No matter how you look at it, it is a tragic situation,” Mason County Sheriff Casey Salisbury said. According to a sheriff’s arrest affidavit filed in Mason County Superior Court, Dahl

“I am not able to release more timeline (information yet),” Haugen said. “I would like to when it (the investigation) is over and done with, but I can’t divulge any more information.” Haugen said jail deputies conduct cell checks at least every hour. Salisbury said suicides in the jail can happen in a matter of minutes. “You can do a cell check right now and come back within an hour,” he said. “But these things can be done within a couple seconds. “It is always a tragic situa-

tion when someone takes their own life.” Haugen said inmates in the jail have access to mental health assistance in the jail, but must seek out the help. “If they request to see a mental health person we have a psych person on call,” he said. Haugen also said a psychologist is on duty five days a week, and inmates have access to church services and clergy. Regardless, Salisbury worries these types of incidents are happening more often. “It is becoming more and more frequent,” he said. Haugen, who has worked at

the jail for 33 years, said there have been suicides two times since he started. “Unfortunately, we had one in 2013 and then we had one in 1999,” he said. Haugen maintained that access to mental health assistance was available to inmates seeking it. “If inmates request something for their mental health we are going to find it for them,” he said. “Absolutely.” The investigation into Dahl’s death has been turned over to Mason County Sheriff’s detectives and could take weeks, Haugen said.

COUNTY BRIEFS

Countywide burn ban lifted after dry summer Recreational fires are now allowed in Mason County as the unusually hot and dry summer comes to an end. The Mason County Fire Marshal’s Office, in partnership with the Mason County Fire Chiefs’ Association and the Washington Department of Natural Resources, declared that the countywide burn ban be lifted Sept. 18. According to a news release, the agencies determined that with cooler, wetter weather conditions in

Mason County, it is safer to burn outdoors. The agencies would like to remind residents to continue to burn responsibly, and consult the Mason County Fire Marshal’s website for additional information at www.co.mason.wa.us. For further information, contact the Mason County burn ban information line at 427-7799.

Two new jail deputies sworn in at county jail The Mason County Jail has been staffed with two

new jail deputies in the past month and a half. On Sept. 16, Mason County Undersheriff James Barrett gave the oath of office to and swore in Leslie Martin, the newest jail deputy of the Mason County Sheriff’s Office. Last month, on Aug. 10, in front of family, friends and fellow co-workers, Mason County Sheriff Casey Salisbury gave the oath of office to and swore in James Belleville, a new jail deputy for the Mason County Sheriff’s Office. Sheriff Salisbury said the office is fortunate to have hired both the new deputies, who will be worthy additions to the agency. n Compiled by reporter Andrew Davis

Sluyter informed deputies that he made sure that the sick Scout was OK and then went to find the rest of the troop, according to the release. Sluyter stated that due to the fog, onset of darkness and getting stuck on a steep slope, he decided to stop, where he built a fire. Sheriff Casey Salisbury thanked deputies, firefighters, and search and rescue volunteers for making the mission a success. Salisbury also said it was wise for the Scout leader to stay in one spot in order for search party to find him.

Peninsula Credit Union gets $2M grant By BRIANNA LOPER brianna@masoncounty.com A grant that will help Peninsula Credit Union serve its moderate- to low-income members has been a long time coming, according to Jim Morrell. “We’ve built a track record of doing what we say,” said Morrell, president and CEO for the Shelton-based credit union. “We want to help people in this community get a leg up and help increase overall economic development.” The credit union received a Community Development Financial Institutions grant of $2 million from the U.S. Treasury, which the credit union plans to

use to provide affordable loans to those in need and develop educational programs on saving. Peninsula Credit Union is one of 21 credit unions in the country to receive the grant, and the only one in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. During the next five years, the credit union will leverage the money so it will be able to provide $42 million in loans for those in need in Mason, Grays Harbor, Jefferson, Clallam and Kitsap counties. Residents who make less than the average family median wage for the state, which is about $58,000 per year, are eligible for the program. These people may not normally have access to

loans with reasonable interest rates. Additionally, the credit union plans to get training for all its financial advisers so they can better educate customers on financial management. “This is a critical time for our community,” said David Hughes, vice president and chief marketing and information officer for Peninsula. “(The community) is going through a tough transition time with Simpson closing and Olympic Panel closing next year.” The Community Development Financial Institution Fund was established by the U.S. Treasury to ensure everyone has equal access to the funds they need, Morrell said. The treasury’s target market is people with moderate- to lowincomes, many of whom reside in Peninsula Credit Union’s area of service.

“This grant will help increase opportunities on the Peninsula,” said U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer (D-Gig Harbor) in a news release. “Now, workers and families will have the chance to obtain a quality, affordable loan that can help them get a leg up. At the same time it will give folks a chance to learn about the variety of financial tools they have access to at an institution like Peninsula Credit Union.” The credit union began working on the grant application nearly two years ago. “We had a lot of different folks gathering data over the last few years,” said Morrell, adding that the credit union took time to figure out which programs would best suit the needs of the area. The credit union became a certified Community Development Financial Institution in

April 2014, which is a requirement to receive the grant. To earn the certification, Peninsula Credit Union developed several programs to help residents understand finances. These programs encourage saving, Morrell said. One such program is the credit union’s Borrow and Save program, which aims to get people to stop using payday lenders for small, shortterm loans. Instead, the credit union helps people borrow loans less than $1,000, paid back in less than one year. Up to 25 percent of the amount paid back to the credit union goes into a savings account for the participant’s next emergency situation. “The next time a tire blows or someone needs emergency medical services … they already have those funds set aside,” Morrell said. Another program is

the Save and Win program, which enters participants into a drawing for prizes every time they deposit $25 in a savings account. Morrell said the credit union would not have received the grant without help from the community, adding that partnerships with community organizations like North Mason Resources help spread the idea of financial education and reach more people in need. “We’re super excited to be a part of economic development in this community, just to be a sliver of that picture,” Morrell said. “Everyone contributes a different sliver to that picture, and financial services is our puzzle piece.” Peninsula Credit Union is a $150 million federally charter credit union with 18,000 members in Kitsap, Mason, Jefferson, Clallam and Grays Harbor counties.

Radio host Medved draws 150 to Republican Party fundraiser By ANDREW DAVIS andrew@masoncounty.com Mason County Republicans last week gathered in the new Transit-Community Center to carouse and reminisce about conservative heavyweight and former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Jars of jellybeans, Reagan’s favorite candy, and pocket Constitutions dotted the tables, and drinks flowed from an open bar Sept. 17 as elected officials and residents celebrated the life of the late president. The theme for the night was the old West, something Republicans believe Reagan embodied through his life at Rancho del Cielo, his home in Santa Barbara, California. More than 150 Republicans and Democrats alike donned Western wear and took photos in front of hay bales and prop fire while a violinist played the Western blues. The social hour of the event stretched from 6 to 7 p.m. Attendees milled around discussing the previous night’s Republican primary debate, local politics and Reagan’s legacy as the 40th President of the United States. At 7 p.m. dinner was served; a full spread of barbecue including beef brisket, pulled pork, corn bread and coleslaw filled the stomachs of the attendees. Republican Central Committee Chairman Travis Couture welcomed the

State Rep. Drew MacEwen (R-Union) poses Tuesday with ninth-grade honors class students at Oakland Bay Junior High in Shelton.

MacEwen visits classroom By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncounty.com State Rep. Drew MacEwen (RUnion) on Tuesday was honored by the Washington Association of Agriculture Educators (WAAE) as the 2015 Legislator of the Year in the group’s District 3 for his advocacy of education. The award was presented to MacEwen at Oakland Bay Junior High, in the classroom of teacher Roy Conover. Conover is a member of the WAAE. At WAAE’s annual summer conference, members voted for the legislator who best represented education – in

particular, Career and Technical Education — in their district, Conover said. “This guy is amazing and fantastic,” he said. The award was supposed to be presented to MacEwen in June, but the Legislature was still in session. District 3 stretches from Kitsap County to Longview. MacEwen posed for photographs with the students, ninth-graders who attend honors classes. “It’s an honor and a privilege to advocate for you in Olympia,” MacEwen said. He added, “I commend you guys for being in the honors class.”

audience to the dinner as empty plates were being taken away from the tables. “Thanks for coming out tonight,” he said. “As we celebrate the legacy of Ronald Reagan – probably the greatest United States president in modern history.” Applause rang out from the crowd. Couture played a video honoring Reagan and then introduced Bill Bryant, a Republican candidate running for governor. Bryant talked about growing up in Mason County; about how the rural landscape shaped him as a man, and about how as governor he would protect the lands and grow the economy on both sides of the Cascade Mountains. Bryant will likely vie for the governor’s mansion in Olympia against Democrat Jay Inslee in 2016. He has created and managed offshore trading companies in Seattle, and currently serves as a Port of Seattle commissioner. Bryant then introduced the keynote speaker for the evening: conservative radio talk show personality Michael Medved. Medved spoke about using faith to overcome cancer earlier in the year, the future of the Republican Party and growing the party from outside, rather than limiting its members. After Medved spoke, attendees enjoyed dancing and then said good night and went home.

Labor statistics: Jobless claims down in Mason County in August Mason County residents found work in August according to new county jobless claims numbers released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The August unemployment rate, which is not adjusted for seasonal factors, declined to 7.5 percent last month from the 7.9 percent the bureau reported in July. It is the lowest the unemployment rate has been since June, when Mason County reported a 7.3 percent jobless rate. Washington state Employment Security Department Economist Jim Vleming said the unem-

ployment numbers are a sign of slow recovery. “The August numbers are well below the last couple of years,” he said. “It is kind of steady as we go.” Despite the small recovery, Vleming said the county still lacks in nonfarm employment, but predicts a small increase in the future due to Christmas trees season. “I think as we see things move along, there will be nonfarm employment going up because of Christmas tree sales,” he said. “But there is still uncertainty.” Statewide, estimates for August year-overyear unemployment rates indicate an in-

crease in employment of 92,200 for the state,

according to the state ESD. The private sector

added 84,800 jobs while the public sector gained

an estimated 7,400 jobs over the year.

Bringing music to life

By BRIANNA LOPER brianna@masoncounty.com

Bringing with her a variety of songs, instruments and styles, musician Carolyn Cruso will take the stage to bring folk, Americana and Celtic inspired music to life in Hoodsport. The event will take place in a private home, but tickets are available to the public. Doors open at 3 p.m., with the show starting at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 27. There is a $15 suggested donation. Cruso, originally from the Hudson River Valley in New York, has led an adventurous life through her musical career, from performing in Europe to traveling with a circus on the Renaissance Fair circuit, according to a news release. Her goal is to move audiences through music, with instruments like the flute, guitar and hammered dulcimer, as well as vocal performances. Cruso’s style pushes

the boundaries of traditional approach, while still honoring the original spirit of the music. She describes her style as improvisational, lyrical and percussive. “With her sensational talent, variety of musical styles and instruments, and fascinating anecdotes, she gave the audience an unforgettable evening of wonderful music,” said Jerene Weitman, from the Heckscher Museum of Art in Huntington, New York, in a news release. Cruso has released eight albums; her most recent album, “Have You Ever,” features 14 songs spanning pop, folk, jazz and alternative country styles. Cruso now lives on Orcas Island, but tours across the country regularly. For directions to the show or more information, contact Lois at letloisdoit@juno.com or call 887-5862.

United Way of Mason County kicks off campaign Goal is $235K to help 22 agencies By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncounty.com United Way of Mason County is launching its fall fundraising campaign to help families become financially stable, promote healthful eating, expand access to health care and help educate youth and adults. Most of the workplace United Way collection campaigns kick off in September and wrap up by Thanksgiving, but drives are conducted all year long. The Walmart in Shelton conducts its campaign in February, and Fred Meyer in May. This year’s fundraising goal is $235,000, said Carrie Lemmon, the executive director of United Way of Mason County. Last year’s campaign collected $274,000, she said. The 22 agencies funded by United Way of Mason County for 2015-16 include the Hood Canal Food Bank, the Mason County Senior Activities Association, Sound Learning, the Asset Building Coalition of Mason County, North Mason Resources, CareNet Pregnancy Center, Turning Pointe Domestic Violence Services, Community Food Pantry in Belfair and Harmony Hill Retreat Center in Union. United Way of Mason County reports that in 2014, donations helped 1,233 local people

The donations provided resources to help 145 low-income adults and teenagers improve their English, reading, writing and math skills. The donations also helped provide shelter to 475 people in 119 families, and gave clothing, hygiene items, diapers and school supplies to 236 children.

United Way accepts applications for the donations from organizations that address at least one of the following areas: education, income and basic needs, and health. Interested agencies and groups can call United Way at 426-4999. Starting last year, nonprofit groups received funds from United Way for two years instead of one. The second year

of funding is contingent on the agency maintaining its programs and the money being available. The goal of the group is “to not just put on a Band-Aid, but seek long-term solutions,” Lemmon said at a fundraising kickoff event on Sept. 16 at Maple Glen Retirement Community in Shelton. The agencies will apply for the grants in January. United

Way representatives will then interview the heads of the agencies and visit the organization sites. United Way of Mason County’s other programs include its volunteer center, the Day of Caring fundraiser, the Community Services Group, RSVP Community Jobs and Reading Buddies. The agency also distributes free prescription drug discount cards through its FamilyWize program, and offers health and human services information and referrals through the service Washington Information Network 2-1-1. The agency is also called upon to mobilize resources during disasters, like last summer’s fire in Matlock that destroyed several homes, Lemon said. United Way sent the message out to its 22 partner agencies, which prompted an outpouring of donations that included clothes, sheets and food, she said. United Way of Mason County is partnering with Mason Transit Authority to host a volunteer summit from 3 to 6 p.m. Oct. 7 at the MTA Transit-Community Center, 601 W. Franklin St., Shelton. The event is designed to raise awareness about the organization and recruit volunteers. For more information, contact Issac Wagnitz at 426-4999 or lwagnitz@unitedwaymason. org.

We have events for adults, too, of course, but I won’t detail them here. You can always come in, call or visit

the Shelton page of the Timberland Regional Library’s web site for more information. We strive to have something for all ages, but I wanted to highlight offerings for children since I think children can be enchanted by people, places and events in a way that adults rarely can. Hopefully, they’ll be enchanted by the library.

THAT’S OLD NEWS September 3 1915

Where is Regenscheit? Montesano, Aug. 31 – Where is Julius Regenscheit these past seven or eight years? Is he dead, and will his poor old mother back in Dettinghover, Switzerland, get his estate valued at more than $12,000; or, is he alive, and will creditors for a few hundred dollars get the estate? Almost a year ago Margaret Hilton of Buchanan, Ore., got a judgment for more than $300 against Regenscheit, for moneys alleged to have been lent in 1908 and up to 1913. W.H. Able was her attorney. Later execution was issued and a timber claim in the northern part of this county was sold, being bought by W. H. Abel for himself and Mark Reed, for $439.59, to whom a certificate of sale was issued. The year of grace will expire in November. The county assessor’s books value the claim at more than $12,000. Now comes a petition from S.J. Wettrick, Swiss consul for the state of Washington, for the appointment of an administrator for the estate of Julius Regenscheit, who was last heard from in a letter received from Buenos Aires and written in March, 1907. The mother, Anna Regenscheit is the only heir. The petition alleges that the estate consists of some $300 or $400 on deposit in the Bank

of California, in Tacoma, and the timber claim in this county. It goes on to recite that in 1906 Regenscheit left this country for South America intending to go on, after a visit there, to his old home in Switzerland. A few letters were received from him, the last being the one dated from Buenos Aires, March 1907. His family, it is said, believe he is dead.

It seems that the long standing issue of Russell Mack’s to get the Olympic National Park opened to logging has finally come to a head. Now that this issue is before the chambers of commerce throughout the state, no doubt that it will gain more momentum. I myself am strongly opposed to having some 225,000 acres transferred from the park to the National Forest Service. In the first place when the park was created by the Dept. of Interior, under Ikes, in the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration and again enlarged upon in the Truman administration, which brought it to its present area of something over 800,000 acres. Secondly, this was to be a forest prevail, for the recreational pleasures it might provide for the present generation, and for posterity, so that the peoples of tomorrow could say that the past generation did not destroy all that God had created in its vast beauty and richness. In my estimation this proposed change within the park comes from a group of men that as, Senator Maybank once said, “men that cannot, and never have raise their eyes above the level of a cash register.”

It has been the action of this same group that had the Congress reverse the Supreme Court decision on tide lands oil. It was this same group that succeeded in getting the Atomic Energy bill in private hands. It was this same group that has been responsible for the depletion of our once resourceful fish industry of the Pacific Northwest an now this group cannot stand to see this virgin forest that has been dedicated to the enjoyment of mankind go untouched. In California there are certain people that buy tracts of giant Redwoods along highway 101, an dedicate them to posterity. So let us look upon the Olympic National Park in its entirety to be an everlasting dedication of God’s work to the people of the state of Washington and the nation. Sincerely Herbert G. Nelson.

Shelton and Olympia is due for a new interchange, according the Washington Department of Transportation The state proposes construction of an interchange at Steamboat Island Road, according to DOT. Over the past 10 years, DOT said, 31 accidents have occurred at the intersection. The project’s main objective is to improve the safety and efficiently of the traveling public by eliminating cross-traffic movements on Highway 101 at its intersections with Steamboat Island Road and Oyster Bay Road. The project also considers eliminating direct access to and from State Route 101 at Holiday Valley and Madrona Beach Road. Access roads to Holiday Valley and Oyster Bay Road would need improving and/or constructing if direct access to SR 101 were eliminated. A park-and-ride lot has been recommended to allow for future Intercity Transit service. Public input is welcome, said a DOT spokesman. An open house and public meeting will be held Oct. 11 at Griffin School. There will be informal discussion from 4 to 6:30 p.m. According to the current schedule, the state will decide on its preferred alternative and begin the environmental process in November of 1990. The project is set for completion in the fall of 1993.

HISTORY AT A GLANCE

Shelton School District in need of class space In 1931, Shelton School District 309 was faced with an urgent need for more classroom space. Public sentiment favored building a permanent junior high school especially for the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. With that in mind, the district secured the former Mason County By JAN PARKER fairground site (the northwest corner of Twelfth and Franklin streets, part of which had been dedicated as the Loop Athletic Field in 1929). They then called on Joseph Wohleb to submit plans for a two-story concrete building with provision for 11 classrooms plus assembly, lunch, and heating rooms. On June 15, the school district held a public meeting at Irene S. Reed High School and presented the plans, details, tax levy information, and other matters connected with building a new junior high school. On the following day, school district 309 residents voted to approve issuing bonds in the amount of $75,000 to build and equip the school. Site excavation began in late June — much of the material excavated was used as fill to create Kneeland Park. Junior high students moved from Lincoln School to the new junior high building in February 1932. The move allowed third, fourth, fifth, and sixthgrade students housed in old annex buildings to move into Lincoln School. (Lincoln School was located at the site of the current Shelton Civic Center on Cota Street. It was demolished in 1958.) In the early morning hours of May 10, 1944, most of the building was destroyed in “a spectacular fire which defied the valiant efforts of the volunteer fire department as it swept from one end of the building to the other.” The fire was discovered when the incessant ringing of the school bell, which shorted out, brought it to the attention of neighbors. A wing on the southwest corner that housed the manual training department was virtually untouched, but the rest of the building was completely gutted. For the rest of the school year, junior high students attended class at Irene S. Reed High School. Senior high classes were held from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., junior high from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. The junior high building was fully insured, and

Camp Madrona was located on Hood Canal near Union, date unknown. clean-up and reconstruction began immediately. Contractors hired by the insurance company discovered that the foundation, outer walls, and lower story of the building were sound. The school was rebuilt in time for classes to resume in late September. By 1948, over 500 students were packed into a building that was barely large enough for 450. A number of classes were being held in the auditorium. On Nov. 2, 1948, voters approved a 20-mill special building levy to add a wing to the building. When a new high school complex was built in 1974, the “middle school” concept was born and

seventh and eighth-grade students moved into the nearby Grant C. Angle building (demolished in 2001 to make room for a new Evergreen School). The neglected junior high building was sold to a private citizen for $1,050, then re-sold for $20,000 to a Shelton man who planned to use its 35,000 square feet for commercial storage. The city was briefly interested in acquiring the school and turning it into a community center. In the end, however, Dick Look bought the old school for $18,000 in 1976 and converted it to an apartment building, which is still in use today. n Jan Parker can be reached at parkerj@hcc.net.

Increase: Interest high in PUD’s new solar panel program impact on the 2016 annual budget, which was also agreed upon at the meeting. The district unanimously approved the $63-million budget, which Farmer called “lean.” Specifically, the district is expecting a $1.7 million increase in its operating budget due to the rate increases from BPA. The district plans to spend slightly less on extraordinary capital expen-

ditures for building maintenance and equipment, with a decrease from $1,150,162 to $779,000. Shared Solar Energy Program An overwhelming amount of PUD 3 customers expressed interest in the district’s shared solar program, General Manager Annette Creekpaum said. Customers applied for more than 6,400 units, but only 2,900 could be sold, causing the district to hold a lottery for the spaces on Sept. 17.

The solar units cost $100 each and customers should expect a return on their investment in as quickly as three years. “It’s exciting that our customers will be using renewable energy generated right here in Mason County,” said Justin Holzgrove, energy resources manager. Customers will benefit through an annual credit on their electric bill

based on the electricity generated by their share of the project and a yearly Washington State production incentive of $1.08/kWh that a customer’s solar units generate through 2020. The PUD has a 225-kilowatt system on a nearby operations center building, which generates enough electricity to power up to 20 homes. Countywide, more than 40 homes are outfitted with solar power systems.

Oakland Bay Junior High student Ammon Anderson organized a Labor Day work party to remove scotch broom from the parking lot, spread gravel and clean up benches at the city of Shelton’s Huff ‘n’ Puff Trail.

Project earns Eagle Scout badge for teen Huff ‘n’ Puff parking lot gets facelift By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncounty.com For his Eagle Scout project, Oakland Bay Junior High student Ammon Anderson organized a work party to remove scotch broom, an invasive species of plant in the northwest, from the parking lot, spread gravel and clean up benches at the city of Shelton’s Huff ‘n’ Puff Trail on La-

bor Day. Anderson, 14, is a member of Troop 9155 Pacific Harbors Council Boy Scouts of America. Troop 9155 is chartered with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. About 34 members of the church’s congregation joined Anderson on Labor Day. Anderson said the sight of encroaching scotch broom and the potholes in the Huff’ ‘n’ Puff Trail, across the street from Oakland Bay Junior High and Shelton High School, inspired

him to organize the project. Maple’s Excavation donated equipment and service, and the city of Shelton provided 10 yards of crushed rock. The Washington State University Extension Office provided six scotch broom pullers. BCP Landscaping Supplies allowed the crew to dump two trailers full of scotch broom. Anderson is a freshman at Oakland Bay Junior High. He plays center and defensive tackle for the Shelton High School football team.

She taught piano for many years while she lived in Houston, Texas, and Sunnyvale, California, and wherever she lived she played piano and organ for choirs, for church services and for pleasure. In 1994, Mary Beth and Don moved from Sunnyvale to family land on Mason Lake in Grapeview where they built a beautiful home and filled it with music and love that she shared with her many friends and family. Her involvement with local choirs, churches and her piano quartet group were always a joy and will be fondly remembered. She was a master gardener and created a beautiful landscape garden. Mary is survived by children Mark (Francoise Queval) Morris, Molly Morris Conner

and Sidney (Cynthia Thurman) Morris; daughter-in-law JoAnn DeFranco Morris; grandchildren Mathieu (Gina Sabelli) Morris, Catherine (Collin Rabe) Morris, Debra (Mark) Mascot, Todd (Joanne) Conner, John R. Smith, Kenneth Smith, Jesse DeFranco and Melissa Morris; great-grandchildren Landon, Miles, Signa, William, Austin, Colman, Riley, Tyler, Matthew, Haley, Shelby and Dylan. She was preceded in death by her husband Don Morris; her son Thomas Morris; and sonin-law Harry Conner. The burial service for Mary Beth will be held at 10 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 17, 2015, at the Old Tacoma Cemetery located at 4801 South Tacoma Way in Tacoma. A celebration of life will follow the burial service on Oct. 17, from 2 to 4 p.m., at the North Mason Methodist Church in Belfair located at 25140 N.E. State Route 3, in Belfair.

Port of Allyn changes mind on Theler Community center repairs more costly than port expected By BRIANNA LOPER brianna@masoncounty.com The Port of Allyn Commissioners earlier this month decided to withdraw their proposal to lease the Mary E. Theler Wetlands and Community Center in Belfair. According to port executive director Lary Coppola, the port submitted a certified letter, dated Sept. 10, to the North Mason School District and Superintendent Dana Rosenbach to notify the district that the port has retracted its proposal due to financial reasons. The school district has owned and operated the Theler Center since 1968, when Sam Theler willed the property to the school district. The district was looking for an entity to take over operation and maintenance of the center to relieve the district of some financial burden. Coppola said that after researching the cost of operation based on new financial information, including deferred maintenance and previously unknown necessary repairs, the port found the Theler Center would not be a worthy investment. The port commissioners had been sifting through the Theler Center’s revenue and expenses through July, Coppola said. The port reported the center’s total revenue through July was $49,859.66, while expenses were $112,486.40. That did not include the cost of the two employees who staff the Theler Center, Coppola said. The port found it could lose up to $128,000 in one year paying for Theler Center repairs and maintenance, according to a

news release, which is 25 percent of the port’s annual budget. This loss included the $62,626.74 lost already this year, with an estimated $50,000 added for staffing, as well as the amount that could be lost paying expenses for the remaining five months of the year. In a July 30 report, the port’s maintenance team said the Theler Center needed a new floor in the kitchen, new conference room ceiling, new gutters, new paint and a new toilet in one restroom. Several additional, less-pressing repairs were also noted. The maintenance team estimated the cost of these repairs to be about $20,000. The port originally submitted a request for proposal to NMSD in June, detailing a series of three one-year leases of the facility to Port of Allyn for $1 per year, after which, the port expected to negotiate a transfer of ownership. Sam Theler’s will, dated Aug. 29, 1968, dictates that the Mary E. Theler recreational center be owned and operated by the school district, but that “the building be used as much as feasible for public gatherings and meetings.” Rosenbach said she is not surprised by the retraction. “They (the Port of Allyn) are a money-making entity, so they (port commissioners) were concerned about the restrictions on the property,” she said. Rosenbach said the North Mason School District has had interest from other agencies, specifically the Washington State Parks Department. The school board will contact the parks department to see how serious its level of interest in the property is. “We will obviously need to have a conversation with the board and our community about what to do next,” Rosenbach said. “And of course, we will do what is best for our school district and our kids.”

Planning for future of historic oyster house begins By BRIANNA LOPER brianna@masoncounty.com

Journal photo by Brianna Loper

The historic Sargent Oyster House sits in the parking lot of the Port of Allyn building.

Groups working to restore the Sargent Oyster House in Allyn are planning to take the process one piece at a time, working on the project step-bystep as they gain funding. Judy Scott, Port of Allyn commissioner, hosted an informational session Sept. 15 to lay out plans to get the historic building restored, as well as gain public feedback. Scott, with help from Bonnie Knight, president of the North Bay Historical Society, presented a rough plan and budget to restore the house to its original configuration to turn the building into an interactive maritime museum. The building is currently located in the Port of Allyn building parking lot, but the groups hope to move it next

to the water, near the port’s old boat launch ramp. The ramp would be removed to allow space for the building. Several people attended the meeting to hear the plan, and pledged to volunteer for the project. The historical society and port plan to renovate the building in stages as they generate funding for the project, mostly through grants or in-kind donations. During the meeting, Knight presented a projected budget for the project, estimating it would cost about $450,000 total. The bulk of this would be an approximate $250,000 for restoration purposes, with $40,000 slated to move the building, $35,000 for piling and see HOUSE, page A-31

Grapeview commissioners accept budget for 2016 By BRIANNA LOPER brianna@masoncounty.com

coming year.

The Port of Grapeview commissioners voted last week to accept the port’s budget for 2016 at its monthly meeting. Overall, the budget leaves Grapeview in the black, with $6,918 in net operating reserves. The commissioners approved the budget by a vote of 3-0 at the Sept. 15 meeting. “Our big concern right now is budgeting,” said Port Commissioner Glenn Carlson in a phone interview Monday. The port already has a budget of $12,813, with $2,646 in its operating investment account and $10,167 in a general cash account. It plans to generate $25,147 in operating revenue through general property taxes, forest excise tax and interest income. The port’s expenses are expected to be salaries and wages, supplies, services and charges, and election costs, totaling $31,042 spent throughout the

NEW COMMISSIONER The Port of Grapeview has selected John Anderson as the new District 1 commissioner to represent the area around Mason and Benson lakes. Anderson has owned property on Mason Lake for 40 years, and is an active volunteer at the Mason Benson Lake Center and North Mason Food Bank. He is also a former member of the Grapeview School Board. “He seems like a good guy,” said Carlson. “He’s very energetic. He wants to see things happen.” The position was left vacant after previous commissioner, Bill VanderWal, died in August. Because the position was vacated after the deadline for elections, Anderson will serve through 2017. He will be sworn in during a special meeting on Oct. 13, with additional details available on the port’s website, www.portofgrapeview.com, at a later date.

Twanoh Falls Beach Club celebrates 50 years By BRIANNA LOPER brianna@masoncounty.com Twanoh Falls Beach Club residents took to the beach this month to celebrate half a century, complete with psychedelic attire and peace signs. Current members and past residents celebrated the 50-year anniversary of the club Sept. 13 with a 1960s-themed barbecue and potluck, reminiscent of the decade the club was founded. Festivities kicked off with a viewing of the Seattle Seahawks game, and continued with music throughout the day performed by Steve Stefanowicz. Attendees could purchase commemorative shirts and sweatshirts, with a unique logo designed by local artist Howard Leggett. The club was established and officially incorporated on Sept. 17, 1965, by local developer Jerry Reid. Local residents originally started the community as a recreational area for tenants on weekend and summer holiday, but now the area boasts many full-time occupants. Before 1965, the area where Twanoh Falls now sits was mostly camping lots, according to beach club president Scott Gordon. Those looking to build in the community could purchase small A-frame cabin packages at the local lumber store in Belfair and set up on the land. Eventually, enough cabin-owners were utilizing the area that it became common for residents to live there for a significant amount of time each

Membership of the Twanoh Falls Beach Club, made up of community property owners, operates and owns its own water system, roads and more

than 400 feet of beach on Hood Canal. It also has a pier and floating dock. There are almost 400 lots in the development. Twanoh Falls is one of the largest communities on the south shore of Hood Canal, located along state Route 106.

PACE CHOOSES MASCOT During recent months, students and faculty at PACE Academy have worked to select a mascot to represent the school. After much debate, the group settled on the Pathfinder to represent PACE Academy. “They want to build a strong identity based on, ‘Who do we want to be?’ ” Rosenbach said. “They’re all in agreement that this is a great analogy for what they’re trying to do.” Rosenbach said the group is still working on the visual of how the new mascot and logo will look, but wanted to get approval from the board before they moved forward with the branding project. The board accepted the Pathfinder as the new PACE mascot in a 4-0 vote. Dinah Griffey was absent from the meeting.

SWEARING STUDENTS IN North Mason High School junior Adin Welander took an oath of office to act as one of two Student Board members at the School Board meeting. Welander will represent the student body at the meetings through the end of the school year. Welander is the junior class president and plays for the high school football team. In his spare time, he volunteers at the Ocean Shores Fire Department. Representatives Alyson Stites and Mackenzy Ellis were unable to attend, but will be sworn in during the October meeting. The three students will rotate, with one student acting as a substitute representative, for each meeting. In his first official meeting, Welander expressed concern about the lack of automated external defibrillator, or AED, units at the new North Mason High School. There is only one AED, located by the gym. Welander cited statistics that a person has less than a 5 percent chance of survival on chest compressions alone, but that number greatly increases when an AED is used.

REJECTION OF BIDS The school board unanimously voted to reject all bids for the construction contract for the Hawkins Middle School Replacement and Modernization Project. In mid-September, the school district accepted bids for the project; all of the bids exceeded the district’s estimated cost of construction and the amount of funds available. Rosenbach said the district has extended the bid period by 90 days, allowing contractors to re-evaluate their bids and resubmit a new offer. The board was not required by law to vote to reject the bids, but board members agreed that the act would show district-wide solidarity. The construction project is part of the plan to update the school, supported through the bond passed last year that also paid for the construction of the new high school. The next board meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 15 in the North Mason School District administration office boardroom.

ENROLLMENT IS UP Early enrollment counts are already more than 40 students higher than estimated, according to district accountant Cathie Seevers. “We’re doing really, really well already this year,” Seevers said in an enrollment presentation during the board meeting. As of Sept. 14, North Mason School District has 2,081 students enrolled for the 2015-16 school year. This number is up from last school year, when 2,032 were officially enrolled for the year, recorded during the middle of the school year. Seevers warned that numbers in September are often considered preliminary because students may decide to transfer schools or join late. The state generally measures enrollment in October.

While federal and state requirements mandate Washington schools improve in seven different areas over the next year, North Mason School District decided to concentrate on just three of these. This will help teachers narrow their focus and improve at a faster rate, Superintendent Dana Rosenbach said. The district will work to ensure teachers are effective, strengthen the school’s instructional program and use data to inform instruction. The district hopes to improve greatly in these specific areas, instead of small improvements across the board, Rosenbach said. “We can’t really see great progress when we ask them (teachers) to change 20 or 30 areas at a time,” said Rosenbach during the North Mason School Board’s monthly meeting Sept. 17 at the district office. Because state standardized test scores for North Mason School District were lower than state average, the state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and Department of Education has instructed the district regularly monitor and report its efforts to improve. “We’re really focusing on providing the best possible instruction,” Rosenbach said. All seven areas, called the “Turnaround Principles,” are: Provide strong leadership, ensure teachers are effective and able to improve instruction, expand time for student learning and teacher collaboration, strengthen instructional programs, use data to inform instruction, establish a safe environment, and

engage families and communities. Rosenbach said she plans to work with teachers on the specific ways they can improve, drawing on past district training to build on their current teaching styles.

House: Groups looks to grants, donations, for funding continued from page A-28 preparation work, and $30,000 to remove the existing boat ramp. The rest of the cost would be made up of planning, permitting and moving the building. Knight also added a 15 percent contingency amount of $59,000 as a buffer for unforeseen costs. “This is our best estimate as of today,” Knight said during the meeting. “That number could go up or down, depending.” Knight said the number could go down if the groups can get volunteers to donate time, skills or manual labor to the project. Mary Thompson, a member of Artifacts Consulting Inc., a firm hired to help the groups find funding and permits for the restoration project, said she thought the budget was well thought out, based on her past experience. Thompson said she thought the group could easily get some funding through some grants like the Valerie Sivinski Washington Preserves Fund or the Community Foundation of

South Puget Sound. “A project like this would stand out to (these groups), because they don’t get many projects like it,” said Thompson, referring to the idea that the Sargent Oyster House is unaltered and would be returned to its former configuration. Thompson added that the sooner the historical society and port begin applying for and receiving grants, the sooner they would start building a following for the project. “In my experience, success breeds success,” she said. “Once you get some pots of funding, people start to get excited.” Bill Ray, an area marine biologist working on the restoration project, said he already inspected the shoreline where the old boat ramp sits and found no protected wildlife in the area, which will make getting county and state permits easier. The boat ramp has more than two times the footprint of a house on the waterfront, Ray said. The area already has a bathroom and parking lot installed, which decreases remodel costs and potential footprint.

The Port of Allyn and North Bay Historical Society are raising funds to move and restore the Sargent Oyster House. A museum would increase visits from tourists in Allyn, maximize income potential for the port and strengthen community relations, Knight said during the meeting. The historical society and the port plan to make the museum interactive, with videos, exhibits and tours. Knight said she has noticed historical museums are becoming a major drive for those attending museums. “A lot of us grew up in a time when museums had velvet ropes and ‘do not touch’ signs,” she said. “But that’s changing to be interactive.” The plan has not been voted on or approved by Port of Allyn commissioners, according to Scott, although

she believes at least two of the three will vote in favor of the plan at the next port meeting in October. However, the groups plan to get started as soon as possible, laying out a plan of action and applying for the proper permits through the county and the state Department of Fish & Wildlife. They expected it would take about a year to two years to get the right permits in place. For questions about the project or to volunteer, contact Knight at 8011064, or at bknighthome@aol.com. Donations can be sent to the North Bay Historical Society at P.O. Box 1313, Allyn, Washington, 98524.

MARY’S MEMOIRS It’s hunting season again. Mary’s brother Louie killed a deer and her brother Henry killed a bear! Better than last year’s efforts. Enjoy! — Thursday, Sept. 23, 1937 Ruth has all money orders written down so we checked them, then she added them up, so we feel we have quite a lot done. Sam delivered hay to Nichols today then he and Bill Tumeyer went to Tacoma, coming home at four. Then he went to Seattle about 6:30. Back tomorrow. I went to the beach and cleaned house good and mended store By CLYDENE coats that were full of holes. Mrs. HOSTETLER Gifford was in this evening telling us some of her experiences at the Rose Point Dance long ago. Wheeler Nance and his wife were in just before it closed up telling us how fast Dewatto was growing up. The CMC Timber Co. has come in with a lot of men to work.

I scraped the varnish off the tub today. It was quite a job. I’m going to try on some slipcovers Annie sent out. I hope I like them. Rod Godwin is drunk again tonight. Mrs. Anderson wants Sam and I to go with her and Lud to San Francisco to the Postmasters Convention and then to Los Angeles. I wouldn’t mind going to San Francisco but I don’t want to go south this time of the year. It’s no fun and I need my money for something else. Friday, Sept. 24, 1937 Fairly busy. A beautiful day. Sam was in Seattle all day. We went to the show with Bill Cady and his wife. We saw Ronald Colman in “The Lost Horizon.” It was a grand picture and left much to ponder over. Saturday, Sept. 25, 1937 A very busy day and I was all in by night. Got Sam’s hunting clothes all laid out as tomorrow is the big day! I never saw so many hunters out. Sunday, Sept. 26, 1937 Dorothy Eddy and I spent all day at the Puyallup fair. We had a fine

time. The biggest puzzle of the day was the flea circus. It sure got Dorothy stumped! We enjoyed Homer the Clown. Home early and ate dinner at Dorothy’s. Then to the beach and found Sam already in bed. No one got a deer although they saw several. Monday, Sept. 27, 1937 Al went to Seattle and was home early with the big truck. Then in the afternoon Sam went to Seattle to a meeting. Al and I closed up. Vera and Cole came over so we had lunch later at the beach. Ruth washed today and most of it is already dry. I will take all of hers up that I can tomorrow. Tuesday, Sept. 28, 1937 Sam hauled hay today and so did Emmitt. A quiet day. Louie killed a deer and is very proud. It was killed on September 27th. Henry killed a bear and so did John Jordan. They were after deer in a thicket and a bear came out. Wednesday, Sept. 29, 1937 Louie brought both bears down to

us and we put them in the icebox. He also put in some venison steak for us to eat. Sam hauled another load of hay and delivered the last to Nichols. Charlie and Emmett went hunting and saw nothing. — I got a kick reading about Dorothy’s interest in the flea circus. My first thought was “Did they really exist?” I went to Wikipedia and sure enough they did. They were not trained like people were led to believe. Jewelers would show off their skills by putting little gold chains around their necks and would glue miniature instruments to them so when they moved it looked like they were playing. Were fleas bigger back in 1937? Thank you for reading this week’s diary. — Clydene Hostetler is a longtime Belfair resident, local historian, media archivist and documentary filmmaker of “Hidden in Plain Sight.” She has been researching Mary Theler’s life for the past 12 years.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

Women shined in sports world this summer

abor Day has come and gone, and fall sports in Mason County are getting into full swing. But before we say goodbye to summer, I want to reflect on how monumental of a summer it was for women in sports. To start, the U.S. Women’s National Team claimed its first World Cup title since 1999. This

year young, soccer girls fell in love with Megan Rapinoe and Tobin Heath, both professional soccer players in our backyards. The United States’ final vs. Japan had a record 24.5 million viewers watch the game. The team was honored with a ticker-tape parade in New York. There were also some issues that were brought to light before

and after the game. Unlike the men, the women were forced to play on turf fields, which presented man challenges for players. The media also brought up that the Women’s World Cup total payout was only $15 million, compared to the total for the men’s World Cup game last year of $576 million.

After the women’s World Cup, we switched our attention to the San Antonio Spurs’ summer league games and Becky Hammon. The team hired the former WNBA star before the 2014-15 season as a Spurs’ full-time assistant coach. While we didn’t hear much about her last season, see GAME, page B-5

Over the summer, Preston Poulton (holding the ball) spent 30 minutes a day watching film and learning the North Mason Bulldogs’ plays. It paid off when he was named the starting quarterback this fall.

Sophomore takes lead

North Mason QB adjusts to new role By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ alexandria@masoncounty.com

During his freshman year, Preston Poulton struggled on the football field. He wasn’t starting, but he was playing for the C team and was the backup for the North Mason JV squad. But Poulton wanted more. So over the summer, the quarterback refocused his energy. He spent 30 minutes a day watching film, and went to every summer practice and camp. In the end, it paid off when he was named varsity starter this fall. But with the position comes a heavy burden.

Poulton prepares for a throw during practice Tuesday. “For our first home game it felt like any other game,” Poulton said. “But once we got to that first away

game, and not having people cheering for me and cheering for the team, it was a little different. So I

felt it then. I felt the pressure.” On the field, what Poulton lacks in age he makes up for in leadership and coachability. When Poulton was named the starting quarterback, senior guard Chad Schoonhoven admitted his teammates were a little nervous. The fate of the team was going to rest in someone who didn’t have a drivers’ license and spent last year playing on the C team. That all changed once the team started practicing with him. “I was honestly scared in the beginning,” Schoonhoven said. “But at team camp, he did great. He was learning well and he was really mature. He did a good job and that’s when I was like, ‘Alright I have faith in you,’ and started backing him up.” Schoonhoven said on the field see QUARTERBACK, page B-5

a Simpson Timber Co. railroad section crew. We can thank Heather and Bernie Games, the live-in park caretakers, for the wonderful condition of Truman Glick. Starting with a cheery “Welcome” sign, to the impeccable trail grooming, and finally–– though embarrassing to mention it––bottles of hand sanitizer and mirrors on makeshift vanity dressers in the two pit toilets. The Gameses have generously offered to keep the park open on weekends throughout this winter––clearly not the norm. It’s the dedication of such folks who make a real difference, not only in parks and recreation, but in all aspects of life. Directions: Arriving in Matlock via Shelton Matlock Road, continue straight at the intersection on Deckerville Road, going 2.2 miles until you come to Ford Road. Make a right on Ford and go 1.2 miles until you see the park, with its chain-link fence, on your left. n Mark Woytowich is a writer, photographer and video producer who lives in Potlatch.

The Red Zone Week 3 — Mason County prep football

Journal photo by Alexandria Valdez

The Bulldogs practice on their new turf practice field last Tuesday. North Mason is 1-2 overall and 1-0 in district so far this season. By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ alexandria@masoncounty.com Last week the Knight Owls, Highclimbers and Bulldogs were all on the road and all three teams came away with victories. Here is how they did it: Shelton led by junior class to victory The Shelton Highclimbers opened the regular season with a dominating 26-6 win over Foss High School. Once again Shelton turned to its dynamic junior duo of Kyle Kimball and Willy Ruiz. Kimball had 73 receiving yards and the final touchdown that was a 60-yard pass from quarterback Tyler Giraldes. Ruiz rushed for 161 yards and had two touchdowns. Offensively, Shelton hit all its marks. Giraldes was 4-for11 on 89 yards and Ruiz had a game high 22 carries. Colton Paller had 15 carries for 79 yards and Tanner Rhodes had two carries for 16 yards. Another junior who had a strong night was Marshall

Record: 2-1 overall, 1-0 district Best Performance on offense: Junior Willy Ruiz once again stepped up to the plate for Shelton, rushing for 161 yards and two touchdowns. Best Performance on defense: Several players had great nights, but senior Gabe Reyna stood out with three tackles, a forced fumble and one interception. North Mason NABS first win of the year The Bulldogs finally found its first win of the season with a 20-14 road win over district opponent Port Angeles High School. Defense played a critical role in the game and a trio of seniors had big nights. Cole Rinehart had nine tackles and

10 carries for a team leading 90 yards. Sterling McIntosh had 6.5 total sacks, 1 tackle for loss and one touchdown. Finally, Mac Jones had 6 total tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss. Quarterback Preston Poulton scored one touchdown, rushed for 9 yards and was 1-for-2 through the air. Overall, it was a better game than last week. “We played much better Friday night,” head coach Jeff Bevers said. “We had no turnovers on offense and created two on defense. The defense also had Port Angeles under 100 yards rushing and 100 yards passing.” This weekend, the Bulldogs are back in North Mason when they face Kingston at 7 p.m. on Friday. Record: 1-2 overall, 1-0 district Best Performance on offense: A tie between Cole Rinehart and Sterling McIntosh. Rinehart had 10 carries for 90 yards while McIntosh had 8 carries for 69 yards and one touchdown.

McCullough. During Friday’s game, McCullough had one sack and one interception. Senior Gabe Reyna also had one interception. Shelton plays its first home district game at 7 p.m. Friday against Lincoln.

Best Performance on defense: There were several players who had big nights on defense, and Bevers cited Terry Reminders, Brody Knapp, Nico Ramirez and Tyler Thomas as standouts. Some of their highlights included: one interception from Reminders, 3.5 total sacks from Knapp, Ramirez had 2.5 total sacks and Thomas had one sack and 1.5 tackles for loss. Mary M. Knight gets first victory of season After struggling in its first two games, the Knight Owls finally found their spark under the Friday night-lights in Muckleshoot last week. The Knight Owls beat the Muckleshoot Kings 40-12. “It was a great first win for our boys, and I believe will really elevate their confidence going into our league games,” assistant coach Cory O’Neil said. “You could tell that the players are finally starting to fully understand Coach Thompson’s zone read offense and my multiple front hybrid defense.” This year’s team is young, with only seven returning

players and two seniors are out with injuries. Taking the helm at quarterback was freshman Zach Thompson, who went 4-for-11 on 140 yards and had three touchdowns. Thompson also had 10 carries for 46 yards. Junior Quentin Narrance had five touchdowns and 22 carries for 112 yards. Sophomore Ian Frost had one touchdown, three fumble recoveries and 12 tackles. On defense, senior Timmy Oien had 17 tackles and sophomore Jason Shaw had one interception. The Night Owls’ next game is at 7 p.m. on Friday against Taholah. Record: 1-2 overall Best Performance on offense: Freshman Zach Thompson, who O’Neil said played with poise and leadership for his first game at quarterback. Best Performance on defense: Senior Timmy Oien, who O’Neil said is the anchor of the defensive line and created many problems during the game.

Quarterback: Young player has had ups and downs so far continued from page B-1 age doesn’t matter and the team protects him like any other quarterback. Usually, there are two ways people lead: vocally or through actions. Poulton falls into both categories. Schoonhoven said at practice Poulton is not afraid to admit when he’s messed up on a play, but he also asserts himself. When he runs drills, he jumps into holes that need to be filled and is responsive to coaches. These were some of the traits that popped out in spring training to head coach Jeff Bevers. One thing that stood out was Poulton knew the plays. In practice, he also showed great playmaking ability. Bevers knew he was the right choice this fall. “The first football game, I thought he did a nice job running our offense and had some good confidence,” Bevers said. “Second ball game, we had a few errors and a few mistakes. His confidence kind of wavered a little bit and it was hard for him to bounce back. But he’s young and we expect those things to happen.” The first game Poulton played in was the Mason County Cup, the fourth annual matchup between Shelton and North Mason. Poulton had two touchdowns and rushed for 122 yards. His first touchdown was a 57-yard run that put North Mason up on the board. On Sept. 10, the Bulldogs traveled to Elma for their first road game, where they lost 45-14. It was the first time Poulton said he felt pressure and it showed in his stats. There were eight turnovers in the game and Poulton went 2-for-5 and rushed for 62 yards. Poulton earned his first win as a starter when the Bulldogs won their first district game on the road 20-14 against Port Angeles last Friday. Despite these early-season road

When he’s not on the field, he’s still thinking about football. He said one of his favorite things to do with downtime is write down plays and a fake defense to see how the defense would react. Poulton has three years to evolve as a quarterback with the Bulldogs, and Bevers thinks he can be among the best at the school. This year will be full of learning and coaching up, but Poulton has one milestone in mind he wants to reach that hasn’t been done in more

Other women who have made sports headlines include Serena Williams and Jen Welter. Williams came into focus after she won her 21st Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. Welter

became an assistant coaching intern for the Arizona Cardinals and worked with the inside linebackers. While we praise these women when they’re at the top of the game, they quickly fall out of the headlines. Yes, millions tuned in to watch the Women’s World Cup, but several professional women’s soccer organizations in the U.S. have failed over the years. It was

great to see Hammon and Welter coaching but people are still critical about women coaching men, even though men coach female athletes all the time. And during Wimbledon, Williams’ body came under scrutiny for being “too manly” looking. I’m not sure if women will ever get to the viewership or numbers that men, do but we can do our best to help these opportunities stay around. The

ALUMNI UPDATE

Shelton graduate settling in at Pacific Lutheran By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ alexandria@masoncounty.com When Justin Demattos considered colleges, they needed to meet two criteria: It had to be a private college and have a tennis team. The 2015 Shelton High School graduate fell in love with Division III Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma and on Sept. 10 officially began practicing as a walk-on for the Lutes. In two weeks of practice,

Demattos noticed tos already made an changes between the early impression. high school and colThis weekend, the lege level. Lutes are playing in “Definitely the pace an Intercollegiate that people play at in Tennis Association the game,” Demattos tournament and playsaid. “A lot of the colers on the team comlege guys are hitting peted in a qualifier Demattos harder and they have game to earn a spot. a lot more spin and The top eight playa lot more awareness on the ers travel to the tournament court.” at Whitman College in Walla The regular season doesn’t Walla, but only the top five start until spring, but Dematplay in the tournament.

Demattos earned the fifth slot. “It was really exiting,” he said. “I expected that I would be in last place and would have to play for an alternate spot, but I ended up making the real team.” Now, Demattos said his goal is to play in a varsity match this spring. Demattos started college this fall and is a physics major. He was a four-year varsity letterman at Shelton and started

playing tennis when he was 10 years old at the Shelton Parks and Recreation camp. His favorite memory from playing at Shelton was playing at the state tournament in May at Eastern Washington University. n If there is a Mason County athlete you would like to see a story on, or if you know one you would like to see featured, email alexandria@ masoncounty.com.

Climbers stumble in 5-0 shutout loss to Capital By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ alexandria@masoncounty.com It was an even match the first 30 minutes of the Highclimbers soccer game on Sept. 17. But in the last 15 minutes, the Capital Cougars found a gap in the Climbers’ defense and took the opportunity to pounce. After the Cougars found their momentum, Shelton couldn’t keep up with the Cougars as they shut out Shelton 5-0. One problem the Highclimbers dealt with before the match was sickness and injuries. “Half of our team is sick and we have four people injured,” Shelton head coach Dan Deacon said. “Our starting team is what we have as far as competitive varsity level with other competitive teams, so if we lose a player we drop down in skill level. But they played really well, we just couldn’t maintain the level all the way through.” Capital scored its first goal in the 33rd minute and fired off two more to take a 3-0 lead. In the second half, the Cougars continued to control the field physically. The Climbers struggled to keep up and usually trailed behind them when Capital attacked the Climbers’ net. Deacon said Capital used a quick short game,

The Highclimbers struggled against Capital and had only one shot on goal, one corner kick and 16 saves. which is something he’s working on with the Climbers. Capital scored two more goals in the final 10 minutes to seal the win. The Cougars ended the match with 15 shots on goal, one save and six corner kicks. During the second half, Shelton junior defender Anika Davison was carried off after a hip pointer injury from

two weeks ago flared up, Deacon said. The best performance for Shelton came in front of the net. Although the Climbers only had one shot on goal and one corner kick, they had 16 total saves between two keepers. The combined effort came from senior Shy McEachern and sophomore Carrington Waylett. McEachern has

previous goalie experience and stepped into the net the first half because Waylett was sick. “I’m usually a forward for the season but I had about nine saves so that was really good,” McEachern said. “It’s really nerve-racking having to one-onone a player and all you got to do is try your hardest and I did.” Deacon said the key for Shelton is finding consistency. With key players out of the team’s lineup, Deacon brought up younger players who didn’t have that much experience. While it hurt them on the field, it was a good experience for them because they will fill the holes on the varsity team once many of the starters graduate. Even though the team played one of its best games said senior defender Jaymie Pentony, she said the team is still frustrated. “When teams come in to play as a new season, we’re still trying to figure out how we play together, how we adapt,” Pentony said. “We’re basically like one big family so we have to learn how to know adapt together, so that’s what we’re trying to do. Fourth game in we’re starting to get to each other’s strengths and weaknesses and so we’re learning how to cover each other a lot better.”

Welcome to OysterFest!

A message from the Grand Old Oyster

s the 2015 Grand Old Oyster (GOO) it is my singular privilege to welcome you to this year’s OysterFest. The Skookum Rotary Club has been hosting OysterFest for 34 years for one reason: Community. The true purpose of OysterFest is to assist the nonprofits in our community by raising funds for them. OysterFest has grown over the years (last year was one of our best) and the money you spend at OysterFest has brought millions of dollars in aid to our local nonprofits. Not only does OysterFest raise money for Skookum Rotary’s charitable causes, on top of that, every vendor is raising money for their own nonprofit.

The money we raised last year funded 27 local scholarships, the Mason County Science Fair and other academic excellence programs, like taking the top 10 percent of our students on a learning road trip to Pacific Lutheran University. And our efforts aren’t just focused on our children. We also maintain the downtown senior garden, Music in the Park at Wallace Kneeland and Rotarians regularly volunteer to clean downtown Shelton. Skookum Rotary also lends a hand outside of Shelton with medical missions throughout the world. Our disaster relief tents are sent around the globe. These tents are amazing — just one can

provide relief for a family of 10 stricken by a natural disaster. And OysterFest is good for the business community as the 30,000-plus people we draw tend to stay and spend, so it has a real effect on our community — lots of people make this a destination site. Our club has worked hard on our new location, which had no buildings or resources. After a year of planning, we’re bringing in tents, portable bathrooms, showers and doing the groundwork to provide light and security for a safe and memorable 2015 OysterFest. We’ll have a beer garden, a wine garden, lots of good music and great food — every vendor offers something different. So come and have a good time, it’s for a lot of good causes.

This year’s OysterFest shucking competitions will, as usual, draw competitors from around the United States.

Two decades of shucking Three men who meet at OysterFest each year share common bond at annual competition

or more than 20 years, Andy Conklin has made the game time decision to participate in the half-shell shucking competition at OysterFest. Most of the time, Conklin would rather not participate. Then his friends convince him otherwise. “Every year I say I’m not going to put myself through it,” Conklin, who is in his 30s, said. “My friends always talk me into it.” His friends, Troy Pitts and Mark Bulzomi, have been competing at OysterFest since the ’80s. The two met when they were kids and later became friends with Conklin, who volunteered at the event — now officially known as the West Coast Speed and Half-Shell Oyster Shucking Competition — as a stagehand. Bulzomi said Conklin was 10 years old when he showed him how to shuck an oyster. “Andy was my first student — let’s put it that way — and he has gotten better and better,” Bulzomi said. Conklin and Pitts consider themselves amateurs, while Bulzomi, or “Bully,” is arguably the best of three, having won the competition twice — once in 1995 and once in 1997. Bully, 54, said he started shucking oysters at F.X. McRory’s in Seattle in 1979, where competition between the oyster bar employees would get fierce. He still works the oyster bar before Seattle Seahawks games. Bully and Pitts worked together at Ray’s Boathouse in Seattle. Conklin also worked at the restaurant when he got older. Year after year, the three would go to OysterFest to reunite and compete. Pitts and Conklin share a similar attitude when it comes to shucking oysters: Have fun. “They point and laugh at me (when competing) and I am OK with that,” Pitts said. “Mark is the pro, he has been shucking since 1977.” Conklin describes himself as “good for the average guy.” He isn’t a chef or a shell fisherman – he is a real estate agent in Shelton, who for most of the year doesn’t even think about the briny little bi-valves. In last year’s competition, Conklin didn’t come close to winning, but he did receive the award for best amateur, posting a time of 4 see SHUCKING, page C-7

“I was a lot faster in the older days. I go and shuck in the competition now, and get blown out of the water.” Troy Pitts, long-time OysterFest shucker

SHUCKING cont. from page C-5 minutes, 30 seconds, which is almost twice as fast as when he started doing the competition 20 years ago. Conklin has a difference distinction — he holds the Oysterfest record for slowest time, which he said is 9 minutes, 30 seconds. Pitts, on the other hand, has made it to the finals at, “at least once.” “I was a lot faster in the older days,” Pitts, 46, said. “I go and shuck in the competition now and get blown out of the water.” Both Pitts and Conklin attribute their oyster shucking skills to Bulzomi. “Mark really paved the way and got me hooked on it,” he said. He remembers his first competition fondly. “I had no idea what to expect and they kicked the crap out of me,” he said. “Mark went on to win the competition that year, I think.” This year, the three men will reunite at the annual Shelton event. “We have a lot of lifelong friends we met down there,” Pitts said. “It’s just really super cool.” Bulzomi said he will definitely participate in the competition on Sunday and that he embraces being the old head in the competition. “Maybe I am one of those old guys that won’t give up,” he said. “I’d like to win it three time in 30 years, but that is slipping away from me. “Now all these kids are shucking 24 oysters in a minute and a half.” Bulzomi’s fastest time in the competition is 2 minutes and 13 seconds. Last year, the fastest time was 1 minute and 16 seconds for the speed competition. But Bulzomi always believes he has a shot at winning every year. “Depends on who shows up,” he said.

Come and learn at OysterFest

nformational exhibits are an important part of OysterFest, adding to the family atmosphere. Washington Sea Grant has taken on the touch tanks this year, one of the most popular exhibits. The tanks have under-the-sea creatures to touch and see up close, with experts to interpret and explain the wonders from under the water. In addition to the Shelton Scale Ship Modelers display of beautifully detailed vintage model ships that cruise across a large water tank, there will be remote controlled model airplanes— very fitting for our new location on the old runway north of Sanderson Field. Other exhibits provide opportunities to learn about water quality, sustainable natural resources and shellfish safety. Additionally, Mason County PUD 3 has an electrical safety display. There are also several displays highlighting some of the Skookum Rotary projects that directly benefit from revenues produced at OysterFest, both in Mason County and South Africa. In all, there are at least 17 informational exhibits at OysterFest this year. Look for these exhibits in the tents with the touch tanks, souvenirs and wine tasting.

FOR 80 YEARS

In 1935, employees at Rayonier Pulp and Paper Company gathered their money and started this credit union. It wasn’t to be a charity, it was a way that people who knew and trusted each other could pool their money and do bigger things. Some saved and others borrowed and they grew together. From the

Peninsula Credit Union has been there for our Members.

humble beginnings of the $35 they pulled together that day to the $150 million represented today by five branches, 72 employees and over 18,000 members, the Peninsula Credit Union of today honors our past and looks brightly upon our future.

Wine tasting an OysterFest Tradition By Brianna Loper

ine-lovers, rejoice! With Washington wines being some of the most popular in the country, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no wonder that the OysterFest experience is not complete without a trip to the wine-tasting tent. More than 70 wines by 18 Washington wineries will be served at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OysterFest. From whites to reds, sweet to dry, and everything in between, attendees can experience the best that the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wineries have to offer, all in one convenient location. Four of those wineries â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hoodsport Winery, Mosquito Fleet Winery, Stottle Winery and Walter Dacon â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are based in or have locations in Mason County.

A souvenir glass is $5, and wine tasting tickets are $1. Tastings are two or three tickets, depending on the wine. For those tasters who discover their new favorite blend, full bottles of wine can be purchased on-site. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People can buy what they really like and take it back home or to their RV,â&#x20AC;? said Jim Morrell, OysterFest organizer and Skookum Rotary member. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can keep it to themselves or share with friends.â&#x20AC;? All of the event profits go to the Skookum Shelton Rotary Club, which runs both the wine tasting and microbrew booths, for its scholarship fund and other events where members give back to the community. see WINE, page C-32

A toast to OysterFest Shelton woman has 36 different wine glasses from annual event

By Gordon Weeks

o one seems better equipped to toast OysterFest than Jackie Wood. The Shelton resident has collected 36 glasses at the annual event. “Each year, they’re different, which is cool,” she said. Wood said she enjoys the festival’s food and wine. “We try to go on Saturdays, because sometimes on Sunday, (the glasses) are gone,” she said. Through all the festival changes, one constant has remained the same since Wood’s first event: the price of the glass has always been $5. Woods keeps the glasses boxed away, and she hopes some day to display them in a fine china cabinet. Her other collection is hummingbirds.

Jackie Wood displays the 36 glasses she has collected from the OysterFest.

“... it was just ground this morning.”

Cheers for

beers

By Brianna Loper

t is one of life’s little disputed facts that a good beer can accompany just about anything — especially seafood. This year, a plethora of microbrews will share the spotlight with fresh seafood at OysterFest. Beer-lovers will feel right at home in the festival’s traditional beer garden, which even features its own music stage, making it the

perfect place to relax. Discover new favorite brews with friends, or sip a few favorite beers while listening to live music. This year, 24 breweries are scheduled to bring some of their very best brews, from hard ciders and amber ales, to stouts and porters. The microbrew area opens at 10 a.m. both

days. Last call is at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 3 and 4:30 p.m. Oct. 4. Entrants must show proof of identification to enter the garden and will be given a wristband to denote they are over 21 years old. Tickets for beer purchases are sold separately.

Roughing it at OysterFest

amping at OysterFest will continue to be an event in itself. The facilities will be a bit different this year, in most ways better than ever, yet we have held the price the same, and eliminated the extra vehicle charge. The procedures for reservations will also be a bit different, and, of course, better than ever. OysterFest will be on the north side of the Port of Shelton property on an abandoned airport runway. The entire festival, including car parking and RVs, will be inside a fenced area. There will be another fence surrounding the actual festival. RVs will be parked on the east and west sides of the festival, just outside the paved runway, outside the inside fence, stretching the entire length of the festival. Access to the event will be through gates on each side as well as through the general admission gate on the north side. Each RV site will be 20-feet wide and be a minimum of 40-feet deep, with most sites deeper. They will all be back-in sites. There will be

parking for vehicles that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit. There are three types of sites and reservations: Reserved; first come-first served; and tent/small RV. All sites are $30 per night on Friday and Saturday nights. This includes one night camping and one day admission for two people. Camping is also available on Thursday night and Sunday night for $15 per night. Campers may arrive starting at noon on Thursday. On-site registration will be open on Thursday from noon to 6 p.m., Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. If you arrive at times outside of these times, you are welcome to park in the overflow area, and come to the RV registration tent when it opens. For information on camping, including specifics on reservations and descriptions of tent/small RV sites at OysterFest, go to www.oysterfest.org. no fees for additional vehicles, but all vehicles must be parked in the 20-by-40 area, off the designated roads. There will be plenty of nearby room in general

Kids have plenty to do at OysterFest, too FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What day and time is the event? The Friday preceding the Festival. Two sessions are offered, 9 to 11:30 a.m. and noon to 2:30 p.m. What is the cost to attend Kids’ Day at OysterFest? There is no cost to attend – this is a free event! Where is the Port of Shelton Fairground? The Fairground is located ¾ mile north of the Wallace Kneeland Boulevard exit on US Highway 101 in Shelton, WA Where can I park? Is there a fee? There is plenty of free parking just outside the main Fairgrounds gate. No parking will be allowed inside the gate after the event begins. At what grade level are the participating students? All 4th grade students in Mason and Thurston counties are invited to Kids’ Day at OysterFest.

anger, danger: the Port of Shelton fairgrounds will once again be overrun by students during the 23nd Kids’ Day at OysterFest. Back by popular demand and overwhelming response by fourthgrade students and their teachers, Skookum Rotary and Washington Sea Grant will host Kids’ Day at OysterFest once again. Five hundred students from Mason and Thurston county fourth-grade classes will visit OysterFest on Oct. 2. Teachers are excited about letting their students loose to learn all they can from the educational displays and activities provided

WINE cont. from page C-23 For the first time in the history of the festival’s wine tasting, which dates back to the 1980s, one winery will display an OysterFest-labeled wine, adorned with the festival’s official artwork. “It’s a new twist on a way to recognize great wineries and contributors,” said Morrell. “We’re super excited about it.” Convergence Zone Cellars, located in Woodinville, was selected to adorn two wines — a red and a white — with the honorary label this year. “Stormfront,” one of the winery’s most popular reds, has a bold, smoky flavor with hints of tobacco, clove, cherry and strawberry, while the white, “Drizzle,” is a sweet Pinot Gris. Last year, OysterFest attendees bought 2,644 bottle of wine throughout the festival, according to Morrell. And while you’re at the festival this year, try to figure out the answer to this important question: Which wines pair best with a plate of geoduck?

by agencies and citizen groups. Many teachers use this as a jumping off point for some of their environmental studies units. During the half-day tour, students will learn about water, what lives in water, how to keep it clean and how to be safe in water-based recreational activities. Almost 100 Mason County residents volunteer each year to help pull the event together and carry it through the day. Thanks to wonderful partnerships with organizations such as the City of Shelton, Hood Canal Aquanuts, Mason Conservation District, Mason County Medic One, Mason County PUD 3, North Ma-

son Kiwanis, the Skokomish Tribe, Skookum Rotary, Washington Sea Grant, Washington state Department of Ecology, Washington state Department of Health and Washington State University Extension, we will have some magnificent hands-on activities at Kids’ Day. Each year the event has brought together residents to help explore and explain the natural resource wonders of Mason County. More than 10,000 fourth-grade students have participated in the event since it began in 1993. Kids’ Day is funded by the Skookum Rotary Club Foundation and Washington Sea Grant. - Teri King

We home school our children – can they attend Kids’ Day? Yes! Home school students of the appropriate age and grade level are welcome but must pre-register to attend. Can I bring my dog? Sorry, the Port of Shelton Fairgrounds does not allow pets inside the gate. Service animals are allowed. Will we be able to purchase food at Kids’ Day?
