Ecology releases comments on toxic dump project’s progress

A local fix to save lives Emergency responders offer free option

By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncounty.com In comments to the state Department of Ecology, Shelton residents expressed dismay at the amount of time it’s taken to address the toxic former C Street landfill west of downtown Shelton.

Residents also questioned whether the state can count on the City of Shelton to clean up its former landfill, and whether other agencies — including Simpson Lumber Co. — should take some responsibility for the cleanup.

Those are among the public comments on an agreed order for the cleanup of the C Street landfill site given to the state Department of Ecology between Feb. 8 and April 6.

Some of the comments were recorded during public open houses and presentations on Feb. 9 at the Shelton Civic Center, and March 30 at Mason County PUD 3’s building. Other comments were sent to the agency. All the comments, and the responses, were released last week in a 72-page report.

The agreed order is a legal

How much would you pay to ensure you could save your own life?

That’s the question many people around the globe have been asking themselves in recent weeks, after a New York Times article exposed that the price of EpiPens have more than doubled in the past decade.

The article, published last month, cited the listed price for a two-pack of EpiPens at $609, up from $295 in 2007. The company that makes the EpiPen, Mylan, is the only commercial manufacturer of the life-saving shot for those with anaphylactic allergies; there is no generic injector.

North Mason Regional Fire Authority chief Beau Bakken said he thinks it should cost just a couple dollars to save a life.

“It can get really expensive really fast,” Bakken said, adding that because the drug goes bad, the shot needs to be replaced see EPIPEN, page A-20

Hospital to Shelton man: ‘We have a kidney for you’ Former Journal reporter receives ‘second chance’

By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncounty.com

J

eff Green’s new kidney untethers him from dialysis machines and gives the 69-year-old Lake Limerick resident a “second chance” at life.

But first things first: Where’s his grilled cheese sandwich?

That was Green’s first request following kidney transplant surgery July 27 at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle.

“I hadn’t had a grilled cheese sandwich for five

years,” said Green, who wrote for the Journal from 1996 to 2008.

Green no longer has to undergo debilitating dialysis treatments to clean his blood three times a week.

“His attitude has changed,” said his wife, Mason County Superior Court Judge Toni Sheldon. “He has a new lease on life. There are things that he wants to accomplish.”

Green has a couple more reasons at home to stay healthy: He became a firsttime father at 52 when Sheldon gave birth to twins, Tommy and Mikey, who are now

seniors at Capital High School and also attending the Running Start program at South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia.

About five years ago, Green began suffering from shortness of breath and itchiness all over his body; he also had to urinate often.

“I thought it was my heart,” Green said.

Green was staying at a cabin on Hood Canal when he found he couldn’t catch his breath just walking across the room. His friend called for an ambulance.

“I was gasping for air,” he recalled. “It was terrible.” see KIDNEY, page A-19

Help for former Olympic Panel, Simpson employees

By GORDON WEEKS gordon@masoncounty.com Workers laid off at Olympic Panel Products and Simpson Timber Co. sawmill in Shelton in July and August can apply for benefits for two years, thanks to Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) from the U.S. Department of Labor.

The U.S. Labor Department earlier this month announced the final certification of the petition by state and local representatives for TAA. The laid-off workers are eligible for weekly income support payments, health coverage tax credits and re-employment services.

“The Labor Department correctly identified these hard-working Americans as folks who lost their jobs due to the impact of foreign competition,” U.S. Rep. Denny Heck said in a news release. “These employees deserve a fair shot at another paycheck, and I’m glad we can provide them with assistance to find a new place to report to work.”

On Aug. 31, Heck, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell and U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Labor asking for timely consideration of the TAA petition.

“The recently-separated workers at OPP are facing a prolonged period of uncertainty,” the letter stated. “We ask for prompt and fair consideration of their request to allow them to plan and make critical decisions about their future.”

The laid-off workers can apply for the services and benefits through their local American Job Center, which in Mason County is run through the Washington Employment Security Division. Employees at the center and

McIntosh touts experience working in criminal justice system

By MICHAEL HEINBACH michael@masoncounty.com Editor’s note: This is the second in a four-part series that will feature each of the four candidates running for the two positions up for election on the Mason County Board of Commissioners on November’s ballot. This week’s profile is on Kelley McIntosh, who is challenging Randy Neatherlin for the District 1 seat.

Kelley McIntosh believes she has the right amount of experience in public service, a firm grasp of the challenges that lie ahead and a strong, locally based voice required to represent the citizens of Mason County. That’s why McIntosh is challenging incumbent Randy Neatherlin for the District 1 seat on the Board of Mason County Commissioners in November’s election.

A graduate of Shelton High School and current chairperson of the North Mason Regional Fire Authority board, McIntosh feels her 16 years of work in the Thurston County pretrial services programs — what she called “babysitting bad guys” — and her 25 years total of work in criminal justice gives her an unmatched perspective of one of the most pressing issues facing the county.

“At the end of the day, I feel like the majority of our budget within the county is public safety and law and justice, and I’m the only candidate with 25 years of criminal justice experience” McIntosh told the Journal. “It’s a complicated system and my unique background in what I do means that you have to know the entire system from start to finish — from the minute somebody’s arrested until they’re convicted at the DOC (Department of Cor-

rections) and come back.

“It’s complicated. There’s so much overlap to all the criminal-justice stakeholders. And so being there, I’m the one as we sit there and talk about these complicated issues between the courts and the jails, I speak that language. And so I feel I’m in a better position to hold trust with those other leaders.”

Her background in criminal justice has helped McIntosh grow highly in favor of therapeutic courts in combatting the issues of overcrowding at the Mason County Jail and the area’s drug problem.

“Most people know that drugs are bad,” she said. “I never met an addict who on career day said, ‘Gosh, I hope I grow up to go to prison and be an addict.’ But when you can get to what’s broken inside, and for many of them there’s so much trauma or whatever they’ve endured as a child …

“That’s why for me, I’m a big proponent of those therapeutic courts because we’re not going to quit making people criminals until we can really

address all those issues. We take addiction and we take mental health and we take all these actions that are just part of the broken person. We’ve criminalized them instead of fixing that and quit rotating them through the system.”

McIntosh is running as a member of the Independent Party, while facing off against Neatherlin, who is unaffiliated with a political party. According to McIntosh, her loose ties to a political party would help her unify the voice of the community members she hopes to represent.

“I’m probably leaning even more towards Libertarian than Independent,” said McIntosh. “And the reason is that I think a lot of our politics have been more divisive than unifying, and when you are working on a really local level, I don’t think we need to have those divisive politics. It’s about serving the public. Some of my personal feelings … I lean more socially to the left, but I think it’s really important that we be fiscally conservative and responsible. So I don’t think I fit in a box anywhere.

“There’s a lot of diversity in my family and I don’t think that it’s the government’s position to dictate a lot of those things about people’s lifestyles or religion. I just don’t think there’s a place for that, but at the other end of the spectrum, I do think we have a responsibility when we’re spending tax payers’ dollars.”

That ties into why McIntosh is running for county commissioner in the first place.

“I look at the Board of County Commissioners as it’s supposed to be the vision for the county,” McIntosh said.

“That vision and that leadership should

really be about building relationships, building communication not only within the board, but with other elected officials and department heads. And right now, I see a lot of friction within the board with other elected officials.”

Part of what McIntosh hopes to accomplish in creating a unifying voice within the commission is assisting it in developing a general strategic plan for the future of Mason County.

“For me, the biggest issue right now that I think our county should tackle is a strategic plan,” she said. “I know we have the Mason County comprehensive plan and shoreline plans and all these other plans, but the one thing they seem to lack is that cohesiveness.

What are the objectives, what are the actual actions and what are the measurable outcomes?

“How we define our community and our area as we’re in transition, then we need to work together, kind of get over ourselves a little bit, and put together a strategic plan so that we can make things actually happen.”

According to McIntosh, helping make Mason County more attractive to future economic development is very high on the list of priorities facing the county commissioners during the next term.

“I look at the basis and core and say government is supposed to mean public safety, public health, roads and education,” said McIntosh. “That’s our core mission. But the other thing that I’ve found in terms of looking at economic development is sometimes getting out of the way of business so they can come and spur more economic development. What can we do to make it easier for them to be attracted to this area?”

T

he saga of Mary E. Theler Wetlands and Community Center seems to be coming to an end — at least, for now.

Last week, the North Mason School Board signed legal documents to dissolve the trust binding the school district to the locations, putting a period on a years-long controversy over the future of one of Belfair’s most popular and iconic locations.

The Samuel B. Theler Testamentary Trust, as it was named, was put into place after Belfair resident Sam Theler’s death. The trust, named after Sam’s late wife, Mary, whose diary entries appear in the Belfair Herald each week, was intended to pay for the management of the wetlands and community center after his death. The Thelers were prominent

business owners and community members in North Mason throughout the early 1900s.

But financial mismanagement and increasing fees have caused the North Mason School District to re-evaluate what role it will have in the Theler Wetlands and community center.

Earlier this year, North Mason Superintendent Dana Rosenbach recommended the school district keep the community center and play field. Under a proposal, the district could turn the parcel into an early childhood education resource center. The wetlands could be transferred to another agency.

We applaud Rosenbach’s proposal and creative thinking. The North Mason School District’s No. 1 priority is teaching

our children. It should not be managing a wetlands preserve.

We’re glad Rosenbach and her administrative staff held several public forums to gather community input on the complicated, and at times, controversial topic.

The superintendent has stated that the public will remain in the loop as this process continues. At the request of the school board, the school district will continue to talk with interested partners about accepting responsibility for the 55-acre wetlands preserve.

If you’re interested in speaking to the school board about the Theler Center or wetlands, its next meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 20 in the district office, 71 E. Campus Drive in Belfair.

Mason County Parks is under a criti-

LETTERS cont. from page A-4 In 2013, Mason County went through a transparent comprehensive park planning process. The plan included a survey of Mason County residents and a citizen advisory panel. If Proposition 1 is adopted, the comprehensive park plan will serve as an excellent guide. I encourage folks to take a look at the plan; it is available at www. co.mason.wa.us/forms/parks/ park_plan.pdf or go to the Mason County website, then to parks and trails. For more information on Prop. 1, go to www.voteforparks.org What is needed now for parks is citizen participation, funding and focus. The parks district proposal has many well-qualified candidates, who can bring energy and expertise to manage parks. Mason County with ballparks and vast forest shorelines can provide great opportunities for its citizens to attract visitors.

More digging into PDC needed Editor, the Journal Thank you for highlighting the large amounts of cash flowing to the Democratic candidates in the 35th Legislative District races. I wish you would have dug a little deeper into the Public Disclosure Commission (PDC) data and provided more insight to your readers. (PDC data referenced below is as of Sept. 17.)

First, our self-identified “independent” Democratic candidates are anything but that, taking $88,500 from the House Democratic Caucus Campaign Committee, almost 40 percent of their total campaign contributions.

But where do those funds come from? Their source is the surplus funds from other legislative candidates, primarily in the Seattle area, led by the largest of $100,000 from House Speaker Chopp’s campaign donations. We do not need candidates supported and heavily funded by the very powerful of this state, using our district to support their agendas.

Second, your paper failed to dig into your report on candidate expenditures during the primary. In the primary, our “independent” Democrats received independent support of $26,392 from the socalled Mainstream Voters of WA. Your readers probably received those obnoxious negative mailers funded by this organization. Drilling down a couple of levels in the PDC data, who funds this group?

This group is funded through two other political funds, which are in turn funded by other organizations; however, almost 40 percent of cash comes from one group and its affiliates, SEIU. SEIU, Service Employees International Union, is the organization that has been very active in Olympia forcing their representation on home health care and childcare workers through legislation. Thus, they are using the Legislature to force worker

I fully support the people’s right to voluntarily contribute to candidates; but through public disclosure, we need to be aware when specific organizations put this much money into a local election.

We do not need representatives who only disingenuously put an “independent” in their party affiliation and are supported by large amounts of money for the sole purpose of keeping one party’s control and groupthink in Olympia.

The 35th District needs truly independent representatives, such as Dan Griffey and Drew MacEwen, who represent their constituents, not those of Speaker Chopp. We need leaders who understand that improving basic education is not completely dependent on more money. We need leaders who respect the constitutional rights of all individuals when drafting and voting on legislation. We need leaders who are problem solvers, even if the solution goes against the status quo. We need to re-elect Dan Griffey and Drew MacEwen.

Reader prefers a loudmouth to a liar Editor, the Journal Patricia Vandehey incorrectly interpreted the Citizens United Supreme Court decision. She questioned the idea “that corporations are people.”

The court didn’t say corporations are people; it said corporations and labor unions are legal persons possessing legal rights recognized by the courts.

Ms. Vandehey seems concerned with corporate influence, but apparently approves campaign dollars from hedgefund managers, Wall Street lobbyists and big-time bankers going to Hillary.

Vandehey hates Trump’s name-calling, then calls him “a clownish buffoon.” Hillary called me a deplorable.

Strange, they hate name calling yet they use it frequently.

Hillary keeps changing her story about missing emails.

Last week, one staff member provided new missing email information while two others took the Fifth Amendment to prevent self-incrimination.

What are they hiding?

Vandehey believes Trump’s lack of governmental experience is a detriment. Years ago, Flint, Michigan built the cars and people were warned not to drink the water in Mexico. Now Mexico builds the cars and people are warned not to drink the water in Flint. Political ineptitude at federal and local levels. It’s

time a businessman runs this country; professional politicians don’t have a clue.

Dr. Alveda C. King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, said she didn’t like some words Trump uses, nevertheless suggested voters read his policy statements and forget his rhetoric. She likes Trump’s proposals providing better education for black children in the Democrat-run big cities.

Democrats were doublecrossed by their super-delegates. Bernie Sanders won Washington’s caucus vote, but super-delegates Jay Inslee and Patty Murray ignored their wishes and voted Hillary, a Washington, D.C., insider, into the nomination.

Democrats should remember this super-delegate treachery and vote accordingly in November.

Loudmouth Donald Trump or serial liar Hillary Clinton for president? I prefer a loudmouth to a liar.

Keep your eyes on the road, people Editor, the Journal Several years ago, while driving in Shelton, we had just come to a normal stop at a stop light when we were severely rear-ended. Television is rampant with ads showing collisions due to texting while at the wheel, etc. In the course of reviewing collisions I came up with the following.

My time at The Parachute School at Fort Benning, Georgia, and a following class in demolitions exposed me to the 1,000 one, 2,000 two, 3,000 three, etc., method of mentally calculating time lapse in seconds. Somewhere I picked up the suggestion to maintain a minimum two-second time lapse between your auto and the one directly ahead. This is done by noting some mark or object parallel with the auto ahead of you and then mentally determining how may seconds before your auto passes the same mark. This distance will vary, of course, according to your mph. At 60 mph you will travel 88 feet in one second and at 30 mph that figure will be only 44 feet. so using the two-second plan, you will maintain a 176-foot buffer at 60 mph and 88 feet at 30 mph.

Now place yourself in 60 mph traffic and anticipating a lane change. Turn your head to look in your rear view mirror to see if it is clear to enter while counting “1,000 one” etc. and you will determine you have taken your eyes off the road for one second, 88 feet.

Now in that second the driver ahead of you has had to apply his brakes. I think you will find, using the same timing

method, that it will take you one second to react and lift your foot off the gas pedal and apply pressure to your brakes, another 88 feet. As we age, we may want to maintain a threesecond interval. Hmmm?

McIntosh’s broader view important Editor, the Journal Clean water and a healthy environment are key to my business. The oysters and clams you eat have to grow in water that is free from harmful pollutants. Making sure our waters around South Puget Sound and Hood Canal stay clean takes steady and experienced leadership. Clean water for healthy shellfish harvest means continually educating shoreline property owners and businesses about keeping pollutants from entering our precious waters. Kelley McIntosh understands the connection between our actions and clean water. Public safety and a healthy environment are key to Kelley’s vision.

Kelley has years of leadership experience and an ability to work with diverse groups of citizens. She knows how important it is to listen to all sides of an issue and make good decisions. Kelley doesn’t burn her bridges, she builds them.

The McIntosh family has had years of experience in the shellfish industry. Two of Kelley’s brothers, Kelley and her mother, all worked for Hama Hama Oyster Co. They understand and respect the hard work of the industry. And they understand by working it the importance of clean water.

I have seen Kelley approach new learning opportunities with poise. I have watched how this poised woman educates herself. She talks to many people concerning the issue, reads everything available, and continues to look at all sides to make sure she has a well-rounded perspective.

On even the most complicated subjects, Kelley clearly understands and continues to look outside the box for a broader view. Someone with her education and a 25-year professional career is the person we need in leadership for Mason County.

Kelley has a broader view and will work with everyone’s perspective in our rural communities. Kelley listens to everyone. As Mason County communities grow we must have a strong and honest leader. Kelley is transparent and honest and knows that building our towns on anything other than the principles of honesty and transparency and integrity is an injustice to our citizens.

I believe in Kelley McIntosh and know she will make

an outstanding Mason County commissioner. On Nov. 8, I will be voting for Kelley McIntosh.

More kudos to our local firefighters Editor, the Journal I wish to thank the Journal for highlighting the work Mason County firefighters have performed this summer fighting large wildfires in Eastern Washington. There is one significant point that needs to be added regarding the article that ran last week, which is that it was not just firefighters from Central Mason Fire & EMS that participated in state mobilization deployments to Eastern Washington. It was also firefighters from a number of Mason County fire districts.

Career and volunteer firefighters from North Mason Regional Fire Authority (Belfair), Fire District 1 (Hoodsport), Fire District 3 (Grapeview), Fire District 4 (Kamilche), Fire District 6 (Union), Fire District 11 (Island Lake) and Fire District 16 (Dayton), all deployed to fires in Eastern Washington this summer.

These firefighters worked 16-hour days under stressful and demanding conditions, and they are bringing back a wealth of experience that can be used to protect Mason County residents when wildfires happen here.

McIntosh a tenacious leader Editor, the Journal I felt privileged two years ago to be a part of a group, selected by the county commissioners, for a study on safety and law enforcement.

Over the months, much was learned from listening to the needs of the various offices affected and then comparisons with other counties similar to Mason County. Kelley McIntosh was the chairperson, who through her tenacity and leadership kept us all focused, on task and informed. She has shown me to be an excellent choice for our next Mason County commissioner. Please join me in meeting Kelley, hear her goals and your concerns, in a Night with Kelley, on Sept. 24 at 6 p.m. at the Agate Grange. For further information, call 426-1296.

LETTERS cont. from page A-5

Trust and experience matters?

Editor, the Journal I have been following the county commissioner race where incumbent Randy Neatherlin is running on a platform of “restore the trust” and “experience matters” slogans that have become absolutely nothing more than politically expedient catchphrases. In his most recent words, interviews and actions, he has lost my trust, and he has shown a complete lack of experience we should expect with his first term coming to an end. I will explain below where he takes credit for the work of others without being honest about the people or events as they took place, which can be documented. He has shown numerous times in his political statements and advertising a lack of trust/honesty with the people of this county.

I read in last week’s Journal that he has been responsible for many things in the Sheriff’s Office. If so, why is there no support from any previous sheriffs, the current sheriff and his management or the deputies’ guild? Here is one really big reason — lack of trust. I have seen where he has taken credit for establishing the north patrol precinct in Belfair. I happen to have some personal and direct knowledge that he was not responsible for that building being established. The sheriff, working

with a great business family in North Mason and following in the footsteps of another very generous business family began searching for a new location in July of 2011 (well before Mr. Neatherlin was elected to office).

After two months’ work, a lease was signed with the Sheriff’s Office in September of 2011. The sheriff and his staff had the vision to better serve the citizens with this precinct, a history that is well-documented, as well as provide a professional work space for the dozens of critical volunteers that staff the north building. The equipment, radios and work stations were either donated or absorbed within the Sheriff’s Office. He also paid for the lease because it was the right thing to do for the citizens of the north county.

The volunteers provided the idea of dedicating the office to three-term Sheriff Whybark, who worked so hard in establishing the volunteer program.

The building was dedicated by Lt. Gov. Owen, a citizen of this county, out of respect for Sheriff Whybark and Sheriff Salisbury.

These facts are documented and supported. The sheriff and the citizens in this community are responsible for the evolution of the north precinct, not Mr. Neatherlin, who I might remind you was not even in office at the time. If his claim of establishing the north precinct was true, then tell us about the other five previous locations that existed since the early 1990s (the old fire hall, the old liquor store, the house where the medical facility now exists, the portable building and the Safeway office). His support

actually came in the version of relieving the Sheriff’s Office of the burden of leasing a building, nothing more. Just tell the people that simple fact.

“Experience matters” for an elected official when it’s used properly for the people and not misleading those same citizens for personal gain. “Restore the trust” means just that — not more deception or omission of the events to take the credit away from others who properly deserve it. The above is but one example, of several claims he’s made that half represent the truth.

It is clear that candidate McIntosh represents what he does not.

Pat Utley Shelton

Vote for person, platform, not party Editor, the Journal In response to Patricia Vandehey (Sept. 15), I would like to respond with a quote from Lincoln that might explain why the liberal agenda won’t work: “You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence. You cannot help

people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”

I am neither Democrat nor Republican, but go by quality of person and platform.

However, I cannot in any conscience vote for a woman who her whole adult life has lied, who, by any criteria, should be in prison for her mishandling of classified material (as others are who have done less), and the following cover-up and lying under oath. I was likewise aghast many months ago at the choice of Donald Trump.

Yes, at beginning, appeared a buffoon, but the one thing he wasn’t was a politician, or bowed down by the corrosive nature of “political correctness.” I liked that, and decided to watch this man who looked like a trainwreck waiting to happen. I cannot change the minds of many Dems — they will vote for Clinton even if she is in prison orange. But many anti-Trump are stuck in a time warp, referring to Trump characteristics of months ago, and not watching the evolution of a passionate man who loves his country. I am sure they have not listened to all his rallies, speeches, interviews, or three days of RNC and hear 40-plus testimonies of employees, friends, peers and family speak with admiration for this man.

Like so many, they are absorbing only the sound bites of liberal, biased media. A flawed man? Absolutely; aren’t we all?

Trump was called a racist because he didn’t immediately disavow David Duke. Hillary Clinton, when receiving the Margaret Sanger award, said how much she admired this

woman and the work she did.

(Margaret Sanger was a white supremacist of the 20s who had an agenda to exterminate blacks and indigents through eugenics, one of the reasons she founded the early Planned Parenthood.)

Read the books by ex-Secret Service and other employees as to her vile racist comments in private (I know this to be true).

Trump mentored a young black woman to a high position in his company, and employs 10,000plus of all races. A Muslim gave a prayer at the RNC. The judge of Mexican heritage was a pro bono activist for illegals and open borders — of course he would be a biased judge, knowing Trump’s stand on illegal immigration.

Trump was called misogynistic because he sometimes is rude, equally to men as well as women — personality, not substance. He employs many women in high positions at, unlike Clinton, equal pay. He has a very pro-woman platform. He is no xenophobe; he welcomes legal immigration and believes the Syrian refugees should be cared for, but in place, with the help of the surrounding rich nations. He loves people, but puts Americans first. Is that so wrong?

Trump has been out there talking with top military and business leaders, encouraging black communities, putting forth platform after platform, while Clinton has been hobnobbing with the very rich, fundraising, and calling good Americans deplorable. I am proud to be so named.

2 Mason County men charged after sex sting 21 people arrested after ‘Operation Net Nanny’

By MICHAEL HEINBACH michael@masoncounty.com Two men listed in court documents as Mason County residents were among the 21 people arrested in an online sexual predator sting conducted from Sept. 7 to Sept. 18 in Thurston County in conjunction with “Operation Net Nanny.”

On Sept. 7, 59-year-old Leslie Joe Vopat of Shelton was arrested and charged with second-degree attempted rape of a child and commercial sexual abuse of a minor after agreeing to meet with someone who Vopat

believed to be a 13-year-old male for the purpose of sex, according to law enforcement documents. Vopat was released on bail, which was set at $40,000. He was scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday at Thurston County Superior Court.

Douglas D. Presley, 48, listed as a Mason County resident, was charged Sept. 12 with two counts of attempted first-degree rape of a child and one count of attempted second-degree rape of a child when he agreed to a meeting to have sex with three minors. Presley was convicted of theft in 2004 and his bail for current charges against him was set at $100,000, according to court documents.

The sting was conducted in a collaborative effort by 16 law enforcement entities, including the Washington

State Patrol’s Missing and Exploited Children’s Task Force (MECTF); the FBI; the Olympia, Tumwater, Lacey and Shelton police departments and the Washington State Department of Corrections. Several of the arrests were made at the Breckenridge Heights apartment complex in Tumwater. As a result of the operation, detectives were able to rescue four children at risk for abuse.

According to Lt. Michael Eggleston, commander of the METCF, the sting was Operation Net Nanny’s sixth since August 2015, and easily its most effective.

“This is, bar none, the most successful operation of the six of its kind with the 21 arrests,” Eggleston said.

“The next-highest number of people arrested was 13, and that was in Spokane

recently.”

Eggleston said his agency either responded to or posted an ad similar to ones found online in the personals sections of websites such as Craigslist, then used online, text or phone messaging to lure potential predators into setting up a meeting for the purpose of sex with minors. Detectives acted as the mother of two underage girls and a boy whom she offered to potential suspects for the purpose of sexual encounters.

“Through that process we learn what the suspect wants to do,” Eggleston said. “What that person discusses leads to enough probable cause that once they show up in person for their meeting, that person is subsequently arrested by undercover officers.”

Suspect in Shelton car thefts identified as Tacoma man

By MICHAEL HEINBACH michael@masoncounty.com Shelton police are hot on the trail of a car thief who struck twice last week in downtown Shelton, connecting with unsuspecting victims by using the OfferUp phone app. Wednesday morning, the suspect was identified by Shelton Police as 30-year-old Dai P. Nguyen of Tacoma.

“Now that we know his identity, his arrest is imminent,” Sgt. Mike Fiola of the Shelton Police Department told the Journal.

Both victims were hoping to sell their vehicles using OfferUp and told law enforcement they met Nguyen in the parking lot of the Safeway supermarket, located at 600 W. Franklin St. Each gave car keys to the suspect for a test drive, but Nguyen never returned.

A black 1998 Honda Civic with Washington plates that read ATN 6949 was taken Sept. 13. The next day, an orange 2004 Mazda sedan with Washington plates AZK 6773 was stolen from the same location.

The suspect was described by both victims as a 5-foot-5, 200-pound Asian male, with long black hair pulled into a ponytail and the sides shaved. Nguyen was caught on surveillance video by cameras at the Mason County TransitCommunity Center and later identified by both victims, as well as an MTA bus driver, who picked up Nguyen on Sept.

13 in Olympia on his way to Shelton.

“He (Nguyen) was identified by both victims from the footage from the Transit-Community Center,” Fiola said. “Additionally, OfferUp contacted Shelton police with the identity of the profile used by the suspect to meet up with the victims, which matched our information.”

Several news outlets from Seattle picked up on the story and still photographs taken from Transit-Community Center security camera videos were distributed and posted.

That led to an abundance of calls to Shelton police with tips on Nguyen’s identity.

“We have 27 cameras inside and outside the center,” said Transit-Community Center manager Kathy Geist.

“Since we’ve been here, we’ve used security footage to help police with somewhere between a dozen to 20 different incidents.”

Fiola said law enforcement has information that Nguyen frequents Pierce, Thurston and Mason counties, and that anyone with knowledge of Nguyen’s whereabouts should immediately call Det. Ses Maiava at 426-4441.

In news releases related to the incidents, Shelton police reminded residents it has set up a safe exchange zone, located in the parking lot adjacent to the Police Department, where those looking to buy and sell items through online outlets can exchange goods in a secure area.

Building permits on rise in City of Shelton The City of Shelton has issued six new permits for commercial buildings so far this year, compared to a total of two all of last year.

Five of the six buildings are on Sierra Pacific Industries’ new mill site on the Shelton waterfront, and the sixth is the gas station under construction at Fred Meyer, Jason Dose, the city’s interim director of community and economic development, told the Shelton City Commission on Monday.

The city has also issued nine permits for residential units, compared to two for all of 2015, Dose said.

Prospective home and business

The gas station under construction at Fred Meyer is one of six commercial building permits issued by the City of Shelton this year; the city issued a total of two commercial permits in 2015. owners are calling the city office and popping in to ask about the permitting process, Dose said.

“We’re seeing a lot more inquiries,” he said.

Mayor Gary Cronce said he believes the growth is spurred by the city’s decision in March to reduce permit fees and charges for home and business developers.

“We need this kind of activity to pull back on the debt,” Cronce said.

Cronce and Commissioner Kathy McDowell voted for the fee reductions, saying the incentives will entice developers and promote growth. Commissioner Tracy Moore voted against the measure and said current taxpayers could end up paying for the expanded infrastructure costs because of lost

fees.

At Monday’s meeting, McDowell said she’s spotting residents re-siding their houses or creating home additions as she drives around town.

“There’s a lot more activity now than we’ve seen in a long time,” she said. n Compiled by reporter Gordon Weeks

Dean Jewett hugs his wife, Jackie, at the building they own in downtown Shelton. The couple hopes to turn the decrepit structure into a new hotel and conference center.

Couple aims to rebuild downtown hotel When Dean Jewett was a child, he remembers the sense of support from the community.

Now he wants to bring that back.

“After every Little League game, we’d go to the A&W and (the owner) would give every kid a free ice cream,” Dean recalls. “We loved that.

So that’s what we want to do.”

Dean and his wife, Jackie, plan to open a hotel and gathering place in downtown Shelton at 111 Railroad Ave., behind the Pine Tree Restaurant.

The couple hopes to add a handful of hotel rooms, a pizza restaurant and bar, and conference rooms.

“We’re both into customer service, friendly customer service, and it seems like lots of places have forgotten,” Jackie said. “So we started talking: How can we bring that back?”

The building sat vacant for years, but during the past spring, the Jewetts, who have been married for four years, noticed the “for sale” sign

out front.

They contacted the seller and learned that someone else had also put an offer on the building just before them.

The couple met with the seller to try to convince him.

“I took my secret weapon,” Dean said with a laugh, gesturing to his wife. “She’s the smart one and I’m the cute one.”

In the end, Jackie said their enthusiasm for their vision must have been what persuaded the seller to pick them.

After that, she said the project “took a life of its own” as the two began the journey.

Dean said the 6,000-square-foot building was built in 1924, and eventually housed a 40-room hotel. He said he thinks it was the first hotel with running hot and cold water in each room.

The hotel changed hands throughout the years, and has been rumored to have even been a brothel at one point, Dean said.

The couple wants to preserve the building’s long history.

They plan to keep the

Jackie said. “We really want a tech-laden conference room where people can host meetings or events.”

Jackie added that since there aren’t many private gathering places in town, even youth sports teams could utilize the rooms for end-ofseason parties.

“I’m a teacher, so I love kids; things like that are always on my radar,” she said.

The rest of the space will be filled with a bar and pizza parlor, which the couple said they hope to eventually fill with music, dancing and entertainment for locals.

The restaurant will also allow the Jewetts a way to pay it forward, Dean said. He wants to eventually give back to the homeless community with free or reduced meals.

The couple added that while they’re excited for the project, they’re welcoming both community

and city input.

“The city has a vision for this downtown area, and we really want to be involved in that,” he said. “We want to support the downtown structure, because right now, it’s dying, and it will die if we don’t support this old town and give people a reason to come here.”

While they have no specific timeline for opening, the couple has already repaved the parking lot, which they plan to keep fenced off until the facility opens.

Dean said the biggest challenge will be getting water system access to the upstairs portion of the building.

“After we get that, we’ll be wide open,” he said.

The two plan to open the restaurant and conference rooms first; they said it will be easier to work the hotel in once they’ve established the downstairs area.

The couple is reach-

ing out to area residents, both for comments or input on the project, as well as vintage antiques to exhibit at the building.

Dean said if people have old logging equipment or other items of historical significance, the couple would love to display it.

They plan to add plaques under each item to tell its story and who donated it.

They’re also in search of photographs of the building throughout the years.

“We love the historic part,” Jackie said.

“There’s a big presence here that has not been alive in Shelton in a long time. It’s very exciting.”

To give feedback or to donate a historic item, contact Dean at vintage handyman64@gmail. com.

rustic, small-town feel, opening just eight rooms in the second story. Two of those will be extended stay rooms with kitchenettes.

Jackie, a teacher attending school to get her administration certificate, plans to decorate the interior with historic artifacts, such as vintage antiques she’s found throughout the area.

Dean owns his own construction company, Vintage Handyman and Salvage, so he said he plans to do most of the construction himself.

The couple bought a fixer-upper home in the county several years ago, which Dean completely remodeled himself.

In addition to the upstairs hotel area, the couple plans to add several high-tech conference rooms, complete with the “latest and greatest” fiber optics.

Former jail superintendent dies after apparent heart attack

By MICHAEL HEINBACH michael@masoncounty.com Tom Haugen, who served with the Mason County Sheriff’s Office for 33 years prior to his retirement earlier this year as jail superintendent, died last weekend due to complications after suffering a heart

attack.

Haugen, 60, began his tenure with the sheriff’s office in 1983 and was promoted to jail superintendent 10 years later by then- Mason County Sheriff Steve Whybark.

Current Mason County Sheriff Casey Salisbury broke the news of Haugen’s death Tuesday morn-

ing with a brief statement during the Board of Mason County Commissioners meeting at Commission Chambers in Shelton.

“He was my chief for nine years and my great friend for over 30,” Salisbury told the commission while fighting back tears “Please remember Tom.” Later in the day, Salis-

bury spoke to the Journal to expand on his thoughts of Haugen’s death.

“It’s especially hard for me, knowing that Tom had put in all that time and was so looking forward to retirement, and he had, maybe at best, four months of retirement after all those years of work,” Salisbury said. “That’s

what makes it so hard.

You look at somebody who works so hard their whole career, to be able to finally settle down and then to pass away like that, without being able to enjoy the rest of it.”

No funeral arrangement information for Haugen was available as of press time.

NEWS BRIEFS

A suspicious man approached a 10-year-old female near Mountain View Elementary School in Shelton on Monday afternoon and asked her to get in his car around 3:30 p.m., according to a news release issued Tuesday by the Shelton Police Department.

The student didn’t know the white adult with black hair, who was on foot at the time, but said the same man verbally greeted her while driving a black Honda-style vehicle the previous week. No other information was available at press time, but police are working with the school, located on East K Street, to obtain further information and provide safety plans for parents of young children.

Shelton police asked parents and caretakers to encourage children to walk to and from school in a group, as well as educating them about the dangers of getting in cars with strangers.

Burn ban lifted in Mason County Mason County Community

Development Director Dave Windom, acting as fire marshal, and in partnership with the Mason County Fire Chiefs’ Association, lifted burning restrictions in the county as of 8 a.m. Tuesday morning.

The decision came in conjunction with the state Department of Natural Resources, which lifted the burn ban in Washington west of the Cascade Mountains. That decision was based on the near-term forecast and recent cooler weather in the area.

Belfair man injured in state Route 3 crash A 36-year-old Belfair man was one of three people injured in a three-car accident around 5 p.m. on Sept. 14 at the intersection of state Route 3 and Lake Flora Road, 2 miles south of Bremerton.

The man swerved his 1993 Ford Taurus to the left to avoid hitting a Jeep Wrangler that had slowed for traffic in a southbound lane of Lake Flora Road. The Taurus struck the Wrangler, crossed the centerline and crashed into a northbound 2010 Honda Element. The man, the driver of the Honda, and her passenger were transported to Harrison Hospital in Bremerton. The driver of the Jeep was uninjured and none of the injuries

were considered life-threatening.

The cause of the collision is currently under investigation.

According to an initial report

by WSP, drugs and/or alcohol were not believed to be a factor in the incident.

Green Diamond opens Washington lands for hunting STAFF REPORT news@masoncounty.com Green Diamond Resource Co. representatives earlier this week announced that many company gates are opening this week for hunting and other recreation. Gates will be opened throughout the week.

“We seek to allow a variety of recreational experiences, including free access to many areas of our Washington working forest lands,” said Patti Case, public affairs/regulatory manager for the company, in a news release.

Green Diamond gates are typically orange with signs mounted next to them, indicating the type of access allowed in that area, said Case. Recreation Access Permit areas are posted with signage explaining entry is limited to those with permits. In all other areas, Case said, a sign with a red dot means no motor vehicles are allowed and a green dot indicates licensed, street-legal motor vehicles are allowed on roads only and only during daylight hours.

BRIEFS cont. from page A-16 or 275-4467, ext. 419.

Completed applications should be submitted to the commissioners office at 411 N. Fifth St. in Shelton.

For questions or for more information, call Michael MacSems at 427-9670 ext.

571.

According to Case, an orange sign indicates harvest or other activity is taking place. All recreation access to these areas is prohibited. “An open gate may be a sign that forest management activity is taking place,” she said.

“Visitors should be cautious.”

“We ask that recreation seekers wear high-visibility clothing for safety and that visitors exit Green Diamond’s forest land within one hour of sunset as indicated in the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s hunting regulations,” she said.

Some areas will remain closed for the time being.

“We are in the process of securing the Vance Creek Bridge area to prevent trespassers in this very dangerous area,” Case said. “As many people know,” she further explained, “our long-term plan is to work with a public partner to create a destination facility at Vance Creek Bridge, but that is some distance off. In the meantime, we must do everything possible to prevent people from trespassing.”

Case said it is hoped the area will be

The Cook Reload area of the tree farm will be closed until Sunday to safely allow the Doo Wop Rally car race to take place. More information about the rally is available at www.doo woprally.com/spectators.

Visitors to Green Diamond land are encouraged to report illegal activity.

“Anyone who witnesses illegal activity should call 911 immediately,” Case said.

Those who learn about unlawful activities can also call the Green Diamond Rewards Program at 427-4090, a secure message phone.

Callers are asked to leave a method of reply so that leads may be followed up. A cash reward of up to $500 is offered for information leading to arrest and prosecution of criminal activity on Green Diamond land.

Targeted activities include littering and garbage dumping, trespass, theft of timber and other forest products, and unlawful use of off-road vehicles.

ment of Agriculture agreed to cooperatively test for illegal pesticides used in marijuana grow operations, according to a news release issued last week.

The agreement will allow two WSDA employees to dedicate time in pesticide enforcement, random testing and

The decision to provide Green Diamond with information on potential criminal activity occurring on Green Diamond property is voluntary and does not create a contract between Green Diamond and the person providing information.

Green Diamond reserves full discretion to determine whether to reward a person who provides information on potential criminal activity and the amount of any such reward.

Green Diamond cannot guarantee the anonymity of a person who discloses their identity when providing information on potential criminal activity because such information, including witness identity, may be referred to appropriate law enforcement officials for investigation and prosecution.

The WSLCB will absorb the cost of testing supplies.

“Testing for pesticides is a complex and costly process,” WSLCB director Rick Garza said in the release. “Labs need specialized equipment and highly trained staff to

carry out the tests. This agreement will satisfy those obstacles.”

WSDA will analyze an average of 75 samples per month and results should be available within 30 days of testing. n Compiled by reporter Michael Heinbach

Kathleen Lynch knows acupuncture firsthand.

As a child, Lynch launched herself off the high dive at a pool, hitting the water hard to an audible gasp from the crowd.

“Everyone else was doing cannonballs, but I saw this woman do a beautiful Olympic-style dive, and I said, ‘I’m going to do that,’ ” Lynch recalls with a laugh.

She landed on her back, breaking a small bone in her neck. The bone healed, but the pain never went away.

For the next several decades, Lynch tried everything to alleviate the pain at the base of her head. Finally, in her mid-30s, she decided to see an acupuncturist, a person who uses needles to prick the skin to alleviate pain.

“I remember sitting up (at the end of the appointment) and I could move my neck,” Lynch said, rolling her neck side to side to demonstrate. “It was wonderful.”

Now, nearly 30 years after discovering how acupuncture could help her, Lynch has opened her own acupuncture practice in Shelton.

Straight to the Point Acupuncture opened Sept. 1 at 2146 Railroad Ave., Suite C, in Shelton.

Lynch is not new to the acupuncture industry; she started school more than a decade ago to receive her acupuncture certification.

Lynch, who previously worked as a respiratory therapist and massage therapist, decided to go back to school after a new acupuncture academy opened in New York, where she was living.

“I jumped at it,” she said. “I enrolled and got in.”

Lynch said the hardest part about opening her own business has been learning how to bill insurance; she sets aside one workday each week to complete all the paperwork.

However, she added, Washington has lenient insurance regulations regarding acupuncture, which means more people in the state can go through insurance to get the treatment.

The more liberal insurance regulations are what drew Lynch to Washington four years ago.

She began growing frustrated with stringent laws in New York that prevented patients who needed acupuncture from receiving the treatment.

Then a fellow acupuncturist recommended moving to Washington.

She got a job at an acupuncture clinic in Centralia, where she worked for a few years before moving to Acupuncture Solutions in Shelton.

“This community is just so openminded,” Lynch said, explaining why she likes Shelton. “So many people either believe in this, or they just want to try it out to see.”

When new patients come to see Lynch, she completes a 30-minute intake session, during which she asks the patient about their health and life.

Question topics include digestion, sleep patterns, depression and even bathroom habits.

Lynch is looking for anything that could be a warning sign for a larger problem.

“I’ve had people who say that they have headaches, and that they’ve always had them,” Lynch said. “I just think, ‘Why wouldn’t you address that?

Because you could do better.’ ” Lynch said she’s used acupuncture to treat everything from arthritis and headaches to depression and anxiety in patients.

Often, patients come in with one problem in mind, but Lynch helps them fix other aspects of their health.

“I think of myself as a primary care physician,” Lynch said. “I’m treating all these problems; I’m just treating them in a different way.”

Lynch said she uses single-use needles, which she inserts into “meridians,” or certain places in the body.

While patients often don’t feel the needle, the patient’s brain recognizes a foreign object in the body.

The brain then releases “feel-good drugs,” such as serotonin, to the spot where the needle is inserted to help heal the problem, Lynch said.

She added that she uses a heat lamp to warm the needles, which gets heat inside the body to help the healing process.

Many times, people are able to get up off the table after their first appointment and feel the difference, Lynch said.

“I just love how quickly people respond to it,” she said.

For more information or to book an appointment, call Lynch at 972-8756.

At the emergency room at Mason General Hospital, Green was told the problem was his kidneys. He was taken to Providence St. Peter Hospital in Olympia. The diagnosis: His failing kidney was functioning at 5 percent.

Green already had a history of health issues, including problems with his gall bladder, arthritis, and knee and hip replacements.

For dialysis, Green had a treatment called fistula, where a vein and an artery are grafted so a needle can easily be inserted.

“The only pain is when they stick you, and that lasts only two seconds,” Green said.

“I think I have a higher tolerance for pain.”

For four years and nine months, Green underwent dialysis three times a week at Mason General Hospital. Sometimes he’d catch some sleep during the four-hour sessions.

Five of his fellow patients died from complications, most from diabetes. Two others received new kidneys.

“He would be tired,” Sheldon said of the sessions.

“He’d be wiped out for the rest of the day, not all the time, but usually.”

Green was also forced to conform to a new diet.

He couldn’t eat cheese or potatoes or drink milk.

Green’s nearly five-year wait for a transplant ended when someone at Virginia Mason Hospital called and said, “Go out and buy a lottery ticket because you are on the active list. … We could call you at any time.”

Green said he thought it could be weeks or months. Instead, a few days later came the call: “We have a kidney for you.”

The donor was a 45-year-old woman, in good health, who had died unexpectedly. The operation was set for July 27.

“I was good with it,” Green said. “I thought, ‘Let’s get it on. Let’s get over with it.’ ” He added, “I was pretty used to surgery. So when

it came time for kidney treatment surgery, I wasn’t worried about it.”

Green said he was fortunate to have a “top-notch” surgeon in Dr. Christian Kuhr.

They left in his healthy kidney and his failed one while adding the new one.

“I don’t remember anything until the next morning,” Green said.

The new kidney adapted to his body immediately.

“The first time I saw him, his colorization had already improved,” Sheldon said.

Green remained in the hospital for seven and a half days. Then he stayed in West Olympia so he could be closer to the hospital. He went to Virginia Mason three times a week for a couple weeks.

Now, “it’s so much better,” Green said. “I no longer have to go to dialysis. … I can eat anything except grapefruit or grapefruit juice.”

Green returned to his Lake Limerick home two weeks ago. He said he wants to write a letter to the donor’s family.

“I hope I get to meet them and get to know about her,” Green said. He urges everyone to be designated as a possible organ donor on his or her driver’s license.

As for plans, “I want to pay it forward for this great gift I have,” Green said.

He said he is considering founding a scholarship program for high school students, maybe establish-

every two years, and people often need to have more than one available in different locations, such as in their car and at work. “And the fact that some people are having to choose to go without, that’s truly not a nice thing to have to do when it’s something you need to have.”

The fire authority — along with most other emergency responders in Mason County — has a solution. Mason County first responders make their own EpiPens.

“The syringe costs about 80 cents, and the epinephrine is just a couple dollars,” Bakken said. “Most emergency responders in the state of Washington can bypass the EpiPen.” Across the world, those who need the EpiPen, a shot that administers the drug epinephrine to save those experiencing life-threatening allergic reactions, have expressed outrage after they noticed the price hike.

Some people can no longer afford to purchase the two-EpiPen pack that could save their lives.

Bakken said Mason County residents who may not have the money to buy their own EpiPen could call 911 as soon as they begin to have a severe allergic reaction, known as anaphylactic shock, to receive a dosage of the lifesaving drug.

“I’m not advocating that people not fill their prescription,” Bakken said.

“But people are having to make hard financial decisions all throughout our county.”

Those who might be suffering from anaphylactic shock should call first responders immediately, as the drug needs to be administered as soon as possible.

Most emergency response units carry the syringe of epinephrine, Bakken said. Even better, there is no cost to the patient for the first responders to administer the shot.

Should the patient require a trip to the hospital, costs could be incurred, but traditionally, that has not been necessary, Bakken said.

HOW IT CAME ABOUT Mason County first responders have been making their own epinephrine shots for about five years. The change came after Jefferson County EMTs began creating their own shots, saving tons of money by not purchasing the more expensive EpiPen. After seeing success in Jefferson County, many other Washington counties began to push the state to imple-

ment a plan that would allow their emergency responders to create their own epinephrine shots.

Now many Washington counties have similar plans in place.

Joseph Hoffman, medical director for Mason County EMS and Mason General Hospital emergency room physician, said he signed off on Mason County first responders loading their own shots.

“After counties were allowed to use alternatives, it saved the state about $1.8 million a year,” Hoffman said.

“And that was about five years ago, so I’m sure that number has close to doubled by now.”

The kits are kept in sealable plastic bags; first responders are trained to load the shots themselves.

Hoffman said each kit cost about $5 to create when the program started, compared with about $118 for each EpiPen. He estimates the cost has increased slightly for the self-loaded shots, but not nearly as much as the cost of the EpiPen, which is about $300 a shot.

Hoffman said it is beneficial that first responders carry the shot for those who can’t afford it, but he wishes people didn’t have to make that decision.

“Having to weigh, how severe is my allergy? How brittle am I?” he said.

“You don’t want people to make the wrong choice and not get the item, but sometimes there really is no other way.”

Bakken estimates the fire authority receives between 50 and 100 calls each year regarding an allergic reaction; only about 10 of those require an epinephrine shot.

Symptoms of anaphylaxis include skin rash, nausea, vomiting, difficulty breathing and shock. Bakken said that it is an “all over the body” reaction, as opposed to a reaction at the site of something, such as a bug bite.

The most common time for allergic reaction calls is during the summer due to the number of insects and people outside, Bakken said.

If the call does not require a shot, first responders still sit with the patient for about 45 minutes to ensure there are no lasting effects.

Hoffman said that even though the fire authority has provided a temporary solution for people needing the expensive EpiPen, more needs to be done to help those who cannot afford the lifesaving shot.

“It’s kind of a signature of pharmacy costs in the U.S. compared to other countries,” he said. “And it’s kind of sad, really.”

Residents are questioning whether the state Department of Ecology can count on the City of Shelton to clean up its former landfill, and whether other agencies — including Simpson Timber Co. — should take some responsibility for the cleanup.

Journal photo by Gordon Weeks

Dump: Concerns range from pollution to future of site agreement that requires the City of Shelton to look for the types and extent of contamination on the site through a remedial investigation; explore cleanup options for the site through a feasibility study; and propose cleanup actions for the site through a draft cleanup action plan.

The state Department of Ecology will finalize each of these documents and present them as public review drafts.

Private business owners mined the 16-acre site for sand and gravel before the city bought the land in 1928 to use as a municipal landfill.

The former Rayonier pulp mill and research laboratory dumped byproducts and demolition debris at the landfill. The city dumped sludge from its wastewater treatment sites. Between 1976 and 1981, wastewater treatment sludge containing ash from Simpson Lumber Co.’s Shelton mill was dumped at the site.

Several commenters expressed concern about the city’s willingness to follow through with the obligations presented in the agreed order.

Ecology responded that the city is legally bound to carry out the obligations

in the agreed order. If it fails to do so, Ecology can complete the work on its own and recover costs from the city, or the state Attorney General can fine the city up to $25,000 per day if it refuses to comply with the order.

Several commenters suggested other entities might be liable for the contamination at the landfill.

“It seems so obvious that Simpson has a level of responsibility as to high levels of dioxin,” wrote Shelton resident Annette Matrisciano.

The state responded that Ecology has the “right and responsibility” to name any person or entity a potential liable person if they meet the Model Toxics Control Act standard of liability. Ecology asked the city to identify any potential parties that may have contributed to the pollution, and the city identified Simpson Timber Co., the Port of Shelton and Rayonier Pulp and Paper.

Ecology stated that the ash dumped at the landfill was very high in dioxins because it came from wood soaked in salty seawater, which added chlorine to the wood.

“Another reason that the ash from the Simpson mill is cause for concern is that these fires were burning consistently, generating enormous quantities

of ash, even compared to what might be seen in logged areas,” the department states.

Shelton resident Erica Marbet expressed concern about the groundwater.

“Although we heard much discussion about dioxin at C Street, we are as concerned about water soluble pollutants that move offsite through groundwater,” she wrote. “Miles Sand and Gravel pit cuts a right angle on the west and south borders of the landfill and may be intercepting groundwater and rerouting it to the surface water.

Goldsborough Creek is less than onehalf mile from the landfill.”

Waste Action Project, a nonprofit environmental advocacy organization that is suing the city for its failure to close the dump, urged Ecology to take into consideration chemicals beyond dioxins and investigate other toxic chemicals known to be dumped at the landfill, including furans, solvents, PCBs, acetone, petroleum products, tributyltin, pesticides, semi-volatile organic compounds, wood waste and metals.

“The City of Shelton has avoided liability and accountability for assessing and cleaning up this site for far too long,” wrote the group. “Waste Action Project asks Ecology to be prepared to enforce its deadlines and take over

the project deadlines and take over the project if necessary …”

Some commenters wondered how long it will take for some action.

“Why is this agreed order any more believable than the April 25, 2001, agreed order regarding Goose Lake?” asked Shelton resident Katherine Price. “Work at Goose Lake has not begun, nearly 15 years after the order.

So timelines on agreed orders have no meaning. In fact, the order is meaningless when it is not enforced.”

The state’s response: “The Agreed Order does not bind Ecology to any formal timeline to review deliverables prepared by the City.”

Other commenters pointed out that the landfill is not fenced.

Shelton resident Will Durham, a member of Waste Action Project, pointed out that Hall Equities was proposing placing a school near the C Street landfill as part of its Shelton Hills development.

“I’m told teenagers occasionally cross the C-Street overpass at night with blankets looking for comfortable places to enjoy outdoor sex,” he wrote.

“Despite a locked single-bar gate, kids on mountain bikes and dirt bikes are still free to steer around the gate to enter the 16.7-acre property.”

Wivell Dairies, Inc., of Mason County. She acquired the title recently in a statewide judging and as such was chosen for exhibition at the Puyallup Fair last week on her record of milk and butterfat production.

Winning that title is rather unusual for a lady of her years, the crown usually going to cows of much younger age. Midge Endowment Madge and young Willard Wivell, her keeper at the fair all week, were liberally photographed in front of the grandstand the day of the crowning.

The man is thought to be in his thirties and is about six feet tall. Sheriff Jug Potter thinks he is from Olympia after being notified by the Thurston County sheriff’s office of the escape of a man from Johnson’s Point, who recently burned down his house, cut off all his hair and stole a boat. Sheriff Potter told the Journal that the man was headed toward Pierce County in a rowboat Tuesday night, but so far Pierce County authorities there have not been able to locate him.

Kids Plant Olympias in Canal Once the Olympia oyster grew naturally in Hood Canal. Now efforts are under way to restore the little native oyster to the local waterway. On a cloudy day with a cool breeze last week, a group of people from various agencies and interests came together to plant Olympia oyster seed in ponds in the estuary of the Skokomish River located on the Skokomish Indian Reservation. Also attending were members of Hood Canal School’s riparian enhancement class.

Taylor Shellfish initiated the project three months ago by taking Olympia oyster seed to Point Whitney, the Washington State Fish and Wildlife Department’s laboratory. Five weeks ago, seed set on shells was visible only with a microscope. The shells set with that microscopic seed were placed in bags set in the waters of the Skokomish estuary. Last week, students could see minute oysters growing on the shells. The students, assisted by Taylor, threw the shells with their attached seed oysters into tagged areas. Each student will adopt a station in the restoration project, and will monitor the growth of the oysters and the water conditions at the site as the oysters grow to maturity. n These articles previously appeared in the Journal

Senior lunch on hold while dishwasher remains broken

I

have a sense the island is quieting down. Those sunny days that bring visitors and weekends to the island shores are quickly becoming a memory. And that is OK. After a long busy summer, quiet evenings can be something to look forward to.

In last week’s column, I said that the senior lunch program was back on its regular schedule — well, not so fast. The dishwasher/sterilizer is broken, and there will not be a senior lunch until it is fixed or replaced. So the lunch program is on hold until that happens. Those volun-

minutes, as only 20 can watch at once. This link will bring you a live-action look, and during the next couple of months you can watch all the action as this exciting new phase of our local educational program A NEAT LINK takes shape.

Here is a fun link. By MIKE The new Pioneer CALLAGHAN A NEAT APP School is in full buildA while back, I ing mode. Go check mentioned that app called Nextdoor. I was just out http://216.235.109.137, checking my account and we which is a video link for are up to 26 island neighbors the on-site webcam at the school. If you have a problem who are registered, and there getting on, try again in a few are another 174 neighbors

close by. There have already been a couple posts for lost pets and an announcement for suspicious behavior.

Since the loss of All Island Eyes, our community watch group, we have had very few options to get the word out if something needs immediate action.

This app seems to be a good alternative. All of the administration and updating is done by a third party.

The app is free. All we have to do is post our information. This site isn’t really for emergencies, but it can serve that need.

The main function is to contact and advertise things with your neighbors.

Right now, there is an islander asking about a vacation rental.

Another islander has a gas grill for sale and another ad is for a hot tub.

One of the neighbors close by notified the group of a mailbox break-in over by Benson Loop Road.

So, if you have a minute, I think it would be worth your time to check this out. n Mike Callaghan can be reached at sobadog@msn.com

Within the foster care system he suffered additional neglect and abuse, and those years left their marks on his psyche. At the age of seven he was adopted by Anita and Ed Watson, who gave him the name Robert, as well as a permanent home.

Bob joined the Navy after graduating high school in Kirkland, WA. He was a boxer on the Navy’s boxing team, and won a Golden Glove title in his weight class.

Bob studied at both Seattle Pacific University and the University of Washington, earning a bachelor’s degree as an ichthyologist from the University of Washington. At SPU he met Beryl “Babs” Bailey of Seattle, WA. They married in August of 1957 and remained so until Babs’ death in 2008.

Bob was employed with the Washington State Department of Game as a regional fisheries biologist. While there he also conceived and developed the Citizen’s Wildlife Heritage program encouraging people to donate properties and monies to protect wildlife habitat and public access. He retired from the state after approximately 35 years.

Additionally he owned a pub, a cedar salvage company, a shake mill, an urban logging company, and promoted boxing in his extra time. Upon his retirement Bob and Babs bought a home in Shelton, WA where they resided for more than 20 years.

In the late 1960’s Bob and Babs bought, renovated, and furnished a former lumberman’s home in Hoquiam, WA. It became known as Hoquiam’s Castle and was designated a State and National Historic Site.

For many years they provided guided tours through this home.

Bob was a loyal and generous friend, active, driven, and adventur-

ous. Over his lifetime he traveled to destinations in Africa, China, Europe, Mexico, and South America.

For over 20 years Bob and Babs wintered in Alamos, Mexico where they developed a circle of close friends, an interest in golf, and where Bob spent as much time as he could fishing.

Bob was an avid scrounger and collector.

His passions included taxidermy, vintage cars, carriage lamps, antiques, vintage cowboy wares, and specialty fishing lures. Throughout his life he maintained a love for fishing and banana splits.

For the last two years of his life he lived with his dog Taco in a studio apartment on his daughter’s property. The family would like to thank Bob’s loving and capable caregivers, Jenny, Vonda, Terre, Pam and Esther who took care of him to the end.

Bob is survived by his two daughters Jolie Carroll and Lora Burnett (Craig), grandchildren Cheyenna Carroll, Warren Carroll, Jordan Burnett (Megan), Savannah Burnett Wood (Kevin), great-grandchildren Ezri Carroll, Sydney Wood and Sloane Wood, brothers-in-law Paul Bailey, Bruce Bailey (Gayolin), and sister-in-law Liz Bailey.

A family memorial will be held at a later date along with a memorial in Alamos, Sonora Mexico on December 18, 2016.

Oyster House event to pay for permits

Here, fishy, fishy

By BRIANNA LOPER brianna@masoncounty.com The Sargent Oyster House has come a long way from falling apart in a field a few years ago. But the historic building still has a long way to go before it becomes the potential museum the North Bay Historical Society sees in its future.

To help complete the next step, the historical society will host a seafood dinner and auction.

Doors for the event will open at 5 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Allyn Community Association Clubhouse in the Allyn shopping center.

Dinner, courtesy of Taylor Shellfish, starts at 6 p.m., and will include barbecued oysters, grilled oysters, steamed clams and clam chowder, as well as brownies and Olympic Mountain ice cream for dessert.

Tickets are $30 per person.

During the evening, the clubhouse will be transformed into a mini-museum so attendees can get a taste for what the future of the Oyster House

District dissolves Theler trust

NMSB last week signed paperwork to dissolve trust to move forward with early childhood learning center The Samuel B. Theler Testamentary Trust is no more.

Last week, the North Mason School Board — along with local Boy Scout and Girl Scout leaders — signed documents to dissolve the trust that had previously funded the Mary E. Theler Wetlands and Community Center.

The trust was put in place after Sam Theler’s death in 1968, and was intended to perpetually pay for management of the wetlands and community center.

However, in recent years, mismanagement of the trust and high fees, both by the legal team and the bank managing the trust, used more money than scheduled. This will cause the trust to run out of funds within the next 10 years, according to the school district’s

legal counsel.

Raina Wagner, from K&L Gates, a Seattle-based law firm, attended the Sept. 15 school board meeting to explain to board members the logistics of dissolving the trust.

She said dissolving the trust was “all clean; there’s nothing suspicious about it. … It’s simply running short of funds.”

The Bank of New York Mellon manages the trust.

Board president Art Wightman signed the documents on behalf of the district, which is an 80 percent stakeholder in the trust.

Local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troop leaders also signed the document, Superintendent Dana Rosenbach said.

As of Aug. 31, the total assets in the trust were valued at $300,230.71, according to Rosenbach. Some legal fees

Scouts will each receive 10 percent of the final total.

Some school board members said they were surprised by the management fees.

“I’m overwhelmed by the fees that were being charged on a monthly basis,” said board member Laura Boad.

Wagner agreed that while “routine, regular maintenance is very costly,” the fees that were charged in past years were high.

Rosenbach told the Herald the trust was paying nearly $17,000 to the bank each month to manage the trust.

When asked if there were any questions regarding dissolving the trust, Boad said, “Just sign the thing. Get the money.”

All other aspects of the trust have previously been dissolved.

The North Mason School Board has experienced turmoil with the trust for the past year; after the district realized that it would be unable to keep the

— Mary’s visit from Mrs. Rabischau, in which she learned “all the canal news,” has me thinking about how extended and connected the communities were in Mary’s day. Of course, Mary and Sam were central figures of the community. With the Thelers’ frequent trips for business as well as pleasure, visiting their vast networks of friends and family, they really connected communities, even in places that to me seem like a far drive. Unlike today, people had to expend much more effort and face to face time to connect with each other in Mary’s day. One reason I love checking in with Mary’s life through this column is to see how despite the less advanced technologies they had then, communities probably knew each other a lot better than we do now.

Mrs. Pearsall bought the boys two red shirts and when I say red I mean red for they are the brightest shirts I ever saw.

It’s no fun having a watch that runs about half of the time. Ruth did the ironing and now that part of the work is all done.

The sun is just going down and it is beautiful on the canal. The bay is full of ducks and at night I can hear them call to each other. My plants are doing nicely and I hope to move them as soon as the rain starts so they won’t wilt down. The lawn looks good too.

Fair week is over and no rain to spoil it. This was certainly a lucky year.

Sent a letter to Louise Saturday.

She wrote me such a nice letter that I wanted to answer right away. The court gave Collier twenty years for that little episode last Saturday night.

He will have a long time to think over the mistake he made. I picked some rose seeds for the house and they look real nice for they are just the right color for the furnishings.

Tuesday, September 27, 1938 A dandy day and the time went so fast that I could not seem to get all the work done. Charlie went to the bank and got the eggs for me and also got

Oyster: Event will include traditional ‘Umpapa’ music continued from page A-28 will hold. Some items include a preWorld War II flamethrower, a large oyster shell, jar openers and tags, and tools used for oyster harvesting.

All of the items were found in the Oyster House when the historical society opened it up a few years ago, according to society president Bonnie Knight.

“We have a whole storage shed full of this stuff,” she said. “(The previous owners) just walked away and left all this stuff there.”

After dinner, there will be a live auction, with items such as $1,000 worth of shoreline permit work by marine biologist Bill Reye, Mosquito Fleet Winery barrel tasting for 10, and an ice cream birthday party for 10 by North Bay Kayaks & Cones.

A silent auction throughout the night will include items such as a shellfish cookbook, 10 pounds of oysters and a wine gift basket.

The evening will also include traditional Umpapa music, or traditional German music, played on brass instruments. Instructors will teach traditional dances such as the schottische and polka.

All proceeds from the event will go toward the $6,200 shoreline permits for the building.

The building is currently located in the Port of Allyn building parking lot, but the historical society hopes to move the historic house to the waterfront, near the port’s old boat launch ramp.

IF YOU GO: WHAT: Seafood Dinner and Auction for the Sargent Oyster House WHEN: 5 p.m. Oct. 8 WHERE: Allyn Community Association Clubhouse in the Allyn shopping center COST: Tickets are $30 per person; only 50 tickets available To purchase tickets or for more information, call Bonnie Knight at 801-1064, or email bknight173@aol.com.

A rendering shows what the future Sargent Oyster House museum might look like.

For several years, the historical society and the port have been working together to restore the building, previously used to harvest oysters, into an interactive museum.

The groups estimated last year that the project would cost about $450,000 to complete; however, Knight said much of that cost has decreased due to donations of both labor and services.

The historical society has put about

$120,000 into the restoration project already, Knight said, adding that much of that was grants or donations.

She estimates the groups need about $250,000 to complete the project, some of which will also be mitigated by donations.

“It was really quite a mess when we first got there,” Knight said. “But we’ve had hundreds and hundreds of hours of work that have been donated; it’s com-

ing together, slowly.”

The next step is the shoreline permits, which will be acquired through the county, Knight said. After that, the groups will continue cleanup and work to stabilize the building, as well as secure it for winter.

Knight said every little donation helps.

“We’re figuring we have another two years or so,” she said. “It’s slow and steady.”

To purchase tickets for the dinner, or for more information, call Knight at 801-1064, or email bknight173@ aol.com. Tickets are also available at North Bay Kayaks & Cones, at 18350 state Route 3, and Windermere Peninsula Properties, at 18400 state Route 3.

Theler: District continues to research the future of center

trust running for more than a decade, it began looking at other management options.

After several public forums and study sessions, Rosenbach earlier this summer presented a plan to split the property into its original three land parcels and deal with each separately.

Those pieces include the overflow parking lot to the south of the community center, the 5-acre community center and play field, and the 55-acre wetlands, which includes a classroom facility.

Rosenbach proposed the district keep the community center and play field, and turn that parcel into an early childhood education resource center. The district could also surplus the 55-acre wetland property and transfer ownership of the property and a grant for trail maintenance to another agency.

During its August meeting, the board voted unanimously to allow the superintendent to continue researching the possibility of an early learning center, as well as exploring partnerships with other agencies for the 55-acre portion, which could include the state Department of Natural Resources or Fish and Wildlife.

Rosenbach said the district plans to continue to host public forums and meetings throughout the de-

cision process to keep the community involved.

“The trust was a wonderful asset to the community, the school district, and the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts,” Rosenbach told the Herald. “We were all very grateful. … We want to continue to provide what we can for the community and gather in partnership with the community.”

Sam and Mary Theler were prominent North Mason community members during the first part of the 1900s.

The next school board meeting is scheduled at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 20 in the boardroom of the district office building at 71 E. Campus Drive in Belfair.

Shelton boys tennis snags victory over North Thurston

By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ alexandria@masoncounty.com For the first three matches of the season, Shelton High School coach John Perry switched up his boys tennis lineup every contest. It worked in the Highclimbers’ second match, but failed during its shut out loss to the Capital Cougars. So against the North Thurston High School Rams, Perry changed it again.

It was successful Sept. 14 as the

Highclimbers beat the Rams 4-1.

“I’m really proud of my guys and the way they bounced back,” coach Perry said. “We did everything that we worked on in practice yesterSimon day. We worked on consistency and being aggressive. More than anything we worked on our intensity.”

This was the second victory of the season for the Shelton Highclimbers.

As of Tuesday, Shelton is 3-2 in the 3A South Sound Conference. On Sept. 16, the Highclimbers beat Central Kitsap 3-2.

Back at the No. 1 and No. 2 singles spots Sept. 14 were junior Jamin Perry and senior Cody Simon. During the first three matches, Perry and Simon bounced around the lineup. Perry spent the first three matches at No. 1 doubles and competed with his younger brother

twice. Simon competed at No. 1 singles and No. 3 doubles.

Jamin Perry gave up only one game during his match against North Thurston sophomore Nicholas Holiday.

“The games started out pretty nice,” Perry said. “The other kid, he was an awesome guy to play with. To me it seemed pretty evenly matched at first, and as I got warmed up I was able to see TENNIS, page B-8

it’s time to get more.”

MMK ended the first half with a 48-8 lead. If a team leads by 40 points or more after the first half in eightman football, the clock doesn’t stop except for touchdowns or injuries.

Frost and senior Quentin Narrance once again led the team. Narrance had four carries for a team-leading 129 yards, scored three touchdowns and registered 3.5 tackles. Frost had one forced fumble and a team-leading 6.5 tackles.

Despite the Mason County Friends of the Parks pulling out of a project to put synthetic turf on two fields at the Mason County Recreation Area, the county’s support services director Frank Pinter says the project is still happening. He said the county signed contracts Tuesday with OSG Dozing LLC, and the fields have already undergone preparation for their facelifts.

Pinter “It impacts nothing at all,” Pinter said.

“What they did was, they (The Friends of the Parks) had garnered some donations for materials. The county, in working with the Friends of the Parks required that their board have insurance to protect their board as a function of their contract. They elected not to have that insurance, so we have gone forward.”

Pinter said the county contacted the one individual who was donating materials to the project. The donator said they would still provide the materials, whether the Friends were involved or not.

Construction will start in the next few weeks, Pinter said. OSG Dozing worked on the first two turf fields and will convert fields 6 and 7 at MCRA. On Sept. 6, Neal Winders with the Friends read a letter at the Mason County Commissioners meeting stating that the county gave the group a nine-page memorandum of understanding that detailed numerous tasks the group needed to complete. Some of these tasks included

Knight Owls topple Kings Mary M. Knight takes care of Muckleshoot

By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ alexandria@masoncounty.com The Mary M. Knight Owls football season is off to a rough and odd start.

In their first game, the Knight Owls lost to Quilcene and had their team bus break down on the way home.

During its second game, the bus got

lost on a detour and the Owls faced physical Crescent Bay to fall 0-2.

But the Knight Owls rebounded at home Sept. 17, when they walloped the Muckleshoot Kings in a 56-20 victory.

The Owls were all grins after their first victory of the season.

“It was a great game,” junior Ian Frost said. “It was their first game of the season and it was our third, so we had a little more experience than them. We still have a lot of things to build on. It was a good first win — so we can get that out of the way — now

made to burn the limb piles, under supervision, but it proved too dangerous. So the piles remain there, along with the beetles.

“Supposedly they can fly only 12 feet from tree to tree,” the ranger said.

“They’re lazy, I guess.

We try to maintain an 18-foot buffer between piles and healthy trees.

Sometimes, this seems to work. It’s a Band-Aid, but that’s all we can do: identify new infestations, and take them down, locally.”

“Every pile you see represents a former tree,” the ranger said, sighing. “You could say we’re losing the battle 12 feet at a time.”

Custer State Park has the resources to fight such a battle (a $20 entrance fee is a major source of income). But in the national forest, the opposite is true. Slash piles are larger, less frequent, and often they are bordered by dead or sickly trees.

NOW THE GOOD NEWS Don’t misunderstand; come see the Black Hills.

They are beautiful.

Throughout the state park, entire vistas still retain healthy pine and fir. Similar to the eastern Washington forests near our own Jefferson Pass, the views are stunning. And you need not

travel 10 feet from your car, thanks to one of America’s greatest road building achievements, the Needles Highway.

Midway on your jawdropping journey on the Needles, you’ll come to a parking area that also serves as the Cathedral Spires trailhead. Please take the trail.

At only 1.5 miles, it’s a moderate but spectacular trail into the craggy footings of tall, conelike granite and quartz buttes. Packed tightly together, like organ pipes, these stone formations indeed resemble cathedral spires.

Adorned with minerals and crystals, the spires literally glisten.

You can open a New Age bookstore with what you gather along the trail.

Halfway on the trail was a small, tinkling spring. Here, I cupped my hands and brought fresh water to my face.

Doing so, I disturbed some sand, and the water swirled with fine gold specks that shimmered in the light. Shiny flecks tumbled, flowing downstream.

Gold? Really?

Someone else must have had the same experience in 1872. n Mark Woytowich is a writer, photographer and video producer who lives in Potlatch.

“This was a great matchup for our season opener,” Bulldogs coach Kanoe Lilly said. “The first three sets were very close, and though we didn’t generate a win we learned a lot. Our team has to work more on serves, serve receive and court awareness.”

We need to work on our kickoff coverage as Yelm had some success there.”

They run a lot of the same things we try to do offensively and a 3-4 defense.” n Offensive Player of the Game: Marshall McCullough. “He had a big night receiving,” Hinkle said. “His first catch really got the offense going.” n Defensive Player of the Game: Skyler Ross. “He had a school recordtying three interceptions,” Hinkle said.

What I love about these eight-player and has two sets of metal bleachers.

I remember the first time I watched football games is the grit and desire I was shocked when one of the teams these players have. They don’t get the scored seconds into the game.

If you were like me last fall and have never watched an eight-man football game, I highly recommended checking out a game.

Bucs rally to defeat Bulldogs in Belfair

North Mason still searching for first win

By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ alexandria@masoncounty.com It wasn’t the homecoming coach Phil Pugh expected. After two road games to open the season, the North Mason High School football team was ready to win at home. The Kingston Buccaneers had a different plan.

The Bucs outplayed the Bulldogs Sept. 16 in a 17-14 victory in a 2A Olympic League showdown.

Although it was a loss, Pugh said the team played better than it did in its first two games.

“There were some killer mistakes that we made in the first half,” he said.

“Inability to handle the punts twice and then the tipped ball that resulted in their first touchdown.

That’s kind of how it is sometimes, but we certainly played better.”

With their loss, the Bulldogs are 0-3 overall.

Last week’s contest was North Mason’s first league matchup. In their first two games, the Bulldogs scored 13 points total.

Both teams last week battled in the second quarter and the only points notched were a Kingston field goal from 7 yards out with 3 seconds remaining. Kingston headed into the locker room with a 9-6 lead.

North Mason junior Tyler Thomas was a playmaker for the Bulldogs once again in the third quarter. With just under five minutes left in the quarter, Bulldogs quarterback Anthony

North Mason High School running back Tyler Thomas, No. 29, zips down the field Sept. 16 during a home game against the Kingston Buccaneers.

Schooler handed off to Thomas, who rushed in for a 3-yard touchdown.

On the two-point conversion, Schooler ran into the end zone to pull North Mason ahead 14-9.

But the Bucs had the last say. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, junior wide receiver Nick Waxon scored a second touchdown for the Buccaneers, this one on a 39-yard touchdown pass from quarterback John Jones. The Bucs ran in for two points and took a 17-14 lead, which held as the final score.

“Exciting game for sure,” said first-year Bucs coach Alec Grimm.

“It came down to the end.

I’m really proud of the guys for just fighting the

whole time. There were a couple spots in the game here at the end where we needed some big, big stops on defense, and we needed to get the ball moving. We just kept fighting and it was great to see that out of a young group.”

North Mason never made it back to the end zone as it encountered a bevy of problems. The Bulldogs’ passing game fell flat as Schooler threw multiple incomplete passes. The team had several penalties and at the end of its final drive, Schooler was intercepted

by Kingston linebacker Aidan Allsop.

The Bulldogs started the game strong with a fumble recovery by sophomore Eric Jones at Kingston’s 36-yard line.

North Mason’s first penalty flag flew on its fourth play, when it was called for holding. But despite the blunder, Thomas ran in for a 15-yard touchdown. The Bulldogs’ second mistake of the drive came when their extrapoint kick was blocked.

Thomas was the star for the Bulldogs in a difficult loss.

“Our line did great,” Thomas said.

“They

We’ll come back swinging next week. We fought to the end. It didn’t end how we wanted to, but we just have to keep fighting.”

As a team, North Mason threw for 20 yards and rushed for 154 yards.

Schooler went 2-for-8 passing for 20 yards and scored a two-point conversion. Thomas had 15 carries for 76 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore running back Mario Nanez had three carries for 7 yards.

The Bucs responded to their fumbling mistake by scoring their own touchdown two minutes later in the first quarter.

Jones threw a pass that was tipped, but ended up in the hands of Waxon, who ran in for the tying touchdown. On its extra point kick, Kingston sent the ball wide right, leaving the game tied 6-6.

While this game is notched as a loss, the score reflects vast improvement from its first two games, Thomas said.

He said the team’s blocking improved and they

felt confident overall.

The Bulldogs’ next matchup is 7 p.m. tomorrow at Port Angeles High School. Junior Garrett Borah said the team is on the cusp of getting its first win.

“Coach talks about how we’re not respected in this league,” Borah said. “That’s what we’re trying to strive for. I think we earned some of it tonight. We want the other coaches saying, ‘You hit harder than us.

You’re better than us.’

That’s how we’re going to win.”

Ariana Dose is a senior forward and midfielder for the Shelton Highclimbers. After graduation, Dose would like to play soccer in college.

Double duty for Dose

Senior’s extra time with club soccer helps during the high school season with speed and skills

By ALEXANDRIA VALDEZ alexandria@masoncounty.com

I

f Ariana Dose isn’t playing in a Shelton High School soccer jersey, she’s somewhere else on another pitch, representing another team. The Highclimbers midfielder and forward can’t get enough soccer.

When Dose was little, she watched her older sister play the sport and wanted to play.

“When I first started playing, I didn’t really like soccer at all,” said Dose, a senior. “But it grew on me.”

In her final season as a Highclimber, Dose is hoping to attract collegiate eyes so she can continue her career past high school.

One of Dose’s biggest influences in her soccer career has been her first coach, Andrew Kinney. He helped build her early skills in Shelton, then connected her with club opportunities.

During the past three years, Dose has played with club teams Black Hills FC in Lacey and the Puget Sound Premier League Surf Academy.

The extra time spent on the field paid dividends for Dose, and Shelton coach Dan Deacon utilizes his club player’s skills.

“It definitely helps no matter where you’re at,” Deacon said. “You can draw those players out; you can use them as extra eyes and help to explain. So as I have small groups going on, I can put them in charge of a group and show them what to do. Usually the drill will get run the way I want it to, so I can focus on other players that need a little more help.”

Deacon said usually the Highclimbers have two or three players each season with club experience. This year, he has two year-round players, including Dose. He said on the pitch, Dose has a lot of motivation and skills that the other players look up to.

One new challenge for Dose this year is working on her leadership skills.

“She leads more by silent example, which is a little difficult in soccer,” Deacon said. “She expects everybody to see what she’s doing and then want to do it just as well. We have some

“It’s meant a lot to me. When I look back a few years ago it didn’t really mean that much to me, but now I’ve made a bunch of friendships and learned so much about life by playing.”

Ariana Dose, Shelton High School soccer player

In the fall for Shelton, Dose brings technical skills and speed. She said her biggest weakness is her field sense and knowing when to take a shot or pass it.

Dose said it’s fun when the high school season rolls around because she gets to face her club teammates. The jump from club soccer to high school is drastically different.

“The speed of play,” Dose said.

“Club soccer is a big step up on the speed of play. The physicality too.”

Her favorite memories from Shelton High School soccer are the bus rides to away games. On the way back home after a win, Dose said the team sings in jubilation.

After graduation, Dose would like to pursue soccer at the collegiate level.

She said she is already in talks with The Evergreen State College soccer team. On the Geoducks squad is freshman Grace Phelan, a 2015 Shelton High School graduate.

Even in her free time, Dose can’t pull herself away from the game. She takes breaks to play with her two dogs, Kona and Shadow, but that’s her only pause from soccer. Dose will play at home, with her club or indoor soccer in Tenino.

From all her hours spent on the field, Dose has an intimate knowledge of soccer. But even the player of 10plus years has learned a lot from the sport that has given Dose her identity.

“It builds you as a person and teaches you a lot of life lessons like perseverance, teamwork and leadership,” Dose said. “It’s meant a lot to me. When I look back a few years ago it didn’t really mean that much to me, but now I’ve made a bunch of friendships and learned so much about life by playing.”

Tennis: Climbers tennis nabs critical win against Rams continued from page B-1 remember what my coaches taught me and I was able to put that into more use. From then on, the match got more and more relaxing for me.”

In the first game of the set, Holliday took an early lead by scoring the first two points. The players tied it at deuce and traded several points. Perry won

“He could hit corners if he tried to hit the ball hard. When he got his serve in, it was pretty darn good. I always had to move for that shot and I always had to resort to more of a defensive shot.”

the ad-out point when he sent a ball to the left side of the court as Holiday leaped to the right.

Perry put away the next three games, but had his one hiccup in the sixth game. After Holiday missed the first three points, he earned a point after Perry double faulted. Holiday won the game after battling back and outplayed Perry.

Holiday had his own problems with serving and sending balls out of bounds. He sent a multitude of shots to the corners, but Perry was able to play them back.

“He could hit corners if he tried to hit the ball hard,” Perry said. “When he got his serve in, it was pretty darn good. I always had to move for that shot and I always had to resort to more of a defensive shot.”

Shelton’s No. 1 doubles team ran into trouble when it faced North Thurston’s dynamite duo of juniors, Michael Campbell and Thomas Sui. Last season, the pair competed in the 3A state Boys Tennis Double Championships.

The Rams squad defeated freshman Jonah Perry and junior Ethan Pentony 6-0, 6-0.

The Climbers scored a few points on the Rams, but couldn’t overcome the Rams’ quick shots.

“It was interesting today,” Pento-

Rams coach Fred Reed said usually his No. 1 doubles team can’t find a lot of competition at its level during the regular season. But he credited Shelton’s

team for pushing his two stars.

“The team here was pretty competitive,” Reed said. “But they (Campbell and Sui) were able to step up and play pretty well. They won 6-0 and 6-0, so I’m pretty proud of them.”

Shelton’s next match is a South Sound Conference meeting at 3:30 p.m. today at Peninsula High School.

MMK: Knight Owls jumped to early lead in first quarter continued from page B-1 “Quentin again on offense is just a beast,” Mary M. Knight coach Mike Bateman said. “It doesn’t matter if he’s running the ball or bringing back kickoffs, if he gets the ball in his hands he’s just an animal.”

The Kings came out hot in the third quarter. In the opening minutes, Muckleshoot quarterback Donate Johnson opened with a long pass. From Mary M. Knight’s own 31-yard line, the Kings moved to first-and-goal in two plays.

The Kings ran in for a touchdown with 8:04 in the third quarter, but were halted by the Owls defenders during the ensuing two-point conversion attempt.

Mary M. Knight scored its eighth and final touchdown at the end of the third quarter. At the Knight Owls 40yard line, quarterback Zack Thompson ran to the left and zipped the ball to junior Jason Shaw on the right side.

With a clear field, Shaw ran in for the touchdown to put the Owls up 56-14.

Muckleshoot scored one final touchdown in the fourth quarter.

“Our team did pretty good. It was our first game of the year,” Kings coach Carlo Lavoie said. “We got a lot of young kids and we only had 11 today.

So the first half was kind of rough, but

in the second half, we came out and did pretty good. It was a learning experience, so next week should be a better game for us.”

Thompson went 2-for-3 passing for 60 yards. He had one passing touchdown and rushed for 32 yards. Freshman Nathan Shaw jumped behind center and was 1-for-3 passing for 5 yards, rushed for 4 yards and had a receiving touchdown. Junior Kyle Bundy rushed for 28 yards and had 1.5 tackles, junior Cole Ruthruff had two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery, and freshman Steven Newman had one tackle and a sack.

Mary M. Knight took control early on. The squad scored its first touchdown 30 seconds into the game with a 48-yard rushing score from Narrance.

In the first quarter, the Knight Owls scored 32 points and kept Muckleshoot out of the end zone.

The Kings scored their first touchdown at the end of the second quarter.

On a kick return, the Kings received the ball at their own 30-yard line and were pushed out of bounds at the Owls 5-yard line. Muckleshoot ran in for the team’s first touchdown on the next play.

Narrance ended the second quarter with an 80-yard kick return for a touchdown.

Mary M. Knight freshman Nathan Shaw, No. 31, throws a pass during a Sept. 14 game against the Muckleshoot Kings. The Knight Owls beat the Kings 56-20.

While it was a win, Bateman said there were problems. The defense blocked better, but there were three kick returns that came back due to penalties. Mary M. Knight also had three false starts. But he said for learning a brand new system, the team is catching up.

Senior Branden Oglesby said the Kings were a good team that hit hard.

“I feel like we did well,” Oglesby said. “I feel like we could have done better, but we gave it our all. We won.”

MMK hits the road again tomorrow for a 7 p.m. matchup against Rainier Christian at Kentwood High School.

Turf: Area coaches and schools thrilled about new fields continued from page B-1 providing donor requirements, confidentiality clauses and a requirement for $3,000 a year for insurance.

Winders said at the meeting it was just too much to ask.

“All we wanted to do is the let the community be a part of this effort to make better ball fields for them,” Winders said. “It seems excessive to ask the community to go through the seven labors of Hercules, using their own time and money, just to be allowed to provide a donation to the county.”

During the meeting, Pinter said the memorandum was just a draft. In a phone interview Monday, he said there

was never any fear that the project would not continue with or without the Friends.

Shelton High School utilizes the current two turf fields at MCRA for JV and C-level fastpitch and baseball games.

Athletic director Jim Judson said he appreciates the addition of the two additional synthetic turf fields.

“The addition will be great for every program that uses the park out there,” Judson said. “It’s great for youth baseball and fastpitch. It’s a benefit to the high school program. Springtime in the Northwest is very unpredictable. You can deal with a little rainfall, but that changes quickly. We appreciate the two fields and look forward to the opportunity to utilize the additional fields.”

Besides the high school using the turf fields, the Mason County Youth Baseball Association also uses the turf fields for competitions. Association president Jason Winans said the addition of the fields is going to be “the best thing we’ve ever done for the community.”

“It will be tremendous,” Winans said. “It will open up the ability for more teams and more tournaments.

The revenue it’s going to bring into our county or town is going to be amazing.

It’s going to be a good thing.”

Winans said the league had six tournaments last year, which brought in 17,000 people. Next year, organizers want to add more tournaments and bring in 20,000 to 25,000 people. He

said the addition of the two fields will make the facilities among the top baseball complexes in the area.

Mason County received a grant from the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office for $285,000 in 2012.

When the grant was put forward, the county commissioners requested the community help match some of the donated funds. During the summer, the Friends of the Parks solicited monetary and material donations equaling around $165,000.

In Mason County, there are only three synthetic turf fields. Two of them are softball/baseball fields at MCRA and the other is a practice field at North Mason High School.

A Dream Within a Dream Edgar Allan Poe

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow: You are not wrong who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sandç How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep—while I weep!

O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp?

O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave?

Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?

This poem is in the public domain.

About this poem Representative of Poe’s later work, “A Dream Within a Dream” is a revised version of a poem Poe originally composed in the 1820s.

It is considered one of the poet’s finest shorter poems. In an article published in 1849, Poe wrote, “It is by no means an irrational fancy that, in a future existence, we shall look upon what we think our present existence, as a dream.”

About Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe was born 205 years ago on January 19, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts. Poe’s work as an editor, poet, and critic had a profound impact on American and international literature, and his short stories mark him as one of the originators of both horror and detective fiction. Poe died on October 7, 1849.
