The Shelton City Council on Tuesday named Jeffrey Niten, the community development director for the city of Ridgefield for the past three years, the new city man-ager.

Niten, 45, will start his new job Jan. 14.

The city council chose Niten from four finalists selected by the re-cruitment firm Slavin Management Consultants of Atlanta. The council members voted unanimously for Ni-ten at a special meeting that lasted four minutes, prior to a study ses-sion at the Shelton Civic Center.

This is a tale of two Santas.Beginning in 1962, the first 32-foot

wooden Saint Nick greeted visitors entering the center of downtown Shel-ton; the sign at Santa’s feet proclaimed Shelton “Christmastown, USA.”

Clarence Beauchamp, who also de-signed the iconic Log Monument and the Mason County Forest Festival pageant sets, created the beaming, three-story Kris Kringle who waved to passing motorists.

But as the years passed, vandals tarnished Santa with paint, and tore off his arm. He’s been moved several times. For the past 20 years, he’s been attached to a barn at Hunter Farms in Union, fading in the sunshine and rain.

If the Port of Shelton declares Oak-land Bay Marina surplus property, the land can revert back to the City of Shelton — which is considering leas-ing the land to the Shelton Yacht Club under the agreement that public ac-cess remains the same or improves.

The Shelton City Council talked about the ramifications of such a deal Tuesday evening at a study session at the Shelton Civic Center.

In October, the Port of Shelton Com-mission announced the Shelton Yacht Club is interested in buying the ma-rina. The marina accommodates 109 moored boats, and includes a guest dock, pump-out stations and haul-out facilities.

With the port discussing the future of the marina and looking at a pos-sible $3 million bill for dock repairs, members of the Shelton City Council were informed in September that the possible surplus of the marina would mean the land would revert back to city ownership.

In February 1950, the city deeded 12 parcels of Oakland Bay tidelands to the port under these conditions: that the port remains a taxing district and the property that includes the marina must be used for port purposes.

In his report to the city in Septem-ber, Mark Ziegler — the city’s com-munity development director — asked council members to consider three op-tions in case of a surplus:

n Take ownership of the property and the liability of the structures and determine its long-term use, including city management, lease or sale.

n Waive the reversion clause and deed the property to the port.

n Waive the reversion clause and deed the property to the port with the requirement that the public retains access.

At Tuesday’s work session, Ziegler said the Shelton Yacht Club is pro-posing leasing the city’s four shore-line right-of-ways in the same kind of agreement it currently has with the Port of Shelton. The port’s lease ex-pires in five years; the Shelton Yacht Club is seeking a 99-year lease.

Under the proposed agreement, the club would have to maintain public ac-cess, which is currently one dock and a boat launch.

Dave Mariano of the Shelton Yacht Club told the council members and city staff that the club has been at the site for more than 70 years. The marina was “cedar logs with boards on them,” he said.

Club members built much of the infrastructure, adding floats and elec-tricity, Mariano said.

As for community access, “it won’t be diminished, it will be enhanced,” he said.

The club can envision improving the boat launch, moving the parking lot away from the water, creating a picnic site, adding a restroom and creating more guest docks, Mariano said.

“We really want to make this a place where people want to come,” he said.

Jon Collins, an attorney working for the city, said the contract will have to clearly define public access.

“ ‘Public access’ is a vague term in the lease,” said the lawyer. He sug-gested the city could add a current public access map to the lease for fu-ture reference.

When asked why the club is re-questing a 99-year lease, Mariano said he believes the marina needs $13 mil-lion in improvements, and the projects won’t get funded in a staggered man-ner if the club only has a 30-year lease.

“It provides financing and cer-tainty and stability,” he said, adding, “There’s a whole lot of risk going on.”

The two entities will continue to ne-gotiate.

“We’ll work on it and bring it back,” Ziegler told the council members.

Last spring, the Port of Shelton Board of Commissioners hosted three public forums on the future of the ma-rina. Port officials say the marina’s south dock needs repairs that will cost about $3 million.

The port has discussed several op-tions, including selling the marina; creating a public/private partnership to manage and develop the marina; borrow money to repair the dock; and increase moorage fees to pay for the repairs.

The Port of Shelton plans to re-pave the Sanderson Field runway next summer, and is considering purchas-ing land at the west end of the runway for expansion.

The cost of the runway overlay is $3.1 million for construction, and $350,000 for design engineering. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is paying about $320,000 for the preliminary design.

“It’s an exciting, big project,” said Brandon Palmer, the port’s engineer-ing manager. “We’re thankful the FAA has the confidence in us to pull it off.”

That project is funded. The port will also add two items to the construction process, if it can afford them, Palmer said.

One is replacing the runway edge lighting. The other is to buy up to 70 acres of property from Green Diamond Resource Co. and Hall Equities, the Shelton Hills developers, at the west end of the runway and protect expan-sion options.

“Many years in the future, we might extend the runway … We’re very early in the process,” Palmer said.

All three projects will happen in 2019 if the money is available, Palmer said.

“We have five years of projects we want to get done,” he said.

All three projects are in preliminary design and environmental review. Any work must be sensitive to the presence

of the streaked horned lark, a rare en-demic bird subspecies found only in western Washington and Oregon and listed as an endangered species, and the Shelton pocket gopher.

This summer, contractors will re-move irregularities on the 5,000-foot-runway, then pave on existing as-phalt, Palmer said. The runway will be closed for about a month.

The runway is in good shape, and it’s less expensive to keep it in shape, Palmer said.

The last full overlay was in 1994, “so it’s definitely time,” he said.

Wendy Smith, the port’s executive director, said the runway received a FFA-funded slurry seal in 2012 that cost about $600,000, and prolonged the life of the runway.

“The surface is good today … and it will be better,” Smith said.

Sanderson Field is a general avia-tion field built as a World War II facil-ity. About 95 aircraft are based at the airport, with about 15 people on a list waiting for hangars.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Gov. Jay Inslee are among the people who touch down on Sanderson Field, Smith said.

The second runway is a crosswind runway, a common feature of airports built during World War II, Smith said. These days, that runway hosts Oyster-Fest, car shows and concerts, includ-ing Everclear last summer.

On adjoining property, the port plans to demolish the fairgrounds buildings in January.

Leftovers from 2018JOURNAL EDITORIAL

When is the last time you used cash to make a purchase?

Go ahead, look in your wallet and compare the plastics to the papers.

Which of those do you use to make most of your purchases?

That little plastic debt-machine in your wallet was introduced in 1950. Since its introduction, it’s landed you points, airline miles and cash-back on nearly all of our purchases.

If you’re using the right card at the right time, you can get 4 percent back on your purchases. If you have the airline’s credit card it may award you double, even triple miles on purchases of travel with them.

It’s made shopping both fun and easy. Walk over to your most convenient of

convenience stores, grab a bag of chips and a soda, swipe your card and you’re out in seconds.

No need to count the change and forget the receipts — just go online and check your account.

Need to order something online? Type in those 16 digits and Amazon will have that tchotchke shipped and at your door within 48 hours.

And unlike the greenbacks, you know where your plastic has been.

According to Time Magazine, that 10-dollar bill in your pocket has an 80 percent chance of containing trace amounts of cocaine. Researchers swabbed one-dollar bills from a bank in

New York City and found a variety of microorganisms — some of which cause acne. They also identified pathogens such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), salmonella and staphylococcus aureus.

So, what’s the down side?All of those points you’ve built up over

the last year come at a cost. Mr. and Mrs. Drugstore Owners are pay-

ing 2 to 4 percent on every transaction. That means the price of your bag of

chips and soda went up 3 percent when you swiped that card.

A business that pulls in $1 million in a year in credit card business lost $30,000 to the banks that serve them. That’s enough money to hire another full-time employee.

We’re lucky to live in a community that supports small, locally owned businesses.

The businesses here are generally owned and operated by your neighbors.

That’s a precious and unusual thing these days.

You see these business people at the gro-cery store and your kids’ basketball games.

You’ve probably seen them downtown during this past week’s holiday festivities or brushed elbows while catching an eve-ning flick at the Shelton Cinemas.

Every time you hit, “purchase with one click,” it weakens our community.

So be a responsible holiday shopper this year. Shop local and use cash.

And please, for your own sake, wash your hands.

Cash makes local businesses happy

The good news is Wash-ington’s revenues continue to grow and

projections for the next couple of years appear promising. That is welcome news, but it is sprinkled with caution about intro-ducing new taxes.

Our state’s Eco-nomic and Revenue Forecast Council (ERFC) quarterly update shows a whopping 17.3 per-cent increase in state income for the current biennium. That welcome an-nouncement comes just in time for the holidays.

For background, Washing-ton’s budget is on a two-year cycle. The current spending plan started in July 2017 and runs through June 2019. State tax collections, boosted by robust economic growth, are expected to generate $45.8 billion. Unlike Con-gress, our state is required to balance its budget and can only borrow to bond for

roads, schools and public buildings.

As ERFC looks ahead to 2019-21, it projects a 9.2 per-cent revenue increase and 7.6 percent in 2021-23.

Last week, the Washington Re-search Council’s (WRC) website car-ried the headline: “Revenues are still growing strong, but for how long?”

WRC, which has tracked our state’s budgets and taxes since 1932, recognize the uniqueness of

Washington’s tax structure. The state is only one of seven with no personal or corporate income tax and doesn’t tax capital gains. Rather, Wash-ington has a Business and Occupation tax (B&O), which charges businesses on total (gross) income.

We collect nearly half (45 percent) of our state revenue from sales tax, which when combined with local govern-ment charges can reach a

combined rate of 9.6 percent. Washington motorists pay the nation’s third-highest gaso-line tax, $0.677 per gallon.

Here in lie the cautionary warnings.

In recent legislative ses-sions in Olympia, Gov. Jay Inslee and some lawmakers attempted to create a new 7 percent capital gains tax on earnings from the sale of stocks, bonds and other as-sets above $25,000 for indi-viduals and $50,000 for those who file jointly.

Additionally, Inslee backed a new carbon-fee initiative to combat climate change which was defeated by voters last month.

Initiative 1631, which would have launched in 2020, taxed many but not all emit-ters $15 per metric ton of CO2 releases. The levy would increase each year by $2 per metric ton (plus inflation) reaching about $43 by 2030. The funding decisions would be made by an appointed 15-member board.

The costs would fall heav-

ily on households, The Wash-ington Policy Center found. The average household tax in-crease would range from $234 to $305 in 2021 and climb to between $672 and $877 in 2030. The largest portion of the cost would be in a 14-cent per-gallon gas tax.

The fuel tax has epicenter of the recent riots in France where diesel currently costs $6.50 a gallon. It is slated to increase to fight climate change.

France has a 9.2 percent unemployment rate and is al-ready the most heavily taxed among the developed nation in world, according to the Or-ganization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The Wall Street Journal reports: “France doesn’t col-lect that revenue in the ways you might think. Despite the stereotype of heavy European income taxes on the rich, Par-is relies disproportionately on social-insurance, payroll and property taxes.”

“The rich aren’t rich

enough to fund the modern welfare state’s ambitions, and their labor and wealth are too mobile to pin down in high-tax jurisdictions,” WSJ said. “The real money is in the middle class, whose labor income is far easier to tax, especially if the tax is disguised as a social “contri-bution.”

The Atlantic summed the situation best: “The protest-ers have said that whereas (French President Emmanu-el) Macron is focused on the end of the world, they are simply focused on the end of the month.”

That precaution resonates in our state as well.

Unsung heroes in our midstEditor, the Journal

I recently completed the school bus driver training provided by the Shelton School District and the Ma-son County Transportation Cooperative. Over the past weeks, I have learned about the extraordinary efforts and the people behind delivering Mason County school children

safely to and from school each day. I know I never gave much thought to what went into such an everyday part of life until I got the opportu-nity to experience it from the inside.

Each morning, before most of us are up and about, a dedicated team of driv-ers is out performing safety checks on their buses to make sure that the vehicles’ brakes, lights and mechani-cal systems are working properly. Then they set out in what are often less than ideal conditions — darkness, rain, ice, snow, fog, etc. — to pick up students and carry them to school. After one batch of students is safely delivered, the drivers are off to collect the elementary students to be delivered to their schools a bit later that morning.

While the mornings have

their own set of challenges, the afternoons present driv-ers with busloads of children who have been made to sit quietly in class all day and are now full of pent up en-ergy, and impatient to get home and play. Bus driv-ers must maintain a sort of parental control over 50 or more children not their own, while safely piloting a large vehicle and maintaining radio contact with the base. Add to these demands the odd unruly child or obstreperous parent and one can see the quality and strength of char-acter called for. How many parents are often taxed to the breaking point with only two or three of their own children acting up in the back seat?

Yet every weekday, dedi-cated professionals assemble with a team spirit resembling a military operation in which each member joins together

to mobilize equipment and move people in a safe and timely manner. It has been quite the rewarding experi-ence to get to know these unsung heroes doing the important work of helping other people’s children get an education. If you see them on the road, please give them a wave or nod of acknowledge-ment, or maybe consider let-ting them go in front of you on a busy street.

As you may know, there is a nationwide shortage of bus drivers, and Shelton is no ex-ception. If you are looking for a job in which you can be of genuine service and be a part of a group of caring, friendly people, consider contacting Holly Tucker at 360-426-3182.

Plenty of support for veteransEditor, the Journal

The comments made last week at the Shelton City Council meeting really showed the deep support for the pro-posed Veterans Village, tiny homes project planned for Shelton. It will be the first of its kind in Washington state and is fully funded. We should all be grateful to the citizens who stepped forward to ex-press their support for the project. They spoke from the heart and addressed several of the misconceptions previ-ously expressed. Let’s see the city move forward quickly with the land and permitting. Homeless veterans should not have to endure another winter without adequate, safe hous-ing.

Sen. Tim SheldonPotlatch

CORRECTIONA story on the Shelton Timber-land Library in the Dec. 6 issue incorrectly stated that the Tim-berland Regional Library Board of Trustees proposed closing seven libraries. In fact, it was TRL administration that proposed those closures in its Capital Facili-ties Proposal in September.The story also incorrectly states that the Shelton library is in the former Irene S. Reed High School building. The Journal regrets the errors.




A Shelton Police Department officer was transported Dec. 7 to Mason Gen-eral Hospital with minor injuries after assisting state Department of Correc-tions officers with the apprehension of a 21-year-old Schuyler Rae Conklin.

At about 9:45 a.m. that day, while trying to take the Shelton man into custody for an undisclosed parole vio-lation, DOC officers reportedly called for assistance in apprehending a com-bative Conklin at a residence on Wy-

andotte Avenue in Shelton. According to police reports, Shelton officers ar-rived to find Conklin in handcuffs on the ground in the drive-way of the residence, sweating profusely, with mucus running from his nose.

The Shelton Po-lice probable cause declaration states Conklin was “highly agitated,” peri-odically shouted threats and obsceni-ties at law enforcement personnel and shouted, “please don’t do this to me. … I can’t do 30 days.” Conklin reportedly refused officers’ commands to stand up.

Soon, members of Conklin’s fam-ily arrived on scene, which according to police reports, escalated Conklin’s agitation. During a struggle, Conklin reportedly kneed a SPD officer in the

groin. The officer was treated and re-leased from the hospital and returned to work this week.

Though not mentioned in court doc-uments, a Shelton Police Department news release issued the afternoon of the incident states Conklin spit in the face of a second officer, who was also treated and released from Mason Gen-eral Hospital.

After about 30 minutes, Conklin re-

portedly volunteered to be taken into custody and was transported to Mason County Jail in Shelton in a DOC vehicle.

Conklin made an initial appearance Monday in Mason County Superior Court via video conference from jail. During his hearing, Judge Amber Fin-lay set Conklin’s bond at $5,000 and scheduled him for a Dec. 24 arraign-ment hearing.

Conklin’s criminal history includes

seven juvenile offenses in Mason and Grays Harbor counties. As an adult, Conklin pleaded guilty in October 2015 to drive-by shooting and theft of a firearm stemming from his arrest a month earlier at the same Wyandotte Avenue residence as his most recent arrest. For his 2015 conviction, Conk-lin received 44 months’ confinement and 18 months of DOC-supervised community custody.

Citizen’s commission presents findings

Mason County Citizen’s Budget Advisory Committee vice chair Jim Sims presented the Board of Mason County Commissioners with his group’s findings and recom-mendations during the BOCC’s Tuesday meeting in commis-sion chambers in Shelton.

The budget committee — comprised of County Commis-sioner Terri Drexler, Astrid Pearson, Cheryl Williams, Tamara Ingwaldson and Jeff Carey — viewed presenta-tions from each county elect-ed official and department head and focused its efforts on policy issues, rather than dollar amounts for county-provided services or projects. It concluded that 83 percent of the county’s 2019 budget will be spent on services mandated by state law, and 22 percent of revenue from county property taxes pays directly for county services – 12 percent for roads and 10 percent for additional ex-penses.

The committee presented the county commission with following recommendations:

n Criminal justice and public safety services should receive the highest priority of increased revenue.

n The BOCC should sup-port a citizen-led initiative to pursue a voter-approved multi-year tax levy lid lift to the maximum amount allow-able. The committee also rec-ommends the initiative must clearly specify how additional revenue will be sent.

n Elected officials and department heads should con-tinue to annually review fees for services, increase them as necessary and pursue all avail-able grants and partnerships.

n The BOCC should support and lead a voter-approved Mason County Metropolitan Parks District, recognize the need to fund the construction of a new jail, seek advice on outsourcing prisoners, encourage new, more efficient technology in

the government workplace and implement a policy to limit or restrict the reim-bursement of unused compen-sation, or comp time.

Mason County seeks volunteer for Civil Service Commission

The Board of Mason Coun-ty Commissioners seeks a volunteer to serve a six-year term ending Dec. 31, 2024 on the county’s Civil Service Commission.

The Civil Service Com-mission, which meets at 5 p.m. the third Thursday of each month at the county’s administration building in Shelton, serves to establish a merit system of employ-ment for Mason County Sheriff’s Office employees. Qualified applicants must be a Mason County resident of at least two years and has the right to vote in county elections. Mason County em-ployees, including Sheriff’s Office employees, cannot be appointed. The Board of County Commissioners is ac-

cepting applications through Friday.

Applicants can receive an application at the BOCC of-fice, located at 411 N. Fifth St., Shelton, by calling 360-427-9670, ext. 419, or by visit-ing www.co.mason.wa.us.

Commission sets public hearing on ratings system

The Board of Mason Coun-ty Commissioners recently set a public hearing for 9:30 a.m. Tuesday to consider approval of the proposed Public Benefit Rating System (PBRS).

The PBRS is a complex 11-page document designed to incentivize the preserva-tion of natural features that provide public benefit by cre-ating tax breaks for private property owners based on a point-scale system.

In October, the BOCC remanded a version of the PBRS back to the county’s Planning Advisory Commis-sion (PAC) with suggested edits and clarifications after the document passed through the PAC. During its Nov. 19 meeting, the PAC made minor clerical edits to the version of the Public Benefit Ration System it previously

passed before returning it to the county commission.

The public hearing will be held in commission chambers, located at 411 N. Fifth St., Shelton.

To view the most recent version of the PBRS docu-ment, visit www.co.mason.wa.us. For more information, call 360-427-9670, ext. 419.

Oregon man arraigned on car theft charge

Michael J. Davidson pleaded not guilty during an arraignment hearing Monday in Mason County Superior Court in Shelton to theft of a motor vehicle.

A Mason County Sheriff’s Office probable cause affida-vit accuses the 19-year-old Redmond, Oregon, man of stealing a running and un-occupied 2013 Honda Civic on Nov. 28 in Tacoma and driving it to his mother’s

residence on east North Is-land Drive on Harstine Island to visit her for her birth-day. Court records show Da-vidson was

released the day after his arrest from Mason County Jail in Shelton following his initial court appearance on a promise to appear at the ar-raignment hearing.

On Monday, Judge Am-ber Finlay accepted David-son’s plea and scheduled the remainder of his court appearances to include a Jan. 14 omnibus hearing, a Feb. 12 pretrial manage-ment hearing and a jury trial beginning the week of Feb. 26.

If convicted, Davidson faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and/or a $20,000 fine.

Man pleads guilty to possession of stolen vehicle, heroin charges

Nicholas Kenneth Carr, 32, changed his initial pleas to guilty Monday to charges of possession of a stolen mo-tor vehicle and possession of heroin during a hearing in Mason County Superior Court.

Carr faces a mid-range sentence of between 14 and 18 months in prison for the stolen car charge and six to 18 months for the hero-in charge.

Accord-ing to a Mason County Sher-iff’s Office report, Carr was one of three people discovered by deputies in possession of a stolen motor home. Carr fled the scene after a vehicle pur-suit and was not immediately captured.

Carr was apprehended Nov. 7 in a van in the park-ing lot of the Shelton Safeway store on West Franklin Street after Shelton Police confirmed he had a felony warrant for the stolen motor vehicle charge. The police report states law enforcement dis-covered burnt tinfoil, a baggie and two knives in plain sight in the van.

A search of the van yielded two additional knives con-taining a brown, tar-like substance that field tested

positive for heroin.Judge Amber Finlay ac-

cepted Carr’s pleas Monday and scheduled him for a Dec. 24 sentencing hearing.

Pair arraigned for alleged November robbery

Kenneth Earl McLeod and Katie Rose Allen were arraigned Monday during separate hearings in Mason County Superior Court on charges stemming from an

alleged rob-bery Nov. 21 in Bel-fair.

The 28-year-old McLeod, in custody of Mason County Jail on $25,000 bail, pleaded not guilty sec-ond-degree robbery. Al-len, 27, also appeared in custody of the Shelton detention facility on $2,500 bail.

She pleaded not guilty to first-degree rendering crimi-nal assistance.

Judge Amber Finlay scheduled both for Dec. 24 omnibus hearings, Jan. 14 pretrial management hear-ings and jury trials beginning the week of Jan. 29. If found guilty, McLeod and Allen face up to 10 years in prison and/

or a $20,000 fine.A Mason County Sheriff’s

Office probable cause declara-tion states MACECOM, the county’s 911-call dispatch center, alerted authorities to a report of a robbery at about 9:20 p.m. in the 12000 block of East state Route 106. The reporting party told law en-forcement she saw McLeod take several items out of her truck, including cash and a wallet, without her permis-sion.

When authorities attempt-ed to contact people inside the residence, Allen reportedly answered the door. She re-portedly refused to cooperate with a deputy’s instructions and slammed and dead bolted the door behind her when told she was being arrested on a felony warrant.

The probable cause af-fidavit states authorities got a search warrant of the resi-dence, which was executed with the help of a Sheriff’s Of-fice SWAT team. Authorities reportedly took seven people into custody without further incident, including McLeod and Allen.

Reports state McLeod was belligerent during his book-ing into jail, making verbal threats to one deputy and shouting racial slurs at an-other.

Man pleads not guilty to burglary, firearm theft charges

An 18-year-old Shelton man appeared Monday via

video conference from Mason County Jail and pleaded not guilty to charges of residen-tial burglary and theft of a firearm during his arraign-ment hearing in Mason Coun-ty Superior Court.

Allan Rock Drew Miles faces a maximum penalty of 10 years and/or a $20,000 fine for each of the charges stemming from an alleged

burglary Nov. 27 at a resi-dence in the 5200 block of West Shelton Matlock Road on Shelton. Drew Miles, in custody of Mason County Jail as of Wednesday morning on $10,000 bond, is scheduled for a Dec. 24 omnibus hearing, a Jan. 14 pretrial management hearing and a jury trial be-ginning the week of Jan. 29.

A resident of the home re-portedly told Mason County Sheriff’s Office personnel that a person thought to be Drew Miles was seen at the property earlier in the day. According to a probable cause affidavit, a bedroom door had been kicked open, a safe had been opened with the keys still in the lock, a jar of cash and five firearms were miss-ing. The resident reportedly told deputies the firearms included a 9mm pistol, an AR-15 sport rifle, a .40-caliber pistol, an AK-47 assault rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun.

Drew Miles was reportedly arrested about 9:30 a.m. at the Mudd Bay Park & Ride facility.

and John Hansen; Rachel’s father, Wayne Wenstob; and Kristmas Town Kiwanis. The replacement is stirring up memories for longtime Shel-tonites.

On Tuesday, the Shelton-Mason County Journal posted photos of the new Santa and old Santa on the Facebook page, “Well, you might be from Shelton if …” and asked for comments.

“This Santa is a happy memory for me,” wrote Teri Weaver. “I’d like to see Shel-ton reclaim the ‘Christmas-town, USA’ title. I was recent-ly offended when I saw Leav-enworth using the name.”

“An amazing endeavor that brought back childhood mem-ories for me while forming new memories for my 2- and 4-year-old grandsons,” wrote Peggy Smith. “Outstanding!”

“I was at Hunter’s (Farms) yesterday as well and was surprised to see the old one there, but glad to see it,” wrote Sue Moran Saathoff. “Have missed it for years. The new one is wonderful. A huge undertaking to reproduce and a wonderful job they did. I always called him the town greeter. Sure glad to see him back.”

The first SantaIn 1962, the Shelton-Ma-

son County Chamber of Com-merce was looking to promote the town to visitors coming to the World’s Fair in Seattle. The organization created a Century Village and commis-sioned Beauchamp, a retired Simpson Lumber Co. shop artist, to create a giant San-ta.

Nine years earlier, Beau-champ created the Log Monu-ment at Overlook Park. He painted the sets for the elabo-rate Forest Festival pageant and floats.

Beauchamp designed and built Santa on four 16-foot panels. Santa debuted on the corner of West Railroad Av-enue and First Street, car-rying a bag of local products that included lumber, oysters and a doll’s head; kids could go around back and stick their

faces through the doll’s head for photographs.

The fading Santa was moved to a city garage in 1968, and to state Route 3 on the current site of Tupper

Flooring two years later. In 1983, it was restored again and placed in Post Office Park. Vandals struck, and by 1998 he was missing an arm.

“He had pretty much de-graded and was falling apart,” Rachel Hansen said.

He’s been standing next to a barn at Hunter Farms ever since.

The new SantaRachel Hansen is a free-

lance marketer whose clients include Mason County; she’s lived in Shelton for 18 years. She said she wanted to help revitalize Shelton by bringing back an iconic image from its past.

Hansen visited Hunter Farms in October, but found the plywood on the old Santa degraded. That’s when she ap-proached Kristmas Town Ki-wanis about a new Santa.

The Hansens shot photo-graphs of the old Santa and took measurements. Rachel’s father, an architect in Can-ada, created the scale model replica drawings, which were projected onto plywood for tracing. Hodge Engineering of Gig Harbor engineered the plan so the city would grant a building permit.

The Hansens built Santa in sections in their garage. Painting took four days. They used a drone to see how it laid out.

Santa will be removed in January, and Kristmas Town Kiwanis will store it with the parade items. In the mean-time, the new Santa is rekin-dling past moments.

Myron Cornett recalls mov-ing at age 6 from Sedro-Wool-ley to Shelton when his father accepted a job at the Washing-ton Correction Center.

“I was pretty bummed about moving, leaving behind friends,” he wrote. “The Santa was the first thing we saw en-tering Shelton. It broke the mood and seemed to make things better. Dad held me up to the ladder and Mom snapped Polaroid pictures with my face poking through the view hole. We passed San-ta often and every time I saw him, I was excited about it.”

Sue Freeman Hickson, a lifelong Shelton resident, said the new Santa might be the start of a preservation trend in town.

“So many things that have made Shelton ‘Christ-mas Town USA’ have disap-peared,” she wrote. “So happy to see Santa in all his glory back to greet visitors and residents alike! Let’s keep the heritage momentum going.”

Logging camps close here for indefinite time

The camps of the Simpson Logging Co. closed for the hol-iday vacation Wednesday and the trains yesterday morning brought down the employees from camps 4, 5 and 7. The crowd made a rush for the company office and were soon cashing in their paychecks and taking steamer and stag-es for down Sound points. The employees of camps 1 and 2 are largely family men, many of whom own autos, and they come down in more leisurely fashion to cash up. The log-ging operations have been slackening up for the past two months, first by releas-ing some of the least desired men who were taken on under former necessity, and recently by confining the camp opera-tions to only one side, so there was much less than the usual number of men to come out. At this time the lumber operators have no definite idea of when logging will be resumed, and the shutdown may last two or three months. In meantime some of the old standbys and family men will be kept busy about the camps preparing for future work. Locally there

is not a large supply of logs in the booms, the companies having been fortunate in keep-ing their logs moving. The Simpson camp on the Blakely railroad, which started up two weeks ago, is the only one expected to continue logging after Christmas, their opera-tion being forced by the neces-sity of cutting certain contract timber within a limited time. Up to this time there has been no cut in wages paid in the logging camps, but some reduction is anticipated when the work opens again.

PUD erects more power lines for Mason County

Public Utility District 3 of Mason County is building more lines in the northeast portion of the county to pro-vide power service to about 40 more families, reported PUD Commissioner Vincent Paul. The people in the vicinity of Lake Devereaux between Al-lyn and Belfair have signed for the power service, Mr. Paul said, and linemen will soon start digging holes, erect-ing poles and stringing wire. Another line which will soon

go into service is being strung from the North Shore Road to Tahuya River toward Dewat-to. Power poles are being set this week, and six families in the outlying area will receive electricity. PUD commission-ers have announced that a resolution has been signed to put PUD employees on a state retirement system. The plan is in the formulative stages, and it will be some time before it gets clearance through the state and goes into effect.

Shelton pilot awarded DFC

Major Glenn Getty, son of Mrs. Luey Getty of Shel-ton, was awarded the Dis-tinguished Flying Cross, at formal ceremonies held at the McClellan Air Force Base in Sacramento, California, recently. This outstanding award was presented to him in connection with a flight made last January when he served as a pilot on a four-engine radar plane making a trip between California and Hawaii. During the flight, while the plane was many miles out at sea, one of the motors fell into the water be-low and caused damage to the other engine on the same side. Major Getty however was able

to keep the aircraft in the air and make the trip to an airfield in Hawaii, which was covered with fire proof foam. Despite the great danger in-volved Major Getty was able to make a safe landing with-out damage to the aircraft.

Two cars involved in unique accident

Two cars, both the same model, ended up one on top of the other in separate accidents in the Shorecrest area Mon-day evening. A car driven by Karen Jacobs, 18, Bremerton, was southbound on Shorecrest Drive about 8:20 when it came over a hill, left the roadway to the right, went down a grade, hit a signpost, continued about 70 feet and rolled over on its top in a six-foot ditch. The four people in the car were all uninjured and got out of the vehicle to walk to a nearby residence to get help. About 15 minutes later, a car driven by Jorge Cervantes, 22, USS Kittyhawk, Bremerton, also southbound on Shorecrest Drive, came over the same hill, left the roadway to the right and came to rest on its wheels

on top of the Jacobs vehicle. Cervantes and a passenger suffered minor injuries.

Boeing grant will help Crisis Clinic expand services

Crisis clinic of Thurston and Mason counties announced December 4 that the Employ-ees Community Fund of the Boeing Company has granted the agency over $22,000 to as-sist in the purchase of comput-er equipment. The new system will be in place early next year. “We needed this equipment to take better advantage of our database of over 800 human resources,” said Duane Colyar, executive director of Crisis Clinic. “Our crisis line phone workers will be able to access needed information and refer-ral data smoothly while talk-ing with the client,” he said. “The new equipment will also aid us in putting our informa-tion and referral database on the Internet, available to all at no charge, a dream we have had for some time.”

Commissioners in Shelton to chastise the commission for its intent to purchase the former Olsen Furniture building on West Franklin Street downtown and convert the 22,000-square-foot retail space into a District Court-house.

Following public testimony, which was heated enough to produce a threat to recall the sitting commissioners next year, the commission unani-mously approved the final purchase agreement.

“I believe this is about the 10th or so time that we’ve had a public meeting about this very issue between our briefings and the public com-ment that we’ve received here,” said Commissioner Kevin Shutty just prior to the purchase’s approval. “It would be a gross mischar-acterization of it to suggest that we haven’t taken public comment on this or that we haven’t received public opin-ion — we’ve received public opinion from roughly three people at those meetings. Now, I’m not saying that’s in-dicative of the general public or not, but that’s just kind of how this has gone.

“And typically, it’s not a good year or a complete year until I’ve been threatened with recall at least once, so I appreciate being able to get that in under the wire here in 2018.”

As part of a lengthy action agenda for the day’s regu-lar commission meeting, the BOCC was set to approve the purchase of the building for $825,000 plus closing costs with a 25 percent down pay-ment and monthly install-ments at a 4.5 percent inter-est rate for five years, paid from the county’s Real Estate Excise Tax 1 (REET 1) fund. The item was removed from the action agenda for public testimony, further commis-sioner consideration and de-liberation.

The Olsen family, no rela-tion to Mike Olsen, shuttered the store this summer after 82 years in business. The county moved toward buying the building in late summer in hopes of moving District Court, currently housed in the nearly 100-year-old Mason County Superior Courthouse, to updated facilities.

Originally, the county in-tended to buy the retail space for $875,000 and a warehouse on the grounds for an addi-tional $200,000. After back-ing away from the warehouse purchase, the sellers upped the price of the retail space to $900,000.

On Tuesday, Frank Pinter, county support services di-rector, told the commission the final $825,000 purchase price was agreed upon pend-ing BOCC approval after an inspection revealed the building’s roof needed re-pair. County officials say the

building will require signifi-cant renovation and improve-ments to convert it to a court space.

Davis, Olsen and Burke took to the podium to voice disapproval prior to the final vote.

Davis began by telling the commission that briefing ma-terials about the purchase were out of date, thus failing to provide adequate public disclosure on the subject.

“That’s my point, you have to include the public in this process if you want to get some alignment or support from the public for what you’re do-ing,” Davis told the commis-sion. “Like I said before, we’re reasonable people, and I dis-agree with what you’re doing here, but when the inevita-bility presents itself, we look for ‘OK, how do we make this work?’ In other words, no one wants to see it fail, we want to see it work.”

Olsen argued the county should be looking to upgrade its aging detention facility, rather than its courtrooms.

“I don’t understand why you continue to put money into a situation that’s clear-ly not going to be affected by this,” Olsen said. “And my point is that I don’t think people care about the court-rooms. The small amount of time each person spends in there, I don’t think they care that they’re crowded. I think what they want is in-carceration, and this moves us not anywhere towards that.”

Burke, unsatisfied with the purchase process, told the commission sitting com-missioners Shutty and Randy Neatherlin deserved to be re-called for approving the build-ing purchase.

“It’s certainly going to cause harm to the taxpayers because you can’t tell us what

it’s going to cost when it’s all finished,” Burke said. “You can’t show us what it’s going to be when it’s all finished, so how do we get behind you when you do this? And I’ll be right honest with you people, I think if you approve this — and Ms. Drexler there, she’ll be out of the picture next month — but I think you two (Shutty and Neatherlin) need to be hauled up on a recall.”

Shutty responded before the vote, stating he welcomes criticism in the future if the project far exceeds financial forecasts.

“This I think has been much ado about nothing,” Shutty said. “This is a good investment for the county, for its taxpayers, and frankly, it’s a $1 million-plus investment in downtown Shelton. And so, if I’m wrong, I will be judged on this decision. But that’s part of the job, comes with the territory.”

“I’m tremendously excited, and I can’t wait to get started,” Niten said in a phone interview with the Shelton-Mason County Journal.

Working as a city manager “is something I’ve always wanted to do,” Niten said. “I’m glad I get to do it in a beautiful part of the state.”

Shelton Mayor Bob Rogers said he is impressed by Niten’s experi-ence with a growing Washington city.

“He was excited for the opportu-nity to come here,” he said.

The Alaska native began his gov-ernment career as an intern with the Southern Nevada Water Au-thority while earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. He then worked as a pro-fessional planner in Clark County, Nevada.

Last week, Niten told the crowd at an open house that when he started out as a planner in Nevada in the 1990s, “the growth was explo-sive — it was going crazy.” That’s when he realized he didn’t want to live or work there.

For the past 15 years, Niten has held planning positions in Oregon and Washington.

Niten has been married to Rachel Niten for 11 years and has three children: 26-year-old Cory, 16-year-old Hunter and 9-year-old Madison. He said he plans to rent an apart-ment until he and Rachel have time to find a house. He enjoys golfing, racquetball, motorcycling and root-ing for the Seattle Seahawks.

The city manager position be-came opened when Ryan Wheaton announced on Jan. 18 that he was resigning his position of 1 1/2 years. Since then, three people have filled the position on an interim basis; former Shelton City Manager Mike McCarty is currently filling the post.

Grant benefits Union River salmon growth

STAFF [email protected]

The Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group received a $102,497 state grant to monitor fresh-water chum salmon and steelhead abundance, sur-vival rates and migratory behavior on the Union River in North Mason County.

On Monday, the Washington Salmon Recovery Funding Board announced the award of almost $18 million in grants for projects to restore salmon habitat to keep the species from becoming extinct. About 75 percent of the funded project will ben-efit Chinook salmon, which make up much of the southern resident orca whale’s diet.

The state also funded two other salmon projects in Mason County.

Hood Canal Salmon Enhancement Group receives more than $100,000

North Mason Cancer Crusaders embrace season of givingBy Dana [email protected]

A small volunteer group is showing just how big a difference it can make.

Eleven members of the North Ma-son Cancer Crusaders traveled Dec. 7 to Seattle, where they met with staff from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The group learned

about some of the latest innovations in treating the disease, and made a do-nation of $14,000, bringing its grand total since its inception to $152,000.

The group formed in 2005 and now operates as a 501(c)(3), raising money for cancer research at North Mason events.

Crusaders President Rodger DeBritz and Vice President Linda Casteel said in an interview with the Belfair Herald their continued efforts to help advance cancer research are spurred on not only by their hopes for a brighter future, but also by the strong support of the North Mason community.

Casteel took up her role with the group about six years ago, seeking a way to take action against an afflic-tion that rapidly began affecting more people in her life. That afternoon, sit-ting in a coffee shop in Belfair, she was waiting to hear news from her sister-in-law’s surgery to remove cancerous cells.

“Cancer affected a lot of my family and friends,” she said.

With his wife, Shelly, DeBritz works to raise funds for their annual contribution to the research center. He shared a similar story of cancer touch-ing many relatives, and is a survivor of colon and prostate cancers.

DeBritz was first diagnosed in 1999, the same year Mason County hosted its first Relay for Life. The event of-fered an avenue for getting involved in fighting cancer, DeBritz said, and he participated for several years before taking on a larger role with the Cru-saders.

Casteel and DeBritz take pride in knowing the locally based Fred Hutchinson Research Center uses more than 80 percent of donated funds directly for research.

“Our [donation] helps fund the or-phan research that kind of needs a shot to see how well they’re doing,” De-Britz said. “Then if it looks promising, they go for big grants.”

$470,902 grant to add tree root wads and logs to two miles of the Skokomish River. The Squaxin Island Tribe will use a $210,557 grant to buy and preserve 649 acres and 8.4 miles of the Skookum Creek in Skookum Valley.

Chum salmon and steelhead trout, both listed as threatened with extinction under the federal Endan-gered Species Act, use the Union River, which flows into Hood Canal alongside the Mary E. Theler Wet-lands in Belfair.

The project will use a rotary screw trap, or moni-toring structure, to capture out-migrating fish. More data on young salmon productivity is needed to spur summer chum recovery in Hood Canal, the state re-ports.

The Union River project will include DNA data collection at young salmon trapping locations. In a matching measure, the enhancement group will con-tribute $87,643 via a state grant and donations of labor.

The Squaxin Island Tribe will buy and preserve 68 percent of the side channels and 77 percent of Skookum Creek. The project will protect habitat for steelhead, Coho salmon, chum salmon and cutthroat trout.

By adding tree root wads and logs to two miles of the Skokomish River, Mason Conservation District will create places for fish to rest, feed and hide from predators. They also slow the river, which reduces erosion and allows small rocks to settle in the river-bed, creating areas for salmon to spawn.

The Skokomish River is used by Chinook and chum salmon and steelhead trout, which are all list-ed as threatened with extinction under the federal Endangered Species Act, and Coho salmon, which are listed as a federal species of concern.

The state Salmon Recovery Funding Board awarded grants to organizations for 95 projects in 30 of the state’s 39 counties. Grant recipients will use the money to increase the types and amount

of salmon habitat, remove barriers that prevent salmon from migrating, conserve pristine areas, and replant riverbanks to increase places for salmon to spawn, feed, rest, hide from predators and transition from freshwater and back again.

Since the creation of the Salmon Recovery Fund-ing Board in 1999, it has awarded more than $700 million in state and federal funds to more than 2,650 projects throughout the state. With matching funds

provided by grant recipients, the amount invested in the projects is $987 million.

“This funding helps protect one of our most be-loved legacies,” Gov. Jay Inslee stated in a news release. “Together we’re taking a step forward for salmon, and in turn dwindling southern resident orca whales, while also looking back to ensure we’re preserving historic tribal cultural traditions and up-holding promises made more than a century ago.”

The Crusaders’ recent voyage encompassed a full day of giving back to communities. Members met with researchers at the center and heard from event coordinator Kendall Gamble about new research into dormant cancer clusters. After celebrating the donation, some members spread holiday cheer with carols sung from the research center’s arboretum.

But the festive humanitarian outreach didn’t stop there. Wearing a fuzzy white-and-red cap, Casteel and other members took to the streets of Seattle with 150 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to share with those who needed them.

The group takes on the cost of supplies and orga-nizing events on its own, making sure 100 percent of community donations go to the research center.

One of the Crusaders’ biggest annual events is the Jail and Bail fundraiser in September, dur-ing which community members are “arrested” and have to get enough money to bail themselves out beyond the bars. Casteel said she is always struck by how high-energy and fun the day-long event gets.

Members also host a booth at the Taste of Hood Canal in Belfair, selling metal art and educating community members on the importance of getting regular check-ups. Fundraising is a main compo-nent of the Crusaders’ activities, but DeBritz said it is also critical to tackle subjects head on that may be challenging to discuss.

In the March 4, 1999 issue of the Herald, then-Sand Hill Elementary School Principal DeBritz said, “If there is any doubt, see your doctor and get it checked out.” That’s a message he continues to spread to this day.

Especially as a survivor, DeBritz said he appreci-ates working with people passionate about a com-mon cause. Members come for the cause but stay for the camaraderie, and he said new members are al-ways welcome.

It was challenging for the Crusaders to make their first trip since former deputy John Wiechert died of lung cancer. Wiechert was with the group since the early days of Jail and Bail.

“He just loved the synergy that we had when we were out there,” he said. “He would be the driver, coming in with his bobby hat, and Linda was a troop-

er doing the arresting, and I was the sheriff that put them in jail. It was so much fun with John.”

“He will be missed,” Casteel added, and DeBritz agreed.

“When we went to Fred Hutch this year, John wasn’t with us, and he loved to go,” he said, remi-niscing on their shared experiences over the years.

Still, the group carries on.“Cancer hits everybody,” DeBritz said. “One per-

son asked if once we hit $100,000 we were going to quit. No. We’re not going to quit, unless we’re not able to do it. And then we’ll pass the gauntlet on to somebody else.”

Those interested in joining the group or donating can contact the president at 360-710-9914.

Dennis Abeyta readily points out that the business of selling cars gets a bad reputation.

“And some of it is de-served,” Abeyta said. “But it doesn’t have to be that way.”

Driven by a philosophy of straightforwardly offering a variety of cars suitable for all customers and letting them shop without pressure, he aims to make the experience more enjoyable for Belfair cus-tomers.

Owners Abeyta and Ron Noyes recently opened Value Motors at 23771 state Route 3, where Crown Motors first opened in 1996.

“The way we operate here, people buy cars from us — we don’t sell them,” he said. “The difference is, when they come here, they can just look around. There isn’t going to be anybody following them around. If they want to drive them, they can go drive them. If they want to take it to their garage, they can go have it

checked out. We just try to give them the best value for their money.”

During the business’ first months of operation, Abeyta said staff members focused on giving the property a fresh look, which community mem-bers are enjoying.

“It’s a really nice communi-ty,” Abeyta said. “The people are wonderful.”

The staff brings 100 com-bined years of experience in the automotive industry.

With 38 years’ experience to his name, Abeyta said he appreciates how every day brings something new.

About eight years ago, Abeyta owned Affordable Used Cars & Trucks in Bremerton, which he bought from his now-business partner, Noyes.

Abeyta began his career in the auto industry at a Chevrolet dealership in Lynnwood after responding to a job listing the newspaper.

“They taught us really well, and gave us a good foundation for how to deal with the car business,” he said.

Those lessons in directness and value stuck with him.

For Abeyta, “Value Mo-tors” isn’t just a name. He still remembers his first car — a 1953 Pontiac Chieftain that he bought for $5.

Value Motors’ prices don’t go quite that low. The lot typi-cally carries about 40 vehicles priced anywhere from $15,000 to $500, including trucks, SUVs and more.

“We have a car for every-body,” he said.

Abeyta encourages any-one who hasn’t seen the new building yet to stop by for a visit.

The shop is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays. For more information, call 360-277-3028 or visit www.valuemotorswa.com.

Down and out for the count



Thursday, Dec. 12, 1940A cold wind in the morn-

ing. I had my hair done and then in the evening went to Chapter with the Ritzens, and Sam went to the golden wedding anniversary of Inward Sunde and said there were about five hundred people there. He gave them the gold swan that I had bought for a Christ-mas gift. We had a very small meeting and practiced for the funeral services on Saturday for Nor-man Churchill. Home late and to bed.

Friday, Dec. 13, 1940Another cold day and we

were not too busy. Billy Hyde worked today so Sam slept in and had a good rest. In the afternoon I went to the beach and cleaned out the bottom of the cupboards and they look very nice. Now all that remains to do is get the tree and trim it. I would like a large one in the corner by the fireplace if possible. Had a card from Jean and sent for three books for Mrs. Harris. Also a letter from Annie ask-ing us to dinner on Christmas and I wrote “Yes.” A card came from Mrs. Peterson and said the Arachne Weavers would not meet this month for Mrs. Berry is ill with the flu and can maybe only get up in time for Christmas. Ruth

and some of the kids missed the bus and so I shall have to tell her that we must curtail some of her activities if she

cannot make the bus. If she wants to go to the game and asks me if it is OK, but not like this. Will hear all the sto-ry when she comes home. Very cold out and Billy built the fire in the old school-house and we will have another meet-ing of the improve-

ment club. If we cannot get a new president, I shall move that we disband and give the money to the Red Cross. At the Improvement Club meet-ing, we elected Pink Williams president and Ruddy vice president. Then elected Mr. Ritzen secretary-treasurer. Sam showed him pictures and we had a nice evening.

Saturday, Dec. 14, 1940A very cold day and in

the morning Sam went to Allyn and did some hunting for it was the last day of the season. He said he ate pig sausages and enjoyed them. He brought home no ducks for he gave them away. Then I went to Bremerton and at-tended the service of Norman Churchill. The officers had to do the regular funeral service for their departed brother and I was glad when it was over. We are all jittery and did not do as well as we would have

liked to. All the girls were glad to be through and go home. Back to the store and went to my dad’s and found he wanted some groceries. So Sam and Leonard should go up there and visit with him before coming home. Louie Curl is here and is Barbara Nichols if Jack Collins does not come up. Had a letter from Almeda Hayton and she is coming down Christmas so we will see her.

Sunday, Dec. 15, 1940This was a cold day and

Doug came down before we were dressed and said the ice at Lighters Lake was ready for skating. Then he made us some hotcakes that were fit for a king and the men sat around all day and talked. In the late afternoon, we went after the Christmas tree and then in the evening after we all had dinner together we went skating at the lake, and did we have fun. Doug and Annie went home early and so Sam went to the store for our car and tried to get Pink

on the phone, but he could not come. Had company. Home very late and to bed. Ruth went to see her sister at Saint Mary’s school with Louie Curl and came home about the time we hard din-ner over.

Monday, Dec. 16, 1940Sam went to Seattle with

the big truck and we did the washing and it was all dry when I came down in the afternoon to get it. In the evening we went to the lake again and this time had a wiener roast. Katie Foster, Tom, Kay, Sam, Ruth, Bill and I were there besides Jean Klumb and her dad. We had a fine time. The moon came out and it was wonderful skat-ing around on the ice. But it was so cold that we had to go around to the fire every once in awhile. Home late and to bed.

Tuesday, Dec. 17, 1940This was a cold wet day

and in the afternoon, Eunice and I went to Social Club

and we had a good time. We exchanged gifts and had a dessert luncheon. In the eve-ning Dorothy Casebeer and her husband were out and saw the movies and we spent a lovely evening together. To bed very late. The mail is starting to get heavy. Mailed the tree and package to the Kents.

Wednesday, Dec. 18, 1940Another cold day and in

the morning I wrapped up some more gifts and mailed out and then worked in the store all day. Then in the eve-ning Ruth and I went to the Christmas party that Olym-pic Chapter gave and had a fine time. We took Eunice and her children and the Ames home. There was a children’s program and lots of laughing. Mrs. Ritzen won the Cedar Chest that the ladies club raffled off and I was glad to know that someone from here got it. She was all excited over it. Mailed out Mother’s and Sam’s mother’s gift and sent out the State of Wash-ington cards to my friends.

Port looks at cost of fixing oyster houseBy Dana [email protected]

During a Port of Allyn meeting Dec. 3 in the port meeting room, commis-sioners looked into preliminary cost estimates for renovating the Sargent Oyster House.

Commissioner Scott Cooper said he wasn’t surprised at the $700,000 initial estimate from Art Anderson Associates (AAA) given the work that would need to be done.

AAA broke the project down into four stages. The first would be to sta-bilize the house before it is moved to its permanent overwater location on

Case Inlet. This would include lifting and demolishing the building’s lower walls and floor structure, rebuilding with new materials and bracing the structure so it can withstand the move and seismic activity. The estimated subtotal was $150,735.

Next was moving the building to the pier and anchoring the structure. The budget also included adding exte-rior and interior insulation, concrete siding, cedar shake roofing and wood windows, for a subtotal of $111,520.

Stage three covers demolishing the existing pier and constructing a 40-foot-by-50-foot public pier with space for the oyster house at $412,563.

To complete the project, the esti-mate included $37,442 for interior renovations, to be done by North Bay Historical Society members.

Port commissioner Judy Scott said some of the work included in the bud-get likely could be done with volunteer labor.

Scott said she and other volunteers recently boarded up the interior for now, until the port learns more about what state funding might be available.

“At least it’s secure for the winter,” Scott said.

Commissioners also voted for Coo-per to replace Ted Jackson as chair in 2019.

The next port meeting begins at 6 p.m. Jan. 7 in the meeting room at 18560 E. state Route 3, Allyn.

SARGENT OYSTER HOUSE RESTORATION COST:Pre-move stabilization: $150,735Structure relocation: $111,520Pier demolition/rebuild: $412,563Interior restoration: $37,442 Total: $712,260

SPORTSSPORTSThursday, Dec 13, 2018 - Shelton-Mason County Journal - Page B-1

There’s often a fine line between good-natured humor and stinging jokes that come at the expense of others.

Over here at the Hot Corner, we like to tread lightly upon that fine line without stepping over it. Sometimes we fail and go just a little bit too far, and that’s usually when the subject is a profes-sional sport franchise from the Boston area — see Patriots and Red Sox.

Alas, dear readers, your Hot Corner columnist is but a mere human being, imperfect by nature, just like the rest of us. Though my intentions are to keep my jokes from offending anyone, when not self-depreciat-ing, my sense of humor has been known to rub others the wrong way. So it’s with great trepida-tion that I present the 2018 Mikey Awards.

Both hardcore fans of this column (thanks, Mom and Dad) will remember last year’s inaugural Mikey Awards, in which I bestowed tongue-in-cheek recognition to those who earned outstanding achievement in the field of whatever came to my mind.

Though not much could be considered more dan-gerous than a return trip to the inner workings of my mind, buckle up, because here we go …

The I Can’t Believe I Miss Jon Gruden award goes to ESPN

Just about the only thing more nauseating than the all-action green uniforms the Seattle Seahawks wore in their Monday Night Football victory over the Minnesota Vikings or the Vikings’ truly offen-sive performance on offense was the audio from the announcer’s booth.

After Jon Gruden left the ESPN to reassume head coaching duties for the Oakland Raiders, the brilliant minds at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut, decided to pair recently-retired future Hall-of-Fame tight end Jason Witten with Joe Tes-sitore for Monday Night Football play-by-play and color commentary.

Though ESPN added Booger McFarland, former defensive tackle on Super Bowl champion teams in Tampa Bay and Indianapolis, to add insight from a moving chair stationed above a sideline, there’s no saving Tessitore and Witten. More specifically, there’s no saving Witten.

Week after it week, Witten falls flat on his face with limited insight that’s often poorly articulated, which is easy for me to write from the comfort of my keyboard. But there’s a good reason Witten had no speaking role in the one nationally-run televi-sion commercial I remember him starring in — I’m pretty sure it was for an insurance company — and now the world knows it.

Regardless, I like Tessitore and McFarland, but even Vin Scully, Jack Buck (Joe Buck’s father, look him up) and Ernie Harwell couldn’t save a broad-cast that features Witten.

As for those all-action green uniforms? I believe that color should be reserved for tennis balls, cross-ing guards, sports drinks and cleaning solvent.

The Oops I Did It Again award goes to Major League Baseball

Hall-of-Fame wide receiver Cris Carter coined the phrase “C’mon man” during his tenure as an ESPN football analyst. Carter often used to shout,

Presenting the 2018 Mikey Awards

THE HOT CORNER

By MICHAEL HEINBACH

see CORNER, page B-4


The Shelton High School boys basketball team received a strong performance from senior forward Casey Badillo-Brown and made some late defensive stops Dec. 7 to earn a 63-61 victory at Yelm High School in a 3A South Sound Conference matchup.

Badillo-Brown tallied a team-

best 16 points for the High-climbers, who improved to 2-0 in league play and 4-0 overall. They traveled Wednesday to league-foe Gig Harbor. Those re-sults were unavailable as of the Shelton-Mason County Journal’s print deadline.

Shelton head coach Derrick Pringle wrote in an email that the Climbers struggled early with attention to detail, but got good looks at the basket that didn’t fall. Despite that, Shelton took a 29-26 advantage into half-time.

The Tornados got hot from

long distance in the second half and cut their deficit to 44-43 at the end of the third quarter.

But Pringle said the High-climbers salted away their fourth win in as many tries with strong defense down the stretch that created turnovers.

“The lead went back and forth, and in the last 48 seconds, our defense, which we pride our-selves on, forced some turnovers, which resulted in made baskets and key free throws by Zack Jonker and Jason Kenyon Jr.,”

It’s hard to do group tours in the national forest. If you’re leading an older age group, you must con-

cern yourself with individual levels of ability; an easy one-mile hike for Tourist Mandy might translate into a hellish ordeal for Tourist Andy.

Disparity in ability is not limited to older adults, either.

The Ranger Hole and Murhut Falls trails (both in the Duckabush Recre-ation Area) are two perfect examples of how one person’s “moderate” is an-other person’s “difficult.”

There is a slight rise for the first two-thirds of the one-mile Murhut Falls Trail. For people who do not take stairs or walk much on a daily basis, this low-moderate grade can prove challeng-ing, especially if they must keep pace with fit companions.

Ranger Hole, also a mile long, has one short climb at the beginning, but ends with a very steep descent at the trail’s terminus. The climb back out can be very daunting for folks not fa-miliar with hiking up steep hillsides.

Last summer, as I was climbing up and out of Ranger Hole, I came upon a pair of women in their 60s, both of whom were standing at the top of the hill, watching me.

Feeling a little winded myself, I was happy to pause and answer their

questions about the Hole and what-ever else waited as their reward for venturing further.

One thing they wanted to know was how I rated the climb back out. Was it tough? Was it slippery? Was it much longer than they could see from where they were standing?

“No, this is it. Short but steep,” was how I described it.

“Better than switchbacks,” said one. “I hate switchbacks.”

“They’re not so bad,” said her com-panion.

“Yes they are,” replied the first. “Lena Lake has 22 switchbacks.”

“Really?” I said.

“Counted every one,” she replied.

SWITCHBACK FLASHBACKAt that precise moment, I recalled

my first attempt at making Lena Lake. I was about 39 years old and very out of shape. I still smoked Marl-boro menthols. The most climbing I did was to step in and out of my car, and to occasionally hoist myself atop a stool at my local coffee shop.

I joined up with an Olympia-based singles group for a day hike that June to Lena Lake. I think I was the oldest. I certainly wasn’t the fittest. By the fifth switchback, I noticed one other guy dropping back, puff-breathing with his eyes big and bulging. A young woman, too, looked to be strug-gling. She was sucking up air and lag-ging behind.

By the 12th switchback the dif-ference in our conditioning was ex-pressed by the widening gap between those in the lead, and those poor suckers, like me, coming to a full stop with our heads down and hands on our knees.

We were being passed by other hikers from behind, as well as happy, very fast hikers returning downhill from the lake.

I was embarrassed to be so out of shape. I went into a full crouch to grab some air, and as other hik-ers overtook us, I reached out and touched a nearby fern, pretending to be studying it, and found myself mumbling some pseudo-scientific jar-gon as the hikers passed.

“This species is common to temper-ate rainforests. Blah-de-blah.”

My fellow unfit ones went along with the ruse. Totally gassed but de-siring dignity, we all pretended to be very interested in tiny things on the forest floor. Sure, we were flunking our physicals, but we did such a good job of faking it that a couple of times other hikers stopped to see what was so darn interesting.

SIGNS OF DECLINEI told this story to the two women

at the top of the hill. I wished them luck and said they’d be fine.

Now here’s the full circle coming round again: I am 62 and declining rapidly in stamina. While I enjoyed a golden era of hiking the Olympics from my mid-40s through my 50s, this last year, in particular, has been a killer.

Three weeks ago, I had to give up on a splendid chance to finally visit Kennedy Creek Falls. Somewhere around two miles in, after a long stretch of steady grade, my ham-strings seized up, accompanied by a painful tightening in my lower back.

Linda wanted to soldier on, but I was in steady, persistent pain. Thank God it was warm and sunny, for I found myself lying flat on my back in the middle of a logging road, feel-ing the pokes of each and every stone beneath me, yet preferring my stone mattress to the prospects of walking again.

I stayed like that for a good 20 minutes.

Two days and two chiropractic vis-its later, I got a stern warning from my back cracker to start stretching out my hamstrings every day.

“They’re pulling you out of align-ment — that and the extra weight you’re carrying.”

WEIGHTY MATTERWell, that’s been the elephant

in the room all along. I have an elephant-sized stomach attached to a six-foot man’s frame.

Weight at high school senior year: 165 pounds. Weight throughout my 30s: 185 pounds. Weight the last time I regarded myself as remotely attrac-tive: 195 pounds.

Weight as I got on the scale last week: 260 pounds.

We can go on and on, describing what it’s like to enter the diabetes doorway, but I don’t think you want me to, or need me to. Nor do I want to turn a fairly good outdoors column into a self-referential series of confes-sions or long rants on the state of my health.

I want to get a second chance at Kennedy Creek Falls. And a first at Snow Lake, Flapjack Lakes, and a few others. I want to hike the Enchanted Valley, and most of all, to share it with my readers.

I just need to be honest about the issues I face.

I always thought I would glide into aging gracefully. Guess what? It’s not going to be that easy.

From now on at the end of each col-umn, I will put a number just before signing off. It will be the number of my current weight.

FAT CHANCEI’m going to try some new ways of

eating. Mainly not so often and not so much. If I come across any unique, great ways to beat this thing, I’ll let you know.

Meanwhile, here’s a pair of ham-string stretchers. The deep squat, depicted in the photo, is a great “hip opener” too. Whenever you feel ham-string, lower back, or leg-tightening pain, grab any solid object and dip slowly down. Keep your back straight or bend and straighten, alternatively. Try to rest your haunches on the ground. You should feel the tension radiate, then lessen, in your hips. Meanwhile, your hamstrings will get a rest.

Next, come up and step back from your solid object. In the office, a chair back will work.

Now, bend over while keeping your legs as straight as possible. Don’t force your knees to lock, but be work-ing towards a full, deep hamstring stretch, gradually — and hopefully — arriving at the point you can let go of your support and touch your toes.

SCOREBOARD


The Peninsula High School boys swimming and diving team posted a 104-68 victory over Shelton in a 3A South Sound Conference dual Dec. 4 at the Shelton High School Pool.

The Highclimbers dropped to 0-2 in league and overall pending their nonconference dual Tuesday at Lakes High School. Those results were un-available as of the Shelton-Ma-son County Journal’s deadline.

Against the Seahawks, Shelton posted two individual

victories — both courtesy of junior Tyler Youngquist — and a pair of relay wins.

Youngquist won the 100-yard butterfly, clocking in at one minute, 3.93 seconds. He added a victory in the 100 breaststroke, finishing in 1:15.18.

The Climbers scored a win in the 200-medley relay be-hind Scion Matheny, Austin Karr, Youngquist and Nate Ostheller. They swam to a 2:01.65 finish to edge Penin-sula by 0.32 seconds.

The Shelton team of Karr, Matheny, Sam Morson and

Youngquist powered its way to victory in the 400-freestyle relay in 3:58.84.

Senior Landon Bullock earned individual wins for the Seahawks in the 200- and 500-freestyle events and swam a leg of Peninsula’s win-ning 200-freestyle relay team.

Port Angeles slips past North Mason

The North Mason High School boys wrestling team gutted out a 39-39 draw with 2A Olympic League-foe Port Angeles on Dec. 4 at the Roughriders’ gym. However, Roughriders head coach Rob Gale told the Peninsula Daily News that Port Angeles won the match by a score of 40-39 by tiebreaker point when Roughriders 126-pound wrestler Dan-iel Basden scored the first points in the final match of the dual.

Bulldog senior Wylee Rice earned the quickest pin of the dual and was one of three North Mason grapplers to post victories by first-period pin.

In the 285-pound match, Rice needed just 12 second to pin Leslie Worthy. Thomas Francisco-Juan re-corded a pin for the Bulldogs in 1:27 over Gavin DeBore. North Mason also received a first-period pin from

160-pound wrestler Cole Varick. He won his match in 1:25 over Seth Mann.

Juan Pedro-Alanzo earned a win for the Bulldogs with a pin of Zach Gavin with eight seconds left in the 138-pound match. At 132, North Ma-son’s Domingo Pedro-Gaspar took a 9-3 decision over Adam Borde.

Basden pinned Miguel Jesus-Miguel in 49 seconds in the match that determined the winner of the dual.

North Mason boys win 2 of 3

After losing its intra-county matchup again Shelton last month, the North Mason boys basketball team had won two of its past three games before heading into a matchup against Kingston.

The Bulldogs were slated to take on the Buccaneers in an Olympic

2A/1A League matchup Tuesday at home. Results from the game were unavailable as the contest ended after the Shelton-Mason County Journal’s deadline.

Olympic defeated North Mason 61-48 in league play Dec. 5. The loss came after the Bulldogs handled their business on the road, toppling Chima-cum, 73-42, on Dec. 3 and Crosspoint Academy, 65-56, on Dec. 1.

North Mason is 3-3 overall, 2-1 in league play.

Shelton girls split pair of conference games

The Shelton girls basketball team split a pair of 3A South Sound Confer-ence games last week, topping Yelm and falling to Peninsula.

The home team Climbers took an

early lead against the Tornadoes, and handed their opponent a 63-51 loss Dec. 7. Shelton jumped out to a 21-5 advantage after the first quarter and never looked back.

Kylind Powell led the way for Shel-ton with 18 points, 13 rebounds, four assists and six steals. Abby Zaniewski added 12 pounds and three rebounds, while Jordyn Peterson contributed 10 points, three rebounds, three steals and two blocks.

On Dec. 6, Peninsula outscored the Climbers 26-5 in the third quarter to take a commanding lead into the final stanza.

The Seahawks ended up with a 69-48 victory at home.

Powell again paced the Climbers with 14 points, four rebounds and three assists. Taya Gouley added 12 points, three rebounds and two steals.

Shelton travels to Timberline on Friday to take on the Blazers.

“C’mon man!” during a high-light in which a player made a boneheaded gaffe, such as forgetting a coverage as an opposing offensive player scores untouched.

I think Major League Baseball deserves a Carter-esque “C’mon man” for con-tinuing the divide between the large-market, big-spend-ing teams and the rest of the league.

Take a look at what the Seattle Mariners are forcing upon their fans — a gutting the team of current stars and their above-average salaries in favor of young, cheap and unproven Major League tal-ent. The M’s No. 1 starting pitcher from 2018, James Paxton, is now sporting New

York Yankee pinstripes. For-mer Mariners All-Star closer Edwin Diaz now wears the blue and orange of the New York Mets. The M’s most reliable hitter of the past two seasons, shortstop Jean Segura, now waves his bat in Philadelphia.

Until MLB figures out how to level the playing field between teams with high rev-enue and those who annually earn significantly less, expect to see more titles from Bos-ton, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and the like before we see another World Series champion from somewhere such as Kansas City.

The John McEnroe “You Can’t Be Serious” award goes to me

Just a few weeks ago, I

wrote about the new, high-scoring NFL. You know, the NFL where rule changes in fa-vor of player safety made play-ing physical defense a thing of the past as teams raked up points like miles on a postal carrier’s truck in December? In the words of ESPN college football analyst Lee Corso, “Not so fast, my friends.”

The ink had barely dried on the Nov. 29 edition of the Shelton-Mason County Journal when that evening’s Thursday Night Football telecast featured a 13-10 Dallas Cowboys’ victory over the New Orleans Saints. The Saints entered averaging 33.18 points per game and had totaled 45, 51, 48 and 31 points respectively in the four games leading up to their Thursday night encounter.

They were rolling, at least until that day’s Hot Corner reached newsstands.

On Monday night in Se-attle, the Vikings and Se-ahawks played 57 minutes without a either team scoring a touchdown. The Seahawks won despite quarterback Russell Wilson completing a grand total of 10-of-20 pass attempts for 72 yards for a less-than-staggering 3.6 yards per completion. His worst moment as a pro came during a late-first half inter-ception that would’ve gotten most middle-school quarter-backs benched. But I digress.

To NFL fans who enjoyed the high-potency offenses of the first 10 weeks of the NFL season, I’m truly sorry. I can’t help but think my column from two weeks back played some

minute part in jinxing the in-flux of scoring. Well, that and it’s December, which means the weather isn’t conducive to throwing 60-yard go routes away from a domed stadium.

There’s a lesson here. Don’t take what you read in the Hot Corner or hear from sports media pundits else-where too seriously. We’re all just sports fans, maybe like you, who won’t really ever know in advance how it’s all going to go down.

That, my friends, is why they play the games.

Shelton High School bowling coach Dann Gagnon spent much of the afternoon Dec. 6 at West-side Lanes in Olympia with his arms folded across his chest.

Gagnon watched intently, and maybe even a little nervous-ly as the Highclimbers started strong, then earned a win in the final game of the day to forge a 3-2 defeat of Yelm in 3A South Sound Conference play.

Though the teams split the two standard matches and two Baker games, Shelton earned the win in the final match of the day — the second Baker game — by 35 pins to earn the pin-total victory, 1,839-1,794. In a Baker game, each bowler on a five-person team bowls two frames to post a collective team pin total.

The win solidified Shelton’s grip on second place in the league standings with a 7-2 mark in conference and overall. Yelm slipped to 5-4, 5-4 after Shelton avenged a 5-0 sweep Nov. 8 at the hands of the Tor-nados.

The Highclimbers remained a match back of league-leading North Thurston (8-1, 8-1) and

one up on Timberline (6-3, 6-3) in the standings entering Shel-ton’s league match Tuesday against Gig Harbor (1-8, 1-8). Those results were unavailable as of the Shelton-Mason County Journal’s deadline.

After watching his team best the Tornados, Gagnon said the key to victory was the High-climbers’ ability to adjust to changing conditions through-out the afternoon.

“We came out very strong, we bowled an all-time high the first game, but both teams struggled I thought in the sec-ond game, even Yelm,” Gagnon said. “Keep in mind that lane conditions change while you bowl, and if you don’t adjust enough you’re in trouble.”

Shelton senior Courtney Chamberlin paved the way for the Climbers’ strong showing out of the gate with an 853-776 victory in the first game. Cham-berlin bowled a team-high 181 while senior Kaylee Slone and junior Deannn Merriman bowled matching 180s. Sopho-more Bethany Place bowled the best individual game of the af-ternoon with a 186 in the open-er for Yelm.

But the Tornados drew with-in 12 pins of Shelton (1,509-

1,497) after posting a convinc-ing 721-656 win in Game 2. Yelm was paced by Place’s 157-pin effort, while Shelton was led by Slone’s 170-pin game.

The match came down to the second of two Baker games after Yelm edged Shelton 165-163 in the first. In that second

Baker game, Shelton junior Alyssa Paz sealed the team vic-tory by picking up a seven-pin spare in the ninth frame as the Climbers went on to win 167-132.

“My girls are called the Baker Girls, and there’s a good reason for that,” Gagnon said.

“They come back and they win most of their Bakers, and that’s what we did today.”

Shelton faces Timberline at 3 p.m. Thursday at Aztec Lanes. The Climbers dealt the Blazers a 3-2 defeat when the teams met Nov. 15 at Westside Lanes.

LIVINGLIVING

On these cold, cold clear mornings we drive past an alder grove

to see the frozen crystals of mother’s breath decorate the bare limbs with diamond dust. Then, turning onto North Island Drive and cross-ing the bridge with the sun rising low on the Northeast horizon is inspiring. The waters of Pickering Passage are aglow in pink shaded to a pale baby blue and the sky over the Olympics is match-ing. It’s as if the two spent the night planning on how to announce this new day and they did it up big. This is a time I wish I could spend lin-

gering with the gulls on top of the light posts and watching the scene transpire.

The Next Harstine Island Community Cub meeting

will be Friday. Like all meetings it is a potluck, so make up one of your favorite dishes and plan to attend. The doors open at 6 p.m. and the meeting start is at 7 p.m. This will be a great meeting because we will be entertained by the Harstine Island

Choir. It’s the time of year to

start thinking about planting for spring. In that regard, our very own Mason Conserva-

tion District (MCD) sent out its flyer for plants. It also has a workshop planned for planting pollinators, plants that encourage bees to visit gardens. The class is free. It will be Jan. 15 at the North Mason Timberland Library in Belfair. It will be about an hour-long running from 6-7 p.m.

During the years I’ve bought a lot of plants from these folks. They are relatively inexpensive. This will be the 29th annual plant sale. You can order from the group now through Feb. 1. Then on that weekend, drive over to the district office by the airport and pick up your order. The plants are mostly bare root and sold in bundles

of five. MCD sells some potted plants, I’ve bought native rhododendrons from it the past three years. I lost one this past summer during the heat spell, but the rest are doing fine. You can see what MCD has this year and order on line by going to www.masoned.org.

With all this cold weather I think we need one more men-tion about the food bank. It is that time of year to be gener-ous. The Pioneer Food Bank continues to serve our com-munity. Volunteers served 56 area families at the October dispersal. The food bank has provided fresh produce, protein and other food items to area families, focusing on children home for the sum-

mer. In January 2019, it will celebrate its fifth anniversary with the help of local volun-teers partnering with the Bridge Community Church. Other partners include the Olympic Bakery and S&S Farm Fresh. It requires about $1,000 per month plus food donations to operate this pro-gram. Thank goodness resi-dents of the Pioneer School District are incredibly gener-ous. During this festive time of year is when they need the most help. If you can, please donate to: Pioneer Food Bank, 500 E. North Island Drive, Shelton, WA, 98584.

HARSTINE ISLAND NEWS

Can you believe it’s already time to think about spring?

What do Julia Roberts, Jimmy Carter, John-ny Bench, Orville

Redenbacher, Luke Bryan and Jacqueline Kennedy Onas-sis have in common? They all have roots in the 4-H Youth Development program.

While many notable enter-tainers, athletes, and business individuals got their start in 4-H, it’s the stories that local alumni share that we appreciate the most. Each year we have the opportunity to connect with folks that are eager to share their unique 4-H story. Each story has a common theme – a project experience that defined them, a 4-H volunteer leader who encouraged and sup-ported them, and a friend they have bonded with for life.

The countless stories of the impact 4-H had on the lives of each of these alumni is a powerful testament to the 4-H motto “to make the best bet-ter,” and it reveals just what happens when people dream big and work tirelessly to make those dreams come true.

The impact the 4-H Youth Development program has on a person is often not seen for many years after they have left the program. Regardless of how many years they have been out of the program, most alumni attribute many of their skills, relationships, and op-portunities to something they learned, experienced, or devel-oped through 4-H.

Recently, a Mason County 4-H alumni (1967) stopped into the office. He was pas-sionate about 4-H and what the program has taught him.

He shared with the 4-H staff some powerful stories:

“My favorite 4-H activities were the Mason County Fair, demonstrations, 4-H camp at Panhandle Lake, and serv-ing in the community. I have always been a competitor and the competition at the fair and

demonstration con-tests were a natural for me. It taught me that you don’t always win, but as long as you try you don’t lose. I spent a week every summer at Panhandle Lake playing and learning new skills, and it was my first experience of being away from home. That

prepared me for a lot of travel in my lifetime. Our local club took on a lot of community projects that taught us to re-spect our neighbors and our community. We cleaned up a forgotten cemetery, petitioned for road signs, and spoke at the Agate Grange to promote more activities for kids.

“Youth who are going through the 4-H program now should try as many different activities as possible. It’s a very good way to learn new skills, leadership, and to help your community. Over the years I had 14 different proj-ects and I cannot tell you how often I have said ‘I learned that in 4-H. I can do that.’ ”

The 4-H Youth Develop-ment program is open to all youths ages 5-19. One can join 4-H at any time of the year, however, some participation activities require a specific enrollment date.

Dave Hall, longtime resident of Lake Cush-man, passed away on No-vember 25, 2018 at his home in Palm Springs, California. Dave was born in Lanier, Ohio on August 31, 1934.

Dave began his mili-tary career in the Navy, then moved on to the Air Force where he retired.

Dave became a build-er/contractor and built and remodeled many homes at Lake Cushman and surrounding area.

Dave enjoyed golfing with his friends at Lake Cushman and Palm Springs. He also enjoyed jigsaw puzzles, Sudo-ku and watching most sports on TV.

He survived by his wife Janet Hall; sons David and Rick; daugh-ters Renee and Alisa; grandchildren Doug, Ian, Mallory, Steven, Nicki, Whitney, Parker and Addy; and great grandchildren Elaina and Alivia. He was pre-deceased by his son Ter-ry and grandson Sean.

Donald Edward Mug-ford Jr. “Mugs,” a 30-year resident of Lake Limerick in Shelton, WA, passed away after a brief battle with sep-sis and pneumonia, on November 15, 2018, one month after his 94th birthday.

He was born on Octo-ber 15, 1924 in Seattle, WA. He was the eldest of 7 siblings. On his 18th birthday he enlist-ed in the US Navy, serv-ing his country from Oct 1942 through Feb 1946. On August 9, 1946, six months after his honor-able discharge, he mar-ried his sweetheart, Lila Jean Jacobson, his “Rosebud.” They lived in south Seattle where they raised six children. Camping and bowling with family and friends were some of his favor-ite activities.

Don was a hard work-er, a jovial story teller, and would talk with any-one who would listen; he’d have them laughing within minutes. He lived a happy life and will be missed by all who knew him.
