LOCALS SIGN UP for their hand-held electronic response devices at the Olympic Natural Resources Center Town Hall Meeting in the SUB at Shelton High School Tuesday evening. Locals signal dislike of wolf reintroduction (Continued from page 1.) tion or wipe out deer and elk, 38 percent of the responders said the wolves would help while 62 per- cent said they&apos;d wipe out the game. Sixty-one percent strongly feared a reduction in hunting chances if wolves are nearby while 19 percent disagreed strongly with that contention. A 52-percent majority strongly agreed with the concern that wolf introduction might create obsta- cles to COmmercial management of forests around the park, while 35 percent strongly disagreed. Two percent agreed somewhat and 10 percent disagreed some- what. Some 54 percent of those pres- ent said wolves would discourage families with children from visit- ing the park, while 23 percent thou h .g t they d encourage more ramuy tourism. Forty-two percent :!i strongly agreed with a concern about threat of wolves to human safety, while 34 percent strongly disagreed. PEOPLE WHO turned out ap- peared to be there to express strong feelings. Sometimes the hand-held monitors with their ranks of numbers weren't enough. They laughed long and loud at a suggestion that wolves would drive cougars out of the area. And they simply vetoed a question suggesting that the matter would impact relations between Indian tribes and the non-native commu- nity. "Why is that a relevant question?" one member of the au- dience challenged Peterson. He was quick to drop it. Jim Park, natural resources di- rector for the Skokomish Tribe, pointed out that his tribe was making no recommendations un- til it received information that would indicate the impact on game. "We're waiting to see numbers," he said. Another audience member challenged the whole concept of reintroduction. "Wolves still exist in the Olympic National Park," he insisted. RESULTS OF Tuesday's meeting will be combined with that from subsequent meetings in Hoquiam and Forks on January 20 and 21. In the meantime, Pe- terson urged participants to con- tact Congressman Norm Dicks, a Washington Democrat who has taken the lead in promoting con- sideration of the reintroduction, or Senator Slade Gorton. The government decision ex- pected in 1999 will be for funding for additional development, in- cluding a possible environmental- impact statement, or choosing not to fund further study of the idea. A compilation of the responses from Olympic Peninsula residents in Mason, Grays Harbor, Clallam and Jefferson counties is expected to be ready in about eight weeks, the researchers said Tuesday. Port commission roundup: Commissioners describe their 'guides to serve by' The Shelton Port Commission 3) Promote uncompromising promised him a copy of the port's Voted on January 13 to post a list of 10 "guides to serve by" pro- posed by Chairman Henry Trus- ler. The guides were presented to the public following a retreat commissioners held the weekend of January 9-10. "We had an opportunity to present ray thoughts on how the commission should act," Trusler said. "I think these are the guides that we should live by as a com- mission." THE GUIDES are supposed to help a commission long plagued by management woes and dis- agreements. "If it's the right thing to do, do the right thing," Trusler said. "I think in the past we may have strayed." Commissioner George Radich moved to "recogume" the value" of the, guides, which will be posted ,- me commission's meeting room in the Sanderson Field Industrial Park. "Let's go by the postings be- cause I don't want to get demer- Its," Radich said. The measure was passed by a Vote of 2-0. Commissioner Rose Nye abstained. ThTh:gu!des are as follows: 1) - nrst of the public interest. 2) Consider how your actions will affect all others. Act unselfishly. truth. Share all pertinent infor- mation. 4) Set the good example. 5) Take pride in helping others grow. 6) Give credit where it is due. 7) Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. 8) Be receptive to new ideas. 9) Commit yourself to the port's growth. 10) Take per- sonal risks for the port's sake. IN OTHER business: • The commission voted 3-0 to approve pay raises of up to 3 per- cent for port employees. Half of the raises will be given on the ba- sis of merit and half as part of ef- forts to keep pace with the cost of living. • Radich reported on efforts to update the signage at the port. Interim Port Director Norm Eve- leth is gathering information for map signs and building signs, Ra- dich said. • Nye talked about plans to paint the port's headquarters. She thinks port workers should fix up the interior first and then paint the building when the weather improves. "I think we can do a lot of the work in-house," she said. • MARY FAUGHENDER asked the commission a number of questions about financial mat- ters. He said that Radich had financial control policy but that he had not received one yet. "If we have it we will get it to you,  Trusler said. • Administrative Assistant San-Dee Stewart said that she has met with Ed Binder to talk about setting up a port home page on the WorldWideWeb. She said the port needs to acquire an im- age scanner and more computer software before the project can proceed. • The commission voted 3-0 in favor of a new tax ceiling on the property tax that helps pay for operation of the port. The new limit is 6 percent higher than the highest rate in effect between 1985 and 1998. "If we don't have this we're frozen," Nye said. "We can't get more if we need it." Subway is a Choice! County commission roundup: Property owners riled over county's work on river dike By MARY DUNCAN The Mason County Board of Commissioners considered an after-the-fact permit Tuesday for its own emergency work done on a dike on the Skokomish River last year. The permit was approved, but not before the commissioners heard some displeasure from the affected property owners about the condition in which the work left their land. At Tuesday's meeting com- missioners John Bolender, Mary Jo Cady and Cindy Olsen lis- tened to testimony from Alan Pickard and a contingent of Tozier family members claim- ing the dike repair work done by the public works department from October 1998 to January had not been mitigated. PLANNER PAM Bennett- Cumming explained in the staff report that the public works de- partment was acting as agent for the Skokomish River Flood Con- trol District. The project at 3650 West Skokomish Valley Road was originally approved under an emergency shoreline exemp- tion due to river channel shift- ing, a dike blow-out and a risk of avulsion at the site, she reported. The property is owned by the county as a result of the federal buy-out program in the valley, and was owned by the Sigman and Foltz families. Pickard, who owns property at 3642 West Skokomish Valley Road, told the board that a fence which had been removed to pro- vide access during the dike work had not been replaced: He noted that several large cottonwoods had been removed from the dike to reinforce it and he said he wants top soil and trees replaced there to strengthen the dike. A lake is now forming on his property where there never was standing water as a result of overflow from the dike work on the former Sigman-Foltz proper- ty, Pickard stated. He expressed concern about water standing be- hind the dike and possibly satu- rating it. In the case of Arthur and Betty Tozier's property, the board was told by the Toziers' son-in-law and former county commission- er Ed Johnston that "the over- zealous actions" of Randy Neff, a county planner, and Gary Yando, community development director, have resulted in "a cloud" being placed on the title to the land. JOHNSTON TOLD the board that one of the Toziers' cedar trees had been damaged by a ca- ble used for the repair work and that the other four trees were re- moved because PUD 1 had re- quested that for several years. He said his father-in-law fig- ured that while the repair work was being done it would be a good time to take out the other trees. The five trees had been re- moved without a proper Depart- ment of Natural Resources (DNR) permit, Neff explained to the board. The county received a notice of harvesting without a permit from DNR and is obligat- ed by state law to place a six-year moratorium on subdivision of the property, Neff added. The commissioners and Yah- do explained that there is a waiv- er process for overcoming the moratorium but the process does not pertain to the shoreline sub- stantial development condition- al-use permit under considera- tion. The couple's son Evan Tozier, who is a member of the county shoreline advisory board which reviewed the emergency permit, reminded the board that at the time all county staff present agreed that after the work was completed, there would be 100 percent compliance with the landowners in terms of mitiga- tion for the work. ART TOZIER, another son of the couple, commented on the easement agreement which his parents signed for the work to be done. He noted the document states the county agrees to repair or restore the land to as close to original conditions as possible. His parents had damage to a fence too, he said. The rock which was placed on the property so equipment could pass was "hunky gravel, not good for farmland," Betty Tozier told the board. She wanted it re- placed with smaller gravel, like that which was there before the work. Rich Geiger, county engineer- ing services manager, noted mitigation concerns should go through the flood control district advisory board. That board wants to be careful how money is spent, he continued, and wants to be afforded the opportunity to use volunteers to do some of the work rather than flood district tax dol- lars. Cady insisted that the condi- tions of the permit be strictly ad- hered to, especially in terms of restoring property. She com- mented that what the board was hearing is that landowners are not happy with the way things have been handled. "We don't want this is be a bunch of' ver- biage that goes on here today," she said. IN OTHER business Tuesday, the commissioners: • Authorized the selection by the public works department of a geotechnical firm from the cur- rent roster for site reconnais- sance and evaluation of a slide at 5130 Pickering Road. Jerry Hauth, public works director, told the board he had a meeting with property owners, their attor- ney and a geotechnical engineer hired by the owners. "At this point, it is prudent to determine our level of involvement and the available alternatives," he said Hauth described the slide, which is located about a half mile to a mile south of the bridge, as localized and relatively small, involving a total of about 20 yards of debris. A briefing with commissioners, Hauth and the prosecutor's office was scheduled for 4:45 Tuesday afternoon. • Scheduled a public hearing for 10:15 a.m. Tuesday, Febru- ary 16, to consider a request from A. R. and Barbara Bye for re- moval of the utility and drainage easement between lots 38 and 39 in Division 16 at Lake Cushman for the purpose of building over the two lots. • Authorized Harris Haertel, juvenile court administrator and district court probation serv- ices director, to recruit, advertise and hire a juvenile probation of- ricer to fill a vacancy created by an officer leaving at the end of this month. Norling arrested on charges of armed robbery and assault A 23-year-old Lilliwaup man faces the prospect of life in prison after he was arrested Tuesday in connection with two separate felo- ny complaints. Leonard Luigi Norling of North 110 Ayock Beach Drive, Lilliwaup has been convicted of more than a dozen crimes since he was first convicted as a juvenile at the age of 12, officials in Mason County Superior Court said Wednesday. Now he faces felony allegations of armed robbery and assault in the second degree. He will be ar- raigned on January 28, the next step towards a possible double conviction. "If that happens the outcome for you would be the judge would have no discretion in sentencing and the sentence for you would be life in prison with no possibility of parole," Judge James Sawyer said at Norling's identification Wednesday. IF HE IS convicted, the latest charges would be strikes two and three according to a state law that requires life in prison with- out parole for offenders who com- mit three violent crimes. Norling also faces charges of exhibiting a deadly weapon. Saw- yer set bail at $50,000.

THE ARRESTING agency's report says Norling got permis- sion to stay with C.V. Woodworth and Amber Lap,c, but that after a bout of drinking with Woodworth, the two men got into a dispute, apparently over the young wom- an. Woodworth told deputies that Norling became angry and hit him with a bottle of Black Velvet whiskey when he tried to calm the guest down.

Woodworth reportedly told deputies Norling helped him clean up his face but blocked his path when he tried to leave the house. The next day Woodworth filed a report with Deputy Travis Adams of the Mason County Sheriff's Office. Adams indicated in his report that he went to the house on Shelton-Matlock Road and collected shards of the broken whiskey bottle.
