Miles' harassment claim dismissed
PUb's Johns Prairie site progressing
By NATALIE JOHNSON
During the first Port of Shelton meeting of
2011, commissioner Jack Miles stood up and
said that he intended to file a harassment com-
plaint and request a restraining order against
pert executive director John DobsorL
On Wednesday, January 19, Mason County
District Court dismissed the complaint without
prejudice to either part, which means that ei-
ther Miles or Dobson can reopen the complaint
in the future.
Miles' petition for a temperary protection
order against Dobson, filed on January 6, 2011
with district court alleges that Dobson said sev-
eral times ' rou better watch your bacl "
Miles also stated that Dobson asked Dennis
Frost, an employee of Olympic Air, a tenant at
the pert, to videotape Miles.
In the petition, Miles states that Dobson
said to him on January 3, "the people he has
watch (sic) could hurt you if you don't res' grL"
Miles also mentions Steve Bloomfield of
Seattle Shellfish in the petition, saying that
Bloomfield followed him around town and to
public meetings, and asked him to resign in a
pert meeting.
Dobson, Frost and Bloomfield all submitted
declarations to the court in response to Miles'
allegations.
In his declaration Dobson says: "On two oc-
casions I offered a warning to Mr. Miles because
of my concern for his safety and his reputation."
Dobson says that after vandalism on port
property by what appeared to be an Earth Lib-
eration Front activist, he spoke to Miles.
felt he needed to recognize that certain
members of the public in Mason County could
be affiliated with organizations that cause seri-
ous harm to damage to institutions and facili-
ties that they believe harm the environment,"
Dobson says.
Dobson also denied asking Frost or Bloom-
field to stalk Miles.
"It is disturbing for me to be assailed by Mr.
Miles in the manner which is now a part of the
court record," Dobson sai&
Frost says in his declaration that he did tape
commissioner Miles during Port of Shelton,
along with several other members of the public.
Most pert meetings include several video cam-
eras, still cameras and tape recorders, along
with Frest.
"I have never videotaped Mr. Jack Miles on
any occasion outside of the Port of Shelten com-
mission meeting room," he says. "My videotap-
ing is not focused on Mr. Miles any more than
it is focused on any other person who speaks or
participates in the commission meetings."
Bloomfield's declaration states that he does
regularly attend pert commission meetings,
but that he has only seen Miles outside ofpui>
lic meetings on rare occasions.
Bloomfield said that he asked for Miles' res-
ignation, not to harass him, but out of concern
for the port.
'2 asked for his resignation to avoid embar-
rassment to himself and the Port of Shelton"
he says. "At no time has Mr. Dobson ever asked
me to follow Jack Miles aroun& Atno lime has
Mr. Dobson ever asked me to blackmail Jack
Miles."
The judge apparently agreed and dismissed
the petition.

After months of work on
the site of the future Mason
County PUb 3 Johns Prai-
rie Operations Center, con-
struction crews are start-
ing to make some obvious
progress, including build-
ing concrete walls for the
first buildings on the site.
"We're at the point
where things are going to
start getting interesting,"
said Nicole Brown, senior
project manager with OAC
Services Inc, which is man-
aging the construction on
the site.
Brown attended Tues-
day's PUb 3 commission
meeting to give the com-
missioners a presentation
on the progress on the proj-
ect.
The project began with
crews laying underground
pipes and plumbing and
creating catch basins. All of
this work was soon buried
underground, and while a
lot of work was going on,
Brown said, it was hard for
the casual observer to tell.
Brown shared aerial
pictures from each month
of construction on the site,
which particularly showed
the changes.
In the past month or
so, crews have been creat-
ing and anchoring concrete
walls for the buildings,
