County commission roundup:
Food " owners managers
finish c, unly health safety class
A number of food establish-
ment owners and managers re-
ceived congratulations and food
manager certificates at Tues-
day's Mason County Commis-
sion meeting.
The Certified Food Manager
program is designed to promote
fbod sanitation and food safety
practices, registered sanitarian
Stephanie Kenny of" the county
environmental health depart-
ment explained to commission-
ers John Bolender and Mary Jo
Cady.
The participants in the pro-
gram must complete 15 hours of
classroom instruction and all
homework assignments. Kenny
said some assignments required
hands-on application of the
knowledge from the classwork.
At the end of the program the stu-
dents must pass a two-hour test
through Servsafe, a national
testing organization for food ser-
vice training, she added.
THE TRAINING should in-
crease public health and safety,
Kenny told the board. With in-
creased knowledge, the manag-
ers reduce the possibility of food-
borne illness from the mishan-
dling of food. The certification
benefits the fbod establishment
owners too, she noted, through a
reduction in some county fees.
Those who completed the pro-
gram included Kenny, Deborah
Adams of Tidewater Restaurant,
Shirley Chamberlain and Pare
Kuc from the Shelton School Dis-
trict, Sheila Christiansen from
the Allyn hm, Larry DePaul of
Cady Lake Manor, Dan Hansen
of ttoodsport Marina and Care
and Ron Hesher from Union Bay
Care.
Also earning certificates were
l)ebra Hutchins and Mark Mer-
rill from Little Creek Casino,
Rose Kvarnstrom of Purdy Can-
yon Drive In, Dorothy Lewis
from Bob's Tavern, Carol Ma-
lone of Hoodsport Inn, Terry
O'ttara from Lake Limerick Pro
Shop, Geri Purvis from Hood Ca-
nal Grocery, Cindy Sund of Rest-
aWhile, Monica Sykora from
Alderbrook Golf Club and Wil-
liam Thayer of Hot Dogs R Me.
]IN OTHER BUSINESS con-
ducted without Commissioner
Cifidy Olsen, who was ill, the
board:
• Approved a supplemental
appropriation to the budget of
$22,820 ff)r the current expense
One liquor
license oka) ='1
another is
discontinued
Cardinal Corporation, the op-
erator of First Street Pub, has re-
ceived Washington State Liquor
Control Board approval of a tav-
ern liquor license for beer and
wine and for sale of beer and wine
for ()if-premises consumption.
A spokesperson for the Liquor
Control Board noted in the same
press release that reported the
approval that a Union business's
license is discontinued. Sheila
and Bruce Rosenstein's grocery
store license for Union Country
Store was discontinued. The Ro-
scnsteins closed the popular store
late last fall.
fund and $32,000 for the landfill
fund.
Budget Director Ione Siegler
told the board that the addition to
the current expense fund is due to
a $1,600 cash carryover from a
1998 Community Juvenile Ac-
countability Act grant for in
training costs in probation ser-
vices; $20,000 for development of
a "food and family" program at
the WSU Cooperative Extension
Office, funded through a consoli-
dated grant in public health
nursing; and an error in salary
computation for a licensing su-
pervisor in the auditor's office.
The landfill money is from a
Washington State Department of
Ecology grant for litter cleanup,
she added.
• Awarded the bid for 1999
asphalt products to Lakeside In-
dustries of Aberdeen and Ace
Paving Company, Incorporated
of Bremerton, with the latter sub-
mitting bids for its Belfair and
Shelton plants.
DAVE LOSER, Equipment
Rental and Revolving Fund
manager, told the board the
prices were identical to last
year's and recommended all
three bids be accepted since these
firms will be used as needed in
various locations countywide.
The county does not guarantee a
minimum purchase of these ma-
terials, he noted.
• Signed a Region 6 AIDS
Network interlocal agreement
for $30,462 for the first half of the
year through June. The agree-
ment allows the county health
department to provide HIV/AIDS
(human immunodeficiency
virus and acquired immune de-
ficiency syndrome) prevention
program, explained Brad Ban-
ner, health services director.
Banner said the program in-
cludes testing and counseling
services. The arrangement is
broken into two halves with the
same amount allocated for the
July through December period, he
added.
• Heard concerns about
Trails Road from L.C. Smith, an
Olympic Palisades Drive resi-
dent. "Trails Road is going
away quite rapidly," he observed,
"in spite of Mason County's vali-
ant efforts to keep the road
passable." The road was restrict-
ed to one lane over the weekend.
Smith wondered about access
for emergency vehicles from
Mason County Fire District 2
and noted the only way for resi-
dents to get off the hill to Belfair
was to go through Allyn. He
asked the board to research why
Rasor Road, which used to pro-
vide access to State Route 106, is
now blocked.
• LISTENED TO A proposal to
remedy the Skokomish River
problems offered by Ed Edmis-
ton, a Crestview Drive resident.
Edmiston claimed, "By drag-
ging bureaucratic feet you are
losing a valuable resource in the
county."
After consulting an explosives
expert, Edmiston said, he
learned the technology exists to
divert the river channel and
"rehabilitate the gravel" by
planting charges down-river
and blasting them when the wa-
ter level is low. Edmiston noted
this approach would maintain
the biodiversity of the river.
He acknowledged this is "a
very radical approach but
someone has to be a pioneer."
When the board asked if this had
been accomplished anywhere, he
said it had not.
• APPROVED identical stor-
age agreements with three
groups for use of space at the Ma-
son County Recreation Area
(MCRA). Mason County Ameri-
can Little League, Mason County
National Little League and Shel-
ton Youth Soccer Club will each
pay 24¢ per square foot or $829.44
per year in rent.
Mike Byrne, tourism and
parks director, explained there is
one building with four units in
it. It was constructed in 1991 with
significant contributions from
the three user groups. Until this
year, that work was accepted in
lieu of rent.
• Authorized Byrne to post for
quotes for a 60-inch side-dis-
charge mower to replace a 1985
John Deere mower. The tem was
included in this year's budget,
Byrne noted.
• APPROVED A shoreline
substantial-development permit
with three conditions for Richard
Kelly to construct a pier and dock
on Mason Lake at 2171 Mason
Lake Drive East. Planner Shan-
dra Fitzpatrick explained the
permit was needed because there
DNR offers kit for

knew Hauth in the Navy, where
Hauth had spent most of his time
in the brig and Coleman visited
him there. "You still remember
it," Coleman quipped after his
boss told the tale.
Engman began work with the
county as an operator April 4,
1977. Although he had retired
three years ago, Engman came
back to work for the county,
Hauth noted.
He earned his retirement hon-
ors. Engman was working as a
flagman at a repair project on the
North Shore in December of 1997
when he was hit by a motorist
who ignored his stop signal. He
had surgery to repair a serious
knee injury.
"It's a dangerous business
we're in," his supervisor said at
the time.
Mason County officials ex-
pressed appreciation Tuesday to
two long-time public works de-
partment employees who have
retired, one for the second time.
Doug Coleman and Reggie
Engman received plaques from
Mason County Public Works Di-
rector Jerry Hauth at this week's
county commission meeting.
Hauth described the two as
"local color.".He said they were
fun to work with, adding, "It's
tough to see them leave."
Coleman began work as a
county mechanic July 9, 1979,
served as interim foreman over
the years and was appointed
foreman in April 1994. Hauth
said on his first day of work with
the county, he met Coleman at the

When a car stalls intermittently, the problem can usually be
isolated with a diagnostic checkup. To help the auto technician
make the correct diagnosis, it is necessary to know under what
conditions the engine stalls. Is the engine cold, or does it run
normally and only stalls when it is hot? An engine that stalls
when it is cold may have a heavy buildup of carbon in its intake
manifold. An engine that stalls when it is fully warmed up (and
also seems to idle too slowly) may have a defective idle air con-
trol motor in the fuel injection system. Some cars also stall when
the speedometer cable is broken or disconnected. Because the
on-board computer requires an electrical speed signal to reset
the idle air control motor, the absence of a signal could cause
the idle speed to fluctuate.
At our shop, you'll find we offer just the right combination of
friendliness and expertise. At CARTS TIRE & REPAIR, every
tech in our shop routinely updates his skills to ensure that he
can give you the best service possible. Visit us at 202 South
FirstStreet in Shelton (426-9762). Ask us any question you like
we know you like to be informed when you make repair deci-
sions foryour car.
HINT: The idle control motor regulates idle speed.
Veterans Affairs, Mr. Merifield told the
board the wheat straw on the plaque is
symbolic of the shafts which will be
used in the memorial to be dedicated
May 28 in Olympia. The one for Mason
County will contain the names of 37 vet-
erans who died in the war.

When a car stalls intermittently, the problem can usually be
isolated with a diagnostic checkup. To help the auto technician
make the correct diagnosis, it is necessary to know under what
conditions the engine stalls. Is the engine cold, or does it run
normally and only stalls when it is hot? An engine that stalls
when it is cold may have a heavy buildup of carbon in its intake
manifold. An engine that stalls when it is fully warmed up (and
also seems to idle too slowly) may have a defective idle air con-
trol motor in the fuel injection system. Some cars also stall when
the speedometer cable is broken or disconnected. Because the
on-board computer requires an electrical speed signal to reset
the idle air control motor, the absence of a signal could cause
the idle speed to fluctuate.
