Thursday, February 22, 1973 Eighty-seventh year, Number 8 4 Sections - 26 Pages Ten Cents Per Copy in Mark A. Antich, 20, Shelton, was given a two-year deferred sentence after pleading guilty to a charge of possession of a controlled substance (amphetamines) before Judge Frank Baker Monday morning. Antich had earlier pleaded not guilty to the charge and his trial had been set to start before a superior court jury Monday morning. Motions to deny admission of a verbal confession and for supression of evidence which had been made by his court-appointed attorney, Gerald Whitcomb, Shelton, were both denied. After the motions were denied, Antich changed his plea from not guilty to guilty. In addition to the two-year deferred sentence, Antich was ordered to pay $250 into the current expense fund of Mason County over the two-year period and was ordered to spend five weekends in jail. During the Saturdays he is in jail the judge ordered that he spend one hour each Saturday sitting in the courtroom by himself. The judge commented that he wanted Antich to become so familiar with' the ,:ourtroom that he would never want to ceme back there as a defendant. Judge Baker also ordered that on the Saturdays Antich spends in custody a construction type wheel barrow be loaded with dirt and five pills be placed on top and Antich is to push the wheel barrow around the courthouse block 10 times each Saturday.

Peregrin testified he had stopped a vehicle with six young people in it March I 1, 1972, and County e A bill which will clarify the status of the Mason County Fair so it will be able to continue to receive state fair funds has passed the House of Representatives, Representative Paul Conner said this week. Conner introduced the bill which permits a county fair to receive state money if it leases land on a long-term basis from another gore mm~at.-nguney..- ..... The bill now goes to the state Senate. The present law limits state fair money to county fairs which are operated on property which is owned by the county. The Mason County Fairgrounds are located on property leased from the Shelton Port Commission at Sanderson Field. ,a ence ear ngs mlssa Je after determining mat they were under 21 and appeared to have been drinking he placed them under arrest on charges of being minors in possession of and consuming liquor. During a search of the car he found five pills which proved to be amphetamines, commonly known as speed. Antich was one of three boys in the car. The driver of the car at the time was Mary Ninnis and that the owner of the car was Jill Ritzschke, who was also a passenger in the vehicle. Peregrin testified the six were taken to the Mason County Jail where they were searched and booked on charges on which they had been arrested. He told the court that while he was sitting at a table in the kitchen area talking to Miss Ninnis and filling out the booking sheet on her, Antich came up to him and stated the drugs found in the car were his. McLain testified that he had answered a call for back-up after Peregrin made the traffic stop and that he had gone to the scene and had transported the three girls to the jail in his patrol car. tte stated he stayed around the jail area during the booking procedures to assist if needed. He stated he was standing in the kitchen when Antich came up to him and asked if Miss Ninnis would be charged with possession of the drugs since she was driving the car. McLain stated he told Antich he did not want to talk about it since it was not his arrest and that he should talk to Peregrin. Haynes testified he was on duty that night as jailer-dispatcher and that he had searched the three young men and had called a matron to search the girls. He stated he was at the A jury was being picked Wednesday morning to hear the case of Robert Daly, one-time Shelton school psychologist against the Shelton School District. At noon Wednesday, the jury selection was still going on. The case involves the question of whether Daly was dismissed or left his position as school psychologist after about five days at the beginning of the school year in 1965. The case came before a superior court jury here once before, and was dismissed by Judge Charles Wright after the completion of Daly's case. The ruling was appealed and the state supreme court reversed the ruling and sent the case back to superior court for trail. Daly contends he was told by former Superintendent Robert Quiggle that he was dismissed from his position. The school board contends Daly left Shelton and vacated his contract. r DANFORD. a minimum of special practically nothing and stage sets, Absurd Musical or ~._ Children', last orought to life for students fairy tales, fantasies and nursery rhymes. The singing, dancing, story-telling and pantomime of the eight professional actors were heightened, accented and embellished by the brilliant, rollicking piano of musical director Stan Keen, whose obvious personal enjoyment was in itself a tribute to the fresh and spontaneous originality of the youthful thespians. As the plaid-coverall-clad people ran, leaped, danced and ostured upon the Shelton gymnasium floor in performances presented at 10 a.m. and again at 1 p.m., children and supervising adults alike were transported to a world of most convincing make-believe. Before the wide, round eyes of a completely captivated MASON COUNTY STUDENTS were captivated by last Thursday's "performances of "The Absurd Musical Revue for Children" presented in the Shelton gymnasium under the sponsorship of the Washington State Cultural Enrichment Program. audience a handsome young man changed into a horse. His body assumed an equine stance; dark hair became a flowing mane; arms were flying forefeet as the spirited animal reared and pranced and galloped over boards transformed in imagination to turf. In another moment horse had turned into eagle and swiftly arms were wings and the fluid body seemingly soared. Again and again by magic metamorphosis the actor unerringly created the illusion of varied animals and objects, attaining even the shape and essence of a grain of barley as he fell to earth before his ultimate restoration to his natural form. A vivacious Miss Muffett sat upon a most accomodating tuffet who balanced on two knees and one hand while profferring the proverbial bowl in which.the maiden perceived in surprised glee the traditional curds and whey. An actress carried piggy-back supplied extra appendages for the spider who, with a frantic waving of arms and legs, frightened away not only Miss Muffet but her faithful tuffet as well. A youth, obviously performing in the Shelton gymnasium, held in his hand an invitation to a party in New York. What to do! Obliging cast members quickly knelt to assemble an airplane. The propellor moved and human wings tilted as the plane was apparently airbourne, but suddenly the vehicle disintegrated. "Good luck!" came the jubilant cry from the cast as the portions, of the plane promptly encircled the gyrating passenger. "He has a parachute!" "Bad luck!" The despairing words were sighed as the chute failed to function. "Good luck! He's falling into a haystack!" "Bad luck! There's a pitchfork in the haystack!" "Good luck! He missed the pitchfork!" "Bad luck! He missed the haystack!" "Good luck! He fell in the water !" "Bad luck! There are sharks in the water !" "Good luck! He can swim!" Not a single sound was made by hundreds of hypnotized onlookers as an astounding series of enacted misadventures and near-disasters led the hero ultimately through a forest infested with ferocious beasts. Finding refuge in a cave, he at long last tunneled upward to burst through a dance floor into the very party to which he had been invited! Impromptu "machines" cleverly illustrated audience-selected words. A lone actor in the foreground, executing movements and sounds related to the interpretation of the chosen word, was joined one by one by remaining cast members summoned by the almost imperceptible finger flicking of Stan Keen, blocked from audience view by his piano. Each participant added to the growing machine moving parts which gave forth very FAIRY TALES and nursery rhymes were brought to life by the eight professional actors comprising the case of "The Absurd Musical Revue for Children" staged by A Contemporary Theater of Seattle.
