Expensive Fence Elk Problem Answer
• The best solution to the pro-
blem of elk damage on the Ted
Richert farm in the Skokomish
Valley would be an elk proof
fense a minimum of 2V miles
long and possibly needed five
miles long, the Shelton Nimrod
Club was told at a mcting Thurs-
day night.
Attending the meeting were
Richert and two sons, Gerald and
George, along with State Game
Department officials.
The club had invited them to
appear at the meeting in an ef-
fort to seek a solution to the pro-
blem which came to light when
10 elk were shot on the farm sev-
eral weeks ago.
Fred Roundy, Olympia, who
is with the damage control di-
vision of the Game Department,
told the group that thor(' were
three possible solutions:
Kill off the 250 ,o 300 elk which
are in the area.
Erect the elk proof fence.
Purchase the Rdchert property.
The best solution, Roundy said,
since no one wants to kill off
the elk, and Richert stated he
would not sell his farm, would
be the fence.
The Game Department has a
number of elk and deer fences
in the State, Rotmdy said, and
has a policy that the Department
will furnish the materials if the
land owner will erect the fence.
The department has offered Ri-
chert the materials for the need-
ed fence, Roundy said.
Richert stated that the 2V2
miles of fence which was pro-
posed would cost up to $1,500
a mile to install, and, would do
his farm operation no good at
all, and, that he did not feel he
should have to bear that cost
for no benefit to his farm opera-
tion. If additional fence in pla-
ces around the property where
he would benefit from it were
needed, R.ichert said, he would
be glad to participate in the
construction.
The proposed fence would be
94 inches high and of a six-
inch wire mesh. Posts would be
11 feet tall and set about two
feet in the ground.
The Game Department, Roun-
dy said, has a few deer fences
in Mhson County around vine-
yards in the Grapeview area.
Bob err, president of the Nim-
rod club, told the meeting he
and two other club mem)ers had
visited the Richert farm, and,
had observed for themselves the
damage done by the elk.
There is definitely a l)roblem,
be said, and the meeting had
been called in hopes of finding
a solution to it.
After hearing the comments on
the situation, the club voted to
do everything in its power to-
wards getting the needed fence
built, t
They discussed attempting to
get the Stffte Game Department
to make an exception to its po-
licy ono participating in the
construction of fences in this
case, and, if this was not pos-
sible to attempt to raise the nec-
essary funds locally and through
requests for help from clubs in
other areas and from the state
sportsmen's council.
The club also agreed to pro-
vide as much volunteer help as
possible to the Game Depart-
ment in efforts to keep the elk
herds herded away from the R.i-
chert property until they move
back into higher ground as spring
approaches.
Others from the Game Depart.
ment who attended the meeting
were Kelly Land, danmge con-
trol officer for the Olympia Pe-
ninsula, and A1 Rasmussen, lo-
cal Game Protector.

AINIE ARONSON, (inset) has retired from his job as engineer with the
Simpson Timber Company railroad after 41 years with the company.
During those years, he has had his hand on the throttle of the engine
which pulled innumerable trains of logs down tO the Simpson plants on
the waterfront here from logging areas. Retirement will give him time
to do some of the things he did not have time to do when he was work-
Ing. Commenting on Aronson's retirement, Bob Whitmarsh, business
agent for IWA Local 3-38 said "Financially, along with his social secur-
ity, Arnle will be getting a pension that was negotiated by the IWA in
1961. The IWA and Simpson came out with a plan known as the Simp-
son-IWA retirement, which was designed to provide a measure of secur-
ity for those who retired under its terms. The plan has been updated
financially since its origin." Aronson has been a member of the IWA
local here since its formation.
Incident
Brings
Officers
A call received by the Shelton
Police Department M o n d a y
night, which sounded as if a gun
battle was about to break out,
ended with no shots fired and
no arrests made.
The call from a woman who
identified herself as "Mrs. Be,
lin" at Bell's Trailer Court, and
who stated there were four men
outside with guns and someone
was going to get killed if offi-
cers did not hurry, was relayed
to the Mason County Sheriff'S
office.
Four Sheriff'S cars and a Stat
Patrol car which was in the vi-
cinity at the time, answered the .
call, the Sheriff's-Office said:
