Viola Irene Newkirk left
behind many close friends and a
legacy for creative, outdoor
work.
And in the end, the helping
hand that was always available to
others brought those same
people to her bedside when her
lingering illness confined Viola to
the family home on Newkirk
Road.
Memories of Viola reach back
to 1942 and the lack of a Girl
Scout troop in Belfair at that
time. Viola and Mary Theler
gathered books, uniforms and
girls together to start formation
of a troop. Then, divided into
two troops for separate age
groups, Girl Scouting began in
North Mason and has continued
through the years.
Viola had an outstanding
knowledge of plants, wild or
domestic, that she shared with
enthusiasm. Young and old,
listeners readily learned the
common and generic names of
favorite plants under her
humorous and easy manner of
teaching. The shrubs and
old-fashioned flowerbed still
growing in the C.W. Henningsen
yard was a long-ago green-thumb
project.
Starts and slips of shrubs
were taken from the Newkirk
yard to the new home and, as
Mac Henningsen remembers, her
family called the new growth
"children from the Newkirk
shrubs."
Viola's love of flowers
extended to her being a charter
member of the Evergreen Club,
which has planned and cared for
the garden spot at the
intersection of the Old and New
Belfair Highway.
Containers galore were
always stacked around the

Newkirk home on shelves, under
furniture, and in the yard. Each
was filled with a collection of
eye-catching rocks that would
take years to examine and
appreciate.
Some 20 years ago Viola and
husband, Marion, purchased a
collection containing rocks from
foreign countries and many parts
of the United States. They
continued the hobby with their
own collecting of rocks through
the years.
During the Mason County
Fair the major part of the day
for some people would be spent
at the Newkirk rock exhibit,
looking at the many varieties and
sopping up priceless knowledge.
Viola stressed that all rocks,
when dampened, have added
beauty and she was willing to
illustrate the point even with a
lick of the tongue.
There was an unusual
welcome-home for Mr. and Mrs.
William L. Pagel in the early
morning hours last Sunday as
they returned from a trip to the
Hawaiian Islands. They found a
car wedged "nose-down" in their
front lawn in an apparent try for
a shortcut across the
deep.ditched curve near their Old
Belfair Highway home.
With Dick and Kathy
Seyfirth, the Pagels had enjoyed
the tour package of the island
including a four-day stay at
Oahu and three days at Maul.
Extra clothing taken along was
never unpacked as they basked
in the warm sunshine and
a cooling breeze.
They were surprised at the
"tourists galore," the vivid blue
sky and the ocean that appeared
green from the air but was a
special blue from the beach.
Luggage sent on a later flight to
Sea-Tac caused a delay of some
waiting hours before the drive
home to their new front yard
exhibit which has since been
removed.

A citizens' advisory
committee was formed at the
February meeting of the
Grapeview School Board to help
the board in assessing the needs
of the district's facilities. First
meeting of the group was
devoted largely to a discussion of

Library
donation
hits county snag
Last fall the North Mason
Friends of the Library in Belfair
informed the county board of
commissioners that they wanted
to deed six acres of land to the
county for use by the county's
parks and recreation department.
At the time the matter was
referred to the county
prosecutor's office for
clarification and advice.
At the county
commissioners' February 27
meeting, they received a copy of
a letter prepared by the
prosecuting attorney and sent
February 7 to the Friends of the
I1! II
Next meeting of the
Mason-Benson Community Club
will be Thursday, March 9, 8
p.m. at the clubhouse.
New officers for the year will
be elected and the calendar of
coming events will be
distributed.
Tonight, March 2, the youth
group will sponsor their first
get-together from 6 to 9 p.m. at
the clubhouse. All junior-high
and high-school-age students are
invited to attend.
Alice Lombard) has returned
home recuperating after her
recent hospitalization. Although
she'll have to take things easy
for a few weeks, no doubt she'll
soon be up and as busy as ever.
Several young people from
Mason Lake attended the Fog
Festival Celebration at Ocean
Shores on Presidents' Birthday
weekend. Earl and Joan Nilsen,
their sons, Steve and Scott, along
with Carl and Harriet Kramp all
spent the same weekend at
Ocean Shores, but when they
made their reservations they
didn't realize they'd be part of a
crowd of 75,000.
Although the beach and
everything else was pretty
crowded, they said they enjoyed
themselves.
Incidentally," the Kramps
recently became grandparents
...he sends it out
save room in the dumpster.
As John finishes bidding a
good day to one of his regular
customers and prepares to start
loading a mountain of cans into
the towering container, he says
he feels a lot of people would
like to start recycling "but just
aren't sure how to go about it.
"Now I'm not just saying
this, but if someone is having a
hard time getting started with
recycling, then they should feel
free to give me a call.
"Or else they can drop by,
pick up some boxes, and I can
go over any questions they might
have.
"After all, it's my job, and
recycling helps us all."
(Continued from page one.)
Each week the center collects
and ships away, John estimates,
an average of 20 loaded pallets
or a total close to 1,000 bottles.
When bottles are brought in,
John and his son sort them out
and stack them according to
brand. Then periodically a truck,
driven by John's boss, travels to
each of the three centers, picks
up all the bottles of one brand
and delivers the loaded semi to
the appropriate brewery.
Aluminum cans are tossed
into a monolithic dumpster.
John guesses that every two
weeks the center ships out close
to 10 tons of aluminum.
Although they'll take them
either way, John prefers that the
aluminum cans be crushed to

The letter stated that to
assure the land will be used for a
park or kept natural the deed
given to the county should
include a reversionary clause.
In the letter the prosecutor
also listed the board of
commissioners' policy that the
county not receive any donations
of lands subject to such
reversionary clauses.
In closing, he told the
association that if it still wishes
to deed the land with no
restrictions the prosecutor's
office would continue to handle
the legal aspects of the transfer.
