COLEMAN IS keeping an eye on the growth of
in a can of turkey giblets for cats.
Fungus no picnic
II for Coleman's cat
The mystery surrounding a
can of cat food that sprouted
a hair-like substance contin-
ties.
A few Weeks ago, Agate res-
ident Ray Coleman brought a
]l can of cat food containing tur-
!] eY giblets in to The Journal.
It e said he left it uncovered
for four days, then noticed
U: the hairy matter growing
fo within the can.
Coleman took the can to
e local Washington State
Oaiversity Extension Office
d a sample was sent to the
U Puyallup Research and
rnsion Center for analy-
The center determined the
several hundred (at least)
species in this group - or-
ganic matter (such as this cat
food) is a common substrate
on which they grow," the di-
agnostician noted in a lab re-
port obtained by Coleman.
Coleman on Tuesday said
the fungus in the can has
grown to a length of three
inches. He's thinking about
taking the can to the Puyal-
lup center for more analysis.
The sample mailed earlier
had been rolled in paper and
pressed into an envelope,
which led to it being smashed
en route.
Also, he said he was mis-
taken about where the can
rganism growing out of the of cat food was purchased. It
lLeatfood sample appears to be did not come from local

]00ickm(00yer violated ethics law
(Continued from page 1.)
a Republican activist who has
been trying to dislodge Eick-
meyer from his seat in the
Washington State House of
Representatives.
Hrbacek did not return a call
seeking comment on the latest
developments in her campaign
against the lawmaker. One of
her formal complaints against
him was filed with the Leg-
islative Ethics Board in the
run-up to the last election and
took issue with the payment of
state funds to Sound Institute
and many other things. Her
complaints didn't stick, but
the board's investigation of her
complaints produced evidence
that Eickmeyer's legislative
aide had used the state's tele-
phone to make numerous per-
sonal calls.
Those calls were made by
Jean McMilian to Eickmeyer's
campaign manager, Linda
Thomson of Belfair. Thom-
son was paid $18,500 during
the months of the Democrat's
campaign against Republican
Randy Neatherlin.
The Legislative Ethics
Board fined McMilian $1,000
after alleging she "used the
facilities of the House of Rep-
resentatives for the purpose of
assisting the campaign" of her
employer and "made improper
personal use of the facilities of
the House on her own behalf
and on behalf of others."
the board found that McMil-
ian had made 212 telephone
calls to Thomson and that they
talked for 5,097 minutes.
Mike O'Connell, an attorney
employed by the board, said
there were statements to the
effect that the two women are
friends and so the Legislative
Ethics Board found that there
is "no reasonable cause" to
believe she violated state law
by using the House phone "to
improperly assist Representa-
tive Eickmeyer's campaign for
reelection."
The board found that Eick-
meyer should not be held ac-
countable for the 212 calls Mc-
Milian made to his campaign
manager. He should be made
to pay for the five calls and the
three letters she typed for him
to Sound Institute, said the
board.
"It felt that he was in prime
position of responsibility when
he told her to do these things,"
O'Connell said.
AN INVESTIGATION by
Baby Boomers
Hear the Call
BY HIS CALCULATION
the phone calls cost the state
95 cents while the cost to
the state of the paper and
the stamps for the letters
are "something that we don't
know" because Eickmeyer
and McMilian "said they do
keep some personal stamps
around."
The lawmaker's one-on-one
on the niceties of ethics will be
with Tim Sekerak, an attorney
employed by the House.
The agreement resolving
the case was signed by Wayne
Ehlers, who chairs the Legis-
lative Ethics Board. Donna L.
McKereghan, another member
of the board, disagreed with
the agreement "on the grounds
that the proposed sanction is
not proportional in relation
to the sanctions imposed" on
Jean McMilian because Eick-
meyer "in his supervisory role
directed his staff to use public
resources on behalf of Sound
Institute."

Device) consists of what is called"Open Fit"technology only a clear, thin
tube connects the Arris PHD (Personal Hearing Device) to your ear. The

up" the ear canal creating a "barrel ear tip and revolutionary microchip which
effect" to the wearer, a/lows certain sounds to pass through
without amplification.

Young Adults Love Them
"In the practice of hearing correction eight out of ten
patients we see are 60 and older, and are usually referred by
their friends," said Cathy Kallio, Licensed Hearing Instrument
Specialist of Avada Hearing Care Center. "Recently, though, I
have started seeing 40-50 year old, well educated buyers
