County GMA appeal denied (Continued from page 1.) the hearings board's determina- tions regarding the '96 plan and regulations were supported in the following areas: • The Urban Growth Areas are inconsistent with the GMA. • The rural element in the comprehensive plan is oversized and allows for urban growth in rural activities centers. • The comprehensive plan and development regulations do not meet the capital facilities re- quirement of the GMA. • Policies and future plans to protect the aquifers are not suffi- cient. • The affordable housing ele- ment is invalid since the county did ,lot meet it's burden of proof in showing how the comp plan provides for low-cost housing. • The plan's open space provi- sions are not in compliance with the GMA. The 3-0 decision also rejected the county's contentions regard- ing the board's authority to sub- stitute its judgment for the coun- ty. The county contends that as the board is part of the executive branch, its action against a local legislative body is a violation of separation of powers. The justic- es also did not buy the county's challenge based on the constitu- tional vagueness of the Growth Management Act (GMA). The source of the appeal dates back to December 5, 1996 when the hearings board determined sections of the land-use plan and development regulations were invalid or out of compliance with growth act. The '96 plan was challenged by petitioners from the Mason County Community Development Council. The county's first appeal was heard in Grays Harbor County Superior Court where Judge Gor- don L. Godfrey upheld the hear- ings board findings and af- firmed its statutory authority as well as the constitutionality of the GMA. That judgment was issued on November 20, 1997. The county appealed Judge Godfrey's ruling and the Ap- pellate Court heard arguments on February 9. The county was represented by David St. Pierre, and Tom Bjorgen and Kevin Tegue prepared the brief defend- ing the hearings board's find- ings. The county has since revised its comprehensive plan and de- velopment regulations to address areas which the hearings board determined were invalid or out of compliance with the Growth Management Act. The amended comprehensive plan and devel- opment regulations were adopted in August 1998. In January, sections of the '98 version of the land-use plan were found to be invalid or out of com- pliance. The county has six months to respond to the hearings board's latest rulings. This week, the commissioners au- thorized the employment of a GMA advisor as well as a plan- ner to help the community devel- opment department revise the plan and regulations. City commission roundup: House added to historic list The Gilbert/Spring House at 909 South Seventh Street was added to the Shelton Historic Register this week by Shelton city commissioners. Built in 1911, the house is ar- chitecturally significant at the lo- cal level, a planning department staff report noted. "There have been fiw changes to the original fhcade, and the additions that have been made are now historic in and of themselves or their vis- ibility is impaired so as not to de- tract from the original facade," the report added. "It therefore has historic integrity." Shirley Erhart, a Shelton resi- dent whose family has owned the house tbr the past 32 years, also provided commissioners with a report of her own that details the history of the structure. "In 1909," said Erhart's report, "the Reverend Cyrus Gilbert ar- rived in Shelton to pastor the Methodist Church at Second and Cota streets. As it was becoming surrounded by 'saloons' and other busimsses, he and the family moved to the Fourth and Pine lo- cation in 1910. Ayear later he leR the ministry to associate himself with Grant C. Angle as co-pro- prietor of the Mason County Journal." The May 21, 1911, issue of The Journal took note of the new home: "C.L. Gilbert's new house on Angleside hill is up and receiv- ing the outside finish, a drop-sid- ing which is the prevailing fad in the cities. A fireplace of clinker brick is being built and the new home will be cozy and attractive when completed. The Seventh Street road is attracting many people for the Sunday walk." DURING THE 1940s the house's south facade was modi- fied, but it remains architectural- ly significant as an early example of the Craftsman style between 1905 and the 1920s, Erhart wrote. It was apparently the first house built in the Angleside Addi- tion. The house has two large shed dormers and the original double- hung sash windows in the up- stairs bedrooms and downstairs living room. It also has a large, recessed porch that's typical of the Craisman/bungalow styles. Erhart's research shows that Gilbert left The Journal and act- ed as town clerk, taught in local schools and moved to Rainier in 1920. Walt Elliot Sr. bought the square block in 1926, Twana In- vestment in 1930 and Elliot B. Spring in 1935. Welford Jessup bought the house in 1946 and be- came publisher of The Journal. A few years later he sold his inter- est in the newspaper and his wife, Dorothy, acquired the house in a divorce. Several others owned the prop- erty, including Bill Judah, John Stentz and Herb Vonhof, before Robert and Shirley Erhart bought it in 1968. The house has been in the Erhart family ever since.

Boris Marozow, director of the Skonto football club, gave the city several gifts from Latvia too. commissioners: • Heard the first of two read- ings of an ordinance approving the final assessment roll of Local hnprovement District 42, the Railroad Avenue Improvement Project. The assessment total for the project, which included new sidewalks, curbs, street lights, pavement and other improve- ments from Front to Eighth streets, came to $184,800. The assessment to property owners within the improvement district totaled $47.35 per lineal foot. The city itself owns 560 line- al feet on four parcels and must pay a total of $26,514 as its share of the assessment. • Opted for slate blue as the color for exterior window frames, exterior doors and awnings at the Shelton Civic Center. That color will match the roof to be installed on the building. Still to be determined is the choice of floor covering for the open public space inside the civic center. The commissioners will be asked to reach a decision about that issue and other interior col- ors when architect Len Williams returns at the next commission meeting. • VOTED TO remove Hear- ings Examiner Tom Mark, who moved to Washington, D.C., but never resigned from the post. In his place, commissioners appoint- ed Tom Bjorgen, a land-use attor- ney who serves as Olympia's hearings examiner, as hearings examiner pro tern. The search tbr a permanent hearings examiner continues, and commissioners in- terviewed two candidates Wednesday. • Appointed Dana Tilton to fill the unexpired term of Mike Fred- son on the Shelton Arts Commis- sion. That term runs until De- cember 2002. During last week's meeting: • Approved three expenditures of city hotel/motel tax funds. They include $2,500 to the Shelton-Ma- son County Chamber of Com- merce for tourism marketing ex- penses and maintenance and op- erations of the chamber's tourist information center in the caboose at the Tollie log monument; $750 to Olde Towne Shelton Associa- tion for marketing the 1999 Mu- sic in the Park series, and $500 to Olde Towne Shelton Association for marketing the Goldsborough Creek Run in conjunction with the 1999 Mason County Forest Festival. • Heard from Rhoades that the new traffic signal on Wallace Kneeland Boulevard at the en- trances to Wal-Mart and Knee- land Plaza will soon be operating. The controller unit was installed last week and the city is discuss- ing with the Washington Depart- ment of Transportation whether to fully activate the signal at first or let it run on "flash" a while. Monday afternoon he said the signal could be operating Thurs- day morning at the earliest, but he amended that estimation Tuesday morning, saying it would not be operating this week at all. • Heard from City Attorney Ben Settle that, while city staff members this year are re-examin- ing all policies in the ordinance regarding water and sewer ser- vice, the city may pay to replace water connections to single-family homes that are being converted to duplexes if the connection is of adequate size for the load change but in poor condition. If the con- nection is not adequately sized to serve a duplex, the owner would pay to replace it. • Declared the North 13th Street Improvement Project offi- cially completed and released the contractor's bond of $100,959.55 and remaining retainage of $1,067.29. Rhoades said city staff recommended the project was complete as a number of leftover components had been done. i1 IHI () W I tw?llthg f rcth2 Speu 7:2n; Sa32c ):gu F27eSaYg u  TNAN fl1114. 81 VAILUM • , . 10.3 Ibs (,,.._t=, 13.2 Ibs , Lenten Message: Y2?: Why I:() pe00'sev o By the Reverend Mark Sartori Mountain View Alliance Church This year, Lenten articles are springboarding off the Y2K theme. My thoughts today are for those who have dropped to a low ebb and wonder why it's important to persevere. Why persevere in our faith when life seems to be pushing us into a corner? Why seek after a God who at times seems to allow life to come to a grinding halt, a God who allows disappointment and disaster - and then seems to remain distant, silent, even uncaring? Why persevere in any pursuit of God when He allows incredible pain, hurt, suffering? Maybe you have been shattered this year by divorce. Painful rejection. Crushing loneliness. Financial ruin. Alcohol or drugs. Emptiness. Failure. Fear. Maybe you have been abused or even molested. Where is God anyway when real life happens? Reflect back even further. Why persevere when God allowed the most loving Man you ever knew to be crucified? When a Man who healed the brokenhearted, consoled the grieving, re- stored hope to the hopeless, loved the unlovable and embraced the rejected - when a Man like that was allowed to die a criminal's death? Why be faithful to a faith that cannot tolerate a Man whose worst crime was exposing the sham of dead, churchy religion, encouraging people to be genuinely connected to God in a meaningful rela- tionship? Jesus' death made no sense.., until the Resurrection. The Resurrection, in a sense, interpreted the Crucifixion. It made sense out of the senseless things done to Christ. Why persevere? Why cling to God even life closes in? Why pursue a God who allows tremendous upheaval in our lives? • Because the Resurrection follows the CrU¢" fixion. • Because behind all the things that make 0 sense to us, there is a God who is in control. • Because even in the face of injustice, we lieve in a God who will one day right all • Because even the Bible never 1 faith will cushion us from "real life" - able to turn even the evil that comes to us something good, not in a Pollyanna sense, the way God has of turning even tragedY: strength. • Because God is in the realm of eternal - and eternity reminds us that all pointments are temporary, that even the plainable things that happen to us in Time one day be interpreted by Eternity. • Because we are a people of hope - always looks toward the future. We persevere, we pursue God we faith, we hold fast because God is faithfiU. is no need to slog it out on our own; God is t for us. We now look back and realize that greatest tragedy became God's greatest gift - the clear expression of His love and bring us into a love relationship with We now look back and realize that the ties interpreted the apparent the Crucifixion. We persevere because resurrection foreshadows the resurrection who remain faithful. Scheduled for June: Auditor plans an to honor 5C,-,year County residents who have voted for the past 50 years will be honored by the county for their civic participation in June, Ma- son County Auditor A1 Brotche announced at Tuesday's com- mission meeting. The auditor told the board a project to recognize the long-time voters would be funded entirely by private donations and said he was scheduled to speak to five community groups in the next week. The estimated cost will be $1,500 to $2,000, he added. According to election records, there is a potential for 4,700 resi- dents to be honored. They will receive applications in the mail, Brotche explained. They do have to have voted in Mason County or state, he said. Brotche told the commissioners he had ascer- tained that at least six people have done all their voting in Ma- son County for over 50 years. Seniors who qualify will be recognized with certificates and lapel pins at a ceremony sched- uled for 2 to 4 p.m. June 17, at Shelton Auditorium.
