There was a good crowd at the
Mason Benson Clubhouse last
Saturday. As a matter of fact
there was standing room only and
some people were escorted to the
annex area where they could hear
but not see very well. Jerry Nel-
son introduced the morning meet-
ing with a brief review of how the
aggressive Eurasian water milfoil
was discovered in Mason Lake
and how a community committee
was formed to combat this
nuisance.
The committee, which met of-
ten, did extensive research and
organized the community meeting
are to be congratulated for their
efforts. An impressive panel was
there to speak to the group and to
answer questions.
Kathy Hamel, from the Depart-
ment of Ecology, had valuable in-
formation about the law affecting
water quality and lakes and
about how other lake residents in
Washington state have handled
similar situations. Shaun Hyde,
from Resource Management Inc.,
showed slides of lakes around the
state that have had a problem
with milfoil that has been allowed
to spread.
BRAD BANNER, FROM the
Mason County Health Depart-
ment, Cathy Petito-Boyce, from a
company in Bellevue that ana-
lyzes herbicides, Bill Eickmeyer,
State Legislative Representative,
and Cindy Olsen, County Com-
missioner, were also on the panel.
To date, the weed has infested
Lake Washington, Lake Sam-
mamish, the Columbia River and
other lakes in King, Pierce,
Thurston, Chelan and Lewis
counties, Representative Eick-
meyer stated that this was a state
problem not to be solved with
only community volunteer efforts
on Mason Lake. There are bills in
the Senate that need to be sup-
ported that will help lake proper-
ty owners maintain clean uninfec-
ted lakes including SB 5742 and
SB 5424.
Linda Reid (427-1894), presi-
dent of the Mason Lake Milfoil
Committee and April Cassell
(426-5982), secretary, can give
you more information about the
bills and where they are in com-
mittee. The milfoil committee has
also established a fund to help de-

urday, may be sent to Mason

Ducks and grebes are not the
only things floating around in the
water this month. Isabelle and
Jim Reece (426-3743) have a
floating dock about 8' by 10' that
they retrieved from the water. It
is now on their lake front proper-
ty. Call if your dock floated away.
This is the last opportunity to
help out for the benefit for the
North Mason Food Bank. Spon-
sored by the Mason Benson Club,
everyone's invited to the Grape-
view Community Club potluck
dinner on Friday, March 19,
(which is tomorrow!). Bring hot
dishes and other tbod that will
help feed yourselves and 17 mem-

Herald Highlights
Allan Kadra, of Belfair, has
lived in this area since 1961. He
retired as a Toolmaker Foreman
from Keyport in 1985.
Allan was born and raised in
Boston, Massachusetts, and you
can still hear that Boston accent
when he speaks. He grew up with
Allan Kadra
one brother and four sisters. His
first nine years of schooling were
in a parochial school, and his last
three at Boston Trade High
School, where he graduated after
studying carpentry.
Allan has two daughters: Deb-
bie Wells of Lynch Cove, Belfair,
and Annie Borgens of East Brem-
erton. He also has a son, Corey
Allan Michaels, who lives in Taco-
ma. Between Allan and his wife
Betty, they have 26 grandchil-
dren and 6 great-grandchildren.
One special member of the
household is his 11/2-year-old
Yorkie named Maggie Lou, "the
most spoiled dog in the whole
world," he says.
He enjoys fishing, hunting and
camping. He does a lot of work in
his shop at home, making all
kinds of furiture, especially
things for the grandkids. Among
his products are picnic tables and

giving. He has also picked up an
occasional odd job to build a ga-
rage or a deck, he said.
The thing he hates the most is
stereotyping. He thinks it is
wrong to speak ofan entire group
of people as though they were all
the same.
Allan's immediate goal is to get
over the latest injury that has
caused him to spend way too
much time in bed, and get back to
the camping trips with his friends

would be interested in a benefit

fund. The Mason County Retired
Teacher's Association (MCRTA) is
planning a garage and collectible
sale on Friday, April 2, at the
Shelton Armory from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. When you see "collectible"
you think there might be some-
thing to purchase for one dollar or
less that might turn out to be a
priceless item. Put this date on
your calendar and come and look
and buy.
Please note that NO hard
cooked eggs will be needed this
year for the Easter Egg Hunt on
April 3. Only plastic eggs will be
used. Betty Hussey has been in
charge of this day in the past,
along with other helpers, but Bet-

Herald Highlights
Allan Kadra, of Belfair, has
lived in this area since 1961. He
retired as a Toolmaker Foreman
from Keyport in 1985.
Allan was born and raised in
Boston, Massachusetts, and you
can still hear that Boston accent
when he speaks. He grew up with
Allan Kadra
one brother and four sisters. His
first nine years of schooling were
in a parochial school, and his last
three at Boston Trade High
School, where he graduated after
studying carpentry.
Allan has two daughters: Deb-
bie Wells of Lynch Cove, Belfair,
and Annie Borgens of East Brem-
erton. He also has a son, Corey
Allan Michaels, who lives in Taco-
ma. Between Allan and his wife
Betty, they have 26 grandchil-
dren and 6 great-grandchildren.
One special member of the
household is his 11/2-year-old
Yorkie named Maggie Lou, "the
most spoiled dog in the whole
world," he says.
He enjoys fishing, hunting and
camping. He does a lot of work in
his shop at home, making all
kinds of furiture, especially
things for the grandkids. Among
his products are picnic tables and

rocking horses. Most are for gift
giving. He has also picked up an
occasional odd job to build a ga-
rage or a deck, he said.
The thing he hates the most is
stereotyping. He thinks it is
wrong to speak ofan entire group
of people as though they were all

Allan's immediate goal is to get

in the Gypsy Roamers.

as well as other collectors, who
would be interested in a benefit
for the association's scholarship
fund. The Mason County Retired
Teacher's Association (MCRTA) is
planning a garage and collectible
sale on Friday, April 2, at the
Shelton Armory from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. When you see "collectible"
you think there might be some-

less that might turn out to be a
priceless item. Put this date on
your calendar and come and look
and buy.
Please note that NO hard
cooked eggs will be needed this
year for the Easter Egg Hunt on
April 3. Only plastic eggs will be
used. Betty Hussey has been in
charge of this day in the past,
along with other helpers, but Bet-

swers to inquirers about this spe-
cial day. Call 426-6919.
