He would have been born May 15, 1845, and like- wise would have been 16 when the Civil War started. He also wondered if "Vt. Inf' might have stood tbr Volunteer Infantry in- stead of' Vermont Infantry. Since I can't surf the water I went surfin' the Internet and much to my surprise I found the old fellow. I searched the Civil War, but wasn't successful, so fig- ured, that was that. The last thing I tried was searching for Vermont on the web and then sub searched the Civil War. Success, boy was I surprised. Private Israel P. Taylor enlist- ed in Co. F - 5th Vermont Volun- teer Infantry Regiment. (We were both correct on that one Bob.) He was from Dorset, Vermont but en- listed at Cornwall, Vermont. The 5th Regiment from Ver- mont fought in over 30 major bat- tles from 1861 to 1865.

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- Garden club meets March 18 fray expenses and meet the matching funds required for the accepted grant proposal.

He thinks it is wrong to speak ofan entire group of people as though they were all the same.
