Letters to the editor... Supports Grapeview bus drivers Editor, Belfair Herald: United Food and Commercial Workers Local 381 (UFCW) rep- resents me as an employee of Bremerton Ambulance, but four years ago I was a school bus driv- er tbr the Grapeview School Dis- trict. I was part of the first group of classified employees that ini- tiated union representation and met with a UFCW Union Repre- sentative. I have followed the plight of the Grapeview school bus drivers since leaving my position at Grapeview School. I was very glad to see the article in the Bel- fair Herald that addressed the is- sue of the drivers not being able to form a union. This has been in the works for over four years, and it's time this receives some atten- tion and support. Dee Kepner and Sue Friedlan- der are truly dedicated to their jobs, and provide the best services possible to the Grapeview stu- dents that they transport. I worked with them for several years as a Grapeview school bus driver. I also loved my job, but I had to leave my job there, as there were safety concerns that were not be- ing addressed. If I had had union representation during my employ- ment, the children might have traveled to and from school with greater safety and my working environment might also have been healthier. Grapeview residents need to support their children's needs by supporting the bus drivers, and the board needs to quit stalling and approve the Union Security clause. Kelly Harrison Belfair i Letters from Linda By LINDA THOMSON Dear Granny H., Your birthday is coming up soon, and I treasure my memories of times the family celebrated all kinds of events together in the past. We had some great picnics, dinners and adventures. It was just prior to my wedding 33 years ago that I first remem- ber your telling me some details about people from our family tree. Now I am considered the resident expert, the "curator of the family history museum." You helped spark that interest in me, and I owe you so much for your forth- rightness, honesty and detailed memory. You've given us all a heritage we can continue to share with future generations. You told me so many interest- ing stories including some that were not especially flattering to yourself. You told me about your marriage to Grandpa J. (which was not good), your divorce (which was not socially acceptable in those days), about my mother's childhood and of so many other times. I PARTICULARLY enjoyed hearing about when you were a little girl, about the exploits of you and your siblings, and about memories of your mother. Then there was the tragedy of her early death, followed by memories of BUSINESS BEAT LEGAL NOTICES Obituaries Betty G. Olson Betty G. OIson, of McMinn- ville, Oregon, died there on Sun- day, March 14. She was 66 years old, Mrs. Olson, daughter of Clarence and May Henningsen, was born October 26, 1932, in Glasgow, Montana. In 1940, she moved to Belfair, graduating from South Kitsap High School (SKHS):in 1950. She married Rodger Olson on January 20, 1956, in Belfair. Mrs. Olson was employed by SKHS, then Titan Chain Saw. She later worked for the Federal your sometimes-cruel step-mom. I was angered at the sad tale of Aunt Helmi's coming to visit and kissing you kids while you slept, because she was not permitted to wake you up or to make a return visit. I'm so glad you sought out a relationship with your mom's sister when you were grown, be- cause otherwise I would have missed my own fond memories of that dear Finnish woman. And I know that she was one of the first-hand sources who knew about your parents back in the old country. I loved learning of the court- ship between you and my mom's step-dad, my Grandpa H. (You two were married 59 years, and that's not bad tbr the second time around, or the first.) Eventually I began to keep notes, and actually interviewed you a couple of times. Then, last January, I took the opportunity to write your life story. I got your nieces, daughters and all the grandkids to write letters telling how you had influenced them. And, on your 94th birthday in 1998, I shared "our" book with all the relatives. WE HAD GATHERED on that day at your church for your memorial service, two months af- ter your death. It was a special time to celebrate having known Bureau of Investigation for several years. She was also em- ployed by the US Navy, and the Presbyterian Church in Seattle. In 1.960 she moved to Sealy Lake, Montana, and in 1962 to Cle Elum. She became a resident in Oregon in 1969, first in Mau- pin, then in McMinnville. Mrs. Olson was a member of the Bethel Baptist Church in Mc- Minnville. She was also involved with child evangelism and Bible Study Fellowship. She taught bi- ble study for women and children, and enjoyed sewing and garden- ing. She had beautiful flower and vegetable gardens. such a wonderful lady. The sto- ries we heard that day! They were all great memories, showing your strong faith, your ability to bounce back, your great capacity to love, and your sense of humor. But things had changed in the past few years of your life. As my sister said in her letter, making reference to your last years with Alzheimer's, "I've missed her for many years." We all had. Grandma, you continue to be such a great influence on all of us. I remember how you treated us kids as though we were just as important as the grown-ups were. That made me feel special, and I try to show children that same re- spect today. But I especially want to thank you for your example of forgiving those who had hurt you, and of seeking reconciliation, thus re- deeming friendships that could easily have been tossed out for good. As an overcomer, you are a wonderful role model for me. AS WE HERE remember the 95th anniversary of your birth, I know you will be having another happy birthday in heaven, whis- tling joyfully along with God's heavenly choir. I love you, Granny.

HARVEST ESSENTIALS is the name of a dehydrated food company owned and operated by Caleb Nelson of Allyn. His products are for camping, emergency supply or daily use, he said. He was encouraged to look into the idea by an uncle who had invested in a dehydrated food company in Utah which now sup- plies Harvest Essentials.

He said others have two percent water content, but the ones he sells have 35 percent water content. That results, he said, "in leaving the majority of the vitamins and minerals in." All the products have a 20-year shelf life. There are nine dif- ferent soups, such as clam chowder, cream of potato, and chili; and six different entrees, like lasagne and stroganoff. They are all low or no fat, and completely vegetarian. The directions are simple: "Add water, boil for 20 minutes." Nelson indicated that the cream soups are a good base for a one- pot meal. All the food is sold in case lots, at $90 per case for the soups, and $210 per case for the entrees. That would make the per ser- ving prices 75 cents for soup and $1.75 for an entree.
