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.

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

Betty G. Olson
Betty G. OIson, of McMinn-

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. (And I hope
you liked the book!)

Do You Know Why?
ANDREW SCOTT wen and Shauna Irene Steele will
marry on Saturday, July 26.
Owen, Steele set date
Andrew Scott Owen, son of
Debbie Owen of Belfair and Curt
Owen of Poulsbo, is engaged to
marry Shauna Irene Steele on
Saturday, June 26, 1999.
Shauna, daughter of Mark and
Betty Jo Steele of Silverton, Ore-
gon, is a graduate of Silverton
High School and Northwest Col-
lege, and is currently attending
Chemeketa Community College
in Salem, Oregon.
Andrew graduated from North
Mason High School in 1997, at-
tended Northwest College, and is
now enrolled at Chemeketa Com-
munity College. The couple are
planning to marry in Stayton, Or-
egon.
DAN PETERS, of Belfair, is the editor of a new Internet maga-
zine, or "web-zine," called Nine Dart News. This monthly publi-
cation covers both Mason and Kitsap counties, with local to na-
tional dart shoot reports, tournaments, hints on strategy and
equipment previews.
It is targeted to players from beginners to veterans, and all
ages, from 8 to 108, according to Peters.
"Nine Dart News is in existence to hopefully dispel the old
stereotype that darts is a game only played in dark taverns by
mostly intoxicated bar patrons," Peters said. "It was also created
t5 inform the public about a really fun sport that just doesn't get
the attention it so well deserves."
He is accepting advertising to put on the web site, and also
has many links to other relevant sites, with more added month-
ly. Additionally, there is a forum section for those wishing to
give their opinions on any dart-related topics.
To access Nine Dart News, go to http:Hwww.hurricane.
net/~djpeters/index.html. "With more of the public using
computers and getting on-line, the publication could be seen by
millions of web surfers," Peters said optimistically.
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. The timing was right, and Nelson was
ready to go to work for himself.
A 1995 graduate of North Mason High School, he is a busi-
ness student at Olympic College.
Dehydrated foods were thought of as predominantly for camp-
ing, he said, but now people are using them for disaster prepar-
edness, including, of course, the much-talked-about Year 2000.
He deals exclusively with products from the Utah supplier, he
said, because "they are the most nutritious of dehydrated foods
there is." 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. (And those
are 1999 prices for dehydrated foods that can be stored for 20
years.)
Caleb Nelson of Harvest Essentials, whose business card
reads, "It tastes good and doesn't cost a lot," can be reached at
(360) 731-6710.

gon, is a graduate of Silverton

DAN PETERS, of Belfair, is the editor of a new Internet maga-
zine, or "web-zine," called Nine Dart News. This monthly publi-
cation covers both Mason and Kitsap counties, with local to na-
tional dart shoot reports, tournaments, hints on strategy and
equipment previews.
It is targeted to players from beginners to veterans, and all
ages, from 8 to 108, according to Peters.
"Nine Dart News is in existence to hopefully dispel the old
stereotype that darts is a game only played in dark taverns by
mostly intoxicated bar patrons," Peters said. "It was also created
t5 inform the public about a really fun sport that just doesn't get
the attention it so well deserves."
He is accepting advertising to put on the web site, and also
has many links to other relevant sites, with more added month-
ly. Additionally, there is a forum section for those wishing to
give their opinions on any dart-related topics.
To access Nine Dart News, go to http:Hwww.hurricane.
net/~djpeters/index.html. "With more of the public using
computers and getting on-line, the publication could be seen by
millions of web surfers," Peters said optimistically.
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. The timing was right, and Nelson was
ready to go to work for himself.
A 1995 graduate of North Mason High School, he is a busi-
ness student at Olympic College.
Dehydrated foods were thought of as predominantly for camp-
ing, he said, but now people are using them for disaster prepar-
edness, including, of course, the much-talked-about Year 2000.
He deals exclusively with products from the Utah supplier, he
said, because "they are the most nutritious of dehydrated foods
there is." 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. (And those
are 1999 prices for dehydrated foods that can be stored for 20
years.)
Caleb Nelson of Harvest Essentials, whose business card
reads, "It tastes good and doesn't cost a lot," can be reached at
