Mount Olive&apos;s Faith and Fun Days slated "Put On the Whole Armor of God," Mount Olive Lutheran Church's fifth annual Faith and Fun Days event, will run on the mornings of April 19, 20 and 21 at the church. The training program in the fashion of a vacation Bible school is tbr children of kinder- garten age through fifth grade. It will run from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. To preregister children, par- ents can call Lorilyn Rogers at 427-8344 or Lisa Kasperski at 427-2628. The church is at 206 East Wyandotte in Shelton. Saint David's classes will focus on worship Saint David's Episcopal Church, as part of' each Sun- day's worship from Easter through Pentecost, is using prayers for the wider commu- nity which were developed by the members in a special class held in March. A new series of three classes on the traditions of the liturgi- cal church is scheduled for the last Monday in April and the first two Mondays in May. Fa- ther Don Maddux will teach the series, whose sessions will begin with Eucharist at 6 p.m. and continue through a provid- ed dinner and informal discus- sion April 26 and May 3 and 10. The sessions are held in the church hall at 218 North Third Street. New director named for child evangelism Child Evangelism Fellow- day, April 25.

ONRC contracted with Battelle and Elway to assist with involv- ing the public in considering wolf reintroduction. The result was a series of interviews and a trio of "town meetings" using the Elec- tronic Group Interaction System. INTERVIEWS WERE with "people associated with tourism, logging, economic development, environmental organizations, rec- reational clubs, agriculture and local government," according to the study documents. From those interviews, ONRC, Battelle and Elway Research staffers extracted 72 specific comments to which they asked audience response, via handheld electronic gadgets, in Shelton, Hoquiam and Forks. In the Shelton session, some participants expressed disgust with some of the statements. The team found even stronger opin- ions elsewhere, Calhoun said. "We stated at the outset that the purpose of the meetings was to determine and define what citi- zens thought needed to be taken into account .... It was necessary to remind participants of the ori- gin of the statements, particular- ly those with which they vehe- mently disagreed," said the sum- mary report. Interviewees to whom state- ments were attributed included an ONRC staffer recently moved to Forks from Tacoma, the presi- dent of the Westend Sportsmen's Club, a Forks businessman, a third-generation Hoh rancher, the city clerk-treasurer from Forks, a Forks bed-and-breakfast owner, a dean of Peninsula College in Port Angeles, a Rayonier timberland manager from Forks, and the head of the United Way organiza- tion in Port Angeles. INTERVIEWED AS a group were five individuals represent- ing the Washington Commercial Forest Action Council, all from the west side of the peninsula; the Quilleute Tribe's director of natural resources; a hunter and lifelong Aberdonian; a wildlife bi- ologist and Audubon Society member from Sequim; a Grays Harbor County commissioner; the manager of Lake Quinault Lodge; a Sequim writer and member of Olympic Park Associates; and a natural resource education pro- gram manager from Port Angeles. Only two Mason County names were listed in the interview pro- cess: Senator Tim Sheldon, execu- tive director of the Economic De- velopment Council of Mason County, and Gerry Ring Erickson, PhD, a member of Defenders of Wildlife from Shelton. The researchers indicated that little common ground appeared among interviewees excerpt an appreciation of the Olympic Pen- insula's natural environment, its recreational opportunities and aesthetic values: a "good quality of life" and a sense of community. IF THAT SENSE of communi- ty appeared at the public forums, however, it was in terms of sides: results of the three meetings - 00'00ren't the iss echoed those in Shelton, with re- sponses to most of the statements grouped at each side, strongly agreeing and strongly disagree- ing, with little middle ground. "Planning that is focused on the rightness of science and ex- pert decision-making to the exclu- sion of social values and social justice will constantly run into a skeptical public that believes agency decisions are pre-made," the Battelle researchers wrote in the wrap-up report. "They resort ...to trumpeting their values, their disdain for the process they are attending, and their cohesion to their community of interest." However, the team hoped the electronic forum gave the partici- pants a sense that their responses were being taken seriously. "A leap into identifying more broadly supported natural re- source policies or a common Olympic National Park future will encounter inertia or... fear of learning what people really believe," noted the compilers. "We believe, from our experi- ence in Shelton, Hoquiam and Forks, that the park and other agencies could engage citizens in a vigorous exploration that would be constructive for both the park and fi)r the environmental and economic health of Olympic Pen- insula communities," they wrote. The polling experience, the sci- entists said, wasn't about wolves. It was, Calhoun affirmed last week, about the governmental de- cision-making process, and the public perception of that process. Forest board sets salmon rules get Sound chinook and Hood Ca- nal summer chum. More proposed listings are in the works, said Cindy Joy Neff of DNR. The state now has 18 salmonid species which the new rule will protect, Neff said. The new forest practices rule supercedes an emergency rule es- tablished last November. A "salmonid listed areas" map The Washington Department of Natural Resources announced recently that the state's Forest Practices Board, an independent state agency, has adopted a "new and comprehensive" emergency rule to protect the newly listed endangered salmon species. The rule, which went into ef- fect April 6, provides additional fi)rest practices protection for Pu- City says 'no' to annexation query city commission. "I always have a concern when the county and tax- ing districts lose more tax base," Rae wrote. "Fire District 5 has been on and off of registered war- rants for some time." The fire dis- trict also has bonds for 1996 and 1997 to pay for, Rae noted. Those are paid from the general fund of the district and are not levied as bond funds. State law states the outstand- ing indebtedness is not affected, Rae wrote. "(Mason County As- sessor) Dixie Smith is checking with the Washington State De- partment of Revenue to see if a new taxing district would be es- tablished and some of this debt remain with the property being annexed," her letter added. (Continued from page 1.) developed as a planned unit de- wflopment, which would include single-family homes and multi- family units, the potential is some 3,000 housing units. IN A LETTER to Rogerson, Gary Yando, director of Mason County's Department of Commu- nity Development, said county commissioners had concerns about the creation of an island of unincorporated land. "If indeed there remains an island, then the (county commissioners) would re- quest that the annexation, as pro- posed, not be approved until all of the property could be annexed," Yando wrote.

It requires ad- ditional environmental review for harvest of trees or the building of roads within 100 feet of fish-bear- ing streams and within 200 feet in other areas identified on the map. It also reqdires the develop- ment of forest road plans and the provision of additional shade trees along streams. The rule ap- plies to 8.4 million acres of non- federal forest land in Washington. The Forest Practices Board, Neff said, has been deliberating a longer-term salmonid rule. Five different proposals are currently under consideration for develop- ment of permanent forest-prac- tices rules to meet the needs of both the Endangered Species Act and the Clean Water Act. As part of that effort, Neff noted, the board has asked DNR staff to "scope out" five conceptual proposals and a "no action" alter- native reflecting current forest practices rules. The board has se- lected a proposal sent out by a group of stakeholders represent- ing landowners, state and federal agencies and some tribes and counties, also known as the For- ests and Fish Report, as its "preferred alternative," lff said.
