Dugout? Dig it! A youngster exits the dugout on the first-base side of the baseball diamond at Callanan Park. The Kristmas- town Kiwanis will be stepping up to the plate with plans to improve the dugout area. Funds are gener- ated by Bluegrass in the Forest, which is the subject of a story on page 32. i.00;tlrimpers may get oonus day of frenzy Brinnon is gearing up for ShrimpFest, and shrimpers are holding out hope tbr another day of fishing on Hood Canal. Therese Cain, a shellfish biolo- gist at Point Whitney, said Monday that the catch thus t'ar has been below the quota set tbr the annual recreational shrimp fishery. Yes- terday was to be the last day of the season, but returns through Sat- urday indicate the catch was only 58,803 pounds, and that leaves almost 26,200 pounds of the recre- ational share. Depending on the size of the take on May 16, resource managers with the.Washington Department offish and Wildlife may authorize a bonus day of fishing on Saturday, May 19, or Wednesday, May 23. Harvest on the second Wednes- day of the fbur-day Saturday and Wednesday shrimp fishery has ranged f?om 8,000 to 13,000 pounds over the last three years, Cain said. She said it is "uncertain what impact" the low tides of yes- terday would have on the catch. A DECISION ON if and when to add a fifth day of shrimping should be made midday today, which is Thursday, May 17. Details will be announced on the state hotline: 1- 866-880-,)431. ShrimpFest will be held in Brinnon from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, May 26, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 27.

The Mason County Clean Water Initiative will focus on protecting not just waterways but also the shorelines, wetlands and forests that surround them. "The health and cleanliness of these waters fuels our economy, feeds our families, and lifts our spirits," Emmett Dobey, commu- nity development director, said in a prepared statement. "It makes sense to focus our re- sources on monitoring and protect- ing these waters while they are in pretty good shape, because clean up is difficult and costly," Ma- son County Commissioner Lynda Ring-Erickson said, also in a pre- pared statement. During a regular meeting on Tuesday the Mason County Com- mission took a first step towards protecting local waters by desig- nating Oakland Bay as an initial focus area for the initiative. GIVEN TWO shellfish protec- tion district options within the Goldsborough Watershed, com- missioners selected a larger area covering the lower portion of Oakland Bay, including the City of Shelton's Urban Growth Area and part of Chapman Cove. This district contains approximately 3,105 septic systems. The other option, which involved the north- ern end of the bay as well as sev- eral residential areas, including Lake Limerick, Spencer Lake and Timberlakes, contains 1,680 septic systems. "It would be irresponsible not to take action based on what we know about the declining health of Mason County's waters. The com- mercial shellfish industry alone contributes $20 million annually to our local economy," Ring-Erick- son added. "This industry relies on clean water." A committee of residents, busi- ness owners, local, state, federal and tribal government is devel- oping the Clean Water Initiative. This initiative will focus on fixing and preventing the pollution prob- lems that threaten local water- ways. "We need everyone's good ideas as we develop the Clean Water Initiative," Dobey continued. THIS SUMMER partners in this effort will attend local meet- ings and community events, and visit homes to find out how to bet- ter protect Mason County waters from pollution. In attendance at the meeting on May 15 were Chapman Cove resi- dents John and Becky Rogers, who spoke up in defense of farmers and horse owners in the area. Mr. Rog- ers said he owns horses and has been in the farming business since 1950. Concerns about water polluting the shellfish caused brother's farm to go out of ness in the neighborhood, and! they feel threatened. Nevertheless, he said, water samples in his area only one out of seven testS this was after a week and a of rain. He has not had cattle on this property for two years, and yet fecal amounts have risen, he noted. Mrs. Rogers said building' tractors who fail to take per€ t during realistic weather (Please turn to page .) Rerun of Ring of Fire to benefit Historical Society The Mason County Histori- cal Society will present an encore showing of the 1960 movie, Ring of Fire, on Friday, June 1. Ring of Fire was partially filmed in Mason County, and the climac- tic scene of the burning and col- lapse of a train and trestle across the Wynoochee River was shot just west of here in Grays Harbor County. A number of Mason County people worked both behind the scenes and as movie extras during filming. Several members of the Mason County Sheriffs Office had small parts in the movie.
