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

a bonus day of fishing on Saturday,

Harvest on the second Wednes-
day of the fbur-day Saturday

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-

Clean water initiative to
begin with Oakland
By REBECCA WELLS
A new effort is under way to
protect area waters at risk of non-
point pollution. 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.

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.
The historical society is show-
ing the film as a fund-raiser at
7:30 p.m. Friday, June 1, in the
CHOICE Alternative School Audi-
