the place. One, design uses this
wide walkway to convey people
from a parking lot near the dog
building to a rodeo arena that
looms over the fairgrounds like
an equine Taj Mahal. The other
design runs the same promenade
in another direction, conveying pe-
destrians from another parking lot
near the llama building and past
the rodeo arena to the outskirts of
a mud bog.
In response to a question from
the gathering, the architect ex-
plained that a mud bog is a place
with "a great deal of noise and
mud and cheering" where opera-
tot's of oif-road vehicles can show
off their motoring skills. "It's a re-
ally good day if you get stuck in
the mud and all your ii'iends are
there to see it. That's a mud bog,"
Pardini said.
tie said the idea for the prom-
enade comes iYom the skid roads
loggers once used when hauling
their logs about, but called it "the
major way" instead because skid
roads are associated with flophous-
es, gill mills, houses of ill repute
and people who have hit the skids.
"We didn't want to call it Skid
Road because that has a negative
connotation," he said. "The major
way is the organizing device that
things are organized around."
Along the proposed way may be
found proposed buildings suitable
tbr cattle, llamas, guinea pigs, ca-
vies and pocket pets. However, a
proposal to shelter sheep and goats
in the same building was ques-
tioned by a self-described "goat
person" who said the two species
get along in general but find them-
selves at odds when it comes to
the thermostat, given that shorn
sheep like it hot and goats like it
cold.
THE ARCHITECT reflected
on this problem while others in
Memorial Hall ran neither hot nor
cold on the matter of sheep and
goats. Pardini stood by an ear-
lier remark he had made in his
greeting to the group. "You have
to think about details, but you
also have to think big and not let
the details overwhelm you. We're
thinking big," he said.
One big thought is that the lair-
grounds have a visual theme which
recalls the county's logging his-
tory and a layout that amounts to
"an intuitive road map." Such fea-
tures are in contrast to the present
ihirgrounds, which are larger but
somewhat haphazard in that struc-
tures wet'(, built there over time by
convicts and volunteer labor. Par-
dini proposes a design that calls
for a new museum building that is
reminiscent of a bunkhouse of the
kind that might have been found in
an old logging camp.

kum Rotary made the point that
the shellfish industry in Mason
County predates logging by many
years, given that Indian tribes

complaint came in from a caller
on the other side of the city who
reported seeing an individual with
a gas mask and a rifle at Hay and
Wilson streets. Officers respond-
ing to the scene talked with Mi-
chael Warf, who reportedly said
he received a mask and rifle from
Matson and Douglas. E.M. identi-
fied the rifle and gas mask as his.
Detectives tiarry Heldreth
and Paul Campbell reported see-
ing three men downtown prior
to lunch and said two of them
were pulling lime-green suitcases
matching those reported stolen.
One man had a Mohawk haircut
and the ether had short, dark
hair, Dehning noted. Around 8
p.m. Matson reportedly called his
mother and said he and Douglas
had found two suitcases in the
yoods.
Matson has a Mohawk and
Douglas has short, dark hair, ac-
cording to police. When the two
were questioned at the police sta-
tion they reportedly said they sold
movies taken from the Van Buren
residence to Kiss Me Boutique tbr
$22.
Judge Toni Sheldon appointed a
law firm to represent Douglas and
set bail at $2,500. She appointed
Ronald Sergi as defense attorney
fbr Matson and released Matson
on his promise to appear for future
court dates.
The judge ordered the teenag-
ers to have no contact with each
other and said they cannot go to
1518 Van Buren Avenue or the
Kiss Me Boutique. Douglas and
Matson are scheduled for arraign-
ment on June 18.

long betbre the paleihce started
mowing down the trees.
"One of the problems with the
present fairgrounds is mixing ani-
mals with cooking," Faughender
said.
THIS IS A retirence to last
year's etTort by the county to ad-
dress certain hygienic problems
that complicated the staging of
OysterFest, an annual event or-
ganized by the Skookum that has
been the biggest thing at the fair-
grounds for quite some time. Pad-
rini said there is room tbr a size-
able kitchen at the hub of the fair-
grounds in a building across the
major way from the rodeo arena.
Plans also call for buildings to
accommodate still-litb displays of
arts and crafts and all sorts of ani-
mals, with the swine house close
to a parking lot to minimize the
problems which may occur when
moving around these sometimes
grumpy creatures. Both schemes
call for an outdoor amphitheater
with seating for up to '3,000 peo-
ple and a restaurant or a cotte
shop which may be situated next
to the amphitheater or next to the
museum. The museum option has
the advantage of attracting more
tbot traffic to the restaurant and
of situating the vittles close to
the county shop, there to nourish
the county workers who will be
around when the fairgrounds are
unoccupied.
Mike Fredson of the Mason
County Historial Society quizzed
Pardini about plans tbr the mu-
seum, and R. Jeanne Rehwaldt of
the Master Gardeners wanted to
know where the flowers would go.
The answer is they would be plant-
ed in numerous smaller patches of
dirt.
"The t:acility is envisioned to
be a regional attraction. In other
words, it will be a step up, a major
to attract regional or even nation-
al talent."
DICK OLTMAN of Skookum
Rotary made the point that "the
county is going to want this thing
to be profitable." He said that hav-
ing parking places tbr 500 rec-
reational vehicles would be very
helpful in this regard.
"This is the least expensive way
to get things going," he said. "They
