HOMELITE CUB SCOUTS lined up for a nractice run before the local 1975 Cub Scout Olympics held last Saturday at the high school track field. By ELEANORA FEDENK CR 5-2774 It is happy swimtime at Mission, Tiger and Panther Lakes. Don Bennett, environmental health specialist for the Bremerton-Kitsap County Health Department, has rated these lakes as "Class AA" and that is absolute tops. Mr. Bennett has a quarterly schedule taking samples from each of the lakes and streams. Tests are made for coliform bacteria, dissolved oxygen, temperature, PH, color, turbidity and sometimes the nitrate and phosphate content. That helps gather information as to runoff into lakes and streams of lawn fertilizer used in abundance. That has been a going question adding to the coliform count. There was concern the past two years as to the rising coliform count in Tiger Lake. That count has dropped for the current extraordinary rating. Part of the problem during that time was the dry summer, plus an influx of seagulls and ducks joining the fun of the waterski buffs. Tahuya River was rated "'Class A," excellent. Union River tests were "Class B," or good. Both ratings are safe for swimming or general recreation. When the rating of any water drops below these standards, a close check is made as to the why and wherefore. Often this has been found to be from streams picking up contamination flowing through farm areas or populated areas and then emptying into large bodies of water. Mr. Bennett will have another report later in the summer as tests are being made daily. He reports that the lake results are the cleanest in many years. Monitoring the lakes more often, giving closer attention to existing and new sewage disposal systems along the shores, and people concern have been a great help in keeping the water safe. The next few weeks will move all too slowly for Mr. and Mrs. Edward Schneckloth as their son Randy and his wife plan a visit about Aug. i. Randy went into the Air Force right after graduation from North Mason High in ! 970. His last visit home was in December of 1972. He has been stationed in Crete for four years, working in communications. Upon his marriage he took extended leave to stay on in Crete to be with his wife, Bernadine, a sergeant in the Air Force. Both have completed their service hitch, and have plans to make their home in this area while attending Olympic College. They toured Spain for three weeks before returning to the States in June and are now visiting with her folks at Westbrook, Maine. A long distance call from Maine gave news of other visits before their arrival in Belfair. Their route will take them to Alabama to visit Randy's sister, Lora Williams, an aunt, Mrs. Dick Smith in Kansas, and relatives in Colorado. The Martin Tates, formerly of Bear Creek, are happily settled in their new mobile home quarters at Cinnebar. They are enjoying the busy routine of changing closets around and having close family members across the backyard for daily chats or to borrow the proverbial cup of sugar. The Tares sent a "hello and come see us" greeting by way of Ted and Betty Howerton to their North Mason fellow members of the VFW, Friends of the Library, Twanoh Grange and Young at Heart Club. Their address is Box 17, Cinnebar, WA 98533. They can be called on the family extension phone 985-2277.
