Page A-34 - Shelton-Mason County Journal Thursday, July 2, 2020 HARSTINE NEWS The island’s beautiful flowers and a fond farewell year the wildflowers along the island roads are more prevalent and just so much more exciting. Thousands of long-stemmed Shasta daisies have grown in hordes with no idea of social distancing. Their white petals surround a gold- en eye that seems to watch and follow as I drive past in my car. And these daisies are complemented by various hues of purple foxgloves. These tall, stately plants rise up above the daises and the grasses and yell back at me. The wind blows the sway of the tall against the short and there is rhythm Idon’t know why, but this By MIKE CALLAGHAN community hall is construct- ed there won’t be a need to borrow a lot of money. The plan is to build a new com— munity hall behind the fire station that is next to our century-old hall. No, there is no plan to tear down or discard the current hall. The new hall will be larger and more modern and be able to keep up with the population growth of our island. The old hall is the cornerstone of the Harst- ine Island community and with care it will continue that role for the next 100 years. The new hall would relieve some of the day-to-day wear our pres- ing it through your RMD (required minimum distribution). You can con- tribute cash and make out your check now to HICC and mail it to: Trea— surer, HICC, P.O. Box 1635, Shelton, curve. In 1955, my grandparents bought a lake property on Hicks Lake in Thurston County. I grew up on the lake spending almost every sum— WA 98584. On the check in the “For” line, write: 2nd Century Building Fund Donation.” Can you believe that a year ago, June 14, was the 50th anniversary of the Harstine Island Bridge celebra- tion parade? Sandy Murphy led a committee to make that big celebra— tion a reality. The parade started around 4 pm. and marched across the Harstine Island Bridge and met at the community hall. It was a great _ day. I don’t know how to start this paragraph as I think it is going to be my last paragraph for the Harst— ine Island article in the Journal. As many of you know, Judy and I have sold our log home. We have been renting and waiting for the right home to become available here on the island. However, life has thrown us a mer of my youth there and most of my adult life Visiting. The family home has been passed down to my brother. Well, the property right next to him became available and with the encouragement all of our family we decided to buy it. We are now only minutes away from our kids and a few steps away from my brother. It will be tough — very tough — to leave Harstine Island. Judy and I have so many memories of great times with so many great friends here. And hopefully we can add to those memories as we plan on coming back as often as we can. I have greatly enjoyed writing this article over the past 12 years and I will miss doing that. ent hall endures. There is a conceptual drawing of what the new hall might look like. This drawing is just the beginning idea and not set in stone so as we move forward things will change as do the island’s needs. The 2nd Cen- tury Fund can provide you an oppor- tunity to lay your own cornerstone in giving future generations a place to grow and thrive. You can do this by making a tax—deductible donation in most any form: cash now or leave a donation in your will to become a legacy donor. You can create a me— morial to honor an islander by using the tax status of the foundation to reduce taxes through gifts of ap- preciated stocks and mutual funds. Another consideration — you may be able to save tax dollars by contribut- ing IRA and 401(k) funds by direct- to the beat makes a song for the rise of summer heat. It looks like someone borrowed the White canoe that was set out in the triangle. I’m guessing that once they got it home and put it in the water, they noticed that it didn’t have a bot- tom and that’s not good if you plan to paddle in these chilly Puget Sound waters. Michelle and Randy put the canoe there as a decoration. Due to suspicions that someone might want to take it, Randy took his jigsaw and cut two big holes in the bottom. It was good that the canoe was only bor- rowed and they put it back in place. With so many events canceled here on the island, one ongoing event has been lost in the shuffle, the 2nd Cen- tury Fund.
