0.2." "Dad sits at home all day while
m at work. I'm afraid that he's just
wasting away. He can't do the things
he used to do and his friends are gone,
but he'd never go to a nursing home.
What can I do?"
For less than the cost of
the nursing home, your dad
can live with friends his age
at Alpine Way. Activities will
keep him busy and happy. He
can go for van rides, enjoy
events like Music in the Park
and Lion's Club'Iheatre, go
fishing, or stay in to play cards
and shoot the breeze about the good old days. All activities are
optional, so if he'd like some quiet time, he has his own private
apartment for relaxation.
If someone you know is stuck at home, come and tour Alpine Way.
We'd love to treat you to lunch, show you our lovely apartments,
and answer all your questions.

Andrew Graham said that
in some cases, the districts
just looked "goofy."
"No offense but they're
kind of goofy anyway," Ring
Erickson said.
The. commissioners also
debated about whether or
not it would be a good idea
to split up Shelton among
the districts.
"My personal belief is if
you have a concentrated
area, there's always con-
--fusion as to what district
you're in," Lingle said.
Sheldon said that because
Shelton is not currently di-
vided into voting districts,
because the Shelton City
Commissioners are elected
at large, it makes sense to
not split up the city.
"I think for the city of
Shelton it would be better to
have one commissioner rep-
resent them," he said.
Because of all these
points, the commissioners
overwhelmingly preferred
option 2, which gave Shel-
don the entire west side of
the county and some land
north of Shelton, gave Lin-
gle all of Shelton, and gave
Ring Erickson Harstine Is-
land north to Allyn and Bel-
fair.
The County Commission
will hold a public hearing on
the reorganization of com-
missioner districts on July
26, but can't vote on any of
the options until a week af-
ter that date.
Six positions still open after filing period
By NATALIE JOHNSON
After a special three-day
filing period organized the
Mason County Auditor's
office, six positions will re-
main unfilled through the
general election.
The auditor's office had
the special filing period
to attract candidates for
seven county positions up
for election, including po-
'sitions one, two and three

election. Mason County Audi-
tor Karen Herr said that
only one person filed dur-
ing that period - Tommy
Thombs will run unap-
posed for the Hospital Dis-
trict 2 position.
"That will not be in the
primary election, it will go
straight to the November
general election," Herr said.
There are two options to
fill the six remaining posi-
tions, Herr said.
"For those positions the
incumbents can remain in
office for another term or
they can chose to resign
and the other commission-
ers can appoint someone,"
she said.
Appointed commission-
ers remain in their posi-
tions until the next general
election,
