"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.

Committee member 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 ~for Cemetery District 1, Jo.,.~,i~ position two for Hospital Mason Colmty Auditol~'District number 2, position Karen Herr said that 4 at the Southside School six positions are still ~ District, position 2 at the unfilled after the ~Maggie Lake Water Dis- county had a special trict, and position 3 at the three-day filing period Tahuya River Valley Wa- for the upcoming ter District. 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, !
