00_ood Canal West: Weed biocontrol
00ort of Hoodsport planning is meeting topic
00[or tourism and transport
tions to benefit the restoration of
the Union Pioneer Cemetery. For
information, call Merlyn Flakus at
898-4922.
West Canal women walked
across the Narrows Bridge on its
opening day Sunday, July 15. Five
ladies from the Hoodsport TOPS
1225 group trekked across the
new 5,400-foot Tacoma Narrows
Bridge. Joining the other 10,000
walkers and runners crossing
the bridge were Evie Campbell,
Pat Sage, Evelyn Goetting, Karla
Dickson and Kathern Greathouse.
The bridge opened for business as
usual on Monday morning, collect-
ing tolls for the first time in de-
cades.
The Master Gardeners will con-
tinue to have their weekly plant
clinic at the Hood Canal Visitor
Information Center in downtown
Hoodsport. The clinic will open on
Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
THE LILLIWAUP Community
Club monthly meeting is held at
the Lilliwaup Community Center
located on Highway 101. The cen-
ter is an over-100-year-old school
which is being lovingly restored
- in the future it will be available
for rent.
The Lilliwaup Community Club
often has local historical presen-
tations during its meetings. This
month the potluck was desserts
and appetizers with wine tasting.
Hoodsport Winery supplied the
wine, along with some history of
the winery. Winery owners Peg-
gy and Dick Patterson began as
teachers, but decided during the
three summer months that making
wine would be a romantic activity.
Thirty years later they still make
it sound romantic. Peggy shared a
recipe for Island Belle salmon, an
easy salmon dish that makes :
4 bacon slices
z/2 C. minced parsley
4 salmon steaks
1 Tbsp. Island Belle wine
1/2 C. thinly sliced green onion
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 C. finely chopped walnuts
1/4 C. minced mushroom
Salt to taste
Fry bacon in medium-sized fry
pan until crisp. Remove bacon,
crumble and reserve it. Add salm-
on steaks to the pan and fry over
medium-low heat until they are
golden. Turn the steaks over and
fry until the salmon flakes easily.
Place the steaks on individual
plates and pour out all but 1 ta-
blespoon of bacon fat. Turn up
the heat to medium-high and add
onion, walnuts, mushrooms, pars-
ley and wine. Sautd, stirring for
30 seconds. Add bacon. Squeeze
the lemon juice over the sautded
ingredients. Salt to taste. Spoon
the sauce evenly over each of the
salmon steaks and serve accompa-
nied with scalloped potatoes and a
buttered green vegetable.

L Suramers on Hood Canal are
':]pusy every weekend. All of our
nlraunities seem happy to cel-
rate the beautiful weather and
D wonderful location.
B The Port of Hoodsport has been
_rking on its master planning
coraraendations. Included are
portunities for downtown Hood-
.rt, the parks, connectivity, ma-
vs. city dock, and property
Cqsition. A copy of the recom-
.edations and the report are
v.ailable through the port. The top
'oties are the public restrooms,
;arng and marine support facili-
-es in Hoodsport.
;7| The port's report states there
. a dual focus master plan. The
an states, "One focus is captur-
g more of the tourist dollar by
reproving the downtown Hood-
i I IPort area ... The objective is to
,e lave the Hoodsport/Lake Cush-
an area contain ample opportu-
ties for recreation and provide a
I ason to 'stay and play,' not just

. The second tbcus, according to
e plan, is for the local population
k'ld focuses on regional transpor-
tion. It states, "The commission-
see the potential to develop
transit hub(s) that can service
heir community both locally and
;M[egionally.,,
b,The report includes propos-
s for development of downtown
4dsport and a Hoodsport Trail

rOPosals.

.alub will hold an all-community
Otluck picnic at 4 p m. on Satur-
day, July 21, in the Union County
Ik. The Union County Park is
l eCated on Port Townsend Street
next Tuesday's meeting of the Ma-
son County Noxious Weed Control
Board.
Jennifer Andreas is Western
Washington project coordinator
for the Integrated Weed Control
Project for Washington State Uni-
versity Extension, which provides
land managers with control options
for noxious weed infestations• She
will be the guest of the weed board
at its meeting starting at 8 a.m.
July 24 in the county commission-
ers' chambers in Building i at 411
North Fifth Street in Shelton.
Described by The Seattle Times
as the "Bug Lady" .waging a war
on weeds, Andreas captured and
released over 41,000 insects at
124 sites in Western Washington
including Mason County last year.
She will discuss the use of biologi-
cal control agents - insects - to
control weed problems. The 30-
minute presentation will include
general inibrmation about biocon-
trol, what insects are available for
nine weed species, local uses and
biocontrol success in Washington
and other states.
Noxious weeds threaten valu-
able timberlands, decrease forage
for wildlife and livestock, increase
soil erosion, destroy wildlff habi-
tat and outcompete native plants,
reducing biodiversity. Biological
weed control - using insects - can
now supplement or replace herbi-
cides for controlling some noxious
weeds.
JENNIFER ANDREAS will
talk about biological con-
trois for noxious weeds at
Tuesday's Mason Coun-
try Noxious Weed Control
Board meeting.
For more information, attend
the meeting July 24 or contact
the Mason County Noxious Weed
Control Board at 427-9670, Exten-
sion 592, or (360) 275-4467, Exten-
sion 592. Employees are part time
and often in the field checking out
weeds, so don't be surprised when
you reach a message machine.
Someone will return your call
promptly.
The WSU Extension Office of
Mason County has brochures and
handouts listing noxious weeds
along with descriptions, pictures
and control options. The extension
office is located at 11840 North
Highway 101 in Shelton.

after all.
Gary Gribble had requested re-
zoning 6.82 acres of his property
in Potlatch from its current Rural
Residential 5 zone to Rural Tourist
Campground, but during a public
hearing on July 10, Mason County
commissioners voted unanimously
to deny his proposed rezone.
Gribble's request failed to meet
several criteria, such as restrictive
soil and geology and slopes where
landslides have occurred in the
last 15 years. Potential traffic im-
pacts were also a concern.
Several neighbors also person-
ally expressed their objections at
the hearing. Toshi Moriguchi of
Seattle co-owns property directly
across the street from Gribble and
read a statement written by his
partner, Douglas S. Palmer Jr.
They cited lack of compatibility
with the surrounding area's char-
acteristics and Skokomish tribal
interests as reasons they don't en-
dorse the rezone.
Marilyn Durand and Cliff Bre-
cht also spoke out against the re-
quest. They described the fragility
of the property and how it tends to
retain water. Durand also ques-
tioned how a campground would
affect safety in the neighborhood.
he
worked in the sewer and water
treatment business for years, said
while he would like the rezone
now, he wants to wait until the
county brings a sewage system
into the area in a few years before
developing. In the event the sew-
age system isn't installed after all,
Gribble said he would install his
own septic, but he would not be
developing in the locations on his
property where the soil is hazard-
ous, anyway.
He also provided pictures of
the property in question, showing
how his proposal would not impact
traffic conditions. Plus, he said, his
land is several hundred feet from
the area of the landslide, which oc-
curred years ago.

Automobile access to the site is
proposed to be through Wyandotte

In May the city determined that
the proposed project would have a
