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.

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. e y DONA C.

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.

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. t?" [ Was taken into the [ arms of the Lord on July 13, [ 2007.
