BOY SCOUTS Chase Tobey, left, and Scan Childers join Karl Oleson in a
park-improvement project.
Oleson's Eagle project
enhances Potlatch park
Potlatch State Park's entrance
recently underwent a fhcelift. A
brand-new sign greets guests,
along with an American flag fly-
ing from a new pole, surrounded
by freshly landscaped foliage and
trees. This replaces the old, faded,
rotting sign from before.
Karl Oleson of Hoodsport has
enjoyed spending time at the park
with friends and family for years,
so he decided to supervise a proj-
ect to improve the park's entrance
in order to fulfill one of the crite-
ria for a Boy Scout to achieve the
rank of Eagle Scout.
"For years I've been going to
Potlatch State Park with my fam-
ily and I thought it would be a
nice thing to do to give something
back to the park," he explains.
Karl, a 16-year-old going into
his junior year at Shelton High
School, has been a scout for about
11 years and belongs to Boy Scout
Troop 110. Karl had been working
on this project concept since 2005,
but didn't break ground on it un-
til the spring of 2007. Under his
direction, his team of volunteers,
consisting of fellow scouts, friends
and family completed their project
on May 27. Park rangers Darrela
Standfill and Shuan Gerleman
assisted.
Even though the installation is
officially done, Karl and his group
are still providing maintenance
and watering over the summer.
Local organizations, including
Skookum Rotary, the Shelton
Nimrod Club and Sons of the
American Legion, sponsored this
project through donations.
Working on this project taught
Karl about leadership, including
how to organize work parties and
oversee assignments, he said.
Scoutmaster Paul Stone leads
Troop 110, which meets regu-
larly at 7 p.m. on Tuesday nights
at the United Methodist Church
of Shelton. In the last five years,
Karl has served as librarian, pa-
trol leader, assistant senior pa-
trol leader, senior patrol leader
and bugler for his troop. So far,
a date hasn't been set for Karl's
Eagle ceremony. He is the son
of' Alma and Dr. Brian Oleson of
Hoodsport. Besides scouting, Karl
also plays soccer and performs in
band.
ST0000LRS program gets grant
Services To At-Risk Seniors
(STARS), the adult daycare pro-
gram of Senior Services for South
Sound with an operation at Saint
David's Episcopal Church in Shel-
ton, has received a $2,000 grant
fom the Fred Meyer Foundation.
The grant will help provide the
nutritious lunches and wholesome
morning and afternoon snacks that
the seniors enjoy while attending
the daytime program.
STARS is designed to meet the
needs of adults with disabilities
through individual plans of care.
The mission is promoting indepen-
dence and self-esteem in a safe and
nurturing environment while pro-
viding respite fbr caregivers.
STARS' goal is to maintain or
slow the decline and, if possible,
improve the physical, mental and
emotional well being of participants
through a structured program of
therapeutic activities. It also pro-
motes independence by enabling
participants to continue to live in
the community.
The STARS program provides
companionship, protective supervi-
sion and activitids to alleviate bore-
dom and isolation. Participants
have coffee and a morning snack as
well as lunch and afternoon snacks,
read the daily newspaper together,
work puzzles and play board games,
hold group discussions, do gentle
'exercises, enjoy guest presenta-
tions, sing together and listen to
music, do crafts and other projects
and enjoy seasonal celebrations.
During the five hours or more
that the seniors meet, family mem-
bers may enjoy a break from the
rigors of caregiving.
"The Fred Meyer Foundation
and its advisory committee mem-
bers were particularly impressed
by the successful track record of the
STARS adult daycare program,"
said Glynda Brockhoff, philan-
thropy coordinator for Fred Meyer
and the foundation. "We hope this
community grant will help STARS
continue the important work it is
doing to enhance the welfare of the
community,"
The foundation's community
grant program is driven by 29 lo-
cal advisory committees made up
of local Fred Meyer employees in
the four western states where Fred
Meyer has stores who research
nonprofit organizations in their
communities and then award com-
munity grants.
The money comes from the com-
pany's employee giving campaign
and customer donations in stores.
