But they can only help you if they know you are there, and what you have to offer. Shelton-Mason County Call (360) 426-4412 227 W. Cota, Shelton www. masoncou nty.corn By NATALIE JOHNSON Habitat for Human- ity relies on volunteers to build low-cost houses for needy families. Some work however, simply has to be done by trained profession- als. Despite the homes' ap- parent simplicity, they need an architect's eye. That's where Grant Foster, of Foster Williams Archi- tecture in Shelton, comes in. "He has been a huge friend to habitat," board president Kelly Zoldack said. Foster has been an ar- chitect at Foster Williams Architecture since 1979 af- ter graduating from Wash- ington State University. In the past three years he started donating his time to design houses for Habi- tat for Humanity of Mason County. "I didn't know about hab- itat until four or five years ago," he said. "We've never done anythizlg like this be- fore. Architects do this sort of thing when there's an opportunity for it." Foster said that before he took over, the houses were designed by a draft- ing teacher at Shelton High School. "It's very gratifying. You know that someone who wouldn't otherwise own a home owns one," he said. Even for one of Habi- tat's simple houses, archi- tecture work could cost as much as $1,500 per house, Foster said. Foster said designing the houses isn't rocket science, but they need to be designed in a way that allows non-professional volunteers, along with a few professional supervi- sors, to build the house with as little difficulty as possible. "When we design a house we look at these sort of things to make it easy for non-professional people to build," he said. "They Sheriff - Casey Salisbury SEX OFFENDER INFORMATION BULLETIN LEVEL 3 NOTIFICATION OF RESIDENCE Date: August 10, 2011 Prepared by: Detective William Adam Bulletin#: 11-39 The Mason County Sheriff's Office is releasing the followiug information pursuant to RCW 4.24.5f~0 and the Washington State Supreme Court decision in ~lttgJ¢,-~ which authorizes law enforcement agencies to inform the public of a sex and/or kidnapping offenders release when; in the discretion nfthe agency, the release of information will enhance public safety and protection. The individual who appears on this nodflcadoo has been convicted era sex and;or kidnapping offensc that requires registration with the Sheriff's Office in the county of their residence. Further, their p~vious criminal history places them in a classification level which reflects the potential to re-offend. This sex and/or kidnapping offender has served the sentence imposed on him by the courts and has advised the M&~on Counb Sheriff's Office that be will he living in the location below. HE iS NOT WANTED BY THE POLICE AT THIS TIME. THIS NOTIFICATION IS NOT INTENDED TO INCREASE FEAR~ RATEIL~ IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT AN INFORMED PUBLIC IS A SAFER PUBLIC. The M&~on County Sheriffs Office has no legal authority to direct wlgre a sex and/or kidnapping offender may or may not live. Llnless court ordered restrictions exist, this offender is constitutionally free to live wherever he chooses. Sex and/or kidnapping ofl~'nders have always lived in our communities, but it wasn't until passage nf file Community Protection Act of 1990 (which mandates sex/kJdm~pping offender registration) that law enforcement even knew where they were living. In many eases, law enforcement is now able to share that information with you. Citizen abuse orthis inibrmalion to threaten, intimidate or harass registered sex and/or kidnapping ofl~nders will rot be tolerated. Further, such abuse could potentially end law en forcemem's ability to do community notifications. We believe the only person who wins if community notification ends is the sex/kidnapping offender. since sex&idnapping offenders derive their power through secrecy.

MATZ is required to register as a sex offender lbr a guilty plea on 10/I 1/2010 of Rape of a Child yd Degree, Mason County Superior Court cause #10-1-00151-4. This conviction stems from MATZ at the age of 20. raping a 14 year old girl. Court documentation revealed that MATZ snuck into a friend's house where another person had placed the drug Ketamine into the victim's drink. MATZ then raped the child. During the investigation into the above child rape, another victim was interviewed. This second victim, a 15 year old girl, stated that she was at a party, with MATZ and had passed out after drinking only a root beer. Friends at the inibrmed her the next morning that MATZ had raped her. This 15 old girl then disclosed that she attended several other parties with and that MATZ was giving other young girls Ketamine and then aping them. During the same investigation another victim, a 15 year old girl disclosed that oo multiple occasions, she voluntarily took Ketamine from MATZ and that MATZ had sex with her several times. Due ~ these factors he is oonsiderod a HIGH RISK and MATZ is not allowed to be around minors. NOTE: MATZ is on DeC S _upervision. According to a Dec pro-sentence interview, MATZ refused to take any responsibility for his actions or express any remorse for his victims.

"It's very gratifying. You know that someone who i wouldn't otherwise own a home owns one." usually have someone who knows what they're doing supervising." Recently, Foster and his firm have designed Habi- tat's upcoming Schilling Park development, and have designed plans to rehabilitate house 21, the first ever Mason County Habitat foreclosure, which fell into disrepair. Foster also designed Habitat's upcoming Schil- ling Park development, a four-building and eight° unit complex that will be built on Franklin Street near Choice High School. While Habitat could have put' six houses on the lots, they chose to build the eight condominiums instead; to make efficient use of the space and build as many homes as possible, Foster said. With the recent down- turn in the housing mar- ket, Foster Williams has had to scale back, Foster said, but it also means they have more time to devote to Habitat projects. "We've put our employ- ees on half time - we're weathering the storm un- like a lot of architecture companies," he said. "I think there's a lot more people in need now -- [Habitat] can't fill all the need but they're trying." Foster's colleagues speak in glowing terms Of his contributions to Habi- tat. "I'm surrounded by he- roes - that's the fun of habitat," said Habitat con- tractor Bret Barrish. "We couldn't afford to do what we do without someone like that." UI By KEVAN MOORE In an effort to save lives, extra officers will be look- ing for DUI drivers on lo- cal roads between August 19 and September 5 dur- ing the annual Drive Ham- mered, Get Nailed cam- paign. Last year in Mason County, during the same time period, officers on routine and extra patrols arrested 19 people for DUI. For all of 2010, in Mason County, 488 people were charged with DUI. A total of 230 people died in Driv- ing Under the Influence (DUI) crashes last year in Washington. A new law called "Hal- ley's Law" went into effect on July 22, 2011. Now all DUI arrestees' cars will be towed and impounded for at least 12 hours. Only a registered or legdl owner who was not in the car at the time of arrest is al- pound in addition to jail time, losing their driver's license and the high cost of a DUI." The Shelton and Squaxin Island Police De- partments, the Mason County Sheriffs Office and the Washington State Pa- • lowed to get the car out of trol will join nearly 10,000 impound before the man- datory 12 hours. "This new law helps eliminate the danger of drunk drivers getting back into their cars and put- ting everyone at risk," said Lowell Porter, Director of the Washington Traffic Safety Commission. "Now all drunk drivers face the costs of towing and im- other agencies nationwide in this Drive Hammered, Get Nailed campaign. The Mason County Target Zero Traffic Safety ~ask Force organizes and supports this enforcement effort.
