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

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.
I[ you h=ve any information re~ardln~ current crimiaml activity of thht or Inv ether offender, nlease tall 911.

Mason County. 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

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.
MATZ is assessed by the Mason County Sheriff's Office as a Level 3
This is the highest level giv~'n to a Sex Offender, meaning
that the subject is at a HIGH RISK to re-offend.

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."

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. For additional in-
