Hello again! How do you. like
two newspapers for the price of.
one? Not many of these bargains
around nowadays, huh?
There were a couple of
emergencies around the Lake the
last weekend in July. First the
development on Trask Lake had a
problem with their water supply
and were looking for water to
supply their campers over the
weekend. Tom Brokaw asked
Paradise Estates to furnish the
water and he would transport it
via the Fire truck.They drew 500
gallons, but found it too difficult
to get to the water standard and
up and down the hills, so they
drew another 2,000 from Tom's
well over the weekend. You're a
good neighbor, Tom!
I, along With numerous
other people, were curious about
the Fire Engine, with siren
blaring, making a fast run along
the west side of Mason Lake
Saturday. Many boats took after
it, down Lake, but the truck
disappeared from sight. The fire
was a smoldering type, only about
8' in diameter at the "Old
Homestead" (as referred to by the
kids) above Mason Lake in the
woods. This is a "party" spot for
young people from Shelton as
well as Mason Lake. They build a
bonfire and do their "thing".
(Don't ask me what that is). This
fire possibly was caused by a
cigarette butt. Careful there! I
would sure hate to sit on my deck
and look at charred tree stumps!
A1 Rodewald has taken on a
new part time job, besides his
Paradise Chores. He will check
cabins in Paradise twice a day
during the off season for a
nominal fee.
I am going to have a new
neighbor by the end of the
month: My mother Kim Kimmel
has sold her mobile home and lot
to Walter and Carrie Gipe and she
has purchased their lot right
behind our place on South Drive.
We spent several days shopping
for a new mobile home in home
in Tacoma, Olympia and
Bremerton and she finally
purchased a new expando mobile
home in Olympia.
Congratulations !
My husband Pete came out of
retirement, (four months in all)
and is working at Lumbermen's in
Shelton. Quite a difference from
commuting to Seattlle. This not
leaving for work until 8 a.m. is
too much!
A summer commuter to
Seattle's Boeing plant is Mr.
Cook. His family is enjoying their
summer here at Paradise.
Babe Hathaway and her two
small boys are spending part of
the summer here. (Their home is
Victoria, B.C.) Her oldest son,
Ron Wheeler, has been spending
his leave from the Navy with her.
She also has her grandchildren
with her and her husband, Bob,
comes down on weekends. (That's
a long ways to commute).
The Simpson Timber
Recreation Park at the south end
of Mason Lake has been a popular
place for Simpson employees to
camp and picnic this summer.
Simpson is in the process of
enlarging the camp by 34
campsites. They will be ready for
use by the middle of August. The
campsites will be mainly back
among the trees, leaving about a
50' strip along the water for
general use.
A full time caretaker, Donel
Karte, is employed during the
summer season. Robert Trail
relieves him two days a week.
The campers are limited to a
14-day stay unless space is
available for longer periods
without someone else being
turned away. The park is a busy
place on weekends because it is
generously donated to
community organizations such as
the PUD, Game Dept., Girl
Scouts, schools and VFW to name
a few that have used it this
summer for picnics.
A few problems have arisen
with young people this summer,
some damage to vehicles and the
like. They are making new signs
to inform people of their
responsibilities within the Park.
The Don Cox family is busy
this summer. Don Jr. is working
for Simpson in Shelton, Dave for
Mendenhalls, and daughter,
Debbie, at the drive-in at
Potlatch. The Coxes have a
boarder this summer. A friend of
Dons, Jack Spencer. His father
was transferred to Seattle, so he is
spending the summer here and
working at Simpsons with Don.
A1 and Lela Rodewald took a
trial run in their new car (1971
Toyota, air conditioning too) and
their 12' Little Loafer Trailer.
They took four days and went to
Canada for Lela's sister's Golden
Wedding anniversary, near
Westminster. They had a fine trip.
The Lon Pettitt family spent
two weeks vacationing, they
headed east to find the sun the
1st two weeks of July. They spent
a couple of days on the Naches
and then on to Sun Lakes. The
weather was lovely and it was a
real fun trip.
I would enjoy hearing from
YOU. Drop me a line at 706
Mason Lake Dr., Grapeview, or
give me a call. Your news is what

Harold W. Parker, Vice President
Jack Cole, Secretary
Jerry Samoles, Manager
who will be
a sophomore at North Mason.
High School this fail, should be
given an assignment in her
Language Arts class to write a
theme entitled "How I Spent my
Summer Vacation," she won't
have any trouble trying to decide
what to write about.
For four days she experienced
what most girls only dream about;
she became part of the visiting
royalty court in Seattle Seafair
activities and, in her own words,
"really felt like a queen."
Her chance to share in the
glamor and excitement of Seafair
came when she was chosen Queen
of the Filipino-American Council
of the Pacific Northwest last
November. Girls from the Filipino
communities of Wapato, Seattle,
Auburn and Bremerton (which
Eloisa represented) competed for
the honor and it was Eloisa who
was crowned queen in coronation
ceremonies late last year. This
year the group has decided to
hold coronation ceremonies in
August so Eloisa's short reign is
almost over.
Besides participating in
Seafair functions this summer, she
was feted in Yakima with a dinner
and party in her role as queen.
Eloisa's role as visiting royalty
during Seafair began Thursday
afternoon, July 29, when she
checked into the Olympic Hotel
and met her two roommates,
Darlene LeMay, Armed Forces
queen from Bremerton and Teri
Knudson, Ellensburg's Rodeo
queen. A picture-taking session
followed, then a dinner at the
hotel where Seafair royalty and
visiting royalty had a chance to
meet each other.
On Friday the girls were taken
to Seattle Center for a tour. They
all attended the Tex Beneke show
that night where the name of this
year's Seafair queen was
announced, then they joined
other merry-makers at the ball
held at the Olympic. Escorts for
the visiting princesses were young
men from the University of
Washington, Eloise being escorted
by Gary Gardner. Their group
only stayed at the ball long
enough to be introduced, then
went to another ballroom in the
hotel for their own private party.
The Seafair grand parade was
viewed Saturday morning from
the reviewing stand, along with
other visiting royalty who were
not riding on floats. That
afternoon the princesses were
taken to Longacres to watch the
horse races and in the evening
they attended the Bonodori
Japanese Festival where they saw
judo and karate demonstrated and
visited a Buddhist Church. A huge
dish of ice-cream at Farrell's Ice
Cream Parlor ended Saturday's
activities.
A two and a half hour boat
tour of Seattle's waterfront was
taken by the girls on Sunday
,fternoon, followed by a dinner
at the Olympic Hotel. The
torchlight parade was viewed later
in the evening, with each
participating group in the parade
stopping before the visiting
royalty for their special attention.
By noon Monday it was
check-out time and Eloisa
returned to her parent's berry
farm on North Shore, with lots of
happy memories.
What did she enjoy the most
during her days as a visiting
princess? "Meeting all those
people and ordering all that
food," she replied enthusiastically
as she explained that whenever
she felt hungry she could order
food in the dining room of the

She ate steak three times a day,
something she doesn't get a
chance to do at home, for
breakfast, lunch and dinner,
usually ordering the most
expensive cuts on the menu.

about fiveyears ago, is the
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Fontanilla. She has four younger
brothers.

The Belfair Fire hall, located
at the Y at the north end of
Belfair, which will be vacated by
the Belfair fire department when
the new fire hall is completed this
fall, has been sold to the County.
An offer of $32,000 made by the
Mason County commissioners was
accepted by commissioners of
Fire District 2 this past week.
Arrangements were made at
last week's meeting of the County
commissioners to pay $10,000 as
a down payment. It is expected
that the balance of the sales price
will be paid when the County
moves the Belfair substation of
the County Sheriff's department
to new quarters in the building,
probably around October.
No one seemed to know what
the exact plans for the building
were, if any have yet been made,
other than that of moving the
Sheriff's local office to larger
quarters. Sheriff Johnny
Robinson was on vacation,
Commissioner Bill Hunter could
not be reached, and Auditor Ruth
Boysen said she didn't think any
definate plans had been made
since the County commissioners
were in the middle of a very busy
week when the deal went through
so hadn't had a chance to think
about it.
But rumors of "maybe a
couple of jail cells in the back" or
"maybe they'll resume holding
justice court in Belfair in the large
upstairs room" or "maybe they'll
rent out office space they don't
need" were going through town.
(Editor's note: If office space is
available I hope they will put the
Herald at the top of the list...
there are restrooms in THAT
building! )
"Time alone will tell," said
Mrs. Boysen. Ownership of the
building will give the County
room to expand if there is a need
to extend service to this end of
the County by various County
departments. At present,
dispatcher Onie Sande is handling
auto registrations and car licenses
for the Auditor's department in
addition to her duties for the
Sheriff's department.
SIGNS STOLEN
Signs from three Grapeview
residences were reported missing
last week, evidently the work of
vandals, according to a report
filed in the Belfair Sheriff's office.
PINOCHLE ANYONE?
Persons who enjoy the game
of pinochle are invited to attend a
Pinochle card party at 7:30 p.m.
August 13, sponsored by the
Twanoh Grange, to be held at the
Grange building located on the
Victor cutoff road (turn left first
road south of the North Mason
high school site.) Information
may be obtained by calling Mrs.
Thaves, CR 5-6151. Refreshments
will be served. The party is open
to the public.
BOAT FOUND
A 16 foot fibregiass boat was
reported found about 2% miles
past Tahuya on August 3
according to a deputy of the local
Sheriff's office.
2-CAR MISHAP
Slowing down to pick up two
pedestrians standing in front of
the Shell Service Station in
Belfair, a car driven by Larry
Norton of Port Orchard was
struck from behind by a car
driven by Vincent Aiken of
Bremerton. Both vehicles were
headed north on Highway 3 at the
time of the accident, which
occurred around 2 p.m. August 2.
No one was injured.
