A hearing before the Mason
County Commission on a request
from Simpson Timber Company
to relocate about 30 acres of its
log dump from Munson Point
brought a capacity crowd of
Oakland Bay property owners out
Monday afternoon to voice their
objections and views.
Henry Sandstron and Donald
Roder from Simpson explained
the company's proposal which
would eliminate all log storage off
Munson Point in front of the
Shorecrest Development and
relocate a part of it as an
extension to the present log
storage area off Chapman's Cove.
The officials said the
company, after consultation with
the Washington State Department
of Natural Resources, from which
it leases the water storage rights,
had come up with a proposal
agreeable to both.
They said log storage had
already been removed from about

were from residents of Shorecrest,
the area which would have all the
logs removed from in front of it
under the proposal. Most of the
others protested the expansion of
log storage facilities in Oakland
Bay.
Those attending the meeting
outlined the hazards to boating
and water skiing from bark from
the log operations and from
deadheads (logs which have
broken out of rafts and sunk).
Roder, who is log distribution
manager for Simpson, stated
bundling the logs, which had been
started earlier this year, would go
a long ways toward reducing these
problems since it was much more
difficult for the logs to escape
from a bundle than from a flat
raft and that the log bundles were
lowered into the water by a crane
rather than dumped in as had
been the practice in the past.
Another point brought out by
one of those who were protesting
the proposal was that if the
extension was granted as
proposed on the Chapman Cove
storage area it would extend the
log storage out into the deep
water channel in the bay making
it more difficult for boats to get

Young fishermen brought in a
variety of dogfish, ranging from
68 inches long to 17½ inches long
Friday afternoon in the dogfish
derby sponsored by the
Barracudas 4-H Club.
The weigh-ins and
measurements were held at
Walker Park.
A good crowd also was on
hand to taste the dogfish cooked
by Dr. James Pennell from
Washington State University.
He steamed part of the fish
and fried part. Those attending
were able to taste the fish cooked
by the two different methods.
Winning the prize for the
largest dogfish was Vern Bailey,
who brought in a whopper
weighing 48 pounds and
measuring 68½ inches.
The prize for the largest
number of dogfish caught went to
Robert Proctor, who turned in
31.
The prize for the longest
dogfish went to Bob Hurst, whose
catch of 36¾ inches was the
longest after Bailey's big one was
taken out after winning the other
prize.
Honors for the smallest fish
went to Melvin Matson, whose
little one was 17½ inches long.
Prizes were donated to the
4-H club by the Shelton Nimrod
Club and John Blanton of
Skookum Oyster Company.
Young people who caught fish
were Shane Bell, Bob Hunt,
Jenny McGee, Veto Bailey, Don
Evans, Scott Boyd, Mark
Christensen, Carrie Lee
Robertson, Dean Dahlman,
Melvin Matson and Robert
Proctor.
