Wayne and Laura Allen spent
four days recently taring a quick
tour of British Columbia. They
traveled up the Frazer Canyon
taking the airway tram high above
the Frazer River at Hells Gate.
Then traveling on northward,
they visited the old gold mining
town of Barkerville which was
founded by Billy Barker. He was a
naval deserter who found a large
quantity of gold that started a
gold rush to Barkerville in the
1860's. At one time the town
boasted the largest population
north of San Francisco.
The Canadian Government is
making the town part of its
restoration program and guides
are provided. The Allen's guide
was an English born girl who is a
college student in Vancouver,
Canada and oddly enough they
found her English a little difficult
to understand!
The A11ens traveled through
the Jasper National Park by way
of the Yellow Head Route
northward and then eastward by
the Columbia Icefield Route.
They found this area to be the
most beautiful and they spotted
bear, moose and a herd of
mountain goats. Traveling
towards home, they went through
Glacier National Park by way of
the Rogers Pass. It had reached
temperatures over 110 degrees
during their vacation and fraveling
near forest fire areas made it
terribly uncomfortable. It was a
good sight when they spotted our
beautiful Hood Canal!
The Belfair Baptist
Community Church won the Slow
Pitch Championship in their
twelve team league, winning by
one game over Poulsbo Christ
Memorial Church.
Congratulations go to pitcher
Bruce Whitman and his fellow
players Harlan Olson, Joey,
Warren and Tommy Johnson,
Greg and Marty Zern, Herman
Nelson, Vernon Beeson, Don
Carstensen, Ed Amick, Bill
Spangler, Lonnie Whisanant,
Lowel Gunselman, Ted Cook and
Gene Foster.
In celebration of the team
victory, the members and their
families held a picnic Friday at
Twanoh State Park. The soft ball
team is hoping that come next
June there will be enough interest
to form a six to eight team league
within the Belfair area.
The players have a lot of fun
and added that a guy doesn't even
have to be an athlete to join in for
this game. Keep m mind, too, that
summer residents are more than
welcome to join in the
community fun.
Mary Wing and Erma Roessel
recently spent a fascinating two
weeks at Cannon Beach, Oregon
at a summer work shop called
Haystack '71 sponsored by
Portland State University. The
university held art, drama, music
and writing workshops at the
same time in this arty, quaint
little village and activities for the
students were held nightly such as
summer stock- plays and wiener
roasts.
Mrs. Wing and Mrs. Roessel
signed up for the art workshop,
titled Painting With the Natural
Environment. This entailed using
sand, charcoal from fires, sea
water and a combination of other
mediums to form a sandy texture
art. The emphasis was not on
subject matter and this left a lot
of room to let one's imagination
stray.
Both women were pleased
with their work and also had a lot
of fun earning their college credits
for the summer.
TWO TRAPS TAKEN
A report of two squirrel traps
stolen from the E. C. Harper
property in Belfair was received
by the Belfair Sheriff's office
August 21.

By LOU DONNELL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i~n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~u~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~u~~~~~~~~~~~~u~~~~~~~~
Last week was the kind of week editors dream about - in
nightmares.
No news.
No four-car pileups, no armed robberies, no evening meetings to
attend; not even any suits filed by local citizens against County
officials. (Which may be a news item in itself.)
Grasping at straws, ! decided to try to follow up a lead i'd picked
up at the local Sherifffs office.
In my almost two years as editor I have seen many, many reports of
missing dogs when checking on complaints which have come into the
Sheriff's substation. In almost every report, a complete description of
the animal is given so that he can be identified easily and returned to
the owner if sighted. The card on which the complaint is registered
usually lists the type of dog (poodle, bulldog or whatever,) the color,
the sex, short or long hair, the size, any collar or tag or chain it might
be wearing, and sometimes the dog's name. (Just in case someone seeing
a dog fitting the description "mean German Shepherd" wants to stand
around calling "Here, Bruno, good boy, Bruno" to see if that's the
magic word to allow one to pat him on the head?)
Last week a card bearing information on two missing dogs intrigued
me. Where one usually finds all the vital statistics of the lost animal, it
merely stated "one white from England, one a golden pup."
Supposedly, these were clues offered to help single out these dogs
from any other stray dogs that might be wandering around the area.
Okay, I'll keep my eyes open for a white dog (big or little? shaggy
or bald? old or young? male or female?) But wait. Here's a bit of
information meant to help the deputies identify the lost canine. He (or
she) is from England.
"Now just how," I asked a deputy on duty "will I know whether
any white dog I might spot is from Englan~l?" He didn't know the
answer.
But there must be an answer, 1 thought. There must be something
about that dog that will tell me immediately, if I should see it, that he
(or she) is from England.
So, camera in hand, in search of an interesting story to help fill my
paper, I roamed the Belfair area looking for a white dog from England.
Oh, I saw lots of white dogs alright, but none that weren't obviously
ordinary white American dogs. None with "Made in England" tattooed
across the forehead, none wearing a monocle or a derby on his head,
with a Union Jack tucked in his collar, none thai stood at attention
when I whistled "God Save The Queen."
Oh well, at least I can write it up in the usual manner and make a
LITTLE story out of it, I decided. Which I did. 1 think you'll recognize
it easily as you glance through the paper.
And if anyone should find the dog, for Heaven's sake, be sure to let
me know how you KNEW.
TRYING ON SOME UNIFORMS in anticipation of taking
part in the newly organized Pee Wee Sports program in the
area are Robbie Mustain, Russell Cleveland, Don Beeson and
Rick Maesner. Basketball will be the first sport entered by
the new group.

ON DISPLAY THIS MONTH at the Belfair Post Office are
paintings done by local artist, Mrs. Lorry Summers, pictured
above with some of her work.

"Painting has always been my
great interest as well as the
admiration of beautiful works of
art," said Lorry Summers, whose
paintings have been on display
during the month of August at
the Belfair Post Office. She and
her husband, Charles E, Summers,
are a retired couple living in the
area.
"As a child I watched a friend
of my family do lovely paintings.
I would hide in the tall grass of a
pan
Portland, Ore. hillside home as
tlarry Wentz, well-known Oregon
artist, painted at his easel. Of
course, I was seen, but not
reprimanded, so enjoyed watching
the exquisite colors of sky and
mountains portrayed on canvas,"
she continued, explaining her
early interest in art.
Mrs. Summers" father, too,
was an artist• With him it was a
hobby, not a profession.

With the help ot' money
donated by the business
community of Belfair and hours
and hours of volunteer work by
interested parents, an organized
sports program is about to begin
in the North Mason area.
Officially accepted into the
Kitsap County Adult Pee Wee
Association in June, North Mason
boys will have a chance to
participate in basketball late in
November competing against six
other teams in the southern half
of the league. The local group will
not be in football this year.
Uniforms for two basketball
teams have been ordered, in the
black and silver colors of the
Oakland Raiders. There will be
four levels in each of the three
sports covered by Pee Wee;
basketball, baseball and football.
Participation is optional in two
other sports, wrestling and
summer tennis.
Boys 8 to 1 2 (if not 1 3 before
Nov. 15) will be eligible to
participate and every boy
applying will be given a chance to
be on one of the four levels of
teams. It is hoped that by next
year the money will be available
to 9utfit the other two basketball
teams, too.
Each boy will be charged $6
per sport which will cover
insurance costs. To enter Pee Wee
competition, each adult
association must pay $200 per
sport to cover costs of insurance
and officials.
High school students or recent
graduates who are interested in
athletics will have a chance to
take part by acting as referees and
umpires. Any boys, parents, or
older boys interested in joining
the program will be welcome at
the next meeting, the second
Wednesday in September at 7:30
p.m. in the high school cafeteria.
Eighty boys showed an
interest in joining Pee Wees when
a questionnaire was sent through
the schools last spring. It's still
not too late to join. Sign-up for
the basketball teams will be
designated in October. The North
Mason League encompasses the
Grapeview School district as well
as that part of Kitsap County
which sends its students to Belfair
to school.
Gerald Hunter is head of the
local drive to bring organized
sports to this area following the
recent resignation of Ernie Aries
as president of the local adult
association.

'O
charcoal sketches of hands that
worked, hands that played and
that prayed; his exceedingly
beautiful water colors, a sailboat
in the setting sun, a gypsy girl's
head..." she reminisced.
It was less than two years ago
that a friend, Mrs. Blanche
McFadden, put a paintbrush in
Mrs. Summers' hand told her
"Lorry, you can do it too." They
went into Mrs. McFadden's
garden and picked a bouquet of
calendula for the beginning artist
to paint. For a time she studied
with Dorothy Dixon and was
encouraged in her efforts by
friends Ruth Lake of Bremerton
and Ellen Beck of Mesa, Arizona.
Several of the pictures on
display were painted in the
Arizona desert and a few of those
portraying desert scenes, some
including a saguara cactus plant,
are framed in pulp from the inside
of one of the giant cacti.
"The encouragement of my
family and kindness of a busy
husband who drove me to the
desert countries have culminated
in these pictures," said Mrs.
Summers. "If they please the eye,
that is all I ask."
Mrs. Summers said she
believes everyone has a talent for
something and if time can be
found to sit down and discover
what it is.
It took her awhile to take the
time to search for hers, but the
display of her work is proof that
she finally found it.
WOOF, WOOF, BY JOVE
Anyone hearing a dog bark
with a British accent might alert
the local Sheriff's offce. On
August 18 the office received a
report of two dogs missing from
the Belfair area. Descriptions were
brief: a white dog from England
and a golden pup.
