Speed Line: Burrito islands of sediment that are flood- ed during tidal surges, creating good natural fish habitat. WORK ON THE project began in earnest this summer to restore the Skokomish River's estuary by removing nearly 5,000 linear feet of dikes. The project is located just west of the river's mouth, within the tribe's reservation boundaries. This part of the project started on September 10 when the dikes were breached in sections with excava- tors, so not to inundate the estu- ary with too much sediment flow. In anticipation of this, 3,000 lin- ear feet of a raised concrete walk- way has been installed, allowing tribal members access through a forested wetland complex to har- vesting and ceremonial areas. The elevated walkway will also allow the tides to flow freely within the estuary. The dike system, built in the early 1940s, has prevented the delta from receiving a natural tidal flow, severely affecting the health of the estuary and elimi- nating important juvenile salmon rearing habitat.

Lake Cushman Rd. 360-877-6881 New director is on Pointe as shelter plans progress Cheryl Cathcart started work Monday as executive director of Turning Pointe Domestic Violence Services. She takes a position formerly held by Patty Jo McGill, who re- signed in June. Cathcart has been an advocate for victims of sexual assault and other crimes and has experience in crisis information and referral. She received a bachelor of arts de- gree in psychology from Ottawa University in Ottawa, Kansas, and certification in helping people suffering from chemical dependen- cy. She previously headed the do- mestic-violence shelter in Kittitas County. She said she is excited to work with the people of Mason County to address the problem of domes- tic violence. "I've received a lot of positive feedback regarding community support ibr Turning Pointe's programs and the clients we serve," she stated. "I'm really looking forward to meeting with first responders and other commu- nity partners so that we can de- velop a good working relationship to benefit the survivors and their children in Mason County." This is a critical time for Turn- ing Pointe as it considers bids for the job of constructing a new shel- ter for victims of domestic violence. Architectural drawings have been finalized and submitted to the City of Shelton for the necessary permits. Officials of the nonprofit group plan to award a contract sometime this month and are hop- ing to break ground this fall. Plans call for Cathcart to lead the transition into the new shel- ter in late spring or early summer of next year. Her other goals for Turning Pointe involve the estab- lishment of a strategic plan that contains specific goals and objec- tives for the agency's programs and clients. She also is looking to develop programs and systems that provide comprehensive out- reach to the community. "A comprehensive community outreach program, coupled with a good working strategic plan, is the only way we are going to effec- tively address the serious problem this county has with domestic vio- lence," Cathcart said. Historians to host Crooks for talk on M,.00:dicine Creek Treaty Drew Crooks of Olympia will be the guest speaker fi)r Sunday's meeting of the Mason County Historical Society. His program topic is "Mysteries of the Medi- cine Creek Treaty, a fresh look at Isaac Stevens, Leschi and the Indian Treaty Council of 1854." Crooks invites interested per- sons to come learn more about the Medicine Creek Indian Trea- ty Council of 1854, an event that many people consider one of the greatest turning points in the history of Puget Sound. "Even today the treaty produced by the council is of major significance," he said, then asks: "But what do we actually know about the 1854 council that brought together Indians and American settlers at a place on the Nisqually Del- ta? How much is truth and how much is speculation?" His slide presentation will ad- dress mysteries that surround the Medicine Creek Treaty Council. Crooks will examine the primary sources of information for the event and weigh their strengths and weaknesses. The basic known facts of the council will be briefly reviewed. The his- torian will also discuss some of the questions that shroud this crucial encounter of two peoples. He will conclude with a look at the historical markers that com- memorate this 19th Century meeting that still affects us to- day. Crooks graduated from the University of Washington with a master's degree in museum stud- ies. For 25 years he has carried out historical research at various museums in the area and written a number of articles and several books on the region's heritage. The program will begin at 2 p.m. on September 16 at the mu- seum located at 427 West Rail- road Avenue in downtown Shel- ton. All programs of the histori- cal society are open to the public and free of charge. Couple callin£ all pilgrims for a journey to Holy Land Carl and Sue Johnson of Union are inviting others to join them on a trip to the Holy Land from No- vember 8 through 19. The Johnsons have been to the area eight times and want oth- ers to join with them and walk the land where Jesus is believed to have walked and visit ancient sites, such as the Damascus Gate, the Wailing Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and others. Among other highlights of the trip are visits to Mount of Olives, the Garden of Gethsemane, Beth- lehem, Hebron, the Dead Sea, Mount Zion, a refugee camp and much more. There will also be visits with Christians and peace and justice groups from other faiths, and an opportunity to worship at the Lu- theran Church of the Redeemer in Jerusalem. The cost is $2,500 per person, including airfare from Seattle, nine days of lodging, including breakfast and dinner, as well as ground transportation and en- trance fees to sites. The Johnsons need to know who is going by Sep- tember 15. To contact them send an e-mail to carljohnson@aol. corn or call 898-8407. COME CELEBRATE A GRAND OCCASION.
