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.
"Removal of the dikes will allow
nutrients to flow through the area
and allow for a more natural res-

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

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-
