Celebration will mark
library's lOth birthday
The William G. Reed Public Li-
brary in Shelton is marking its
10th anniversary Friday with a
day-long celebration, Librarian
Tim Mallory told Shelton city
commissioners this week.
And while the new deck on the
Alder Street side of the building
will not be finished in time for the
gala event, Mallory noted that
several other improvements at
the library have been completed
in time for the anniversary party.
Those include a new reference of-
fice and public meeting room
downstairs and a new coat of
paint throughout the interior of
the building.
As a bonus to patrons attend-
ing the library tomorrow, a num-
ber of new videos and compact
discs will be put out on the
shelves, Mallory said.
Highlights of the anniversary
celebration at the library Friday
include a discussion about the
history of the library starting at 2
p.m.; dedication of the Roy C. Mc-
Conkey Garden at 2:45; Hilton
Bailer and Liz Stroup discovering
the power of libraries at 3; a read-
ing of the first chapters of Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
and a performance of Balladores
de Mexico dancers at 4; a Swing
Fever performance for a parking
lot dance from 5 to 6:30, and a
community forum: "Smart Com-
munities Using Library Power,"
starting at 6:30. The last event
initially was slated to be held at
the Shelton Civic Center but was
moved to the library.
MALLORY ALSO introduced
Brenda Pierce, the new youth ser-
vices librarian. She comes from
the New York Public Library,
where she worked in a project
connecting libraries and more
than 200 schools. "I hope to bring
a little of that to the library," she
said.
The library's summer reading
program involved a total of 778
children, 216 of whom completed
the program, Pierce said. The li-
brary also presented six special
programs during the summer and
more than a hundred people at-
tended them.
In other city business, commis-
sioners:
• Heard Mayor Scott Hilburn
thank Mason County's Road De-
partment for helping the city with
its chip seal project on several
city streets this summer. "We
would not have been able to run
the chip seal program without the
assistance of Mason County," De-
velopment Services Manager
Gary Rhoades told The Journal.
City workers prepared the streets
and county workers moved in
with their equipment to apply the
layering.
• HEARD FROM City Admin-
istrator Mike McCarty that the
city's new human resources direc-
tor is ,Jan Marie Ferrell of Ju-
neau, Alaska, where she was hu-
man resources manager for the
Alaska Department of" Commerce
and Economic Development. She
will start her new job by mid-Oc-
tober. There were 86 applicants
for the new city position. That
field was narrowed to three and
McCarty ultimately selected Fer-
rell from those.
• Voted to accept the Kneeland
Park project as complete and re-
leased the contractor's retainage.
The project, including the picnic
shelter, is complete, Shelton Rec-
reation Director Mark Ziegler
said. It has become a very popu-
lar area, and two family reunions
were held there last weekend, he
added. All of the hollow glass
blocks in the restroom building at
the park were replaced with solid
glass blocks following an earlier
act of vandalism.
• Heard from Rhoades that an
open house for city staff members
to receive public comments on the
Olympic Highway South pedes-
trian pathway project will be held
from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sep-
tember 28, at city hall.
Program targets
unsafe trucking
Law enforcement officials and
commercial truck inspectors from
Washington and Oregon joined
forces this week to target unsafe
truck drivers.
Aimed at determining driver
impairment and equipment com-
pliance, Operation Trucker Check

the nonprofit organization in its
work to rescue, rehabilitate and
release orphaned or injured
wildlife in the area and to edu-
cate the public about wildlife and

clinic facility is also a goal of the
fund-raising effort.
Pringle said Olympic Wild-
life Rescue, which is located just
across the Grays Harbor County
line, has about 100 Mason County
members. About a third of the
animals treated there come from
Mason County, she said.
The event will be held rain or

Olympic Wildlife Rescue, lo-

second annual "Walk for Wild-
life" on Saturday, September 25,
at Sylvester Park in Olympia.
Walkers can register from
9:30 to 10:30 a.m. the day of the
walk. Two routes, one of approx-
imately five miles and the other
of about two miles, will be avail-
able, said Pat Pringle of Hoods-
port, a local spokesperson for the
organization.
Walkers will return to Syl-

Letter on file
Words and music will be the
order of the evening next Thurs-
day when the Olympic Poets and
Writers Workshop hosts Seattle
poet Ron Starr, a former Shelto-
nian, and his father, Shelton flut-
ist Larry Starr, for a free reading
and recital.
The session in Saint David's
Hall, at 218 North Third Street in
downtown Shelton, is part of a
regular series hosted by the local
writers' circle.
Starr, who graduated from
Shelton High School in 1972,
studied at Washington State Uni-
versity, where he majored in com-
puter science and English and
graduated as a Phi Beta Kappa
scholar. His double major was a
perfect fit for the Microsoft Corpo-
ration, where he has worked writ-
ing software manuals. He cur-
rently divides his time between
writing poetry, which he took on
seriously three years ago, and do-
ing technical writing.
Starr participates in a regular
poetry workshop group that
meets every other week to cri-
tique and help edit each other's
work. He has taken writing work-
shops with poet Marvin Bell at
the Centrum Port Townsend
Writers' Conference and at the
University of Southern Oregon in
Ashland, and with poet Billy Col-
lins at Centrum. He is influenced
by such writers as Polish poet
Zbigniew Herbert, he says, add-
ing that he admires Herbert's
"playful intellectualism."
He describes his own work as
"domesticated surrealism." He
has had work published in Crab
Creek Review, Chrysanthemum,
WordWright, Slightly West and
Stringtown. A piece chosen for
King County's Metro Bus Poetry
Competition was his first publica-
tion.
He lives in Seattle with his
wife, Ann.
Setting the scene for his read-
ing will be a program of wood-
wind music by Larry Starr, a re-
tired Rayonier chemist. The elder
Starr is also retired from The Ev-
ergreen State College, where he
taught chemistry.
Larry Starr teaches woodwinds
- clarinet, flute, saxophone and
piccolo - at Westside Music in
Olympia. He and his wife,
Mildred, live on Island Lake.
The program will take place in
the fireplace room in the lobby of
the hall. Coffee and cookies will
be served. The hall is accessible
to the handicapped.
Youth task force
kicks off school
supply drive
Sunny the Crayon, a character
created by the Mason County
Youth Task Force to promote its
school supply drive, will be on
hand from noon to 7 p.m. Satur-
day at the Shelton Safeway store
on Franklin Street.
In June task force members
designed a program called
"Color Our Children's Commu-
nity" to assist families of limited
income to meet their basic educa-
tional needs. The objective is to
collect 10,000 school supplies by
January 2000, according to Shala
Godwin, outreach coordinator for
Mason County Drug Abuse Pre-
vention (MCDAP).
"The youth task force hopes
that by helping students and
schools to meet their most basic
needs, everyone will have an
equal opportunity to be academi-
cally successful and meet their
goals," Godwin explained. Do-
nations of crayons, pencils, pa-
per, scissors, glue and other ne-
cessities for school are welcome,
she added.
When the school supply drive
is completed, each of the 10 ele-
mentary schools in the county
will receive 1,000 school supplies
to be distributed to students
throughout the year.
Godwin said the Shelton Wal-
Mart donated $50 to kick-off the
project. The task force used the
money to purchase 71 supplies.

Youth Task Force to promote its
school supply drive, will be on
hand from noon to 7 p.m. Satur-
day at the Shelton Safeway store
on Franklin Street.
In June task force members
designed a program called
"Color Our Children's Commu-
nity" to assist families of limited
income to meet their basic educa-
tional needs. The objective is to
collect 10,000 school supplies by
January 2000, according to Shala
Godwin, outreach coordinator for
Mason County Drug Abuse Pre-
vention (MCDAP).
"The youth task force hopes
that by helping students and
schools to meet their most basic
needs, everyone will have an
equal opportunity to be academi-
cally successful and meet their
goals," Godwin explained. Do-
nations of crayons, pencils, pa-
per, scissors, glue and other ne-
cessities for school are welcome,
she added.
When the school supply drive
is completed, each of the 10 ele-
mentary schools in the county
will receive 1,000 school supplies
to be distributed to students
throughout the year.
Godwin said the Shelton Wal-
Mart donated $50 to kick-off the
project. The task force used the
money to purchase 71 supplies.
