Somers' collection of maritime
memorabilia includes numerous
items from the old Mosquito Fleet
steamers that plied Puget Sound,
providing a transportation net-
work for passengers and goods.
Steamer whistles, wheels and
signboards are among the items
to see at the museum, which cap-
tures the feel and the lore of the
compact little vessels that took is-
land grapes to market.
The Island Belle grapes were
developed on Stretch Island as
well, and Somers' museum is in
the buildings that once housed a
thriving winery.

four passenger vehicle tires per
household will also be taken.
The tires must be off the rims.
Those who wish to sign up for
the free dump day must call the
solid-waste facility at 427-5271
before October 1. The reason for
this cutoff date is so the county
can gauge how many containers
will be needed for shipping the
waste out of the county, according
to Toni Clement, Mason County
and city of Shelton recycling co-
ordinator. When residents call,
they will be given a time slot for
bringing the waste into the Eells
Hill facility.
Those who take advantage of
this opportunity are asked to
bring a nonperishable food item
for the four local food banks.
The community development
department will also hold a fall
cleanup program from Septem-
ber 27 to October 8 at the Belfair
Transfer Station, 1611 Sand Hill
Road. Materials which will be
accepted there free of charge in-
clude brush and branches, leaves
and grass clippings, fencing
and old lawn furniture. Resi-
dents in North Mason can call
275-6462 to sign up.
To find the site, participants
from South Mason can travel
State Route 3 north, turn right on
the Grapeview Loop Road and in-
stead of turning left at the fire
hall, proceed across the bridge to
the island. To reach the museum,
take the first right on the island
and look for the sign. Those who
want more specific details can call
Howard at the museum at 426-
1020.
Although there is no charge for
the museum tour, donations are
accepted to help with its upkeep.
UPCOMING EVENTS for the
historical society include the fol-
lowing, Howard noted:
A Shelton-Mason County
Sports Hall of Fame meeting is
set for 6:30 p.m. September 19 at
the historical museum at Fifth

The Shelton Historic Preser-
vation Board will meet at 7 p.m.

September 30 at the museum.
The historical society will

: = .... through Friday
: City of Shelton crews will be at
Kneeland Park conducting neces-
sary annual maintenance on the
Imagination Station Playground
today.
Because of the application of
wood preservative necessary to
keep the installation free of rot
and insect damage, the play-
ground will be closed today and
Friday, says Shelton Parks and
Recreation Director Mark Ziegler.
"The playground," he ex-
plained, "needs annual main-
tenance to insure that it is in
good condition for many years.
The sealer slows and inhibits the
natural checking and cracking of
the lumber as it ages, and guards
against fungus and mildew."
Such maintenance, he said,
"must take place when the wood
is dry and the weather is still
warm."
Visitors to Bill Somers' museum with
the historical society will learn more
about maritime transportation through
photos and artifacts, punctuated by the
toots and whistles of a bygone era.
