Harstine Island: Marine-life art contesL involves kids By JOHN COOPER Hartstene Pointe mounted its first coloring contest and marine- life identification project this summer. The project involving young people from 2 to 15 years of age was the brainchild of Donna De- Cew, harbormaster of Indian Cove Marina, who saw identifica- tion of the marine life specimens that abound here as a worthwhile learning experience and an enjoy- able pastime. Your correspondent made an outline sketch of part of the ma- rina dock area and the surround- ings with such creatures as crabs, jellyfish, sea cucumber and a number of others. The children were instructed to find marine creatures around the marina, col- or them in on the sketch, and col- or the surroundings as well. CHILDREN ARE creative. Those who competed added to their coloring sheets by drawing in deer, fish, whales, the sun, stars and even a snail. Prizewinners were tlanna Mudrovich, 3, in the 2- to 4-year group; Devon Crummer, 6, in the 5- to 7-year contingent; Whitney Rosbach, 9, among 8- to 10-year- olds, and Miranda Brookman, 14, in tile 11 to 15 classification. Awards were given for the lon- gest list of sea creatures identi- fied. From the 2- to 7-year-old contestants Kayla Myer, 6, walked away with the honors with a list of 20. Markus Berndt, 9, topped the 8- to 15-year-old group by compiling a list of 42. Each contestant received a cer- tificate of completion and a me- mento geared to continue their in- terest in marine life. SOMETHING WAS missing this week: the opportunity to meet up with fellow islanders and see one&apos;s fellow citizens car- rying out a responsibility that keeps democracy alive while do- ing one's own duty by casting a ballot. The pleasure of voting in the hospitable surroundings of a familiar polling place in the com- munity hall was replaced by bal- mail. On Tueslay, .ep-. Stars and Stripes and g place signs were missing fron tho entrance to our State's liquor board okays two license requests The Washington State Liquor Control Board has approved two license requests from local estab- lishments. The Cottage, Incorporated, do- ing business at the Cottage Care at 11880 Highway 101 North near Shelton, received approval for a license to sell spirits, beer and wine in a restaurant and lounge setting. A second request is for a 60- day temporary restaurant and lounge license for the Chans Cor- poration, operating the Orient Express on Olympic Highway North. That license is for a }0-day temporary license while a trans- fer is in process. community hall. El Niflo, La Nifia, global warm- ing, geological unrest, weather cy- cles, call it what you will, condi- tions have modified summertime in this part of the Northwest. Al- most every day we hear someone remark that some crops are late or slow. One of the rhododendrons didn't bloom until September and then only half- heartedly. The animal kingdom, also, re- ceived miscues. Raccoons usually reproduce in the spring and live together as a family unit for a year. This season, litters of twins and triplets began making their appearance as late as July. With such disruption in normal sched- ules it is no wonder that genetic curiosities should occur. We noted one such aberration prowling around the deck railing this week - a bobtailed raccoon! This was no veteran of raccoon battles whose tail had been bitten off, and not mature enough for someone to have snipped it off to add to a Davey Crockett hat be- cause tails of such young ones lack the bushy showiness of their elders. This specimen had no more of a posterior appendage than a genuine Manx cat. Its furry nubbin tail gave the youthful marauder a more cuddly appearance. We did observe that without a tail this little fellow seemed to lack the agility to climb and balance that a rearend rud- der might provide. At least it wasn't a beaver which would have made it vocationally handicapped and probably unemployed. WHEN DINERS arrived last Wednesday, September 8, to eat lunch at the community hall they found the site of LaJune's Senior Meals affectionately dubbed Da- mon's Diner. Whickey Hopkins painted the sign to hang at the entrance to the hall on the alter- nate Wednesdays when the over- 50 crowd meets to eat and greet. The theme of the next luncheon on Wednesday, Septem- ber 22, is close harmony for the taste buds and auditory nerves. The menu of baked pork chops with applesauce on the side, scal- loped potateu¢ mixed: getables, rolls and butter, with custard cake for dessert, make a combina- tion that can make one's senses sing. To make one's heart sing, the Sweet Adelines are scheduled to be on.hand with vocal harmo- ny. Their blended voices will en- tertain those who come to dine. THOSE INTRIGUED by the activities of the Hartstene Pointe Travel Club and the opportunities their planning makes possible, and who have not gotten around to joining, might want to enroll at their next general meeting on Fri. day, October 1, social hour at 6 p.m. and light supper at 7 p.m, in the Pointe clubhouse. Last Thursday, September 9, 29 club members enjoyed a dine- out evening at Lake Nahwatzel in Matlock. Carol Lettich of the planning board reported it a suc- cessful and rewarding evening. The club sponsors a series of din- ing-out adventures with the next scheduled for Thursday, October 14, at Tweten's Lighthouse Res- taurant, Port Orchard. Pete Smith, travel club presi- dent, will speak about his trip to China following the business meeting. He has documented his travel in that land with 750 slides but promises to select a lesser number for his presentation. Pete's efforts should provide an informative vicarious travel ex- perience in a pleasant place among friendly people. AN UNWANTED and bother- some contingent of bees recently established a settlement within the confines of the Harstine Nursery on Island Road North. Paul Holden decided that it was time to forcibly eject the invaders. Last week he procured spray to squirt a pressurized liquid into the center of the intruders' en- campment from a safe distance of 15 feet. Following strategic direc- tions on the label Paul launched a night attack when the enemy might be less alert and resting from the tiring activities of a bee's typical busy day. Taking careful aim he triggered the lethal charge which reached the target. Sentries must have been alert in the insect camp for within sec- onds a suicide squadron of apiar- ian flyers was airborne. They in- stinctively homed in on the jet spray and made a bee line to its source, landing on Paul's head and hand and automatically in- jecting their charges of biological warfare material. Fortunately Paul did not suffer a severe allergic reaction and claimed victory in the encounter. He estimated that 98 percent of the intruders had been wiped out. His right hand, the one used to operate the spray can, was ex- tremely swollen two days after the encounter. A LARGER THAN usual number of community club mem- bers gathered to hear a presenta- tion on the progress of property assessment by Mason County As- sessor Dixie Smith, along with Terry Bowe and Kathy Brewer. Smith presented a wealth of in- formation on the assessment pro- cess and the legal requirements which govern it. She explained special assessments including One for forest protection, exemptions including the physical improve- ment of a single family dwelling and exemptions for senior citizens and the disabled. Methods of ap- pealing assessments were out- lined as well. Chief Appraiser Bowe ad- dressed the process of appraisal which he characterized as "a studied opinion based on survey- ing the sales of comparable prop- erties in the area over a period of time." He emphasized that care is taken to make appraisals fair and equitable and that input from property owners is often helpful in pinpointing a less-than-obvious element that would modify a property's appraised worth. Visiting guests introduced were Kathy Smithers, Barbara LaJune's daughter; Tom and Sherrie Gill, who will be building a home near Tom's parents, Mike and Donna Gill; and Elizabeth Berndt, who with her husband and children are having a house built near the Briesmeisters.

Thus the island population con- tinues to increase. REMINDERS WERE made by Rosalie Melnick, theatre club co-president, that the play, The Mystery of Jarrell's Cove, will be presented at 8 p.m. on Friday, September 24, and Saturday, September 25, at the community hall. Geri Lewis announced that the annual "Holiday House" gift and decoration bazaar will be held on the Saturday after Thanksgiving at the hall. Willa Smith extended an invi- tation to all to attend the Agate Grange program tomorrow, Sep- tember 17, at 7 p.m. at the hall to hear Lynn Lloyd Conner speak on Habitat for Humanity. A perusal of the minutes of September 6, 1939 revealed that 60 years ago County Commission- er V.E. Paul asked a committee made up of Earl Harriman, Mar- tin Goetsch and Hugo Glazer to meet with the commissioners to discuss ferry issues. It was sug- gested that an 8:30 run be added to the Harstine Island Ferry "so the Islanders would get in to town about the time the stores open." Also on that date, about a year after the newly organized wom- en's club had contributed money for the purchase of shingles, was a motion empowering secretary Helen Johnson "to get in touch with the women's club and see if we can have some more money." THE SALVAGING and recy- cling of aluminum cans, Don Nichols reported at the meeting, continues to be profitable for the community club. The organiza- tion reminds islanders, however, that it ceased to collect bottles and tin cans some time ago. That valuable recycling effort is being left to individuals. Only alumi- num cans are to be left in the bins at the hall. To the club's question, should the Thanksgiving and Christmas meals at the hall be continued? the response was an enthusiastic affirmative. Penny Orth will co- chair these events along with Barbara LaJune who, with her late husband Damon, pioneered the outreach events which accom- modate singles and couples who might otherwise find themselves dining alone on these holidays. A nominating committee was appointed to prepare a slate of of- ricers who will serve during the last year of the 20th Century. John Cooper, Fred Burgdorf and Kay Braget were named for this committee. SATURDAY WORK party vol- unteers Bob Helm, Gene Nelson, Jack and Diane Myers, Frank Lewis, John Doherty, George and Sue Perry, Jim Anderson and Leo Echaniz got started bright and early last week on community hall repairs. By 10 a.m. many hours of hard labor were complet- ed, loose siding had been nailed on tight and caulking was being finished up preparatory to paint- ing the exterior. The porch floor- ing had been removed and new construction was beginning with the hope that the entryway would be ready for churchgoers Sunday. A last-minute check revealed that the goal has been met and the porch had been restored. 100 Years Ago From the Mason County Journal of September 15. 1899 County Treasurer Fredson's new residence is fast nearing comple- tion. and will be one of the nicest homes in town. Messrs Willey and Wood have completed the wood work. and painting and papering are now being done The building contains a number of good things, evolved by Mrs. Fredson, who has been bossing the job. It has a fine pressed brick fireplace, the best in the County. The shock that some people though was an earthquake last Friday evening was merely the com- ing together of two bicyclists near the bank corner, to the injury of feelings and both wheels. The great wonder is that such accidents are not more frequent from the custom of some to ride fast on streets after dark without.a light. It is unsafe to ride without a light, and at dusk or dark, sensible riders do not make a practice of "scorching." 35 Years Ago From the September 17, 1964, Ma- son County Journal: Mason County voters Tuesday rejected for a second time a bond is- sue to construct a bridge to Har- stine Island.
