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'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-.

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.

activities of the Hartstene Pointe

to joining, might want to enroll at

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.

niz and Jim Anderson pause in their work on the new
cement foundation before going on to replace deterior.
ating wood on the historic building.
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. The bond issue for
construction of an addition to
Pioneer School was approved by
that district's voters as was a bond
issue by Grapeview Fire District's
voters for the purchase of a fire
truck. Voters in the North Mason
School District for the second time
defeated a special levy for main-

cement foundation before going on to replace deterior.

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."

From the September 17, 1964, Ma-

Mason County voters Tuesday

construction of an addition to
Pioneer School was approved by
that district's voters as was a bond
issue by Grapeview Fire District's
voters for the purchase of a fire
truck. Voters in the North Mason
