Cole and Sons property across the
road from the Shelton Marma.
On Tuesday, port commission-
ers voted 3-0 to authorize the
port's attorney to proceed with
litigation, if necessary, to ensure
work to remove the tank begins by
September 25.
"It needs to be done. They're
just kind of dragging their tbet,"
Port Commissioner Rick Byrd
said.
Old fuel tanks located adjacent
to the Shelton Yacht Club were
taken down nearly a year ago, in
early October 2006. But the last
tank, located across State Route
3, remains standing.
At the time the other tanks
were demolished last year, the

way would have to be closed for
some 45 minutes.
The port earlier purchased
the property fi)r a marina project
there that calls for 46 new parking
spaces, a bulkhead and a walkway
from the parking lot to the pier.
In a related matter, Patti Mill-
er-Crowley, the port's manager of
phmning and development, said
Tuesday the port had received a
gnmt from the state's Clean Ves-
sel Fund fi)r a floating restroom at
the marina. The grant is tbr up to
$150,000 and includes a connec-
tion to an on-site pumpout, as well
as maintenance.
The port has a 25 percent
nmtching obligation for the grant,
but will receive credit for $14,000

MAKING SENSE OF INVESTING
Poetic skin te t gets
another life in prison
A Washington State C'orrec-
tions Department inmate will
remain behind bars for life af-
ter pleading to his third violent
crime and being sentenced on
consecutive Mondays in Ma-
son County Superior Court this
month.
"I accept your sentence, and
I laugh," 41-year-old Charles
Christopher Loy told Judge
James Sawyer in court Monday.
Loy pled guilty on September 10
to an amended charge of assault
in the first degree and fblony ha-
rassment.
He was initially charged
with rape in the second degree
and felony assault in the wake
of an incident involving a 19-
year-old cellmate from Shelton,
whom he threatened and fbreed
to perform oral sex, according to
charging documents. Loy told a
detective investigating the case
that his neo-Nazi beliefs do not
allow homosexual practices.
Loy, who is currently serving
a lif sentence for a King Coun-
ty murder and was convicted in
Nevada of first-degree robbery,
told the court Monday: "From
the beginning I've claimed that
this conviction is for one reason
only: I am a proud member of a
skinhead organization."
He read a poem about fighting
for one's beliefs, a piece he said
was sent to him by a friend, Mat-
thew Hill, whom he described as
a political prisoner.
Given the nature of Loy's
sentence, Judge Sawyer said he
was assigning no costs except
for a $500 contribution to the
crime victims' fund. A restitu-
tion hearing was scheduled for
January 28, 2008.

Sanderson Field Master Plan Up-
date, which is just getting under
way. The lead consultant on the
project is Century West Engineer-
ing, a Bend, Oregon, firm that has
completed more than 400 airport
projects throughout the Pacific
Northwest.
The master plan update will
consist of three phases and take
nine to 12 months to complete,
said David Miller of Century West
Engineering. The Airport Advisory
Committee working on the master
plan has 10 members. "The com-
mittee and staff will have a lot of
reading ahead of them; that I can
promise," Miller said.
Byrd, citing recent news re-
ports about delays at major U.S.
airports, said he thinks there will
be more regional airport flights
in the future with new light jets
being built. Sanderson Field will
have to prepare for a lot more
business in the future, he added.

roofing the hangar known as
Building 1 at Sanderson Field to
Snyder Roofing of Snohomish for
$235,000 plus sales tax. This was

placing 43,375 square feet of roof.
Work should start on October 3
and end by December 11.
