Your correspondent was curi-
ous when he ran across the word
"crudites" on a meal menu, so he
consulted the several dictionaries
that have been accumulated over
the years. Crudites, derived from
the French word cruditG was not
listed in the Webster Dictionary
published by Merriam Webster in
1963.
THE WORD DOES appear,
several editions later, in the 1999
publication. In addition to giving
its basic definition as "rawness"
the tome indicates that the word
became part of American culinary
vocabulary in 1960 and means
"pieces of raw vegetables (such as
celery or carrot sticks) served as
an hers d'oeuvre often with a dip."
Phonetically the word is pro-
nounced, crew-dee-tay. Of course
enterprising chefs added to basic
celery and carrot bits by includ-
ing asparagus, baby corn, broc-
coli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes
and cucumbers, as well as green
beans, mushrooms, radishes and
zucchini. You will have the op-
portunity to discover what will be
on the tray of crudites when you
come to the LaJune Senior Lunch
on Wednesday, September 26, at
noon at the community hall. Our

The population of coyotes on
Harstine Island continues to fill
the stillness of the deep, dark night
hours with their chilling yipping
and howling. HouseJ and people
do not deter these wild ones. In
New Jersey, the coyote population
has increased by 100 each year for
the last 30 years and the creatures
have been sighted in every county
in that state. The gray wolf-like
canine began to take up residency
in New York State 75 years ago.
On May 22, 2006 a coyote was
caught in Central Park, New York
City, after a wild chase of some 20
hours.
An official of the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife
states: "There were no document-
ed coyote attacks on humans in
Washington State until 2006. In
April 2006, Washington Depart-
ment of Fish and wildlife officers
euthanized two coyotes in Bellev-
ue after two young children were
bitten while their parents were
nearby. Coyotes had also scratched
and snapped at two women and
charged a man in the same area.
These coyotes' unusually aggres-
sive behavior likely resulted from
being fed by people."

• Grace Michelle Brown, 19,
Langley, Whidbey Island, who

heroin, was ordered to serve a

community service. She will re-

Ient in jail after her arrest in
lay with a Hoodsport man in a
ar in which drugs and parapher-

officer of the Washington State
Patrol stopped to offer assistance.
_ |Brown's attorney, Andrew Ru-

i[leaned up and has passed urine

0ber.
!| "My choice was a wrong one,"
,, ,
told Judge Sawyer. I d like to

|he added that her dream is to be
lVeterinarian, a dream Sawyer re-
minded her may not be attainable
for someone with a drug crime on
her record.
"You're only 19 years old," the
judge said. "However, if you con-
tinue to participate with the group
you're in, you're not going to have
a happy and long future. Get into
a clean and sober community," he
advised her. Drug-using friends,
he added, "will drag you down.
They don't want you clean and so-
ber, so find some people you can
get a common goal with."
Sawyer employed a first:time
offender option, he said, because it
involves 24 months of court super-
vision. On her release, he said, she
must have a drug-alcohol evalu-
ation and follow up with any rec-
ommended treatment. During her
supervision she is to have random
urinalysis or breath analysis to
assure freedom from substances.
Her legal financial obligations
of $2,329 include $279 in court
costs and a statutory drug fine of
$1,ooo.
• Michael A. Griffith, 22, of
190 East Forest Drive, Belfair,
was sentenced to 90 days in jail
for assault in the third degree. He
was convicted in August by a jury
that found he hit 18-year-old Rena
Corkum with a pickup truck they
owned in common.
Griffith testified at trial that
Corkum had taken the truck at a
time when he needed it to get to
work. Evidence showed that the
two got into an altercation and
that she suffered bruises on her
right side and a cut on her left
hand when the vehicle hit her as
he drove away. They were a couple
when they purchased the 1998
Ford F-150 with the help of a down
paym,nt funded by Corkum's
mother, but had split up when the
assault occurred.
"I sat through this trial. I saw
you bob and weave," Judge Saw-
yer said.
He ordered Griffith to take a
class in anger management and
to pay $3,066.04 in fines and other
legal financial obligations associ-
ated with the case.
