The moon and stars are bright in the clear night sky and the moon reflects on the lake water. Every morning the lake level is down as the Tacoma Public Utili- ty generates power and brings the lake down so that there is flood control in the Skokomish Valley. • HOOD CANAL Kiwanis Club is selling raffle tickets at $1 apiece on a cord of cut madrona wood.

Chanterelles, he to an- said,  live for hundreds of years, was Like other mushrooms, they recy- made recently by an anonymous cle in the wild by helping tree contributor. The donation was roots to take up water, he said. He told his listeners that mushrooms usually aren't poison- ous to handle, even if they are poisonous to eat. As a general rule, he added, "bad mushrooms" have a bad odor when they are cooked. "Eat no little brown mush- rooms," he warned, showing slides of the various species and telling viewers of the characteris- tics to avoid when looking for ed- ible mushrooms.

Theft of meaningful flags angers South Hill resident A pair of flags was reported stolen this week from a Shelton home and the owner isn't very happy about the loss. "It just kind of torques me off," said Dick Taylor, who noticed the standard-sized American and Washington State flags were missing Monday. He figures somebody stole them either last weekend or during that day while he was at work. The American flag has special meaning for Taylor. It flew over the Navy installation at Pacific Beach when he was commanding officer there. He said he'd had it with him at his family's various residences around the world since 1982. Both flags were flown on the Third Street side of the Taylor's South Hill area home. Taylor said he didn't have a value for the flags, but added that each were sewn. Taylor, a retired Navy com- mander, is executive director of the Shelton-Mason County Cham- ber of Commerce and a candidate for a seat on the Shelton City Commission. Gorton calls forest plan a disaster for peninsula folk U.S. Senator Slade Gorton, ac- cording to a press release issued by his office last Thursday, quot- ed an Olympic Peninsula resident when he told a panel of U.S. For- est Service officials that the Pres- ident's 1994 Northwest Forest Plan "is an environmental, ecolog- ical, educational and economic disaster." Gorton said the plan, which Vice President Gore had charac- terized as action to avoid harvest gridlock, has resulted in lawsuits involving survey and manage- ment requirements. The latest suits, he said, "are enough to make me and my constituents wonder whether we are heading toward a no-cut policy." His press release said Gorton wasn't willing to stand by and let his constituents' needs be ignored GOT HEADACHES? Call 1-800-777-3239 (24 hr.) Order your free video on and quoted his comments to the committee. He said real people have suf- fered in "towns such as Forks, Hoquiam, Morton and Rochester on the Olympic Peninsula that depend upon an even-flow, sus- tainable yield that is the very life breath of timber communities and families. "Instead of providing products from thick, verdant forests of the Pacific Northwest, jobs and a stable economy, the Clinton-Gore Plan has created record levels of unemployment, school closures and the necessity to import tim- ber products from other countries to supply the needs of Ameri- cans," Gorton charged in state- ments before the mid-September Senate hearing. are STILL Sl 2 Evening appointments available Jaqua's Place 161 Lake Cushman Road Hoodsport, WA 98548 (3SO) 877-0064 JAQUA BRITEsTAR Call for appointment; walk-ins welcome.
