IN OTHER news in the Hood
Canal West area:
Karin Marshall, assistant
fire chief for Lake Cushman Fire
made in memory of the donor's
late wife.
Smoke and haze on the hills
above Lake Cushman have
cleared and the weather has been
clear, sunny and warm. However,
we need to remember that the
haze was smoke from the forest
fire north of us in the mountains,
and that the dry weather means
extreme fire danger. Everyone
should observe the burn ban.
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. The wood will be delivered
in the local area. If the winner
lives out of the area or doesn't
burn wood a $125 check will be
substituted. The winning ticket
will be drawn at the Kiwanis club
meeting November 18.
The Hood Canal Institute for
Christian Studies started its vid-
eo class, "The Life and Teachings
of Jesus," featuring Dr. Daniel
Doriana of Covenant Theological
Seminary in Saint Louis, Mis-
souri, on September 21 and 22.
The series will continue with a
daytime and an evening session
through February 8 and 9. Infor-
mation on the series is available
from Pastor Jack Keith at 877-
9688 or Rick Rhone at 877-0085.
MUSHROOMS were a sea-
sonal topic at the recent Hoods-
port Friends of the Library meet-
ing which featured Dr. Michael
Beug of The Evergreen State Col-
lege.
Dr. Beug told an interested
group of mushroom hunters that
millions of yellow chanterelles are
harvested in the Pacific North-
west each year. 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.
Dr. Beug recommended a trio
of reference books for his audi-
ence: Savory Wild Mushrooms by
Margaret McKenny and Daniel E.
Stuntz; Mushrooms Demystified
by Daniel Arora; and Growing
Gourmet and Medicinal Mush-
rooms by Paul Stamets.

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

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.
