The need for improvement
of a number of sidewalks in the
downtown area was pointed out
by Assistant City Engineer
Dennis Colvin at the Shelton
Chamber of Commerce meeting
last Thursday night.
Colvin showed slides he had
taken of the condition of a
number of sidewalks.
Soiree of the problems, he
said. were erosion of the
concrete, the sidewalk sunken
away from the curb, broken
sections of curb, sidewalk
buckles from tree roots, patch
jobs which are not holding, and
many areas where there has
been an addition between the
original sidewalk and the curb.
Colvin said the primary
responsibility for sidewalks is
with the property owner and
that an LID for improvement
could be formed. The city. he
said, while it cannot participate
in the direct cost, can handle
engineering details, call for
bids and supervise the
construction work.
The condition of the side-
walks has created a number of
hazards to people walking on
them, he commented.
The cost of an average
seven-foot sidewalk with a curb
would be about $13 a foot,
Colvin said.
Some areas, he said, have
adequate curbs and the curbs
would not have to be replaced.
Suspended sentence given
for drug possession
RobetTt-D. Eagle. Matlock,
was given a five-year sus-
pended sentence on a charge of
possession of a controlled
substance. The sentence was
imposed by Judge Frank Baker
in Mason County Superior
Court Friday.
Deputy Prosecutor Gary
Burleson told the court Eagle
had two prior felony convic-
tions, both for which he
received deferred sentences
and completed the deferrals
with no problem.
One of the charges was for
forgery and the other for
possession of a controlled sub-
stance.
As a condition of the
suspension, Eagle was ordered
to spend one year irl the county
jail, the first six months in
confinement with a review after
that time to consider work
release.
He was also ordered to enter
a local drug rehabilitation
program after complet!ng his
jail sentence. He was also
ordered to pay the cost of
,prosecution and to pay $150
-into the current expense fund of
the county.
Testifying in Eagle's behalf
was a former employer, Glenn
Correa, who told the court the
young man was a good worker
and had been employed by him
in development of a golf course
and in the Christmas trees for
several months.
Charles Gibson, operator
of a cedar salvage company,
testified that Eagle presently
worked for him and that he had
been a good worker. Eagle, he
said, had been in charge of
crews of up to 20 men.
Burleson told the court
Eagle completed probation on a
previous drug charge in
December, 1974 and that the
offense with which he was
charged occurred April 11,
1975.
Testimony at an evidence
suppression hearing which had
been held before Eagle pleaded
guilty, indicated that Eagle had
come to the door of a house
which officers were searching
under a search warrant and that
after talking to the officers
briefly, he had fled and had
thrown away a small vial which
was found to contain ampheta-
mine pills.
Shelton attorney James
Sawyer told the court Eagle was
presently living with his
common-law wife in the Mat-
lock 'area and that Eagle's
younger brother also made his
home with the couple.
Sawyer asked that Eagle be
allowed to participate in work
release during any jail time
imposed.

Poplar, Shelton, appeared in
Mason County Superior Court
before Judge Frank Baker Friday
for identification on a charge of
sale or delivery of a controlled
substance, lie is accused of
making a sale of LSD April 29.
Johnston was released on
personal recognizance after Judge
Baker appointed Shelton attorney
Gerald Whitcomb to represent
him on the charge.
Johnston was arrested at the
courttio~e-earlier in the day by
sheriff's deputies.
William O. Hill, 28, Rt. 5, Box
229, Bremerton, was booked into
Mason County jail Saturday and
turned over to Grays Harbor
County authorities on a felony
warrant in that county.
Hill had been arrested on a
charge of creating a public
nuisance and investigation by
officers turned up the warrant
against him in Grays Harbor
County.
Home repair warning given
Shelton police this week
cautioned home owners in the
area that they have received calls
about questionable home repair
contractors working in the area.
They concentrate, officers
said, on older houses and older
people.
They suggested that anyone
who questions a home repair sales
proposal should contact the
Chamber of Commerce or police
department before agreeing to
have work done.

On September 2 Mason
County Humane Officer Tulla
Kimball augmented her sche-
dule to include management of
the Shelton City Pound and
accepted the additional duties
of city humane officer.
Ms. Kimball was appointed
county humane officer on
March 4, 1975. Prior to that
time she had founded Versatile
Horsemen's Association, Inc.,
the local organization that
maintains a large animal
shelter to serve the entire state.
The shelter was built by the
physical labor and the fund-
raising efforts of 13 members.
Tulla Kimball, an owner of
horses, rides with Olympic
Reindears drill team. She has
lived in the area since 1950.
Years of experience as a
professional groomer of dogs
and employment in a veterinary
hospital has provided a back-
ground in the handling of
canines.
"I would like," she states,
"to see the city pound enlarged
to accommodate county animals
and to function as a humane
shelter."

attempt brings revocation
Stanley Watters, Shelton,
was committed to the State
Department of Institutions on
charges of selling marijuana on
two occasions after a deferred
sentence he had been given on
the charge earlier was revoked.
A hearing was held in
Mason County Superior Court
before Judge Gerry Alexander
last Thursday on a petition to
revoke Watters' parole.
Judge Alexander had given
Watters a deferred sentence on
the charge August 29 and as a
condition of the deferral had
ordered that he spend some
time in the Mason County jail.
Testimony at the hearing
indicated Watters had been
placed on trustee status in the
jail and had been working
outside the courthouse. When
he returned to the jail area, a
routine search had turned up a
small package of marijuana in
his shoe.
Deputy Sheriff Douglas
Wright testified to finding the
marijuana during the search
and Detective Brian Schoening
testified to testing the sub-
stance and determining that it
was marijuana.
Judge Alexander sentenced
Watters to a maximum of five
years in the custody of the
Department of Institutions,
after finding that he had
violated his parole.

Barnett gets
" Call
Timothy L. Barnett, Shel-
ton, who was found guilty of
second degree assault against
James Cross, an off-duty police
officer, by a Mason County
Superior Court jury last spring,
was given a suspended prison
term by Judge Robert Doran
Friday.
Judge Doran sentenced Bar-
nett to a maximum term of 10
years in prison, but suspended
the sentence for five years.
He ordered that as a condi-
tion of the suspension, Barnett
spend one year in the county
jail, on work release, as long as
he is employed. If he is not
employed he must be confined
in the county jail.
The judge said if Barnett
could get into an in-residence
alcohol treatment program, he
could be released from the jail
sentence to go there.
He was also ordered to pay
the cost of prosecution and $150
into the current expense fund of
the county.
Deputy Prosecutor Gary
Burleson told the court a pre-
sentence report recommended
that Barnett be denied proba-
tion. The report, Burleson said,
indicates Barnett has a
tendency toward assaultive be-
havior when he has been drink-
ing and that he has a long list of
misdemeanor offense, most of
them involving liquor.
Sheiton attorney Gerald
Whitcomb, who represented
Barnett, told the court that as
