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. in court ing Dallas E. Johnston, 39, 113 E. 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 nel~ ruler•st cOmDounded Oady annuil yield on gO-day notice accounts 5.25* -- 5.47 ~rllerest compounded dally annual yield on IOqisslx)ok sawngs "$1,000 rn~mmum deOOSfl "A ~ubstanhal #~4etes! perkily Js reguit~ for early withdtawQI • OLYMPIA Sth Ik Ftankhn * TUMWATER 3242 CapttoI at~d. • LACEV AGENCY 4t 10 Pacific Ave * SHELTON 15t ~nd l~3i|,oad Tulla Kimball II 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.

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.

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, 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.
