NINE HUNDRED POUNDS of moose meat is in the freezer of Verne Schuffenhauer of Shelton following a hunting trip to British Columbia on September 29. Antler measurement of the animal -- which weighed about ]850 pounds on the hoof -- was 531/2 inches. September 13, 1973 Dear Morn, Dad & Grandpa, Guess what, yesterday we had a flood? It was really exciting. ! was home from school because exams have started. Mrs. Hulonce was taking a nap in the lounge (by the way Mrs.' heart races like Uncle Bill's does) and 1 was sitting in the kitchen reading about 3 when I looked outside and saw that instead of the little creek that is supposed to be in the yard was now a big, roaring river. Portland House is on top of a hill wtih a big garden and trees. 1 got such a shock that 1 ran and woke Mrs. up. It had been raining and thundering for only about and hour -- and to think that on Tuesday it was almost like summer. The dam began to overflow and it flowed right into the cement works. This all happened in about 15 minutes. Mr. Hulonce said it was just like a wave coming in down at the cement works. The whole place was under 3-4 feet of water in that short of time. They Pauline Wood ioins WAC Pauline Wood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul E. Bloomfield, Route I, Shelton, recently enlisted into the Women's Army Corps, according to SSG Bob Sharkey, U.S. Army Recruiter. Wood left for Fort McClellan, Alabama on September 11 to begin basic training. Upon completion of eight weeks basic training, she will receive advanced individual training at Fort Gordon, Georgia. Aften ten weeks of advanced individual training, she will be assigned to Fort Sill, Oklahoma as a Communications Center Specialist, for a minimum of twelve months. tried to put sandbags around all the doorways but there wasn't time. It flooded the power house, (our lights went out because we're on company power). The brand new conference room that had been completed the day before, the kiln with the tons of cement and bricks in them, the office block and all of the office block basement with records and books. The people park their cars outside of the works and they were floating around the road outside of the works. They started floating when a bus went ripping through the water on the road. Mrs. and 1 didn't know this was happening until - have to go back a bit Mrs. and 1 were walking around the garden looking at the new river and we thought we better wait at the gate for Paul and Vicky to come home from school so Paul went to take his friends home - all the roads were flooded in front of the house. Finally Paul came hgme - I~A hours to come home because Lithgow was struck too? (Usually takes 20 minutes.)Well, back to Paul, Vicky and ! went and took the friends home anyway and found out the dam was overflowing and the cement works was flooded. Mr. Hulonce came home and told us all about it at 6 or so. I guess one staff man was walking around looking at all the damage and fell in a hole - the man behind him did too and one of our friends was laughing at them because all you could see was their hats floating away. One of the men got out and pushed Brian in? No one was hurt and when Mr. came home he was laughing about the whole flood. Today the water has receeded. In some of the works there was 18 feet of water. Now the dumbest thing ! ever heard is that the electricians have gone on strike because it seems a labourer turned off one of the machines that an electrician was supposed to turn off - we think they didn't want to work in the muck. The unions in Australia are really strong and will strike on anything. Mr. just came home and said that we got 3~ inches of rain and he found the rain gauge at the bottom of one of the plants. By the way, we have a boat and motor and we're on high ground.
