Have you ever found yourself in the frustrating position of going to
vote, only to be faced with unfamiliar names for some posts up for
election, making it impossible to cast an intelligent vote? You either
take a guess and hope you've voted for the best candidate, or you don't
cast a vote for anyone.
To avoid such a situation in next month's general election, the
North Mason PTA is offering you a chance to meet the candidates who
will be running opposed on November 2. This includes one of the three
positions open for the local School Board, for which three candidates
have filed, the three commission posts of the Belfair Cemetery district
for which there are four contenders, and the two open spots on the
Allyn Port District commission, each being contested by two men.
Also on the agenda will be a representative of Fire district 5 to
explain the purpose of the $160,000 special levy which will be on the
ballot in November.
Since all the candidates are local people, running for local district
offices, it is possible you already know all of them personally and have
a good idea for whom you wish to vote. But if you find some of the
names unfamiliar, it would be worth your while to attend the October
14 meeting of the PTA to learn the issues and meet the candidates so
you can cast an informed vote.
For residents of the Grapeview School district, a chance to meet
both the candidates for the contested position on the Grapeview School
Board will be available at two meetings at Mason Lake. (See Mason
Lake Meandering column.)
Commissioners of local districts, in most cases, are responsible for
spending part of your tax money. You owe it to yourself to see that
you choose wisely when you go to the polls.

Editor, Huckleberry Herald:
For those interested in
fishing, want some statistics?
The record shows Sport
Fishermen caught 93,700 salmon
in Puget Sound during 1968 and
Commercial Fishermen caught,
(hold on) 1,921,827 salmon, or
over 95% of the entire datch in
Puget Sound. IS THIS FAIR to
the Sportsmen? Why does the
State Fisheries Department allow
this unfair condition to exist?
It is planned to organize
350,000 sport fishermen of
Washington into a political
vote-getting association and
demand a fair distribution of the
salmon that belong to ALL the
people. Our own lobby will
represent us in Olympia.
For $1 you can become a
member of the Olympia Fish and
Game Protective Association -
membership applications are now
available at the Tahuya Grocery.
Join now as we did; we need you!

Editor, Huckleberry Herald:
Just a note of thanks for the
lovely article in the Sept. 16 issue
of the "Herald". I hope that
through our efforts more people
in Mason County will become
aware of the needs these lonely
servicemen must have.
This year, as last, I will be
looking forward to receiving the
Herald. Though many have
dubbed it as an oversized gossip
sheet, to one who is lucky to be
home three months of the year
(and that is rare) it is an enjoyable
way to keep in touch with old
friends and classmates. Even the
student nurses at the center find
it delightful. Keep up the good
work! Emily Meyer
One of the Kitsap County
members of the Tri-County Hood
Canal Advisory Board has
announced his resignation from
the Board with the charge that
the group is a figurehead intended
more to protect local prerogatives
from the state than to get
anything done.
Jay Roof, a Poulsbo lawyer,
contends that the Board is limited
to inquiring into matters
requested by the County
Commissioners of the three
Counties surrounding Hood Canal
but that they never request
anything.
About all the council has left
is holding dinner meetings and
listening to guest speakers, he
said. It has become a figurehead
in case the state might ask "Are
you doing anything to protect
Hood Canal?" Roof said.
He claimed the Board's
ineffectiveness was increased last
year when the bylaws were
rewritten to prevent its members
from speaking either publicly or
privately on any issue involving
Hood Canal, other than those on
which a Board of County
Commissioners sought
information or a decision.

present position is that of
Assistant Chief of the
Environmental Management
Division of the Game
Department.
Ted and his wife, Wyn, have
three children, Krysia 7, Allison
5, and Forrest 2.
Ted's long-term interest in
education and his desire to
become involved in a significant
We have a very important
decision to make in November
and that is to elect a new school
board member. We only have
three in this district and they are
elected for a two year term, so it's
important to know the men
running for this position. Ted
Hoffman from Mason Lake and
Stuart Marks from Grapeview are
the candidates and we would like
you to attend our Women's Fire
Aux. meeting on October 27th
and the MBC Club the 8th to
meet both candidates. Here is a
little background on Ted
Hoffman. He hails from Grays
Harbor where he was graduated
from Hoquiam High School and
attended Grays Harbor Junior
College for two quarters before
enlisting in the Army. He served
in the far east during the Korean
conflict.
Upon completion of his
service commitment he entered
the University of Washington
where he earned a Bachelor of
Science degree and a teaching
certificate. During part of his
undergraduate training he was
employed by the Seattle
Children's Home as a recreation
supervisor and house father. He
was later employed by the
Fisheries Research Institute of the
University and worked for the
Institute in Alaska and Seattle.
Upon graduation from the
University he taught biology at
Mercer Island High School.
Ted returned to the
University of Washington to work
toward his graduate degree.
During this period he was
employed as a research assistant
for the Laboratory of Radiation
Biology. After completing his
community service prompted him
to run for the school board
position. He feels that the
Grapeview School provides a fine
education for the children of the
district and he would like to take
an active part in helping to
continue this tradition.

See Louise Ewart's column
for a similar sketch of Stuart
Marks, the other candidate, who
hails from Grapeview.
My mother, Klm Kimmel and
I had a family reunion last week.
This sounds like a big deal, but
actually there are only four of us.
We used to have a large family but
now just Mom, my mother's sister
Hattie Roach, and our cousin
Velma Kramer are all that are left.
They stayed three days and we
really had fun.
From someone who has never
won anything, I write this with
great envy (we need a boat also).

Sugar Shack on the Cove at

Mr. Bressler was born Dec. 10,
1892, in Eureka, S.D. He moved
to Bismarck, S.D., where he was
reared and educated. He was
married in Aberdeen, S.D. to
Alma Trouse, on Oct. 12, 1921.
She preceeded him in death on
Sept. 1 6, 1 966. He married
Antionette Richards in Port
Orchard, June 17, 1967.
He worked as a steamfitter
and plumber for various firms,
and was employed during World
War II at Puget Sound Naval
Shipyard. Mr. Bressler was past
commander of American Legion,
Post 149; past commander of
World War I Veterans, Barracks

our annual grape harvest and this
year the harvest is just getting
underway. Each year, too, there
are fewer grapes as the grape lands
are slowly being built up by the
homes of newcomers to our area.
When the grapes are just right to
be picked signs will appear at the
main roads.
Mr. and Mrs. McGuire decided
to have a few neighbors on
Orchard Beach in for coffee and
cake to celebrate their 55th
wedding anniversary and when
the guests and the couple's son
and daughter and families came to
call there were twenty-five guests,
and a festive celebration followed.
A contest has developed for
the position on the Grapeview
School Board due to the
retirement of board chairman,
Don Pogreba. Two fine young
men are running for the position.
Ted Hoffman of Mason Lake and
Stuart Marks of Grapeview.
Jeannine Peterson has a profile on
Mr. Hoffman this week and I have
a few facts on Stuart Marks for
you. Mr. Marks was originally
from Montana, and received his
college degree in Texas. He is
employed at the Navy Yard in
Bremerton as a planner and
estimator and has been in this
area since 1958. Mr. and Mrs.
Marks have three children in the
Grapeview School and two more
to start in a few years. Their
childrens' ages are 10, 8, 6, 5, and
3. So you see, Mr. Marks has a
bova in ~temerton th~ X~,~. of
September. ~ig 'otother lay is so
proud of her and tries so hard to
help take care of her.
Our 4-H girls who
demonstrated at the Fair gave the
sew-and-so's something to be
proud of and did the double job
of making leader and mother
Patty Pettitt proud of the results.
Anita Pettitt placed second and
won a red ribbon for her "suprise
muffins with each muffin having a
different flavoring in each one,
such as jam, walnuts, orange peel
and so on. Peri Pettitt won a
green participation ribbon for her
demonstration on how to diaper a
baby four ways.
It is a little difficult to write
news that is coming up that
depends on the weather such as
the car wash that is scheduled for
Saturday if it doesn't rain. So by
the time you read this there will
either have been a car wash or it
was rained out. The car wash was
to raise funds for the local 4-H
group for extras.
The Stretch Island bridge
looks like it will be in the news
again and certainly poses some
questions. Tentative plans call for
a wood bridge built on the old
pilings which will be treated with
something that is supposed to
make it last 50 years. If it is that
strong, to make the pilings last,
what will it do to the shellfish and
marine life in the area? Because
the tidal action will carry the
chemical all over the area. I see by
the Tacoma paper that plans are
going ahead to condemn the
