at the Deer
week there
was to be a drill at Hartstene
Pointe. These are working drills,
so if you are really seriously
interested, come dressed
accordingly and prepared to pitch
in.
The Women's Club gained two
new members at last week's
meeting. The membership
welcomed Myrtle Parker, a new
resident at Hartstene Pointe, and
Millie Snyder, wife of the state
park ranger at Jarrell's Cove. (Her
husband Tom also takes care of
Squaxin Island and McMicken
State Parks).
The gals extended a big thank
you to Dick Seward for his efforts
in repairing the temperamental
sliding door between the dining
room and main room at the hall
recently.
It was announced that,
weather permitting, there would
be a work party at the hall to
install the new section ,of
aluminum roofing over the dining
room. The "good fairies" and
perhaps even some of the "wee
folk" must have done a terrific
job of harassing Old Sol who, at
best, has been pretty fickle these
past couple of months. Because
one look at Mother Nature's
mood Friday had most of the
volunteers convinced there
wouldn't be a ghost of a chance
of holding the work party. But
then Saturday morning the clouds
parted and Old Sol spread a full
measure of warmth on 'ye old
hall'! The following day, Sunday,
dawned with nature's sprinkling
system going full force.
Last Saturday's good
Samaritans included AI Bacon,
Bud Glaser, Pete Peterson, Ike
Carlson, Glenn Yates and Max
Smith, to work on the roof. The
second crew consisted of Sid
Baunsgard and Joe LaLande, who
kept busy repairing the outside
door of the kitchen. And last, but
not least, one island gal won a
whole bunch of points with the
two crews by showing up at just
the right moment with a pot of
hot soup and rolls. Char Smith
was the thoughtful gal.
And, speaking of good
Samaritans, we learned the first of
this week that a former islander
who certainly more than qualifies
in that department died in
Chehalis Monday morning. For
many, many years while Tom
Tierney was a resident here, this
island community was the
benefactor of his numerous acts
fof thoughtfulness. Even at the
time a majority of the island folks
weren't aware of who was doing
so many of the good deeds, only
that from time to time there was
evidence of yet another kind and
thoughtful act. The "fates family
was the recipient of his
thoughtfulness.
Shortly after Harstine lost a
ferry and gained a bridge Tom
presented Glenn with a delightful
souvenir of Glenn's years as ferry
captain. He had taken a piece of
cork, framed it and then attached
a hunk of rope, a commuter
ticket (glass covered and framed)
and one of the large keys. A
glance at that plaque brings back
a flood of marvelous memories.
The Jim Bowers, too, said
they were touched by a bit of
Tom's thoughtfulness. When they
moved into the former Tierney
home they found a small
notebook containing a treasury of
helpful information concerning
the house and property, such as a
list of the appliances, when and
where they were purchased,
where to locate the septic tank
and drainfield.., anything and
everything Tom felt that could be
of use to the new owners in the
future as owners and residents of
the home he had built. (Bet not
too many new tenants can make a
similar claim!)
Several months ago doctors
discovered Tom had bone cancer
and he has spent a good bit these
days since that time in a hospital.
The funeral was held Wednesday
at 10 a.m. in Chehalis.
The island bids a fond adieu
to Wendal and Maude Porter who
recently purchased a home and
moved to Shelton last week.
Wedding bells have been
somewhat prominent 'round these
parts in recent weeks. Last month
one island home was even a
honeymoon scene for several
days. When Helen Olson attended
the wedding of her grand-niece
down on the harbor, she took
along her toothbrush and nightie
and planned to stay away for a
few days. The reason, because she
had offered the newlyweds her
home for their honeymoon. The
young couple, Tara Lundquist
and Daryl Dora, were married at
Ocean Shores and made their
get-away in a popcorn-filled
pickup.
Last Friday evneing Bob and
Elaine Ireland attended the
wedding of Nancy Archer
(daughter of Jim and Pauline
Archer) and Joe Whitener at the
Kamilche Church, as did Nancy's
aunt, Maxine Waite, and her
grandmother, Dot Smith. (Geolge
Waite, being a lineman, was called
out on some power outages and
missed the wedding). Yours truly
was also invited but didn't attend.
Tile nitty-gritty of the situation
was I couldn't find the church...
until about an hour and a half
after the ceremony was scheduled
to begin.
Ted and Elsie Ness traveled to
Anacortes a couple of weeks ago
to attend the wedding of close
friends. Elsie reported it was also
a nice mini-vacation as they spent
a couple of days and nights away
from the island, leaving the
marina in good hands here. She
said they had the opportunity to
see some friends they hadn't seen
or talked to for at least 50 years.
Last week on Tuesday Ted
and Elsie Ness accompanied the
Mattesons of Portland on a jaunt
to Victoria. The latter couple
spent last week here enjoying the
tranquil island life away from the
hustle and bustle of a big city. In
Victoria they took a drive along
scenic shore drive admiring the
gorgeous display of autumn
foliage and flowers. Before
catching the ferry back to Port
Angeles the foursome dined at the
Empress Hotel. At Sequim they
stopped for a brief visit with
friends of the Mattesons.
Last Sunday afternoon the
first and second degree drill team
from Agate and the third and
fourth degree team from
Skokomish converged at the
Harstine Hall to initiate all of the
new grange members from Mason
County granges. Coffee and
refreshments were served midway
between degrees. A potluck
dinner completed the day's
activities. Three new Harstine
grange members were initiated,
Mary Campbell and Carrie and
John Erickson.
This Friday night the Harstine
Community Club will hold its
regular October meeting. All
islanders are welcome to attend.
Live while you live
Live while you live, the epicure
would say,
And seize the pleasures of the
present day;
Live while you live, the sacred
preacher cries,
And give to GOd each moment as
it flies.
Lord, in my views let both
united be;
I live in pleasure, when I live
to thee.
