One of the above chairs is reserved for YOU for tonight's
meeting of the PTA at which the local candidates being
opposed in the November 2 election will appear.
Will YOUR chair remain empty tonight through apathy,
lack of interest in who wins the several commission posts
being contested this year?
Or are you concerned enough about who will have
control over your tax dollars collected for local districts the
next few years to spend a couple of hours meeting and
listening to the candidates so you will KNOW which
candidate you want to vote for in- ovember?
Tonight is your chance to ask questions of the candidates
so that you will be an informed voter when you cast your
ballot Nov. 2.
Will you be there?

property. The 50 foot waterfront
property was purchased about
three years ago for $20,500.
Several taxpayers in the district
have suggested the Board sell the
property, which lies between the
two pieces of property serving the
public owned by the Port district,
but is not adjacent to either.
Between it and the land used as a
boat launch area is the home and
property of Mr. and Mrs. Leo
Livingston.
Mitchell had assured
Livingston at the district's budget
meeting Sept. 24 that he would
never vote to condemn the
Livingston property while he was
on the board. Livingston, at
former Board meetings, before
Hillman and Mitchell were
members, had asked the Board if
they intended to condemn his
property to give the district one
continuous stretch of beach but
he had never been given a definate
answer.
Mitchell said he had consulted
the Port district's attorney and
had learned that the
commissioners had the power to
sell the property without bids to a
private party for an amount not
less than 90 per cent of appraisal
by a disinterested real estate
appraiser.
Hillman came up with a
suggestion that the house on the
rental property, which has
recently been vacated, be offered
free or at a low rent to a
pensioner who would serve as
watchman for Port facilities. The
Board agreed that some sort of
"watchman duties" would be
advisable after their large outlay
of money for the rebuilt pier is
completed.
A member of the audience,
Harold Hayes, who said he lives
next door to the" Pier property,
said he would like to be
considered as a watchman if they
intended to hire one and felt his
.,~'rvices would be cheaper than
giving free rent to someone. He
was asked to remain after the
meeting to discuss his
proposition. Hayes also voiced
objections to plans to blacktop
the small area around the pier,
saying that such an act would
detract from the natural setting of
the site and would make it too
commercial looking.
His objection was accepted by
the Board, which later approved a
motion made by Mitchell to ask
for bids to blacktop the boat
launch area, to be marked into a
parking lot for boat trailers and
cars, and a small area across the
highway from the pier property.
Both Hayes and Livingston asked
that landscaping of the two Port
properties be considered;
Livingston presented the Board
with a copy of the proposed
zoning ordinance for ideas on an
attractive single entry with a
possible screen of evergreens
fronting the road. He also
mentioned his opposition to wires
from the light pole in the center
of the launch area which cross his
property. The Board agreed to
look into the possibility of having
PUD move the pole before
blacktopping begins.
Need for a comprehensive
plan for the district was discussed.
Additional expenses of garbage
cans, pickup service, sani-can
service and lights for the pier, not
included in the rebuilding
contract, were brought up.
"I hope the people attending
this meeting have seen where the
money we have on hand is going
and why we felt it necessary to
issue the one mill levy for next
year," commented Mitchell at
meeting's end.
Attending the meeting, in
addition to persons mentioned
above, were Board Chairman Bill
DeMiero, representing the Belfair
area, Board Secretary Ellen
Palmer, Mrs. Harold Hayes, Mrs.
Carol Wentlandt, Mrs. Phyllis
Mustain and Del Griffey, who is
opposing Hillman for his
position on the Board in the
November election. Livingston is
running against Mitchell.
On display during the month
of October in the Belfair Post
Office is the artwork of Mrs Ada
Grigg of Grapeview. The oil
paintings encompass subjects
varying from animals to ships to
ocean and mountain scenes.
Included in the group of
paintings is the favorite of the
artist, one entitled "LaPush
Sunset "
Occasionally the self-taught
artist sells one of her pictures and
always the proceeds are sent to a
• missionary in Bolivia. According
to a friend of Mrs. Grigg, the
artist is very generous with her
talent when it comes to a worthy
cause. Such as the painting she
has donated to the Beachcomber
Garden Club, of which she is a
member, to be sold to benefit the
annual scholarship given by the
group to a North Mason graduate.
Several paintings have been
given away and recently Mrs.
Grigg exchanged one for a logger's
services in cutting down two
trees. Once she painted a picture
of Mt. Hood, with a deer in the
foreground, for a resort owner in
Oregon in exchange for a week's
vacation for her daughter and
children.
Mrs. Grigg has dabbled in
painting since she was a young girl
but has concentrated on her
hobby more in the past ten years
since meeting the Bakers of Allyn,
who have inspired her.
With her husband. Edwin. a
retired engineer from Lockheed
ARTIST ADA GRIGG of Grapeview is seen with the display of her paintings
now gracing the wall of Belfair's Post Office. Her paintings, composed of
subjects including horses, cats, a cougar, Mt. Shuksan and the clipper ship
that brought the brides to Seattle, will be on view through the month of
October.
