The certificates given to each awardee were designed and exe- cuted by Whickey Hopkins• All four also received a plaque to hang on the walls at home and will have their names inscribed on the larger plaques hanging in the community hall. Bob Briesemeister has tradi- tionally opened Octoberfest with a greeting in German• This year, however, he relinquished the privilege to an island newcomer, Arne Berndt, who moved here re- cently from Germany. "Arne enunciates German much better than I do," Briesemeister said, "so he should give the opening remarks•" THE BIG event provided a showcase for renovation work which is close to completion. The concrete ramp providing easier access for the handicapped re- quires only the finishing touches. The exterior of the community hall, glowing with fresh paint, needs only the accents of white trim added to complement the new columns and spindled rail- ings on the porch. Under Rod Hammett's nurtur- ing hand, the five planters, two of which were demolished by an er- rant motorist, have been replaced by shallower and less weighty plant trays in the garden area. This change is an example of form following function. Not only do the planters add decorative segments, but they serve as covers over the access points to the septic tank. Being lighter, they can be lifted more readily to check and inspect that which lies below them. SEVENTY-THREE people at- tended the LaJune's Senior Luncheon October 6 and made the staff struggle to eke out plate- fuls for the last few diners. The entree held out but the green- bean pot was scraped clean. This record turnout reflects the satis- faction of the over-50s with the good food being provided and more. Jim Irish commented, "This program is meeting the need of is- landers who like to go out to eat once in a while, but don't like to do it at night." With the days growing shorter, grayer and wet- ter, it is nice to hunker down in the comfort of one's home and look forward to the next noontime lunch on Wednesday, October 20. Hoping for another record crowd, the cooks will simmer up a huge pot of hearty beef stew with biscuits. Carrot and celery sticks and pumpkin pm will round out the menu. The entertainment experiment worked well so Jan Kinser prom- ises more "floor shows" in Novem- ber. CAROLYN BOOTH is hum- ming a new tune. She has re- placed "Pop Goes the Weasel" with "Pop Goes the Raccoon." The bridge session at the Hartstene Pointe Clubhouse lasted longer than usual last week, so Carolyn arrived home about 10 p.m. Tom, her husband, had opened the ga- rage door earlier in anticipation of her arrival. The car's headlights revealed a large puddle of brownish liquid on the garage floor with members of a family of five raccoons lapping away with gusto. The Booths had taken advan- tage of sales of soda to stock up for the winter. The raccoons had assaulted four cases of soda and popped the pop with their sharp incisors, creating a carbonated watering hole. After chasing the raccoons off and hosing out the garage, the Booths found only four cans of to air development at chamber's dinner owner of Penin- Company which an 809-acre plot 'ay 101 adjacent to will be the meeting of Lson County Chamber of Commerce. The social hour begins at 6:30 with dinner at 7 at Legends Res- taurant in Little Creek Casino, at the Highway 101 and Route 108 interchange• Reservations can be made by calling the chamber office at 426- 2021 or by using e-mail at coc@ westsound.com. The cost is $15 per person and payable at the door. O,ST. CO -HEATING It COMPARE OUR LOW PRICES! Located at Sanderson kerosene. Industrial Park 427-8O84 cola and root beer dented but sal- vageable. They discovered that the masked bandits didn't like orange soda: only two cans of that flavor had been sampled and the rest of the case ignored. Gathering up the empties, a frustrated Tom tossed a couple of partly-full cans at the retreating raiders. Next morning he went to retrieve the cans but they had disappeared: a couple of raccoons had evidently carted off one for the road. APPLE SQUEEZE is Satur- day. The garden club will meet to- night to make a final check that all is in readiness• A truckload of organically grown apples has been transported from the land east of the Cascades and should render excellent juice• However, in light of the uncer- tainty of the weather, Rod Ham- mett of the garden club is admon- ishing everyone to "think sunshine!" He hopes the clouds will be squeezed dry by Saturday and that good weather will pre- vail for the big squeeze• Some magnetic force is attract- ing islanders to the eastern por- tion of the country: Baltimore, Maryland, to be specific• Mari Nelson, daughter of Gene and Dorie Nelson, is starring in the play, An Ideal Husband, in that city. Mari, between professional en- gagements, has performed in and choreographed various offerings of the theatre club. In the course of these activities she has made many friends who are proving to be loyal fans by making the trek from the Pacific to the Atlantic• The Oscar Wilde play opened September 29 to excellent reviews and warm acclaim for Mari's per- formance as the female lead. An Ideal Husband will continue to play in Baltimore through Octo- ber 24. EVER GROWING, the wom- en's club welcomed new members Dorothy Legacie and Sherri Gill last week. Thorn Seward, one of a small group of island nonagenari- ans, was made an honorary mem- ber of the club when it met Octo- ber 7. The club will sponsor its an- nual Holiday House Bazaar again from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, November 27. In addition to the community hall, the group will use the adjacent Fire Station 9 for vendor space. Tables will be available in the hall, but vendors will have to pro- vide their own tables or setups in the fire hall. The latter facility is unheated. Registration must be made with Gerri Lewis at 426- 4120 by October 31. The island sewing club is changing its meeting day, it was noted at the meeting. Needle- workers will meet on Tuesday, October 19, at the home of Helena Fuller at 541 Pointes Drive West. A work party for the comple- tion of Christmas decorations will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, Oc- tober 21, at the home .of B.J. Beauchene at 140 Camus Drive• The Harstine Grange will host a friendship night Friday at the island hall, with a potluck dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. A combined meeting will follow at 7:30 p.m. Allen t c play Guthrie in Hooc sport program Guitar and banjo-playing Carl Allen will por- tray Woody Guthrie in an Inquiring Mind pre- sentation, "Woody Guthrie and the Columbia River Songs," from 2 to 3 p.m., Saturday, October 16, at the Hoodsport Timberland Library. In 1933, Franklin Roosevelt's proposal for a dam in the Pacific Northwest was realized with the building of the Bonneville Dam. Part of the project was a propaganda campaign to produce a film praising public power and in 1941 Woody Guthrie was hired to write the film's music in 30 days for $266.66. The footloose American troubadour rambled down the Columbia River Valley, writing 26 songs about the water, the dams, the workers and the land. The rediscovery of those songs in the 1980s enriched Northwest lore and heritage and deepened Allen's interest in Guthrie and his ................ activities• His presentation conveys the power of music to affect the way people think about the environment and political issues of the day. Allen has sung in coffeehouses, at state fairs, and on radio and TV. He recorded the musical soundtrack for two public television specials, one on the Columbia River and one on Mount Raini- er. The performance is free of charge and open to the public. It is intended for a teen to adult audi- ence in the library at North 40 Schoolhouse Hill Road. For more information, contact the library at 877-9339• This program, says library spokesperson Leanne Ingle, is co-sponsored by the Washington : ::i :; : CARL ALLEN portrays intinerant songwriter Woody Guthrie in a pro- gram developed for the Inquiring Mind series.

Nosferatu chiller: Saint David's will host Halloween movie, party The 1922 silent-movie classic Nosferatu, with accompaniment by Andy Crow, will be shown up- stairs in the "Great Room" of the parish hall. Downstairs, staffers of the parish preschool and after- school program will host a party for young children. "The party is designed to allow families to attend the Halloween An upstairs-downstairs pair of Halloween events is scheduled for Saint David's Parish Hall on the evening before Halloween, Octo- ber 30.

"Thanks to the generous dona- tion from Mr. Aho's family and friends, we have been able to build and install new trail reg- isters and interpretive signs at both the upper and lower trail- heads this year," said Forest Su- pervisor Dale Hom. Aho was a longtime mountain- , eer who loved hiking and climb- ing in the Olympics and who spent a lot of time in the Mount Ellinor area, Horn said.

"Everyone attending the movie or party is invited to wear a costume," Maddux added• "Treats and games will be part of the par- ty format." The movie is the first film ver- sion of the Dracula story and was filmed in Germany. "Students of classic movies cite Nosferatu as a milestone in moviemaking," Mad- dux said. "Ordinary viewers point to it as 'genuinely creepy.' " He notes that the captions are in English and the live organ music Crow coaxes from the old funeral home pipe organ makes the film speak to American audiences to- day. Admission to the film is $5 for adults and half price for school- age young people. The party for young children is free. Additional details are available by phoning 426-8472.
