The "arollowYng letter was rare all blnckened and
written by Ned Cokelet from water-stained with creaky wooden
England to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Ed Cokelet of Belfair. Ned
and his wife, the former Kathy
Lohman, both graduates of North
Mason High School, are hying in
Cambridge where Ned was invited
to attend the University on a
National Science Foundation
grant. Ned was a two-time
recipient of Simpson scholarships.
He is working on his PHD after
having earned his Master's degree
in oceanography at the University
of Washington this past summer•
Both are graduates of the U. of W.
Kathy is the Daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Lohman of Belfair.
Sorry to be writing so late,
but getting settled is as hard as
leaving. We're fine and
everything's fine here. The most
surprising thing is that Cambridge

be better; little maintenance and
they have been this way for 400
years•
It is truly beautiful to stand in
the court (Great Court) of Trinity
College at dusk and see the
outline of the towers and
buttresses. Trinity (my college)
has the largest college court in the
world with grass and a big
fountain in the center. The center
is as big as a football field. ! can
walk over the very stones that Sir
Issaac Newton walked over.
Our flat would be considered
very modern in the U.S. and if
furnished with the usual U.S.
appliances, it would rent for $160
a month. The building is brick.
We have a hall with hooks to hang

Dad, you wanted to know our living room with dining table, 2
first impressions, so here goes.
First, air travel is no big deal.
The plane trip is long, the leg
space is short and the food is
about Clark's ferry concession
style !
Coming over England was nice
in the early morning because we
could see the towns all lit up with
amber lights (because of fog.) The
striking thing about London from
the air was the fact that the
streets all lead out from the
center, none of them are straight
bedrooms, bathroom with the
biggest bathtub I've ever seen (it's
standard in England; could make
a fortune in U.S. selling long,
deep bathtubs.)
English people are far nicer
than Americans. Can easily engage
them in conversation.
The countryside is very flat.
Pastures, horses grazing in the
town common, an open market
place and bikes galore. You
wouldn't believe the bikes here.
They are the rustiest, dirtiest,
and anmwe.rs ~isrding ~he ne~w
rules applying to all-terrain
vehicles was prepared by State
Representative Paul H. Conner
and sent to the Herald office.
They may answer any questions
still remaining with readers about
the new law.
1. What does ATV mean? It
stands for All Terrain Vehicle.
2. What kind of vehicle is an
ATV? Any self-propelled vehicle
that is capable of cross-country
travel. Under certain conditions,
all cars and trucks have this
ability whether they are
two-wheel drive or four wheel
drive. In other words, every
motor vehicle is considered an
ATV.
3. My farm tractor can travel
cross-country. Does it need ATV
registration? Not if its being used
for farming. Certain classes of
vehicles are not subject to the
law. No ATV registration is
needed for boats, farm vehicles,
logging vehicles, equipment used
in construction, military or law
enforcement vehicles.
Snowmobiles do not need ATV
registration. They must be
registered under the Snowmobile
Act.
4. I have a mini-bike for trail
riding. Does it need ATV
registration? No, a trail bike with
50cc or less displacement, 42" or
less wheelbase and 14" or less
wheel diameter does not need
t~z~raanent, such ~ pant or a
decal. The color must contrast
with the background. "It must be
at least I inch in height. The
number must not be obscured by
the driver, passenger or load.
11. Do 1 have to display my
license plate when operating in
the woods? No. When using the
vehicle off the roads, the license
plate can be removed if the plate
number is displayed on the
vehicle as described under
question 5. In this case the ATV
validating tab will not be put on
the license plate but on the
vehicle.
12. If I have license plates on
my vehicle do I have to paint this
number on too? No. The license
plate number will be used as the
ATV number. You can leave the
plate on the vehicle. Place the
ATV vahdating tab on the rear
plate. If you want to remove the
plate, then you must paint the
number on the vehicle.
13. Where do I obtain an ATV
registration? Any county auditor
or vehicle hcense agent will take
your application.
14. What is required for an
ATV license? An ATV must be
titled. If it is already titled and
has Washington license plates of
the existing general issue
(motorcycles 1965 and later, all
other 1963 and later), no reissue
of title is necessary. A registration
certificate is issued showing ATV
1 7. ~l~rhat hmppen8 to the , q,
money? 25fl~ for the first two
years and 20% thereafter for
administra tion.
20% for the first two years and
25% thereafter to counties having
significant ATV use (for
enforcement).
55% to the outdoor recreation
account for distribution to state
agencies for ATV trails. The
agency must use the money for
ATV trail related expenses.
18. Who enforces the law?
The Washington State Patrol,
County Sheriffs, Police
Departments, state wildlife
agents, state fisheries patrolmen,
state park rangers, and employees
of the Department of Natural
Resources as designated by the
Commissioner of Public Lands•
19. What are the penalities
provided in the law? It is a gross
misdemeanor to operate an ATV
1) to endanger human life
2) to run down or harass
wildlife or any domestic animal or
3) to carry a loaded weapon
or to hunt from the vehicle
It is a misdemeanor to operate
an ATV
1) without ATV registration
where registration is required
2) under the influence of
liquor, narcotics or drugs
3) without lights between
dusk and dawn
4) without adequate braking
5) without a spark arrestor

After always having lived in a house with a basement, there just
wasn't room for all the things we had accumulated throughout the
years when we moved to our Mason Lake home.
When shelves finally were built in the second-story storeroom,
many of the boxes we'd left in Seattle were brought out for me to go
through, to sort and save only the most important things. The kids and
I didn't always see eye to eye on what was worth saving, but we did
manage to get rid of enough things to fit everything into the storeroom.
Except for three trunks filled with all kinds of odds and ends I'd
collected through the years, including costumes or pieces of clothing or
material from which costumes could easily be contrived.
There just wasn't room in the storeroom for three big trunks so
those remained in the basement of Roy's mother's apartment house.
The first October we spent in our still-far-from-finished home,

Correction:
In two previous articles in the
Herald the dock being built on
South Shore by the Gene Wards
was described, incorrectly, as
being 300 feet long. The pier
itself is only 160 feet long, with a
1 6 foot float at the end
connected by a catwalk.

agreed to visit the businesses in

At last week's meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce, diane
Robinson, owner of the local Two
Rare Birds shop, appeared to
offer several ideas on the plan.
One was for a uniform color
scheme for all buildings and for
this she had chosen avocado green
with mellow gold trim. She felt
these were warm, inviting colors
that fit in well with the outdoor

or three shops thought it a good
idea to remodel their buildings
into copies of Bavarian shops and
soon, as tourist interest was
aroused, more and more did the
same until almost the whole
section of town is now Bavarian.
The increase in business has more
than paid for the remodeling
costs.
If the merchants in Belfair
wanted to make all the buildings
the same style, /tiane had
"remodeled" the Clothes Line.
