"This is a timely subject

Grable, n}ember of the local
group.
Both Democrat and
Republican parties adopted
platforms in their 1978
conventions which contained
planks that called for a regular
automatic process of redistricting
and reapportionment, she said.
She also explained that
redistricting changes boundaries

Members of the league
believe the Washington State
Constitution requires
reexamining state districts every
five years. The state districts
- in 1890 and 1910, said Mrs.
Grable.
The League of Women
Voters have been anxious to
have the district fair, she said.
Men in Uniform
Bruce A. Martin
Bruce A. Martin, son of Mr.
and Mrs. George F. Martin of
Belfair, has received his first
promotion in the U.S. Air Force.
Martin, promoted to airman,
recently completed technical
training at Keesler AFB,
Mississippi, and is now assigned
at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota.
He serves as an administrative
specialist with a unit of the
Strategic Air Command.
The airman is a 1970
graduate of North Mason High
School and attended Olympic
College in Bremerton. His wife,
Kathleen, is the daughter of Mrs.
R. G. Polhamus of Belfair. :

had been done, but lrrgang
brushed them aside saying they
weren't, adequate.
Wilkens then said that the
tate engineer still has to approve
the well. If he doesn't approve
it, the question will be referred
to the department of ecology.
Marley Young, county road
engineer, told the audience that
the development meets the road
requirements, and there is
nothing in the ordinances of
Mason County or in the change
of laws that would make the plat
"null and void."
Gary Chrey, the attorney for
ARAB Inventors Inc., developers
of the property, agreed with
Young's statement.
He also reiterated the county
officials earlier comments that
the project does not come under
the shoreline act. That's because
the water system does not come
within 200 feet of the shoreline,
he retd. '
The question before the
board is the completion of the
water system, he said Through
the checklist that was filed it
had been shown that no impact
will be made on the
environment, he said. :
"Where the impact is, of
course, is that the water system
is one more step in development
of the area," he said. It's up to
the county to protect the people
of the area, and they do that
through building and health
codes, he said. ;
As a final point, Chrey said
that Bill Herdman, who
represents the investors, is a
responsible real estate developer
who has been in development
many years. "No one can point
to any development of his that
has been a disaster," he said.
"Developers that are successful
aren't judged by how much
money they make... :If the
developer is irresponsible ... n0
one will buy property in the

area.'" :
Bill Herdman Sr. Spoke in
place of his son who was
actually handling the
development. His son couldn't
attend the meeting.
One matter that had been
brought up earlier, concerning
eight lots that couldn't be built
on, was cleared up by Herdman.
Those lots, he said, would be
combined with adjacent lots.
He also said that the health,
safety and welfare of the future
owners of the lots were his
primary concern, and "I'm well
aware of those facts." :
After some more discussion,
Hershal Quattlebaum, a member
of the Tri-Lakes Club, explained
the pollution levels recorded at
Tiger Lake. lfl the last six years,
the lake has shown a dramatic
increase in pollution - in 1973
the public access was closed
because of the high coliform
count.
The source of the pollution
has not been found, he said. And
residents have even corrected
lrainage systems without any
effects on the problem.
With the pollution picture as
it is, it would be difficult to tell
what impact the development
would have on the lake,
Quattlebaum said.
The attorney for the
developer said that the amount
of water involved in the
community lot is less than eight
percent of the total lakefront.
Also a letter from an engineer
stated that Tiger Lake would not
suffer from the same problems
of pollution as Long Lake in
Kitsap County.
After some more testimony
on behalf of the residents, one
gentleman told the
commissioners that there wasn't
enough information available to
issue a letter of non-significance.
Commissioner Taylor said
that when he first looked at the
developers checklist, he had

of the South Shore have
t
some questions about it too. But
since it only applies to the water
tower it is an adequate review.
On the other hand, he said,
if the developer was to withdraw
his request for a water tower,
the lots could still be sold.
"People have the fight to build
and drill wells. You'd have the
same amount of people and
more wells." :
If the commissioners request
an EIS, it would cause a four- to
six-month delay on the final
water tower decision, said
Connolly during an interview
Monday. :
An EIS would cost the
county $2,000 or more, and it
would take about two months to
write, he said. Then there would
be a 4S-day review period. :
In the end, the
commissioners could still approve
the water tower. :

The wily raccoon escaped
unharmed with a very satisfied
look (one really can feel sure he
was pleased with himself)," said
Mrs. Johnson, leaving behind a
dirty pool and a very unhappy
pair of folks.
The wildlife agent urges
everyone not to encourage
raccoons to stay near, so that
they may feed them. They are
capable of killing a small dog
without compunction, and are
generally very destructive
animals, he said. :
Mrs. Frank DeMiero called to
remind us to please contact her
or any of the hard working
ladies of the fire department
auxiliary. She wants any names
of young men and women now
serving in our Armed Forces.
These thoughtful women have
sent packages to these young
people at the holiday season, for
many years, and we owe them a
vote of heartfelt thanks.
While she spoke on the
telephone, in the background
could be heard the loud
objections of Sammy the
parakeet. It seems that Tony, a
grandson who hangs around
grandma and grandpa's house a
great deal, not only likes Sammy
- he likes eats, too.
Tony will feed the cat when
grandma isn't looking - "We
don't know the cat's name, as he
seems to be a stray," she said.
Now the cat won't leave, and
sneaks in when Tony opens the
door.
"I feel sure you can't hear a
word I'm saying," said Mrs.
DeMiero, but Sammy can't stand
that eat!"
