Park a priority for these Rotarians
Guests at Callanan I)ark are
now able to enjoy a sh(dt(,red
picnic in the shade. Skookum
Rotary recently completed l he
construction of the log picnic
shelter at Callanan Park in
Shelton's Mountain View dis-
trict.
Club president Gary S('huy-
ten selected this hands-on proj-
ect for Rotarians to complete
and donate to the community.
Club members I)egan the proj-
ect under his h, adership last
summer and the project was
completed late this summer.
Among those offering as-
sistance were Lumbermen's
Building Supply and its man-
ager, Duane Wilson, Simpson
Timber Company, Eric Eaton
of Mason County Roofing, City
Army engineers
to look at Skok
(Continued from page 13.)
the Frequently Flooded Area"
and stating that the tribe has
been a strong advocate of the
dike monitoring program and
"has suffered, and continues to
suffer, from the effects of the
Skokomish River's flooding of
the reservation, which has been
caused by various man-made
changes in the Skokomish Riv-
er Valley and above."
This action followed a letter
sent to the county commission-
ers by Denese LaClair, chair 6f
the tribal council, which takes
issue with their decision to
eliminate the dike monitoring
program and describes the new
rules as a threat to tribal sover-
eignty. She wrote that flooding
on the reservation "continues to
occur with increasingly greater
frequency and intensity" and
states that the "traditional"
land-use decisions and prac-
tices allowed by the new county
rules "will only exacerbate those
conditions" which contribute to
flooding of the Rez.
With the earing pending,
the Mason County ('ommis-
sion has moved ahead in part-
nership with the, tribe to look
at "potential flood mitigation
and restoration actions." To-
ward that end, commissioners
voted on November 6 to spend
$130,000 to pay the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers to recom-
mend projects that can: provide
flood protection, restore habitat
for endangered fish species and
maintain agricultural use of the
river valley. The contract has
an end date of June 30, 2009
and calls for projects that can
work hand-in-hand with ongo-
ing efforts at both ends of the
Skokomish watershed. °
On the one hand the goal is
to work with managers of the
Olympic National Forest to im-
prove things in the high country
that drains into the Skok and
on the other to work wifh those
concerned about the ecosystem
of the river's destination, Hood
Canal.
