Twice within the past I\'w months I have heard citizens of
local Port Districts complain of furnishing launching ramp or
dock facilities for people from other areas. At both the
Grapeview and Allyn Port district meetings visitors have
expressed the opinion that persons out of the district should
pay for use of the facilities or be banned from using them at
all
Twice within the past few weeks I have journeyed to the
Sea-Tac Airport, once to meet someone returning from
Alaska, once to see someone off to California.
Now there's a Port district facility costing quite a bit
more than the one small boat ramp in Grapeview's Port
district or even the multiple holdings of the Allyn district.
When I have heard people suggest our Port facilities should be
only for those who pay taxes to support them, I wonder if
they think other Port districts should follow suit. If so,
would that mean we would have to erect our own jet airport?
Or do they think we, as outsiders, should pay an extra fee for
use of the parking lot, restaurants, or airline service?
It always seems to be the people from Seattle who are
singled out when someone complains about our paying for
facilities to be used by nonpayers. "How come I have to pay
for a launching ramp for people from Seattle to come and use
when I have my own waterfront lot and ramp and never use
the public one?" is the way the complaint is usually worded.
The remodeling of Sea-Tac Airport isn't completed yet,
but a person can get a pretty good idea of how immense it
will be when finished. I don't know what the tax bite each
year is on Seattle residents to furnish that airport but i'm
sure we Mason County Port district taxpayers are getting the
better end of the deal. I, for one, don't begrudge Seattleites
from tying up to a dock I helped pay for or for using "my"
boat ramp.
By giving Mason Cotmty residents the same full-use rights
of the airport, whether for pleasure trips or emergency
flights, without any additional cost, should earn Seattleites
the same privilege in other port Districts, shouldn't it?
Citizen's Committee ma
recommendations for
Four recommendations for
the North Mason School Board
and one for the local PTA were
agreed upon at last Thursday
night's meeting of the North
Mason Citizen's Committee. No
election of officers was held
because of a lack of aspiring
candidates.
Recommendations of the
group are as follows:
Recommendations to the
School Board:
1. We recommend that the
policy revision on teacher
complaints and other staff
complaints submitted by Ray
Kronquist, Chairman of the
School Board be submitted to the
School Board for adoption.
2. We recommend that the
special levy be submitted to the
voters on February 8th of 1972.
(This date coincides with levy
submissions in Seattle and North
Kitsap and it was felt that the
massive amounts of coverage
would be to our advantage.)
3. We recommend that the
School Board instruct the
Superintendent to submit a
proposed, itemized levy to the
Citizen's Committee by January
3rd. This itemized budget is to be
studied in a public meeting and
the decisions of the people
present will be the
recommendation made to the
School Board at the January 10th
meeting.
4. Fred Geiger, president of
the NMEA, presented the levy
recommendations of their group.
The Citizens' Committee
recommended that the School
Board instruct the Superintendent
also make available to the group
the approximate cost of each of
the recommended additions by
January 3rd. (The NMEA
requested additions are an
additional principal for K-8, an
additional librarian, a monthly
early dismissal day for curriculum
meetings, and the hiring of
additional staff or rearranging of
class loads to provide each teacher
with a daily planning period.)
Recommendations to the
P.T.A.:
1. We recommend that the
P.T.A. expand their yearly
handbook to include pertinent
policies (such as the way to make
a complaint on a staff member),
and that these handbooks be
given to new parents when they
register their children for school.

With the footballs and pads
put away until next year, North
Mason athletes turn their interest
to inside sports. This week I will
present the basketball team.
The team returns 4 senior
lettermen, along with a new
coach, plus many other assets to
make their bid for the league title
this year. The new coach, Mr.
Lance Thurston, who last year
coached at Othello, builds his
team around his seniors. Those
returning from last year are 6-3
center Alan Baselt, who led the
team in scoring last year, and will Dec 4
be a big factor in the Bulldogs Dec. 7
rebounding for this year. He is Dec. 10
joined up front by Don Havens, Dec. 14
6-2, who can score from inside Dec. 17
and out, and also can do his share Dec. 29
of rebounding. Two guards return Jan. 4
from last year's team, 5-10 Jon Jan. 7
Criss and 5-9 Rob May. Both can Jan. 12
score from outside as well as Jan. 14
control the offensive play. Jan. 18
Other seniors on the varsity Jan. 21
include Bruce Landram, a 5-11 Jan. 28
forward who can jump equivalent Jan. 29
to any 6-2 or 6-3 man. Bruce will Feb. 4
also be a factor in the Bulldogs Feb. 5
scoring attack. Dave Dimmen, the Feb. 11
tallest member of the team at 6-5, Feb. 15
will back up Baselt at the center Feb. 19
position as his size enables him to
rebound and score from inside.
The remaining senior on the team
is Bob Vincent, a 5-9 transfer
from Mount Vernon who should
see a lot of action at the guard
spot.
The team opens play on
December 4 against Charles
Wright Academy of Tacoma. New
opponents on the schedule this
year are Laughbon, and the
Olympic College JV, the latter to
be played on January 4th.

to the
Editor, Huckleberry Herald:
This office has prepared the
enclosed "'Citizen Check List for
Documenting Violations of the
Rivers and tlarbors Act of 1899'"
for general distribution.
Citizen participation is an
important part of effective
enforcement of the Rivers and
Harbors Act of 1899. The
individual citizen needs to be
advised that there is sonrething he
can do and that he can get a copy
of a check list to help him do it.
Your assistancewould
appreciated.

Editor's note: Enclosed with this
letter was a copy of the Rivers
and Harbors Act of 1899, a copy
of the form available for reporting
violations of the act and a copy of
a letter to the citizens of Western
Washington, asking for help in
enforein8 the act, which ! will
reprint below.
tr • • •
To The Residents
of Western Washington:
As United States Attorney, 1
have been directed by Congress to
"'vigorously prosecute" violations
of the Rivers and Harbors Act of
1899 (33 tlnited States Code 401,
ct seq.).
With thousands of miles of
shoreline and waterways in
Western Washington to monitor,
many violations go unreported.
And even if suspected violations
are reported, the task of
documenting the violations far
exceeds the manpower resources
of polh, tion control agencies.
Puget Sound and the rest of the
waters of Western Washington are
extraordinary assets. To
effectively enforce the Act and
protect our common assets we
need your help.
It would be a public service if
you would be observant about the
use of shorelands and the
condition of the waters of
Western Washington - and use
this check list to document any
suspected violations.
Mail your completed violation
report to me and I'll pursue it
from there.
Stan Pitkin

Editor's note: Forms for
reporting violations may be
obtained from the office of the
United States Attorney, U. S.
Court House, Seattle, Wash.

Editor, Huckleberry Herald:
The Wonren's Association of
the Belfair Baptist Church would
like to express their apprecianon
for the publicity you gave so
generously for our Annual
Harvest Bazaar. The day was a
huge success and well supported
by members of the community.
Many ladies put long hours of
preparation into this event and
feel amply rewarded by the
response. Thanks again for all
your help.

High School News
By RONA HARPER
A new thing this year at
North Mason - disposable report
cards.
Always before the report
cards were handed out in the
sixth period class in a small neat
packet with a card for every class.
The packet was then taken home,
each card was signed by one of
the parents, and all cards were
returned to school. This year the
report card for each period is
picked up in that class. It isn't
signed and returned to the school
as always before but taken home
and thrown away when everyone
is through looking at it.
The report cards are
carbon-backed so when the
second quarter report cards go
home the first quarter grades will
be on them in carbon and so on
for the rest of the year. Exciting,
huh?
Last week there was a
forensics meet at North Kitsap.
The students participating in it
were: Lee Russell, Nancy White,
and Kathie Johnson. They came
home with one 3rd place and five
4th places in the meet involving
six schools.
December 2 there will be a
debate at East High School in
Bremerton. The participating
schools will be North Mason,
East, Port Angeles, and Central
Kitsap.
On November 16 the Honor
Society went on a field trip to the
Coast Guard headquarters at
Second and Cherry in Seattle.
After completing the tour there
most of the people went to the
Farmers' Market at Pike Place
before proceeding to the next
scheduled tour. This was a tour of
the Alki Point Lighthouse where
everyone got to hear the foghorn
and go up in the top room and see
the big light. Most everyone who
went to the Farmer's Market said
they enjoyed that more than the
scheduled tours.
The Drama Club took a field
trip Saturday night November 13
to see Marat/Sade. It was
performed by the Olympic
College Drama department who
were acting as members in an
insane asylum. The play was
about the persecution and
execution of Jean-Paul Marat.
The Honor Society members
are still looking for jobs to do on
December 3. The minimum wage
is $1.25 an hour with the money
being earned to go in the treasury
to be used for expenses for the
rest of the year. Anyone having
any kind of job that could be
performed by an Honor Society
member is asked to contact Sheri
Ward or Kathie Johnson.
A special thanks from the
Senior Play cast goes to the Stage
Band under the direction of Mr.
Cairns, who played Friday night
for the play. They did a fine job
entertaining everyone that night.
Again, thank you Stage Band.
The Lettermen are selling
shirts again. They have a new
sweatshirt that is white with blue
and red trim. It has "North
Mason" printed on the upper left
side of the front and sells for
$3.25. The North Mason T-shirt
sells for $1.60. The money that
the Lettermen have earned in
recent years has gone toward
buying the whirlpool and the
video-tape machine. So buy a
shirt so the Lettermen will have
more money to do worthwhile
things with. The Lettermens' Club
officers are:
President - Jack Johnson
Vice President - David Guidi
Secretary - Joey Johnson
Treasurer - Tony Valley
Sargeant at Arms - Mike
Dillenburg.
Applications to the four year
colleges and universities should
have been filled out and turned in
to Mr. Hawkins by November 24.
Late applications will be late
arriving at their destination but
they can still be turned in.
The Talent Club held a
meeting last week to sign up
students interested in joining. It
was decided at the meeting that
more people with talent would
have to be found. So, all you NM
students with any kind of talent
(within reason) come to the next
Talent Club meeting and join.
The FFTA is still trying to
arrange with Mr. Anderson about
student teaching at the
elementary schools. Something
should be worked out soon and
they will be working at the lower
schools.

Hello, you lucky people -
They say there's a sucker born
every minute and I guess I'm the
biggest one of them all. Can you
imagine! 15c an inch. Sei-iously,
though, I'm really going to have
to have help in writing this
column; I know as much about
this as I do about flying an
airplane. Since I'm scared of
heights - well, you can take it
from there.
The Allyn House recently was
the scene of a long-awaited
wedding. Hazel Billquist and
Jefferson Burton, both residents
of Allyn House, were married by
Rev. Wendell Harder the first of
this month. Andrew Duval,
another resident, served as best
man and Pat Medeiros was matron
of honor for the occasion. All the
residents were invited guests.
Saturday night, November 13,
Echo Matson and Bill Sargent
threw a surprise housewarming
party for Terry and Arlene
McKean. Approximately 40
people gathered to wish them
luck in their new home. A money
tree will provide a gift for their
lovely house. Needless to say, a
good time was had by all.
Mrs. Rollen Baker spent
Sunday, November 14, with her
stepmother in Sumner, helping
her celebrate her 93rd birthday.
! hope, by the time you read
this, that Rose Kirby, a former
correspondent for Allyn-Victor,
will be back home from the
hospital. In case she's still there,
she'd love to receive a cheerful
card. She's in ward "'M" of the
Naval Hospital in Bremerton.
(Editor's Note: Rose, is it
true that you're having a tummy
zipper inserted this time? I hope
not; I hope this is the last trip to
tile hospital.)
There have been several
birthdays in the area recently.
Karla Schillinger celebrated her
1 2th November ! 1. Robbie
Mustain had a very distinctive day
on his 12th birthday, tie went
before the Board of Review in
Scouts and received his
"Tenderfoot" badge. The Robert
Newman household has been
celebrating Pam's and Tom's
birthdays for about 2 weeks.
They had a party and present
were Mary Jenkins, Greg Guidi,
Don, Sally, Steven, J. J., Cheri,
Tammie and Terry Anderson.
Karen's glad that's over with for
another year.
Hurray, Pat Medeiros is no
longer a patient at Allyn House,
but she still lives there.
Tony and Sharon Valley and i
took a flying trip to Bellingham
one day last week. Tony wanted
to look over the W.W.CE. campus
and Sharon and l just wanted
something different to do. Sure
hope the starter gets fixed, right,
Tony?
There will be good eating in
the Elvin Edward's home this
winter. Ed and Betty were lucky
enough to get a 2 point during the
regular hunt and a spike during
the special 4-day season. Poor AI
Baldy missed out altogether.
Better luck next time, kid.
l'm sorry to hear that Mrs.
George (Orvetta) Smith's
(Tacoma News Tribune carrier)
mother passed away.

Commissioners, for the meeting
room of the fire hall in AUyn.
They're planning on painting it
with a low gloss enamel so it'll be
easier to wash. They hope to have
it done before the annual
Firemen's Christmas dinner,
tentatively set for Sunday,
December 19th from 1 until 3
p.m.
On November 28th the All.yn
Baptist Mission will be having an
Oyster pot luck luncheon after
Church services in the basement
of the Allyn school. The Oysters
are being donated by Mr. and Mrs.
Hansen. Everyone's welcome. The
only requirement is that you must
bring a dish of food with you.
They have a pot luck every 2nd
and 4th Sunday after church
services. After the luncheon
everyone goes to the AUyn House
Nursing home to sing for the
patients.
Mr. and Mrs. Mike Fieury are
now in their new home on the
highway between Belfair and
Allyn. They were former residents
of Victor.
Saint Hugh's Episcopal
Church had a dinner Wednesday,
November 17, in celebration of
Saint Hugh's Day. They are also
having a Bazaar, December 4th,
from 10 till 4 at the church. All
the proceeds will go for restoring
the Church building.
Karen Beeson and Diane
Catron went with the Drama
group from North Mason High
School to Olympic College to
watch a play. Neither girl can
seem to remember the title, but
they said it was real wierd.
I wonder if Barb Stormo's
blisters-upon-blisters have
toughened up any now that she
and Dorothy Griffey have been
working in the trees awhile.
The Fair Ilarbor Grange has
made a resolution proclaiming
that the Bell Telephone Service
carry extended area service in
Mason County between Allyn and
Shelton. Twanoh (;range No. I I i 8
and Mason County Pomona No.
20 have endorsed this resolution
in hopes of bringing better service
to the area. Ilerc's hoping that
this resolution will be acted on
soon, and for thebetter.
The Twanoh (;range held a
work party the 16th of November
with lO members in attendence.
The Allyn Baptist Mission will
be holding a Bible study every
Wednesday evening from 7:00
p.m. until 8:30 p.m. in the
basement of the Allyn school.
The congregation from the Mission
had a "bang up" time at the
Kenneth Ilansen residence
Sunday, November 14, with a pot
luck farewell party for the Duane
Warson family. They have since
moved to Mexico. Mrs. Melvin
Boone played the piano and
everyone sang. Hope the boys are
alright now and !'11 bet they'll be
more careful sliding and hanging
from trees.
Our very dedicated hunters
made it back. Russ Schillinger,
Victor, Don Huson, Tahuya, and
Bob Freudenstein, North Shore,
left Saturday, November 13th at
5:30 a.m. for moose hunting.
They all three got their moose
Monday and were home by
Wednesday. Patty said that the
men didn't stay long enough to
warrant spending all that money
on the underwear.
The Del" Stormos had guests
this past weekend. Del's brother,
Harry, and wife, Vi, brought their
son Dan and his new fiance,
Betty, to show off her
engagement ring.
Families of AUyn House
residents and staff have been
invited to partake in the
Thanksgiving feast with them. I
personally think this is one of the
nicest things I have heard about
this year.
Paul and David Andrews of
Victor have belonged to the
Peninsula Swim Club for 2 years.
They practice 3 nights a week at
Peninsula High School. David one
1st and 2rid place in the recent
1 0-years-old-and-under race.
Sunday, November 21st,
Peninsula hosted the Sea Meet.
I'd like to take this chance to
welcome our Editor, Lou
DonneR, and her family to Allyn.
Jim Harding is currently
attending Oregon University in
Corvallis. He is taking a Farrier
(whatever that is) course. He
comes home weekends to visit his
parents. Speaking of the Hardings,
June is also going to college. She's
way above average in grades in her
Olympic College Practical Nursing
course. She really looks smart in
her new uniform and cap.
The Good News club is being
held at the Knowles Home at
LakeLand Village every
Wednesday from 4 to 4:45 p.m.
for children from kindergarten
through 5th grade.
HOW ABOUT THIS! The
Allyn Post Office now has a
telephone. The number is
CR5-6504.
Frannie Peterson hosted the
ladies of the Allyn shower club
this month, on Thursday
November 18th. Lots of good
food was consumed and all the
gifts were "ohed'" and "ahed"
over.
Mrs. Frank May of Lakeland
Village went to Great Falls,
Montana, September 25th to visit
her daughter and son-in-law, Mr.
and Mrs. Don McBratney, and to
welcome her new granddaughter,
Alaina Michele, into this world.
Mrs. May said she spends every
chance she gets commuting to
Montana. 1 wonder why!
That's all for this week, folks.
Have a happy Thanksgiving and
give me a jingle and let me know
what you're doing this week if
you want this column to
continue.
PAPER RACKS STOLEN
Anyone sighting abandoned
racks used for selling newspapers
anywhere in the area is asked to
notify the local Sheriff's office.
Several racks have been stolen
from in front of businesses in the
Belfair and Allyn area the past
few weeks. Or if anyone has
information about who might be
taking them, the deputies would
be glad to listen.
ALMOST ROBBED
An 8 h.p. outboard motor was
almost stolen from a boat parked
in front of an Allyn residence last
week; only two bolts were still
holding it to the craft when, for
some unknown reason, the thief
left. The near theft was reported
to the local Sheriff's office
November 17.
