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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~l~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A section of the Shelton-Mason County Journal serving as the voice of Belfair, Allyn, Grapeview, Tahuya, Mason Lake, South Shore and North Shore.

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. 1971-72 Basketball Schedule Charles WrightH Laughbon T Sequim* H Quilcene T Forks* H Charles Wright T Olympic Col.

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. Stan Pitkin United States Attorney be 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 United States Attorney Editor's note: Forms for reporting violations may be obtained from the office of the United States Attorney, U. S. Court House, Seattle, Wash. 98104. 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. Doris Lackey Publicity Chairman American Baptist Women Page 2 - Huckleberry Herald section of Shelton-Mason County Journal - November 24, 1971 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.

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. Chairman Mildred Gaetana wishes to thank the public for the wonderful support of the Allyn-Victor Firemen's Auxiliary Bazaar and Bake sale. The Ladies Auxiliary has also selected paint, with the approval of the Fire For Sale Sectional davenport, good condition; overstuffed rocker with ottoman; pink shagrug and pad, 8'x8'; patio bar with stools; small club chair. Phone days CR5-6170 or CR5-6229. 11125-1212 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. Clearing Earth Moving Reed Building GRAVEL--SAND--ROCK FREE ESTIMATES Days CR 5-2837 LOCAL CONTRACTOR Eves.
