STORYTELLER DAVID CASEY talks about the oral tradi-

week with an all-school mini-feast
in the primary building. The four
kindergarten classes entertained
persons playing the parts of Pil-
grims and Native Americans with
songs about turkeys.
The second- and third-grade
choir sang an old English folk car-
ole called "Hey Ho," which was a
medley of songs. Peggy Sanderson,
the building administrator, wel:
comed everyone to the feast and
asked the students to share some
of the things that they are thank-
ful for with the person sitting next
to them. She also. thanked the
many parent volunteers who came
to help serve food to the children.

Earlier in the week, each class
was treated to stories of Native
American culture by guest story-
teller David Casey. As a member
of the Twana Tribe, which became
a part of the Skokomish Nation,
Mr. Casey told fascinating stories
in the oral tradition style of the
native people. He told the children
that stories are shared by honored
elders of each tribe and that the
stories include teachings for the
young people. Casey learned the
art of storytelling, drumming and
singing of native songs from former
Skokomish cultural leader, Bruce
Miller, who is now deceased.
S,:tlelton considers
l:,].00Etn for city parks
A draft six-year Comprehensive
Parks and Recreation Plan was
rolled out before Shelton city com-
missioners Monday.
The plan frames the city's goals
and objectives for parks and rec-
reation facilities and program de-
velopment, noted Mark Ziegler,
supervisor of the city's Parks and
Recreation Department, in a brief-
ing memo to the commissioners.
The draft plan recommends five
acres of park land for every 1,000
residents in the city, the same rec-
ommendation made in the 1997
plan. That would leave the city with
a deficit of 13.4 acres of park land.
Another recommendation con-
tained in the plan is additional
neighborhood parks, including
the Hillcrest, Angleside, Beverly
Heights/Meridian Park and north-
east Mountain View neighbor-
hoods.
Other recommendations include
completing the Callanan Park
renovation, planning for an urban
trail system, renovating Johnson
Park, public water access, an off-
leash park for dogs, acquisition
of community park hnd and open
space, exploring the possibility of a
community center and developing
Overlook Park among others.
On April 30, the city commis-
sion appointed a citizens advisory
committee to help with developing
the comprehensive plan. A citizens
survey was distributed in July and
a public workshop was held on Au-
gust 22.
A public hearing about the draft
plan is tentatively scheduled for
Monday, December 17. Members
of the advisory committee include
Andy Conklin, Sharon Donaldson,
Daniel Frishman, Lee Geist, Mon-
te Ritter, June Sims and James
Weiler.
