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. r" Internet LIK[J:, No Contracts! * Instant Me - gamp your buddy list! * 10  e(Idreem with Nebmall! * FREE  Support • Cumimm 8tlrt Pege - News, Weather & more! , Just s3  Up Oldlnel www.LocmlNet.com J lJJJb Call Todsy & Saver J Chez Beaujeas is proud to welcome Greg Maddex  now offer Aqua-chi e,cals Ionic Foot Massages Call Greg today for an appointment c00ez BEAUJEAS GIFT SHOP available and Styling Salon 113 SOUTH SECOND * SUITE 101 4 2 7- 8 6 8 4 Drivers deliver holiday Mason County volunteers de- livered 159 hot, ready-to-eat tur- key dinners and keepsake place mats to low-income homebound seniors and physically challenged adults on November 21.
