Information on flood damage
in Mason County which provides
the basis for a request that the
county be declared a disaster area
was submitted to Governor Daniel
J. Evans this week, George Doak,
Mason County Director of
Emergency Services, said.
Doak said a team of federal
and state officials, along with
local officials, toured the county
to make an evaluation of the
damage.
The total estimate of private
and farm land damage, Doak said,
came to more than $300,000.
This, he said, did not include
damage to county roads.
County Engineer J. C. Bridger
said the government group came
up with an estimate of $3,235 in
temporary damage and $233,405
in permanent damage to county
roads.
The two areas of damage
which account for the largest
amount are the Goldsborough
Creek Bridge just west of the
Shelton City limits and the slide
which took out a section of the
Shelton Valley Road.
Bridger said Harold Sergeant,
a consulting engineer from
Olympia, has been hired by the
county to draw plans for the
repair 6r~plaeement of the
bridge over Goldsborough Creek.
The county commission
authorized the employment of
the consulting engineer at their
meeting Monday.
Bridger said his office is
attempting to shorten the process
for getting approval of the bridge
repair project. The bridge, he said,
is on a Federal Aid Secondary
route and would have to. go
through the same procedures of
approval from federal and state
officials as new construction on
an FAS route unless some way to
shorten the procedures is found.
A delegation representing the
Mason County Economic
Development Council appeared at
the county commission meeting
Monday to urge the commission
to get the bridge opened again as
soon
as possible. '
They stated the bridge closure
causes problems for logging
trucks, employees of the Simpson
Timber CompanY dry sort Yard
and residents of the Dayton area
who must use the alternate route.
Doak said if the county
receives a disaster area designation
from the Governor, disaster
centers would be set up where
those who suffered flood damage
could go.
Doak said the designation
may be made the end of this week
or the first part of next week and
that the disaster centers would be
set up immediately.
Doak said damage is spotted
throughout the county and was
caused in many cases when
culverts became clogged and
water ran across roads, washing
debris into fields.
He said the full report on
damage in the Skokornish Valley
where extensive flooding occurred
has not yet been received,
particularly in the lower part of
the valley where the flooding was
the worst.
The U.S. Forest Service
reported that a number of roads
in the national forest have been
closed because of flood damage.
The Boulder Creek Upper
Rocky Roads in the Hoodsport
Ranger District were closed by
washouts, the forest service
reported.
Road 234 was dosed by a
slide above the Wynoochee Dam
in the Shelton Ranger District,
forest service officials reported.
In addition, numerous lesser
traveled roads and spurs were
dosed by washouts and slides.
People planning to travel
forest roads should check with
the local ranger district office or
supervisor's office for the latest
road conditions before starting,
forest service officials said.
The State Fisheries
Department said the receding
water from the floods has caused
a problem, leaving adult salmon
trapped in pools of water. Many
juvenile salmon feeding in fresh
water streams are also likely
trapped, the fisheries department
said, but will not be as easily
located.
The fisheries department
asked for assistance from those
who see stranded fish. Those in
this area can call the department's
natural production laboratory in
Olympia at 753-6618.

Gerri Fink is 25 and one of

On her first backpacking trip with
a group of youngsters last
summer, she was charged with the
preparation of the troops' grub.
She cooked up a right

In the nearly nine months

Are there fishing nets in the
Skokomish River on the
Skokomish Indian Reservation in
violation of closure of the river to
fishing by state, federal court and
Skokomish tribal officials?
The answer you get depends
on to whom you are talking.
The State Fisheries
Department says that four or five
nets were observed in the river on
the reservation by aerial
surveillance Tuesday.
Skokomish tribal officials say
tribal patrolmen are patrolling the
river every day and there are no
nets.
A spokesman for the State
Fisheries Department says aerial
surveillance of the river is made
every day and that nets have been
observed.
The spokesman said the
department has no jurisdiction on
the reservation and that every day
nets have been observed it has
been reported to federal officials.
The spokesman said
enforcement on the reservation
would have to come from federal
or tribal officials.
Bill Smith, Skokomish Tribal
Chairman and director of the
Northwest Indian Fisheries
Commission, said tribal fisheries
patrolmen are patrolling the river
every day and that some nets
were taken out and some citations
issued about the first three days
after the federal court injunction
closing the river on the
reservation to fishing was issued.
Since that time, he said,

But what, you may ask, have

patrolmen have found no nets in
the river.
Smith said it took about three
days after the injunction was
issued to get the word to all tribal
fishermen and that the flooding
which occurred on the river also
caused some delay.
Smith also commented that
the State Fisheries Department
has asked for a federal court
contempt citation against
Skokomish tribal officials and the
tribe.
The basis for the contempt
citation request, he said, is the
citations issued by tribal fisheries
patrolmen in an effort to enforce
the closure of the river.

"One of the best deterrents of
trouble is activity - just keeping
the kids busy," answers Nelson.
Clinical psychologist Robert
Jones, counseling supervisor for
MYS, agrees.
"When you get troubled kids
involved in activities they enjoy,"
he said, "you often find you can
get them away from the
role-playing of more traditional
counseling methods, and
frequently you can accomplish
more in a shorter period of time.
"You must approach each kid
on his own terms," he added.
"You have to determine the
nature of his problem and then
modify the treatment to fit the
problem - not the other way
around."
Jones points out that MYS,
though primarily activity-oriented
now, has as one of its chief
designs the establishment of more
"traditional" counseling services
as well, such as value-clarification
encounter groups, in which
youths hash out with the

Fisheries officials said there
was no one around at the time the
nets were taken nor were any
arrests made because of the
fishing closure violations.
The Mason County Sheriff's
Office had deputies patrolling
roads in the area during the time
the nets were taken out to make
sure no county roads were
blocked.

Swayze was arrested at the
Shelton Police Station about 3:30
p.m. Monday and Yorke was
arrested at Highway 101 and
Arcadia at 5:55 pan. Monday.
Shelton police said the arrests
were the result of investigation of
the burglary which was reported
Saturday morning by Gary Drake,
a foreman for PNWB.
Officers said they found that
a trailer house parked inside the
fence which surrounds the PNWB
property had been entered and a
camera, two page boyS, a radio
and other items had been taken.
Officers said a truck had also been
entered and acetylene and oxygen
gauges and hoses, a tool box with
miscellaneous tools, a fhst aid kit
and other tools were taken.
Officers said tracks in the
snow Saturday morning and a
vehicle which was involved in a
hit and run accident lead to the
two suspects who were arrested.
Officers said some of the
missing items had been recovered
by county officers over the
weekend.
Investigation of the case is
continuing, officers said.
