Man sentenced to 18 years for murdering woman
Victim’s family gives emotional
testimony to court during hearing
By MICHAEL HEINBACH
michael@masoncounty.com
Family members of a woman who
was strangled to death in May spoke
emotionally about her Tuesday morn-
ing in Mason County Superior Court.
Both parents of Kerry Marie Hage-
lin and one of her aunts addressed
Judge Daniel Goodell in person, while
two more of Hagelin’s aunts had vic-
tim-impact statements read to the
court on their behalf by a crime vic-
tims’ advocate.
Kerry Hagelin’s mother, Kathy
Hagelin, read in her written statement
that she would no longer be able to hug
or laugh with her daughter.
“Maybe God can forgive you, and I
hope you pray for forgiveness. As for
me, it’s gonna take a lot of prayer and
a very long time,” she said.
Kerry Hagelin’s father, Jay, also
read aloud a written statement.
“She was only 40, with lots of life
ahead of her. I now ask the court, what
would you want the sentence to be if it
was your daughter or son?” he said.
The emotional testimonials came
as Goodell considered an appropri-
ate sentence for Caleb Powson Boyn-
ton, the man who on May 1 strangled
Hagelin to death.

The City of Shelton is offering to
lease land to the YMCA to construct
a facility next to Oakland Bay Junior

Under the proposed deal, the city
would lease the land at the corner
of Wallace Kneeland Boulevard and
Shelton Springs Road to the YMCA
for $1 a year for 25 or 30 years.
Shelton City commissioners Gary
Cronce and Tracy Moore on Monday
concurred to move the proposed deal
to the commission’s action agenda at
its regular meeting at 6 p.m. Monday

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The art of the
(bad) deal
Editor, the Journal
According to Mason County
commissioners, the reason for
a tax increase initiative on the
November ballot is because
revenues are not keeping pace
with the cost of providing
services. But let’s not forget
that the primary function of
the commission is, precisely,
to monitor those forces over
time and take whatever ap-
propriate, incremental mea-
sures are necessary to bring
about a balance. Perhaps if
the commissioners had spent
less time micro-managing
other departments and more
on their own mandated duties,
we might not be in this situ-
ation.
While there is little doubt
that increased costs and lag-
ging revenues played a major
role in bringing us to this
point, the manner in which
the commissioners managed
(or mismanaged) public re-
sources was a contributing
factor.
Consider the following:
Big government operations
involve layers of bureaucracy,
which increase the chances
of inefficiencies through mis-
communications. Conversely,
local government is inherently
more efficient because admin-
istrators work — or should
work — directly with their
staff.
Unfortunately, that is not
the case in Mason County, at
least not since the commis-
sioners added a layer of bu-
reaucracy known as “Support
Services.”
While the official explana-
tion for creating an entirely
new and costly department
was “to improve efficiency,”
in practice, what it was (and
still is) most efficient at was
replacing underpaid skeptics
with overpaid loyalists and
insulating the commissioners
from a looming specter of in-
solvency.

To make matters worse, the
more departments brought
under the umbrella of “Sup-

had to mismanage the budget.
And, so, the stage was set;
with rising costs and no new

expenses ballooned from $30
million to $40.8 million in
three years; and each year the
commissioners met growing
shortfalls by drawing down
cash reserves and redirect-

Now, taxpayers are being
asked to choose between high-
er taxes, drastically cut servic-
es or financial insolvency. But
before we throw more money
at a failing system, the com-
missioners need to dissolve

In the Aug. 10 issue of the

chi opined that voters should
reject a proposed tax increase
to support county operations.
No one wants to pay more
taxes, of course. But every-
one wants good roads, well-
maintained parks, quality
educations for their children,
safe streets and the myriad of
other services that mark a vi-
brant community. The simple
reality is that our commis-
sioners have to address these

Massive forest fires have
western parts of the U.S. and
Canada. For thousands of
years, semi-arid forests which
stretch the length of Western
U.S. and Canada’s interior,
have operated on a cycle of
growth, fire and regrowth.
Huge fires are part of
needs, as well as a growing
list of state and federal man-
dates, within the confines of
a budget that offers very few
ways to increase revenues.
I happen to know each of
our commissioners to one de-
gree or another. They come
from a variety of backgrounds
and a range of political per-
suasions. Yet each one of
them is deeply committed to
the best interests of Mason
County and is sensitive to the
burden of taxes. Each of them
is easily accessible to mem-
bers of the community. I sug-
gest that anyone who wants a
better understanding of Ma-
son County’s finances make
an appointment with their
commissioner. You’ll come
away with an understanding
that is deeper and richer than
a bumper sticker or a slogan,
and you will have spent some
time with a quality individual
who works tirelessly in your
interest.
The real debate here isn’t
about a tax increase, it is
about our shared vision for
Mason County. Shall we shape
our community to be among
the best places in the state
to be, or shall Mason County

history as well. For example,
in a single week in Septem-
ber 1902, the Yacolt Burn
engulfed more than a half-mil-
lion acres and killed 56 people
in the Columbia River Gorge
and around Mount St. Helens.
The choking smoke was so
thick that ships on the Co-
lumbia River were forced to
navigate by compass, and the
street lights in Seattle, 160
miles to the north, glowed at
noon.
The Yacolt fires actually
forced Weyerhaeuser into
lumber milling, particularly
in the Longview area, where
it built a massive forest prod-
ucts processing complex. The
company needed to find a way
to recover as much value from
its charred trees as possible.
That complex also processed

Trump has
done great
things
Editor, the Journal
To the comments of Brian
Walsh … some people pay so
much attention to personality
and attention-getting antics
of this president, they become
oblivious of all that he is
achieving, in spite of swim-
ming against a hostile current.
Yeah, the news has been hate-
ful and in many cases, lies,
and yeah, he sure as heck has
a right to give it right back.
I’m pleased with all that is be-
ing accomplished in this “sand-
box,” even though there is a
movement, yes movement, to
do everything that can be done
to unseat this duly elected
president. I can list over 100
achievements in just this six
months, more than Obama
ever achieved his whole term,
but I’m limited in words here.
To Patricia Vandehey, you
obviously watch nothing but
the mainstream liberal news
and not the actual events this
president participates in, his
meetings with foreign leaders,
the tough-line policies, millions
of jobs created and businesses
returning. His approval by for-
eign leaders has been amazing
and they respect him even if
A 2015 U.S. Forest Ser-
vice study of federal forests
in the Wenatchee area found
that large wildfires can leave
behind thousands of acres of
fire-killed trees that eventual-
ly become fuel for future fires.
In the past, logging fire-
damaged forests was viewed
only for recovery of their eco-
nomic worth. Now they have a
fire-prevention value.
Salvage logging was part
of President George W.
Bush’s proposed “Healthy
Forests” initiative 15 years
ago, but critics viewed the
program as just a way to
increase logging in public for-
ests and killed it.
Bush’s plan called for re-
moving dead and diseased
trees before they could fuel
large wildfires. Those fires
cost hundreds of millions to
suppress. (At the time, huge
fires in the Wenatchee-Lake
Chelan area were fresh on
people’s minds).
Logging, milling and re-
planting logged land with
they don’t agree with him.
Of course he didn’t win the
popular vote. According to a
report released by Judicial
Watch on Aug. 4, there are
144 registered voters in Los
Angeles for every 100 citizens
of voting age. The discrep-
ancy is widespread in Cali-
fornia, with 11 other counties
carrying rolls with more
registered voters than actual
citizens old enough to vote.
The staggering discrepancy
has prompted Judicial Watch
to threaten to sue unless the
state cleans up its voter reg-
istration data. Thank God for
the Electoral College and a
president promising to have
stricter regulations for elec-
tions; and don’t forget other
administrations employing
family members.
Patricia, the only crisis
America is in now is the re-
sults of the weakness of the
last couple administrations
against nuclear enemies;
Obama giving Iran a ridicu-
lous pact and billions of dollars
to accelerate its nuclear agen-
da. Kim Jung Un could have
been nipped in the bud years
ago, but now has a missile and
warhead that can hit Alaska
or farther. His will be a pre-
emptive strike, as he has said
as much, as soon as he was ca-
pable. He is now capable, and
his technology is being sold to
Iran as well.
To Michael Siptroth, would
wish to God we lived in such a
nuclear-free world, but surely
even you can see that we and
all the free world wear a target
for annihilation. Somehow, I
doubt Kim Jung Un, Iran and
Russia will lay down their
nukes. We dodged a nuclear
war in the Cuban Missile Cri-
sis because we were nuclear
strong and Russia backed
down. We are now only a por-
tion of what we were. God
bless America, and love him or
hate him, God bless this presi-
dent (he needs our prayers, not
castigation).

young trees would create
thousands of jobs and add to
our nation’s timber supply. It
is a way to maintain a healthy
growing forest that stores car-
bon and emits oxygen.
The bottom line is that
clearing dead trees and debris
from the forest floor reduces
some of the risk of massive
wildfires that pump millions
of tons of carbon dioxide into
our air.
Global warming seems to
be accelerating the number
of wildfires across the planet.
Those fires are public-health
threats. Robbing them of their
fuel makes sense. So does
making lumber more plentiful

SEPTEMBER 9 | 4PM Shelton man pleads not guilty
to felony harassment charge
By MICHAEL HEINBACH
michael@masoncounty.com
A 38-year-old Shelton man pleaded
not guilty Monday morning in Mason
County Superior Court in Shelton after
he was arraigned on a charge of felony
harassment.
Christopher Michael Hannan en-
tered his plea via public defense attor-
ney Jeanette Boothe before Judge Toni
Sheldon.
Hannan’s charge stems from an
early-morning Aug. 1 incident in which
he allegedly threatened the life of a
man who was using the recreation area
during a retreat for the employees of a
downtown Shelton restaurant.
According to a Mason County Sher-
iff’s Office affidavit of probable cause
for Hannan’s arrest, the complain-
ant called 911 shortly after midnight,
stating Hannan “was very drunk and
a danger to the people present at the
LOCATED ON THE DRIVING RANGE campground.” The affidavit further
states the 911 caller said that Han-
nan ran into a wooded area yelling and
screaming. Upon his return, Hannan
reportedly attempted to start several
fights. Hannan then reportedly threat-
ened to “kill everyone here.”

his April 27 arrest he’s been granted
a request to delay proceedings in the
matter.
Quillian told the court it would be
the last time he’d seek to delay pro-
ceedings. In granting the request,
Sheldon said she would “take Mr.
Quillian at his word” that it would be
his final appeal for a continuance be-
fore she set the remainder of Garner’s
court schedule.
Monday’s postponed omnibus hear-
ing was rescheduled for Aug. 28. A
pretrial hearing is set for Nov. 20, and
Garner’s trial is scheduled to begin
the week of Dec. 5. The trial now must
start no later than Jan. 30.

tact Hannan in his tent, the affidavit
states Hannan initially ignored orders
to leave his tent. When he did leave his
tent, Hannan became actively resistant
and refused to place his hands behind
his back as per the deputies’ instruc-
tions, deputies reported.
In their statements, both deputies
noted they smelled intoxicants on Han-
nan’s breath. Deputies found a 9-inch
butcher knife in the back seat of a vehi-
cle parked at Hannan’s camp site and
“several smaller knives” were found on
a picnic table in the area.
After being booked into Mason
County Jail, Hannan was released on
his own recognizance following a pre-
liminary appearance Aug. 1 in Supe-
rior Court.
In 2009, Hannan pleaded guilty in
Thurston County to first and third-
degree child molestation charges. In
1998, Hannan pleaded guilty in Thur-
ston County of residential burglary,
second-degree theft and trafficking sto-
len property. Sentencing information
relating to both cases was not available
on the state’s online case-reporting por-
tal.
Hannan’s current charge carries a
maximum penalty of five years in pris-
on and/or $10,000 fine plus restitution
and assessments.

Mason Transit Authority approved
the last of three contract agreements in
a meeting Tuesday at the Transit-Com-
munity Center in Shelton.
The board approved a contract agree-
ment with the International Association
of Machinists and Aerospace Workers
for Comm Center employees. The agree-
ment, which would cover Sept. 1, to
Aug. 31, 2020, will cost $6,822 from the
2017 budget, and remain within budget-
ary constraints, said Danette Brannin,
MTA board general manager.
Brannin said this was the third and
final contract to negotiate.
“This has not been presented or talk-
ed about at a board meeting because it
went so fast,” Brannin said. “We had
three meetings and we were done.”
All three negotiation meetings took
place between last month’s MTA board
meeting and Tuesday’s meeting, dur-
ing which attendees approved all the
contract items, only adjusting an item
related to hours of work, overtime, in-
clement weather pay and other work as-
signments. Both sides on Saturday dis-
cussed work schedules and the need for
breaks, eventually ending on a tentative
agreement. The agreement stipulates
that any employee working on a day off
will be paid for a minimum of two hours.
“Overall, it went well,” Brannin said.
“We’re just happy to be done.”
Board members approved the agree-
ment unanimously. The board also ap-
proved the 2017-22 Transit Develop-
ment Plan draft. The state of Washing-

plans each year. The plan must include

What do a medical delivery service, health food

Cooner’s business features her own artwork in a
variety of mediums, including paintings in acrylic, oil
and watercolor; graphite drawings; and henna tat-
toos. She showcased her art during her presentation
with a brown henna tattoo on her hand.

where people carefully utilize small spaces.
“It allows them to experience the possibility of

Looking to the future viability of her business,
Cooner said, “As long as small towns like this exist,
there will be farmers markets.”
Markia McQuilkin-Corder, one of the students

Much like the school’s name-
sake, Ellen Perconti has made
it her mission as the Mary M.
Knight school district superinten-
dent to give students in the Mat-
lock community the same level of
26528
education they would receive at
any other school in Washington.
Perconti said though the dis-
trict isn’t there yet, her staff is
Feather Meredith and Jeannie Scanlon constantly figuring out how to
build and maintain that level of
education.
“I consider myself a learner,”
she said. “I come to things with
confidence that I can learn my
way into it, not necessarily that
I know it all now. I guess that is
what makes it fresh every day.”

Perconti started her career as
a music therapist and then moved
into music education. She has a
360-280-1884 • 328 W. Railroad Ave • featherphotography.com • featherphotography@outlook.com bachelor’s degree from the Uni-
versity of Iowa and her master’s
and doctorate degrees from the
University of Idaho.
After teaching music to el-
ementary school students, she
moved into the role of teacher on
special assignment, where she
worked on curriculum. She was
hired as a curriculum director in
Lewiston, Idaho, after which she
accepted her first position as a su-
socleanandgreen perintendent in Northern Idaho.

year as Mary M. Knight’s super-

intendent and said that she came
to the area to be close to fam-
MY FOOT ANGEL REFLEXOLOGY ily, but has stayed because of the
ability for her to make a positive
difference in the lives of students
on the western border of Mason
County.
“It’s about putting things in
places and seeing that child grow
and change from really struggling

RF#60550845 “I love that part of it.”
Inside Studio 125 • 125 Railroad Ave She said she balances multiple
360-463-4760 roles at the schools. The district
this year is without a principal for
the second time, which means Per-
conti will step into the role in addi-
tion to her superintendent duties.
“I am much more involved in
the day-to-day operations and the
students,” she said. “So that is re-
ally different as well, because you
have to continue to do all of the
higher-level projecting, planning
and goal setting for the district
without just getting completely
bogged down by, ‘How do we make
school happen today?’ ”
Though it can be a balancing
act, she said the parent and com-
munity support that the schools
receive help ease the pressure on
her.
“We have excellent support
from our parent organizations,”
Perconti said. “They do a ton of
stuff for our students. They are
always very willing to help out
with anything. The sports boost-
ers are the same.”
The school, named after former
Mason County School District
Superintendent Mary M. Knight,
may be undergoing big changes in
the next five years, including the
possibility of new facilities.
The Mary M. Knight school
board took action July 24 to place
a bond for $7.4 million for the pur-
pose of replacing the elementary
and upgrading the junior and se-
nior high school buildings on the
Nov. 7 ballot. That decision was
based on the recommendation of
a community committee, which
met this winter and reviewed the
status of MMK’s buildings, said
Perconti.
“We were able to say, ‘Yeah, we
want a school here in 30 years,’ ”
she said. “In order to do that, we
are going to have to take some
steps.”
To ensure that MMK has qual-
ity educational facilities now and
in the future, the board is placing
in front of the voters a measure
that would replace the current
elementary school building. Addi-
tionally, by leveraging state fund-
ing, the measure would provide
upgrades in safety and security,
infrastructure, energy efficiency
and technology for the current ju-
nior and senior high school build-
ing, said Perconti.
The bond repayment, if passed
by the voters, is 20 years in
length. The board weighed the
cost of financing with yearly tax-
payer costs in making the deci-
sion regarding bond term.
Journal photo by Alexandra Smith
Along with the bond, Perconti
said the district is focusing on
academics for students.
“We really want to make sure
that when a student leaves here
they’re ready for wherever they
go,” she said. “Every student has
options and every student has
the confidence to say, ‘Yeah, I
can do this.’ Stabilizing stuff so
that we have good, quality staff
consistently is another goal, and
a staff who is here because they
love Matlock and want to be here.
They see the difference they are
making.”
She loves to see staff getting
excited about what they are doing
for the students. Supporting them
as they learn new skills and im-
plementing classroom procedures
or instruction or playground mon-
itoring are the roles Perconti fills
to make it possible for teachers.
“Because we have so few staff,
we are so person dependent,” she
said. “We put in a system one year
with a person and then they move
on or change positions, you have
to refigure out how to keep that
system moving. We don’t want to
be person specific, but if someone
were to walk away, we want the
same type of supports for our stu-
dents. So that has been a constant
problem solving for me and how
do we do better at that.”
Perconti said she starts each
day by asking herself, “How can
we best serve our students?”
When she started in Matlock, she
had to earn the trust of the com-
munity, she said.
“Helping the community see I
am real and I am a person who
just happened to be chosen to do
this job is important,” Perconti
said. “That is also something that
I just continue to work on. I want
them to see that I am here for
them. That is what I like about
the job. I have a very service ori-
ented position.”
Above all else, Perconti said
preparing students to be success-
ful citizens wherever their paths
take them is her goal.
“It is about people, and it is
about how to we make the very
best for people here in Matlock,”
she said.

Local yoga instructor has mat, will travel
By GORDON WEEKS
gordon@masoncounty

Michelle Pugh’s father was her first

yoga instructor.
As a wrestling and football coach at
Capital High School in Olympia in the
early 1990s, he would pop a VHS yoga
tape on the television in the wrestling
room. Pugh, then about 15, said she was
immediately taken by the practice.
“I liked the blend of balance and
strength,” she said.
As the owner of Joonbug Yoga in
Shelton, Pugh passes on her joy for the
practice by teaching classes at sites
throughout the region. Her students
range in age from teenagers to 82.
“It’s a ‘Have yoga mat, will travel sort
of thing,” Pugh said with a laugh.
She added, “I enjoy seeing people in
their happy bodies, just getting stronger
and feeling well.”
Born and raised in Olympia, Pugh
studied ballet from age 3 to 20. The
flexibility required for that dance form
helped prepare her for yoga, she said.
Pugh also played competitive fastpitch.

screw up the county, and
it would be easy to do,”
she said. “Technically, I’m
speaking a lot of times on
behalf of the commission-
ers. If there’s a mistake,
people are going to be mad
at them even though I’m
the one that sent out the
information.”
Drewry grew up in the
Central Washington town
of Tieton. Sitting about
30 miles west of Yakima
County, Tieton is a city
Drewry called “orchard
country” that as of the
2010 census had a popu-
lation of fewer than 2,000
people.
Following high school,
Drewry moved on to Spo-
kane while she attended
college in Cheney, origi-
nally intending to earn an
education degree before
concentrating on her love
of music, playing both the
oboe and English horn.
“In the fourth grade,
I went to a Yakima Sym-
phony concert, and the
principal oboist at the time
played Mozart,” Drewery
said. “And I thought it was
the coolest thing ever. I
just decided right then, ‘I
want that.’ ”
But when she discov-
ered the English horn,
Drewry’s passion for music
intensified.
“I didn’t even know
about the English horn
until about my freshman
year of high school, and
I fell in love with that. If
I could just play that, I
would.”
At Eastern Washing-
ton, she met her future
husband, Chris, and it
wasn’t long after married
life brought the Drewrys
to Mason County. On the
second day of their honey-
moon, Chris interviewed
for the job as band direc-
tor at North Mason High
School.
“Yup, that was the
second day of our honey-
moon, and we then turned
around and we drove back
eight hours down the
coast,” Drewry said.
After Chris got the job,
one he proudly still holds
today, the couple relocated
to Allyn and Drewry took
a job for Kitsap County.
Though she says she
doesn’t recall the technical
title of her former job, she
called herself the “answer
lady.”
Currently, Drewry says
she’s comfortable in her
new job and relishes the
opportunity to represent
the county with her unique
combination of Sicilian
and Mexican heritage.
“I tan really well,” she
said jokingly.
Overall, Drewry is at
ease in the place she and
her husband find them-
selves. She says both she
and Chris are pleased with
their jobs and enjoy living
in Mason County.
“It’s a proud feeling,”
Drewry said. “And it’s re-
ally nice because both
Chris and I are in really
good spots. We’re really
happy with that. This is
the first time we’ve both
been in really good spots
at the same time and it’s a
good feeling.”
Happy as she is, Dre-
wry says if she was grant-
ed a wish, she’d find time
to contribute to a local
symphony.
“I love playing in sym-
phony settings,” she said.
“That’s my thing. I love it.”

Baptist preacher answers her calling in Belfair
By GORDON WEEKS
gordon@masoncounty.com
Jamie McCallum dis-
covered her calling to
serve God as a Texas teen
witnessing poverty for
the first time in Mexico.
She served on missions
in Egypt and war-torn
Syria before becoming
the pastor two years ago
at Belfair Community
Church.
Those experiences
have helped shape Mc-
Callum’s desire for her
parishioners “to see each
other for our common hu-
manity.”
McCallum was born
and raised in a town out-
side Dallas. Her grandfa-
ther was a minister.
“He was your typi-
cal old-school Baptist
preacher,” she recalled.
“He was passionate. He
would preach loud and
long.”
Her grandfather had
few physical possessions,
but was “rich in relation-
ships,” McCallum said.
“He was tied to the
truth,” she said. “He
loved his people.”
When McCallum was
a teenager, she joined
her church youth group
on a weeklong mission at
a Mexican village 1 mile
from the border.
The congregation
members she spoke to
were humble, and the
community clearly has
“needs and brokenness,”
McCallum said.
Another plus: McCal-
lum is an outdoor enthu-
siast who bikes, kayaks
and climbs mountains,
including Mount Ellinor
last weekend and Rainier
the week before.
Her congregation av-
erages about 125 people
each Sunday, which can
vary depending on the
scheduling of the Seattle
Seahawk games, she said
with a laugh. The church’s
community outreach in-
cludes free Wednesday
lunches served to people
in need, a free Thanks-

packs for kids. The build-
ing hosts Boy Scouts and

Harlow pushes Salmon Center forward in executive director role
By MICHAEL HEINBACH
michael@masoncounty.com
Mendy Harlow doesn’t look
at her reflection in the mir-
ror to see a woman in a male-
dominated field looking back
at her. Instead, Harlow sees
a mother, an outdoors enthu-
siast, a world traveler and
someone striving to connect
the North Mason County com-
munity to the organization she
heads, the Hood Canal Salm-
on Enhancement Group (HC-
SEG). The HCSEG is housed
within the 38-acre certified
organic farm known as the
Salmon Center, just a stone’s
throw away from downtown
Belfair.
Mason County wasn’t high
on Harlow’s list of places she
saw herself settling when she
first arrived at the Salmon
Center as an AmeriCorps vol-
unteer in 2003. By the time
her yearlong commitment was
finished, Harlow began think-
ing seriously about changing
directions and making North
Mason County her permanent
home.
“After that year, I said to
myself ‘Wow, I don’t need
to go anywhere else. This is
perfect,’ ” Harlow said. “After
that year, I started reconsid-
ering my thoughts of going to
graduate school, and the ex-
ecutive director of the Hood
Canal Salmon Enhancement
Group at the time (Neil Wer-
ner) offered me a position as
a biologist. In reality, I was
more of a part-time biologist
and part-time administrative
assistant.”
The Salmon Center works
to promote salmon restora-
tion, education and research
with the hopes of reviving the
dwindling salmon population
in the Pacific Northwest. The
HCSEG’s motto is “bringing
the world of salmon and people
together for all generations.”
What excited Harlow about
continuing on with the HC-
SEG after her AmeriCorps
tenure came to a close was the
work she’d done involving the
citizens of Mason County.
“Honestly, it was about the
community work I was doing
at the time,” she said. “We
were increasing the people’s
knowledge of the world around
them, nature and conserving
land. We were really develop-
ing opportunities for people in
our area.
“This community thrives,
but I really wanted to have
this community to have more
opportunities to recreate, get
outside, have fish to catch to
feed their families. Those were
the big things for me — how
this organization could engage
in the community and make
life better.”

Judy Scott: Building a united vision for the future isn’t easy
BY DANA KAMPA
dana@masoncounty.com
Mason County offers a plethora of opportunities
for business, tourism and pastimes, and one local
woman has been involved in just about all of them.
Judy Scott ran to represent District 1 for the Port
of Allyn in 2000, and she will have a position on the
board through at least 2021. Though she has been in-
volved with many local organizations over the years,
she initially never saw herself as a future local politi-
cian.
“I didn’t set out to run for office,” Scott said. “I saw
a need, and I thought it was something I could help
with.”
As a business owner, she was concerned about
sewer issues in Belfair. The North Mason Chamber
of Commerce used to meet in the Belfair Café, which
she owned. When a position with the chamber opened
up, Scott asked herself ‘What have I got to lose?’
Though she didn’t expect to win, Scott secured a
position with the chamber and went on to be a figure
in the community.
Scott has also been involved with North Mason
Community Voice, an organization that hosts forums

2016 with plans to turn the lot into four three-story
apartment buildings.
Being involved in the community where she was
raised has always come naturally, Scott said, and she
partially attributes her interest in building up the
community to being a small-business owner.
“I think being a small-business owner kind of
started it just because as a business owner, you have
to be involved and keep the community’s pulse, what
their interests are and what their needs are,” she
said.
Her list of positions within the community goes
on: licensed real estate broker for Reid Real Estate
for over 20 years; owner of MS Scott Enterprises;
house builder; farmer raising hay, grapes and cattle;
ministry leader of worship for the Christian Worship
Center; member of North Bay Historical Society;
even a wholesale paper delivery person for the
Seattle Times.
Her other business, MJ Scott Enterprises LLC, is
a property management firm that oversees commer-
cial and residential rental properties.
Juggling these roles can be a challenge, especially
when it comes to planning projects years or even de-
cades into the future. One of those projects is the res-
toration of the Sargent Oyster House, which she, Bon-
nie Knight and others have been working on for years.
Trying to convey the benefits of a project years
in the making while facing the upfront costs can be
difficult, Scott said. However, she said she welcomes
other locals’ support and even their criticism.
“I have a lot of support, and that’s kind of what it
takes,” she said. “It takes a village for all of us.”
When it comes down to it, Scott said it’s difficult to
label any single moment as the one that started her
on her path.
“I don’t really know where it started, except that
I’ve always been in the community and cared about
the community,” Scott said.

Mason County Women

Animal control sometimes gets wild for officer
BY DANA KAMPA
dana@masoncounty.com
Working as the Mason
County Sheriff’s Office’s
only animal control offi-
cer sometimes gets a bit
wild for Cindy Brewer.
She was returning from
a call concerning animal
abuse of a horse prior
to an interview with the
Journal, with her canine
companion in tow.
Brewer was born and
raised in Mason County,
and now spends most
of her days patrolling
the county with her un-
orthodox partner, Jack, a
lanky, 165-pound black-
and-white Great Dane
with a gentle disposition
and affinity for cheese-
burgers.
But Jack is just one of
the many animals Brewer
works with in a week. The
Sheriff’s Office responds
to calls of all sorts, from
cases of animal cruelty
to issues with livestock
at large. Brewer said the
most common calls to
which she responds are
for aggressive domestic
animals, mostly dogs.

Fees: This week marked 4th time city has discussed issue

schools in the Shelton School
District, courtesy of a $65 mil-
lion building bond passed by
voters in February.
Commissioner Tracy Moore
and Mayor Gary Cronce stat-
ed their preferences on two
options for proposed build-
ing permit fees and related
charges. But Commissioner
Kathy McDowell was not at
the meeting, and the commis-
sion took no vote.
It was the fourth time the
commissioners have discussed
the issue without taking a vote.
The debate over building
and public works fees contin-
ues 17 months after the com-
mission voted 2-1 to reduce or
eliminate fees and charges for
home and business developers.
Moore cast the dissenting vote.
The city reduced charges
for all plan review and build-
ing permits by 30 percent;
Sentence: Boynton makes short apology during hearing
continued from page A-1
before handing down pun-
ishment. “In my opinion, the
ultimate act of domestic vio-
lence is a controlled murder,
a controlled murder such as
strangling. It is my view that
strangulation is one of the
most hideous forms of mur-
der because it is so very per-
sonal.”
Sentencing guidelines for
second-degree murder call for
a range of 144 to 244 months
of confinement.
When asked if he was will-
ing to speak before the court
prior to sentencing, Boynton,
who appeared stone-faced
throughout the approximately
45-minute hearing, uttered a
brief apology that was barely
audible. He did not face mem-
bers of Hagelin’s family during
eliminated all water and sew-
er application fees; eliminated
the water connection charge,
which is a deposit intended to
cover the cost for city crews to
construct a lateral line from
the water main to the city
property line; reduced wa-
ter and sewer general facil-
ity charges by 55 percent; re-
duced the Traffic Impact Fees
by 55 percent; and eliminated
the sidewalk improvement
charge.
In June, city community
and economic director Mark
Ziegler reported that eight
builders constructing 13
homes had applied for permits
this year and received the re-
duced and eliminated fees.
But city staff said the move
cost the city $117,171 in lost
revenue, including $52,000
in uncollected Traffic Impact
fees.
The city would need to
raise utility rates to keep the
his comments.
Mason County Prosecutor
Michael Dorcy asked Goodell
to impose a mid-range sen-
tence of 194 months of prison
time. Boynton initially plead-
ed not guilty to a charge of
first-degree murder, which
implies premeditation, be-
fore changing his plea to
the amended second-degree
charge July 25.
Though Jones didn’t con-
test Dorcy’s request for a mid-
range sentence, Boynton’s
public defender attempted to
paint Boynton as something
other than an unremorseful
murderer.
“Mr. Boynton immediate-
ly confessed to the murder,”
Jones told the court. “This is
not a confession that was ob-
tained through some sort of
intricate law enforcement psy-
fee reductions in place for new
builders, public works director
Craig Gregory told the com-
missioners.
In June, the commissioners
considered four options sug-
gested by city staff:
n Make no changes, and
extend last year’s cuts to per-
mit fees, impact fees, hookup
charges and connection fees.
n Increase overall fees and
charges by 20 percent.
n Return the fees and
charges to 2015 levels.
n Establish a Shelton Re-
newal Program that would
eliminate fees and charges on
lots targeted for renewal de-
velopment, while other areas
would pay the 2015 levels.
The commissioners also
discussed a proposal by the
mayor: increase all fees by
20 percent from the current
rates starting in January, and
charge no fees to develop dam-
aged, vacant houses. To qual-
chological procedure, or really
through any attempts to even
gain a confession on Sgt. (Jeff)
Rhoads’ part. This was a back-
ground question that yielded a
complete confession for mur-
der.”
But Goodell felt strongly
enough to impose a sentence
of confinement more than two
years longer than the one re-
quested by the state. He ex-
plained the reasoning behind
the sentence to a courtroom
attended by about 10 members
of Hagelin’s family.
“During her last period of
consciousness, I anticipate
that Ms. Hagelin suffered the
greatest sense of hopelessness
and betrayal,” Goodell said be-
fore announcing the sentence.
“Mr. Boynton chose to cross
the line. He has shown he is
a menace to society, a society
ify, a structure would need to
be torn down or remodeled at
least 50 percent of the com-
pleted cost of the finished

At Monday’s meeting, the
city staff had whittled the
choice down to two options:
n Increase overall fees and
charges by 20 percent from
current rates.
n Establish a Shelton Re-
newal Program with zero fees
and charges on lots targeted
for renewal development; re-
turn costs on the other prop-
erties to 2015 levels; and cre-
ate additional incentives for
renewal development.

Hagelin’s body was discov-
ered May 10 by a Department
of Natural Resources work
crew. Hegelin was found ly-
ing face down in a stream in
a wooded ravine in Hamma
Hamma Ridge near Lilliwaup.
The Mason County Sher-
iff’s Office’s affidavit of prob-
able cause for Boynton’s arrest
states that after Hagelin was
found, detectives were dis-
patched to question Boynton
at the Lilliwaup residence he
shared with Hagelin, his girl-
friend.
With little prompting,
Boynton confessed to the kill-
ing. He told detectives he was
driving with Hagelin as his
passenger to his job in Brinnon
when he “grew tired of Hagelin
and her arguing and threaten-
ing demeanor.”

Cronce defended the fee cuts
and reductions enacted in 2015
and said they inspired growth.
He said he doesn’t want to re-
turn the rates to the levels
in 2015, pointing out over-
all developer fees were about
$18,000 per house in Shelton,
compared to about $13,000 in
“like cities” such as Aberdeen,
Centralia and Port Orchard.
Cronce proposed the city
raise fees 20 percent on Jan.
1, and then another 25 per-
cent in 2019. He said he is “not
sold” on the idea of charging
no fees to develop vacant lots.
After asking many ques-
tions of city staff, Moore said
she prefers the second option.
“I’m excited by the poten-
tial for option B,” she said.
But Moore said she is con-
cerned the city would be incen-
tivizing demolition over resto-
ration. She said she wants to
retain the historic character of
Shelton’s neighborhoods.
Boynton told authorities
that prompted him to drive up
Hamma Hamma Ridge, exit
the car and asphyxiate her
with his hands while Hagelin
remained in the passenger
seat.
Boynton then told detec-
tives he pulled Hagelin’s body
from the car, then discarded
it down a hillside and into the
ravine, where she was discov-
ered 10 days later.
Boynton, who would be 57
upon completion of his prison
sentence, has two previous
Class C felony convictions in
Mason County on his record
stemming from separate ar-
rests in 2013. He was arrested
for malicious mischief on Jan.
24, 2013, and arrested again
less than a month later on a
charge of possession of a con-
trolled substance.

Kilmer holds North Mason town hall

By MICHAEL HEINBACH
michael@masoncounty.com
U.S. Rep. Dennis Kilmer
was both serious and humor-
ous during the Mason County
stop on his weeklong tour of
town hall meetings through
Washington’s 6th Congres-
sional District. Kilmer began
with showing the audience of
about 50 his humorous side.
The third-term congress-
man started with a joke at his
audience’s expense Aug. 10. at
North Mason High School in
Belfair.
“The fact that you’re willing
to hang out in this glorious,
new auditorium with your con-
gressman when it’s beautiful
outside means you’re automat-
ically unusual,” said Kilmer
(D-Gig Harbor).
Kilmer spoke candidly on a
variety of topics as the 43-year-
old native of the Olympic Pen-
insula spent the majority of
his time on stage fielding ques-
tions.
The question-and-answer
period came after Kilmer brief-
ly outlined his priorities and
spoke of his frustrations with
partisan politics that have
dominated the headlines com-
ing from the nation’s capital.
Kilmer said he has two major
priorities — getting the gov-
ernment “back on track” and
doing the same for the econo-
my. Saying so drew applause
from the mostly pro-Kilmer
crowd, just two of a handful of
comments that garnered a vo-
cal reaction.
Kilmer said he understands
how the public is disenfran-
chised with its federal govern-
ment and is looking to repair
that.
“I’m very conscious of the
fact that, as still a reason-
ably new member of Congress,
that I’ve joined an organiza-
tion that according to recent
polling is held in lower regard
than head lice and colonosco-
pies,” Kilmer said. “And I’ve
got a pretty good sense of why
that’s the case.”
Kilmer said he wants more
stringent ethics laws for Con-
gress, via proposed mandatory
ethics training. In a less than
thinly veiled directive toward
President Donald Trump,
Kilmer also said he favors a
Presidential Tax Transpar-
ency Act and a Presidential
Conflicts of Interest Act.

Visitors mill among the entries Aug. 12 for the Taste of Hood Canal’s car show at Belfair State Park.
BY DANA KAMPA
dana@masoncounty.com
As summer festival season comes
closer to an end, the Taste of Hood Ca-
nal took place on a pleasantly warm af-
ternoon Saturday at Belfair State Park.
The topic on the minds of many at-
tendees was whether the choice to move
locations from downtown Belfair to the
park was a good one. The general con-
sensus seemed to be that the change
was a positive one.
“I think it made a huge difference,”
said Story Shumway, the Rotary Club
of North Mason County’s club service
co-chair.
Shumway, who was helping dole
out shrimp melts for Rotary, said she
enjoyed getting to watch visitors mill
around the park while checking out
booths offering grilled clams, fried
chicken and a few other foods.
Of Rotary’s proceeds, 15 percent
went to the Mason County Humane So-
ciety.
One the festival’s star attractions
was the car show. Ed Serra, head coor-
dinator of the show and co-chair of the
festival, said this year drew in 92 en-

tries. In the past, the car show was in a
separate area from the rest of the festi-
val. Moving to the park made it easier
for people to mingle and see all the cre-
ative cars, Serra said.
One of those colorful entries was a
cherry red and bright white 1955 Chevy
that featured a ‘50s theme. The Bel Air
Sport Coupe carried a drive-in movie

its progress on pursuing bids and
signed a lease with the Department
of Natural Resources in a meeting
Tuesday at the Horton Community
Center.
Commissioner Glenn Carlson
described how construction of a
new ramp and dock at Fair Harbor,
two separate projects, has moved
forward over the past two months.
The port held two special meetings,
one July 18 and on Aug. 8, to re-
view and approve project bids. The
commissioners planned to hold an
additional special meeting July 20
to open bids for the ramp and ADA-
compliant restroom, but they had
not received any bids at the time.
The commissioners have since
begun negotiations with Marine
Floats for the floating dock.
During the Aug. 8 meeting, the
commission opened three bids for
the ramp without the restroom. It
has since ruled out Massana Con-
struction for submitting an incom-
plete application and plans to meet
with Quigg Bros. Inc. — which bid
$264,000 — and Rognlin’s Inc. —
which bid $262,000 — in the sec-
ond week of September.
The issue remaining is what
to do about the restroom. Carl-
son said in response to the pub-
lic questioning if the restroom

North Mason Resources reaches out to community

BY DANA KAMPA
dana@masoncounty.com
North Mason Resources
held an open house Friday to
celebrate nine years of serving
the community while offering
refreshments and a peek into
what services it offers to locals
in need.
The resource center, which
provides clothing, food and var-
ious services, is open 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. Monday through Thurs-
day at 140 NE state Route 300
in Belfair.
Teresa Scott, executive di-
rector of the center, said North
Mason Resources hopes to soon
expand its literacy program.
She said a large portion of the
people it helps have literacy
issues and about a third- or
fourth-grade education level.
This, and a lack of computer
education, are barriers to em-
ployment.
“We want to expand our
services as much as possible,”
Scott said.
Those services include men-
tal health, social and financial
education.
Kris Kord, a community
financial educator from Pen-
insula Credit Union, said the
credit union has a staff mem-
ber available at the center one
day a week for financial coun-
seling. Topics include budget-
ing, applying for loans, open-
ing an account and more.
Harry Tachell, one of the
center’s longest tenants,
helps residents receive their
benefits from the U.S. De-
partment of Veteran Affairs.
He said the Mason County
Veterans Assistance Fund
provides up to $1,200 per
year for qualifying veterans
in the county for necessities
such as food, housing and
utilities, and he can help resi-
dents file claims.

chief Beau Bakken.
Bakken said one of the big-
gest advantages to having
community response team po-
sitions available is that it al-
lows residents to get involved
while only taking 40 to 70
hours of training — though
additional training opportuni-
ties are available — compared
to the 1,000 hours required of
official volunteer firefighters.
The chief said team mem-

“They know the commu-

ful,” Bakken said.
Fire Prevention Captain
Jeromy Hicks said team mem-

most need in remote areas by
marking appropriate drive-
ways and performing CPR un-
til help arrives.
“Without them, we wouldn’t
be able to do our jobs,” Hicks said.
Though community re-
sponse teams have been pres-
ent since about 2000 in De-

program is only a few years
old. The community response
team has 12 members and four
to five active participants, but
he would ideally prefer to see
10 to 12 available.
After an initial 40-hour
crash course, members take

at Junior Olympics in Kansas

By ALEXANDRA SMITH
alexandra@masoncounty.com
After letting his nerves get the best of him last summer,
Ian Frost stepped into the ring with confidence this year
at the Junior Olympics and placed second in the hammer.
The incoming senior at Mary M. Knight High School has
been practicing four days a week this summer and has im-
proved his throw the past few months.
This year, the Junior Olympics competition was in Kan-
sas and he said he was able to get better throws and calm
nerves.
“This year was a lot easier,” Frost said. “I just got in and
had a really good practice and warmup throws, and then I
got my first throw in, which I usually foul my first one. I
just had fun the rest of the time.”
Frost finished second, about 3 feet behind the winner of
the event.
“He threw about what my PR is,” Frost said. “I have
thrown against him a few times, but he had a bad day.
He could have thrown a lot further, but he didn’t, and I
To qualify for the Junior Olympics, Frost competed at
Junior Nationals. But most kids have to go to the associa-
tion meet, in Seattle or the regional meet that is in Spo-
kane. They must place top eight at the association meet and
top five at the regional meet to qualify for Junior Olympics.
Frost automatically qualified for the Junior Olympics by
competing at Junior Nationals.
Frost went to the Junior Olympics in Sacramento, Cali-
fornia, ranked seventh last summer and finished the com-
petition in 15th.
“At the time, this was very devastating, but looking
back now I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Frost said. “It
sparked me to work even harder than previous years and
gave me a struggle to overcome.”
Frost said that traveling to a meet and being at new
facilities will prepare him to travel in college to compete.
“I had never gotten on a flight to go to a meet, so in col-
lege I’ll be doing that a lot more,” Frost said. “I really en-
joyed the experience of traveling to a new place and throw-
ing in a new ring. My sister had thrown there for one of
her college meets and she said it was really nice. I really
enjoyed the facility.”
During this summer, Frost competed at a few small

Fantasy golf was an easy starting
point since each team focused on his or
her specific player without many other
factors to consider. Despite being sim-
ple, it was never organized into a large
hobby or business at the time.
The concept of fantasy football is
attributed to an Oakland businessman
named Wilfred “Bill” Winkenbach.
According to an article published by
a news station in Cleveland, Winken-
back suggested the idea while travel-
ing with the Oakland Raiders as a
limited partner with the team. He
and two Oakland Tribune writers
came up with the basic “blueprint”
for the league, which would later be
known as the Greater Oakland Profes-
sional Pigskin Prognosticators League
(GOPPPL). The first draft was held in
August of 1963, and George Blanda
was the No. 1 pick. According to an
interview conducted by USA Today

Governor makes appointments to WDFW

By ALEXANDRA SMITH
alexandra@masoncounty.com
Gov. Jay Inslee recently appointed
Don McIsaac, a recently retired direc-
tor of a West Coast regional fishery
management council, and reappoint-
ed Larry Carpenter to the Washing-
ton Fish and Wildlife Commission.
The commission is a nine-member
citizen panel that sets policy for the
Washington Department of Fish and
Wildlife (WDFW). Members are ap-
pointed by the governor to six-year
terms and are subject to state Senate
confirmation. Three members must
reside in Eastern Washington, three
in Western Washington, and three
may live anywhere in the state. No
two members may live in the same
county.
The governor appointed McIsaac,
who lives in rural Clark County, to a
term ending Dec. 31, 2022. McIsaac
served as the executive director of the
Pacific Fishery Management Council
from 2000 to 2016. The council over-
sees fisheries management in ocean
waters 3 to 200 miles off the Pacific
Coast. He previously worked for the
Oregon Department of Fish and Wild-
life and the then-Washington Depart-
ment of Fisheries.
Inslee reappointed Carpenter, of
Mount Vernon, to a term ending Dec.
31, 2018. Carpenter, who was initially
appointed to the commission in De-
cember of 2011, currently serves as
vice chair of the commission.

that he leads adults and teens into

might think –– it’s a growing industry
in an America that’s as busy finding
solutions to its manifold addictions as
it is in creating them in the first place.

The 3A Narrows League was home of Shelton High School athletics since the 1980s. This year, the Climbers will begin their second year in the South
Sound Conference.

South Sound Conference starts second year

By ALEXANDRA SMITH
alexandra@masoncounty.com
After a scramble in early January 2016 with state
reclassification, Shelton High School joined some
fresh faces and new competition. This year, the
Climbers begin their second year in the South Sound
Conference.
“The first year of the newly formed SSC went
well,” Shelton Athletic Director Jim Judson said.
“Our travel distance was reduced, which meant ath-
letes were able to get home earlier on school nights.
The scheduling of ‘C’-level contests in most sports
was improved due to conference members’ ability to
field ‘C’-level teams.”
Washington went through reclassification for all
of its schools in the winter of 2016. Based on student
enrollment, many schools moved in classifications. It
was the first time reclassification changed to a four-
year cycle instead of a two-year cycle.
When the Tacoma School District attempted to
move all five of its high schools into the same confer-
ence, it set off a domino effect. School officials began
to worry their leagues would not be viable, so several
put in requests to move into new conferences.
Shelton threw its hat into the mix and applied for
the now non-existent South Puget Sound League be-
cause it felt the Narrows League would not be fea-
sible for competition.
The 3A Narrows League was the home of Shelton
athletics since the 1980s. It included schools in Lac-
ey, Tacoma and the Kitsap peninsula.
Finally, the Washington Interscholastic Athletic
Association District 3 leadership, which governs
leagues in South Puget Sound, told the 16 3A schools
they needed to come up with an amicable resolu-
tion. The solution was to create two new leagues:
the South Sound Conference and the Pierce County
League. This allowed District 3 to continue district
playoffs and allowed schools to face opponents closer
to home.
“The overall competitive level of the conference
was a step up from our former league,” Judson said.
“More teams and individuals were able to reach the
postseason because the WCD 3A classification had
fewer schools vying for the berths in the district-level
competition.”
Along with Shelton, the SSC includes Capital in
Olympia, Central Kitsap in Silverdale, North Thur-
ston in Lacey, Peninsula in Gig Harbor and Timber-
line in Lacey. It also includes Gig Harbor and Yelm
high schools.
Most of Shelton’s athletic programs had faced ev-
ery school in either a nonconference game or in the
old Narrows League before the creation of the South
Sound Conference.
“Since seven of the eight schools came from the
same league, there wasn’t much in the way of chal-
lenges,” Judson said. “The one area that we focused
on was creating a competitive conference founded on
mutual respect and sportsmanship. I’d say our con-
ference was successful in establishing norms and
practices we all could support in these areas.”

SHS hires from within volleyball staff

By ALEXANDRA SMITH
alexandra@masoncounty.com

When the volleyball head coach position opened,

Tiffany Alvarado knew one of her goals could be ac-
complished. Alvarado, who was previously the C
team coach at Shelton High School, will begin her
first season this fall at the helm of the varsity squad.
She said though the change was unexpected, she was
ready to step into the role.
“It’s a difficult transition,” Alvarado said. “We are
in a really difficult league. My goal is to get in there
and continue things — continue the program. I am
not coming in to make any drastic changes. I was
lucky to play for coach (Steve) Beck and to coach un-
der him, so a lot of my principles follow what he has
already started.”
Alvarado is a Shelton alumna and a teacher at
Olympic Middle School. She played for Beck in high
school and is thankful to have worked alongside him
at the high school. She said a middle school volleyball
coach position became available and she coached at
Olympic Middle School until she moved up to the C
team at the high school.
“Any type of sport, especially in high school, is a
great way for girls to connect and be mentored,” Al-
varado said. “Coaching is just a really great opportu-
nity to help local girls in the community that was my
home to achieve the things some of them think they
never can achieve.”
Alvarado said she enjoys volleyball because of the
camaraderie and the competition. Journal photo by Alexandra Smith

New Shelton cheer coach ready to give back

By ALEXANDRA SMITH
alexandra@masoncounty.com
New Shelton High School cheer
coach Sara Brown has set the bar
high with her team and hopes it can
focus more on community involve-
ment. Though she doesn’t have a back-
ground in cheerleading, Brown was a
parent volunteer for half of the season
last year, so she knew the job would
be opening.
“My daughter did all-star cheer for
two years and then she was on the high
school team last year, but I have never
been a cheerleader,” Brown said.
She has already had the team at a
few community events leading up to
football season, but Brown hopes the
team can support more than just Shel-
ton High School’s football and basket-
ball teams.
“I had gotten to know the girls and
I could just see that they are having
so much fun and they have so much
potential to give back to the commu-
nity,” Brown said. “It is a huge part of
what I want to do. I saw the potential
there and there’s just so much they
can do for the school, too. Just cheer-
ing for football and basketball they are
so busy, but I feel like they should also
be cheering for all the other sports and
activities and supporting everything
at the high school.”
Brown is working on a partnership
with the Little Climber cheer squad
and has been going to community
events. She said she wants to teach
the team that cheer isn’t about being
recognized for doing good things, but
it’s how team members feel afterward
that should matter.
“We are working on getting that
together and building that kind of re-
lationship between the two programs
(Shelton High and Little Climb-
ers),” Brown said. “Maybe we could
cheer with them at some of the Little
Climber games and they are going to Sara Brown, the

“You could go to her for anything,” Alexandra Smith
Brown said. “She was never demean-
ing. She was always positive. I think it
is really important that all kids have
somebody they can look up to. I don’t
think that all kids, not just cheer, have
someone to look up to. Parents work a
lot and kids just don’t have the paren-
tal upbringing anymore. So if we can
create an atmosphere where they are
comfortable and they have someone to
look up to, that’s really important to
me.”

It’s just you and your flaming per-
sonality, all your buttons and wiring
exposed.
Gradually –– or perhaps suddenly
–– it’s the tent and only the tent
that takes on your fury. It’s the hard
ground, the rain, your tentmate’s
stinky boots.
Without the old shields and ad-
dictive coping mechanisms, the self-

personality dynamics surface and
one’s “issues” have a chance to become
addressed, and most importantly, ac-
cording to Nathan, differences can
be integrated and tempered in a way
that the survival of the group remains
paramount.
By bonding and learning to re-

You acquire a working blueprint for

FALLS, CONSEQUENCES
All well and good. But today, on the

am part of the problem. I walk away
from the blackened fire ring, kicking
the last dry embers into the swirling
cauldron below.
What if it was my column, with my
directions, that brought some faceless
party to this special place, and gave
permission, in a way, for this indul-
gent little vandalism to occur?
Thanks, Great Writer.

meets in Centralia, but he
also went to Junior Nationals,
a meet consisting of the best
hammer throwers ages 19 and
under. He competed against
both high-schoolers and col-
lege freshmen.
“I wanted to get to Junior
Nationals and just have a
good time there,” Frost said.
“I placed 11th there, and I
wasn’t expected to do much
there, so I just went for the
experience. I had a lot of fun
at that.”
Frost said he was the
youngest competitor at Junior
Nationals. The hammer that
was used for competition was
about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds heavi-
er than the usual hammer he
competes with.
“I think I learned how to
calm my nerves a little bit
more at a big meet,” Frost
said. “It is probably one of
the biggest meets I have
been to (Junior Nationals). I
am learning to deal with my
nerves a little bit more.”
Along with his second-place
finish at the Junior Olympics,
Frost earned All-American
status by finishing in the top
eight at the Junior Olympics.
“I really wanted to hit 215
(feet) this year. I hit 209 as
my PR, which is alright,”
Frost said.
As summer winds down
and school begins again, Frost
has no plans to scale back his
training regime.
“I am going to lift a lot in
the offseason, and I am not
playing football this year,”
Frost said. “Just because I
need to prep and reduce the
risk for injury, so I am going to
focus on hammer. I am mostly
going to talk to colleges and go
on some official visits.”

Peachy: Fantasy sports looking for new target group

continued from page B-1
salary cap and players would carry
different values to be determined by
a number of factors, including per-
formance in a few key statistical cat-
egories during the last few seasons.
As the season played out, the players’
performance would win the owner
points. Trades could be made mid-
season within limits and for a price.
The owner with the most points at
the end of the season would emerge
the champion. What separated the
Rotisserie league from previous fan-
tasy models was the “owners’ ” ability
to draft active players from Major
League Baseball (MLB) and follow
them through the season. Previous
leagues ran realistic simulations us-
ing statistics for seasons whose out-
comes were already known.
Okrent found success for his
league through his involvement in
the media, teaching sports journalists
about the game. The league gained
popularity among sports journalists
during the 1981 MLB strike. With
little else to write about, journalists
turned to writing columns about the
Rotisserie league. This marked the
beginning of a new concept in sports
media, coverage of fantasy leagues.
Today, many media companies bring
in great profit from commentators
and columnists who are able to suc-
cessfully report and write about fan-
tasy sports.
As of September 2015, the Fantasy
Sports Trade Association estimated
that 56.8 million people ages 12 and
above in the United States and Can-
ada played fantasy sports in 2015.
Fantasy Sports is estimated to have
a $3 billion to $4 billion annual eco-
nomic impact across the sports indus-
try. And with the help of media and
the growing fantasy sports market,
daily fantasy sports leagues FanDuel
and DraftKings were able to gener-
ate over $300 million in investments
from networks like Comcast, FOX
Sports, and Time Warner.
Football is arguably the easiest
place to get started in the fantasy
market, because games are on the
same few days every week, unlike
baseball and basketball, where teams
can play back-to-back games, and
require a lot of maintenance. With a
big boom in information on the inter-
net on fantasy sports, it is easier to
access tips and trades for a fantasy
team. Knowledge truly is power, and
with this information accessible to
men and women alike, women now
have the ability to compete, which
was a barrier for a while.
The next challenge is finding the
right women. Roughly 6.4 million
women played fantasy football last
year, up 462,000 from 2012, accord-
ing to the Fantasy Sports Trade
Association. I think these leagues
should be seeking young women
whose significant others also play
fantasy football. Competition can fuel
a lot of women into playing fantasy
sports, and a desire to know more
about sports can also get women in-
terested in playing. I think fantasy
football has grown in popularity be-
cause it appeals to everyone regard-
less of athletic ability, particularly
women, who are less likely to have
played the sport. Women are now
able to compete in that same arena
because it is not based on physical
abilities; it’s based on analysis and
personal opinion.
The wealth of information avail-
able online from sports media out-
lets such as ESPN encouraged me
to play fantasy football for the first
time two years ago. I decided to play
because my friends seemed to re-
ally enjoy it, and I am a naturally
competitive person. All of a sudden,
I found myself watching three games
on Sunday rather than only the
Steelers game I would have watched
otherwise. I found myself spend-
ing hours researching the upcoming
games, checking the waiver wire for
good available players and analyzing
my roster to find the “perfect” com-
bination for that particular week. I
was one win away from winning my
league, and now I am hooked.
Most of the psychology-based
research on why women aren’t as
involved in fantasy sports as men
comes down to traditional gender
roles in society. Basically, men play
fantasy sports to show dominance in
knowledge about a particular sport,
and women are more likely to play
as a social experience with friends
and family. Taken as a whole, the
research on sports fans paints a pic-
ture of female fans as generally less
invested in sports than men, less
committed to the teams they follow,
and motivated primarily by the social
aspects of being a fan. Sport organi-
zations, especially large media orga-
nizations, have the resources, per-
sonnel and technology to incorporate
more women into the activity. This
can come in the form of more social
leagues, hiring female fantasy com-
mentators, altering advertisements
away from the male-dominated atmo-
sphere, and offer or promote fantasy
sports utilizing women’s athletics.
This effort has a lot of different pos-
sible outcomes. An organization may
lose money, hours of resources and
time, but the upside offers so much
more. The potential to tap into a
large demographic seems like a no-
brainer considering this is a group
that enjoys sports and actually has
an interest in fantasy sports.
The birth, rise and evolution of
fantasy sports undoubtedly has had
an enormous impact on the media as
a whole. From helping newspapers
become more successful to break-
ing media companies out in the on-
line era, fantasy sports have been
a catalyst for many sports media
companies’ success. With new con-
cepts of fantasy sports constantly
being tested and tried in the market,
such as daily fantasy sports, our
national obsession with sports fuels
the demand for more options. As
these companies try to keep up with
a market that is ever changing and
growing, innovation and uniqueness
will set apart those who survive and
those who thrive. The companies who
aren’t afraid to take risks and reach
out to new markets, like women, may
find themselves holding the key to
the next big demographic boom.

Lately, the waters of Hood Canal have looked like they belong more in the Caribbean than the Pacific Northwest. Teri King from the Washington Sea Grant
attributes this change to a coccolithophore bloom, composed of tiny plankton. The change is even visible from space.

POWERFUL ADVICE

Hydropower flows here in Mason County

M
ason County PUD 3 has long
celebrated the benefits of
hydroelectricity with good
reason. Reliable, renewable and clean,
hydropower makes up 87 percent of the
electricity used in local homes. Combin-
ing hydro with electricity from nuclear
and wind power means 97 percent of
Mason County’s power is carbon free
energy.
That’s why PUD 3 works to main-
tain our access to this excellent energy
source. We work with our partners at
the Bonneville Power
Administration, the
Pacific Northwest
Congressional del-
egation, and fellow
utilities to ensure that
this legacy is passed
along to future gen-
erations.
We’ve partnered
By JOEL with over 100 other
MYER electrical utilities and
organizations to re-
mind local customers that “Hydropower
Flows Here.” Whether you’re watching
TV, heating or cooling your house, play-
ing video games, or cheering on the local
sports team under the lights, hydropow-
er flows here.
Threats to our clean and cost-effective
energy come in many shapes and sizes.
Educating our customers about the
source of their electricity is important,
especially because public power utili-
ties throughout the Pacific Northwest
work daily to ensure the hydro system
remains a valuable contributor to the
region’s economy and lifestyle.
It’s been proposed that the Bonnev-
ille Power Administration’s high volt-
age power lines that bring energy from
nearly 30 dams in the Columbia River
Basin be sold to private investors, which
would raise costs for all customers in the
region.
The Grand Coulee Dam, located on the Columbia River, provides
hydroelectric power for much of the Pacific Northwest.
Demands to change hydro operations
for salmon restoration could push the
costs of just spilling water through the
dam spillways (without generating elec-
tricity) to nearly $190 million.
A treaty with Canada to hold water
for flood control and electricity gen-
eration is up for reconsideration. It’s
expected our friends to the north will
ask for more money as a part of their
willingness to maintain upper Columbia
River reservoirs for the many benefits
we get from a well-managed river sys-
tem.
Perhaps the biggest threat to our
hydropower legacy is ignorance, and by
association a devaluation of the source
of our electricity. We’ve all heard the old
Photo courtesy of WikiPedia Commons
story of a person who buys milk, without
having any idea that it comes from dairy
cows. The same logic should not be ap-
plied to electricity. Every time you use
electricity, hydropower flows here.
Did you know?
Mason County electricity customers
get about 87 percent of their electricity
from federal hydroelectric dams in the
Columbia River Basin.
Although Mason County does not get
energy from Tacoma Power’s Cushman
Hydroelectric project, the recreational
opportunities and beauty of Lake Cush-
man are unmatched — because of
hydro.
The hydropower system and its public
power customers fund an extensive fish
and wildlife program in the Columbia
River Basin. It is working. There are
more fish in the Columbia River than
at any time since the first the first dam
was built on the lower river at Bonn-
eville in 1938. Young salmon make the
downstream trip through eight federal
dams on an average rate of 97 percent
survival at each facility.
Hydropower is a great battery for
wind and solar. It can be quickly ramped
up and down to integrate intermittent
energy into the regional power grid.
Barges transport 42 million tons of
cargo, valued at over $20 billion, on the
“marine highway” created by the Colum-
bia and Snake River dams. It’s the most
environmentally friendly way to move
cargo, keeping 700,000 trucks off the
region’s highways every year.
The annual net earned income from
Pacific Northwest agriculture exceeds $8
billion. The region’s economy is bolstered
by 7.8 million acres of irrigated agricul-
tural land that, without hydropower and
reservoirs, would be too dry to farm suc-
cessfully.
The rivers of the Pacific Northwest
are not only icons of the region’s natu-
ral beauty, but also provide a constant
supply of energy. Hydropower has been
the backbone to the region’s clean en-
ergy economy for 80 years. It is helping
us move into a modern era of energy
consumption. Because of its flexibility,
hydropower has helped integrate newer
renewable energy resources into the
grid, while ensuring the reliability of the
power system through all weather condi-
tions.
So remember, no matter what you
use electricity for in Mason County, “Hy-
dropower Flows Here.”

HARSTINE ISLAND NEWS

Pioneer School undergoing remarkable transformation

O
ver the years I’ve had
conversations with
islanders about what
draws the large number of sea
gulls to the light poles. The
other day, as I crossed the
bridge around 3 p.m.,
I counted 34 gulls and
presto, I thought I had
figured it out – it’s the
heat. Those gulls were
up there resting dur-
ing the hottest part of
the day. Maybe not; a
few days later I crossed
about the same time
and there was not one By MIKE
single gull on a light CALLAGHAN
pole.
Have you driven by
Pioneer School lately? Wow,
what a transformation. I am
excited to go on a tour and see
the new facility. School Dis-

Brewer has let us know that
construction is on budget and
a little ahead on time. The
first day of school will be Sept. tact Nick at 427-5521.  in 1979 and “Conversations

FAMILY HISTORIES
PROJECT STILL SEEKING
STORIES
People have been living on
Harstine Island since the late
1800s. We have a long and rich
history. Two books have been
written compiling our heritage:
“A History of Harstine Island
and Its People” by Beulah
Hitchcock and Helen Wingert
with Esther: a Personal
History of Harstine Island” by
Esther Goetsch as told by
John Erickson in 1998. Sandy
Murphy is presently the
Harstine Island Community
Club historian. She is looking
to all islanders to add to a
collection of family histories.
She would like your personal
story about coming to the
island. How did you find
your way here? What is your
community involvement?
What joys and adventures
have you experienced since
moving here? Just be kind of
of your island life experiences.
And you can include a
photo or two. This project is
being called the Historical
Preservation Family Histories
Project 2017. You can contact
Sandy at twobeachbums101@

2ND CENTURY GROUP
SEEKS DONATIONS
The 2nd Century group got
together the other night to
discuss ways to raise money.
If you remember, this group
was formed to meet the needs
of future expansion. Harstine
Island is going to grow in pop-
ulation to the point where the
century-old Harstine Island
Community Hall will be out-
grown. The 2nd Century’s goal
is to start raising money now
so that the future the com-
munity won’t have to take out
an expensive loan to repair,
rebuild or expand the hall to
meet the islanders’ needs. One
idea that they have been devel-
oping is a tool sale to be held
at the community hall. It is
still a plan in works, but they
are starting to look for tool
donations. If you have a hand
tool, power tool or garden tool
that has just been taking up
space in your garage, consider
donating it to 2nd Century.
