A former Mason County PUD
1 network administrator accused
of electronically altering her per-
sonal utility and payroll accounts
from 2007 to 2016 is scheduled
to be formally charged with first-
degree theft with aggravating
factors Monday in Mason County
Superior Court.
On Dec. 19, Tyler Bickerton,
Mason County deputy pros-
ecuting attorney, filed charges
against 66-year-old Shelton resi-
dent Cynthia Jeanne Carow.
Court documents allege Carow
used her authority as network
administrator to bilk more than
$10,000 from the public utility
via payroll misappropriations.
Carow is now retired.
Kristin Masteller, PUD 1 gen-
eral manager, told the Shelton-
Mason County Journal in a tele-
phone interview Tuesday that
the Potlatch-based public utility
serving about 5,250 electricity
customers is looking forward to
seeing Carow in court.
“We’re relieved and happy the
process is moving forward,” Mas-
teller said. “It’s been dragging

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Citizens have
already
spoken on
MPD tax
Editor, the Journal
Whose advice should the
county commissioners listen
to?
A “Mason County Citizens’
Advisory Budget Committee”
gave advice to the Mason
County commissioners in
December. The board’s advice
was to create an independent
Metropolitan Park District
(MPD) for all of Mason Coun-
ty (excluding the City of Shel-
ton, which has its own MPD).
The county commissioners
appeared to agree that a
separate, independent MPD
would be a good idea.
Wait a minute. Wasn’t
there another piece of advice
given by the whole of Mason
County?
A citizens’ vote on a Mason
County Metropolitan Park
District (Prop. 1) was held
in November 2016. The 2016
results were 64.4 percent no
votes to the proposed inde-
pendent MPD with an inde-
pendent board and parallel
government to an existing
county park agency. Commis-
sioners in December seem to
have forgotten the county-
wide decision by the voters
in 2016. This is on the track
to be the same proposed in-
dependent park district with
its own taxing authority and
distance from accountability
to citizens. Do the county
commissioners not hear an
actual legal citizens’ vote and
deem it important enough to
remember or even view the
election results as advice?

issue, Steve Hecht’s name was
misspelled. The Journal regrets
the error.
If the Mason County com-
missioners and the county’s
“Citizens’ Advisory Budget
Committee” feel that the
county parks need more rev-
enue, then an MPD should be
proposed under the control
of the county commissioners
themselves. Don’t outsource
the responsibility and ac-
countability to another new
layer of government. The rev-
enue should be specified only
for parks and not be part of
the general fund. At least the
citizens vote on a new MPD
approach. The citizens have
already advised the county
that they do not want an in-
dependent board MPD.
In actuality, maybe the
citizens do not want any MPD
or new tax at all.

Alzheimer’s
Editor, the Journal
The Building Our Largest
Dementia (BOLD) Infrastruc-
ture for Alzheimer’s Act has
just been signed into law, and
I want to thank Congressman
Denny Heck for having been
a co-sponsor of this meaning-
ful legislation.
The BOLD Act will allow
effective Alzheimer’s public
health interventions to be im-
plemented across the country.
This is important to me
because as a caregiver for my
mother, I am well aware of
the critical need to engage the
public health community in
the battle against Alzheimer’s
and other dementias.
Every 65 seconds someone
was clear that changes were
needed.
In 2011, WDFW embarked
on a nearly four-year process
to amend the HPA rules that
included gathering exten-
sive input from the public,
construction industry, local
governments, tribes, environ-
mental groups and others.
The process quickly turned
into a debate over HPA per-
mit fees, program jurisdiction
and enforcement. Several bills
were introduced in the state
Legislature to resolve the con-
flicts but went nowhere.
One of the largest sticking
points was the scope of
WDFW’s enforcement author-
ity. Critics claimed the agen-
cy could regulate activities
only below the high-water
mark along streams and ma-
rine shorelines. Supporters
argued that few projects take
place entirely below the high
water line and can dramati-
cally affect streamflows, wa-

must remain committed to

By applying a public
health approach to reduce
risk, detect early symptoms,
and advance care, Congress-

change the trajectory of this
devastating disease.

Congress
Editor, the Journal
In 2016, President Trump
campaigned to chase swamp
rats from the Congressional
swamp. These swamp dwell-
ers are not the citizen politi-
cians our founding fathers
envisioned. They are profes-
sional politicians with the
hate politics of House Speaker
Nancy Pelosi. Hate, an ugly
step-child in politics, is wel-
comed by partisan swamp
rats.
If you think Trump is
wrong about the swamp rats,
please explain why Congress

Legislators, chamber, EDC outline priorities for 2019

MacEwen, Griffey, Sheldon rally for support
By Michael Heinbach
michael@masoncounty.com

The common theme touted by 35th Legislative

District lawmakers Tuesday morning during a 2019
Legislative sendoff event at Alderbrook Golf & Yacht
Club was dissatisfaction with Gov. Jay Inslee and
the wish for the state to live within its means.
During the event, co-sponsored by the Shelton-
Mason County Chamber of Commerce and the Eco-
nomic Development Council of Mason County, state
Reps. Drew MacEwen (R-Union) and Dan Griffey
(R-Allyn), and state Sen. Tim Sheldon (D-Potlatch),
each spoke against the current state administra-
tion’s willingness to raise taxes, as well as the local
legislators’ priorities for the 2019 session beginning
Monday in Olympia.
“In the 2018 session, in the Senate anyway, the
majority has changed — I call it the urban Demo-
crats,” Sheldon said. “I’m the rural Democrat, and
the urban Democrats rolled out some things that
they will work especially hard on this year.”
Sheldon went further.
“I think we’ll see that new majority, which has
grown in the Senate — urban Democrats — bring From left, state Reps. Drew MacEwen (R-Union) and Dan Griffey (R-Allyn) and state Sen. Tim Sheldon

‘Once-in-a-lifetime find’ for Shelton merchant

Historic painting on display Jan. 19 at antique store
By Gordon Weeks
gordon@masoncounty.com
In 1776, Captain James Cook set
sail from England on his third and fi-
nal voyage to find a route from the Pa-
cific to Atlantic Ocean around the top
of North America. Also onboard was
John Webber, an artist hired to docu-
ment the voyage in pen, crayon, oils
and watercolors.
When the party was in Prince Wil-
liam Sound in 1778 or 1779, Webber
sketched three pieces in watercolor
and pen-and-ink called “Canoes of
Oonalashka.” Almost 250 years later,
one of those pieces has landed in Shel-
ton.
Ray Frederick, a history buff and
the owner of Garage Sale Maniacs
in downtown Shelton, purchased the
5-by-12-inch work depicting two cano-
ers. The work will be on display Jan.
19 at the shop at 122 W. Cota St.
“It’s a once-in-a-lifetime purchase,”
said Frederick, who has lived in Shel-
ton since 2001 and opened Garage
Sale Maniacs in January 2010.
Frederick believes only about 10
works by Webber are in private collec-
tions throughout the world; the rest
are on display in museums.
“Only people who deal in history
know how rare this is,” said Frederick,
who earned a Bachelor of Arts degree
in history at the University of Puget
Sound.
Webber was 24 years old when he
was offered a role as the expedition art-
ist with Captain Cook on his third, and
final voyage, to explore the Pacific. His
work had caught the eye of Daniel So-
lander, a botanist on Cook’s first voyage.
On the voyage, the artist made
accurate records of the landscapes,
scenes and portraits. One of his first
tasks on the expedition’s return to
England in 1780 was to complete his
portrait of Cook, who was killed by na-
tives in the Sandwich Islands, which
later became the Hawaiian Islands.
He also supervised engravings made
of the pictures so they could be printed
and published, and continued to create
compositions based on his Pacific trav-
els. Webber was a rich man when he
died in 1791.
In 1921, a Seattle attorney bought a
trio of works for 15 pounds; in 1968, he
donated two of them to the University
of Washington.
Frederick said one of his longtime
antique dealers bought the third piece
and offered it to him. Frederick was al-
ready familiar with the artist.
Frederick said his first thought
was, “ ‘Wow, this is incredible.’ I think
it’s the most historic find I’ll probably
make in my lifetime.”
Frederick wouldn’t disclose where
his art dealer found the piece, or how
much he paid for it. The work combines
his love of art and history, he said.
Patrons can view the piece on Jan.
19, but no sale price will be placed on
it.
“I won’t sell it,” Frederick said. “I
will keep it in the family.”

U.S. Marine Corps Sgt. Milan
Franklin’s life changed forever
with a single misstep, Frank-
lin and his wife shared a far
more pleasant life-changing
experience Jan. 5 in Shelton.
A chilly breeze and light
rain couldn’t keep more than
100 people from attending a
dedication ceremony for a spe-
cially adapted home for the
couple, donated with the help
of the Massachusetts-based
nonprofit organization Homes
For Our Troops (HFOT).
While serving in Afghani-
stan in 2011, Franklin stepped
on an improvised explosive
device, resulting in the loss of
both his legs and two fingers
on his right hand. In the years
since, he’s moved from resi-
dence to residence, each with
individual challenges for a
man who sacrificed his limbs
to serve his county. While ex-
Delaree. The couple was mar-
ried on the property where the
home sits today.
The Franklins received a
grand motorcycle escort to the
home dedication from the Pa-
triot Guard Riders, and drove
down the driveway of their
new Vic King Road residence
to cheers, salutes and no
shortage of American flags.
“The first (reaction) I had
was thank you so much to our
neighbors for allowing them
to park on their property,”
Sgt. Franklin joked. “Because
I couldn’t believe how many
people were here. Other than
it, it was ‘we’re home.’ ”
Prior to the home dedica-
tion, the crowd gathered heard
speeches by state Reps. Dan
Griffey and Drew MacEwen,
HFOT executive director Bill
Ivey, Thurston County con-
tractor Carey Miller of Miller
Construction, Lisa Perry from
Sierra Pacific Industries and
that I will support the rest of
my life,” Griffey said. “If you
look at their financials and
the percentage of what they
take in donations that go to
overhead is almost nothing. I
don’t know how you (Ivey) run
your organization, but you’re
amazing in what you do.”
Ivey, whose organization
builds specially adapted homes
for injured U. S. military vet-
erans throughout the country,
sang the praises of the commu-
nity that’s rallied to welcome
two of its newest members.
“This is a super, super en-
vironment, and I couldn’t be
happier for the Franklins to
be moving in here,” Ivey told
the crowd.
When it was his turn to
speak, Sgt. Franklin stood at
the podium with the help of a
cane and prosthetic legs, and
expressed his sincere gratitude
for the donation of his home.
“This has been an incred-
go, and as I’ve said personally on
many occasions, this home is so
much more than just a home to (my
wife) Del and I.”

ute to his wife, he added, “The

partners, families, parents …
They have to endure the most.
They have to in many cases
put their lives on hold just to
try and make guys and gals

After the speeches, Sgt.
Franklin ceremoniously
raised an American flag on the
large pole sitting before the
couple’s front door, then Sgt.
and Delaree Franklin walked
in to their new residence as
homeowners for the first time.
Once inside, the Franklins
met the media briefly while
attendees toured the home,
led by Ivey, who helped point
out the more than 40 adapta-
tions made to adjust the home
to Sgt. Franklin’s needs.
“We love the small town

So, we love everything about it.”

Shelton entrepreneurs
share joys, trials of business
with OMS sixth-graders
By Gordon Weeks
gordon@masoncounty.com
As the owner of three Shelton busi-
nesses, Monica Carvajal-Beben on
Tuesday afternoon shared the joys
and challenges of being an entrepre-
neur with Olympic Middle School
sixth-graders.
First, the positive parts of co-own-
ing Smoking Mo’s restaurant, the
Magnolia Room and the Craft Pie Bar
with her husband, Tom: Beben gets
to pick her own work clothes. She
eats for free.
But some customers write bad re-
views. Clogged toilets need to be un-
plugged. Paperwork piles up.
The couple was among six Shelton
business owners who shared their ex-
periences with the Olympic Middle
School sixth-graders at an event put
together by the Shelton High School
DECA Club.
The goal was to promote entrepre-
neurship to middle-schoolers, said
Jane Mahony, the DECA advisor.
Juniors Meadow Howard and Abby
Akin, both DECA officers, organized
the exchange.
The sixth-graders were divided
into groups of seven or eight, and
guided by DECA members, rotated
through classrooms to hear presen-
tations by business owners and ask
questions for 10 minutes. Donating
their time were Richard Beckman,
owner of Richard Beckman Realty;
Gary Bauder, owner of Advanced Au-
tomotive; Amy and Forrest Cooper,
owners of Cooper Studios; Melanie
Bakala, owner of the Shelton office
of State Farm Insurance; and Eileen
Bailey, owner of EI. Kristyn & Son
Construction Inc.
Bakala told the students she
worked for a bank for 16 years before
leaving as it was failing during the
financial crisis of 2008. The Olympia
resident decided she wanted to work
for herself, and opened her insurance
office in Shelton nine years ago.
“I can look in the mirror and say
it’s all up to me,” Bakala said. She
has 12 employees at her Shelton of-
fice, and also has an office in Lacey.
The benefits include giving people
jobs they can love, and making a dif-
ference in people’s lives, Bakala said.
The challenge is balancing worka-
holic tendencies with time away from
the office, she said.
“Here’s the thing about being a
business owner: you all work much
more than eight hours a day,” she
said.
The Coopers opened their studio
10 years ago at 409 W. Railroad Ave.
“You have to love what you do and
have a drive to do that,” Forrest said.
Business owners also have to live
with the consequences of their deci-
sions, he said.
Amy told the students the couple
takes pride and gets satisfaction
from being active in the community
by volunteering and participating in
events; that’s how some customers
get to know them.
The Coopers advised the students
to stay on top of new ideas and tech-
nologies emerging in the industries
they choose. It’s important not to be-
come complacent, Amy said.
Bailey — who has owned the con-
struction company with her husband,
Tim, for 17 years — asked the sixth-
graders in one group what they want
to do when they grow up. The an-
swers: veterinarian, dentist, football
player, game tester, pizza maker and
a member of the military.
Bailey advised the students to main-
tain good credit, and to know their tar-
get audience. She also advised them to
choose a good name for their business,
saying her company is an awkward
combination of family names.
The Bebens told the students how
their career paths were winding in
different directions before they ended
up with three Shelton businesses.
Monica earned a degree in graphic
design, and Tom worked in credit, but
neither liked their jobs. When they
were both 27, they changed course
and opened a restaurant.
“Dream big and work hard,” Tom
told the students.
Maureen asked Tom what he likes
best about being a business owner.
“Not working for anyone else.” And
then he motioned toward his wife.
“Actually, I work for her.”

Tracie Dawn Hoopes, 42,
changed her initial plea to
guilty to charges of first-
degree vehicle prowling and
theft of a motor vehicle dur-
ing a hearing Monday in Ma-
son County Superior Court.
Judge Monty Cobb accept-
ed the Shelton woman’s plea
and scheduled her for a Feb.
4 sentencing hearing. In the
meantime, Hoopes is being
referred to the Mason County
Therapeutic Courts.
On the evening of Aug. 21,
the victim reported Hoopes
stole his 1999 Honda Civic
after stealing his keys from
his motor home on East state
Route 106. While the victim
on U.S. Highway 101.
Keys to the Honda were

sentenced for
DV assault
Judge Monty Cobb sen-
tenced Candace Lorraine
Beasley to 60 days in jail with
credit for time served, followed
by a year of probation for
pleading guilty to third-degree
Mason County Superior Court.
Prosecutors initially
charged the 29-year-old Lil-
liwaup woman with first-
degree assault following
her Oct. 13 arrest. Beasley
pleaded to the lesser charge
in November, and Monday
received a first-time offender
waiver from Cobb, who had
some advice for Beasley, who
is pregnant with the child
of the victim, while handing
down the sentence.
On the evening of her ar-
rest, the victim told authori-
ties Beasley became aggres-
sive during an argument and
threw a hatchet at him from
about 12 feet away, striking
him in the chest.
During her sentencing
hearing, Cobb granted vic-
tim’s request to have a court-
ordered no-contact order be-
tween the couple dissolved.
When Cobb asked if there
sentencing, she replied, “I
have nothing to add.”
Poulsbo man
faces drug
charges
A 26-year-old Poulsbo man
is facing drug possession and
drug paraphernalia charges
following his weekend arrest
in Belfair.
Judge Monty Cobb found
probable cause Monday in
Mason County Superior
Court to charge Eric John
Christianson with possession
of a controlled substance and
drug paraphernalia. Cobb
ordered Christianson, who at-
tended court via video confer-
ence from Mason County Jail,
released from custody on a
promise to appear at his Jan.
County Sheriff’s Office decla-
ration of probable cause, dep-
uties arrested Christianson
just before 1 a.m. Monday af-
ter he was reportedly spotted
by a deputy driving a 2001
Toyota pickup truck behind
a closed business on the 2400
block of northeast state Route
3 and acting suspiciously. A
deputy immediately smelled
the odor of illegal substances
when she approached the ve-
hicle and noticed burnt tinfoil
and a straw in the Toyota.
After Christianson was
apprehended, Sheriff’s Office
personnel obtained a search
warrant for the Toyota and
reportedly uncovered multiple
pieces of burnt foil commonly
used to smoke narcotics and
needles with drug residue and
a ball of suspected heroin.

Housing: Variety of stakeholders speak at housing summit

continued from page A-3
more unaffordable for those in
the workforce. Up for Growth
National Coalition Executive
Director Larry Kingsella, one
of the stakeholders Heck spoke
of, and lead policy advisor Em-
ily Grossman from the Com-
munity Services and Housing
Division of the state Depart-
ment of Commerce spoke.
Kingsella said some of the big-
gest factors included access and
displacement. As house prices
rise in an area, people who can’t
afford to live there anymore are
pushed out, and then have to
commute further every day to
work. The speakers shared how
this could be an increasing fac-
tor for areas including Mason
County as they continue to grow.
No silver bullet
Politicians across the board
joined in the conversation as
City of Shelton Mayor Bob
Rogers, Mason County Com-
missioner Kevin Shutty and
state Rep. Drew MacEwen (R-
Union) shared their thought
on balancing interests. They
highlighted the importance of
facilitating growth and work-
ing with developers, while still
maintaining financial stability.
“We have an obligation
to be good planners,” Shutty
said.
U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer
(D-Gig Harbor) also spoke to
attendees via video, urging
them to reach out for support
on legislation aimed at afford-
able housing.
“I wish that I could tell you
there was a silver bullet to
making progress on this issue,
but I think it’s more like silver
buckshot,” Kilmer said.
He said it is important for
the government to maintain
what works — such as 30-year
fixed rate mortgages — while
also exploring new ways to
spur growth.

“She taught me to be on time, bring a

ter morning, it was a guilty pleasure
to slip away from work for a couple
cups of coffee, a slab of wild mountain
blackberry pie and a bit of jawboning
with local friends and acquaintances.”
Rob Wotten wrote that after his par-
ents opened a shoe store in 1969, they
were business neighbors of Nita’s for
25 years.
“Many of the key business leaders
gathered afternoons at 3 for a raucous
game of dice to determine who would
buy everyone’s coffee,” he wrote. “It
was before Facebook, it created life-
time bonds and a tight-knit group that
wouldn’t always agree, but they had
mutual respect for one another. It was
a quintessential piece of Americana
which I’m not sure exists on small
town Main Streets today.”
Roy Dunn loved Bariekman’s ba-
nana cream pies; for Bobbie Sipes, it
was green rivers and fries on Satur-
days with girlfriends.
“She was very good to all the kids,”
wrote Barbara Wolf Lyle, who walked to
Nita’s after high school in 1968 and 1969.
Bariekman shared her story in her
book “Nita’s Cooking, Reminiscences
and Recipes,” as told to Carolyn Mad-
dux, in 2010.
She was born Nita Cleveland on
Nov. 10, 1917, the youngest of eight
children. In the first paragraph of her
book, she wrote, “Cooking, after all, is a
family thing. I never set out to become
a cook or own a restaurant, but grow-
ing up in a family where good cooking
was enjoyed and shared had always
been in the background for me.”
Bariekman graduated from Irene
S. Reed High School in 1936. In June
1941, she married Jim Bariekman,
who had been a year behind her at the
high school. During World War II, he
served with the U.S. Army, while she
worked as a secretary at Puget Sound
Naval Shipyard in Bremerton.
Then-Shelton Mayor Gary Cronce joins Nita Bariekman at her 100th
birthday celebration in November 2017 at her cafe, Nita’s Koffee Shop in
downtown Shelton. Journal file photo by Shawna Whelan
After the war ended, Jim was hired
at Simpson Timber Co.’s plywood mill
in Shelton. In 1952, Bariekman was
hired to wash dishes and do odd jobs at
the luncheon fountain Cabin in the Fir
inside Roy McConkey’s drug store on
Railroad Avenue between Second and
Third streets, now the home of Todd’s
Shoe Repair.
A few weeks into the job, owner
Vera Daily told Bariekman she had de-
cided to sell the business.
In her book, Bariekman recalled, “I
asked her how much she wanted for
it, and she said the cost of the inven-
tory. That was $250. I didn’t want to
take our savings, so I went to the bank
next door, Seattle First National — the
manager then was either Louis Winell
or Laurie Carlson — and borrowed
$250.
“It was a bold move for somebody
like me. Jim was having a fit. He told
me, ‘You’re a nervous wreck when
somebody comes to dinner!’ But I ran
that place for five years, just learning
as I went along.”
When McConkey decided to sell his
drug store in 1962, Bariekman opened
her café at its current site.
“The old sign that’s still hanging
above the restaurant says Nita’s Kof-
fee Shop,” she wrote in her book. “To be
honest, I don’t know where that name
came from. I guess somebody suggest-
ed it would be cute to spell coffee with a
K, but I can’t believe I went along with
that, and I don’t remember why I did.”
After 68 years of marriage, Jim died
in 2008. In 2016, Bariekman sold the
café to Chris Magallon, a 1996 gradu-
ate of Shelton High School. He said he
was going to keep the menu and the
staff much the same. He sold it last
year.

Inmates set record

with rare butterflies
By Dana Kampa
dana@masoncounty.com
Grow a caterpillar, and it will live
for a season; teach people through-
out the state to breed caterpillars,
and you just might save a species.
Incarcerated technicians in Bel-
fair took a big stride in the recovery
of a rare butterfly species this year
and are excited to see the reach of
their research in bringing back the
Taylor’s Checkerspot Butterfly.
Mission Creek Corrections Cen-
ter for Women facilitated a record-
high season of butterfly production
with 8,000 eggs.
The Sustainability in Prisons
Project, which facilitates these
green projects in corrections centers
throughout the state, started in the
early 2000s as a partnership be-
tween The Evergreen State College
and the Washington State Depart-
ment of Corrections.
“We have programs in all 12 of
the Washington state prisons,” said
Keegan Curry, an SPP program co-
ordinator.
The butterfly recovery program
began as a collaborative effort be-
tween the Oregon Zoo and correc-
tions centers in the Pacific North-
west. The Taylor’s Checkerspot But-
terfly, once abundant in the area’s
inland prairies west of the Cascade
Mountains, grew rare as suitable
habitat dwindled.
“There are only about eight popu-
lations in Washington, and they’re
isolated,” Curry said.
Curry said the species officially
joined the state list of endangered
ropeans,” he said, which played a
large roll in the species’ plummeting
numbers.
That’s when the zoo reached out
to partner with organizations, hop-
ing to bring the bright orange but-
terfly back from the brink of extinc-
tion. The program in Belfair started
when the first greenhouse was built
in 2011 on the facility’s grounds —
funded by the Department of De-
fense as part of an effort to help get
the butterfly off the endangered spe-
cies list — and inmates began rais-
ing butterflies the following year.
Mission Creek has five incarcer-
ated technicians responsible for the
butterflies’ care. Alexis Coleman
and Nichole Alexander are two of
the most experienced, each with
three seasons under their belts. Get-
ting involved in the program came
with a fairly steep learning curve.
In January, the caterpillars re-
main in hibernation. The insects,
smaller than a fingernail at that
stage, were nestled between layers
of paper towel in plastic containers,
each marked with the caterpillars’
origins. Some are captive-bred from
previous years, and some are wild-
caught.
Alexander said one of her great-
est fears when starting in the pro-
gram was accidentally sending the
little creatures flying when open-
ing the containers. With a deft tap
to knock any early risers off the lid,
she opened the container to show
the little black fuzz balls. When in
deep hibernation, they clump to-
gether in a small web, awaiting the
first signs of spring.

Grapeview considers condemning sought-after property

By Dana Kampa
dana@masoncounty.com
The Port of Grapeview
plans to hold a special meet-
ing “for the purpose of a Final
Action to consider condemna-
tion of two parcels,” according
to a public notice.
Both parcels belong to
Robert Bianchi and are locat-
ed near Case Inlet in Grape-
view. For several months, the
port has tried to obtain the
property either by purchase
or eminent domain. In either
case, the port is required to
fairly compensate the land-
owner.
As reported in the Dec. 27
issue of the Shelton-Mason
County Journal, the port
reached an impasse in nego-
tiations with Bianchi as it
sought to obtain the land for gin construction on the second

terracotta flower pots to shield
them from the worst of the
weather without completely
disrupting their connection to
natural temperature fluctua-
tions with the seasons.
“The more artificial these
conditions are, the more likely
we are to create unhealthy
patterns,” Curry said. “We
want them to feel like they’re
in the wild as much as pos-
sible.”
Looking at the season’s
success, Curry said the tech-
nicians can control some ele-
ments, but not everything.
“There’s always natural
factors that are beyond our
control,” he said. “So we can’t
say for sure if the things that
we did really led to this out-
come. There’s always the fac-
tor of maybe the butterflies
just having a really good year.
Maybe they were just feeling
the weather conditions.”
The checkerspot is fairly
unique in that it has a long
record of study, dating back to
the 1960s, as a model system
for population biology. Given
their very specific ranges,
citizen scientists could easily
get involved in spotting and
counting the brightly colored
butterfly.
“It has that legacy, and it’s
a butterfly that just seems to
really bring people together,”
Curry said. “The butterfly it-
self is sort of a life force. It’s
endangered, so people are try-
ing to help it, but I think about
the people when I think about
the butterfly, all the different
agencies involved.”
Curry said one of the best
parts of the program is how
incarcerated technicians can
learn from zoo staff, and share
their own research.
By the end of the year,
the technicians will log 1,500
hours of labor.
“It is kind of a back and
forth,” he said. “It’s not set in
stone how to do this. We’re all
learning about the best way to
raise butterflies.”
Several thousand caterpil-
lars will be released in Febru-
ary or March, depending on
the weather conditions, along
the South Puget Sound.
Curry said the program is
not only supporting the but-
terflies, but also the techni-
cians. He noted one alumne
of the program sought higher
education with one of SPP’s
partners, and several more
were looking at similar op-
tions.
“She was so inspired by her
work in this program that she
decided to become a student
at Evergreen after she was
released from Mission Creek,”
he said.
Alexander said she
especially appreciated how the
program allowed her to share
the knowledge she’s gained
with her daughter, one of the
local Girl Scouts who visited
Mission Creek to learn about
the life cycle of a butterfly.
Alexander and Coleman play
a large part in developing the
curriculum and worksheets
for the children, who can earn
a badge for learning about
checkerspots.
“What we do is rewarding,
and we can see a difference in
what we’re doing every single
day,” Coleman said. “This last
season, I actually saw eggs
hatching. ... It’s just super
motivating to come out and
be able to see the changes ev-
ery day, and just to know that
we’re making a difference.”

in the Tavern since they took

Now it’s getting real cold out
and the moon is high. Al Orie
chopped wood and filled up that
hole Charlie dug for water so no

to Hacketts and Fletchers back
east. In the evening we went to
the dance at Victor and we cer-
tainly had a good time. There
was a big crowd there and they
were nearly all sober and that
surely was good. Louie and Betty
took Ruth and then Ruth danced
too many times with Campbell
and they did not like it. Of course
that made Ruth feel rather funny
and asked me what I
thought. And so it goes.

A wet day and we all
had a good rest. I did a
lot of odd jobs and Sam
paid all his bills and in
the evening we went out
to the Rainbow Inn to
dinner with Alma and
Ruddy and then to the
show. The dinner was
splendid, but the show was poor
and I wished we were home so
we could talk. Home late and to

tired. We had a good meeting
and they were all there but four
of the girls. We plan a cake sale
on Saturday. Then a Skating
Party on Tuesday of next week
and the Investiture Ceremony
in February on the twenty-first.
So the calendar is quite full. We
measured all the girls for their
uniforms and some have paid
for them. We were through at
nine and then I heard Dorothy
Newkirk go through three of her
requirements for first class scout.
Home late and saw the last of the
movies of the trip and they are
lovely. Read awhile and to bed.
Tuesday, Jan. 14, 1941
Ruth missed the bus and so I
took her to town and then did all
the post office work and went to
my Dad’s and now I’m finishing
the typing. Either Ruth turned
off her alarm and did not get
up or it was as she said and the
clock stopped at three and did
not run again. Clocks do some-
times stop for no reason and it
might have been that. No meet-
ing of the Arachne Weavers this
month for Berray’s daughter has
the scarlet fever and two of the
others can’t come so we decided
to postpone it until later. With
so many away it is better for we
can’t have any fun if they are not
all there. Sam has the plan of
the new Tavern and it is a dandy
and should be a money maker if
all turns out well. Then the next
project is my house. Had a letter
from the Cady’s and they will be
home next week. We certainly
missed them.
Wednesday, Jan. 15, 1941
Another wet day and in the
early afternoon Louie and Mary
came up and I went over to Olal-
la with them. We saw Ruby and
Vera and all the children and
had a fine time. They had been
over to the Harbor and brought
home a frozen hen, strawberries,
cherries and some green beans.
These we had for dinner and
they were delicious. We played
penny-ante poker for matches for
four hours and then ate dinner.
In the evening the folks came
over and we did a lot of talking
and laughing. Home late and to
bed.

from the office by Washington State Auditor Pat
McCarthy. That report, dated Feb. 28, 2017, agrees
with the findings of the district’s investigation.
The initial loss reported to the state auditor’s of-
fice totaled $5,216.76 during the period of July 2011
through June 2016 through the use of unearned paid
time off, payroll deductions and adjustments made
to Carow’s utility account.
The report concurs with the district’s internal in-
vestigation, which made the following accusations:
n Between May 2014 and April 2016, Carow
increased her paid time off leave balance by 98.35
hours, resulting in PUD 1 paying Carow in $3,296.63
in unearned compensation.
n Carow was responsible for ensuring deductions
withheld from paychecks agreed with utility pay-
ments credited to her personal utility account. The
district’s investigation determined that from July
2011 through June 2016, $1,920.40 was credited to
Carow’s personal utility account without deductions
from her paycheck.
n From January 2007 through June 2016, PUD 1
reported additional losses of $4,900.41. Carow over-
saw supplements to personal insurance premiums
via PUD 1 payroll deductions. During that period,
PUD 1 reportedly paid $4,144.65 in life insurance
premiums for Carow. However, those funds were
never deducted from Carow’s pay. She’s additionally
accused of overriding nine meter readings from her
personal utility account between March 2012 and
April 2016, resulting in a loss of $755.76 to PUD 1
for electricity consumption Carow did not pay for.
The state auditor’s report concludes Carow “had
full administrator access to the accounting system
with minimal oversight,” and recommends seeking
the recovery of $10,117.17 in misappropriated funds
and investigation costs totaling $8,331.51.
Masteller told the Journal that in lieu of termina-
tion, Carow retired from PUD 1 in June 2016.
“As soon as we were alerted to the possible dis-
crepancies, she (Carow) was put on paid administra-
tive leave while we conducted our internal investiga-
tion,” Masteller said. “As soon as we verified what
we’d suspected, we contacted the state auditor’s of-
fice immediately.”
Willard began his investigation in June 2016 with
on-site meetings with PUD 1 administration at the
utility’s Potlatch office, and initially interviewed
Carow in late June 2017.
During that interview, Carow reportedly told
investigators her payroll and paid time off adjust-
ments were the result of “training errors.” How-
ever, the Sheriff’s Office report states Carow’s alibi
is “firmly disputed” in an email from the software
management firm hired to work with PUD 1 on its
software system.
That email reportedly concluded that emails sup-
plied by Carow in support of her alibi were altered to
appear as if they were sent from the software com-
pany, which was not the case. Several unsuccessful
attempts to alter those emails were reportedly dis-
covered in Carow’s deleted emails file.

I
admit it.
I’m a hater.
When it comes to college athletics,
there might not be a program that is more of a
lightning rod for disdain that the Nick Saban-
coached Alabama Crimson Tide.
The Tide win. Often.
Under Saban, Alabama
has rolled up a 146-21 over-
all record in the past 12
seasons. The team has won
the five national champion-
ships in that span.
In short, Alabama is the
gold standard by which all
other major college football
teams are judged.

Far Post: Alabama loss a delightful end to 2018 season

continued from page B-1
Clemson scored two touchdowns
and added a field goal to lead 31-16
at halftime, and tacked on two more
touchdowns – including a highlight-
reel 74-yard pass play – in the third
quarter en route to winning the
team’s second national title in the
past three years.
The best part?
Watching Saban get smoked on col-
lege football’s biggest stage.
It’s hard to point a finger at a spe-
cific reason that I dislike Saban.
Maybe it’s the smug sense of being
better than everyone else that oozes out
every time I see an interview with him.
Or it could be that I’m just tired of
hearing about Alabama.
Or perhaps it could just be South-
eastern Conference fatigue, as we’re
bombarded all year long about the
SEC being all that matters in college
football.
I grew up a fan of two teams, the
University of Utah and my hometown
Weber State Wildcats.
I remember vividly watching Utah,
during its undefeated season of 2008,
blasting Saban’s Tide 31-17 in the
Sugar Bowl after jumping out to a
21-point lead.
In fact, prior to Alabama’s loss to
Clemson, that 14-point Utes’ victory
was tied for the biggest setback Saban
suffered in Tuscaloosa.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, it’s time
to move on to the NFL playoffs, where
you’ll find me rooting against New
England.
After all, Patriots coach Bill Belich-
ick, who served as Saban’s boss in
Cleveland for four years in the early
1990s, just wins too damn much.

Shelton grapplers pin down win over Aberdeen

By Justin Johnson
justin@masoncounty.com
Mindset matters.
Fueled by an aggressive start and
a boisterous crowd, the Shelton High
School boys and girls wrestling teams
earned decisive victories over Aber-
deen on Jan. 3 at the Shelton Mini-
Dome.
“I think the tone for the night was
set in the very first match,” Shelton
boys wrestling coach Chris Lacy said.
“Kayla Fleshman (from the High-
climbers’ girls wrestling team) wres-
tled an exhibition match and was ag-
gressive in the first period. Everyone
else followed this mindset the rest of
the night.”
The Shelton girls team opened the
night with a 24-18 victory over visiting
Aberdeen, winning the dual with pins
in the final two matches to come from
behind for the victory.
The boys team kept the momentum
going when the Climbers’ 182-pound
entrant, Trevor Meier, pinned the
Bobcats’ Nick Davis in just 88 seconds.
“Trevor got us off to a great start,”
Lacy said. “Ty Lacy, a freshman at
195, came from behind to earn a fall
in one of the biggest matches of the
night, and Ammon Anderson went up
a weight class and continued his domi-
nant season.
“These matches got the crowd into
it and our wrestlers put on an exciting
show.”
Shelton’s boys team commanded
the mat, winning 9-of-10 matches
wrestled. Aberdeen earned 24 points
on forfeits, with the Climbers not hav-
ing wrestlers at 106, 113, 120 and 285
pounds, and scored just five points
otherwise on a technical fall at 152.
The most exciting show of the night
came in final match at 170 pounds,
when Shelton’s Michael Gilman took
on Aberdeen’s Seth Brown.
The match went the distance, with
Gilman winning the decision 10-8 af-
ter a dramatic late reversal broke an
8-8 tie in the third period, setting off
a loud and raucous cheer from the
crowd.
“Michael Gilman’s victory in the
last match of the night was a fitting
end to the dual meet,” Coach Lacy
said. “We had a great crowd and they
got to witness an exciting match that
came down to the third period.
“Last year, Michael wrestled the
same opponent at Aberdeen and lost
12-9. This year, he remained poised
and confident. He used a little creativ-
ity to earn his last reversal for the 10-8
win and the crowd rewarded him with
one of the loudest cheers I have heard
in the Mini-Dome.”
Coach Lacy also pointed to Caleb
Bautista-Brown’s victory at 160, a
99-second pin of Aberdeen’s Koby Fall,
as a huge victory for the Climbers.
“Giving up four forfeits means the
remaining 10 wrestlers have to be
near perfect,” Lacy said.
Another area the Climbers shined
against the Bobcats was in the third
period. Cameron MacAlevy, Robbie
Allred and Ty Lacy all had third-period
pins, while Gilman and Anderson won
decisions with decisive third-period
performances.
“Third period and overtime pins
may be the most impressive of all vic-
tories,” Chris Lacy said. “Usually this
means that the two competitors are
evenly matched, but one has a stron-
ger will to win.
“For the season, the third period
has been a strength. Our combined
third period score is 245-144. This
is only possible when wrestlers are
confident in their conditioning and
skill.”
In the girls varsity dual meet, all
seven matches were decided by fall.
Shelton’s Miracle Horne (120 pounds),
Ne’a Moffett (130), Marrissa Thom-
as (145) and Claudia Ramirez (145)
each earned the full six points for the
Climbers.
“It was a great night for the High-
climbers,” Shelton girls coach Rodgar
Garrick said. “We wrestled great all
night long and I could not be more
proud of our efforts.”
Moffett’s win at 130 was a hard-
fought battle that went into the second
period before she pinned her opponent,
Annie Boyle, at 2:25.
Horne, Thomas and Ramirez
earned pins at 1:35, 1:05 and 1:12, re-
spectively.

Hot Corner: No one notices the kicker, until they fail

said, according to ESPN.com.
“I feel terrible. I let the team
down. That’s on me. I have
to own it. I have to be a man.
Unfortunately, that’s the way
it went today.”
But don’t feel too bad
for Parkey. His guaranteed
contract with the Bears will
pay him more than $3 mil-
lion in 2019, though he’ll
surely be cut. I don’t think
many of us would fall into
deep depression if our jobs
paid us $3 million not to
come to work.
A little closer to home, Se-
attle Seahawks fans watched
Jan. 5 as 40-year-old kicker
Sebastian Janikowski ap-
peared to suffer a debilitat-
ing left (kicking) hamstring
injury on a missed 57-yard
field goal attempt at the end
of the first half of the Hawks’
playoff battle at Dallas. In
the days since, Seattle head
coach Pete Carroll admit-
ted that without the services
of a placekicker, his team’s
strategy was altered for the
second half of the Hawks’ 24-
22 defeat.
“Absolutely we had to
change (our thinking),’’ Car-
roll told the Seattle Times.
“We were in a different mode.
And we were still ready to
kick a field goal if we had to,
but we were going to do what
we could to avoid that and
not make that the issue, and
the guys just responded.”
With little faith in punter
Michael Dickson to handle
placekicking duties, the
Hawks went for 2-point con-
versions following both their
touchdowns in the second half.
Dickson’s ill-fated onside kick
attempt — and Australian-
style dropkick — with 1:18
to play and Seattle down just
two points floated gently into
the arms of Cowboys wide re-
ceiver Cole Beasley, essential-
ly ending the Hawks’ season.
Placekickers are kind of
like referees or umpires in
that you rarely ever notice
them until they fail. But
when they do the wrath of the
irritated sports fans comes
down like an anvil on Wile E.
Coyote.
The recent high-profile
struggles of placekickers de-
mand we ask ourselves this
question: After 60 minutes of
300-pound bruisers bashing
their bodies against each oth-
er play after play, should the
playoff fate of an NFL team
be left on the shoulders (or
the foot) of a placekicker?
It’s a debate that’s raged
for years, but has resulted in
little change. Placekicking is
part of the beauty and majes-
ty of the game of football. For
each Cody Parkey out there, I
counter with legends such as
46-year-old Adam Vinatieri,
who tied and won the “Tuck
Rule Game” for the New
England Patriots by kicking
accurately in a blizzard, and
has kicked two Super Bowl
game-winners.
Football fans are gener-
ally quick to ordain someone
as the greatest thing since
the invention of the wheel
when a player shows promise.
They’re even quicker when
it comes to vilifying those
that don’t cut it, no matter
the position they play. In the
end, like it or not, kickers are
a very real part of the game
and they aren’t going away.

Free-throw shooting dooms Shelton boys vs. Capital

By Justin Johnson
justin@masoncounty.com
The Shelton High School boys bas-
ketball team offered up no excuses.
It simply got beat.
Despite a team-high 17 points from
Ty Thompson, the Highclimbers fell
66-52 to Capital on Jan. 4 at the Mini-
Dome in Shelton.
“Capital is a good team; They’ve got
good players,” Shelton coach Derrick
Pringle said. “We knew from film what
they were going to do. I was proud of
our players for the way they battled
back. That showed heart.”
Capital opened with a blitz that
ended with the Cougars taking a 23-8
lead at the end of the first quarter.
That lead would eventually swelled to
20 points in the second frame.
Shelton dug in defensively in the
second quarter as senior guard and
team captain Jason Kenyon scored
seven points to key a 16-2 surge at the
end of the half that cut the deficit to
eight at halftime.
The Highclimbers had a chance to
cut into things even further to start
the third quarter, but missed layups
and free-throws allowed the Cougars
to build their lead back to double dig-
its, where it remained.
“Free throws are our weakness,”
Pringle said. “We’re probably shoot-
ing about 40 percent for the season.
We keep working on them, but it is our
weakness.”
Shelton missed 10 free throws
against Capital, and while that
wouldn’t have been enough to over-
come the final 14-point difference,
some of those misses came at critical
times.
One such sequence came in the third
quarter, with the Climbers down 10
and at the line with a chance to cut the
deficit to eight again.
Instead, they missed both free
throws and Capital scored quickly on

“(Kaylee) went from a
150-something last year bowling
average to now she’s one of the
top three or four in the whole
league,” Gagnon said. “A lot of
people can bowl, but can they
bowl under stress? Can they bowl
under pressure? Starting last
year, we really worked on the
mind game. She’d get really hard
on herself in the past.
“Any athlete, when they get
frustrated, usually their game
will fall apart. She’s learned to
have a short-term memory. If
she doesn’t pick up a spare, oh
well. She’s confident now that
she’ll come back on the next roll
and probably get a strike. The
technique is really important, for
sure, but at this level it’s up here
too (Gagnon pointed to his head).
It’s the mental part.”

Sometimes you’ve just gotta win
ugly.
Freshman guard Jillian Maiuri in-
tercepted a home-run inbounds pass
with three seconds remaining and the
North Mason girls basketball team
squeaked out a nail-biting 41-40 non-
conference win over Forks on Jan. 5 at
North Mason High School.
Maiuri’s defensive heroics came af-
ter sophomore forward Natalie Young
hit a pull-up jumper just outside the
key in the final minute to give the
Bulldogs the lead.
“We had a great game from our
freshmen; they really helped us in the
second half,” Bulldogs’ coach James
Getty said. “We were very tired from
playing the fifth-place team in the
state – Port Angeles – the night be-
fore, and then played early, thus a
very slow start.”
A frigid start was an accurate de-
scriptor for the opening quarter as
North Mason fell behind 7-2 and
trailed 10-6 after the first eight min-
utes of play.
While the Bulldogs (8-5 overall, 1-4
Olympic League) were struggling of-
fensively, they still found a way to get
things done on the defensive end of the
floor, and in doing so kept themselves
in the game.
“At halftime, we went over offen-

Getty also credited freshmen Aba-
