Illegal messages between mayor, commissioner
Commissioners discussed city issues on Facebook Messenger
By GORDON WEEKS

Mayor Gary Cronce and fellow Shel-
ton City Commissioner Kathy McDow-
ell illegally communicated on dozens
of occasions using their personal Face-
book Messenger accounts, discussing
their views on city permit fees, the wa-
ter supply, distrust toward city staff
members and the media.

A new high school in Central Mason?
Hood Canal, Pioneer school
districts to run bonds
By GORDON WEEKS
gordon@masoncounty.com
In February, voters in the Pioneer
and Hood Canal school districts will
vote on separate $30 million build-
ing bonds to cooperatively build a
new high school in central Mason
County.
The school boards from each dis-
trict at a joint meeting Nov. 9 voted
unanimously to put the measure
before voters on the Feb. 13 ballot.
Each district will present a building
bond, which will need a 60 percent

SHELTON-MASON COUNTY
Jason “Dangercup” Coots, a lifelong
Shelton resident, filed a public records
request with the City of Shelton asking
for the Facebook Messenger conversa-
tions between the three commission-
ers. He said he suspected Cronce and
McDowell were illegally discussing
city issues away from official meet-
ings. Two members of the commission
— which voters opted to change to a
seven-member city council last week —
“super majority” to pass.
Both districts teach students in
kindergarten through eighth grade.
Most of their students then attend
Shelton High School, with the dis-
tricts paying “non-high” fees to the
Shelton School District. Both school
boards have expressed frustration
that they are helping to pay for
Shelton School District’s $65 million
building bond without representa-
tion on the Shelton School Board.
The two districts are envisioning
a 100,000-square-foot building that
would cost between $60 million and
$70 million. It would be built for 750
students, and start with a projected
enrollment of about 550 students.

Hood Canal School District.
The districts are talking to a
landowner about purchasing 40 to
50 acres south of Cranberry Lake,
near the border between the two
districts.
With an initial enrollment of 550,
the school would be 203rd in size
among 384 Washington schools that
compete in interscholastic sports.
That would make it a large Class 1A
school. The school’s athletes would
compete in the Evergreen Athletic
Conference against Elma, Forks, Ho-
quiam, Montesano and Tenino.

fires officers
County prosecutor Dorcy: No
criminal charges have been filed
By MICHAEL HEINBACH
michael@masoncounty.com
Two men with a combined 25 years of
service were fired effective Nov. 6 by the
Shelton Police Department for what Chief
Darrin Moody says were “several violations
of Shelton Police Department policies.”
Just hours after the
termination of former of-
ficers Matt Dickinson and
Justin Doherty was an-
nounced Monday morn-
ing by Moody, the office
of Michael Dorcy, Mason
County prosecuting attor-
ney, released a nine-page
document that detailed
reasons Dorcy declined Dickinson
to seek second-degree
assault charges against
Dickinson and Doherty
following a more than
four-month investigation
conducted by the prosecu-
tor’s office.
“Nothing in this letter
is intended to convey any
opinion from my office
with respect to the wis- Doherty
dom of certain tactical or
strategic decisions made by Officer Doherty
or Officer Dickinson during this contact or
possible violations of Shelton Police Depart-
ment policies,” Dorcy’s document stated.
“However, it is our considered opinion that
the burden of proof cannot be met to sustain
criminal assault charges beyond all reason-
able doubt in court, and it is therefore my
decision not to file criminal assault charges
against Justin Doherty or Matt Dickinson
for their actions arising out of this contact.”
The firing of Dickinson and Doherty
stems from a Shelton Police internal inves-
tigation of an incident this spring in down-
town Shelton. Shortly before 2 a.m. on May
25, a 24-year-old man sleeping on a pri-
vate property was arrested on suspicion of
two counts of third-degree assault and one

that “no elected official nor
any employee of his or her of-

to or employed by any public
agency may use or authorize
the use of the facilities of a

ly or indirectly, for the pur-

40 et 8, Journal not collecting donations for food basket program

STAFF REPORT
news@masoncounty.com
The annual 40 et 8 / Shel-
ton-Mason County Journal
food basket program has been
canceled.
The event, which each year
raised tens of thousands of
dollars in donations to pro-
vide Mason County families in
need with holiday meals, will
not continue this winter, said
organizer Gene Strozyk.
Strozyk said he’d like to
thank all of the local residents
who donated to the cause each
year.
The event each year coin-
cided with the annual Toys for
Kids Plus event, which pro-
vided a shopping day for toys.
Neither event will take place
this year, Strozyk said.
Donations will not be ac-
cepted at the Journal office,
but donations can be made to
a variety of causes in Mason
County, Journal editor-in-
chief Adam Rudnick said.
For more information
about the cancellation, call

That led to the lawsuit
against the Shelton City

Mason County Superior

ing that the two propositions
conflicted with state law. The
cases in Sequim and Chelan
were dismissed as well.
The state Attorney Gen-
eral’s office then filed a com-
plaint against the Freedom
Foundation, saying the group

laws to support the bal-
lot propositions in the three

laws.”
In May 2016, Thurston
County Superior Court Judge
Gary Tabor dismissed the
state Attorney General’s law-
suit. Last week, the state
Court of Appeals overturned
that decision.
That court wrote, “The
Foundation’s interpretation of
(the relevant statute) would
lead to an absurd result.”
“As the State points out,
adopting the Foundation’s
position would create a large
loophole in the (Fair Cam-
paign Practice Act’s) report-
ing requirements. The public
would be precluded from re-
ceiving information regarding
the financing of local initia-
tives at the most crucial time
— when signatures in support
of the initiatives are being col-
lected. On the other hand, the
State’s position is consistent
with the primary purpose of
the FCPA — to fully disclose
to the public political cam-
paign contributions and ex-
penditures.”
In an email response to
questions from the Journal,
Jeff Rhodes, the Freedom
Foundation’s managing edi-
tor, wrote, “It’s laughable that
Ferguson characterizes this
as a triumph for open gov-
ernment when the Freedom
Foundation at no time tried
to conceal its involvement,
nor has anyone suggested
otherwise. He also claims
this somehow makes the elec-
tions process more transpar-
ent when, in fact, no election
was ever held. And that’s the
whole point.”
He added, “The Freedom
Foundation offered pro bono
legal representation to resi-
dents in several communities
who submitted the correct
number of valid petitions,
requesting two measures be
included on the local elec-
tion ballot. The city councils
in each case denied the vot-
ers a say on the issues and,
thus, invalidated the whole
principle of citizen initiatives.
The Freedom Foundation of-
fered to help because the city
has the unlimited resources
of the taxpayers to draw on
for its defense, while the resi-
dents could not have afforded
a legal challenge without as-
sistance.”
The Freedom Foundation
will “fight on,” Rhodes said.
“This is nothing but a quid
pro quo because of all the suc-
cessful PDC complaints the
Freedom Foundation has filed
against Bob Ferguson’s union
friends,” he said.
He added, “But unlike
the union front groups we’ve
caught red-handed misreport-
ing millions of dollars of dol-
lars in campaign donations,
the Freedom Foundation has
no intention of settling any-
thing. This case involved a
few thousand dollars’ worth of
pro bono legal work performed
after the election in question
had been negated, and we’re
not going to be bullied by a
politically motivated attorney
general or the unions pulling
his strings.”

Growth Area, which was
adopted by Mason County,
the minimum size lot for
commercial use will be 9,600
square feet. Our lot is 8,800
square feet. Even after this
information was given to the
county assessor, when we
received our new tax notice
for the 2018 assessment, the
Mason County Assessor’s Of-
fice had increased the assess-
ment from what the Board of
Equalization granted us for
2017 and increased the as-
sessment back to its original
assessment for 2017. We have
appealed this increase to the
BOE again, and will face at
least another hearing.
In the Oct. 19 issue of the
Shelton-Mason County Jour-
nal, there was a letter from
Bob Van Slyke that was quite
interesting. Mr. Van Slyke
stated that the response he
received for questions and
documents to back up cer-
tain Assessor’s Office claims
and procedures, stated that
the responding assessors felt
“harassed” by these pointed
requests. The assessors feel
harassed to provide answers
and documents to back up their
assessments? We, the citizens
who are trying to get fair
evaluations on our properties,
are the ones who are feeling
harassed. The amount of time
and documentation we have
submitted to try and get our
assessment to a fair market
value on our lots is substantial.
In the second paragraph
on the “Assessor’s Notice of
Value” form, sent out once a
year, it states that “Wash-
ington State County Asses-
sors appraise property at
100 percent of true and fair
market value.” If this were a
true statement, we would not
have a problem with it. In the
case of our property, we have
recent appraisals from the
major real estate company in
Allyn for 2016 and 2017. Can
the Mason County assessors
(most don’t even live in the
area) be more in tune with
property values in Allyn than
a real estate professional who
has worked in this community
for 25-plus years, and has
completed hundreds of trans-
actions, both residential and
commercial? A “true and fair
market value” is that value
which the property would re-
alistically sell for.
Through the Mason County
website, I have researched all
land value assessments for all
lots along the business area
of state Route 3 in Allyn and
there seems to be no consis-
tency. In fact, a couple of land
values that have state Route 3
frontage, as well as waterfront
frontage, are the lowest land
assessed values in this area.
It doesn’t make sense. It also
doesn’t make sense that as
property owners, we cannot
use other property assess-
ments in the area, and similar
properties, as an argument to
come to a “true and fair” mar-
ket value.
I am hoping that others
who have not sent letters to
the editor or have not ques-
tioned their assessed values
will now speak up. Now is
the time to get things right.
I don’t believe that anything
will change unless others
speak out. I’m glad we did.

Editor, the Journal
Two weeks ago, I received
an email from Amber Cer-
vantes, assessor’s office depu-
ty assessor. Her email was in
response to my notice to the
county attorney and commis-
sioners that the assessor’s of-
fice was not responsive to my
records request. Her email is
below:
“You state that four of the
attachments only contained
a cover page. That is not ac-
curate. Perhaps you do not
understand how to access the
emails.
“When you open the docu-
ment, there is a list of dates in
the top left-hand corner. Each
of those dates correspond to
a potentially responsive email.
“Double click on the date
and the email will appear.
Once the email is open, at the
top of the email, there will be
a section called, Attachments:
and there will be a link (in
red) to open and/or save the
attachments.
“Please discontinue your
false accusations that we have
not provided you with all of
the documents responsive to
your original request.”
What Cervantes failed to
mention (even though she
goes into a lot of detail on how
to access the emails) is that
this only works if you have

open it up with anything else,
you only get the cover sheet.
It took me some time to figure
this out and I do not mind
buying the program. But if
you are going to provide direc-
tions on how to use something
perhaps you should first make
sure they are complete.
Oh well, I guess just an-
other assessor “oversight;”

To her statement to “discon-
tinue your false accusations”
— I guess I would have to say
if you do not provide the key
(program that must be bought
and used) to unlock the docu-
ments have you really pro-
vided them?
In conclusion, I am writing
these letters to get answers
to my questions — raised
months ago —specifically:

are the root causes of the
breakdown in process and er-
rors on the original Benson

cess and “oversights”?
These are the questions
that were originally raised
months ago and remain unan-
swered by the Assessor and/or
the Department of Revenue. It
is time for the politicians and
bureaucrats to address these
issues to the taxpayers of Ma-
son County.

A moral
obligation

housing
Editor, the Journal
Housing is a human right
and a public health issue.
Many of our homeless people
are suffering during this cold
and rainy season. In this rural
community, some house them-
selves in their tents facing the
fear of their possessions and
themselves being removed at
any time by authorities. Some
do receive checks, but the
amount is so small they can’t
afford rent. Still others “couch
surf” or find a place to live
with no heat.
Our opportunity is right
here in Shelton to open our
hearts and start questioning
our community leaders to ad-
dress affordable housing for
everyone.

Clarification
on Community
Lifeline shelter
Editor, the Journal
Speaking as a member
of the Community Lifeline
Board of Directors, I want to
clarify a recent report about
Community Lifeline in this
newspaper. Last month, the
Conditional Use Permit from
the City of Shelton under
which we operate a shelter
was amended after a formal
hearing.
The original permit allowed
us to open the shelter during
cold winter months when the
temperature was forecast to
be at or below 32 degrees. The
amended permit allows us to
operate during the months
from November through April
and the executive director has
discretion to open based on a
combination of temperature,
wind and precipitation. The
amended permit also allows
operation for a period of 90
continuous nights within that
six-month period without con-
sideration of weather condi-
tions.
In closing, I want to offer
sincere thanks to the many
generous people who donated
money so that we could pur-
chase the old Masonic Hall,
where we offer cold-weather
shelter and other vital servic-
es to our needy fellow citizens.

New Lions Club launches in Shelton

4th chapter established
in Mason County
By GORDON WEEKS
gordon@masoncounty.com
Shelton has a new Lions Club.
About 20 charter members on Nov.
2 officially established the new Shelton
Centennial Lions Club at the Shelton
School District headquarters.
Jan Weatherly, the district gover-
nor for Lions Clubs International, said
Shelton used to have two Lions clubs.
Currently, the service club has chap-
ters in Belfair, Hoodsport and Union.
The charter members debated sever-
al names — including the Shelton Ma-
son Area Centennial Lions Club and
Shelton Area Centennial Lions Club —
before choosing the Shelton Centennial
Lions Club. The group gets to use the
name centennial because Lions Clubs
International is celebrating its 100th
anniversary.
The 20 charter members also elect-
ed leaders. Mignon Bourgeois is the
group’s first president, and Kathy Geist

will serve as secretary, Jenny LaFreni-
er as treasurer and Amber Hosford as
the membership chairwoman.
Weatherly said the Lions Club is
the largest service organization in the
world, with members in 201 countries.
“You have a lot of power behind
you, a lot of resources behind you,”
she said.
Ronnie Martin, a Lions Club special-
ist in establishing new clubs who vis-
ited from Texas, said the Lions Club is
the only service club that continues to
grow. He said he has helped establish
176 new clubs in the past four years.
“There are no politics in Lion, and
no religion,” Martin said.
That’s one of the reasons the Lions
Club is the only service organization in
China, he said, adding that the group
is trying to establish clubs in Vietnam
and Cuba.
Weatherly said Shelton School Dis-
trict Superintendent Alex Apostle
joined the group because he sees the po-
tential for the club to help local youths.
“We have to work upstream. …
There are a lot of families that are bro-
ken in this town,” she said.
Martin said the Lions Club is fo-
cusing less on meetings and more on
partnering with other groups and busi-
nesses to help people. The groups no
longer host food fundraisers, so instead
of offering competition to local eater-
ies, they partner with local restaurants
to raise money, he said. Roosters res-
taurant and McDonald’s have already
agreed to team with the new group, he
said.
Anyone interested in joining the new
group can contact Weatherly at 360-
484-4277 or jan.weatherly@aol.com.

Lawyer: Shallow high school pool poses a risk

By GORDON WEEKS
AND ALEXANDRA SMITH
news@masoncounty.com
The Shelton School District
is examining the liability of
Shelton High School athletes
diving in a pool that is less than
4 feet deep.
The Shelton School Board
met in a special session Tues-
day to hear advice from attor-
ney Lance Andree. The par-
ent of a Shelton High School
student contacted the district
asking about students signing
a waiver that they understand
the risk of diving into the pool.
That inquiry prompted the
district to contact its insurance
company, which recommended
the district contact its lawyers.
Andree told the board mem-
bers he is not an expert in
aquatic safety, but a lawyer
looking at the issue of risk and
liability. He said studies he
read show a pool less than 4 feet
deep poses safety issues. Head
and neck injuries can be signifi-
cant, he said.
“There is a higher risk of li-
ability because the standard of
care is a deeper pool,” he said.
Andree pointed out that the
waivers signed by students do
not protect the district from li-
ability in the event of an injury.
The board instructed Andree
to talk to the swim and diving
coaches at the high school and
come back with a recommenda-
tion.
Superintendent Alex Apostle
said “the ultimate solution is
deepening the pool.” The dis-
trict might get a state funding
match to help pay for it, he said.

$60K warrant out for

man accused of rape
By MICHAEL HEINBACH
michael@masoncounty.com
A $60,000 warrant for the arrest of
accused rapist Anthony J. Budd was
issued Monday morning by Judge Am-
ber Finlay in Mason County Superior
Court in Shelton.
The 30-year-old Hoodsport man
was scheduled to appear for an om-
nibus hearing regarding a charge of
second-degree rape concerning an al-
leged incident Sept. 20 on U.S. Forest
Service Road 24. However, less than a
week after his arraignment on the rape
charge in Mason County, Budd was ar-
rested Oct. 13 as part of a multi-agency

old girl. Court papers state Budd of-
fered “protection, clothing and the ma-
jority of the money” to two people he
believed to be 13- and 14-year-old girls
if they agreed to “be mine.”
Budd also reportedly gave instruc-
tions to the supposed minors on how
to post solicitation ads on Craigslist,
then arranged a meeting for sex with
the two girls at an undisclosed Kitsap
County location. Budd was arrested
at the meeting place and court papers
state that at the time of Budd’s arrest
he was in possession of a condom and
$62 cash.
Budd is being held in Kitsap County
on charges of commercial sex abuse of

He’s been in custody of Kitsap County
Jail on $100,000 bail since his arrest
and was not transported to Mason
County for his Monday omnibus hear-
ing. That led to his warrant in Mason
County for failure to appear.
Budd was arraigned Oct. 9 in Mason
County and released later that day af-
ter paying $30,000 bond through a bail
bond company.
According to Kitsap County court
documents, four days later, Budd re-
sponded to a Craigslist ad posted by an
and communication with a minor for
immoral purposes.
According to an online reporting
portal, Budd was scheduled to appear
Tuesday in Kitsap County Court. How-
ever, information on those proceedings
were unavailable as of the Journal’s
deadline.
Budd’s Kitsap County case is slated
to go to trial Dec. 4 following a status
conference on Tuesday.
In Mason County, Budd is scheduled
for a pretrial management hearing
Dec. 4. His Mason County rape trial is
scheduled for Dec. 19.

Redneck Tenors: A musical act not to be taken seriously

Group to perform in
Shelton on Friday
BY DANA KAMPA
dana@masoncounty.com

For the second install-

ment this season of the Mason
County Concert Association’s
Live On Stage performances,
the 3 Redneck Tenors will be
performing Friday at the Shel-
ton High School Performing
Arts Center.
The act originated when
Matthew Lord, creator and
producer of the 3 Redneck Ten-
ors, helped organize a benefit
at the children’s Ohlook Per-
forming Arts Center in Grape-
vine, Texas. At the time, Lord
was working with the New
York Metropolitan Opera.
“Originally it was just a
goofy show that was just sup-
posed to make everybody
laugh and have good music,”
Lord said.
Among the audience mem-
bers was a talent agent who
saw potential in the act. In
2006, Lord, Blake Davidson
and Jonathan Frugé went on
to officially form the 3 Redneck Courtesy photo

Residents want Ring of Honor/Hall of Fame at high school

By GORDON WEEKS
gordon@masoncounty.com
Who likes the sound of Shel-
ton High School’s Jack Stark
Stadium? Does the Rich Un-
terseher Gymnasium properly
honor a beloved mentor?
Those are the two names
mentioned most often in a Shel-
ton School District survey con-
ducted from August through
October by the district’s nam-
ing committee.
Jacquie MacAlevy, the dis-
trict’s communications special-
ist, on Tuesday night presented
the results of the survey to the
Shelton School District Board of
Directors. Stark, who coached
the football team from 1969 to
1993 and won state champion-
ships in 1974 and 1985, was
mentioned 44 times. Unterseh-
er was mentioned 16 times.
The district in the summer
of 2015 formed a citizen’s com-
mittee to create a policy on the
naming of the district’s stadi-
ums and fields, in particular
the proposal to name the high
school’s football field after
Stark.
Jeff Green, a former Jour-
nal reporter, suggested the
honor at a board meeting in
July 2015. Green told the board
he received lots of feedback on
the proposal, include a flood of
opinions on the Facebook site
“You might be from Shelton if
…“
Fifty-four of the comments
favored naming the facility af-
Former Shelton High School football coach Jack Stark shakes hands at a 2015 reunion with
Casey Bingham, who played center on Stark’s 1985 state championship team. In a survey
conducted by the Shelton School District, 44 people recommended naming a district facility
after Stark.
ter Stark, 16 against, Green
said.
“If that were a football score,
54-16 would pretty much be a
rout,” he said.
Two of Stark’s former play-
ers, Mark Tuson and Mason
County Sheriff Casey Salis-
bury, also urged the board to
name the stadium after the for-
mer coach.
Then-School Board Presi-
dent Brenda Hirschi asked Su-
perintendent Alex Apostle to
form the citizen’s committee to
examine the policy on naming
facilities, and to offer a recom-
mendation on naming the sta-
dium after Stark.
In November 2015, the board
approved a new policy on nam-
ing the district’s buildings,
stadiums, fields and facilities.
The board is responsible for
Journal file photo by Gordon Weeks
the final approval of naming or
changing names of all facilities
that belong to the district. At
that time, Apostle said he be-
lieved a Ring of Honor/Hall of
Fame could by in place by 2016.
On Tuesday evening, MacA-
levy told the board the commit-
tee met on Oct. 17 to discuss
the survey results. Eighty-one
percent of the respondents said
they favor establishing a Ring
of Honor/Hall of Fame, and 72
percent say they favor nam-
ing facilities. The group voted
unanimously to recommend
creating the Ring of Honor/Hall
of Fame and to develop criteria
to pick honorees, she said.
More than 150 people offered
opinions on the naming of facili-
ties.
Some recommended naming
facilities after organizations
that would donate money to
improve them. Others recom-
mended that the public vote on
the names.
Several warned against
naming them after individuals.
“Disgraceful behavior may
be revealed sometime in the
future because people are fal-
lible,” one respondent wrote.
The suggestions for naming
the football stadium and the
Mini-Dome included Paul Bu-
nyan, Squaxin or Skokomish
tribal names, Mount Ellinor,
Mount Rose, Olympic and Is-
land Lake.
“Nominees should be indi-
viduals who have demonstrated
leadership in empowerment
of students to be well rounded
and good citizens through not
only sports, but music, theater,
writing and literature,” wrote
one respondent.
“As long as there isn’t a
building named after Donald
Trump, I strongly support the
idea,” wrote another.
“Don’t name everything af-
ter white men,” said one re-
spondent.

count each of resisting arrest,
obstructing a law enforcement
officer and second-degree crimi-
nal trespassing.
The man arrested, now 25,
was exonerated of wrongdo-
ing a day before his scheduled
arraignment July 6 in Mason
County Superior Court, but pri-
or to being booked into Mason
County Jail, he was transported
to Mason General Hospital &
Family of Clinics and report-
edly treated for multiple broken
bones in his face. According to
police reports, the man told in-
vestigators he was continuing
to seek treatment for a brain
injury sustained during his ap-
prehension by Dickinson and
Doherty.
Due to the severity of the
man’s injuries and to clear the
Shelton P.D. of potential con-
flict, within 48 hours of the
man’s arrest, Moody called for
an independent, outside inves-
tigation conducted by the Thur-
ston County Sheriff’s Office.
That investigation, steered by
TCSO Lead Investigator Mitch
King and released to the public
July 19, concluded that Dickin-
son and Doherty used excessive
force in the apprehension of the
man and recommended both
officers be charged with sec-
ond-degree assault. Dickinson,
with 10 years on the force, and
Doherty, a 15-year Shelton po-
lice officer, were placed on paid
administrative leave shortly
after the man’s arrest. Both re-
mained on leave until their ter-
minations earlier this month.
Moody wrote letters dat-
ed Nov. 2 to Dickinson and
Doherty, which were obtained
by the Journal, that explained
reasons for the dismissals from
the department. In the letter
to Doherty, Moody stated “you
have had more documented use
of force than any other member
of the Shelton Police Depart-
ment for the last four years.”
Moody added in his letter to
Doherty that the majority of the
former officer’s use-of-force re-
ports involved pepper spray and
“homeless individuals.”
The affidavit of probable
cause for the man’s arrest lists
him as having no permanent
address.
Moody added in his letter to
Doherty that the former officer’s
personnel file included a viola-
tion of insubordination in 2014
regarding an inappropriate re-
lationship with a woman.
Both officers’ notice of termi-

County Superior Court. Later that day, Dorcy’s office announced it does not plan to file
criminal charges against two former Shelton police officers investigated for excessive use
of force.
nation, written by Moody, con-
tains the same conclusion.
“Your conduct was a product
of direct indifference to applica-
tion of policies and contrary to
your training and current en-
vironment of respect,” Moody
wrote. “You have been provided
clear training and management
that reinforces our current poli-
cies and culture of respect and
community engagement.”
Moody added additional
information in his letter to
Doherty.
“Given your prior disciplin-
ary record, failure to follow di-
rectives and refusal to accept
responsibility for your current
misconduct, I am terminat-
ing your employment effective
November 6, 2017,” the letter
stated.
In a Monday afternoon inter-
view with the Journal, Moody
reiterated his reasoning for
terminating the employment
of Dickinson and Doherty, and
that his decision was made in-
dependent of a criminal inves-
tigation into the former officers’
conduct.
“Our decision here is based
solely on policies and proce-
dures,” he said. “I’ve said from
day 1, the personnel investiga-
tion, the internal investiga-
tion, is totally separate from
the criminal investigation. So,
when Thurston County finished
theirs and it was done, we start-
ed ours. We came to a decision,
and it looks like today (Monday)
Mr. Dorcy came to a decision.”
Attorney Alan Harvey of
Northwest Legal Advocates
LLC, of Vancouver, who repre-
sents Dickinson and Doherty,
said in an emailed statement to
the Journal that he believes his
clients were wrongfully fired.
“Unfortunately, the Shelton
Police Chief’s decision was to
move forward on the decision
as to discipline without the aid
or benefit of any expert analysis
on the use of force as to the in-
cident that occurred on May 25,
2017,” Harvey wrote. “The Chief
of Police rushed to judgment,
which denied Officer Dickinson
and Officer Doherty the right to
due process in an employment
context.”
Dorcy said that obtaining
the opinion of an expert in use
of force was the reason his of-
fice required more than three
months to conclude its own in-
vestigation after the Thurston
County Sheriff’s Office report
was made public.
“We got a report from Thur-
ston County without having a
professional, an expert, a master
instructor, somebody with that
expertise doing a use-of-force
review,” Dorcy said. “I’ve never
seen or heard of a case like this
without that being done.
“One of the things we recog-
nized right off the bat is that
if I take action based on what
Thurston County has given me,
the next thing that happens is
defense comes in, and they’re

going to have an expert that
will say that everything these
guys (Dickinson and Doherty)
did was right as rain. … We
had to have our ducks in a line
with quite frankly an anticipa-
tion that based on what Thur-
ston County recommended and
based on our own emotional re-
action to watching (officer body
camera) video that it had to be
supported by an expert.”
After reaching out to several
law enforcement entities, Dorcy
selected Robert Bragg, defen-
sive tactics program manager
for the Washington State Crim-
inal Justice Training Commis-
sion, as his use-of-force expert.
The Thurston County report,
which included body-cam video
of the incident and still pho-
tographs of the man arrested
taken upon his intake to Mason
General, as well as Dickinson
and Doherty’s training records,
were provided to Bragg on Sept.
15. Bragg’s written opinion was
submitted to Dorcy’s office on
Oct. 27. After review, Dorcy
conducted a follow-up interview
with Bragg on Nov. 7 and Dorcy
went public with his decision
not to prosecute six days later.
In his report, Bragg con-
cluded Dickinson and Doherty
should not face criminal charg-
es.
“The remedy for (name re-
dacted) is best left as a civil
matter to be decided in the fed-
eral court, while the behavior of
the officers should be addressed
administratively as a matter of
policy compliance (or lack there-
of) as opposed or in addition to
criminal charges,” Bragg wrote
in his report.
Police reports and body-cam
footage indicate the incident
began when Dickinson and
Doherty approached the man,
who was sleeping on a landing
of a fire escape outside the sec-
ond floor of Community Lifeline
on Cedar Street. Community
Lifeline is a shelter that pro-
vides meals, emergency shelter,
showers and case management
services for the homeless.
The officers made repeated
attempts to wake the man by
shouting several times to “show
me your hands.” After receiv-
ing no response, the man was
warned he would be pepper
sprayed if he continued to ig-
nore the officers’ requests. The
man was then pepper sprayed
in the face.
Body-camera footage shows
the officers converging on the
man and a struggle that contin-
ued for several minutes ensued.
That footage shows the officers
striking the man repeatedly be-
fore taking him away in hand-
cuffs.
In his letters of termination,
Moody stated the use-of-force re-
port initially submitted was in-
accurate, that neither Dickinson
nor Doherty could state which
of the two filled out inaccurate
pre-attack indicators within
the report and that additional
contradictions within the report
were found. However, that use-
of-force report was signed by
both Dickinson and Doherty.
It is Moody’s conclusion that
the use of pepper spray was out-
side of department training and
policies. Additionally, Harvey,
representing his clients in a
hearing with Moody, referenced
two knives that were located in
the “immediate wingspan” of
the man. Within the termina-
tion letters, Moody wrote “there
is clearly a discussion on video
regarding knives, however the
officers did not feel the knives
were important enough to book
as the subject’s property or evi-
dence in this case. To date (Nov.
2), these knives have not been
located.”
The Associated Press re-
ported Tuesday that the man
is planning to file a civil claim
against the City of Shelton
through his court-appointed
attorney, Jeanette Boothe. At-
tempts to contact Boothe prior
to the Journal’s deadline were
unsuccessful.

THAT’S OLD NEWS
November 16, 1920
Shelton Needs
the Homes
There promises to be something of
a building boom all over the country
with the opening of next spring, when
all conditions will be fairly equable to
the builder, the material man and the
workman. Recent statistics indicate
that of the millions of marriages dur-
ing the current year less than ten per
cent were represented in the building
of new homes. Just where all the rest of
the newlyweds are roosting is beyond
us. It is a safe guess that few of these
couples will amount to much until they
acquire homes of their own and settle
down somewhere to become staid citi-
zens and fixtures in some community
which offers remunerative work, good
schools and the reasonable pleasures
of life. There may be better towns than
Shelton but they are few. In fact after
30753
visiting many of the smaller towns of
the state we have yet to find one which
combines so many good features for
comfort and satisfactory living. Good
schools, churches, water and sewer
system, hotel, bank, the library and the

ey should consider the fact that a score

of neat modern homes renting from
$15 to $20 a month would offer a fine
investment.

“Go Carts” Seen
As Danger By City
Officials
The problems involved in controlling
“go carts,” small power driven vehicles
which have become a fad throughout
the county, drew the attention of the
Shelton City Commission at its regular
weekly meeting Tuesday in city hall.
Several residents in the high school
area have complained to the city about
the noise of the go carts as well as the
danger involved in their operation. Po-
lice Sgt. Vincent Santamaria reported
to the Commission that under state law
the go carts come under the same laws
as autos since they are power driven.
Santamaria told the Commission the
carts can be operated legally on private
grounds with the possible exception of
the hours between 11 p.m. and 8 a.m.
when they could be stopped because of
the loud noise they make, under a city
ordinance. At the present time a go cart
club is being formed in town and Mayor
Moore said the commission is thinking
about allowing them to operate at the
airport under supervision.

Announces Plans

Expansion at Certified Manufactur-

increase in employment of 100 to 125
persons is in progress, William Boad,
president of the company, said this
week. Boad said Certified recently pur-
chased the Macro Company in Brea,
California, and plans to move equip-
ment from that plant to its operation
at Sanderson Field here. The plant has
about 60 employees who have been
given an opportunity to move to this
area when the equipment is brought
up. He said that when the equipment
is installed in a new building which
is now under construction, additional
employees will be hired with a total of
about 100 anticipated. Boad said he
anticipates the new building will be
finished and the move will start shortly
after the first of the year and will be
completed in March.

Puppy Trio
Dumped in the
Middle of 101
A trio of cuddly Labrador retriever
puppies will get a second chance at life,
thanks to a woman who rescued them
and the animal shelter in Shelton.
Mason County Animal Control Officer
Tanna McGill said the three female
pups, (who have been nicknamed
Shadow, Ebony and Onyx) had been
dumped in a banana box in the middle
of Highway 101 near Shelton Springs
Road last Saturday. A woman driving
along the highway swerved to miss the
box at the same time one of the pups
peeked its little head out. The woman
stopped, retrieved the box full of pup-
pies and kept them over the weekend,
then turned them over to McGill on
Monday. The dogs were up for adoption
as of noon on Wednesday.

told the mayor, “Remember I will not

I will look at what we absolutely need

The two districts are at a point
“where all the stars aligned to change

If the measure passes in both dis-

districts would remain autonomous.
The two boards could meet monthly to
discuss high school business, but that
matter has not been decided yet, Brew-
er said.

Jarrell Cove Cemetery
takes first step to join
County Historic Register
BY DANA KAMPA
dana@masoncounty.com
When Robert Jarrell, the namesake
of Jarrell Cove, died in 1894, his wife,
Philura, planted four small fir trees
around his grave. Today, the trees, cov-
ered in English ivy, stand more than
175 feet tall as a towering monument
to the cemetery’s first inhabitant.
One Harstine Island resident is
aiming to add that living history to
the record. Sandy Murphy, Harstine
Island historian, is spearheading ef-
forts to get the Jarrell Cove Cemetery
added to the County Historic Regis-
ter.
She first began seriously delving
into the island’s history three years
ago as residents prepared to celebrate
the Harstine Island Community
Hall’s centennial.
“Then I went on my investigation
of just how the cemetery worked and
what it did,” Murphy explained to the
Mason County Historic Preservation
Commission last week.
The commission gave its stamp of
approval Nov. 9 by officially recom-
mending the Mason County Board
of County Commissioners accept the
proposal.
During the meeting at the county
health building, the preservation
commission approved the recommen-
dation on the basis that the cemetery
met at least two criteria for being an
area of significance:
n Is a birthplace or grave of a

died in 1894. Today, those trees tower so high above
the Jarrell Cove Cemetery that the tops are shrouded
out of view behind a thick curtain of English ivy. When
water drops shake loose from the highest leafs, the
few seconds of silence are notable as they fall 175
feet to the ground.

historical figure of outstanding im-
portance and is the only surviving
structure or site associated with that
person.
n Is a cemetery, which derives its
primary significance from age, from
distinctive design features, or from
association with historic events or
cultural patterns.
During her research, Murphy
discovered the original deed for the
cemetery, confirming that it was 120
years old. Preservation commission
chair Rick Calvin said the cemetery’s
age was one of its most compelling
points of interest.
Robert Jarrell first moved to the
Puget Sound area in 1852, and he
went on to make a permanent settle-
ment on Harstine Island in 1872. He
ran a successful logging business on
his 160 acres of land, and in 1878, he
married Philura. Philura went on to
be the island’s first postmistress. The
Jarrells became the first family of Eu-
ropean settlers on the island.
“The tribes would come to Jarrell
Cove, and they would have potlatches
there once a year in the summer, and
they invited the Jarrells,” Murphy
said.
A potlatch is a ceremonial feast
held by Pacific Northwest Native
Americans marked by the host’s gen-
erosity and wealth.
Robert died in 1894 at 65 years
old from an old logging-related in-
jury. Philura erected a monument to
her husband and planted the fir trees
that still stand there today, just to the
right of the entrance to the cemetery.
“He was considered very honorable
and upright in his dealings,” Murphy
read from “The Island Remembers:

Jarrell: Cemetery holds memories for island’s residents

continued from page A-20
A History of Harstine Island and Its
People,” published in 1979.
Philura deeded half an acre of land
on Feb. 19, 1897 to Jacob Wingert.
After dying at age 83, she was buried
there on Easter Sunday in 1913.
The cemetery continued to record
the stories of Harstine Island’s resi-
dents. Graves decorated with shoes
of the deceased tell of the early set-
tlers’ Scandinavian roots. The road to
the cemetery used to run through the
schoolyard next door, and the tomb-
stones provided a hiding place for col-
ored Easter eggs the teacher would
tuck away for students to find. And ev-
ery Memorial Day, American flags sa-
lute the graves of the area’s veterans.
Murphy commended Elaine Ireland for
taking the responsibility upon herself
for years.
The Jarrell Cove Cemetery is not
the only one on the small island. The
Ballow Cemetery contains the graves
of some of the island’s earliest settlers.
An undated document written by Eliz-
abeth McElroy Allison describes the
cemetery:
“Probably the most illustrious man
buried at Ballow was Melvin and Lottie
Sutton Uggen’s father, Moses. He was
known to Islanders and throughout
Mason County as ‘Uncle Mose,’ a most
beloved, talented and energetic man.
In his house at Ballow he had a little
shoe repair shop. He tanned hides of

owned a little printing press and print-
ed and published a newspaper called
THE BALLOW BREEZE.”
According to the report, Uncle Mo-
ses made cedar caskets in his own little
mill, and even built the one in which he
was buried. Though the cemetery isn’t
as large, it an important component of
the island’s history, as is Jarrell Cove

the cemetery. At the center of the cel-

this year.
When asked why she was motivated
to seek the designation, Murphy said
it was an opportunity for the island’s
tight-knit community to celebrate its
roots.
“Harstine is a very, very special
place,” Murphy said. “We don’t have
much of a history, and I think the
things that we have that we can pro-
mote and honor, this is one of them.”

Shelton Parks & Rec winter programs begin
By ALEXANDRA SMITH
alexandra@masoncounty.com
As cold weather ap-
proaches, the Shelton
Parks & Recreation de-
partment has come up
with a few ways residents
can thaw out this winter.
One rec league basket-
ball coach, Logan Brady,
played in the league when
he was growing up in
Shelton. Now, he is the
coach of his second-grade
son’s team. He played in
the Parks & Rec league
every year from second to
seventh grade and even
was a volunteer referee
when he played at Shelton
High School.
“It set me on a path
where I was interested
in sports and it became a
big part of my life,” Brady
said. “Baseball and bas-
ketball growing up was
huge, and it started at the
Parks & Rec level. You
learn what sports maybe
you are better at that you
enjoy more. Then as you
get older, you focus on
those more. It’s definitely
a good starting point.”
The basketball season
begins with two skill clin-
ics conducted by the Shel-
ton High School High-
climber coaches on Sat-
urday and Dec. 2. Team
assignments and practice
schedules will be distrib-
uted at the skill clinic on
Dec. 2.
The department cur-
rently has multiple offer-
ings each week, including
an adult co-ed basketball
pickup league and yoga
classes. Both are ongoing.
The department of-
fered a Junior Spirit Win-
ter Cheerleading Camp
that started earlier this
week and finished today,
and will kick off a youth
basketball league Satur-
day at the Shelton High
School Mini-Dome.
The league runs
through Feb. 3 and is
open to second- through
seventh-graders. The bas-
ketball league has been a
staple in the Parks & Rec
program offerings for de-
cades.
“With second-graders,
this is their first year, so
it’s a pretty steep learning
curve,” Brady said. “Basi-
cally, you want them to
get the basics — not dou-

ble-dribbling or traveling.
Maybe learn a few basics,
like how to set a screen
and that kind of thing, but
you want them to have
fun and enjoy it. You want
them to learn the basics
and want to come back.
You have to give them
stuff to work on when we
aren’t in season, also.”
Each Saturday, sec-
ond- and third-graders
meet at 9 a.m., fourth-
and fifth-graders meet at
10:15 a.m., and sixth- and
seventh-graders meet at
11:30 a.m. The boys pro-
gram will practice at the
Mini-Dome, and the girls
program will practice at
the Oakland Bay Junior
High gym.
“It keeps the kids active
and it keeps them busy,”
Brady said. “It keeps them
away from things that can
lead them the wrong way.
There are just so many
benefits to team sports
as far as life lessons. Not
only making yourself bet-
ter, but working together
towards a common goal
and that you can achieve
things bigger than your-
self when you’re working
with a team. I think it’s
definitely important to
teach lessons like that.”

It’s just a really fun game

Registration forms are
available at local schools,
the Shelton Civic Center
and online at www.shel-

by Saturday. The partici-
pation fee is $60.
Partial scholarships
are available for youth
programs, and financial
assistance to families is
based on income require-
ments.

days are protected from violence as if
they’re encased in bubble wrap. Yet
Pro Bowl-caliber QBs, such as Aaron
Rodgers and Andrew Luck, are among
many of the NFL’s elite who won’t see
the playing field the rest of the year
because of injuries.
But slightly adjusting the rules of
the game in the name of player safety
is like putting a Band-Aid on a bullet
hole.
Not long after the final whistle
sounded on the Seahawks’ 22-16 de-
feat of the Cardinals, players began
lashing out at the NFL in postgame
interviews for jeopardizing the health
of athletes by playing in Thursday
night games.
Seattle wide receiver Doug Bald-
win, who played at less than 100 per-
cent after pulling a quadriceps muscle
in pregame warm-ups, isn’t as outspo-
ken as some of his teammates. But
when asked by the Tacoma News Tri-
bune if playing games on a Thursday
after a Sunday game, Baldwin went
on an expletive-filled rant that would
have made Grizzly Adams blush.
“This is not OK. ... Absolutely, guys
do not have enough time to recover,”
Baldwin said in the portion of his
interview that was fit for print. “You
can’t recover in four days.”
Seahawks head coach Pete Car-
roll was asked by the News Tribune if
Thursday games put the health of his
players in danger and made his feel-
ings known without risking a fine by
the league office.
“I don’t want to pay anything, so
I’m not going to comment about that,”
Carroll said.
But Sherman’s injury was one of
two glaring examples of the NFL’s hy-
pocrisy during last week’s Seahawks
game. As is now league policy, when
an on-field official suspects a player
has symptoms of a concussion, the
player must leave the playing field
and be cleared to resume playing by
an independent medical professional
before being allowed to return to game
action.
Midway through the third quarter
of last Thursday’s game, Seahawks
quarterback Russell Wilson took a
shot to the chin from Arizona line-
backer Karlos Dansby, for which
Dansby was flagged for roughing the
passer. Following the hit, veteran ref-
eree Walt Anderson sent Wilson to the
sideline to be placed in what the NFL
describes as “concussion protocol.”
Live television coverage showed
Wilson enter the team’s sideline medi-
cal tent and stay there for about as
long as it takes for a person to say “I’m
fine.” Apparently, without an exami-
nation by a doctor, Wilson strapped on
his helmet and returned to the field,
having missed only one play.
As of Tuesday morning, five days af-
ter the game, the NFL was still investi-
gating the incident and deciding if the
Seahawks would be subject to a maxi-
mum fine of $150,000. By dragging its
feet on fining the Seahawks, the NFL
showed its true colors, and those colors
are money green, gold and silver. It’s
obvious the NFL is far more interested
in keeping a star such as Wilson on the
field than protecting his health.
The most valuable commodity the
NFL has is its star athletes. The more
time those standouts wow us with
their on-field accomplishments, the
more money finds its way into the
bank accounts of team owners.
So, argue all you want about how
the NFL is leading a charge to make
the game of football safer for play-
ers. But when faced with the deci-
sions about whether to play showcase
games on Thursday night or making
sure concussion protocol is followed,
the NFL has fumbled directly into the
hands of greed.

HARSTINE ISLAND NEWS

Sign or no sign, please remember: You’re on island time

I
see we have an electronic
speed limit sign on the
island. It is right up there
by the community hall on
North Island Drive. If you go
over the speed limit,
which is 35 mph, the
sign blinks and re-
minds you what the
speed limit is. I’ve
mentioned before that
people tend to speed
on the island and I’m
thinking the sign is
there because of that.
Years ago, an islander By MIKE

said, “You’re On Island
Time Now.” That sign, which
was stolen almost immedi-
ately, was put up to suggest

time to slow down and relax.
