Candidates share views at forumBy GORDON WEEKS
gordon@masoncounty.com Candidates for the Shelton City Commission and the Shelton and Hood Canal school boards shared their views Monday evening at the Mason County Public Works building in Shelton. About 30 people attended the forum sponsored by the Shelton-Mason County Chamber of Commerce. The event began with Shelton City Commissioner Tracy Moore and challenger Kevin Dorcy. They are vying for a four-year term on the commission. In her opening statement, Moore said she’s been “honored” to serve on the commission for four years as the city has emerged from the effects of the recession. “Our city has so much potential we haven’t begun to tap yet,” she said. Moore is advocating the change on the Nov. 7 ballot from a three-person city commission — the only one in the state — to a seven-member city council. “I believe that’s what our citizens want,” she said.

Shelton-based lumber company contributes to large timberland sale
By DANA KAMPA
dana@masoncounty.com As the result of a large timberland sale, a joint lumber venture will become worth $1 billion, partially from a contribution from a Shelton-based company. Green Diamond Resource Co., a private timber company based in Shelton, contributed 21,000 acres of timberland in the Pacific Northwest to a joint venture with the intent to allow institutions to directly invest in timber. Patti Case, public affairs manager for Green Diamond, said the transaction is a good fit. The acquisition involves four main parties: Silver Creek Capital Management, Twin Creeks Timber LLC, Weyerhaeuser Co. and Green Diamond. Silver Creek is a $6.3-billion alternative investment manager. The firm is based in Seattle and works globally with customers to develop investment strategies. For more of the Shelton-Mason County Journal, subscribe to our weekly edition. |

The Shelton High School football team lost to North Thurston High School on Oct. 13, 20-7.
The Rams struck first, taking advantage of a short field after the Highclimbers failed to convert a fourth and two on their 45. North Thurston needed nine plays to score its first touchdown.
Shelton scored its touchdown by going 97 yards in seven plays capped by an 86-yard touchdown run by junior Troy Goodwin.
The Rams added a second touchdown with less than two seconds to go in the first half and their third score came in the third quarter, both on passes from Dylan Harn to Austin Bates.
The Highclimbers also lost a fumble on a kickoff and senior quarterback Evan Rhodes threw an interception. Shelton senior Travis Colbenson intercepted Harn in the third quarter, his second pick in two games.
The Highclimbers may have lost, but they were able to put up their best offensive stats to date this season. Shelton rushed on 27 plays to gain 98 yards. The Climbers were 5 for 14 passing for 57 yards. Goodwin rushed for 122 yards in Friday’s game.
Shelton dropped to 0-7 on the season while North Thurston picked up its first win.
The Highclimbers return home next Friday to take on Central Kitsap.
