September 4: A human skull found Tuesday in the Tahuya area sparked an extensive search for more remains there Wednesday. The skull was found on September 2 by a local mushroom
picker and his son northeast of Collins Lake in close proximity to the Tahuya River. It wasn’t known Wednesday if the skull was that of George Ronald Fuller, a 50-year-old Belfair man who disappeared last December after flood
waters washed out the bridge on the Belfair-Tahuya Road. A fourth incident of vandalism at the new Shelton Presbyterian Church under construction on Springs Road had members in disbelief as they checked it out. Windows were broken and
walls spray-painted with graffiti. A $1,000 reward has been offered. Frustration over soaring Shelton property values came to the fore during a public meeting last Thursday night. Mason County Assessor Dixie Smith and Terry Bow, the
department’s chief appraiser, met with about 40 residents in the Shelton Civic Center, many of whom were unhappy with their latest property revaluations. While property

values have gone up, levy rates are dropping, Smith said.
Teachers at Mary M. Knight School in Matlock lead all schools in Mason County when it comes to having a master’s degree, according to the latest report card on public schools issued by Superintendent of Public Instruction Terry
Bergeson. The state reported 70 percent of the teachers at Mary M. Knight had a master’s degree. Two women who will be moving from Shelton have given the city a going-away present: a large parcel about one acre in size to be used
for a new park. The gift came from Mary Anne Murray and partner Betty “B.J.” Beatty. The site is in the Angleside area and bordered by Harvard and Grant avenues and Eighth and Ninth streets.
