anti inflation policies Reagan responded that understood the concerns of ourEuropean Haig said Reagan also observed that because inflation appears to be declining a basis for some optimism that in the

Staff Writer One community affairs assistant and five ecology aides worked north toward Bremerton on State Route 3 picking up tom cardboard discarded cans and ciga rette butts rom time to time a passing car would honk and motorists would wave what they yell is said Karen Longstreet Ms Longstreet know to the state Department of Ecology as a community affairs assistant is supervisor to five teen agers known as ecology aides all of whom spend most of their waking hours picking up what other people have dropped the ones that fill up the big white and blue litter bags which are hung like criminals of bygone days from roadside posts as object lessons for passing citizens a seasonal job and the second year Ms pongstreet has had it The job runs from mid June through August During that time work with two crews of local teen agers picking litter from the county line near Belfair northward along state highways as far as Kingston The program is an offshoot of the Model Litter Control Act financed by a tax on the manufacturers of litter material of $150 per $1 million of profit The July crew working south of Chico is Don Busenbark Marcella Olson John Hegg Katrina Grimaldi and Giau Bui all students at South Kitsap High School Working north from Chico in August will be Bremerton Central Kitsap students Marina Ramac Scott Muf Mark Sumeral David Pearson and Lori Irwin Ms Longstreet and her two young sons live in the Belfair area com mitted to not throwing Utter because they know got a mom who stops the car if they throw anything she said The ecology aides came from among 30 finalists selected at random from more than 300 area youth who applied for the jobs look for someone who expresses a desire to work and some enthusiasm about the said Ms Longstreet She said the aides call us are the cream of the crop suitable for satisfying the versatile demands week worked in the hot sun and the pouring down said Ms Longstreet have to be able to work in the rain in the sun they have to be willing to work where there are snakes and sticker bushes and be willing to get dirty the other hand they also have to be personable 'and able to go to county fairs and the community handing out litter bags and She said the current crew wiU be spending two days distributing bags and information at Silverdale Whaling Days and may also spend a day at the Bremer ton ferry terminal good duty said the kids much preferable to spending seven hours a day filling 30 to 50 bags with broken bottles cardboard bottlecaps cigarette butts shock cords hubcaps shop rags pieces of rubber oil cans we find anything that amounts to said Ms Longs treet Tin cans are common she said and ice chest Uds and tons styrofoam packaging materials we find garbage where somebody has dumped three huge bags of garbage In those cases we slit them open and try to find an envelope with their name and report them to the authorities Katrina said they pick up dead animals or some An other thing they pick up or try not to is slugs love beer and they climb in the beer said Ms Longstreet oooh it smells It is the But for the aides the job pays $310 an hour a job they say and a feeling of accomplishment all admitted Katrina not really that bad but I wish that people that throw out their garbage would have to come out here and do Besides said Ms Longstreet the job has occasional fringe benefits want to tell this story because maybe happen she said last year we were getting ready to knock off and it was a hot hot day about 90 degrees and this lady pulled up in a pickup truck and held out this ice cold six pack of pop said picked up near where I live and did a really good job and I want you to have And for a memorabilia buff the job would be its own reward Don is collect ing matchbooks and metal nameplates from automobiles some Christmas tinsel and ornaments decorates the crew rearview mirror and once Katrina found an unlove letter was a letter to a husband from a wife a very upset wife with a lot of words I use written in very big she said And all the work adds up said DOE youth crew supervisor Joan Roberts Last year Kitsap crews cleaned 60 miles of roadway collecting 837 bags of litter which at an average 15 pounds each weighed more than six tons In a sample one mile stretch of highway they picked up 25 bags containing 546 items of paper 554 of glass 275 of plastic 179 of wood 128 of rubber and 255 of metal Biodegradable wood is tossed into bushes but all other items are bagged When the two cubic foot bags are full hung or placed on display along the roadside for a week then picked up by cooperating Department of Transpor tation crews obvious goals of the youth corps are to pick up litter and clean the said Ms Longstreet more important we pick up litter to fill those white litter bags to hang on the posts mile after mile so the public can see them We see picking up litter as a means to an Callow Businesses Wait And See On The Adult Theater By Seabury Blair Sim Staff writer too early to assess the impact on other Callow Avenue businesses of the opening of Bremerton's adult movie thea ter the Playtime Grand say the owners of some of those businesses But Art Lowerie the operations direc tor for Roger owned theaters which include the Playtime Grand said he hoped the theater will become a good neighbor with the businesses around it The theater opened riday night to a first showing audience of 135 persons including 11 couoles Business was brisk on Saturday after noon too said Lowerie perhaps because of the pending personal appearance by one of the stars Samantha ox It was pretty milch what we expect said Lowerie might have thought get a few more drunks than we did only one showed up and very conscious about In fact the clamor which preceded the opening of the theater may turn out to be the only problem the theater has with the Callow Avenue businesses surrounding it said Lowerie No pickets showed up riday or Saturday Neighboring business people appeared to be taking a wait and see attitude At the Healthway Store two doors from the theater clerk Pat Carrigan said noticed a drop in their business since the theater opened But business is usually slower this time of year she'noted probably wait a little linger before we can she said we have to move" Next door Pawn Shop owner Dave raney said too early to tell what effects if any the theater may have on his business seems pretty normal Just now about all I could say is I love my neighbors all my Bob Wright said he's already lost customers because of the loca tion across the street from his shoe store Wright owner of The Bootery was among the Callow Avenue businessmen who fought to keep the theater from opening makes me sick to my stomach to see people going in he said too early to tell what really doing tl I do have letters from people iio say that if it keeps up they come in say one thing though I think City Hall made a mistake by giving them a license I think hurt their (the city's) chances After a federal judge ordered that the theater be allowed to open without a' license pending a court battle over a city ordinance designed to regulate such busi nesses the city decided to issue the license so it can collect and theater taxes from the Grand The theater in opinion might be better company than the adult book store a couple of doors away on the same side of the street as the Bootery I was to have my druthers rather have a movie house But I like either he said 1 rom the outside the theater is similar to just about any neighborhood theater The only indication that it shows adult movies might be from the marquee above the entrance And the way Lowerie says it will remain won't be any he said would create more animosity than whole trick in surviving in a community is to become a good neighbor and we Intend to do There is little chance said Lowerie of someone walking into his theater una ware of the movies shown there one driving down the street is going to drop into a theater to see a movie sold a lot of tickets and I never have seen a person who know what they were going to replied 17 Pound Salmon Best The winner of this of a Salmon may have thought he had tied into a whale at first But it turned out to be a 17 pound king salmon that netted Harvey Quy 414 Bremerton Blvd the $1000 grand prize in this derby The contest held Saturday and
