p_i_on_ee_r_BOnd prices meant.ff{00.againlOWer cost: Hood Canal Scho hopes for high school vote for crucial levy a t 00proval ili Hood Canal School District is Hood Canal Cmzens Advmory 11 8 percent That includes paint class size will increase, stu asking its voters on February 2 to Committee established the levy l&apos;ioneer School District has a $16.1 million, 20-year bond issue ()n the February 2 ballot. The election marks the third time the district has asked voters to pass such a bond. If it's approved this time around, the funds from the bond issue would enable the district to build a new high school, add six new classrooms at the primary school and modernize and add classrooms onto the intermediate and middle school. It's basically the same bond is- sue as one voters narrowly turned down twice last year. But there is one lnajor difference: a lower cost to taxpayers because of a drop in tile bond market. The bond would cost property owners in the district an estimat- ed $1.31 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. That means the owner of a home with an assessed valua- tion of $100,000 would pay $131 a year, or $10.92 a month, begin- ning in the year 2000 to cover the cost of the bond. LAST APRIL, the bond issue would have cost voters $1.90 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, which computed to $190 a year on a home assessed at $100,000. But because of the current conditions in the bond market, the cost is now estimated at $1.31 per $1,00o. "It's a real bargain now," Pioneer Schools Superintendent I)ick Sirokman argues. "It's a window of opportunity because of tile bond market being so low right now." Another opportunity is the beautiful piece of property where the high school would be built that's located in the middle of the district, Sirokman said, adding he doesn't know how long the prop- erty owner, Simpson Timber Company, would keep it available for sale to the school district. If the bond passes, a 56-acre parcel would be acquired next to the park-and-ride at State Route 3 and Pickering Road. That would be the site of the new high school, which would house some 500 stu- dents. CURRENTLY, NEARLY 400 high school students live in the Pioneer district and attend either Shelton or North Mason high schools. Pioneer pays Shelton and North Mason more than $400,000 a year to educate its students. If the bond passes, those dollars would stay within the Pioneer district. Pioneer currently sends three busloads of students to Shelton High School. Sirokman said the students are on the buses up to two hours or more each day. Some Pioneer students are catch- ing buses fbr SHS as early as 6:11 in the morning. "That is a real burden on a lot of families," Sir- okman said. If Shelton School District builds a second high school before Pioneer has its own, Pioneer resi- dents would be obligated to pay a portion of Shelton's 20-year bond issue, Sirokman argued. "PIONEER SCHOOL District residents will be paying for another high school within the next four or five years whether they like it or not," he said. In addition to a new high school and new primary school classrooms, the bond would en- able the district to make major revisions to the intermediate-mid- dle school, which would bring facilities up to building code and standards to include moderniza- tion, demolition and construction of 20 new rooms. The proposed high school would include a complete curricu- lum; general classrooms; lab spaces for sciences, business, tele- communications and more; a gym; an auditorium/multipurpose room for use by students and the com- munity; athletic and intramural fields and a space for fueling and parking buses. approve a two-year maintenance- and-operations levy that would raise $380,000 for the year 2000 and $380,000 for 2001. The levy rate is estimated at 79 cents per $1,000 of assessed valuation. That means for a home with an assessed value of $150,000, the owner would pay $118.50 per year for two years. The levy replaces an earlier levy and is not added onto that previous levy, Hood Canal School Superintendent John Simpson said. "It's like a magazine subscrip- tion," Simpson said. "You order it tbr a year and it runs out, then you renew it." SOME 26 members of the Some v,):ers get the wrong ballots Several incorrect absentee bal- lots were mailed to voters in the Hood Canal School District, Ma- son County Auditor Al Brotche reported. Fifty-three of 1,200 absentee ballots sent out to voters in the school district by Apex Mailing Services in Olympia for the Feb- ruary 2 maintenance-and-opera- tions levy were incorrect, Brotche said. The affected Hood Canal School District voters were mis- takenly sent ballots for an elec- tion in the North Mason School District. The Mason County Elections Department has made several phone calls, sent letters and new ballots to voters who received the wrong ballots. "Every step will be taken to correct this error and we apologize for your inconvenience," Brotche said. Voters in the school district who have any questions about their ballots are urged to call the elections department at 427-9670, extension 470. amount, which was later adopted by the Hood Canal School Board. The citizens' advisory committee included parents, grandparents, senior citizens, school staff mem- bers and people with no children enrolled in the school. The group met several times and studied school district data, then made its recommendations to the school board. The levy advisory committee and school board are asking only for what is needed at. the school, Simpson said. By law, the district could ask for a maximum of $767,746 for each of the two years, but instead is seeking voter approval for 49.5 percent of that maximum amount. The majority of the levy funds, nearly 79 percent, will be used for "academics," Simpson explained. That means those funds will go for maintaining existing pro- grams and adding new programs to meet student needs; buying new textbooks to replace math, social studies and science books that are 10 to 14 years old; pro- viding student supplies and mate- rials; buying student and staff learning equipment, including computers and software and li- brary books; and making the dis- trict's nonhigh payments to Shel- ton School District. "That's an awful lot of levy money going to those basic skills areas," he noted. THE BALANCE of the levy money will be spent as follows: • Maintenance and custodial, Journal roles change aider death of editor The Shelton Mason County Journal has recon and Port of Shelton since 1993 While society edi figured its leadership following the January 3 death of Henry Gay, editor and publisher of the newspaper since 1966. Three faces familiar to Journal readers are in- volved in the editorial changes. Charlie Gay, the younger son of Henry Gay, has become the editor and publisher. A 1971 graduate of Shelton High School, he was sports editor of The Journal from 1968 to 1971 while in high school and earned a bachelor's degree in economics from the University of Washington in 1976. lie held eight positions on The University of Washington Daily while in college. He then worked in newsrooms at The Tacoma News Trib- une, The Lynnwood Enterprise, The Scappoose Spotlight in Oregon and The Northshore Citizen in Bothell before returning to Shelton in 1980 to become managing editor of The Journal. He has supervised the newsroom in that position for the last 18 years. Carolyn Maddux has taken over Charlie Gay's position as managing editor. She grew up on the North Shore of Hood Canal and received a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Washington in 1965. Her long history with The Journal started in 1978, when she began a six-year stint as Mason County Visitor's Guide editor and newsroom fill-in. From 1983 to 1993 she was the newspaper's society editor and county commission reporter. She has been covering the police, sheriff, courts tor she started her "Et cetera" column, which she has written ever since and will continue to do. She earned a master's degree in creative writing from the McGregor School of Antioch University in Ohio in 1998 and teaches writing at Olympic College Shelton. Sean Hanlon has been hired to assume Mad- dux's beat covering cops, court and the port. A Chicago native, he received a bachelor's degree in journalism from Marquette University in Wis- consin and has worked in the profession for 24 years - six of them in the Midwest, nine in Alas- ka and nine in Washington. He was The Jour- nal's general assignment reporter from 1990 to 1997 before starting his own newspaper venture, The Working Circular, based in Shelton. He has also published several novels. Henry Gay's older son, Stephen, a 1968 gradu- ate of Shelton High School, continues as The Journal's advertising manager. He worked part time in the Journal pressroom from 1966 to 1971 and was the production foreman from 1984 to 1997, when he moved into the ad room as super- visor. The late publisher's daughter, Julie Orme, a 1973 SHS graduate, will continue as the busi- ness manager. She has been in that position su- pervising the front office since 1990. The three Gay children will share the responsibility of run- ning the newspaper for their mother Fern Gay, the publisher's widow, who now owns the paper.

That failure led to the cut- ting of five full-time teachers and one part-time teacher from the school's 26-person teaching staff.
