They all enjoyed the team That's the theme of Valerie Mc- Leod's Tuesday and Thursday evening classes held from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. in the Hawkins Middle School gym. McLeod, a physical therapist in Belfair, began the program in March, 1997. Why? "Because I needed exercise, I like to exercise, I think it is good for people, and I know a lot about exercising. I was trying to encourage people to ex- ercise. Then on top of that, I can to go out of town. She and a friend joined together. "We have lots of fun and lots of laughs," she said of the activity. When the group did a routine involving holding weights, they pointed out that Janie Vincent was using soup cans because San- ta didn't bring her the real ones yet. The ribbing was all in good fun! Each member had a comment about why they joined, or why SUE HAHTO steps it out during a recent aerobics class. Task force addresses PPP social concerns all they can to provide a safe and supportive environment for their children. Inclusion in the directory will be voluntary. Its purpose is to en- able parents to network with other parents; to share insights, questions, problems, worries and strategies related to raising hap- py and healthy children in the wisest and most thoughtful way possible. The group hopes that this ef- fort will help decrease drug and alcohol problems in the North Mason area and also foster a sense of community among par- ents and children. Currently, the task force is in- vestigating possible sources of funding for the directory. Resi- dents with questions or sugges- tions are asked to call Dr. Gill at 275-5005. Under the leadership of Dr. Nancy Gill, Citizens' Advisory Committee member, a task force has been formed to follow up on suggestions made by the Parent Party Patrol at its meeting with the North Mason community last December. The task force, consisting of Dr. Gill, Cami Geyer, Carolyn Ni- col, Pat Degracia and Jeanne Dy- cus, plans to have a family direc- tory available for parents of sixth graders at both Belfair Elementa- ry and Sand Hill Elementary and parents of all Hawkins Middle School students before summer. Information will be sent to par- ents via school newsletters. All who subscribe will be asked to sign a pledge promising not to al- low their children to participate in unchaperoned parties and to do spirit and support garnered from the group. McLeod charges $3 each for the classes, then turns around and donates it all toward some of her favorite charities. She personally bears all expenses. Currently, a third of the in- come goes to the Boys and Girls Club of Mason County, and the other two-thirds to the Kiwanis Club, of which she is president this year. That portion is split, at McLeod's designation, between lo- cal youth services and the Kiwa- nis worldwide service project, which is the plan to eliminate Io- dine Deficiency Disorders (IDD) throughout the world. The exercise class is open to both women and men. Atten- dance ranges between 4 and 12. Newcomers are always welcome, should wear appropriate attire, and bring a mat to put down on the concrete floor. On Saturday night, January 16, more than 150 teenagers at- tended the "White Winter Night" dance at North Mason High School. The event was sponsored by members of the 'Youth With A Voice Keystone Club', which is part of the Boys and Girls Club of Mason County. DJ Forrest Cooper, a graduate of North Mason High, provided the music for the evening. Advisor Ruby Ison thanks members Natalie Krueger, Antho- ny Krueger, Brionna McNamara, Bree Whybark, Jacob Peterson, Jessica Peterson, Inge Fordham, Mallory Smith, Jamie Zirkle, Ben Harris, Nick Harris, Amy Sleight, Melinda Hegtvedt, Andrea Pet- ers, Catherine Gilbert, Jeff Slay- ton, Greg Slayton, Brian Garrett, Keenan Miles, Kris Kiueman, Ali- son Degracia, Leslie Cruz, Lydia Cruz, Abby Werner, Ryan Lowe, State law allows some tax exemptions Washington State law allows certain qualified property owners to be exempt from paying a por- tion of their annual property tax- es on their primary residence. One must be 61 years of age by December 31 of the year in which the exemption is filed, or be un- able to work due to a physical dis- ability. To qualify, the combined household disposable income must be under $30,000 per year. This is not the same figure com- puted for federal income tax pur- poses. Sources of income considered, according to information provided by Dixie Smith, Mason County Assessor, include alimony re- ceived, annuities, business in- come, capital gains, disability payments, dividends, 'interest, IRA distributions, pen§ions, pub- lic assistance, military pay and benefits, Social Security, railroad retirement, rental income, SSI payments, unemployment, veter- ans benefits and wages. Once total income is figured there are certain possible deduc- tions allowed for non-reimbursed nursing home costs, non-reim- bursed in-home care costs, non- reimbursed prescription drugs, alimony paid out, child support paid out, reinvested capitol gains and Social Security or DSHS pay- ments for underage children. Once the total household in- come is figured and the deduc- tions are subtracted, the senior citizen or disabled person who has under $30,000 as their dis- posable income should qualify for the partial tax exemption. For further information or to apply, contact Terri Johansen oI the Mason County Assessor's of- fice at 275-4467 or 427-9670, Ex- tension 499. Tax help available The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) have teamed up to help individuals with their income tax returns. The service is free, and will be given every Tuesday from Febru- ary 9 through April 13 between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. at the North Ma- son Timberland Library. The tax service is done by trained volunteers, according to Ruth Pratt who helps with the project. For assistance, bring a copy of your last year's income tax return, all the W-2, 1099, and 1098 forms that you have re- ceived for 1998, plus any other in- formation necessary to complete your return. The service is intended for in- dividuals of any age, but not for businesses. Paramedics save Marchell's life By LINDA THOMSON Charlie Marchell of Toonerville is recovering nicely from a severe heart attack he suffered on Sun- day, December 20, 1998. He fully credits the emergency personnel of Fire District 2 for saving his life. Marchell was working outdoors with his neighbor when he suf- fered the attack. The neighbor called 911 and seven folks re- sponded. Three of them were Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's), and two of them were paramedics. The others served as back-up. He was transported to Harrison Memorial Hospital in Bremerton and later underwent a five-way by-pass at Tacoma Gen- eral. He is alive today "due to cool heads, professional experience and training" of those who re- sponded, said Marchell. "I want all the credit to go to the firemen. I appreciate what they did." i i BEAUTY SHOP for sale Established Allyn one chair shop needs stylist to take over large friendly clientele, 360-456-5438 (leave name and number) The paramedics who assisted Marchell that day were Andy Graham and Paul Stark. The EMT's were Jake Gillanders, Alexis Vaughn and Mark Visaya, according to Assistant Chief Aar- on Espy, who checked the log for that day. Graham recently re- ceived the North Mason Chamber of Commerce's Valor Award along with several other local firefight- ers. Espy explained that EMT's re- ceive approximately 120 to 140 hours of training in a variety of medical subjects, plus life support procedures.

School back home involves tak- ing more classes, about 10 to 12 per semester, he said, but with far fewer assignments than here. Also back home, the relationship between teachers and students "isn't very good," Zacharias stated bluntly. At North Mason, he finds it more fun, with more classes of- fered than in German schools. He likes the school spirit, like sup- porting sports teams and clubs. Classes he has taken this term were Accounting, U.S. History, Skills for the 21st Century, and Business Communications. Zacharias became an exchange student, he said, "because I want- ed to live for a long period of time in the U.S. I consider this coun- try one of the greatest and want- ed to learn something about the people living here.

"It has been good here, but I look forward to going home," he said. Zacharias has been at North Mason High School since the be- ginning of this school year, leav- ing Monday, January 25, on his return flight. He is 16 years old, and has been a part of the Schmidt family of Belfair, which includes Rik, Terri, and Erik, a 10th grader. Zacharias says he can think pretty well in English, and he is able to communicate, so there has not been too much frustration with the language here. Also Erik can speak German. COMPARING GERMANY to the United States he said, "My home country is much smaller than the U.S. All the cities are close together and there aren't even different time zones.
