CoLa 426-3317 Indian education is subject of meeting A public meeting has been scheduled for 7 p.m. February 6 in the Evergreen School Library to discuss education of Indian children in the Shelton School system. The meeting is being sponsored by the Shelton Indian Parent Committee. On the agenda for the meeting is a report on the Title IV "Educational and Cultural Improvement Program" for the i973-74 and 1974-75 school years and discussion of the plans for the 1975-76 school year. The adequacy of the current program to meet special needs of Indian children and the way in which programs or projects which have been applied for will be coordinated with other programs will also be discussed. Anyone interested is welcome to attend the meeting. By DIANE HUCKS A compliance schedule, requested by the Washington State Water and Waste Unit of the Department of Social and Health Services to upgrade the Hoodsport Water System to minimum state requirements, has not yet been received, according to Mark Spahr, district engineer. Spahr said if a schedule was not received from Jim Dickenson, owner of the system, by the beginning of summer, court action would have to be taken. Spahr added that the unit was not contemplating such action at the present time. He said, "We are in the preliminary stages of notification of deficiencies." Spahr said he was most concerned that the system was chlorinated. However, Don Leaf, inspector from the Thurston-Mason Health District, said he checked the water January 17, and that Dickenson had begun chlorination. Termed "a serious problem" by Spahr is the low water pressure. According to a pressure graph taken January 13 and 14 by Leaf, the pressure dropped below the 20 lbs./sq, in. state minimum level more than 46 times. Spahr said improvement needed to take place immediately for public health reasons. The danger of low pressure is that it could cause back siphonage into the system resulting in water contamination, Leaf ~aid. Spahr recalled complaints from citizens last summer reporting low water pressure and in some instances, no pressure at all. Dickenson, stating that the property is for sale, said, "The matter is between the state and myself, l'm taking care of it to the best of my ability." He had no further comment. Vic Bailey and Bill Petty, looking into purchasing the system, have given earnest money to Dickenson with arrangements to be finalized by March 1. Bailey said, "We are going to do our best in the next couple of weeks to find out if it's something we can handle. 1 honestly don't see a profit in 10 or 15 years." appear Three persons appeared in Mason County Superior Court Friday morning to enter pleas to Assault charges are filed (Continued from page one.) Whitcomb to ask for a reduction in the $5,000 bail or release on personal recognizance. Deputy Prosecutor Gary Burleson told the court the prosecutor's office would resist the bail reduction because of the serious nature of the charges against Peden and because Peden has a drinking problem. Judge Doran denied the motion for reduction in bail and asked Whitcomb to check into the possibility of getting Peden into an in-residence alcohol rehabilitation program. The judge said if entry into such a program could be arranged, the question could be brougl~ back before the court and that release on personal recognizance into that kind of program would probably be approved. in court criminal charges against them. Vernon E. Johnson, 58, pleaded not guilty to grand larceny charges. He is accused, in information filed in the case by the prosecuting attorney's office, of obtaining more than $4,000 in welfare payments by false statements involving his eligibility. He is represented by Don Taylor, Olympia attorney. Judge Gerry Alexander, who heard Johnson's not guilty plea, ordered trial of the case to be set within 90 days. Pleading not guilty to grand larceny charges involving taking a motor bike were Keith Antonsen and Rick Miklethun. They appeared with their attorney, Gerald Whitcomb, Shelton. They are accused of taking a motor bike belonging to Edward Hibbert last August 30. Judge Alexander ordered trial of the case within 90 days. -Anxious rote The natural role of twentieth-century man is anxiety. Norman Mailer Feeling that improving the system may be financially overwhelming, Bailey mentioned the existence of public funding for improvement of publicly-owned water systems which are not available to private systems. Bailey said, "If we can't see light at the end of the tunnel, we'l! have to walk away from it. Otherwise we'll do our best to help the Dickensons create a public system." Les Hein, manager of PUD 1, said the PUD commissioners had been approached two or three years ago by members of the community requesting that the PUD buy the water system. After researching the situation, the community found it would be too expensive in taxes or assessments to improve the system and then dropped its proposal. Hein said that since that time, state Referendum 27 had been passed which provides funding for improvements of publicly-owned water systems. He added that because the county is authorized to own water systems, it would also qualify for funding and could be approached by the community. Assuming the community was not aware of this available money, Hein explained the only possible way the PUD could buy the system was to be petitioned by the public to do so. The process legally necessary, he explained, is to have a majority of the community submit a petition which would necessitate a study of the system and a proposal by the PUD. The PUD would then hold a public hearing presenting this information. If a majority of the community was still in favor of public ownership, the PUD would buy the property. Hein said, "We wouldn't do so unless we could improve the system up to state standards," but added, "the PUD would qualify for loans or an outright grant." l Conventional cooking, a stay-clean, power-vented oven, and authentic Char-Flavor indoor grilling .... all in one compact unit that vents itself.
