GEORGE LEMAGIE, left, president of the Shelton Rotary
Club, welcomes Susan Rogers as an exchange student here
from Australia. She arrived last week and attended her first
Rotary meeting last Thursday.
an g
Susan Rogers, a student from
Australia, arrived here Sunday to
begin a one-year stay as a Rotary
International Exchange Student.
She is making her first home
with the Jim Batstone family and
will live with three other families
in the area during her stay here.
She started attending classes
at Shelton High School
Wednesday.
The exchange student says she
was having a little problem
adjusting to the weather, since
when she left her home in
Australia it was the middle of the
summer and the temperature was
around 100 degrees.
Miss Rogers lives in East
Heights Ipswich, Queensland,
Australia, with her mother, three
brothers and a sister.
She says her ambition is to
study medicine. She lists as her
hobbies horseback riding, tennis,
squash, theatre and concerts.
Loggers, protect your
equipment.

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."

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~

ordered trial of the case to be set
within 90 days.

Judge Alexander ordered trial
of the case within 90 days.

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."
