I00eaders' 00ournai: Pioneer failure
County is trying Editor, The Journal. served in three wars.
Editor, The Journal:
Much of what has been written
in the paper (including letters to
the editor) concerning Mason
County and its actions toward the
Growth Management Act (GMA)
may leave much of the populace
believing that the county is doing
little to comply with this state
law. This impression is very
wrong. Since this law was passed
about 10 years ago, the county
has been working diligently in
time, money and effort to comply.
This law was written in order
to protect various types of land
and resources. It was designed to
be a "grass roots" effort for the
citizens of each county which
qualified as to population and/or
growth rate to plan their growth
in order to protect those ele-
ments. The county commissioners
formed an ad hoc committee in
about 1990 of about 30 citizens
representing as many different
factions and geographic areas
within the county. They also
hired a consultant to help guide
the ad hoc committee to reach
compliance with the law while at
the same time developing a plan
that might be unique to Mason
County.
This committee went to various
parts of the county gathering in-
formation of local citizens. They
developed several drafts. A so-
called Draft 7 was presented to
the citizens of Mason County
again in several locations within
the county. The citizens at each of
the locations were very unhappy
with the plan. The prevailing feel-
ing was that this law did not suf-
ficiently protect the rights of
property owners and was too re-
strictive.
Back to the drawing board. The
ad hoc committee was expanded
to include planning commission
members, county commissioners
and other interested citizens, to
develop the county comprehen-
sive plan. The real dilemma is not
necessarily just protecting the
elements in the GMA, but rather
determining the level of protec-
tion that the citizens of our coun-
ty feel is necessary and/or appro-
priate. The county commissioners
have a very difficult job trying to
arrive at the level of protection.
As an example, how extensive
should stream buffers be in order
to give adequate protection of the
creeks and streams of Mason
County? Some people think we
need 200 feet on each side of a
Class 5 stream which by defini-
tion has no fish, flows only during
the wet season and may be less
than 18 inches wide. Larger
streams to have wider buffers.
Similarly, if an individual
started a business operating from
his home with one or two em-
ployees and it gradually got larg-
er with more employees progress-
ing to his garage and then struc-
tural additions to his garage, at
what point is this enterprise not
considered a small business?
When must he close his facilities
and move to the industrial area in
the Shelton or Belfair urban
growth area? The level of enforce-
ment again is key.
Unfortunately, after the county
goes through the very public pro-
cess of reaching a level of protec-
tion, any one citizen can appeal
that decision to the Western
Washington Growth Management
Hearings Board which, so far, is
interpreting the law very restric-
tively and does not weigh the
level of public support (as do the
commissioners).
The hearings board members
are appointed by the governor, do
not live in our county, and we
have no avenue to them or their
decisions, except through the
courts. Last year, the state legis-
lature amended the law to tell the
hearings board that they must
give deference to the county plan
unless a gross error or omission
could be identified. The hearings
board is apparently ignoring this
amendment and continues to
hand down rulings that insist
upon very restrictive interpreta-
tions of the law. This is a clear in-
dication that they are operating
beyond the intent of the law.
I have just learned via the In-
ternet that what appears to be a
small segment of our citizens has
received a $10,000 grant from the
Bullitt Foundation to support le-
gal fes associated with legal ac-
tion against Mason County
(info@bullit.org). How unfor-
tunate that this small group with
big money from outside the coun-
ty along with a very restrictive
hearings board can dictate regu-
lations with which the majority of
our county citizens do not seem
' toagree. , ........
Yes, the county commissioners
can raise a "white flag" and yield
to highly restrictive regulations
in order to achieve compliance,
but would the majority of county
citizens be happy? Therein lies
the dilemma of county officials as
they try to work to reach com-
pliance with GMA and to pre-
serve some of our private proper-
ty rights.

Don't want mine
Editor, The Journal:
BB&R Partnership (Brix Liv-
ing Trust, John A. and Jean
Bishop, Paul E. Reid Estate) and
Alpine Evergreen Company, In-
corporated are proposing to create
a mining pit out of 153 acres of
our Mason County category 1
wetlands, in near proximity to
residential neighborhoods and a
small area lake. The fact that our.
county officials are even consider-
ing the proposal is deplorable.
We as residents of the Johns
Creek community, do not want to
see the project.
In a county planning document
that outlines areas of environ-
mental concern, it is clearly
stated that the impact of this
project on groundwater both in-
side and beyond the site bounda-
ries are a profound risk for the
residents of this area, which lies
adjacent to and immediately
south of McEwan Prairie Road,
west of Oakes Road and near to
Rex Lake.
Our water systems and our
land lie within a highly critical
aquifer recharge area as defined
nance. In order to protect the
public health and safety, prevent
the degradation of groundwater
aquifers used for potable water
and to provide for regulations
that prevent and control risks to
the degradation of groundwater
aquifers, Mason County has
adopted standards for develop-
ment in those parts of the county
which have been identified as
critical aquifer recharge areas.
This is according to Pam Bennett-
Cumming, Mason County land-
use planner, in a letter written to
Susan Postma dated March 21,
1997.
Creating a "pit" and allowing
mining in this area will have dev-
astating effects on our water sup-
ply and air quality and on wild-
life. Not to mention the added
traffic, noise and the threat of
pollutants, the quality of our
neighborhoods and the safety of
our children must be considered.
Restrictions on use or altera-
tion of this site must be adhered
to as the project site has now
been determined to contain cate-
gory 1 wetlands and these wet-
Pioneer School District's bond
failure by just 10 votes has
prompted some limited research
on the cause of its failure. Even
when one allows for the "bad
weather" that characterized that
election day, there is no legiti-
mate excuse for its failure. It
becomes increasingly apparent
that the absentee ballot voters
have had a major impact on the
bond's failure. Absentee ballots
for the most part are used by vot-
ers not wishing to brave the incle-
ment weather, or are homebound
through illness.
Many of the seniors using the
absentee ballots are "snowbirds"
who apparently vote "no" and
leave for warmer climates. There
is certainly nothing wrong with
avoiding bad weather but avoid-
ing one's community responsibili-
ty is another matter. An early is-
sue of the absentee ballot prior to
the voting day does not provide
the voter the necessary informa-
tion he needs for the bond's sup-
port. Community responsibility
and service doesn't end with re-
tirement. For the reader's infor-
mation the writer of this article is
chronologically in his late 70s and
a wounded combat veteran who
The bottom line reality for
Pioneer's bond issue voters is:
• A previous generation helped
pay for our education and another
generation for our children and
grandchildren. This is the old
adage of "What comes around
goes around."
• If Pioneer School District
does not build a high school at
this time the non- or negative vot-
ers default to Shelton for a school
in which they will have no admin-
istrative or curriculum control.
The user tax will be greater than
building a high school in the
Pioneer School District which the
Pioneer School District voters will
eventually be forced to do. This
means that we will be building
two high schools at twice the cost
to the taxpayer.
• The need is critical, a build-
ing site is available, interest rates
are low, the factored cost of new
construction is lower than the
majority of school districts in
Washington State thanks to the
competence and administrative
skills of Pioneer's school superin-
tendent, board and staff.

Editor, The Journal:
Well, here we are, another leg-
islative session, and just what are
our legislators doing to fulfill
their campaign promises?
Representative Eickmeyer and
Representative Haigh have had
the distinction of being mentioned
on KMAS as introducing legisla-
tion that will bring jobs to the ru-
ral county by channeling funds to
the economic development coun-
cil. Senator Tim Sheldon is the di-
rector of that entity so I am sure
he will be supportive.
However, will money from one
bureaucracy to another create
new jobs? And just where are the
jobs that need to be created?
As a tax accountant, I can tell
you that approximately 75 per-
cent of .all,the W.- foTms:that
were m ajed ,by a.aTy. 31 ,cae
'rom small businesses -business-
es that employ less than 100 peo-
ple. So, if your legislators want to
help the local economy they will
support small-business legisla-
tion.
Guess what? Democrats do not
typically support small business;
Republicans do. Here in Mason
County there has been a less-
than-typical reality.
Senator Brad Owen, now lieu-
tenant governor, was a great sup-
porter of small business as is the
current Senator Tim Shelton.
Senator Sheldon's voting record
on small-business issues is 100
percent in line with the recom-
mended position of Independent
Business Association, IBA, a
small-business lobby.
I saw the Democratic central
committee chose Lena Swanson
over Tim Sheldon in the election
of 1997. Now that is the Demo-
cratic party. We saw, however,
that Mason County voters elected
Tim Sheldon. Good move if you
want to help small business.
Now we have a new year with
the Democrats in power. Just how
supportive of small business will
our representatives be in Olym-
pia? Well, on February 9, IBA,
that lobby for small business,
held their 10th annual legislative
rally in Olympia. At the end of
the day there was a reception
held in the Legislative Building
'dtid aI[ the members of both
House and Senate were invited to
meet with their constituents.
Guess who didn't come? Kathy
Haigh and Bill Eickmeyer. Well,
perhaps they were in a committee
meeting.
I'm going to wait until the ses-
sion is over and check their voting
records. You see, in the campaign
one can say they are supportive of
small business and the rural
economy, but let's see if they
know how to vote in keeping with
the voters and not the party line.
