"The pressures and distresses our youth are confronted with every day demand a great deal of attention. When was the last time you actually listened to your child? Chances are you didn't have much time to listen. I see a tendency on the part of parents to exercise control and discipline rather than spend the time to listen and understand. I believe this to be a combination of factors involving social, economic and political realities of our present-day society. "The family unit has changed dramatically in the past 50 years. We must accept the fact that perhaps demands placed on us as adults make it difficult for us to devote as much time and attention to our children as we would like to, or that is needed. For this reason we must recognize the need for full-time professional people who specialize in working with young people. "It is not that we have failed as parents, although we must accept part of the responsibility. With urbanization, the growth of population centers, world and national events which are reported to us instantaneously, liberalized attitudes toward sex and marriage, experimenting with drugs, and a variety of other changes that you and I could both add to this brief list, the reality is that the world has changed and we must adapt." reques Thursday, February 20, 1975 Eighty-ninth Year, Number 8 4 Sections- 32 Pages 15 Cents Per Copy m Darrell Klein, manager of the Hy-Lond Retirement Inn, plans to appeal to the Shelton city commission a unanimous decision Tuesday night by the planning commission to reject a requested variance decreasing the number of parking stalls at the inn. The variance was requested by Klein to make space for a senior citizens' park in the lot with eight remaining stalls and had been recommended by the planning commission to the city commission in December. Later, however, both commissions found that the planning commission had had the authority to make the final decision. With that responsibility, the planning commission decided to take a closer look at the situation. At Tuesday's meeting, Howard Godat, city engineer, presented a recommendation on behalf of the engineering department to deny the variance. He said, "Our department has looked long and hard at the problem. Twenty-one stalls are already under the required number (of 48 for the Hy-Lond). If you decrease the number from 48 to eight, I could find little defense for the zoning ordinance. kept at the Meil Chevrolet garage, Klein said. Also, at Tuesday's meeting, he announced that the rental of stalls to Shelton Hardware had been recently discontinued. Previously classed as a boarding house for the elderly, the Hy-Lond is now licensed a Robert A. Fredrickson, 20, Hoodsport, was arrested by Mason County sheriff's deputies Monday evening on a charge of second degree burglary. Sheriff's officers said he was arrested in connection with a burglary of the Endicott Realty office in Hoodsport. The burglary was reported to the sheriff's office Monday morning and an "congregate care facility" by the state. Even though this classification is defined in part as a boarding home, no specific designation is included in the Shelton zoning ordinance for group homes for the elderly. Clint Wiliour, secretary of the planning commission, said, "We investigation started then. Officers said a window in the southwest comer of the building was broken out to gain entrance. A radio and some change was taken in the burglary. Fredrickson was arrested shortly before midnight Monday and was booked into the county jail without bail pending filing of formal charges against him.

The vacation of a strip of property along Highway 101 for PUD 3 in the vicinity of their warehouse was approved after a hearing at which no one appeared to object to or in support of the request. A letter received from Alice Dielle objecting to granting a request to turn part of the Hy-Lond parking lot into a park was received and referred to the planning commission which was holding a hearing on the proposal Tuesday evening.

Godat defended the denial by saying. "We don't like to take the role of denying anything, especially because we need parks. But the relevant question here is the number of parking stalls." In defense of his proposed reduction, Klein has maintained that the lot is used very little by those connected with Hy-Lond. He has said that at most, three employees and occasional visitors to Hy-Lond use the lot.

Suggesting that perhaps the zoning ordinance is outdated, Godat recommended that Klein write a letter to the city commission requesting a revision in the ordinance to make allowances for situations of this kind. Wednesday, Klein said he planned to take the request to the nex t meeting of the city commission on Tuesday. He said, "I'm going to carry this thing as far as ! can carry it. I'm not going to quit." In the meantime, Klein said, he will fence the lot allowing only employees and visitors of Hy-Lond to park there. He said, "I enjoy these old people.
