DRAGON MASKS MADE a fashion statement at the Imagination Station
of Pioneer School. Students have been studying Asian culture.
Hearings are set
on urban growth
Planning for future residential,
commercial and industrial growth
for the Shelton area will continue
with an open-house presentation
of the latest version of the Shelton
Urban Growth Area at 6 p.m. to-
day in the city's William G. Reed
Library.
Residents of the city and county
will hear explanations of changes
in the south-county Urban Growth
Area, or UGA, at this evening's
presentation. They can comment
publicly at a joint hearing of the
Mason County Board of Commis-
sioners and the Shelton City Com-
mission on March 13 and at a City
of Shelton hearing March 19.
County and city commission-
ers got a look at amended UGA
maps in a work session Tuesday
afternoon with Shelton Director
of Community and Economic De-
velopment Steve Goins and Lisa
Greer of Jones and Stokes, the con-
sulting firm preparing the maps
and documents for the city.
ESTABLISHED IN 1995, the
original Shelton UGA extends be-
yond the city limits and includes
some 5,200 acres of non-city land
identified as areas where such ur-
ban services as water and sewer
might reasonably be extended in
the future. It provides for a popu-
lation of about 13,000.
Under the state's Growth Man-
agement Act, the city must show
how population growth for the
coming 20 years can be accommo-
dated. That growth is currently
projected as the addition of 10,500
new persons between 2005 and
2025.
Greer emphasized that inclu-
sion in the UGA doesn't imply an-
nexation, which must be request-
ed by the owners of the property
involved.
She told the gathered commis-
sioners that some of the changes

lessons for the students using lit-

them about the culture of China.
"Asian people believe that the
Year of the Golden Pig will bring
them much good luck and fortune,"
stated Mrs. McGovern. "As a mat-
ter of fact, many people plan the
birth of their children during this
special year."
The children used various mate-
rials toward the end of their stud-
ies of Asian culture by making a
three-dimensional mask of a drag-
on, another symbol of good luck
and fortune whose myths go back
thousands of years. Assisting with

to consider establishing an impact-

"Our buildings are full," Zook
told the commissioners. "If all
the developments we have seen
proposed come to be, we'll have
1,000 more students. The state
provides no funding for projected
enrollment when it matches bond
revenues. They only pay to house
the unhoused. We have to buy por-

said. "And there is no state fund-
