Don't cheat Pioneer children

Editor, The Journal:
This March 13, the Pioneer
School District will have a school
bond on the ballot. I am thrilled to
vote "yes."
Our children are so excited
to start school, and the primary
building is a warm and inviting en-
vironment. They go to school there
from kindergarten to third grade.
In fburth grade, they are moved to
a portable building that is old and
in serious need of replacement.
When you walk on those portable
floors, the whole building shakes
and the noise of each step is am-
plified.
The school building has been
puzzled together with a shoe-
string budget as cheaply as pos-
sible over the last half-century
with the main building dating
back to 1952, when Truman was
President. Our lives have changed
dramatically since those days,
but the school has not. Comput-
ers are connected with unsightly
wires mounted on walls. Schools
today have to be secure from any
possible threat ranging from an
uninvited guest to a parental ab-
duction. Modern schools are built
with a main entrance, to screen
as well as welcome visitors. Pio-
neer is not safe, because there are
several ways to enter the school
without the administration's
knowledge.
A worst-case scenario might be
a class being held at gunpoint with
no way to notify anyone for help.
Of course this sounds absurd,
because they didn't have school
shootirgs back in the 1950s. Sev-
eral classrooms have heaters
placed right by the door, the only
exit. A fire could break out in an
electrical heater. The only way
out would be to break the window
with a chair, but don't worry, the
single-pane windows were made
to be broken, and they are low for
easy access. Can you imagine try-
ing to evacuate 30 frantic children
through broken glass?
It is also important to talk about
the leaky roof. The ceiling tiles
have disintegrated and exposed
the attic area due to constant rain
damage on several occasions. Wa-
ter is collected in 35-gallon trash
cans. We can only imagine the
black mold that has multiplied
over the years affecting the aller-
gies and asthma victims alike.
And what about the cafeteria?
They don't have a real kitchen, and
the eating area was just recently
reduced to add classroom space.
How they are able to accommodate
a population of some 500 students
is a miracle of pure necessity. Re-
cently playground equipment was
removed, because it was too old and
falling apart. Students leaving the
third grade may have good reason
to be depressed having come from
a beautiful, fun and safe play area
to arrive at a dismal blacktop with
old, outdated and missing equip-
ment.
So why has this happened? In
1992, a school bond was passed for
$5.3 million to build Pioneer Pri-
Bill in Senate

Anything could happen, though
it seems nothing different does.
This just leaked from the top of
a hill:
The small principality of "Ken-
nybunkport," somewhere in the
Northeast Atlantic and currently
under the protection of the U.S. of
A., may be under the threat of be-
ing democratized due to a possible
shift in power.
It could be rumored that "the
"House of Saud" may be currently
considering a binding resolution
to unilaterally invade and occupy
this nervous, tiny principality.
Should this move .prove to be
successful the entire "House of
Bush" could be exiled there per-
manently, thus removing, forever,
the threat of them being democ-
ratized and securing their perma-
nent source of fossil fuels.
Another small principality, also
currently under the protection of
the U.S. of A., would naturally
have to remain under that "pro-
tection" and could p)ssibly be con-
sidered as the Crawford National
Monument honoring the "collater-
al" cost of the ongoing democratiz-
ing of a small but dangerous coun-
try located far, far to the east.

Editpr, The Journal:
Isn't it a kick watching local
Democrats flounder around, trying
to hang a label on Tim Sheldon? .
Is he a Republican in Democrat
clothes or what? They (Democrats)
cannot see the forest for all the
trees that have been cut down.
t's simply this: Tim Sheldon is
a member of the "Developer Party"
and is sitting in two seats in Dem-
ocrat clothing. Developer Party
members are not in the business
of protecting a community. They
are in the business of exploitation.
Their job is to divert taxes into de-
veloper pockets and condemn and
destroy existing rural homes and
properties, since in their mind ru-
ral homes and properties are just
trash in the way of developers.
Under "rural economic develop-
ment," the Developer Party has
more taxes, and we will all get to
live in trash like those in Seattle
and Tacoma.
Wouldn't it be something, Mr.
Editor, if we had elected officials
that actually want to make Mason
County better, instead of just big-
ger?

mary School. In the last 14 years
several school bonds have been
attempted, and all have failed!
Worse is that each year the cost of
a new building goes up dramati-
cally. The Shelton School District
has been able to pass bonds and
improve their schools. They have
a tax base of approximately $800
million and pay $5.46 per $1,000
in property value. The Pioneer
School District has a tax base of
approximately $800 million, and
property owners pay about $2.55
per $1,000. Pioneer has'a tax base
comparable to Shelton's, yet we
disproportionately pay only 46.7
percent in comparison. Why are
we cheating our children and their
future?
Many people complain about
taxes, but it is the cost we must
pay to make our lives better and
safer. We all agree we need a fire
department, and with that neces-
sity we must also foot the bill.
Don't we also need good schools?
This new bond will increase our
taxes to about $3.33 per $1,000,
which will still be 61 percent of
the taxes paid by Shelton School
District citizens. We must share
the burden of working hard to
make our children's lives better.
Passing a school bond is a major
step in the right direction. Our
community will be growing in the
next five years, and this tax re-
sponsibility will be gradually re-
duced as our population increas-

the March 13 ballot.

Editor, The Journal:
I see Dwight Pelz's state party
is upset with its voters over the
loss (failure) Kyle Taylor Lucas
produced in the state Senate pri-
mary. Those are voters exercis-
ing their rights and personal view
and judgment. You're scolding in-
telligent citizens when you spew
your displeasure about election
results.
Apparently voters aren't im-
pressed with Lucas. She had all
the opportunities, appearances,
column space and campaign time
to make use of. It's pretty clear
out there that a small number of
special-interest groups mounted
an effort through Lucas to acquire
that Democratic Senate seat. That
only works if you have a good can-
didate; it's not the voters' fault.
Then I read in this Pelz article
that his party is upset at State
Senator Sheldon for showing brav-
ery and recognizing Mason Coun-
ty citizens as a whole regardless of
party, when Governor Gregoire is
on TV explaining a choice or deci-
sion to the state, she's working for
and talking to the entire state, not
one party. Mr. Pelz is doing him-
self and his party a disservice in
revealing that he has disregard
for views other than his personal
goals and desires.
Tim Sheldon is guilty of work-
ing for all his "constituents." He
is doing his job. Sorry, he's not
Mr. Pelz's puppet. Thank God
that voters choose officeholders.
When this system is working at
its best you'll see bipartisanship
is needed. These presidential
candidates are describing daily
the need for it.
Tim Sheldon's record and re-
sults are commendable. I'd like
Mr. Pelz to out himself entirely

Then I read in this Pelz article
that his party is upset at State
Senator Sheldon for showing brav-
ery and recognizing Mason Coun-
ty citizens as a whole regardless of
party, when Governor Gregoire is
on TV explaining a choice or deci-
sion to the state, she's working for
and talking to the entire state, not
one party. Mr. Pelz is doing him-
self and his party a disservice in
revealing that he has disregard
for views other than his personal
goals and desires.
Tim Sheldon is guilty of work-
ing for all his "constituents." He
is doing his job. Sorry, he's not
Mr. Pelz's puppet. Thank God
that voters choose officeholders.
When this system is working at
its best you'll see bipartisanship
is needed. These presidential
candidates are describing daily
the need for it.
Tim Sheldon's record and re-
sults are commendable. I'd like
Mr. Pelz to out himself entirely
