School Board Chairperson
Putvin. She's seen a good
of community enthusiasm for
she said. "We did four
of telephoning from Our
Community Credit Union down-
town, and we had a lot of positive
response. We did some sign-hold-
ing at the Agate Store here and at
Deer Creek, and there were a lot of
thumbs-up responses.
SHE SAID THE school has been
reaching out to the wider commu-
nity in a number of ways, including
the establishment of a community
foundation, the hosting of com-
puter classes, and having the gym-
nasium available to the public for
sports and as a Red Cross Center
during recent power outages.
"We'd like to make more area
available to the community," she
said, "and have a place with tables
and a kitchen where people could
host a party or a quilting class."
Parrett added that bond pro-
ponents have visited the commu-
nity organizations at Timberlakes,
Harstine Island, Shorecrest and
Lake Limerick, introducing the
new superintendent and talking
about district needs and plans. "We
just want everybody's support,"
Parrett said.
"I think the people we've talked
to - I worked on other bonds and
levies - are willing to support edu-
cation," Parrett said. I just came
back from two days in Olympia,
and the governor says she hopes to
fund full-time kindergarten. That's
a big thing for us. We're running a
trial program with one class this
year, and we hope to offer a full
program next year.

(Continued from page 3.)
in the course of developing the
maps and designations came from
a need to reduce the proportion of
land designated as residential in
accordance with the county's pro-
jection of population growth.
FINE-TUNED ON the latest
maps, and the subject of discus-
sion at the work session, was a
northeast boundary area along
Johns Creek. Moving the bound-
ary away from the critical area
along the stream meant using a
road as a boundary, a practice
questioned by County Commis-
sioner Tim Sheldon.
The planners noted that one
of the goals of the UGA revisions
was to reduce split parcels which
would put part of a landowner's
property in the urban growth area
and leave part outside it.
County commissioners Lynda
Ring-Erickson and Ross Gallagher
raised questions about a proposed
urban reserve, an area west of the
Washington Corrections Center
and extending south to Goldsbor-
ough Creek. While not included
in the UGA, the reserve would be
identified as land which might lat-
er be incorporated for residential,
industrial or commercial designa-
tion. Ring-Erickson worried that
such a designation might be an
invitation for a lawsuit.
The Shelton Timberland Li-
brary, where the plan will be aired
today, is located at Seventh and Al-
der streets in downtown Shelton.
"SUPERINTENDENT Dan
Winter," Parrett added, "has done
an excellent job of helping put to-
gether a plan that will cost taxpay-
ers less than previous plans that
have come up for election. "The
committee feels more positive this
time," he said. "It's past the point
of needing to be done."
Pioneer School serves the area
that includes Lake Limerick, the
Agate and Pickering areas, the
north end of Oakland Bay, Timber-
lakes, Spencer and Phillips lakes
and Harstine Island.

achievement program in so short

Personal Progress is a goal-set-
ting program that is implemented
throughout the Church of Jesus
Christ for young women ages 12
to 18. It gives them activities to do
that will help develop personal re-
ligious behaviors, such as prayer,
scripture study and service. Addi-
tionally, the teens have opportuni-
ties to develop talents and skills
and establish a pattern of step-by-
step progress that they can use to
achieve goals in the future.
