Letters to the editor ... Time for bypass is now Editor, The Herald: This is an important phase of the Belfair Bypass process. We've all had time to hear about the $2-billion state budget sur- plus for this year and this is as good an opportunity as we're go- ing to get in securing the fund- ing for this LONG OVERDUE project. Now it's important that peo- ple make an effort to contact our 35th Legislative District repre- sentatives - Haigh, Eickmeyer and Sheldon - and the Washing- ton State Department of Trans- portation (WSDOT) leadership. Get on the Web site for WSDOT and look into the bypass. Look at how much growth and traffic has occurred in just the last ten years. Try to picture what situ- ation we'll be facing in five or ten more years at that rate. How about when the Tacoma Nar- rows Bridge tolls start or when the Hood Canal Bridge has clo- sures? One bad mishap on State Route 3 puts traffic at a stop, up to the airport or worse. To "Shop Local" requires Evel Knievel's driving skills. Holding Easter egg hunts alongside a state high- way - that's crazy! United States Congressman Norm Dicks lives here, for crying out loud. If these elected officials really care about the elderly, children, town life and the general voting population, then there should be one answer they'll have for us: Safety First, Bypass Now. We deserve an answer SOON. All this care and concern fbr Hood Canal, salmon, stormwater run- off, etc., when the present State Route 3 situation should come first. This project can't wait to be put off until a tragic accident happens directly in front of a school. WSDOT held a very im- pressive presentation several weeks back at the Theler Center. Many state projects and agencies are very clear on the opportunity at hand with the $2-billion state budget surplus this year. Don't let this timing and these elected officials slip by on this vital proj- ect. Don't let it slide away into artwork out in front of a state prison. Maybe we'll invite the news channels out here to film these unbearable conditions and high rate of wrecks in this up-and- coming part of North Mason County. It's bottlenecked State Route 3: what a showpiece, "Shop Local" environment. There's no hope of becoming a Port Orchard with a Bay Street or Old Town Poulsbo as it ex- ists presently. Don't fall asleep, folks, get the highway out of town; it rules our town and lives. If they've got money to build a "new" ferry boat for an island with 280 people on it, we sure ought to be able to make this happen. Craig Mann Belfair Get pets spayed, neutered Editor, The Herald: February 27 was National Spay Day. To celebrate, many rescue groups and shelters are offering special low-cost spay/ neuter help throughout Febru- ary and March. Now is the time to get your cat spayed or neutered. It will add years to your cat's life and will save other cats' lives. Please spay or neuter now before more unwanted litters of kittens are born. For every kitten born another cat will be abandoned, abused, neglected or euthanized because there are too many. Don't allow-your cat to have even one litter. There aren't enough homes for all the home- less cats now. Don't add more cats to suffer an unknown fate. If you are feeding a stray or feral cat, thank you! But please act now to make sure they are all spayed or neutered. Don't wait until the kittens are born; stop the overpopulation now. There's no excuse not to alter your cat. People who allow their cats to have kittens are the rea- son that cats are still being eu- thanized for lack of homes. Cats can be safely spayed when in heat or while pregnant, and kittens can be altered when they reach two pounds in weight (at 8 to 9 weeks old). Please help the cats and spay or neuter you cats now!
