Local residents are encouraged
to voice their opinions on rural is-
sues at a listening forum set for 7
o'clock tonight at Memorial Hall
in Shelton.
Jim Lowery, executive director
of the Washington State Rural
Development Council that is hold-
ing the forum, says the purpose is
"to allow opportunity for rural
residents to state their thoughts
and concerns about rural issues."
His organization, a public-pri-
vate collaborative initiative,
works daily with state and feder-
al agencies as an advocate for ru-
ral communities, Lowery said.
"We recognize," he said in his in-
vitation to the public, "that the
most important input on these is-
sues comes from community
members themselves, and if we
are to be an advocacy organiza-
tion, we need to hear from you,
your friends and neighbors."
The format will enable people
to air what they believe are the
most critical issues for rural com-
munities. The issues will be post-
ed on flip-chart sheets. "At the
end of the evening, each person in
attendance will be given three
dots to stick next to the issues
they believe rank as the top three
priorities," Lowery said. "This in-
formation will be used when
speaking with federal and state
agency representatives, elected
officials and urban organiza-
tions."
The Rural Development Coun-
cil, Lowery said, produced the
Streamline Planning Guide for
rural communities, a report on
WorkFirst issues, and a pilot tele-
communications project in Klicki-
tat County. Business climate for-
ums are planned for small towns
around the state to share stories
of successes and obstacles.
Lowery, a former mayor of
Shelton, says he looks forward to
returning to hear from area resi-
dents. He will lead the meeting

WASHINGTON STATE PATROL
reports
'rhe 1999 year-to-date total
for traffic deaths investigated
by the Washington State Pa-
trol in Mason County is 2. The
date of the last traffic death
was February l, 1999. In com-
parison, the 1998 traffic death
total fi)r the same time period
was 2,
ment at the February 24 meeting
of the port commission. He said
the company has promised to
wire the money to Shelton once
officials receive the proper docu-
ments.
The delivery of the funds may
be the closing chapter in a years-
long saga involving the port and
the Japanese firm. The company
wanted to lease 100 acres at the
Johns Prairie Industrial Park but
decided not to do so after an unfa-
vorable ruling by the Olympic Air
Pollution Control Authority.
BEFORE THAT, the port
and the company had agreed to
split the costs of various pollution
tests required for the deal. The
$25,000 is less than the $66,000
the port had hoped to get but
more than the $19,000 Hokushin
offered to pay a few months ago.
Mary Faughender applauded
Commissioner Rose Nye for
speaking out against acceptance
of the lower offer. "I just want to
commend Commissioner Nye for
continuing to put that in front of
this commission," he said.
After much hemming, hawing
and testing of the permit-process-
ing climate in the loal area, He-
ing an executive session held be-
fore the business meeting. The
commissioners were continuing to
interview finalists for the position
of managing director of the port.
Port attorney Rick Hess said
he hoped to present the commis-
sion with a signed lease agree-
ment with Olympic Tool some-
time this week. Still at issue was
whether the lease would be for
two or three years.
Eveleth said discussions con-
tinue on a plan to lease part of
the Moose Hall at Sanderson
Field to the Washington Depart-
ment of Natural Resources. He
said the state officials have the
lease documents and that it's now
up to them to return them to the
port.
THE COMMISSION voted
3-0 to direct Eveleth to move
ahead with the purchase of a
$14,000 electric-powered lift
truck. There is $20,000 in the
budget for the purchase.
Auditor George Fox gave a
brief report on the state excise
tax. This requires the port to col-
lect as a tax 12.84 percent of
gross receipts on the rental of any
real property, including vending
