Port commission
(Continued from page one.)
Allyn Port, would remain in the
present district while all
properties would become a part
of the regional district.
It was felt by the Port District
members that the bill would be
business-oriented and would not
provide for launching ramps,
docks and other recreational
facilities. The secretary was
directed to write a letter to the
Washington Public Ports
Association and to
Representatives Savage and
Conner and Senator Sandison,
objecting to the bill.
In other business, letters were
written to the Cotton
Corporation regarding their
failure to remove the oyster shells
near the Allyn dock as they had
agreed to do. Consideration of the
port comprehensive plan was
postponed because of the absence
of the engineer. It is believed by
the commissioners that a public
meeting should be held on the
comprehensive plan before it is
adopted.
The request of Harold Hayes,
dock caretaker, for a written
ordinance for the dock was
deemed impractical at this time
and the port would continue to
rely on the rules posted at the
dock and the sheriff's office in
case of serious trouble.

School authorities
concerned over cuts
if April 8 levy fails
Considerable time was spent
at last week's meeting of the
North Mason school directors in
discussing the consequences to
the local schools if the Apr. 8 levy
request is turned down by the
voters. Cuts from staff, programs
and supplies, which would have to
be made to operate without levy
funds, were outlined in last
week's issue of the Herald. It is
expected that almost half of the
teachers would have to go and the
superintendent, Norm Sanders,
stated that serious consideration
would have to be given to double
shifting if the levy fails.
At one point, Principal Ken
Anderson said, "It is my personal
opinion that if the levy fails the
cuts will affect the level of
education so seriously that it
won,t be worth operating the
schools." Others in the audience
stated that they felt many
taxpayers did not realize that the
levy request, although higher than
last year because the state has
included more sources of local
school revenue in the equalization
formula which spreads the money
to all school districts, will be only
$1.42 more per thousand'dollar
evaluation of property than what
taxpayers were assessed this year
for the school levy. It was pointed
out that special levies are for one
year only and have to be voted on
each year. The levy approved last
year was for the 1975 tax
statement only, although some of
the money will be used for the
1975-76 school year because it
will not be collected until after
the 1974-75 school year ends
June 30.
In other board business: The
superintendent stated that the
deadline had passed for Mr. and
Mrs. Larry Chilton to appeal
through the courts the board's
decision to uphold the 90-day
suspension of their son.
I t w as announced that
enrollment in the local school
district was continuing to
increase; on Feb. 1 it was 1,079
students while it had been 1,044
last September when school
reopened.
Permission was granted to hire
a head coach for the girls' track
team at $407 for the season and
an assistant coach for $244.
Permission was granted by the
board to hire an assistant coach
for the: boys' track team at $325
for tl~season. IA,.question was
asked f~rn the,!audience, "Why
do the coaches for the boys get
more than the coaches for the
gifts?" (head coach Ran Angus
gets $569 for his work with the
boys' team) and high school
principal Ralph Lackey said that
in some cases the girls' sport
seasons are shorter than the boys'
but that in the track program the
gifts and boys have exactly the
same schedule and he felt the
coaches should get equal pay and
hoped something would be done
about it by next year.
A proposed Reduction in
Force (RIF) policy was submitted
to the board by the super-
intendent, who recommended
the board adopt such a policy at
the Apr. 14 meeting, especially if
the levy fails and cuts must be
made. President of the North
Mason Education Association,
Jan Esarey, said his association
had presented the board with a
copy of a RIF policy they wish to
have adopted and asked that his
group's objection to the right of
the board to adopt a RIF policy
without agreement on the policy
by N.M.E.A. be entered in the
minutes of the meeting.
A request by the
superintendent that the school
d istrict pay one year's
membership in Belfair Chamber
of Commerce with school
administrators taking turns
attending the meetings was not
acted on by the board.
A proposed Affirmative
Action policy was read by the
superintendent with board
members requested to approve
the policy next month.
Acting chairman Gene Foster
appointed a committee to review
the 2-year-old policy on
attendance (excusing students for
state tournaments) after a report
from the superintendent that
some problems had come up this
spring which were not covered in
the present policy.
Board chairman Carol
Wentlandt and board member Jim
Yoest were absent from the
meeting.

Weed control
hearing set
The newly-formed Mason
County Noxious Weed Control
Board will hold a public hearing
Mar. 25 at 3 p.m. in the county
courthouse at Shelton.
Purpose of the meeting is to
adopt rules and regulations for
the control of tansy ragwort.
A few plants of this poisonous
weed have been reported in the
North Mason area. The weed has
become a serious problem in some
fields south of Shelton, also is
extensive in (;rays Harbor and
Thurston Counties.
When eaten by cows and
horses, either in hay or pasture,
their livers become affected and
they may linger on in a thin, weak
condition for a number of
months. Sheep and goats
apparently are not affected by the
weed.
Control of a small number of
plants can be done by digging up
the roots. In large fields or along
the public highways, the only
practical control is spraying the
plants in the early spring. Some
public funds are available.
Anyone with questions or
suggestions about this matter may
call Tom Davis, 275-2032, the
weed board member from the
North Mason area, or weed board
chairman Larry Kegg, 426-6700.
