Above, Hood Canal School third-grade student Ruthie Pe- terson-Bluebird, 9, created a poem in the shape of a flower with her class for the school's student achievement showcase last Thursday.

"IVs cool to see what the kids come up with." Many students came away with new under- standing and learned valu- able lessons. "I learned that some- thing may not look as hot as it is," Townsend said. "Some people think blue flames might be cooler, but it's the hottest." This is the fourth year the school has held the showcase, Churchill said. "It's a way for parents to come on down and take a :10ok atour school," he said.

Marijuana Continued from page A-1 marijuana as a Schedule I drug in the Controlled Substances Act. Some members of the public who signed up to speak out against the moratorium at the city's pub- lic hearing referred in their comments to a propos- al being discussed in another public hearing held Monday night by the Mason County Planning Ad- visory Commission. The planning commission is a seven-member board appointed to advise the Mason County com- mission on planning and zoning issues. On Monday, the planning commission discussed proposed amendments to county zoning laws relat- ed to collective gardens. Lori Kent of Mar: Meds, which now has locations in Belfair and State Route 3 near Bayshore Golf Course, commented on aspects of the planning com- mission's proposal at the city meeting, and spoke out against the moratorium. "I wanted to come forward as a Washington state patient," she said. "I think it's overkill. I think that what we're proposing here is a prison, not only for a plant but for a person." Kent referred specifically to a part of the county's proposed Zoning regulations stating, "The garden building shall be surrounded by a fence of at least ten feet in height and topped with razor-type wire." The proposal considered by the planning com- mission also included requirements for video sur- veillance at the site of a collective garden, security systems at all windows and doors of the building, and on-site security guards. Under the proposed zoning regulations, no oth- er business, whether for- or non-profit, could be housed in the same building as the collective gar- den. The garden buildings also are required to be at least 100 feet away from a county or state road. The planning commission agreed to extend its public hearing until April 16. The county's mora- torium on collective gardens will expire on May 16. Meanwhile, the city commission and city staff hope state and federal law on the collective gardens will become clearer. "I have read the county's proposal," city Commis- sioner Mike Olsen said. "I agree it is going to be in- evitable that the state and the feds figure this out. I'd rather have this in place." r ....... Complete this form, clip it and mail You can order by phone (360) 7 426-441 Box 430, Shelton, WA 98584 2 with your credit card.
