protein membrane,
Daggett learned.
"Once he started, he
bounced around with
ideas," said Daggett's
mother, Amanda Whiton of
Union. "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.

against the city's moratorium on medical
marijuana collective gardens.

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."
