Lions Club seeks donations
Editor, Belfair Heraldz
Soon you may be approached
by a member of North Mason
Lions Club seeking a donation for
one of our many projects. I think
it is important to review the ac-
tivities and contributions the
North Mason Lions Club makes
to our community. During the
past year, and on into the coming
year, Lions continue their impor-
tant work.
We have provided hearing aids
and eyeglasses to people who are
unable to afford them. We have
collected over 500 pairs of glasses
that will be recycled and used
throughout the world. Our club
gave fimr $500 vocational scholar-
ships to last year's North Mason
High School graduates. The
Christmas giving tree, sponsored
by Lions, provided over 220 gifts
to local children who may not
have otherwise received presents.
We also sponsor two middle-
school contests, the Peace Poster
and an essay project. Many stu-
dents participate wlth the chance
of being International Lions win-
ners. In addition, the Lions gave
support to the Hawkins Middle
School Washington, D.C., trip, the
Boys and Girls Club, the Polar
Plunge, Grapeview School fund,
and donated over $1,800 annually
to the North Mason Food Bank.
Using the district Lions health
van, in December we screened
sight and hearing for 726 elemen-
tary students from Belfair and
Grapeview. Our club does road
cleanup on Highway 3 from Allyn
to Belfair.
North Mason Lions' major
fund-raisers include two pancake
breakfasts, Belfair Summerfest,
June 26-27, and Allyn Days, July
17. Each spring our club members
design and build an arbor which
we raffle at a dollar per chance,
the winner being drawn during
Allyn Days. The annual pecan
sale prior to Christmas generates
additional funds to support our
activities.
We sell Entertainment Books,
have newspaper recycling bins in
Belfair and Allyn, and the Lions
mints seen in many local busi-
nesses contribute to our budget.
In May, White Cane Day sup-
ports the Northwest Eye Bank lo-
cated in Seattle. The entire
amount collected on White Cane
Day, $2,000 each of the last three
years, goes to this important cen-
ter. Over 10,000 cornea trans-
plants have been performed to
date, helped largely by White
Cane sales.
Our club membership current-
ly totals 35. We are always look-
ing for new people wishing to be-
come active members. Anyone in-
terested should contact either Cal
Wartman at (360) 275-8391 or
George Chessum at (360) 275-
2496. We thank the community
for their generous support of
Lions events.

Supports Home Rule
Editor, Belfair Herald:
What makes our country so
great is our ability to effect posi-
tive change in our government.
When we are unhappy with our
government, we are very fortu-
nate to have very powerful tools
with' which to make change. The
freeholder petition being circulat-
ed in our community represents,
to me, democracy at its very best.
It is about Home Rule, local
control and a greater voice in gov-
ernment. While attending the
freeholders informational meet-
ing, I was struck with the parallel
between America's first colonial-
ists and the Mason .County citi-
zens in attendance: they both
spoke of the need for a greater
voice in their destiny.
The petition is the first step.
The second step is to ask a group
of fellow citizens to draft a county
charter that restructures our gov-
ernment. Then we will all have a
chance to vote on the proposed
changes.
The Home Rule petition is not
about taxes, growth management
or Bill Quigley. It is about the
average citizen's role in shaping
our local government. I whole-
heartedly support the intent of
the petition and urge my fellow
community members to get in-
volved.

Disagrees with editorial
Editor, Belfair Herald :
I read with interest the editori-
al in the April 8, 1999, Belfair
tterald. Until, that is, I came to
the last paragraph. Mr. Rick
Stedman would have us believe
only "Professionals " can decide
what is right for "all" children.
Mr. Stedman, with that state-
ment, you lost it. This demeans
all men, women, mothers and fa-
thers. You failed to note Mrs. Lee
Anne Martinez is a "professional."
She has a major in Special Educa-
tion and a major in Elementary
Education.
It would have been much easi-
er for Mrs. Martinez to have ac-
cepted a substitute book for her
son and not gone through this
emotional turmoil. However, as a
professional, she felt she had the
duty to all children to draw atten-
tion to this book, which, has been
recommended for seventh grade
and up by the writers. Give us the
facts and let us decide.
By the way, I am qualified to
teach and test English as a sec-
ond language. Never once in 12
years of teaching non-English
speaking graduate students did I
feel it necessary to teach any-
thing but pure English and not
use the crutch of cuss words or
blasphemy.

John,
Over a vast number of
years I have spent thou-
sands of dollars on my
teeth, all of which has not
been a successful experi-
ence.
It has been a gratifying
experience to come in
contact with a practitioner
with as much concern for
his patient and the quality
of work that is performed
as you have.
Many thanks,

John,
Over a vast number of
years I have spent thou-
sands of dollars on my
teeth, all of which has not
been a successful experi-
ence.
It has been a gratifying
experience to come in
contact with a practitioner
with as much concern for
his patient and the quality
of work that is performed
as you have.
Many thanks,
J. Taylor
