He recently placed third in a
statewide Vocational Industrial

also helped build a trail through a
ravine as part of his service to the
community.
His future plans are to com-

working in the manufacturing
field. His long-range plans, he
told Lions Club spokesman Mel
Williamson, are to have his own
computer shop eventually.

New beach closures announced
at Lynch Cove an(t Tal00.uya River
Pollution is threatening 14
commercial shellfish growing
areas in Puget Sound with the
prospect of harvest restrictions
and closures, according to an
"early warning" report from the
Washington Department of
Health.
Two local spots are new to the
list of threatened grounds: Hood
Canal at the Tahuya River and
the south shore of Lynch Cove,
according to a prepared state-
ment released by the Puget
Sound Water Quality Action
Team.
The early warning system is
used to alert local health depart-
ments, state natural resource
agencies as well as tribes and
shellfish growers when declining
water quality threatens an area
with a downgrade or closure. The
closures are ordered when health
officials fear that contamination
has made the shellfish unsafe to
eat.
"A DOWNGRADE is bad
news for everyone," said Bob
Woolrich of the state Office of
Shellfish Programs. "It indicates
that a bay is getting polluted,
which affects shellfish businesses
by either restricting or eliminat-
ing harvesting."
Shellfish protection is a key
part of the Puget Sound Water
Quality Management Plan, the
state's strategy for protecting Pu-
get Sound including Hood Canal
and their natural resources.
"The early warning system
gives local agencies a head start
on identifying problem areas so
they can work on finding the pol-
lution sources and prevent the
growing area from reaching
downgrade or closure conditions,"
Woolrich said.
The action team's 1999-2001
work plan outlines actions local
governments and state natural
resource agencies can take to pro-
tect Puget Sound's shellfish habit.
The team wants to prevent down-
grades and reopen closed areas.
Council will eye
math curriculum
at meeting today
The Shelton School District Carey Murray announced at the
Curriculum Council will mull the May 6 meeting, has chosen
matter of middle-school math at a
special council meeting from 4 to
5:30 p.m. today in the Angle Edu-
cation Center boardroom on
North Ninth Street.
The council, which earlier
adopted the Mimosa program for
mathematics for kindergarten
through fifth grade in the district,
will discuss in detail the pro-
grams available for use at the
middle-school level.
The Language Arts Committee,
Houghton Mifflin's "Invitations to
Literacy" series for the elementa-
ry level and Prentice Hall's
"Timeless Voices, Timeless
Themes" series was chosen for the
intermediate level.
The committee stipulated that
the Prentice Hall program would
be implemented at the sixth-
grade level this fall for the 1999-
2000 school year and at the sev-
enth- and eighth-grade levels the
following year.
PUGET SOUND is one of the
most productive shellfish growing
areas in the country. "Shellfish
are vital to our region's economy
and are an indicator of a healthy
marine environment," said Nancy
McKay, chairman of the action
team. "Shellfish growing and har-
vesting is also a historical and
cultural piece of the Sound that's
integral to our quality of life. Pol-
lution in growing areas threatens
the Puget Sound lifestyle, affect-
ing public health, the environ-
ment and our region's economy."
There are about 230,000 acres
of commercial growing areas
statewide, with about 5,000 acres
considered threatened. Since
1981 about 46,000 acres have
been downgraded and 13,000
have been upgraded. Almost all of
the downgrades and upgrades oc-
curred in Puget Sound.
"The good news is that last
year was the best on record tbr
shellfish restoration, with more
than 4,000 acres upgraded," Me-
Kay said. "The bad news is that
restoration takes many years and
a lot of resources."
