Reader clarifies Belfair UGA article Editor, Belfair Herald: "Citizens Discuss Belfair UGA" (Belfair Herald, May 6) contains some inaccuracies. First, it was not "two individu- als" that petitioned the growth management hearings board. The Mason County Community Devel- opment Council (MCCDC), an or- ganization with a substantial membership in Mason County (even Belfair!), filed the petition along with five others as individu- als. Second, neither the Growth Management Act nor the Hear- ings Board say that rural indus- tries must be only resource-based. This absolutely false statement keeps popping up no matter how many times it's refuted. Even the Hearings Board wrote a special clarification of this. It would be good to question the source! In Mason County in the past, you could build just about any- thing anywhere. Now growth management says if what you plan is going to create the need for urban services, then you need to build those things where urban services are available or where you plan to provide them. While this spells "relief" for most taxpayers who have histori- cally footed the costs of those ser- vices to benefit a few who devel- op, it does step on a few toes where people may wish to do otherwise. And so some people loudly complain. But constitution- al protection from property tak- ings continues to be alive and well. As to problems with Belfair's Urban Growth Area, the article was accurate. GMA requires that if you want to create a city, you have to make it a reasonable size for the projected population, you must provide services for that population, and tell how you will pay for infrastructure. Good com- mon sense. I would encourage anyone in- terested to look at the Capital Facilities section in the county's Comprehensive Plan to see why there is a problem. Just like a business plan, the Growth Man- agement Act requires that we not only say where we want to be in six years - or twenty years - it makes us figure out how we're go- ing to get there. The county has not done the work. It is not the Hearings Board's "vague wishes" as Mr. Yando stated, it's the county's vague or non-existent planning that gets them in trouble. Lastly, it's really disheartening to read that the county's Director of Community Development calls growth management planning a "crap shoot," but perhaps this ex- plains some of the problem. Janet Dawes, Mason County Community Development Council Shelton By LORRAINE KELLY This past week has been a busy one around our house. My daugh- ter Melody arrived in time for Mothers' Day. Then we were off to Yakima for four days. I was able to take a couple of computer classes that they offered; I picked up some good information. We got to do a little antique hunting, but didn't find any real jewels. I enjoy going across the Cascade Mountains to see the country over there. It certainly is different than the coast. I picked up a box of asparagus to can. It was the sweetest asparagus we've had in along time. The cold weather has reduced production by about 30 percent, so we're not the only ones grous- ing about the weather. If you ever get over to Yakima be sure and have dinner at Gasperetti's. It's a wonderful place to have a meal, and they make the best onion rings. were pulling their first pot and gave them a big round of ap- plause when they hoisted the pot out and had a whole four shrimp in their first pull. It never pays to poke fun at good folks because you usually get repaid. TIM'S FIRST PULL netted us a whole 13 shrimp. Actually, we all did fairly well. In the four hours that the state allows, four of us limited (which is 80 shrimp per person). I was low man on the totem pole pulling in about 60. We will be back out next Wednes- day to try our hand again at catching those creatures. It was very nice to have the steam boat to shrimp in. It was a little chilly out on the water in the morning. I know everybody has heard of a bun warmer, but with a steam boat you have what is commonly called a "bummie warmer." You can hug that boiler and then turn yodr backside to it and pretty soon the numbness is money you go through. shrimping, I bet it worn cheaper to go the market and b them.

Pat Sullivan's letter in the May 6, 1999, Belfair Herald stating that Initiative 601 is a roadblock to progress epitomizes the gener- al thinking of Democrats every- where regarding government spending. From their viewpoint, apparently the government should be allowed to spend all of the revenue it can get its hands OD. If they adopted this thinking in their personal finances, none of them would ever have any sav- ings. They also conveniently for- get that the extra money, if there is any, was taken from the tax- payers and is rightfully theirs, not the government's. According to the January 15, 1998, Seattle Times article, quot- ing Senate Ways and Means Committee figures, before 1-601, spending was growing 36 percent faster than population and infla- tion. Apparently, no rate of growth alarms the Democrats and they never seem the least bit sus- picious that no matter what spending limit is set, every state agency does their best to equal or exceed it. Since passage of 1-601, the poor state is being asked to live within population and rate of inflation growth and all we hear from the Democrats is whining and longing for the good old days when the state could spend every last nick- el and then invent new taxes and fees to collect even more. Even with 1-601, there would be ample money for everyone if the state would eliminate waste and implement spending account- ability in all areas of government. Guess which party has consist- ently fought efforts to implement mandatory performance audits of all state agencies to ensure such accountability? I say, thank God for Initiative 601. George Tuttle Grapeview Many thanks for supporting teachers Editor, Belfair Herald." National Teacher Appreciation Week was celebrated the week of May 3 to 7 this year.

Kim Simon Belfair LEGAL NOTICES Proud to live in North Mason Editor, Belfair Herald: On Monday, May 10, my friend Ginger Davis and her five-year- old son David Dessard were in- volved in a head-on collision in front of Les Schwab on Highway 3 in Belfair. The miracle is that both sur- vived that awful accident. David is home now with his grandpar- ents caring for him. At this writ- ing, Ginger is still in the hospital, and has liver damage. This whole ordeal has been a real eye-opener for me. I had no idea what a caring community Belfair was. Thomas John and Ginger have three other sons (none whom were in the acci- dent), and they have been just overwhelmed by the kindness of the people here. They have had over 300 phone calls, and Boy Scouts and others bringing food to them at this time of need. It makes me proud to live in such a place as North Mason.

Nell and Jeanne Bisyak, Bob Miller and the two of us were off to make the big catch. Shrimping is like the rite of passage. You have to get your boat and gear ready, then head out to the grounds and anxiously wait for 9 a.m. to drop your pots. Then you float around waiting for time to pass while the wily shrimp find there way into your pots. Of course, you must have canned cat food for bait because the shrimp only want gourmet food to feast on. Yuck!l We steamed by our neighbors Jim and Lois Russ, while they having a good time.
