Fie has been invited by the Universal Academy for Music to participate in the "America's Youth in Concert" 1974 European concert tour. Rick, son of Mr. and Mrs. Otis Dwyer of Shetlon, received frmn the academy an application form and a tape upon which he was asked It) record his voice t\)r audition, tie was required to submit character references. Tile program is arranged especially for students who have demonstraled outstanding musical ability, and invitations are axtended to lho,~ who have won honors by participating in bands or choirs. Others may apply for audition upon recommendation. Dwyer, who was chosen to sing in concert with the all-state choir in March, has vocalized since he was a ninth-grader. As a sophomore he sang in both swing choir and senior choir. During the past school year he has sung in swing choir and served as drum major for the band. tie also plays bass drum. "I'm proud to have the opportunity to sing in Europe," says Rick Dwyer, "'but I've decided not to accept. The cost to my family would be $1800, and it's just too much." Because of his performance in the Shelton High School Music De pertinent production of "South Pacific" and his role in the 1973 presentation of "Li'l Abner," Dwyer has been invited to appear in Possca's production of "Hello Dolly" to open early in August in Olympia.

STORE 3rd & Railroad His office has recently completed mailing out about 2,500 reassessment notices to property owners in the county, County Assessor Willis Burnett said this week. The reassessments this year, he said, were on new construction, additions to buildings, divided or sub-divided property or other action taken by the owner which increases the value of the property. Because of a new state law which requires assessments to be at 100 percent of the value established by the assessor's office, it will appear that assessments have been doubled. Previous tax statements have shown assessed value on the basis of 50 percent of the value established by the assessor's office. At the same time the assessment percentage was changed, the State Legislature also changed the method by plica ions or ue June 30 is the deadline for registering claims for water rights. To aid last-minuters, the Department of Ecology headquarters and regional offices will be open Saturday, June 29, from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. In addition, the headquarters office in Lacey will be open on Sunday, June 30, from 2 p.m. until midnight. According to Mrs. Skip Harlan, supervisor of water right claims for DOE, 66,000 claims have been registered. Another 34,000 have been logged in, but have not yet been processed. "Persons who have sent their claims in but have not yet received a reply should not worry," Mrs. Harlan said. "Claims which we receive on or before June 30 will be processed." Mrs. Harlan noted that the forms for registering water rights are available from county watermasters, through county courthouses and from the Department of Ecology. Locations and phone numbers of offices of the DOE are: Headquarters, St. Martin's College, Lacey, Washington 98504, 753-6190; Southeast Regional Office, Airdustrial Park (Airport)Olympia, Washington 98504, 753-2353. :. .,. :' ....... ,~: .: ...... /: ::~,;/~i~ which taxes are levied from mills to dollars per $1,000 of assessed value at the new 100 percent assessment figure. Taxes which fall under the regular levy are now based on a total of $9.15 per $1,000 of assessed valuation based on 100 percent of assessed value. Taxes which are being paid this year are on the basis of a maximum 20 mills on an assessed valuation which is 50 percent of the full value. State law provides that new taxes falling under the regular inmates at WCC (Continued from page one.) gotten outside the walls. He said the Mason County sheriff's office had been notified of the possible escape as had the Washington State Patrol and that a law enforcement teletype had been sent out with descriptions of the two. Vernon said corrections center officials began to get rumors about noon Tuesday that two men had escaped. Search efforts were started inside the corrections center with no result. About 3:30 p.m. after the missing men could not be located, a lock-up and count was ordered, Vernon said. Two counts revealed Carlin and Asich were not able to be located. Vernon said further search efforts inside the corrections center were started and continued Wednesday. He said officers had received rumors the two may have hidden in a truck going out. The Mason County sheriff's office said its officers on patrol had been notified of the possible escapes and were provided with descriptions of the two men. Officers are keeping a look-out for them while on patrol in the county. This is the first escape at the corrections center since last December. In that escape, five men used a jack to push out a section of concrete security screen around their housing unit and went over the fence. One of them has not yet been apprehended. The first escape from the corrections center after almost nine years of operation occurred a little less than a year ago. levy cannot exceed one percent of the valuation of the property. Special levies or levies for bonds do not fall under the regular levy. Burnett said the new formula actually provides a slight reduction in the amount of taxes which will be assessed. An example, he said, is the county current expense fund, which under the present formula gets four mills, which would amount of $2 for each $1,000 of assessed valuation. Under the new formula, the county current expense fund would get $1.80. Amounts provided for various taxing districts under the new formula include $3.60 for schools, $1.80 for county current expense, $3.60 for the city, $2.25 for the county road district and $1.50 for junior taxing districts. in Mason County, the $1.50 for junior taxing districts goes to fire districts, $1, and the regional library, 50 cents. Other districts which could come under this part of the levy would be mosquito control, port, PUD, cemetery and hospital districts, although none of these get regular levy money in Mason County. Burnett said tax which will be February will reflect dollars per thousand valuation. All special levies, must now be submitted voters on the basis of doll: thousand rather than amoun t. He stated his office reassessed any of the year since "all of the had been completed last From now on, he said, do a section of the year, the entire county done every three assessments in the entire will be equal.
