Rick Dwyer
s,ng,ng
By JAN DANFORD
The outstanding tenor voice
of Shelton tligh School junior
Rick Dwyer has once again earned
for him high honor and wide
recognitic) n.
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. He will soon
begin rehearsals.
Rick Dwyer, employed by the
Safeway Store, plans to save his
money.
'TII audition again in my
scnior year," he states. "Maybe I
can go then."

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

"Persons who have sent their claims in but have not yet

which we receive on or before June 30 will be processed."
Mrs. Harlan noted that the forms for registering water

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

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
