North Mason High School and the
Girls' Club to raise money for
extra-curricular sports activities
during the school year. Funds for
extra-curricular activities were cut
from the school district budget
following a double failure of the
school levy last spring. Most fall
and winter sports have been
funded by the school board but
spring sports will depend a great
deal on how much money can be
raised by outside fund-raising
projects.
DOUBLE TROUBLE
A resident of Grapeview
reported Sept. 20 that someone had
cut his garden hose and used a
section to siphon gas from his boat
parked in the yard.
