Free Dump Day draws the crowds
They came bearing yard debris and
other refuse, and they came bearing
contributions for the county's food
banks, said Mason County Recycling
Coordinator Toni Clement and food
bank proponent Ed Boutwell. Clement
called the event "a success" that
brought in 271,120 pounds of garbage,
83.39 tons of which are destined for a
landfill and 52.19 tons of which repre-
sent recyclable items: 253 tires, 88 re-
frigerators, 28 auto batteries, and
80,240 pounds of scrap metal. Boutwell
said folks taking advantage of the free
solid-waste transfer access were en-
couraged to contribute to county food
banks, which collected $500 and about
700 pounds of food for the needy.

Mike Rutter, facilities manager,
said through "neglect of mind"
he had forgotten to have the con-

has had the contract since 1995
and this is the second one-year

tract. After this year the contract
expires, he added.
Rutter then received approval
to post for quotes for vending ma-
chine services to fill the void.
The contract would cSver two
years with an option of two one-
year extensions. Contract infor-
mation packages will be avail-
able at the commissioners' office
in Building I, 411 North Fifth

location by 5 p.m. November 30.
Rutter also said those interested

information.
Ten percent of all net sales
from the vending machines goes

Voice of Democracy Week in
Mason Cunty. The Veterans of

sponsor the nationwide audio es-
say contest for students in grades
9 to 12, Annette McGee told the
board. She and her husband Bill
are co-chairpersons for VFW
Post 1694 and its auxiliary.
This year's theme is
"America's Role for the Next
Century," McGee said. The com-
petition begins on the local post
level after which winners move
on to districts followed by state.
Each state winner goes to Wash-
ington, D.C. The contest is "a
wonderful way to let young peo-
ple speak up" for democracy and
patriotism," she observed.
Jenny Johnston of Shelton won
the state title several years ago,
McGee said, and did well at na-
tionals. Johnston won about
$6,000 in scholarship money, she
added.

Song cycles: "Halt," "Danks-

Southside
seeks new
mascot
By JEFF GREEN
They used to be called the
Southside School Pirates but that
nickname got scuttled.
In what some might call an ad-
venced case of political correct-
ness, some parents a few years
back didn't think that the name
Pirates was appropriate and the
school dropped the mascot. Ap-
parently what has been good
enough for Pittsburgh's major
league baseball team for decades
isn't up to par for Southside.
Now Southside's student body
officers have included picking a
new mascot among their goals for
the year, said Superintendent
ttarvey Hazen. They have asked
other students for suggestions for
naming the new mascot.
Hazen said there is no deadline
for the new name. Southside con-
centrates on intramurals and
doesn't play other schools in ath-
letics, although the mascot-less
team did participate in a county-
wide track meet last spring.
