The Shelton School Board
Tuesday night voted to settle a
problem that has been around for
many years and has been in court
twice when it agreed to a
settlement of a judgement to
Robert Daly.
The board voted to accept the
recommendation of its attorney
to sett.le the judgement for
$11,000 rather than appeal the
decision to a higher court.
In a letter to the board, the
attorney stated the judgment as
granted by the court would
amount to about $14,000 and that
it could be settled for $11,000.
The attorney recommended
settling for the lesser amount
rather than appeal the decision.
The payment will be to Robert
Daly, a school psychologist who
worked for the district five days in
1965.
The issue in the case was
whether Daly had been fired from
his job improperly or had
abandoned his contract when he
left the district and did not return.
The case was tried twice in
Superior Court. The first time,
Judge Charles T. Wright had
dismissed the case when it was part
way through. The dismissal was
appealed and was reversed by the
State Supreme Court, which
lU
remanded the case back to
Superior Court here for trial. It was
tried the second time earlier this
year, with the jury finding in favor
o f Dalv.

members at the meeting.

studies for her library degree.
She commented the library

from the public in the programs
and in assisting with them has
been excellent, she said.

able to do with the Shelton
library operation.
She said she expected the

The costs to local
governments here for efforts to
apprehend escapees from the
Washington Corrections Center
and trying them on escape chaige~
after they have been taunt have
amounted to several thousand
dollars over the past several
months, county officials said this
week.
The county last week
concluded jury trials for three
escapees who had been charged
with escape in Superior Court
here.
There are five other escapees
who have been charged and have
not yet been brought to trial.
Clerk Elaine Province said
total costs including $556.27 for
the sherifPs office, for the case of
Kevin Sample and Joseph Berger,
was $1,220.1 I.
Sample and Berger escaped in
September and were caught about
24 hours later in the Lake
Limerick area by two deputy
sheriffs who were on stake-out
there.
A breakdown of the court
costs to try the case includes
$463.75 for their court-appointed
attorney; $14.80 lbr witness fees:
$230 for jurors; $50.50 tbr
mileage and $43.30 for hmch for
the jurors plus the $556.27 which
was spent by the sheriff's office,
mostly for a search dog team of
three men and dogs which were
brought down from Seattle.
Mrs. Province said the court
costs for the two-day trial of
Harvey James Jr were $1,220. 1 I.
James got no further than
between the two fences at the
corrections center before he was
caught.
A breakdown of the costs
include $420 for his
court-appointed attorney; witness
and travel fees, $88.80; jurors,
$520; mileage for jurors, $113.90;
and lunch for the jurors, $45.41.
Probably the most expensive
case when all costs are in will be
that of the first escapee, Aden
CuzJck,,
Cuzick has not yet been tried
on the escape charges.
The sherifrs office said costs
of the search effort for Cuzick
and for providing guards for him
while he was hospitalized twice
had totaled $1,310.
Cuzick was hospitalized after
being caught because he had been
shot during the escape. Later,
while being held in Mason County
Jail at the request of his
court-appointed attorney, he
swallowed a razor blade and had
to be hospitalized for an
operation.
Police Chief Frank Rains said
it had cost his department about
$500 for extra duty time for his
men who had been involved in the
search efforts.
These costs, which have been
tabulated by the local officals,
total $4,420.
They do not include any costs
for state patrol, fisheries
department, game department or
Washington Corrections Center
employees who were involved in
the search effort.
Two of the other WCC
inmates who have been charged
with escape, Donald Pinson and
Carl Hoskins, have entered not
guilty pleas in court and have
been scheduled for trial within 60
days.
Search efforts for these two
by local officials was limited.
They were captured several hours
after their escape by an off-duty
Shelton police patrohnan near his
I
A Simpson Timber Company
forklift operator escaped serious
injury Thursday evening when the
edge of a dock gave way under
the machine Ire was operating,
dumping it into Oakland Bay.
The operator, Jim Brailley,
received minor injuries, but
because of being dumped into the
s~t water, he was hospitalized for
observation, tte is now out of the
hospital and back to work.
The machine went into the
water upside down. Brailley was
able t,~ escape through where the
home in the Dayton area.
Two other escapees have not
yet been in court here. They are
the two who were captured in the
Clark County area after they are
believed to have taken a pickup
belonging to a man in the Dayton
area. The truck was recovered in
Clark County.
Court-appointed attorneys get
$17.50 an hour for their time
when appearing in court.
Not included in the costs
tabulated so far by local officials
is the cost of an attorney who has
appeared for Cuzick in several
court appearances nor the cost of
specialists whom the court has
approved to examine him after a
plea of not guilty by reason of
mental irresponsibility.
Mrs. Province commented
that another cost which is being
absorbed by her office is the filing
fees for Corrections Center
inmates who have civil actions
filed.
Up to Novembe~ 20 this year,
she said, 44 cases'~d been filed,
including 40 divorces, two change
of names and two writs of habeas
corpus.
No filing fees are collected for
these filings. If they were filed as
regular civil actions, the fees
would be $32 each or a total of
$1,408.

the water.
A Simpson spokesman said

because of having been in the s~lt

"COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH PLANNING," explains Barbara Foote of

By JAN DANFORD
"The ground work is done,"
says Barbara Foote of Lilliwaup
who in 1972 was appointed to the
council of Comprehensive Health
Planning. "Now we are ready to
explain the program to the
public."
What is CLIP?. It may well be
described as a continuous process
by which agreements are reached
between providers and consumers
of health services with a view to
providing the best care for the
most people at the least cost.
In November of 1966, Public
Law 89-749, also known as the
"Partnership for Health" linked
together federal government, state
governments and local areas under
the program title of
Comprehensive Health Planning.
Congress enacted the law out
of recognition of the need for
more efficient use of health
resources and funds, and more
efficient delivery of health care to
all citizens. ClIP is founded upon
a basic premise that high quality
of health care is the right of every
citizen, rather than an economic
privilege.
CHP seeks to avoid the
duplication of health services and
facilities which result in increased
