8 The Nevada County Nugget Washington News By JUDI STEWART On Friday June 2, graduation exercises :were held at Washington Elementary School. There were three graduating from the eighth grade. They were Mable Loos, Kathy Moyer and Sandra Yocum. Before their diplomas were presented to them, they participated ina dinner and school program. A delicious ham dinner was served by the ladies of the Community Club; and was followed by an enjoyable program put on by the entire student body. Songs, square dancing, and a play entitled "The Monsters arrive on Washington Street," comprised the program. Speakers from the county superintendent's office were invited and said they would attend, but for some reason did not arrive. We are sorry they were not there to enjoy the nice program and present the three girl graduates with their diplomas. All the children of Washington are glad school is out, and I am sure the rest of the children of the county will be glad when Friday of this week comes. * * * On Sunday, the Washington. County Water District held a special meeting to go over the proposed budget for the 197273 fiscal year. It was hoped that the tax rate could be lowered to $1.50 per $100 assessed valuation but a $2.22 tax has been proposed by the board. This taxation, along with the final budget, will be voted on at the next regular meeting of the board on June 16, This proposed tax rate will include an allotment of $2000 for a two-inch pipeline to run from Keleher Flat to Washington in case of an extremely dry season when this Canyon Creek water would be needed to supply the town. * *KO* I have always heard that the Washington area was infested with rattlesnakes, especially near Canyon Creek where we live, but it had been nine years since I personally had seen one, until Thursday evening, My boys and I were home alone when, after dinner, Mike, my 6-yearold, ran down the porch steps to go play, and turned back to tell me there was a rattlesnake at the bottom of the steps. I went to check and sure enough it was a rattlesnake, I didn't want it to get away so the boys watched it from up on the porch while I tried to decide how to kill it. I have seen people kill snakes with a shovel, but I didn't care to get that close, so I got my husband's pistol, which I hadn't fired for years. I shot five times at the rattler and couldn't come within a foot of him. By this time I decided to call Mr. Halling, who lives about a mile and a half down the road, Luckily the snake had not moved out of our sight when Mr, Halling arrived with a shovel, with which he quickly cut the snake in two. Just that very day Mrs, Jack Mannell, who is helping her husband build a house down the road, told me that they had killed a rattler on their place on Sunday. I guess rattlers are going to be a problem this year in this area, We are sure on the lookout for them now. * * * On Sunday, there was some vandalism done along the river road. Four property owners had their. fences cut. These people with wire cutters, were very nervy, they cut one fence right at the entrance to a house. This has not happened before, but there are more and more fences going up all the time, which apparently disturbs some of our tourists who feel that their activities should not be restricted.

Box 1034 Grass Valley, Ca. Ph. 265-6166 Wednesday, June 7, 1972 LAFCO delays decision on annexation The Local Agency Formation Commission has delayed a decision on a proposed annexation to Nevada City until the Nevada City and county planning commissions make a joint policy recommendation. The proposal involves 38 acres under four ownerships on the south boundary of Nevada City in the Gold Flat area. Nevada City, after holding public hearings before its planning commission and city council, prezoned the 38 acres for light industrial use. If LAFCO had approved the annexation the acreage could have been annexed and zoned for light industrial. The county planning commission originally denied John Eagan's request to establish a 100 plus mobile home park on the portion of the land he owns in the proposed annexation, At that time the county health department was not satisfied with sewage disposal plans which later were changed and did meet health department requirements. Other objections also were heard. LAFCO was concerned that Eagan had presented his proposal at the county level and had been turned down. Members also expressed a belief that a larger area should have been included in the proposed annexation. They claimed that the 38 acres formed a "boot." They felt that this type of annexation would not be advantageous to either the city or the county. Members of the agency formation commission directed that county and Nevada City planning commissioners meet and draft a mutual policy concerning annexation. Nevada City Mayor John Rankin, SAFCO chairman, declined to testify or vote. He said he felt Beryl Robinson Jr., Nevad: City manager had expressed the city's thinking. Nancy Bouvier to appear in ‘Waylie Pike’ Nancy Bouvier of Grass Valley will appear in the role of “‘Waylie Pike’? in *‘Above The Timbere line” to be produced in the Old Nevada Theatre during the last weekend of July. The musical comedy will ene joy a full season’s run this summer in the Gold Rush Plaza at Old Town Auburn, Miss Bouvier has completed three years dramatic training ; at the University of California in Berkeley. Her singing and acting talents add luster to the role of Waylie, who is characterized as being ‘a little bit lost, a little bit tarnished but working to make her marriage succeed.” Nancy says, “I have a hard time not cracking up in reheare sals with Stanley Shurtz and Harold Blickenstaff, who are very funny in their roles as cowboys..both are about twice my size.” Receives BS LINDA HICKERSON LINDA HICKERSON daughter of Mr. and Mrs, D.

Drug-fighter group set to train people The Tri-County Drug Abuse has launched a program in Nevada County to train key people how to deal with problems related to drug abuse. The three pronged training sessions are for the social service department, local nursing personnel and teachers. The purpose is to acquaint these people with the necessary insight and information to deal with drug problems of today, T ichard Sisto, coordinator for the TriCounty program said.

They will present material ranging from pharmacological information to psycho-therapeutic techniques, Training will include group discussions and involvement, Sisto said. "We don't expect to disseminate a barrage of meaningless fact. Our idea is to help these professionals step out of their roles for a moment sothat it might be possible to open up enough to experience and assimilate the complexities of the drug-oriented culture phenomena that we all are faced with," Sisto commented. The county superintendent of school's office is co-sponsoring a session for teachers. Darrell Holt of the schools department assisted by Sisto is conducting this program which opened Wednesday night in Seven Hills School.
