Thursday, Jan. 25, the Snoqualmie Valley Record

headlined "Kids become priority for ball fields." Sounds good to me.

But inside, on page three, is an article about the King

County Council giving $50,000 — to rivers! The Friends of the Trail

group that cleans up litter, etc., around rivers was given $50,000 to

do so. Where I come from, that's done by volunteers! The

trails group plans to also utilize that $50,000 teaching kids "right

from wrong." Where I come from, that's done by the parents!

Title that article "Rivers become priority over kids."

Could your school use $50,000?
