Public hearing scheduled for 6PM July 9th at Aberdeen High School ABERDEEN, Wash. - The Aberdeen School Board yesterday reviewed a draft budget for the coming year. After two years in the red, board member Christi Boora said "There's a lot of hard work that goes into this, however personally I feel it's vital for us to balance, and go into the school year with a balanced budget. Amid dwindling federal dollars, and a looming but unseen state mandated investment, School Superintendent Tom Opstad said the district went from a 1.4 million dollar deficit two years ago "this year we had a budget that was $580,000 in the red. We had enrollment that was probably 3100 this year, we budget on an annual average, we ended up about 3,058. So we were higher - almost 30 above budget, which is nice because it takes away some of the red that we planned on and then maybe adds a little bit to the beginning fund balance for next year. The draft budget projects a $72,000 deficit, Opstad said he would consider some options to present at a public hearing planned for July.

OCEAN SHORES, Wash. - The Grays Harbor County Coroner's Office says the surf fisherman who's body was found near Iron Springs on Sunday died as the result of a probable cardiac arrhythmia. The Forensic Pathologist made the conclusion after the autopsy of 65 year old Antonio Inocencio of Federal Way.
Cardiac arrhythmia is a condition in which the heart's normal rhythm is disrupted, and has been associated with cold-water immersion deaths in the past.
After the discovery of Inocencio's body Sunday afternoon, a search was conducted for a possible second victim thought to have gone fishing with him, detectives located his friend on Monday and determined Inocencio had gone fishing alone.
