Chess Invitational Chess Tour nament will be hosted by the award-winning Forest Inn at Alder Creek, Wednesday, Dec. 19. “This tournament is of international scope and I ’m going to roll out the red carpet for these players,” said Rick Estes, owner of the 1980 T r a v e l- H o li d a y magazine award-winning restaurant. The tournament is spon sored by the Mt Hood Chess Club and will feature an international field of players from Europe. Canada, the eastern United States and local players. “This is a chance for some of our local players to taste the arena of international competition without the expense of travelling great distances. At the same time, it is designed to be a ’fun’ tourney without the intense pressure found in world-class chess,” said Cal Bertram, organizer of the annual tournament. “ It is more informal and that’s how we like it here on the mountain.” Pat Foley, president of the Mt. Hood club, said, “ I like the concept because we can play some good chess, sip some good wine, nibble at some good food and. most importantly, socialize with some top-ranking chess players in an atmosphere of light competition. We could never do that at a regular chess tournam ent. I t ’s unique.” Prizes for the tournament will also be informal. Hand crafted solid maple and walnut chess boards, made by local furniture maker Ken Coulling, will be given to first and second places along with a trophy for first. The entry fee will be divided for third through fifth places. “ All the players will come out winners because we’ll have a real good time," said Bertram Teacher grievance denied BRAD LaBRIE High School board mem- >ers denied a grievance filed >y a teacher who was luspended for a day and locked pay for not supplying he office with proof of a eacher's certificate by Oct. ,5. The action came during donday night's regular nonthly school board nee ting. Sandy Union High School netals teacher Mike Wright lied the grievance in order o get back the day’s pay be ost. He estimated the loss at 171 and he also noted that it ttst him approximately 839 o make a special trip to to pick the cer- up He was suspended without on Oct. 15 by Superin- Jack Peters The denied the grievance a 4-6 vote, on the grounds supporting the superin- on the procedure, ard member Pete Griffin pas absent Peters told the board that He asked for certificates trom four teachers on Friday, Oct. 12. He received two certificates that day liter two of the teachers rent right home to get them |nd he received a third certification on Monday, Oct. 15 from the third teacher. However, he suspended Wright on Monday when he did not produce his cer tificate. Peters said he was acting within the law and he was protecting the school district in that the district would have been docked teach er’s pay for each teacher working without a certificate on that day. Wright countered that he was actually certified on Sept. 28 at the office of the Teacher's Standards and P r a c t ic e s C o m m it te e ( TSPC) in Corvallis and that the district would not have been docked his pay. Peters said that it did not matter if he was actually certified on that day or not but by law the certificate had to be in the school’s office. The metals teacher said he did “everything humanly possible to get the certificate on tim e.” Wright said he had filed the necessary paper work on time for the cer tification but because of the limited staff at TSPC he did not get his certificate in the mail on time He also noted that the high school office supplied him with incomplete forms to apply for the certificate. Peters said it was not the responsibility of the school to make sure the teachers had the right forms. “ I felt that the best interest of the school district was to suspend Wright,” Peters said. “ I felt at that point it was best to have those suspensions on the book.” All four board members supported Peters. In other business, the board. — Received an up-date from P rin cipal John McMahan on the alternative school proposal McMahan said the program should be used by anyone who needs it. “ It is not a drug re habilitation program . . .not just for drop-outs,” he said, but could be used for gifted or any students needing an alternative. McMahan also said he “finds the Sandy Ridge site a tremendous site” after an inspection last week. “The site can handle 100 students, the cost factor Is most minimal and it is next to a farm, which has tremendous possibilities.” He said the school board should consider that site if the elementary district had no plans for that building after Kelso School opens Give your home the gift the whole family can enjoy. . .
