Orient, Damascus and Bor m g. is now one team sm aller About 450 to 5oo students out ol 750 took advantage of athletic programs, including 11,th and sixth graders, who were involved in intram ural programs “ I think w e'll see some recreation programs spring up ' Lund said "I don't think that we can expect to see Sandy E le m e n ta ry School teams go out and coinjH-te as they have in , hi pas) “ I have had no one specifically approach in l and say, "Can we develop a football program ’ ,' or '('an we develop a basketball pro g ra m ’’ ' "Nobody has done that yet. hut I imagine ttiat w ill hap|H*,i In 197H the public approved a bond issue tor $3 4H5 m illion tor the construction ol Kelso School and an addi tion a, Eirwood A, the same tim e that money was in vested, the interest rate went up "W e earned more interest on the sale ot those txxids than we had anticipated. Lund said Reportedly, one of the h o a rd 's lo n g s ta n d in g priorities had been the track, which was costing money every year tor maintenance J’he decision to rebuild the track was made before the public voted on the A and B ballots las, March " Now people are saying. Well why are you spending all that money on fixing up the track when you don't have an athletic program You re no, going to tx- able to use it "Tha, s really no, true We w ill lx- using it That's a teaching station and w e re going to get a lot of use out of it in our regular instruc tional plan " Athletics is no, the only area that lost ou, when the B ballot was defeated in June A talenterl and gifted pro gram tha, had competed for state and federal funds, and that had received funding fro m both le v e ls , was eliminated Lund pointed out that they were no, running the pro gram just to compete for funds, but added. " I think that's an indication that we had a pretty fine program " Th«- money for that pro g ra m w ill be re tu rn e d because the program no longer exists Outdoor education fo r s ix th g ra d e rs was eliminated due to the defeat of the B ballot Lund said tha, surveys they've taken about the program have been very positive The school district also w ill not he able to buy two buses, whil-h were on the d istrict's schedule "T hat's the biggest set in false economy you can get yourself into,' he said J'he price of school buses, tie said, is not going down " It's a proven fact that a, a given point in tune a bus can become mechanically unsound to the point ot being unsafe," Lund said " I really don't think anybody wants this district to get itself ,in that kind ot situation " Our buses, he said, aren't unsate "B u , there is a punt in time where you can reach that, and the public had het ter realize tha, " About the defeat of the B t,allots. Lund said, " I think the whole arena of voting as designed by the legislature surely had a lot to do with it "J ’he legislature set that system up in one legislative session and then immediate ly in the next legislative ses sioii they've turned around and tried to revamp it "They haven't had the courage to say it was a big fat mistake and scrap the whole approach " In common, everyday laym ans language, they re saying B ballots are trills l.und also said that the state of the economy pro bably also had a Io, to do with the del eat of the B (»allot All in all. however, Lund intends to have a good year despite the fact tha, things w ill tx- «til,erent Prep of the Week: Aaron Knotts, 9, of Sandy Bear Cubs, is one of the top scorers and best all-round p la ye rs in the Sandy« Cascade Soccer Club for youth under 10 years of age.
