Good year planned, despite loss of programs
by S( O l I NEW ION
Things are going to be d if
ferent this school year for
C edar
B u lg e
S chool
students
• 'I'o my knowledge this
w ill be the first year that this
school has not sponsored
some kind of interscholastic
c o m p e titio n ." said C lark
Lund, who is fn-ginning his
seventh year as superinten
dent of the Sandy Elemen-
Local golfer
gets hole-in-one
His golfing partners joke that it l<»ok him 45 years of
pi act ice to do it Regardless, J ed < »shorn of Sandy shot
a hole in one Aug 21 at Mountain View Golf Course
A retired, form erly self employed lumberman,
Osborn got th<- hole in «me on hole 12, the one where
"the green looks kind of small, way down there ”
Osborn smiled when asked about hole, which has a
sign in front of it that reads "Caution This hole may
lx- hazardous to your mental health "
'Eor people who haven't played it before it's kind of
tough " Osborn said " H ’s mental, you know It you
play it very much you're used to it and it's easy ”
Has Rhoads, Gordon Gunderson and Koh Rutter
comprise the foursome that were playing with Osborn
when h«1 hit tlx* hole m one
tary School D istrict
“ We've a lre a d y com
municated with the other
schools in our league and
have given them indications
not to plan on us So, they 're
already drawing up all their
league schedules and leav
mg us out "
The school's 11 athletic
programs, which included
toot ha 11, soccer, volleyball,
girls and boys basketball,
g y m n a s tic s , sw m im in g ,
w r e s tlin g , tr a c k , boys
baseball and girls softball,
had to tx- elim inated from
the school's budget when the
public voted down a $198,1X8»
B ballot for the th ird tim e
June 30
" It 's sad. in a way . to think
that we've had such a long
standing tradition ol being
involved and providing this
kind of an opportunity, and
then all ot a sudden we cut it
off It has done a lot ot good
for a lot of people,” Lund
said
Since the school has most
of the equipment needed tor
the athletic programs, about
ho to 90 percent of the cos, ot
sports would have been
salaries for the coaches
Although tra nsportation
used to t»e a m ajor expense,
a new league was formed tor
the 1976 77 season, which
eliminated the long trips
The Barlow T ra il League,
c o m p ris e d of W elches.
Cotrell, Bull Run, Redland.
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
