Trost said, "No. It was a pain." Though fam ily obligations and a full-time consulting practice made her tim e schedule tight. she said, "1 have to admit when I first had it in my hands and I saw my name on the cover, I said, 'Wow, when can I start writing another one.’” Trost. who travels "all over the country" as owner of Orgamza tional Dynamics, a consulting organization headquartered in Sandy, said her book provides the basic information about the roles and responsibilities of boards of directors, and how they can be more effective in planning or run ning organizations Trost said, "Often these are ex tremely competent people that, when they get together, don’t always know how to be compe tent as a group on behalf of the organization they’re supposed to Arty Trost be running." In addition, the book makes the distinction between governing boards of directors and advisory groups "V e ry often these local ad visory committees get a little confused becasue they kind of get into thinking th ey're policy making, and they get real upset when the governing board doesn’t accept their recommendations," she said T ro s t r e c e n t ly t r a in e d T r i- M e t ’s " f a r e inspectors " Other clients have included the American Hospital Association, United Way of America, the Bon neville Power Adm inistration and Nike Inc Trost said she’s been keeping "very busy ’’ "Gaining Momen tu m ," which at least in theory was done on her own time, took about a year to complete It was just recently published The book was co-authored by Judy Kauner of San Diego " It was real interesting working with an author a thousand miles aw ay," she said, adding that she had “ monum ental’ ’ telephone bills She put the book together to provide some follow-up after con sultations. or for groups not able to afford to hire a consultant Trost, who has a m aster’s degree in social work from San Diego State University, said she wanted to put something together that wouldn't put people off as being too academic. Commenting on a local issue, Trost said the Hoodland Rural Fire Protection District Board of Directors, which recently passed a motion banning volunteer firemen to serve on the board, "showed a real sophisticated a w a re n e s s of c o n f lic t of interest " She said, "A lot of people didn't realize that a volunteer is an un paid staff person and is affected by the decisions the board makes "Therefore the board member can’t be both the boss and the subordinate." She said the board s decision was "extrem ely" appropriate She said a volunteer fireman would take expertise into the job as a board member But she add ed, "As a m atter of fact, now they're looking at workman's c o m p e n s a tio n b e n e fits fo r volunteers, etcetera, etcetera So it does affect them ."

She feels it was the threat of the board losing their services as football coach and art instructor that helped resolve their d if ferences A few days after the con tract settlement was reach ed Well resigned from his coaching position, citing the physical and mental ex haustion from the more th a n n in e m o n ths of negotiations as the reason He said, at that time, he in tended to apply for the head basketball coaching jo b w hen It b e c a m e available in November " It just seems like they are retaliating for our roles in the negotiations. " said Boldt Rob Hill of Zig Zag. a former teacher at Welches. agreed with Boldt He call ed the board's actions "dum b and vin dictive" because of the role the two teachers played during negotiations " It was a dumb move for the school board not to ac cept Jeanine’s and Tom's extra duty contracts," said H ill "The c o n tra c t negotiations had dragged on and on and finally it was resolved Everything was beginning to calm down then they go and do this, m a k in g th in g s ten se again." Hill said it was like the board wanted to push Well and Boldt as far as they could, “ which is not in the best interest of the com munity ” "They (the board) say they represent a cross- section of the community," said Hill. "But the people those teachers represent und effect, namely the parents of their students, were not in attendence at their meeting " He said when he heard about the board rejecting the extra duty contracts for Boldt and Well, he decided to attend last Thursday's meeting, even though he could not actually sit in the meeting " I was there to let the school board know how much we appreciate and support Tom and Jeanine." said H ill "The rapport they have w ith the students is tremendous ” Hoffman said the rejec tion of Boldt's and Well's extra duty contracts had nothing to do with their role in the contract negotia tions Deadline for Classifieds ads is now 5 p.m. Monday.
