Super- intendent Dan Goldman thanked them in Monday’s gathering at the Hood River Valley High School cafete- ria. “I think of educators as heroes. We think of heroes as people who run around in tights or wage war, and I look around at what educa- tors do every day and I truly believe in my heart that it is heroic. “Every one of you are edu- cators,” he said to the teach- ers and classified staff. “You dedicated your life to kids, and you’re an educator. You made our community a much better place to live.” Principals or supervisors introduced the educators and spoke about their work. The man with the longest overall service, Mid Valley principal Dennis McCauley, stood with Linda Thornton, one of two teachers leaving after 36 years in education. Mark Steighner, music di- rector at HRVHS also retires after 36 years. McCauley, with 44 years in education, was honored for his 11 years with the school district, all as principal of Mid-Valley Elementary. Keith Bassham, HRVHS athletic director, will retire with 35 years; music teacher Kathy Hannen-Smith de- parts with 29 years, Nate Frye of District Technology with 28; Mid Valley’s Caro- line Dethman and Wy’east’s Christy Hillen with 27 each; and Mid-Valley’s Sandy Abramson and Karen Dais of District Technology with 24 each. Also retiring: Kim Vogel, Cascade Locks, 21 years; Kathy Hannifan, Pine Grove, 17; Chris McKen- zie, Technology, 7; Debra Bo- quist, HRMS, 17; Susan Young, HRMS, 10; Esperanza Culber tson, Wy’east, 10 years; John Vann, Technolo- gy, 16; Pam Starling, May Street, 18; Anne Burton, HRVHS, 17; Robert Bisson- nette, HRVHS, 9; Mark ASSEMBLIES OF GOD JOHN VANN hugs his supervi- sor in Technology, Tod Hilstad. Reynolds, HRVHS, 12; Peggy Kelter, Mid Valley, 12. Goldman opened by threatening a roast but was much easier on his outgoing teachers and administrators. Goldman quoted tennis great Arthur Ashe in saying, “True heroism is remark- ably sober and very undra- matic. It’s not the urge to sur- pass all others at whatever cost, but to serve others at whatever cost. “When we look at educa- tion we are talking about people who have served a very long time and have done it under very amazing chang- ing conditions in the past 30 years. I just want to thank everyone in the room for being a hero, and when you leave the schools you never really leave, you’re on every- one’s list for subs, you’re on speed dial and at 5:30 a.m., you get the jingle. But when you leave the schools as full time teachers, you can hold your head high. You have done a remarkable thing with your lives.” We Need Homes Qualified Applicants Waiting Monthly • Leases Pet Friendly Oregon • Washington Rent@GorgeRentals.com (541) 387-4080 GorgeRentals.com 610 Oak Street • Hood River Denise McCravey, Owner ANNU ANNUAL A U A L SPRING S NG AUTHOR FESTIVAL A UTHOR U OR FE E S TIV V A L Meet 12 Amazing mazing Authors A uthor or s in 1 Da Day y May Ma ay 30, 3 0, 0 2015 | 11AM - 2PM | Klindt’s Klindt’ lindt’ s Booksellers ooksellers rs Roland Smith Kimberly Kimber ly y Derting Stasia W Ward ard K Kehoe ehoe McBride Lish McBr ide W ORSHIP D IRECTORY Jeanne J eanne Ryan Ry an William W illiam Ritter Rosamund Hodge RIVER OF LIFE ASSEMBLY Pastor Terry Abbott 979 Tucker Rd.
