“Since this legislation may
pass, I decided that it would be
better for me to resign so that
there is absolutely no appear-

of interest,” he added.
Fleenor previously indicated
he would not be seeking a sec-

Educators were expecting
the legislature to approve an
education budget of approxi-
mately $7.5 billion or more for
the state. The current proposal
is for $7.235 billion.
“We were aiming higher
than that,” Angal said,
“because there is a lot of
rebuilding that has to be done
in Oregon schools. We need to
do some serious investment in
education in Oregon. We are
near the bottom of all states in

The interior continues to be
reorganized. Another workday
has been scheduled for
Saturday, March 28, to get it
ready for painting. Todd and
Amanda Hennessee of The
Shippin’ Shack have offered
to construct a new club sign
for the front of the Teen
Center, free of charge.
Trent said, “We hope that
within the next two weeks we
will be able to paint the interi-
or of the Teen Club and then
hold a community open house
to re-launch the new and
improved Boys and Girls
Club.”
“Within the next two
weeks, the club plans to
announce the launch of a cap-

Fleenor suggested appointing
Huntington to serve out the

club with that. This has been
a challenge the last several
months, but now we are see-

things we have been working
on the last several months.”
Angal said, “We certainly
want the Boys and Girls Club
to thrive, and it sounds like it
is heading in that direction
again. I am very glad about
that.”
According to club board
member Michael Pearson, sta-
tistics show that 95 percent of
students involved in Boys and
Girls clubs nationwide gradu-
ate high school.
“Some people in the com-
munity have thought that
Boys and Girls Club is just a
babysitting venture,” Pearson
said. “It is much, much more
than that. It is not only a safe
and positive place for kids to
be, it is a place to gain enrich-
