Rotary announces
new program:
Polio Plus Society

Continued from page 8A
Polio Plus Society is a function of
each participating Rotary club around
the world, whereby each Rotarian pledg-
es $100 a year that will be used through
the Paul Harris Foundation to eradicate
polio throughout the world through fur-
ther research.
Polio has been eradicated worldwide,
with the exception of Syria and Paki-
stan. But Rotary still needs to supply
the vaccine, worldwide, for new genera-

helping eradicate polio.

process, which spanned a
year and a half of often in-
tense meetings and canvass-
ing efforts, renewed his hope
for this community.
“This process has really
brought people together,” he
said. “I’m optimistic to see
all this hard work turn into a
brand new school.”
With the fi rst round of elec-
tion results, supporters had
reason to be optimistic, with
support for the bond among
about 55 percent of votes
counted. The District believed
that about 1500 votes had yet
to be counted, though; hence
the reluctance of Parent and
others to call it a night until it
looked like a sure thing. That
night, the District also learned
11A
that it should receive $4 mil-
lion in matching state funds
to put toward the bond, as
districts that appeared above
South Lane on a waiting list
for funding were unable to
pass their bonds.
What’s next
“Now the work begins,”
Parent said of the post-elec-
tion process to put the bond
funds into action. The fi rm of
Piper Jaffray will handle the
sale of the bonds, though the
fi rm is spacing out the sale of
this and the 18 other bonds
passed by Oregon school
districts so as not to fl ood
the market, Parent said. The
District is scheduled to meet
with the fi rm on June 28-29 to
discuss the packaging of the
bonds for sale. On June 6-7,
a committee made largely of
Harrison staffers will meet
to fi ne-tune the plan for the
new school, a process that
will continue with BLRB Ar-
chitects for a week in July.
The bonds will be placed on
the market on July 19, Parent
said.
“The money probably
won’t start to fl ow until mid
to late August,” she said,
though some of the deferred
maintenance work such as
roof replacements, etc. may
start this summer. The bonds
may fare better than expected
on the market, Parent said,
which means that the Dis-
trict could get a higher return
than it envisioned, money that

consciousness of prosperity by tith-
ing. They give 10 percent to “Soup’s
On,” the free community meal on
Sunday evenings, and 10 percent to
the national organization. They also
encourage members to engage in
community service.
While all forms of prayer are hon-
ored, CSL teaches a unique and sci-
entifi c form of prayer called, “Spiri-
tual Mind Treatment,” which involves
a fi ve-step process that harnesses the
creative process of consciousness al-
lowing new levels of health, wealth,
love and wholeness to become a real-
ity in an individual’s life.
Compared to other religions, God
is gender neutral. They teach sin
is simply a mistake. They embrace
Christ’s New Testament teachings,
but don’t believe Jesus is the only son

bond debt later. Parent wor-

“Do we want a recount? NO!” the
multitude roared, and somewhere on
a side street nearby someone revved
a fl athed Ford V-8 engine to cover up
the sound of breaking glass.
The ensuing act of electoral fraud
would be done so clumsily and inept-
ly that within a month the Good Gov-
ernment Congress would be nothing
but an awkward memory in Jackson
County, its leaders behind bars and
its offi ceholders ousted.
Unfortunately for all concerned,
some of those offi ceholders did not
intend to go down without a fi ght.
We’ll talk about that fi ght in the fi nal
installment of this story, next week.

of God. They view Him as the son of
the Only God, a teacher and ‘way-
shower’, who advocates unity with
God and that “It is done unto you
as you believe and that heaven is at
hand”. They believe the force of God
is the only power in the universe and
evil is real as a human experience but
that it only has the power we give it.
“There is more religious toler-
ance today,” Lee said. “I see other
churches coming closer to our be-
liefs in ways you didn’t see 20 years
ago. The Spirit brought me here, and
I am thankful for the opportunity to
see lives delightfully transformed by
fully embracing these principles.”
