HEPPNER GAZETTE-TIMES, Thursday. Ftbruorr 16. 1967 School Directors Agree to Support $5800 Salary Base (Continued from page 1) spoliation support from the state that the district receives. As a result of the misunder standing, it was agreed that it is necessary to develop total policy and "spell out" details on transportation. Mrs Walter Jacobs criticized the school administration for not giving better publicity on bus runs and fully notifying parents. She said that a bus now extends its run to pick up a special education student near their place. While this child at tends lone Instead of Heppner, the same bus goes to Lexing ton and makes connection with a Heppner bus. The Jacobs have been transporting their children by auto, not knowing that the route had been extended. Hav ing learned this, however, they now make arrangements for their children to ride this bus. Riverside Questions Asked Don Turner asked the board questions concerning the River side High school situation, stat ing that he felt a "three minute summary" would be in order to bring the public up to date on the matter. Chairman Irvin Rauch inform ed him that the board was to meet with the district office of the Army Corps in Walla Wal la Wednesday to determine what course to pursue. The lim it date on bids have expired, so a new call will be necessary when plans are firmed up. . Some discussion centered on the cost of the architect,- who has already been paid $69,763. However, another bill was not approved tor payment .by the board, pending investigation in to the matter. The question arose as to whether the architect would de sign another building within the cost limits of the Corps with out additional fee, but this is a question that remains to be answered. Attorney Bob Abrams is checking into details of the contract. The board reviewed how the architect had been hired, after interviewing some 20 possible ones and checking their work. It was also pointed out that ar chitects all charge the same percentage fee and there is no opportunity to call for bids on such services. Field Trips Approved Several field trips were dp proved by the board after plans were presented to them . from various schools. One trip, plan ned by Heppner Elementary sixth grade to Oregon Museum of Science and Industry In Port land In April, was held up for further consideration. Some of the directors felt that the dis tance was too long and that too little time could be spent in the educational activity in Portland (three hours out of the total day). Caution was also expressed that the number of field trips could become too great. Contracts of four administra tors that were due for consid eration this year were .renewed unanimously by the board. They are for Harold Beggs.Ione, one year; Alan Martin, Hepp ner Elementary, one year; Dick Carpenter, Heppner High school, one year; and Ron Daniels, Riv erside High, three years. Mrs. J. W. Fielder, wife of Jack Fielder, Heppner High teacher, was hired to be secre tary in the county office. She has had 21 years experience In office work, Supt Potter said. Harley Young was appointed to the school budget commit tee, to replace Jack VanWinkle, who cannot serve. At a short meeting of the budget commit tee during the evening's" mara thon session, C. E. (Clint) Mc Quarrie was elected chairman of the committee and Mrs. War ren McCoy was elected secre tary. Date tor the next meeting was set for Thursday, March 9.

Needed badly is a res ervoir storage tank, and the city is urging the Corps of En gineers to proceed with con struction of a 1CO.0O0 to 150.000 gallon capa uy tank on a steel tower. The engineers have recom mended an 800,000 gallon stor age reservoir and a second well, but the Boardman city fathers feel that the smaller facility to be constructed at Corps expense is as far as they can go at this time. Without storage, the prospect of a hot summer is dreadful to consider. The pump at the pres ent well would have to run con stantly to begin to keep up with the demand, and it still couldn't do the job without dire J sacrifice by users. For compar ison. Heppner, with a popula- ' tu n of 1"(00, used 1,120.00 gal lons of water per day at the Doak periods last summer Ev en with a 100.000 gallon stor age tank, the population of 400 at Boardman (1967-68 Oregon B'.ue Book listing) would use at least twice its capacity each day. So, ranked in order on the priority list of improvements needed are: 1. elevated water tower; 2. street widening and curbs; 3. a second well; 4. side walks. However, the plan is to in clude the sidewalks at the same time the streets are widened and the curbs installed. School Poses Question Big question mark at Board . man, as it is In the rest of 1 Morrow county, is: What is . going to be done about River side High school? With the i time to vacate old Riverside High drawing irresistably clos er and the district apparently I at an impasse with the U. S. rtflll.Y Ul cilgmrco uil lilt- high cost of construction, it has become a serious problem. Needless to say, Boardman residents would like to see the new school standing finished on the school district property on the northeast side of town. At this time, however, it ap pears that some temporary ar rangement will be necessary to maintain school when the dam's reservoir fills and comes lapping towards the school building. For many years, Boardman has been an oasis for travelers plying the Columbia River highway. With the new town, it takes on an even more in viting role in serving them, and it is about as well prepared for that purpose as a town could be. Five service stations all new offer the top brands of gasoline and oil products. Two sparkling motels the River view and the Nugget are open for business, and it won't be too long until Joe Tatone's im pressive Dodge City also beck ons tourists. , The Dodge City restaurant will be a rather fabulous place with capacity to serve up to 300 persons at once, and its 40- unit mo'cl will be adjacent to it. With the Rlvervlew and the Nugget, Boardman will have 100 rooms available Gleaming restaurants offer fine foods The Nomad, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Harold Baker; the Char Broiler, operated by Bob Reid and Les Moen and built by Emmett McKenzie, with the Hitchin' Post, operated by Jake and Ginny Alexanian, adjoining; and the C and D Drivein, operated by Mrs. Dew ey West and Mrs. Carroll Don ovan. Grange Hall Completed Source of considerable com munity pride is the new Green field Grange hall which shows the interest of an active and enthusiastic membership. The hall Is located a short distance behind the city hall and stands neat and completed, fully paid. Towards the northwest part of town is the new community church in its finishing stages, and surrounding it are fine new homes and many homes that have been moved intact. Some of the owners are doing complete jobs of remodeling their transplanted homes. Hicks Market serves Board man as a brand new grocery, and the brand new Knack Shack, a variety store owned by the Tatones, Is adjacent to a brand new post office.

Mayor West believes that the city should point to its "open house" two years hence. At that time the moving should be complet ed, the curbs and sidewalks should be in, some trees sha i have been planted, lawns will be green, and who knows, the Riverside school may even be built. With the developments port ending great things In the northern part of Morrow county and both Irrigon and Boardman almost inevitably due for con siderable growth through agri cultural and industrial prog ress, it is rather fascinating to contemplate what the two cit ies will be like 10 to 20 years from now. Easy Place to Stop For the present, Boardman beckons the tourist with lofty signs visible along the highway for miles. At dusk, the neon lights and colored display signs look more appropriate for a city of 5000 or more than for a community of 400. It has the advantage of being an easy place to stop. A driver need only turn his wheel a few de grees and he's up the ramp to a gas station. It's an equally easy job to get on the way again Eventually, too, a riverfront park and boat basin, taking ad vantage of the depth of a grav el pit located beside the river, will offer new recreational fa cilities. This will be built by the Army Corps. A section In the downtown district, too, is set aside as a park. Much of the work of devel oping a new city, that now looks glamorous indeed, was wearisome spade work. There is still much of this. At the present time, the city council is in the throes of re-codifylng its ordinances. ' And that," said Mayor West as dusk started to settle over NOTICE Notice Is hereby given that the Oregon State Highway Commission proposes to hold informal informational hear ings pertaining to the propos ed alternate routes of "1-82" connecting I-80N in Oregon and 1-90 in Washington as determ ined by a study and report of a consulting engineering firm.
