Hillsboro is a prime example o f the potential for disaster o f having to reply on the safety net In talking with officials from Hillsboro, the follow ing items arc earmarked for reduction in order to operate schools on approximately $2 5 million less than last year -School opened without any buses except special education A ll extra curricular activities and related staff were cut On October 30, half o f the custodians o f six junior high buildings, one custodian from all high schtnil buildings, and all athletic directors -January 25, 45 teachers will be terminated A ll these staffing changes bring on a bumping procedure that ripples throughout the district It is not my intent to make a case for another district but only point out that tfie voting public may not have been fully informed o f the con sequences o f dropping into safety net Hillsboro and may others arc now cxperienceing the full impact o f the safety net and the results are far different than anyone had expected Applying M orrow County to this scenario would show a decrease in revenue o f $731,000, under the safety net Last spring wc were being forced to look at the devastation o f cutting less than halt this amount from our budget had the voters not approved the levy. With the experience that some districts are having, we arc able to sec the consequences without actually having to be a part o f them In this respect, wc are fortunate in not having been one o f the casualties in this learning process. G iven time, the errors in this approach will be corrected In the in tenm. many students arc going to be impacted By informing ourselves as voters, well in advance o f an election. Morrow County shouldn't have to share this unpleasant position As in most new pnx-cv.se», it is easier to get into the net than anyone could predict and at the present time getting out may be impossible (s) Dwayne Carroll Chairman Morrow County School Board . • By Ed Glenn The Boardman City Council learn ed last I ucxlay night that Joe la xk e. la k e Osw ego, a long tmx* Board man developer and booster, had still not made payment to the city on a Local Improvement District (L ID ) provements made to the land in the L ID in 1980 That bond payment ing arc pretty broad " It will be what ever catches the judges e y e ," said Eppcnbach First prize w ill be twenty five dollars, second and third place will be Watermelon Festival Christmas sweatshirts, and " w e 'l l also have som e honorable m ention c e r tifica tes," she said If you live in the Irrigon area and have outdoor Christmas lights up. you are automatically in the contest "W c may even su rprise som ebody," said Eppcnbach Chnstmas decorations are popping up every where and tor the first time in Irrigon. those spectacular outd<x>r lights will be judged The Irrigon Watermelon Festival Committee is sponsoring an outdoor lighting contest to be ju dged December 20. according to IXmna Eppcnbach. treasurer fo r the committee Since it is the first year for the contest, the guidelines for the judg Students excel in national competition H 2 1 0 -9 2 5 5 BARGAINS D o r THB MONTH D O N 'T MI58 THESE EXTRA SPECIAL VALUES N O W AT YOUR LOCAL PRO HARDWARE, HOME CENTER, BUILDING SUPPLY STORES SKIL ‘TWIST" CORDLESS SCREWDRIVER WrTH ( HAÌX.IU 17 " Unk|u* | » « t i to. t * w x ! i l * « i i l i l v * * « j i m I i * i n ( « * r u « M * t 'l i i y * <4 to SOLDERING GUN KIT r o ll r*i.M*i.l rtiUri*! »¿..ft» I I U U.

The council authorized a loan from Inland Empire Bank to make the bond payment, hoping that Locke would eventually make his payment to repay the bank The alternative would be to increase taxes to make the bond payments. Thiit would nearly double the city tax rate which now stands at $9.90 per thousand Councilman Steven Zielinski. M D voiced concern that Locke was in the pnxess of acquiring additional land in the Boardman area and may be diverting cash due the city to that new land purchase Zielinski m ov ed to give Locke an ultimatum to pay up by January 5. 1988, or the city attorney would be instructed to file a lawsuit (lie council allowed that motion to die for want o f a second Councilman Dewey West said Locke was " a very capable man. for whom wc have a lot o f respect."
