Letters to the Editor
Rawlins asks support for Fresh Start
: •
*
To the Editor:
For many years I have been pro
ud o f M orrow County schools and
thankful for having been a student
here, a parent o f four children who
graduated here and a teacher in high
schools here for 19 years People
here have a history o f supporting
schools (w ith ups and downs, o f
course), but steadily moving toward
better and better schools
But now we have come on bad
times In the fail o f 19H3 our present
supt came and sold the board on h ir
ing a professional negotiator from
the OSBA and strongly recommend
ed the faculty hire one from the OFA
(which they did not want to do)
T nuiblc began Most o f us took lit
tie note o f it then, we were ac
customed successful negotiation bet
ween board and faculty. But since
'83 our school problems have grown
progressively worse until they arc at
the lowest eb in 30 years I can well
remember Through it all. the board
has supported this superintendent's
p o lic ie s and the pro fessio na l
negotiator A sco nflici mounted, our
children ami young people seemed
to be largely forgotten
W hile
schools were tom apart, faculties
divided, principals put ‘ ‘ between a
rock and hard place,” and every
group in our communities, even
families were in controversy, the
board and supt did nothing to
alleviate it Even when a group o f
concerned citizens made a proposal
which the board accepted and which
retu rn e d
teachers
lo
th e ir
classrooms, an insulting letter o f
reprimand was sent from the district
signed by board members to each
one in that group Then the hoard
changed the wording o f the agree
ment and contracts arc still not sign
cd The public is given only vague
inform ation, but it seems both we
and the faculty have lost control. tur
nmg suit and counter suit over to the
union attorneys who care more ah nit

winning their case than for children
in M orrow County classrooms
When w ill H cud ’
No one has wim anything But the
biggest losers arc our children and
young pcr»plc whom we owe the best
schools we can provide that they
may have informed, perceptive, pnv
ductivc lives Isn't it time we stood
up for them ’ is n ’t it time to dismiss
a supt who has in s u years proven
that he is unsatisfactory for Morrow
County ’ Time we said a plague on
b oth
the O S B A
and OF.A
negotiators'* Only (he hoard can ac
cornplish this Since they refuse,
what choice have we other than
replacing them'* After months o f
dismay and sleepless night hours. I
have accepted the d iffic u lt task of
assisting the Fresh Start gnmp in cir
culating petitions for their recall I
have mdhing personal against any o f
them, but in conscience. I must just
do this, trying to return us to more
o f a focus on our children and our
young people, what schools mean in
their future We must accpet a
w orldwide truth that the strength o f
any school (from one-room country
to the greatest universities! derives
from its faculty in its classrooms
We must try. as form er boards and
supts have, to provide a climate that
w ill attract good teachers, one where
they can work in harmony with each
other, with administrators and the
community.
I feel it's time we have an oppor
ninny to v(4c our hearts and minds
on the secret ball«* w ith no fear o f
re c rim in a tio n
fro m
frie n d s ,
employers, customers, fam ily or
anyone I t ’ s the only way we can
know if the people o f our county

Symbols or the
Real Thing
Symbols can become very important
in any civilization
Religious symbols are some o f the
oldest known to man and remain some
o f the most important A cross, for ex
ample, is one o f the most widely
recognized symbols in the Christian
world
Business sym bols are w id e ly
recognized, from IBM to the Golden
Arches Political symbol* like the
By Fd Glenn
fam iliar elephant and donkey, sym
bolizing the maior political parties in
the US. arc widely recognized
Nationalist symbols, usually incor
porated in a flag, are some o f the most widely revered symbols o f our
modem w orld Our own flag certainly has world wide recognition
Sometimes a symbol has such intense rclatHHt to the thing it symbiHizes.
that it becomes the thing itself. Take that dollar h ill you may have in your
pocket al this very moment
In man's early c is ili/a tio n . most things o f value, like food, had a
perishable nature Value was a fleeting thing, here today. spoiled and gone-
tomorrow It's no surprise then that nun sought and found a store houve
o f value, in the form o f a more durable g<x<d Gold pretty. rare, useful.
durable became an early store house o f value
Even in our early history, gold coins were the principal means o f sti>r
ing value from one season to the next, from one generation to the next
Evolution o f our ntoncy system has lead uv from gold coins through gold
and silver certificates to mere m*es (X ir dollar hill no longer has any value
except as a symbol o f value And most o f the value we store is represented
by mere zeros on a hank statement
Our symbols o f money, our dollar hills and hank statements have nude
the complete transition from symbol to the real thing If ymi hum a dollat
h ill you burn not just the symbol, hut you in tact burn the real thing Thai
dollar is destroyed forever
But not so w ith our flag
Our flag is symbolic o f a nation in which the tree interchange o f inlor
mat ion. ideas, opinions, the right to speak our mind is one o l the most
cherished parts This is a place a geographic area o f the w orld. 50 states,
most o f one continent, where the people elect those who u ill govern Ami
where ideas arc spoken, heard and considered; adopted and rejected on
their own merit Where government is constantly examined, questioned
and challenged lo the end that it he the best government we can devise
W ithout that interchange ot ideas, we could fall victim to a government
controlled “ party line ” where we arc not permitted to hear about the
overspending on weapons systems, the plight o f the poor and homeless,
the dangers o f nuc lear reactors or the peril o f tarm chemicals If we can
nut hear about those things, we cannot nuke an informed choice ahnul
the politicians who we charge with decisions about them
And our government is no longer *' w ith the consent o f the governed
(Some o f us think we need more inform ation, ideas and opinions rather
than fewer.)
It is not enough to grant us merely the right to speak our minds Few
voices arc strong enough to he heard by nunv without some kind o f aid
It helps to stand on a soap box in the city park A sign on the picket
line helps spread the idea W riting it down tor publication in the local paper,
can spread an idea much wider than mere speaking An anchorman on
network TV has a huge audience
Everyone dttes m>t have ready access to national T V . nor for that nut
ter. the local paper Many ideas must he presented in a way that captures
the attention o f those who do The lunch counter sit ins o f twenty-five years
ago gained newspaper head lines that mere expression ot the idea would
not have Both sides o f the abortion issue are today spreading the word
more emphatically than a soap hox in the park
Some radical ideas require a radical means o f communication The war
in Viet Nam prompted some pretty radical attention getters some years
ago And those ideas finally did take hold, spread and became the majori
tv position Would we still he lighting that war i f those ideas had not been
radically presented*
As I see it. burning the Hag. as a means o f conveying an idea, however
radical, unpopular, or screwball it ttuv he. is the ultm u tc proof o f the
very value for which that (lag stands The nation and the ideals held bv
its people are so strong, so right, so just, that mere desecration o f its sym
bol to convey an iilea, makes it stronger, not weaker and proves the justness
o f those ideals rather than the contrary
To outlaw the desecration o f the Hag o f the United States docs greater
injustice to the ideals that flag symbolizes than the desecration itself
I'm proud to salute the flag o f a nation that is so tree it san be receptive
to every idea, espoused bv every man. in every wav
