V • Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, November 23, 1994 - FIVE Sch o o l b o a rd The Morrow County School Board M onday evening, November 14, voted to submit a pared down capital improve ment levy to the voters in the March 1995 election. Board members cut over $2 million from a $15,585,000 bond levy that was rejected in March, and by 59 votes in September of this year. The $13,290,000 bond levy is basically the same as the previous levy concerning new classroom construction and remodeling, with two big exceptions-a $1,275,000 gym nasium at Riverside High School in Boardman and a $1,020,000 art, music, cafeteria and gym facility at Heppner Elementary School have been slashed. Other cuts include $400,000 for lockers and a weight room at RHS; $110,000 for restrooms at RHS; a $22,000 greenhouse at Heppner High School; $15,500 each for trash compactors at A.C.Houghton Elementary in Irrigon, Heppner High School and lone High School; $7,690 each for balers at A.C.Houghton, HHS, and IHS; recycle bins at $5,000 each for A.C.Houghton, Columbia Junior High, HHS, Heppner Elementary and IHS. However the costs of some projects w ere increased because of the lapse of time bet ween the initial estimates and the projected completion dates. The board had also con sidered several other bond issue options: option B, which would be the same as option A, but w ithout the Columbia Junior High roof and floor pro jects which have already been completed with contingency and general funds; and option C, which would put four dif ferent bond issues before the voters. Measure 1 would be for classroom construction, re modeling, American Disabil ities requirements and asbestos abatement; measure 2 would be for maintenance and repair only; measure 3 for district wide technology and com munication; and measure 4 for gyttmasium construction at H ejspner E lem entary and Riverside. In other business, the board: -rejected a proposal for an ad ditional teacher inservice day to be scheduled on Thursday, Dec. 15, so that teachers could hear a special speaker who is an authority on assessment of the CIM, or certificate of initial mastery and, CAM, the cer tificate of advanced mastery. CIM and CAM are part of the sta te 's new program , the Educational Act for the 21st Century, which is in the pro cess of implementation and is to be implemented fully for the class of 2000. To achieve the CIM, students must demon strate that they have mastered certain academic benchmarks. cu ts bond Bill Doherty, one of five board members who voted against granting the additional inservice day, argued that with the four-day week, the student should not have any more reductions in classroom time. "The system is for the stu dent," said Doherty. "The stu dent is getting shorted." Board members Scott Bauska and Gary Frederickson voted in favor of th e ad d itio n al inservice. Superintendent Chuck Starr had suggested that the day prior to the inservice would be a fully instructional day, with no Christmas parties, to accom modate the additional lost day. -approved a request on be half of the HHS senior class for approval of a drug and alcohol free trip to Seattle following graduation at no cost to the district; -approved a request to re instate cheerleaders at RHS at no cost to the district; -approved resignations of: Bev Steagall, south end bus driver; Paula Chapin, north end bus driver; Bobbette Lov- gren, special education assis tant; Susan Baker, elementary counselor at Sam Boardman and A.C.Houghton schools ef fective Dec. 31; Jeanne Carroll, science and math teacher at RHS, effective Dec. 31. le v y High fashion at Make It Yourself With W ool contest -approved termination of temporary position held by George W aterland, special ed u catio n a ssistan t at HES/HMS. -approved leave of absence requests from Rosa Rodriguez, north end bus driver from Dec. 8 to Feb. 8; Sarah Carlson, science teacher at HMS from Nov. 28 for balance of school year. -approved transfer of John Larson from head girls basket ball coach at Columbua Junior High to assistant coach posi tion; Approved employment of Carolyn Maret and Julie Er- rend, north end bus drivers; Judy Daniels, head girls basket ball coach at CJH, replacing Larson; Bryan Padberg, C-team basketball coach at HHS; Susan Payne, cheeleader advisor at RHS. -accepted resignation of Bren da McKinley from position on Boardman-Irrigon Advisory Committee. -ap p ro v ed a bid from Lankford-Eckman Construction for $3,960 for a Heppner High School siding project. -approved an easement re quest from the city of Heppner for a water line to be con structed through school district property. > ***:„'* . t m ,, y , * V . .* *'• •- , ■**,*.. !.*?•* . *.. • '.>• - V ' s a * - ' - V. •''A* 5 ' ‘Vv • > > - ; A ; . _ * » ..v , ■ *• ‘f • à ’. . i * - ■'.« .< v ■ ' '. f i s » - ’ '..••• :.V * - * Vf a - -f ■ V‘ .

Birds topic of garden club "Feeding O ur Feathered F rien d s" was the subject presented by Eva Lou Greiner, State Bird chairm an, and member of the Condon Garden Club, at the Nov. 9 lone Garden club meeting. The question as to whether people need to feed the birds. Probably they would survive except in severe weather but people enjoy watching birds so they try to attract them to their yards, was the conclusion. Birds will eat almost any kind of seeds, fruits, suet and bread products. Clean feeders and plenty of water are essential. Interesting pulications shown included "W ild Bird W at chers," magazine and "Dick E. Bird N ew s". Plans for the OFGC state con vention to be held in Pendleton in 1995 were discussed. Guests for the day were Elaine Belts, Blue Mt. Dist. 10 director of Pendleton, Roberta Bowers of Pendleton and Eva Lou Greiner of Condon.
