Good Luck at State!
Kilkenny house burns to ground
Back row (l-r): Asst, coach Kelly Swarat, Tori Odinet, Angie Ball, Suzy Heideman,
Niki Sullivan, Jenny Sullivan, coach Dana Heideman; middle row (l-r)-Dawn Boor, Kara
Miller, Maci Childers, Melissa McElligott, Laree Anderson, Brenda Holtz; front row
(l-r)-Stephanie Lemieux, manager Camie Crum, Stephanie Haguewood.
Not much left of Kilkenny home
said they had no choice.
The fire apparently started in
an oil furnace, and no one was
home at the time of the blaze.
There was insurance on the
home.
"W e had just two weeks
before it would have been
finished and ready to move in
to ," John Killkenny said Tues
day. "W e had not petitioned to
get in (to the fire district) but we
had told them we wanted to. It
was all verbal. The fire depart
ment knew we wanted to get
in ."
Kilkenny said the house is
located one half mile outside
Controversy and debate has
arisen locally following Friday’s
fire at the John and Diane
Kilkenny hom e. H eppner
firefighters refused to respond
to the 911 call requesting help,
when it was determined that
the Kilkenny property was out
side the rural fire protection
district boundry.
The Kilkenny's are naturally
upset over the loss of their
newly restored farmhouse,
built by the late federal Judge
John Kilkenny in 1914, but
because of liability problems
and responsibility to members
of the fire district, fire officials
the fire district, and that the
house burned for one half hour
before "it really got going." He
said once the fire got going it
took about an hour to bum
completely to the ground.
Neighbors tried to help but
garden hoses weren't enough.
"W e needed a pumper. One
pumper would have done the
jo b ," Kilkenny said.
Kilkenny said he would like
to see the rural fire protection
policy changed. "S o something
like this doesn't happen again.
Apparently firefighters are
allowed to go outside the
district only for mutual aid and
when someone's life is at risk.
In survey, four-day school week favored
school.
Teachers, who have a con
tract with the district, work as
many hours, but do not have
as many student contact days.
School district officials say they
have tried to limit teacher
workshops and meetings to
Fridays.
Ninety percent of students
responding to the survey
recommended that the four-
day student week continue, as
did 61 percent of the parents,
78 percent of the teachers and
82 percent of the classified
employees.
Only 15 percent of the
parents, three percent of the
teachers and two percent of the
classified employees recom
mended the five-day student
week if cuts were required
Morrow County teachers,
students, parents and school
district classified employees are
in favor of the four-day school
week, according to a survey
conducted by the Morrow
County School District. The
four-day week was implement
ed as a way to save money in
a district hard hit by budget
cuts and state-wide school fun
ding equalization. Savings
were made in utilities, busing,
a reduction in classified staff
hours and substitute costs. Of
ficials say that with a lengthen
ed day, students spend as
much or more time in the
classroom and since most
school sporting events are now
held on Fridays, student
athletes do not miss as much

elsewhere. However 22 percent
of parents, nine percent of
teachers, four percent of
classified staff and three per
cent of students recommended
going back to the five-day
week, with no stipulation of
cuts elsewhere.
Sixty-two percent of the
teachers say that they believe
student learning has been as
successful in the four-day stu
dent week as it would be in a
five-day week and 74 percent
say that they have been affect
ed positively by the four-day
student week.
Fifty-one percent of the
parents say their children are
learning as much as they did on
a five-day schedule. Only 10
percent say the four-day week
has been a problem for their
families.
