continued from page 1 “It has been my honor and privilege to serve the school community and Muncie will always have a special place in my heart.” Following comments by Gorin, members voted 5-0 to accept the resignation letter, which cited unexplained “personal reasons.” King began a 3-year contract July 1, 2008, with Muncie Schools. Before coming to Muncie, King

served 7 years as superintendent of Elementary School District 159 in Matteson, 111. * Meanwhile, during the same meeting, a petition requesting that the Muncie Fieldhouse playing court be named after former Central High School head boys’ basketball coach Bill Harrell was approved by board members. The Friends of Bill Harrell Committee initially pre-

sented the nomination to the board at its Nov. 9 meeting. The honor will include Harrell’s name painted on the court and a plaque bearing his likeness, along with the accomplishments of his coaching career—at no cost to the school corporation. Harrell, a member of the Indiana High School Basketball Hall of Fame, is known for coaching three Indiana state cham-

pionships: 1978, 1979 and 1988. As designed by the committee, the playing floor will be named Bill Harrell Court As outlined in MCS Board Policy 9200 “Meritorious Recognition (Level II)” the naming of space within a facility which reads, “As an alternate to naming an entire building for an individual, some area within a school property may be consid-

ered for naming in his honor such as a gymnasium, stadium, playground, auditorium, library, pool, etc. “With the exception of naming rights, the honored individual should be deceased at least three years and should have been associated in some way with the unit being named.” Harrell died in July 2004.

SNIPES from page 1 is located in northwest Pennsylvania between Bradford and Kane, Pa., approximately 90 miles south of Buffalo, N. Y. Upon his arrival, Snipes was given a routine case management, medical and mental health screening. He'll then be provided with a copy of McKean's rules and regulations.

Within 30 days of arrival, Snipes will be assigned to the admission and orientation (A&O) program, where he'll receive more information about McKean's policies and procedures. After completing orientation, he'll be given some kind of "appropriate work assignment." Institution landscape or food service jobs are usually the first

assignment an inmate receives. Additional factory jobs may become available, but there's currently a waiting list for those assignments. While in prison, Snipes won't be allowed to wear his own clothes, with a few exceptions. He'll be issued prison clothes stamped with a registration number to keep in a private locker. The

McKean prison uniform consists of khaki pants, khaki shirt, belt, safetytoed work shoes and an ID card. Inmates are required to be in full uniform when they are at work, on a callout, at a scheduled program, or in the visiting room. So-called "leisure clothing" can only be worn during travel between the housing units and recreation with no

stops at other departments. Snipes will have limited free time outside of working and sleeping. There are a number of recreational activities available to inmates, including the use of a gym and music room. Snipes will also be able to visit the law library during certain hours.
