From This Week's Pierceton Press -

To Hire Architect Friday, Jackson

Patrons Want Out Os Corporation

In a jam-packed building of the Whitko Community school corporation, the administration building in Pierceton Monday night, two matters of import were introduced. The first of these was to hire a new architect at a special called public meeting at 7:30 p.m., Friday, April 25; second was the reading of a letter from the Jackson Township School Patrons, requesting their release from the Whitko corporation to become a part of the Manchester Community schools, ine meeting wa% conducted by the president, Maurice Scott, in the usual way. Secretary Eldred Metzger read the minutes of April 7 meeting with board member Robert Steller saying he would not approve the minutes as part of his motion was omitted. He produced a copy of his motion and read it: “Whereas this school corpo-; ration was organized in 1963 for the primary purpose of providing better education for the youth of the Whitko community. Since that time, over $163,000 of taxpayers money has been wasted with nothing accomplished to improve education. If all the people involved had beei really interested in providing bet ter education, the necessary construction, remodeling and reno vations could have been built and accomplished for approxinately $2,855,000 less than the plans estimated at $4.5 million. A large share of this is for appeasement and fringe benefits and this corix>ration simply cannot afford this type of planning. This corporation can afford what is needed. Axe we going to sit here and permit the students of our community to suffer for better education, at least equal to every one of our neighboring school corporations, while more and more money is wasted? Architect fees, cost of well and land, survey fees could be recovered by construction of a high school building on the Thomson site. Therefore, I move that this board immediately instruct the architect and school attorney to advertise for bids and start construction as soon as possible on the Thomson site, the high school building as approved by the Commission on General Education of the Indiana State Board of Education on June 14, S6B, Division of Schoolhouse Planning Project No 2489, dated June 19, 1968.” Byron McCammon, board member, liere read to Steller from Roberts Rules of Orders on the legality of the stating of the motion. In brief the law stated that in keeping the minutes of a meeting there was no object in recording a debate, that only the actions of the board, not what was said, was necessary (abbreviated). The motion to accept the minutes was made by McCam-

mon, seconded by Metzger, but with Steller still protesting his motion of April seventh not being recorded asw„ he made the motion. A polled, vote showed William Helfrich, vice president, abstaining from voting; McCammon, Metzger and Scott, all voting yes and Steller voting no. The minutes of the special called meeting of April 15 were read. This was the meeting which Helfrich did not attend as he was out of town and did not receive his notice of the meeting until 8 a.m., Monday, April 14. (In another article in this same issue there is related an objec tion of Steller’s to the effect that this meeting was illegal, because of Helfrich not receiving his letter earlier.) Metzger made a motion to accept the minutes with McCammon making the sec- 4 ond. The motion carried over the objections of Steller. Routine Business Monroe township farmer Eu“gene Ringgenberg requested permission to speak later in the® evening, when Scott recognized the visitors. He said each person wishing to speak should stand and identify himself or herself, not to ask the same question as had already been asked and to give the person talking the same courtesy he or she would like to receive. The first matter of business was the request of Tom Sittler, Pierceton coach, to attend a basketball coaches clinic at Louisville, Ky., on April 25 and 26. The board granted this request unanimously. Superintendent Frank Knight announced resignations of the following teachers, with the last one, Mrs. Jones, being due to retirement; John Fleck, Pierceton high; Erik Auxt, Pierceton high; Maurice Metzger, South Whitley high school, social studies; Bruce Weaver, Pierceton elementary; Mrs, Alice McCrum Larwill, grade four; Wanda Klingler, Monroe, grade one and two: Carl Kiser, South Whitley, grade five; Mrs. Virginia Schucha, Sidney, grade four; and Mrs. Gretchen Jones, math — at Larwill. The board was unanimous in accepting the resignations and the one retirement. The superintendent then an nounced the “termination” ot Mrs. Julia Metzger and Clare Alexander, fourth and fifth grade teachers at South Whitley, with no explanation of the termination. McCammon made a motion to agree to the termination and Metzger seconded it and it passed. A motion was made by Helfrich to pay claims in the amount of $13,872.06 out of the general fund. This was seconded by Metzger and passed. McCammon said he wanted to make a motion and go on record that he was in favor of a four year high school' building at South Whitley on the site already owned by tne corporation and a 15-room elementary building on the ground already owned >y the corporation at Pierceton. vletzger made the second and discussion ensued on the motion. Steller wondered if it were not necessary to get project approval first, and was answered by Scott that the rmtinn would be

in order first. Helfrich said he would vote on the motion as he did not think it wise to go into the expense of a high school and an elementary school at this time. He pointed out the corporation did have approval for the high school at South Whitley or the Thomson site. A polled vote showed McCammon; Metzger and Scott in favor of McCammons motion and Steller and Helfrich voting against it. Architect’s Release and Claim Attorney Howard Heckher presented the board with a signed release of the contract with architect Richard Miller and his partner, Pressler, and a claim for $1,897, plated April 18. 1969. He said the board would have executed the contract recision and the flatter ’Would be closed when the* claim was paid. President Scott said this could not be done until it could be logged in the budget. * Metzger moved to attach ‘the signed contract to the minutes of the April 15 meeting. McCammon, Metzger and Scott voted yes while Steller and Helfrich abstained from voting. The superintendent reported he was setting up dates for the board to interview architects from 7. p.m., Wednesday, (tonight' through 10 p.m. and was in the process of doing the same for the hours of 7 through 10 Thursday. April 24. The architects contacted and who will be present tonight are Humbrecht and Sherbondy of Fort Wayne; Linn Associates of South Bend; and McQuire, Shook Compton and Richey of Indianaoolis. Those to be scheduled for Thursday night are: Lessig Engineers of Warsaw: Charles W. Cole and sons of South Bend: and Sehenkel Shultz of Fort Wayne. The last firm will be interviewed between 9 and 10 p.m. with the prior two firms still to be confirmed. It was moved by McCammon that these meetings be in public and that the board accept Knight’s schedule. This was seconded by Metzger and carried unanimously. Special Public Meeting The president announced there would be a special called meeting at 7:30 p.m., Friday, for two purposes: One, to act on Miller’s claim; and to hire an architect. This is a public meeting. He reminded the board of the special meeting with Dr. Nelson at 6 p.m., Monday, April 28, and the architect, if the board hires one Friday evening. This is an executive meeting. Appoint Appraisers It was the decision of the board members McCammon, Metzger and Scott, over the objections of Steller and Helfrich, to appoint the Citizen’s Bank of Columbia City and the First National Bank of Warsaw to make a date for the appraisal of the Thomson site. (A description of the property is on file at the administration building.) The attorney suggested the motion include the fact that the corporation no logger needs the property for school purposes.” Helfrich stated his reason for voting against it due to the fact there is no other building started at this time. The motion had been made by Me

Cammon and seconded by Metzger. Other Business A letter from principal Richard Reed, Pierceton high school was read requesting a summer health class. This was approved by the board. The superintendent made a report on tile needed to be replaced at the South Whitley school and the board instructed him to go ahead with the necessary repairs. The work is being done by the Lancaster firm of South .Whitley. The board also instructed the superintendent to get prices and all necessary information on mowers or a mower attachment for the corporation owned tractor to get started on the mowing at once. He is to give this immediate attention. Steller said Mr. Krider at South Whitley is still waiting for an answer as to whether the board wishes him to mow this year or not. Steller made a motion that the Whitko Community School board provide a single equal curriculum for all schools in the corporation for the 1969-70 year, as all pay the same tax rate, and that in the absence of a director of curriculum the superintendent would be held responsible for the equality in all schools and give a report showing these provisions after the beginning of the 69-70 year. This was seconded by Helfrich and was followed by much discussion. McCammon said he thought the curriculurti was up to the principals and the superintendent and he’d hesitate to tie their hands. Metzger said he agreed with McCammon. Scott said it could he possible the board could wind up with three or four students in a class. Steller remarked: “This is why we should have one school.” At this the crowd broke out in a stupendous ap - plause of Steller’s words, the first outbreak since the president had stressed orderliness early in the meeting. The motion was put to poll with Helfrich and Steller voting in favor of it and McCammon. Metzger and Scott voting against it. It did not carry. The three members voting against it had many reasons for not approving the equality of curriculum, one of these-, mentioned by McCammon as being the availability and procuring of licensed and trained teachers. Jackson Patrons Want Out Helfrich said he had a letter to read as follows: Whitko School Board Pierceton. Indiana In 1963 Jackson Township became a part of the Whitko School Carp. Since that time no noticeable improvement in education for our Children has been effected. The sole purpose for organizing was to build a central high school and improve the curriculum. Six years have passed: after the expenditure of a great deal of money and time with no results, we the School Patrons of Jackson Township request to be released from the Whitko School Corporation to become a part of the Manchester Community schools. Jackson Twp. School Patrons The letter was signed by Myjon Metzger. McCammon said it would be necessary to have 51 per cent of the township to allow the Jackson patrons to withdraw from the corporation and that the board would have to have a letter from the North Manchester corporation that it would accept the additional students. Metzger (not to be confused with the board secretary Eldred Metzger) said his attorney had told him 51 per cent was not required, that it was only five per cent. Attorney Heckner said this five per cent was those who voted for the state secretary and this would cause the matter to go to a referendum, and that it might be a long road. Helfrich made the motion to allow the Jackson township patrons to be annexed by the North Manchester system, and this was seconded by Steller. McCammon immediately moved to table the motion. Scott asked him his reason and McCammon said he wanted to make sure “we’re not breaking up until we know where we are going. Walter Werre wanted to know if it was not required to have a legal number of students in a corporation, and if the number went below that, what would happen. The crowd voiced its displeasure at his question. He hotly told them he had listened to them, now he was going to speak. Much more heated discussion transpired with the vote on tabling the motion being acted on by Helfrich and Steller against the tabling and McCammon, Metzger and Scott in favor of the tabling. Scott said the Jackson patrons should remember the motion was not killed, but tabled until further information on the willingness of the Manchester system to accept this, and assurance that this was the wish of the majority of the Jackson pa- ■ trons. One woman said Jackson had no representation on the

board. a Scott asked Metzger if the Manchester system thought it would use the Sidney building and was answered in the affirmative. Open Discussion In the visitors’ part of the program, much discussion centered around the protest of Northern Gases aS to the corporation giving the business to Parity Cylinder, thus taking the money out of the corporation and away from a firm paying taxes into the corporation. Mrs. Richard (E. Marie) Trump represented Northern Gases. owned by her and her husband and located one mile north of town. Many in the crowd expressed support of Mrs. Trump's claim. Nothing was decided, but she presented an invoice to support her claim as to the price comparison to the superintendent after he fail- „ ed to show her a claim of February 11. , Superintendent Knight gave the prices quoted by the Purity Cylinder firm as being less cn equipment. and said the shop teachers were instructed in October to get material needed from Purity Cylinder. Mrs. Trump accused Scott of misleading the public, to which he objected. The results are Mrs. Trump is to give a complete price list to the superintendent for future consideration, which she agreed tc do. Gene Ringgenberg said ho had two points to bring before the hoard: One was that as the board voted on an architect he thought two members of each township should be preseht: the ether was to consider the Whitko appraised value and that the corporation could not expect to do what neighboring corporations are doing. He said that cut of $lB million assessed valuation, sl3 million is rural, and the board should continue to consider who pays the taxes. Richard Ellison of Monroe township said many members in the corporation were net accepting the mandate cf the voters. v Lawrence Wilkinson of Richland township reminded Ellison that there were two elections. Helfrich was more in favor of dissolving the corporation if there would be no peace and harmony. He nfade a motion to that effect at the Last meeting. After much more heated discussion McCammon made a motion to adjourn. Metzger seconded the motion and it carried. The crowd remained in the building talking and arguing for a long time alter the 9:40 adjournment. A IEAUTY Dainty in form, exquisite in coloring are die crepe-paper flowers of Clarkia. If crepe paper were made of a delicate silk fabric and you made flowers from this*, you might have something resembling the blooms of Clarkia. iiiese preuy blossoms of pink, rose, salmon, mauve, carmine, white, red or purple look almost artificial. But they i c real and can be in any garden. They prefer areas where there is little hot weather. They also thrive in dryish soil and in semi-shade, thus endearing themselves to many gardeners with these conditions. Os easiest culture, Clarkia (named for Capt. William Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition) seeds can be sown in early spring for flowering in July, or in fall for earlier blooms. Once started, blossoming continues until frost. the distinctive flowers on 2-foot-tall plants not only beautify the garden but also are excellent for cutting. One true story concerning Clarkia comes from Alaska where this annual grows to perfection. It concerns a judge ai a local flower show who attempted to disqualify an arrangement using clarkias on the grounds that the flowers were artificial! The judge was speedily undeceived.
