Ratify two-year contract, increase of 6.2 per cent

The Lakeland Community School Corporation’s Board of Trustees approved a new twoyear teachers contract at a special meeting Friday, July 1. The board and the Lakeland Community Education Association reached agreement on the contract with the teachers giving their ratification Thursday night. The contract, a $130,000 increase for the next school year, calls for pay increases averaging 6.2 per cent for the 1977-78 school year. Bachelors degree teachers will receive increases ranging from S4BO to S7BO. All master degree teachers will receive an $Bl5 increase. During the second year of the contract, pay increases will vary according to years of teaching experience, with those having more experience receiving larger increases. Raises for the second year should average 5.2 per cent. In addition to salary increases, pay for extra-curricular activities such as boys and girls

athletics, band and chorus will be raised in all areas over the twoi year period. Insurance premium contributions paid by the corporation will also be increased during the period of the contract. Representatives Representing the board in negotiations were Rud Lantz, Donn Kesler and Wendell Bryant. The teachers were represented by Elten Powers, Paul Rush, Lera Reinholt, Donna Wagner and Alan Zerkel. A total of 161 teachers were in the bargaining unit, with 88 per cent ratifying the contract. Negotiations began in February and concluded June 24. Both Lantz and Powers expressed appreciation for the peaceful way the negotiations were handled. Lantz also emphasized that the salary increases may be changed either up or down depending on two things. One is if the state legislature meeting in 1978 appropriates more money for the Lakeland Community Education Association than was originally appropriated in the 1977 session. The other reopener would be if on June 30, 1978, the county auditor certifies that anticipated revenues from local taxes and excise taxes are lower than expected or if the state notifies the board that the originally appropriated $65 per student will not be funded. The board also established administrative salaries for the 1977-78 school year at their meeting Friday. This is an average increase of six per cent. Teachers who hold supervisory responsibilities, not included in the teacher bargaining unit, will receive the following salaries: Marcia Carpenter, girls physical education and assistant athletic director for girls, $17,776; Stanley Grabowicz, French instructor and dean of students, $16,089; Nancy Nelson, director of tutorial reading program, resource rooms and elementary librarian, $13,586. Carl Meditch, athletic director, $19,248; and David McGrew, director of vocational education, $20,451. New salaries for Elementary. Junior High and High School principals include: Lewis Immel,

Lakeland board enters into blacktop sealing contract

The Lakeland Community School Corporation Board of Trustees have entered into a four-year asphalt maintenance contract with Wollman and Sons to seal and maintain all blacktop surfaces of the school corporation for $3,750 per year. This decision came at a special meeting of the board held last Friday, July 1. Even though the contract is a four-year one, it is renewable every year. This means the board can review the contract every year and then decide if they want to renew it for another year or not. This contract was originally submitted to the board two months ago, but no action was taken on it until several questions board members had could be answered by W. O. Wollman, owner of the firm. He came to the last school board meeting in June and answered all questions. He then resubmitted his contract to the board for its decision. Marion (Bud) Lantz, business manager and treasurer, told the board be felt the contract is, “a sound proposal, something we need to take care of our blacktop effectively.” The asphalt seaLng firm will begin work on the blacktop this summer.

WILL CLINIC SET FOR SUNDAY EVENING The prophet Haqgai wrote centuries ago. “Now therefore thus sarth Jehovah ot hosts: Consider your ways. Ye have shown much and bring in little; ye eat. but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you. but there is none warm; and he that eameth wages eameth wages to put It into a bag with holes." These words are filled with meaning and wisdom for today. Men spend a lifetime of work and saving to provide for loved ones. Too olten though, their savings are “put into a bag with holes." Their families receive tar less than intended, because of faulty or improper planning. Staff members from Ozark Bible College will be presenting a Will Clin* at the 7 p.m. service this Sunday evening. All interested persons are invited to attend. The purpose of the seminar is to help church members discover ways to cut or eliminate the needless loss of estate assets. Ozark Bible College representatives do not tell people what to do with their money or belongings, but help them discover the best way to carry out their \ Among the topics to be discussed are: “Property in Joint Names - A Solution or a Problem?"; “Nothing is as Certain as Death and Taxes - Fact or Fallacy’"; “Give it Away While You’re Living - Good Advice or BadT Milford Christian Church Robert Greenwood.

Pat (Mrs. John) McClain of Milford credited the Milford Emergency Medical Services with saving the life of her husband' early last Tuesday morning when he suffered a severe heart attack at his home in Meadow View Addition. The emergency ambulance was called in a moment of high excitement, Mrs. McClain recalls, and the unit responded immediately. She said if it wasn’t for their emergency treatment of her husband prior to arrival at the Goshen Hospital he would have died. Mrs. McClain’s words were relevant testimony to the value of this new community service. And talking about emergency services, when a young lady struck a utility pole on North Main Street in Milford at abotit 8:30 p.m. on Friday, causing the entire town to go dark, members of the Milford fire department went into action to notify NIPSCo men and to direct traffic around the area of the accident.
