Teacher, board relations more cordial A welcome break in the deadlocked negotiations between the Carbon County Education Association and the Carbon County Board of Education was effected Monday night at a meeting of the negotiating teams with the announcement that the CCEA has agreed to set aside the resulting from the dismissal of a secondary supervisor and the subsequent implied" threat of sanction action against the Board of Education in the event the matter was not satisfactorily consummated. The statement which broke the deadlock was read at Monday nights meeting and is as follows: The Carbon County Education Association stilll feels the dismissal of the secondary supervisor was unprofessional and unethical. However, because negotiations are now deadlocked in Carbon, CCEA in a board of directors meeting reassessed its position and now feels that they are no longer obligated to support their parent organization in this matter, and that the position made vacant by the dismissal of the secondary supervisor can be professionally filled, and members of the CCEA will be considered professional in working with whomever is employed. CCEA merely supported UEA as their parent organization at the outset with no thought that this would interfere with negotiations, because the secondary supervisor is not a member of CCEA but is a member of UEA. Since UEA has demonstrated a lack of positive action by not clarifying its position to CCEA, and failing to confirm prior commitments made to CCEA, CCEA feels they are no longer obligated to support the parent organization in this matter. In view of this concession, CCEA hopes that 'negotiations with the Carbon School .Board can in good faith move briskly so that schools may open on time. , This statement, according to CCEA President Lawrence Gonzales, was in answer to a letter from the school board in which it was stated .that the board felt the word sanction was implied in a press release from the CCEA issued in July. .The letter reiterated the boards position that it is a board of education prerogative to hire supervisory personnel. This letter asked that the implications of sanction action be withdrawn so that negotiations could continue. After a caucus by the boards negotiating team. Superintendent J. Grant Kilfoyle thanked the CCEA for making this statement. We feel that this statement does clear the issue that we had before us that was holding up negotiations. We feel that this will satisfy the request that was made (by the board), and we want you to know that we appreciate you doing this and also . Hurrah! state tax drops, but not much Tax relief, slight as it may be but welcome nevertheless, has been announced by the Utah State Tax Commission. The uniform school levy for 1969 has been set at 7.2 mills, h of a mill less than that levied in 1968. one-tent- The commission action, for the year was made possible by an increased state assessed valuation. The cut in actual taxes amounts to 10 cents per $1,000 in assessed valuation. 1969, This levy is down from the figure of the last three years, where it had stayed at 7.3 mills. Before that it was higher. (Continued on Page Two) Carbon doctor unhurt in forced landing Carbon Countys flying radiologist.

This is what Dr. Milton Lee Bauermeister, Carbon Hospital radiologist, did last Thursday while in flight to Idaho. He chose to land in the sagebrush rather than on the main highway west of Soldier Summit. Pictured is pancaked plane with landing gear in the forefront, some 100 feet from where plane came to rest. Photo courtesy of Provo Herald barbed wire fence on his trek to the highmile away, he susway about one-hatained his only injury, a minor barbed-wir- e prick on his hand. As Dr. Bauermeister related the incident for the while in level flight at 12,500 feet over the Scofield Reservoir he encountered severe vibration and heard a metallic clanking from the engine compartment. Oil pressure started falling and he immediately dispatched a mayday which was received by the Salt Lake radio aviation listening service. He reported his position and circumstances adding that if posible he would attempt to reach the Spanish Fork airport. When it became obvious that he could not stay airborne that long, he activated his crash locator beacon and notified Salt Lake that he was going down near a road (Sheep Creek) north of Soldier Summit. After gliding approximately 20 miles it was necessary to land the craft, Dr. Bauermeister related. There was considerable early morning traffic on the highway and rather than take a chance of successfully landing on the road and causing a traffic accident, I elected to land in the sagebrush, fully aware that this would damage the plane. I slowed the p'ane to 80 miles an hour on approach and then just prior to landing slowed to 70 miles an hour or less. The plane was in a flying attitude at landing, the flyer said. The landing gear, as he expected, was torn from beneath the plane by the sagebrush. The plane slid only about 100 feet from the point of impact to its final stop. The switches had been cut and the door had been popped prior to landing in anticipation of needing a fast exit. During lf . r Senator Frank E.

Ar-gyl- e, Thursday will be the big day when parents, friends, and the public are encouraged to attend and see the many articles of clothing, food, and other project accomplishments on display. The project articles will be received from 12 noon to 4:30 p m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, except gardens and flowers which will be received Wednesday. The judging will be done Wednesday by judges, during which time no one will be allowed to visit the exhibits. The gymnasium will be open all day Thursday for the public and friends to visit. Thursday events will include demonstrations starting at 9 a m. in both junior and senior divisions, meal preparation contests. At 10 a m. the senior style dress revue ty will be held behind closed doors. The public speaking contest in both junior and senior divisions will be held in the auditorium starting at 1.30 pm. At 7.30 that evening, the junior style dress revue will be held in conjunction with the fashion show and awards program. All parents and friends of 411 are invited to attend. 4-- gram of putting parts together for a misCol. L. R. Sugerman, in charge of sile, the program at White Sands, is quoted. Im sure they werent expecting 95 percent success, but thats what weve been getting. Athena has pushed the state of the art we've been getting here on the range. Firings of the new Athena H will be interspersed with firings of the standard Athena. Two more standard Athenas are due to be launched in August and September before activity at Green River halts because of a federal funds shortage. In the interim, a launcher at Green River and other equipment will be modified to accommodate the new missile. Sugerman said launches of the missile probably will resume next February with a standard Athena. The first Athena II probably will be launched in May. The new Athena will have a capability of carrying a payload of up to 1,000 rounds. While Air Force officials will. talk freely about the missile and the program, they cannot discuss the top secret payloads the missiles carry over southern Utah, north-caArizona and western New Mexico on their flights to White Sands. The payloads are generally scaled down versions of warheads used on ICBMs and other military space vehicles. The Athena can rocket test packages to ICBM atmosspeeds. This produces the phere same test data that firing an ICBM would ' ' accomplish, but at a lower cost. Firing the Athena over the inland range from Green River to White Sands' also thwarts efforts of foreign powers to monitor telemetry sent from a missile fired over an ocean test range such as Cape r Kennedy or the Pacific Test Range. ' st f Authorize borrowing The Carbon County Board of Education at its meeting of Aug. 7 authorized Clerk Moved Jewkes to borrow funds from local banks on the basis of tax anticipation notes, these funds to be paid when 1969 taxes are collected in November. The authorization was for borrowing up to $1,000,000 in amounts as needed so that interest payments would accrue from the date of each loan rather than on a lump sum. |
