Show Page Salina Sun 2 March 27. 1996 Todd's PTA supports new building Dear Editor, As a PTA Board, we would like to thank all of those that attended the public meeting last Thursday. We were grateful that you felt it necessary to attend and make it known that you felt that our children and grandchildren need a new building, due to the unsafe building that they are attending at the present time. For those that could not attend (and even those that were there) it is important that you write to the Sevier School District and let them know that you feel it is time we get a new building. Especially with the top tax paying businesses we have in the North Sevier area. This is what is important. Let them know that you want the school in the same area and that we are willing to keep our gym and in trade we would like a new auditorium. Please sit down now and write, because this has to be done Friday, March 29, 1996. Thanks, North Sevier Middle School PTA s Amber Curtis; PTA Secretary. School (continued from page 1) committee would make recommendations to the School Board. Assistant Superintendent Duane Bresee said in a phone interview on Friday that no possible sites for the school have been picked and that sites havent even been discussed, he explained that nothing has been put into any plans. We want to get the ball rolling now so that in two years well be ready. Many in attendance expressed the feelings to begin the ground work and needed studies now. The idea of putting the bond election on the November ballot was also expressed. Wilson then explained that an amendment to the State Constitution would be on the ballot in November. This amendment would allow the State to guarantee bonds thus allowing the states school district to reap better interest rates on the bonds. He said the district would need to study the wording on the ballot to clarify the amendment. He said that people may become confused if the ballot contained two bond issues. Jerold Johnson of the School Board said that the board would study the all options of the issues when the recommendations were made by the by Todd C. Wheeler I heard many people comment on the need to have a new Middle School building during the public meeting at the Middle School on Thursday, March 21, 1996. After seeing the cracks, water damage and deterioration of the building, I have to agree that a new or completely refurbished building is needed. However, what will be come of the old school. Will it be abandoned to fall in further disrepair? Will it be tom down in the wake of a new building? or Will someone care enough about the building to use it for a good purpose? I would hope the later would be true. Growing up in Ogden, I remember the old Weber High School located at one of the major intersections downtown. This school was the setting of countless stories that my parents would relate to our family. My Mom would often go into long discourses about the boy at her school who was so cute that she just had to meet him. She later married him. I remember going to the District offices that were housed in the school and applying for a summer janitorial job. I remember leaving for an LDS mission with the building intact and returning two years later to see the building replaced by a department store and supermarket. Since 1946 IVe have a good supply of varieties and grade sizes For Information or Yield Data Call . . . 970-243-31- 36 attended. Im sure that comer con- jures up more images and memories for someone who attended the school. Im not saying to keep the Middle School building as a school; rather Im saying, a good and useful purpose can be found for the building. Let it be used as a Civic Center or a community center that could be to the benefit of everyone.

They also offer a line a credit and a one time close cost construction loan, which provides both the construction and long-terloan at one time with only one closing cost.

We have a lot of experience and we know how to get the loans through, said BJ. We care about our clients. They are people just like us, says Mary. We want to make people feel comfortable and help them understand what they are doing. We want them to understand why we charge certain fees while processing the loan. She explained that sometimes, because of bad credit, they are unable to find a loan for someone. They said that it is very disappointing when this happens, but they do encourage their clients to by a few months later when things have improved.
