Fighting for schools
By Herb Swett
Correspondent, The Sun
Mixed martial arts are on
their way to the Willamina
school grounds.
"We're trying to think out-
side the box to raise more
money," Willamina Athletic
Director Jerry Buczynski told
the School Board on Monday
night during a presentation on
plans to use the gym on May
14 for an amateur MMA
competition. The project is
titled "Fight for Our Schools."
If the first event succeeds
there could be more sched-
uled.
Buczynski said a "low
ball" revenue estimate for the
event would be $5,000. He
told the board that the Oregon
State Athletic Commission
would provide judges and a
doctor, whom the district
would pay.
Asked by school board
member Run Smith about li-
ability, Buczynski said that a
$10,000 surety bond given by
Knucklehead Fight Promotion
LLC, a Willamina company,
and bound to the Athletic Com-
mission, would cover liability
for such events.
Chairman Dan Heidt asked
who would provide security.
Ray Carpenter, a local MMA
organizer, said it would be pro-
vided by the district but
amount only to a few crowd
monitors.
Buczynski said any events
would be amateur, so that pro-
ceeds would go to the district
and any other sponsors, with no
purses for the athletes.
The board unanimously ap-
proved the event.
The board approved trans-
ferring $43,000 from the gen-
eral fund to match a contribu-
tion from Willamina Lumber
for Phase 1 of constructing a
multipurpose building.
Also approved was a $500
contribution from Jeffery's of-
fice to help fund a senior project
by Cody Heidt, a Willamina
High School student. The
project involves obtaining two
automatic electronic defib-
riUators (AEDs) for the district.
The AEDs, which come with
instructions, are used in treat-
ing attacks ofventricular fibril-
lation and cardiac airest.
Other items approved were:
• Contract renewals of 57
district employees.
• Reappointment of
Tammy Heidt to the budget
committee for a three-year term.
• Declaration of the
district's Grand Ronde property
as "surplus and of no educa-
tional value" so it can be put
up for sale.
Filing deadline Thursday
for school board positions
With the deadline approaching this week to file to run
for a seat on the Willamina School Board, three of four in-
cumbents have filed.
Clinton Coblentz, Craig Johnson and Run Smith have
all filed for re-election, and were running unopposed, but as
of Monday afternoon Dan Heidt had not yet filed with the
Polk County Clerk's Office.
All paperwork must be filed with the Polk County Clerk
by 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 17.
The deadline for those wishing to seek a position on the
Sheridan School Board is also March 17 with Yamhill
County.
Three have filed for Position 3, currently held by Mary
Leith. They are Muriel Ablard, Michael Griffith and
Harvey Hall. No one has filed for the position held by
Judy Breeden.

and the loyalty of family and
friends. She was employed by

visits from the girls.

Stoddard is a very active
centurion. She stays busy with
quilting, and sewing crafts for
bazaars and family. She travels
with her daughter Luann and
son-in-law Jerry often to visit
family around the state of Or-
egon. One of her favorite pas-
times has been to walk the Or-
egon Coast beaches and look
for agates and shells.
Now, Stoddard resides in
Redmond, Ore. in her own
apartment. She enjoys coffee
and cookies for breakfast, col-
lecting dolls and family pic-
tures. She is currently a five-
generation grandmother with
six grandchildren, 11 great-
grandchildren and four great-
great-grandchildren.

family and friends with an open
house on April 10 at the Wil-

April 18 with media and enter-
tainment fit for a queen.

A Time to Remember. They are pictured here with members of the Sheridan
Days Committee Karen Christiansen, Wendy Bird and Bob White. One of the
girls submitted "A Summer to Remember" and the other entered "A Year to
Remember," Bird said, and the selection committee decided to combine the two
and name both as winners.
