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.
