Dong Yongue gave a 1 progress report on the cohstruction of 'West Robeson High to the Robeson Co. Board of Education Tuesday evening. Mr. Yongue reported that the progress was about two weeks behind, but there was plans to "catch up." The board agreed to accept the offer from Pilot Life Insurance Co. for student scholastic, summer migrant and football! insurance. fhe fees will be 135 for student scholastic. .50 for summer migrant students. 138.25 for varsity football and 13.50 for grades 7. 8 and 9. They also passed a continuing resolution to allow the administration to pay bills beginning with the 1982-83 school year until the board officially adopts a budget for the next school year. In other action they approved Townsend Middle School's initial request to make preliminary application to the Southern Association for accreditation. They agreed to the reorganization of the football program in response to a letter from Jerry Long, president of the Lumber River, Athletic Association. It was his desire to eliminate one of the football teams by placing the 7th, 8th and 9th grade students on the junior varsity team and the 10th. 11th. and 12th grade players on the varsity team. This was done in air attempt to save money. They also approved requests for a year's leave of absence from Mrs. Tanya Smith Wallwork of Rowland Middle School and Mrs. Connie Bullard of R.B. Dean School. The board authorized superintendent Pumell Swett to explore ways and means to purchase a garbage truck and pick up the schools' garbage. The county commis sioners recently cut out the amount of funds they had been spending for picking up the county schools' garbage. The board voted to officially record the action taken in executive session May 18 regarding the de- annexation of Clybura Pines- Country Club areas from the Lumberton Gty Schools. That proposal was as follows: 1. That all students in grades k-12 in the Clyburn Pines- Country Club area bes assigned to fhe Lumberton City Schools.1 for the 1982-83 school year. mat effective July 1, iv&j. tne tiyourn Pines- Country Gub area becomes a part of the Robeson County School District with the following pupil assignment plan: All students in grades k-9 will be assigned to the Robeson County Schools and students in grade 10-12 will be given the opportunity to decide between the Robe son County Schools and the Lumberton City Schools for the completion of their high school program. After July 1, 1983, no bus transportation will be provided to students who opt to attend the Lumberton City Schools. Much discussion followed this motion. Ronald Hammonds was very concerned about the recent publicity on the matter. He was assured by the chairman, superintendent and the attorney that no other negotiations had been entered into. Although it was brought out that Ham monds made the motion in executive session for the proposal, he cast the only opposing vote for making the proposal public. Added to the agenda was a group of citizens from the Hilly Branch area. The spokes person was Ann Gerald who introduced Rev. A.G. Thompson whom she said was the person responsible for securing the land for the erection of the Wily Branch School. Mrs. Gerald asked that the board consider naming the Robeson County Career Center (located at Hilly Branch) the Robeson County Career Center at Hilly Branch. "Why change the name?" she asked. "...R is a part of our heritage." After her presentation, Lillian F. Lock!ear, who chaired the committee for the name change from HUly Branch Vocational Center to Career Center, stated, "While we respect and appreciate the concerns of the people here, it is the consensus df that committee that we made a sound recommendation....We should deny their request. I so move." Prior to the vote on Loddear's motion. John A. Gibson spoke at length. Said He, "1 am not ready....The reason is clear... We have a group of alumni from the schooi ftsiing tot ft simple rftjucftk*a. i thing we ought to csnridsr it....I ask for a resdadbtg motion on thia...I know we aren't going to change the namsiof Little Ottuiti." The audience applauded his statements and Gibson continued. "We don't want to see our heritage go down the stream. If every school's name were going to be changed to Robeson County. 1 would have nothing else to say....Our duty is to see that people get what they want....They ask for one little thing, at Hilly Branch, is that asking too much? Are we too little to back and rescind the thing?" Gibson offered an amendment to LockJear's motion. "He wanted the amen dment to read that the center name be changed to Robeson County Career Center at Hilly Branch. His motion was seconded by Rufus Graham. More discussion followed. During which Supt. Swett stated that adding the three Ufords "might be a compromise." He said. "Th?* board would not be retreating.. We have been offered a compromise which might be worth xonsidering Something struck a chord In my body that says it is worthy of considering." * The board recessed and J.R. Mussle ?Mte offered a substitute motion. He ?*>ved that the matter return to the > mmittee and a decision be made at the Hltiy meeting. His motion w'as carried unanimously. PEMBROKE RESCUE SQUAD ASKS FOR HELP AT PEMBROKE COUNCIL MEETING BY CONNIE GLEAVE At the Monday night Town of Pembroke meeting a zoning request to change property on the Sooth side of First St. was aired. The action to allow Ron Capp to sell mobile homes on the lot neat to the Texaco Station was denied. Charlie Revels from the Pembroke Rescue Squad made a plea to the town officials for funds to pay insurance on the operates ona rofilSM^sbaMdoMnot charge for their services, it has to appropriate funds from the county for operational expenses. Revels felt if the Town of Pembroke could help out with these two expenses would help diem out. But the Town officials explained that since the City's budget proposal is to be heard next Monday night it might be better if Revels attended that meeting to see if those items could be worked into the budget. The increase on the lease on the Court House was approved and the additional fee for water supply was also carried. Mayor Jacobs ruled that a joint meeting of the board and the planning board shall be held to look over several locations requesting to be re-zoned. The audit contract was again rewarded to Edwards St Lewis and the matter of an advisory group for the PSU TV Channel was discussed. The Town board agreed that they would have to view a written assignment of contract proposal before making a decision. John Robinson of Pembroke Community Workshop asked the board for permission to erect a shelter for the up-coming Fanner's Market located on the vacant lot next to the Pembroke Upholstery Shop. This ?tit, was tahknl .mrfl Monday so the Attorney for the Town, Dexter Brooks can look the ihatter over. A citizen, Vefana Mitchuson, pleaded with the Town officials to do something about the traffic on Sundays and also about the public drinking of beer on the streets and of all the profane language used. Mayor Jacobs stated that until some one came up with a definite solution the matter could not be dealt with. Reggie Oxen dine announced to the Town officials the retirement of Mr. Boyd Carter from the N. C. Department of Transporta tion after 35 years of service. Mr. Carter was the first minority road maintenance supervisor with the Department in the state. Mr. Archie Brooks who wfll replace Mr. Carter was also in attendance. He is a PSU graduate and has been with the Department for 10 years. _ LRDA IN ACTION Plate Sale for Miss Lumbee Friday BY GABBY AlABON MBS U7MBB19ttPLAT* UU I a . ? ? 1 Than wil be i Bariniadii aad Chicken Hal* Sala to fha Pambrake Tow* ParH. ffrkto^Jaaa 11. 1M2.
