Thursday, October 14, 1971
The MBC held its monthly
meeting last Friday and it was a
very informative one. Lou
Donnell was the Special Chairman
for the program, introducing the
special guests.
First on the agenda, and
certainly of interest to everyone
on Mason and Benson Lakes, was
Dick Knight, our District 5 Fire
Chief• He explained the $160,000
levy that will be asked for on the
November ballot. A bond issue
was refused by the voters last
November and as a result we were
left with a 30 year old fire engine
and over $1,000 had to be spent
on it to even keep it running this
year, with many other repairs still
needed.
With this ONE YEAR levy,
Mason Lake would realize a new
fireball, 7:30 p.m. October 27.
The next guests presented by
Lou were Ted Hoffman,
candidate for the Grapeview
School Board and his opponent,
Stuart Marks, from Grapeview.
Each one gave a profile of his
background and reason for
applying for this oosition.
Both candidates -expressed
a-plenty! All this for $5 a couple•
Don't miss it. (you don't have to
come in costume, but it is fun if
you can).
Last Saturday night was the
1st "MBC Family night". Fifty
six attended, including six
children, and it was a great
success... Hot dogs, homemade
pies, coffee and pop for the kids
satisfaction in the education being were enjoyed during the evening•
provided for their children by the
Grapeview School district. They
both are against consolidation
with another district.
Hoffman said he had gone
over the budget records for the
past three years and felt the
Board had excercised very good
judgment in keeping the district
on a sound financial footing. He
approved of the Board's method
The next MBC Family night will
be November 13th. Eight O'clock
is the time; come and enjoy an
evening of fun. Committee heads
would like to thank Pat and Bill
Lewis, My.and Mrs. Wiltse and
Fred Stevenson for their help last
Saturday.
Gadabouts for the week were
Lela and A1 Rodewald who spent
a week with Al's daughter, Hazel
engine, more radio equipment, of building up a fund for school Baker, at Mayfield Lake. Lelaand GRAPEVIEW SCHOOL BOARD candidates Stuart Marks
safety gear for the firemen and a bus replacements. Hazel canned peaches, pears, (left) and Ted Hoffman, running against each other for the
sub-station and engine on the Marks, who said he has tomatoes and applesauce (someposition presently held by Don Pogreba, were guest speakers
other end of the lake. This would attended several meetings of the vacation!) They enjoyed the visit,
at a meeting of the Mason-Benson Center last Friday night.
(See Mason Lake Meandering Column.)
Grapeview School Board, too.
suggested that other taxpayers in News is kinda scarce this time
the district attend meetings to of year, so I would appreciate a
show an interest in the type of call or a note from you. What you
education children in the district, are doing is what makes this
are receiving, to voice opinions column possible.
and see how their tax dollars are
also mean a substantial deduction
in Fire Insurance for many people
too, as the closer to a fire station
your property is, the less you
pay... For instance if you had a
$20,000 policy, you would pay
$ 2 7 1 i f we had NO fire

From time to time, in this column, I have related enjoyable things I
have done, which I probably would not have been able to do if it
weren't for my job as a newspaperwoman. Like dining on French
gourmet food prepared by the high school French class or sipping
champagne with (I should really say "in the presence: Of") the
Governor•
Like everything else, there are two sides to the advantages of being
a journalist• There are a few things I "get to do" in my job that aren't
enjoyable• Not many, I'll admit, because 98 per cent of the time it's a
fun job.
