School Board and the


Public Get First Look
at Proposed FY18 Budget
by Len Lathrop
After working with principals and senior staff, Business Administrator
Karen Burnell presented the budget for the next school year to the school
board during its Monday regular meeting.
The school board will use its next meeting on the 16th and a special
meeting on the 23rd to review the budget; it is on the school board website
for review, www.sau81.org/district/page/district-budget-2018-2019.
The first look has a budget of $53,573,337, which is an increase over
this fiscal year budget by $498,094. Based on the 2016 appraised property
rate, which will result in a 51-cent increase per $1,000. On the $300,000
home that means a $12.75 per month increase for an annual increase of
$153.
The increase is primarily from agreed-upon contracts, which are salaries
and a 6.5-percent increase in the health insurance rates. Those numbers
are $727,237 in salaries and $495,164 for the health insurance cost. At
the school board meeting, Chairman Lavoie mentioned that the school
department spends over $7 million for health coverage.
If you exclude the contract increase, the operating budget is down
$489,761.
Additional areas of increase included in the budget:
ESOL includes an additional part-time ESOL teacher based on an
increased number of ESOL students.
The facilities budget reflects a decrease, which reflects the
elimination of the funds allocated in FY18 for the Alvirne High School
gymnasium/library roof replacement. Additions to the FY19 budget
include bathroom renovations at AHS, LED parking lot lighting
upgrades at Nottingham West Elementary School, HVAC technical This poem was published in memory of the victims and families of the Las Vegas tragedy on October 1.
vehicle replacement, and gymnasium floor refinishing at Hills Garrison
School. The current HVAC vehicle is approximately 15 years old and
is nearing the end of its serviceable life.

Focus on a Single Element to Get the


Feel of a Remodel for Less Investment
by focusing your efforts on individual elements that have the most
impact.
This growing interior design trend uses a thoughtful approach to
renovation by analyzing what should be replaced to achieve the
desired aesthetic. At the heart of this movement is the idea that a
strong, singular update can change a room dramatically.
That means you can revamp your favorite rooms without invest-
ing in a complete remodel. For example, a new chandelier in the
entryway might be the statement piece you need to welcome guests
in style. Or, rather than ripping out the dining room, explore how a
new dining set with table and chairs can change the entire personal-
ity of the space.
When investing in singular pieces to enhance a room, custom
features reign supreme. The Laura Kirar KALLISTA collection from
Kohler is a great example. Kirar, an internationally renowned design-
er, marries the beauty of natural elements with the pureness of line
and symmetry in the collections bath vanity, mirror and sconces.

Simplify Fall Leaf Cleanup


Apple pie, pumpkins and blooming chrysan-
themums are symbols of autumn. But nothing
signals the arrival of fall more than the millions of
leaves that begin to cascade from the trees as the
temperatures dip.
Many people feel nothing is more beautiful
than the yellow, red, purple, and orange leaves
that coat neighborhoods and countrysides each
fall. But in spite of their beauty, leaves might be
a nuisance to homeowners tasked with removing
the growing piles of them from their lawns. Those
with large oak and maple trees in front of their
homes understand the seemingly endless work of
leaf removal.
As the days begin to grow shorter and colder,
these changes trigger a hormone release in trees,
prompting them to drop their leaves. This chemi-
cal message causes the formation of abscission
cells where the leaf stem meets the branch, say
botanists at the Missouri Botanical Garden. So
rather than merely dropping off of trees when the
wind blows, the leaves actually fall off deliber-
ately.
Bradley Tree & Landscape Left untouched, fallen leaves can contribute
to lawn problems such as poor aeration, mold
growth and moisture issues. Leaves also can tarp to the curbside or to the back of a truck for proper disposal.

permission.
While mentioning things you might not know or have questions
about, the sergeant explained, if the cruiser is running and you
happen to get into the driver seat, there is a sequence that needs to
occur to get the car out of park. Just putting your foot on the brake
pedal and moving the shift lever doesnt make it happen. Every
officer has a second key to the cruiser, so when they get out, the
doors lock with a push of a button. While the vehicle cant be taken
out of park, this protects the contents of the unit.
The Litchfield vehicles are Ford Explorer with the Law Enforcement
package model, which several departments across the country
have experienced carbon dioxide issues. Most documentation has
shown that it is from the way all the equipment is installed. To be
safe, every cruiser has two monitors: one in the cigarette lighter that
measures 3 parts per million and another mounted on the passenger
side between the doors that measures 30 parts per million. Sergeant are most likely in handcuffs.

Power and Precision on Display at Annual Lumberjack Competition


The Hills House grounds were busy Friday night and Saturday
morning as competitors from across the United States and
Canada were there to see who was the fastest in chopping and
sawing with axes and saws. This year for the first time there was
a new event called birling, but might be better known as log
rolling.
While the day was abnormally cold and wet, the action was
fast and powerful, with chips of wood flying out of a log after
being struck twice with very sharp axes that can cost from $500
to $1,000.
Think about sawing with engines that could power a go cart or
lawn mower, cutting through 30-inch-diamater logs three times
in roughly 6 seconds. Some competitors had to cut a slot in a
pole, putting a board into the hole, and then stand on that while
moving up the pole on anther plank to then chop the top off a
log, all while racing against ten other woodsmen.
