Each two-man team, Dillon told the school board, is respon- sible for providing their own boat and adult captain. "You can't show up at a tour- nament and have two kids say, 'Hey, we want to fish,'" Dillon said. "You've got to show up with your adult captain and a boat." Each adult boat captain is required to undergo a back- ground check, and provide documented proof of boat own- ers liability insurance – with a minimum of $ 300,000 per oc- currence – covering the boat being used. Dillon noted that several ar- ea schools – including South- ridge and Wood Memorial – already have competitive bass fishing clubs. In order to compete, a mini- mum of two high school student athletes and a minimum of one advisor is required. Student ath- letes must obtain a high school membership through B.A.S.S. – which is $10 per student per year and includes a yearly mem- bership to B.A.S.S., insurance coverage for all B.A.S.S. and club events and a one year's subscription to Bassmaster Magazine – in order to com - pete in a B.A.S.S. tournament. In addition to competing, Dil- lon said that the bass fishing club would also conduct "how- to" clinics. "That's just explaining, may- be, how to fish different lures, how to wrap a rod, how to string up different types of reels," Dil- lon said. In addition, the club would be involved in conservation proj- ects and have guest speakers. "We would also have safe- ty programs – how to conduct yourself on the water, how to properly wear a life jacket, the proper way to board a boat, first-aid kits contents and use, and water safety, of course," Dillon said. The bass fishing club would also hold fundraising events to cover its expenses, as well as seek sponsors. The dates and sites for the 2019 B.A.S.S. High School Opens will be announced in January or February, Dillon noted. "There are usually four or five tournaments, and then you would need to qualify for a state championship," Dillon said. "The entry fees are $25 per team per tournament. Per team is not per club – per team is per two people on a boat." Dillon noted that there were approximately five area tour- naments through the B.A.S.S. High School Nation. "IP&L holds a few on Glen- dale, and there's a group that holds a few on Huntingburg Lake," Dillon said. At the conclusion of Dillon's presentation, Chuck Condiff, who serves as the advisor for Wood Memorial's bass fishing club, told the school board that the Oakland City high school competed for the first time in 2018 with two two-man teams. "I was one of the boat cap- tains, and one of the other boys' father, he was a captain, but I had others who'd step in to help if needed," Condiff said. "But, since last year, with what hap- pened this year, we're going to have more. We've already got eight more that have said, 'We're in.'" Condiff said that there were 153 teams last year throughout the state of Indiana. "The year before, they had 92," Condiff said. "It's really growing, and it's big in college. And it's really good for boys and girls. There are some girls that competed that are very good." Condiff also told the school board that representatives from Gibson Southern and Prince- ton have expressed interest in starting their own bass fishing clubs. "I think it's good for this ar- ea," Condiff said. "I really do." On a motion by board pres- ident Satterfield, seconded by board member Ron Sharp, the school board voted 5 -0 to ap- prove the bass fishing club. "I think it's a great idea," said board member Chris McKin- ney. "I do, too," board member Steve Potter added. "I think it's fantastic," board member Dave Waltz said. "And you did a great job on this." The school board also ap- proved a request by Pike Cen- tral High School German in- structor Fritz Krahl to ap- prove an 11-day trip to Germa- ny, Switzerland and Austria in June 2020. "I understand that this nor- mally has to happen, according to the handbook, in 3-year in- tervals; however, I had several who could not take this year's trip and want to do so in their senior year," Krahl wrote in a letter addressed to the school board. "A similar situation oc- curred after my 2005 trip, after which permission was granted to do this in 2007." "He's asking for consider- ation of approval so that they would have time to increase their fundraising efforts," School Superintendent Su - zanne Blake told the school board. In other action, the school board voted unanimously to approve a resolution appropri- ating $1 million from the school corporation's Rainy Day Fund to Construction Services and to accept a $2,400 training grant from Old National Bank to the Pike Central High School's Project Lead the Way program and a $5,000 donation from Coca-Cola as part of its yearly sponsorship. In addition, the school board accepted a quarterly donation of $ 865.94 from German Amer- ican Bank as part of the bank's School Spirit Card Program. "Last time, it was $ 398," Blake told the board. "Our very first deposit from there in December 2017 was $289. And they've told us that we are the highest group with German American Bank receiving this type of donation. So keep swip- ing those debit cards." In other business, the school board approved the purchase of one additional activity bus and a mini-van; approved fundrais- er requests submitted by Pe- tersburg Elementary School assistant principal Ryne Bies- terveld and Winslow Elemen- tary School principal Ritch Luker; approved the 2018 -2019 teacher and administrative con- tract amounts; and approved a list of bus drivers for the 2018 - 2019 school year. Blake also updated the school board on the fund balances. As of July 31, they were: General Fund – $ 314,582.49; Debt Ser- vice Fund – $218,974.95; Re- tirement/Severance Bond Debt Fund – $ 67,172; Capital Projects Fund – negative- $250,973.63; Transportation Operat- ing Fund – $ 3,138,382.20 ; Bus Replacement Fund – $135,649.60 ; Rainy Day Fund – $2,210,528.41; School Lunch Fund – $155,226.41; and Self- Insurance Fund – $ 858,203.60.
