PETERSBURG FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH 801 East Walnut Petersburg 812-354-6658 We are Christians following Christ and serving Christ with compassion Worship service 9:30 a.m. EDT; Wednesday night Bible study from 6 -7 p.m. and Wednesday choir practice at 7:30 p.m. Sermon Series: "Every- thing Jesus Taught." This Sunday's sermon will be titled "About Sin." Scrip- ture reading from Luke 4:16 - 21. Theme statement: Je- sus' name implies that he would save people from their sin. Jesus could have done everything else for us without coming down into this world except for tak- ing away our sin. All sin is covered by the blood of Je- sus. Three things Jesus taught about sin. 1. Sin is the root. 2. Sin is a problem. 3. Jesus' blood is the on- ly cure. Leon Pomeroy, Pastor See additional church news beggining on page C-1. HIRING Continued from page 1 asked. "The reason the signatures are not on it is because (Holland) was dealing with an issue at the build- ing and wasn't able to get it typed and over so I could put it in the pack- et," Blake replied. "I offered to type it and have all three names on the bottom. And Chelsea looked at it. Mindy knew it was being submitted, but she's covering a middle school event tonight." "So this was the first choice of hir- ing? " McKinney asked. "That's the name that came from the committee, yes," Blake replied. Board secretary Ron Sharp inter- rupted the exchange between Blake and McKinney to express his sup- port for Stone. "I dealt with her when my father was in the nursing home," Sharp said. "That gal knows her stuff, forward and backward, about fi- nancials. If there's anything that she has a question about, she can have you the answer the next day. She researches things. She stays up-to-date. To me, I just think that she'll be a great asset to our corpo- ration." "I'm not doubting anything about Mrs. Stone's capabilities," McKin- ney shot back. "I'm doubting the process that was followed." "Hold on here," board president David Waltz said. "It's a committee process, and it came out of the pro- cess with the recommendation." Noting that a motion had already been made by Sharp to approve the recommendation, which was sec- onded by board member Steve Pot- ter, McKinney said that he would have preferred tabling the matter. "I think Oct. 2nd for a start date seems, in my opinion, a little bit cra- zy," McKinney said. "When I asked if this was the first recommenda- tion, I don't think that, that is com- pletely accurate." "Out of the committee? " Waltz asked. "Out of the committee," McKin- ney replied. Waltz noted that two of the com- mittee's members – Holland and Yon – were present. "Mr. Holland, I want to poll you," Waltz said. "You don't have to an- swer." "We came out of the committee with the decision," Holland replied. "Was this the first choice? " McK- inney asked. "He said that was the decision," Blake said. "I think Mr. Holland would have spoke up if that wasn't the case," Waltz said. "Right? Are you okay? " "I'm okay with the decision," Hol- land replied. "Chelsea? " Waltz said. "Yes," Yon replied. "Any other questions? " Waltz asked. "No," McKinney replied. Board vice-president Chris Sat- terfield said that he also was con- cerned about having to wait until Oct. 2 for Stone to start. "What's the plan for that? " Waltz asked Blake. Blake replied that school offi- cials have contacted Nelda Gar- land, who retired at the end of the 2016 -17 school year after serving as a school secretary at Pike Central Middle School and Otwell Elemen- tary School. "We've spoken with her about assisting with the training, so we are not burdening some of the oth- er employees," Blake said. "But we do know we can go to any of them. Chelsea is also able to do it and has said she would do it. The bonding's already covered. We have the em- ployees on the checking account. It's in place. It will be handled." "The primary reason on the delay of the start date is not her choice," Blake added. "That's her corpo- ration because of the position she holds." The motion to approve the com- mittee's recommendation passed by a 4-1 vote, with McKinney casting the dissenting vote. Stone will be replacing Debbie Ju- lian, who retired after 30 years as Pike Central's ECA treasurer at the end of the 2016 -17 school year. In other business, the school board held the first reading of a policy regarding the distribution of teacher appreciation grants. According to new guidelines is- sued by the Indiana Department of Education, Blake noted, there must be at least a 25 percent difference between the amount given to teach- ers who are rated "effective" and the amount given to teachers who are rated "highly effective." "You can't really give a specific amount because the stipend's going to be based on our ADM, and we're not going to know it before this had to be submitted to the state," Blake said. "The calculation is $ 300 per student. So, with an estimate, the 25 percent would be about $100 dif- ference between the effective and the high effective teacher." The school board also approved the following personnel actions: RESIGNATION • Jennifer Turner as cafeteria worker at Winslow Elementary School. APPOINTMENTS • Michelle White as special ed- ucation aide at Pike Central High School. • Bridget Butcher as instruction aide at Pike Central High School. • Daphne Holland as special edu- cation teacher at Pike Central High School. • Bill Gadberry as head mechan- ic. • Judy Richardson as teaching assistant at Winslow Elementary School. • Kim Nalley as homebound in- structor for five hours per week for a middle school student for the 2017- 18 school year. Blake also announced that there had been a reduction made in the proposed 2018 budget in the capi- tal projects fund, from $5,361,755 to $5,328,371, which lowers the to- tal proposed budget by $ 33,384 to $25,377,204. "Why did the capital projects (fund) go down? " McKinney asked. "We anticipate that when it comes back, it's actually going to be cut down to around $2.2 million," Blake said. "This past year was $2.2 (mil- lion). Sometimes it's as much as $2.5 (million) but it's just mainly trying to make sure that we pro- tect everything as much as we can. Sometimes to get the rate where you want, the levy or the appropria- tions side goes down."
