BISD buys buses, portables
Action by Bastrop Independent
School District trustees Tuesday
will allow the district to buy five
portable buildings and ten new
school buses for the coming school
year.
Trustees voted unanimously to
buy four portable buildings to be
placed on the elementary school
campus and one portable building
for the Special Education Coop on
Pine Street.
According to Assistant Superin-
tendent Harry Stracener, the dis-
trict will pay $28,638 each for the
four buildings to be placed on the
elementary campus and a portion
of that cost for the portable to ex-
pand the special education facility.
Stracener said the cost of the
portable for the Special Education
Coop will be shared with neighbor-
ing school districts that use the fa-
cility.
Stracener said the buildings will
be purchased from the Noble W.
Walker Co. of Austin and deli-
vered and installed by the begin-
ning of the 1988-89 school year.
The 10, 72-passenger buses will
be purchased from the Bluebird
Bus Company. Eight of the buses
have a conventional Bluebird body
and an International chassis with a
DT466diesal engine. They will be
purchased for $38,627 each.
Two of the buses have a forward
control or snub-nose body and will
cost the district $37,996 each

Office expenses raise questions in Garfield
A $712 expenditure for office
supplies in January raised eye-
brows at an orientation for new city
council members in Garfield
Thursday.
Mayor Richard Hanshew said af-
ter looking at expenditures in the
1987-88 city budget he was con-
cerned that more money was spent
for office supplies that month than
has been spent on roads all year.
"The roads are what we're here
for," said Hanshew.
In her report to the new city
council members Garfield City
Secretary Doris Gossitt said a to-
tal of $ 1,405 has been spent on
office supplies in the city since Oc-
tober, the beginning of the new fis-
cal year, while only $350 has been
spent for repair and maintenance
of roads.
Gossitt said the high expenditure
in January was for reimbursement
of the former city secretary for
money she spent out of her own
pocket for city supplies she pur-
chased while she held the position.
Other costs were associated with
setting up the new Garfield City
Hall.
.Qossitt said currently $1,576 is
budgeted for roads in the city and
$1,463 is budgeted for office
supplies.
Newly elected council member
Dorothy Burt said the city needs to
appeal to the public for volunteer
labor to help repair the roads since
there is money in the budget for
patching materials.
Burt said road repairs are badly
needed on Caldwell Lane and in the
River Timbers area.
"We're going to have to put our
feelers out and get the people to
donate their time and we do have
people who will donate their trucks
and time," said Burt.
"I think if we put every effort
into it we can get what we need to
get it done," she said.
Council member Faye Halsey
said in the past "it has been dog
eat dog" and individual residents
have been concerned only with
roads in their sections of town.
"This is the city of Garfield and
we should be working as a crew of
people to do all of it not just one
street," said Halsey.
"I've heard again and again
when I asked certain people to
donate their truck to help over here
'no, only for the Timbers'. Now
we've got a truck and we don't
need anyone to donate a truck," he
said.
"We've been pulling apart on a
lot of this stuff and we shouldn't-
be doing it," said Halsey. "We
should be working for the city of
Garfield in repairing this stUff and
doing this stuff," he said.
Search for new BHS principal narrowed to 15
' The search for a Hew principal
for Bastrop High School is near-
ing an end.
Bastrop Independent School Dis-
trict Superintendent Patrick
Deviney said Friday about 15 can-
didates have been selected from
101 applicants for the job and a fi-
nal decision on a new BHS prin-
cipal is expected in June.
"We havt naif owed it down to'
15 candidates and have ranked
those and are in the process of con-
tacting them," said Deviney.
"Some of these (applicants) have
already made other decisions so we
really don't have 15 at this point,
but we still have plenty to draw
from," he said.
Deviney said the district is now

in the process of interviewing and
will soon narrow the field down to
three candidates.
"We've interviewed two and we
have several interviews scheduled
for next week," he said.
"We've gone through a fairly
lengthy process of screening,
utilizing staff members at the high
school campus, the department
chairmen," said Deviney.
"After we finish interviewing
we will be presenting about three
candidates to the board for them to
review," he said.
Deviney said he will make a
recommendation but the final
selection of the new principal will
be up to the board.
Mary Alice Obermiller will con-
tinue in her capacity as interrim
principal through the end of the
school year," said Deviney.
"She's really done a great job
for us," he said.
Obermiller was selected as inter-
rim principal after Deviney reas-
signed former BHS Principal Dave
Summers in February. Summers,
who was reassigned as an aide to
the superintendent, has since
resigned his position with the dis-
trict effective June 1.

According to the American
Cancer Society, one out of ten
women in the United States will
develop breast cancer sometime
in her lifetime. It is currently
estimated that over 37,000
women die each year as the
result of breast cancer.
Ninety percent of breast
cancers are diagnosed by
women or their physicians fin-
ding a lump in the breast.
Women who are diagnosed with
a lump large enough to feel
have a 50 percent five year sur-
vival rate. A woman who is
diagnosed as having breast
cancer by mammography,
before a lump can be felt, has
a 97% five year survival rate
and a 90% 10 year survival
rate.
A mammogram can detect a
cancer this small, • even
before it can be felt.
A female technologist who is
highly trained in mam-
mography will perform the
examination.
The charge for the screening
mammogram is $60.00. The
Unit accepts cash, check, Visa,
Mastercard and American
Express.
— «
A screening mammogram is
an x-ray of the breast using ex-
tremely low dosages of radia-
tion (usually comparable to
dental x-rays) and is designed to
find very early cancers.
The Mobile Breast Cancer
Detection Unit will be in the
parking lot adjacent to Bastrop
Regional Medical Center.
