JOHN and JERIK GRIMLAND
Grim land appointed
junior high principal
John Grim land, who has
coached for the past three years at
Dublin Junior High, has been ap-
pointed the new principal there.
Grimland said he does not feel the
transition from coach to principal
will be that difficult, however he
said, “I do worry about losing the
student-teacher contact — or just
losing touch with the students.”
Grimland said he decided to
take the principal post so that he
might be able “to settle down with
something more permanent than
coaching.” Grimland and his wife
Joyce, who teaches first grade,
have a three year old son, Jerik.
Grimland has an Associate of Arts
degree from Weatherford College,
an All-Level Music Education de-
gree from the University of Texas
at Arlington, a Masters degree in
History from Sul Ross State
University, and next summer will
complete his Mid-management
Certification.
Grimland said his main goals
for Dublin Junior High and its’
students are to promote school
pride and improve in standardized
testing scores and academic skills.
“I want to instill in the students a
pride for their school, not only the
physical school grounds,” said
Grimland, “I want to heighten
their respect for academic skills as
well.”
A pageant preparation and
modeling seminar will be held
Sunday, July 29, 1990, form 1:00

When President George Bush
signed the public law on May 25,
1990 allowing for $40 million to
oe allocated for repairs to flood-
Jamaged facilities at the Corps
lakes, it was only the first in many
steps that will be needed to repair
these facilities. Lake Proctor,
located 16 miles South of Dublin,
was among the sixteen lakes
damaged in the spring floods.
Lake Proctor was alloted
$1,275,000 of the allocated funds
for its’ repairs.
According to Mike McBride, of
the Army Corps of Engineers at
Lake Proctor, the alloted funds
should be sufficient. The flood
waters raised the water surface
level of the lake 35.62 feet over its
normal elevation of 1162.0, cur-
rently the water surface is at
1167.85, which is within normal
operating level, said McBride.
“Since May 7th or 8th, the flood
gates have been open carrying
water at 2,000 cubic feel per sec-
ond continually until last week
when just the two low flow gates
were left open,” said McBride.
“Repairs are just now beginning
to get underway,” said McBride,
“we now have a contractor clean-
ing up debris.” Repairs will in-
clude restroom facilities, picnic
tables, landscaping and dirt work,
group shelters, roads and
shoulders, boat docks, and pos-
sible shore line erosion, said
McBride. “We’re still waiting for
six feet of flood water to go down
— there may be damage not yet

discovered,” said McBride.
At present Sowell Creek Park,
High Point Park, and Copperas
Creek Park have some areas open
for camping and some group shel-
ters can be rented, said McBride.
At the present fishine from the
shoreline and swimming are al-
lowed, however said McBride, “no
boats are allowed on the water un-
til the boat ramps have completely
surfaced and can be examined for
damage.” McBride estimates that
the major construction projects
will continue into the winter
months and possibly into the next
year.
