School board
discusses lunch
costs, busing pay
By Ellen Feuerhelm
Reporter
Busing costs, the school lunch
program, and a teacher's resigna-
tion were among the topics of dis-
cussion at the Beach School
Board's regular meeting on July 7.
Approved was the resignation of
science teacherMiranda Ostrowski.
The board will be advertising open
positions later in July. In another
matter, noting that the school has
300 computers, the possibility of
adding a technical assistant to the
staff warranted discussion.
A program to help kindergarten
students and parents prepare for
school will be held 16 times with a
certified teacher. K-Connections is
a one-night-a-month parent
involvement program.
Board members voted and
approved a $20 increase in board
member pay. The Beach School
Board does not get paid by the
meeting but by the month. That
increase will result in $250 a month
for board members.
The school lunch program has
been running in the red, and the
board approved an increase of 25
cents for meals.

ers will also being getting a pay raise

received $70 for morning and

The school is also looking at
updating some of the shop equip-
ment and placing the older equip-
ment for sale. The board is looking
into purchasing a table saw with
safety features that would "stop on
a dime" and avoid injuries to stu-
dents. School Board members were
going to check into this item further
and also waited to approve the
budget until the next scheduled
board meeting at 7 p.m.,
Wednesday, Aug. 12, in room 11 at
the High School.

Beach's Centennial Celebration
and All School Reunion will undoubt-
edly be a time for reminiscing.
With that in mind, the Golden
Valley Manor will be one of the
venues for get-togethers of local
residents and visitors. The Manor
will be the site of a Hospitality
Room from 2-4 p.m. on July 31 and
Aug. 2. Memorabilia, plus work
completed by Manor artists, will be
on display. Root beer floats will be
served.
"We'll provide a cool place to
meet and visit," said Manor
Administrator Vicki Braden.
Those scheduled to be showing
their talents include Anna Lowman,
crocheting; Pearl Olstad, quilting
and porcelain painting; Fiddlin' Bill
Johnson, music albums; Gertrude
Jacobs, painting; and Orville Moe,
woodworking.
Likely to stir up memories are
laminated pages of local newspa-
pers that will be available for view-
ing. Among those is the Jubilee edi-
tion of the Golden Valley News
from 25 years ago. JoAnn Smith
provided the copy of the Jubilee
edition.
The family of the late Rex Miller
has provided a copy of an edition
related to a 1967 school reunion.

As Beach became an official
city in 1909, the economy seemed
to be focusing on real estate,
banking and the basic necessities.
Relatively new residents con-
tinued to file claims for home-
steads, as shown by legal notices
published in The Beach Advance,
which was the newspaper at that
time. Golden Valley State Bank
and The First National Bank were
advertising they had money to
loan. A company known as
Woodhull & Bond was offering

Farmers in October 1909, the
