The Atlantic Community School District’s Board of Education will hold a special meeting Tuesday evening, at the high school media center. During the 6:30-p.m. session, the Board will discuss the Atlantic Middle School Renovation and H-VAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) project, and associated costs.

Last month, the Board grudgingly approved a bid for the Middle School HVAC and Renovation Project that was nearly $750,000 over the 6.9-million dollar budget. At the time, Jerry Purdy, with Design Alliance Engineering, said the project came in over budget because of what’s termed “Project creep,” whereby items that were added to it during the design phase for one reason or another, some because of code, others for function or aesthetics, were not adjusted in the final budget.

While the board was not happy with the fact the project went over budget, they agreed that their options are limited, and timing was critical if the students were to receive a quality education with as minimal interruptions as possible

Pastor trying to secure hay for NM ranchers

September 5th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

CLOVIS, N.M. (AP) – With a surplus of hay in Iowa and a shortage in the southwest, a Clovis, New Mexico, pastor is working to bring hay to area farmers and ranchers in need. Pastor Bonita Knox with the Trinity Lutheran Church says they’re gauging the need. Knox says the issue of moving surplus hay to shortage areas came up when an Iowa farmer was seated next to a Texas rancher during a mid-August nationwide gathering of Lutherans in Florida. The conversation grew to a plan, now known as “Hay Lift.”

Knox says she jumped at the chance to include the Eastern Plains in the relief effort. Now Knox is putting out a call to the community to tell her how much hay is needed so that she can report back by Tuesday morning.
