Letter io the Editor
Wants Ice Rink
Jan. 22, 1962
Editor Cheeehako News
Mr. Loren Stewart
What is our School Board at
Sokiotna doing lo help the rela
tionship of pupil and parent to
gether with their principal? I was
invited to attend the parent-teach
ers meeting at the new and beau
tiful Soldotna school Monday eve
ning. I am- proud of this school,
delighted with the perrfeet care
and res-pect the faculty and pupils
have given it. 1 deem it almost
a miracle that any one small crew
of instructors can handle our chil
dren :-:o well. God bless them.
However, at this time 1 asked,
the group why oar community
has not been encouraged to use
the ice skating rink this season.
Ir. past years residents have al
ways had the advantage of using
a rink at the school grounds after
school hours; assuming the re
sponsibility of their children, and
respecting the property of our
slate to the extreme of not throw
ing guru wrappers or cigarette
butts on the grounds. Why is this
school different?
Ice skating is not a planned
program i:i any state: it is surely
a hit end miss guess -with the
weather. The weather - usually
winning.

irg about a place for my genera
tion to skate. Four weeks .ago an :
article was sent me from that '
town, still discussing the idea.
Sure, some of us can go home ■
nr.4 make our own skating area;
hut does this really help the ma
jority of our town?
1 like Soidotna. I’m proud to '
live here. Intend to welcome my 1
grandchildren here. However, not 1
to a town as backward as I left.
It is true there are plans for
a recreation area for Soidotna. 1
The town has grown fast, a n d
people are working on these
plans; nevertheless we are just
beginning. What is keeping us
from helping each other?
Even our President stresses
physical fitness. Does this mean
that government funds helping hi 1
purchase school equipment f o r
this purpose are to be used only
during . school hours; not fifteen
minutes before, or thirty minutes i
after? This is certainly a new I
idea to me, X for one would like 1
to see our School Board get to- *
gfcther arid see what can be done
immediately. ;

Eligibility for entering ski con

depend upon points won in the
Homer races, according to Mike
Ciever, acting chairman of the
carnival association.
Homer is host to one of the
three races in Alaska at which
points are given. The other two
are at Anchorage, but one of the
events has been cancelled making
the Homer races even more im
portant, Cleaver pointed out.
