Payne, who received a Lifetime Achievement award, became a campground host along with her husband, Cliff, at Maryhill State Park in 1987. The couple spent six months hosting at the park until 1992 when Cliff passed away. Carol was prepared to leave the park, but agreed to stay for one year as a voluntee~ and ended up staying until 2003, logging nearly 9,000 hours of service. Through the years, Payne has helped thou- sands of visitors and helped organize many special occasions.

Third Ave. and King St., is set to open this weekend. That's according to Dennis Goodrich of the Central Klickitat County Park and Recreation District, which operates the pool. Goodrich said they'd thought about opening in time for Memorial Day, but decided to wait until every- body was back in town. Admission will be the same as last year: $2 per ses- sion for children and seniors, $2.50 for adults and $5 for families. Ammal passes are also available. Adult swims will be from 6-8 a.m., noon-1 p.m., and 5-7 p.m.; otherwise, the pool will be available to anybody for open swims between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. Mon-Fri (noon-9 p.m. on weekends). The pool is 43.5 feet by 75 feet, and 5.5 deep at the deep end. "It's not a diving pool," said the recreation districrs Ray LaFond, one of the townspeople who worked to get the pool built. "But it is nearly Olympic-sized. And it has a water slide!" The Aquatic Center does not have lockers but uses a tag and bag system, has a wading pool for young chil- dren, and men's/boys', women's/girls', and fami- ly/handicapped changing areas. The Goldendale area had no pool until last year, when construction was completed after years of work. Eventually, the district plans to cover the pool. The Aquatic Center's phone number is 773-o5o6. -- Sam Lowry LS from page 1 Deborah Heart. interviewed and two other super- finalists on 24, when each to tour the dis- meet with the 3' staffs. choice unanimous. excited to get a er quality," said Carl Conroy. small and she's in every posi- tion she's had." "She's a real win0er," added board member Larry Hurst. Heart attributed the speed of the successful search to the board's hiring of Northwest Leadership Associates (NLA) of Pendleton. NLA is one of several recruiting organiza- tions that help small school districts in the Northwest find administrators. Time was of the essence, the board decided. "We fast-tracked it because we knew there were a lot of openings. If we took our time, we figured We wouldn't get the quality," Heart said. She described the process: "George Murdock [of NLA] brought lO packets. We picked out four of interest, and he came up with five or six more names." The board wanted to be absolutely sure of compatibil- ity. "We don't want to have to buy out a contract if there is a bad fit. That costs a lot of money," Heart said. Each board member called people in the candidates' eommuni- ties, and checked credentials. Only the three finalists were invited for interview. "All three would have been good," Heart said, but the five school board members (David Telford is the fifth) readily agreed that Phillips was the top choice. "For her knowl- edge of curriculum, technolo- gy, and for being an effective team player in past districts," Heart said. A key was Phillips' work in small towns. After four years as superintendent in Concrete, Wash., and before that, stints as principal and superintendent at La Crosse in Whitman County and prin- cipal at Kettle Falls, Phillips took the last year off, living in Anacortes to work on writing a book. Born and raised in Libby, Mont. (pop. 5ooo), Phillips wrote about three people who grew in the troubled mining town. Her emphasis: How people make a difference. "The book is about any little town anywhere. People are successful in every town," said the author. Phillips has a a BA in English, an MA in Educational Leadership, and a PhD from Gonzaga in the same field. She will visit the district this week, and begins work in July, the board said. One of her first responsibil- ities will be to help find Bosarge's replacement, work- ing with an administrative team and the board, accord- ing to Heart. "The search has been opened both internally and externally," said departing superintendent Grabenhorst.
