summer and is a popular park guide.
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. Said the State Parks
announcement, "Payne made Maryhill a bet-
ter place for visitors and staff alike."

nursery facilities, a gymnasium and administrative offices. Total cost is estimated at $2.2
million; the builder, Ryan Construction of Woodinville, plans to use local subcontractors.

Goldendale pool opens for summer
Goldendale's outdoor
swimming pool, the Little
Klickitat River Park Aquatic
Center located at N.E. 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.

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.
