10 years ago 1998 This week in history from The Arlington Times archives Aug 28 2008, 5:00 PM n Location, location, location. That seems to be the issue facing Arlington School District voters next Tuesday. Do we keep the high school in town or build a new school out of town? The Arlington School Board believes the best solution is to take the school out of town. the board is asking voters on May 19 to approve a plan to sell $37.9 million in bonds to pay for the construction of a new 1,600-student high school 1.5 miles northeast of town on SR 530. This is the third time in the last two years a similar proposal has been placed on the ballot. It differs from previous proposals because only the high school project is addressed. Two previous bond proposals in February and September of last year ?included a high school out of town as well as remodeling and renovating Presidents Elementary and the current high school site for use as another school facility. Although the high school stands alone this time, the board stresses this proposal is the first step, construction-wise, to solving a population boom at all grade levels. Another bond proposal to pay for remodeling, renovating and/or building new facilities for the lower grade levels is expected in the next year, once board members agree on grade configuration at the other schools.
Before putting the bond proposal on the ballot this time, the board affirmed a decision to keep grades 9-12 at the high school. That decision followed the grade configuration committee recommendation to retain the 9-12 grade high school, consider two middle schools with grades 6-8, change elementary to grades 1-5 and put preschool and kindergarten together in one location. The 9-12 recommendation was the only one easily agreed upon by the board. Seeing the bond proposal for an out-of-town high school put on the ballot for the third time, however, is not sitting well with a group of district voters actively opposing the board's plan. Alternative Bond Citizens, now 25 members strong, organized last year and developed an alternative plan to the one presented by the school board. Among other things, ABC's proposal pushed to change the high school grade configuration to 10-12 and keep the high school in town at the current site.

Lakewood athletes were named conference champs in eight events when Cedarcrest hosted the Cascade Conference track and field championships May 7 and 9.Junior sprinter Devon Smith followed prelim victories in the 200- and 400-meter dashes with championships in the May 9 finals. Smith also closed what was roughly a 50-meter gap as the anchor of Lakewood's winning 4x400 relay, as the Cougars overtook King's in the final stretch. With a 48-second leg, Smith helped the relay team break school and conference records.
Smith's relay teammate, senior Terrence Ordonez also had a career day as he broke meet and stadium records in the boys 800 finals to beat Coupeville standout Kyle King and South Whidbey's Scott Stallman. Ordonez cut more than seven seconds off his time two days earlier to finish in 1:58.20, trailed just tenths of a second by King and Stallman. With the event victory, Ordonez helped hold off a three-event championship by King, who won the mile and two mile.
