NEW NEWS
Tyler Allan Rhodes
2007 Mountain View graduate Killed in Afghanistan
The grandparents of Tyler Allen Rhodes, a 2007 graduate of Mountainview
High School in Burney received the dreaded visit from the Chaplain and
local Commanding Officer at approximately 6:30 a.m. Saturday, notifying
them that Tyler, a Lance Corporal in the 3rd brigade of the Sixth
Marine Division in Afghanistan had been shot and killed while standing
post the day before.
The family plans to travel to Washington DC to be there when Tyler's
casket arrives, tomorrow. Beyond that they are still in shock and
haven't had time to make arrangements.
Fall River Joint Unified School District Superintendant and Principal
of Mountainview High School remembers Rhodes as "a fine - great young
man."
Ron Mason, who heads the Intermountain Marines was visibly shaken by
the news. He said the local Marine Corps League members had not sent
him a care package as they normally do because Tyler was the last area
Marine still in a combat zone and he was scheduled to return to the
states August 15.
Mason says the local Marines will do something to honor Rhodes, but
until the family knows what has happened and has time to make plans
there is very little they can do.

Purpose of bond
clarified
FALL RIVER MILLS —
Mayers Memorial Hospital’s Director of Finance, Travis Lakey, clarified
the intent of the proposed bond measure last week.
According
to Lakey, paying off the existing bond, the one guaranteed by Cal
Mortgage which has currently placed the district in a state of
non-compliance with that agency is being considered, until the “Initial
Survey” is done, which if favorable, will make it feasible for the
district to have attorneys study that possibility, the attorneys, he
says, have only indicated they thought it would be legal, but won’t
know until they study it further.
