On October 10 the Montrose School Board meeting returned to the Junior Senior High School. Various matters of business were dealt with throughout the evening.

A letter of thanks was sent by the Endless Mountains Cruisers, acknowledging the district for their continued assistance with the annual car show. The letter related a series of charities and beneficial uses of the funds which the school's sponsorship helped.

“I’m retiring…” So said Supervisor and Roadmaster Terry VanGorden, in a public announcement at the Harford Supervisors’ meeting on October 11. “…Again,” he added, referring to his earlier retirement from Procter & Gamble. He will yield his seat after the election next month to Doug Phelps, who won the Republican primary election over the incumbent and will be running unopposed. Mr. VanGorden also will not seek to be reappointed Roadmaster, which leaves an opening in the Harford workforce.

“[We] need to advertise for an employee,” said Mr. VanGorden. The Supervisors hope to interview candidates, make a choice, and have someone in place well before the end of the year. Mr. Phelps, who has been attending the meetings for the past several months, asked to be invited to the interviews; he will not be allowed to vote on a hire, however, until he is sworn in in January. They will be looking for someone with a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) to take a full-time, “working” position, with benefits. This will not necessarily be the Roadmaster job.
