Schwab figures even the fellow from skid row would pay at least $1,000 a year in taxes if he were able to return to work. On the other hand, he figures if a 35-year-old alcoholic is not treated, he may well be on the public roles as a welfare recipient for the next thirty years Schwab believes in rehabilitation This isn't meant to take the jolly out of Christ­ mas It's only a reminder that while the country is being swept up in the excesses they hope Proposition 13 will cure, it might be a good idea to look at another problem -alcoholism- which is also an excess often fed by the spirit of the holiday season x KAF JOHNSBURG HIGH DEDICATION JAN. 7 (Continued from page 1) sign be placed at the Ringwood school The board approved The planning and work of the faculty members involved in order to meet the standards of approval upheld by the board was evident in the presentation of the following proposals: John Senkerick with a follow up of last year's successful three-day trip by plane to Washington DC.

With plans for three more productions that include dinner-play com­ binations, some consideration has to be given to reasonable price to charge per ticket. Mike DeWolfe reported on SEDOM's plans for summer school The concern is to offer to those students who need it but the details of numbers, transportation and costs are still under consideration. The board agreed to contribute to the program at an average cost rate per student in the county. Due to an initial disturbance at two of the Johnsburg schools. Dr Duane Andreas, superin tendent, presented the board with a bomb scare policy for approval Contacts with other schools indicates that this is a common problem that is receiving intensified attention from administrators, police, and fire departments With the degree of danger inflicted on ail school personnel it is no longer considered a prank' but a crime Mike Cajthaml's offer to paint a logo in the high school gym was cordially accepted by the board Since the end of the fall sports season, the activity bus leaving the high school about 5:30 p.m is not being used nearly to capacity Discussion showed that there is a need for it at Junior high at that time or else it can be scheduled at a more appropriate time at the high school Some concern was shown about whether parents are even aware of the activity bu$ Students are prone to call home for transportation rather than be delayed by the bus schedule The Johnsburg board-staff dinner meeting is planned for 6 30 Dec 2 the Johnsburg T e a c h e r s o r g a n i z a t i o n r e q u e s t e d a m e e t i n g d a t e Tuesday.

NO AGREEMENT ON PROPOSED CITY UNIT (Continued from page 1) suggested tlfat the city might allow some adjustment on the $511,000 cash donation which RDG offered over the life of the agreement for credit for usable parts of the open space offered to the city He conceded that all of the 50 acres would not be usable. Pepping questioned if Berg was going to negotiate with the city for buildable or simply usable open land and wondered how much of the 50 acres was in the flood plain which would automatically render it unusable. Berg noted that Unit one which they will deal with first, will involve no open space, but the considerations are for the whole area. The first preliminary plat will- be for Unit one only. Ron Meuer asked who would determine what is usable. Berg said it would be by agreement with the city. Toole asked about the proposed road connection with the west side shown in the drawing of the development as crossing the creek and con­ necting with Dartmoor in Fox Ridge Since it will be a major collector, he questioned how close would it come to a school depicted on the west bank of Boone. Berg said the road was designed to be a major collector and it was routed by the school to carry the school bus traffic directly to it. Speed would be kept down by the curvilinear design and various stop signs along its length The commission asked Ber.g to describe the present limitations of the city sewer system Berg noted that the original 17,000 population equivalent capacity of the present system had been downgraded to 13,000 under new standards by the EPA. He said the plant would have to be increased to accommodate the entire development, but there was room for expansion on the present disposal plant site He said this expansion would provide for 10,000 more population equivalents. Later expansions could be provided at another plant. The commission, following discussion of the proposal, expressed . by three motions, questions or requirements in connection with the project: that the city require donations of cash in full in addition to any land offered; that zoning on the west side of Boone be restricted to single family; and the school proposed for location on the bank of Boone be relocated elsewhere or some safeguards be provided to keep young children safe from the possible high water. When the vote on recom­ mending the PUD for ac­ ceptance was taken, four of the seven commissioners indicated approval, while three, Sandy Eckstein, Joan Schwegel and George Cole abstained. When Chairman Pepping asked what was keeping the abstainers from voting, (in past votes were needed to be recommended either for ap­ proval or denial), he learned that they wanted more in­ formation on several items. Ms Eckstein was not sure that the flooding problem had been properly addressed, remem­ bered soil problems references in earlier hearings and wanted some solutions to the traffic problems if possible. Ms. Sch­ wegel noted that a school site was being indicated, but until a referendum was passed (doubtful she thought) where were they going to put the kids resulting from this develop­ ment? Cole said he had heard a number of objections and would like to "feel his way around" and to look at the development again. Pepping reminded the commission of the 30-day limit and said they needed a recommendation by Dec 14 Berg added that the only poor soil found by test borings was in the creek area and in the 8-acre area near Curran road Toole raised a question whether the city wants to ac­ cept the Boone creek open space and it was indicated that this would be decided when the annexation agreement is ac­ tually drawn up The commision set Dec 5 for the next meeting If you make mistakes every day don't feel dis­ couraged; there is no one who doesn't.
