He promised to stop tome time and "let you know how I'm doing". We hope he does. A half hour later we left in our car and the young man departed in the other direction. We realized that Just two hours later the park would be filled with the sound of a fine band playing for the enjoyment of a big crowd of music lovers. In the setting of the park, with ideal temperatures and a bright moon above, it was easy to sit back and enjoy the beautiful sounds of the band and soloist. But it set us wondering.

Any Boy Scout aspiring toward an Eagle Scout must complete a public service project which im­ proves on a community in some way. The park area on Fox Lake road had never been completed. John contacted Dan Felix, the park commissioner of Pistakee Highlands, and presented him with a plan for improving the park. Included was clearing away the brush, leveling the piles of gravel that had been put there and covering it wi|| top soil. Felix approved the plan. Then John presented it to the Eagle Board of Review kcA > In order to show tne leadership quality expected of an Eagle Scout, the aspirant asks for and schedules assistance from other Scouts. Among those helping John were Kyle Huff, Erik Pratt. Darin Peterson. Matt Hennigan, Jeremy Carlson, Willy Hazen, John Morrison, Tom Lorentz, Tony Foster, Paul Dunkman, Jim Wesseling, Mike Douglass, Brian Deeke and Joe Lattuca. John now has to submit his com­ pleted project, with pictures, and his application to the Board of Review.

Gough reported that studies show schools using this program have in­ dicated positive improvements • in school discipline which allows more uninterrupted teaching and learning time. A tenured teacher's leave for child rearing policy was adopted by the Johnsburg School board meeting Jime 22. In part the policy states: Tenured teechers who are pregnant and wish to apply for child rearing leave without pay shall make written ap­ plication for the leave with the superintendent along with their normal maternity leave request. At the time of the normal maternity leave request, the teacher will in­ dicate whether die expects to return to school as per the normal maternity leave policy - or - whether he-she will be requesting a child rearing leave. When hiring a substitute for the teacher, the administration will then be aware of the intent of the teacher. If the husband desires the leave, the request shall occur under the same time parameters. This leave can also apply to an adopted child. The Parent Teacher's organization was granted permission to continue the fund raiser program, Santa's Secret Shop, for another year. The project will include Bush school, Middle school and for the first time, the Junior high school, will be in­ cluded. Dates set for the project are Dec. 14 and 15.
