He is a great teacher and a great disciplinarian. We are losing one hell of a great man when we ;are letting him go.” Brown was disappointed by the decision. “When the 17-mill budget was ‘passed June 29, I had hopes that I would have my position.

(Post Photo/C.M. Denmon) Grand opening of J&J Deli dining area set for Saturday By CHARLOT M. DENMON Staff Writer J & J Deli, Memorial Highway, _ Dallas, will hold the grand opening of its new dining area this Satur- day, July 13. The Deli, which opened in April 1985, has expanded over the past seven years under the ownership of Jim and Jan Wertman and their son, John. Their oldest son Jim and their daughter Janine also have contributed to the success of the business. The small menu in 1985 has now been increased to list more than 60 different hoagies and sandwiches. Soups and salads have become popular items with customers. Daily specials have become a favorite of customers throughout the area and often sell out. All soups and salads are home- made on the premises. Before Wertman's opened their business they had tried to purchase salads ‘that tasted homemade but could not find them. Now they make hundreds of pounds of salads for customers and it's non-stop when holidays are near. It's best to order in advance to be assured you will be able to purchase what you need. With the addition of the new dining area the menu has been expanded to include lunch and dinner specials, which can be eaten on the premises. New items on the menu include John's Buffalo Wings, hamburg- ers, cheeseburgers, rib-eye steaks and many others. John’s Buffalo Wings have become popular with customers. His homemade sauce is delicious and there is a choice of mild, hot or afterburner. ~ Dinner specials include Pastie Dinners, Chicken Cordon Bleu, Chicken Kiev, Chicken with Broc- coli and Cheese, Chicken Finger Platter, Shrimp-in-the-Basket and Hot Roast Beef Sandwich among others. Free cake and hot dogs, cas- settes and T-shirts will be given away at the grand opening and with each purchase a chance will be given on the drawing for a six- foot hoagie for your next party. Catering also is a large part of J & J Deli's business with a full buffet menu includng hors d'oeuvres.

It is also getting more difficult to get rid of both trash and recyclables. I know because I tried it before and I couldn't get rid of the stuff. Now we have co-mingled recycling, we put it in one bin and the company sorts it,” Wagner said. “I feel sorry for the few private haulers but it's just like school taxes and the cable. If it's man- dated you live with it. Nothing is free anymore in life. Danella would be happy to have some of these private haulers work for him. He could use people who know the routes. They could sell their equip- ment and go to work for him,” Wagner concluded. Fred Searle, who along with C&K Sanitation and Dave's Hauling, has continued to serve customers in the area, says he should be allowed to do so. “Iwent along with C&K to hire an attorney and our attorney says he knows of cases in other places that private haulers are allowed to pick up the trash,” said Fred Searle of Searle Sanitation. Jones defended Danella’s per- formance thus far. “The company is spending a lot of money setting up the program. The people will begin to see the benefits.

He also said a meeting held last week did not violate any Sunshine Law, that it was merely a meeting for the community representatives to dis- cuss the legal aspect with their attorney. “There were no decisions, no votes, just a discussion of clients with their attorney which is done every day.” Jones also said there will be no taking pictures to use in court. “The few that were taken were by one or two officers who became enthusiastic too soon,” he said. “Once the kinks are ironed out and the hauler knows all of the stops, things will run smoothly,” said DAMA plant manager Tom Bagley. “It’s like everything else in our modern society; change is diffi- cult to adjust to, it takes time but for the most part reisdents are beginning to understand that it will save them money in the end. Once everything falls into place, we can begin to look at some exceptions that need to be made,” Bagley said. nicipal recycling alone for the three municipalities it was learned that the lowest cost for such a program would be at least $7.88 per month which when added to monthly costs by the independent haulers in the Back Mountain would increase the cost of the two pickups to a range from $18 to $30 monthly or $216 to $360 per year. The committee continued to research plausible programs and finally learned that other areas which have had municipal trash and recyclable collection for as long as a year found the least expensive method was to have one municipal hauler collect all items. After much consideration and study, that was the decision made by DAMA and accepted by the municipalities, who passed an ordinance mandating the program. The program was advertised for bid making it available to all haul- ers, with a request that all bids be returned prior to April 19. Five of seven of the haulers submitted bids, with Danella Environmental Associates price being the lowest. Atty. Jones found the bids in order and the contract was awarded to Danella. | [ | Of Yo ' jeter rl a a rr ed Fil War When we lie down to sleep, the pressure from our weight can cut off the flow of blood in the tissue under the heaviest parts of our body. This is called capillary occlusion. Normally this isnot bad, although for bed ridden people this pressure can severely damage any tissue deprived of blood flow for too long. A healthy person will respond to this pressure every hour or two when the tissue sends a message to the brain that it needs relief. The brain, in turn, tells us to roll over to safely put the pressure elsewhere for a while.
