The new class, consisting of 14 students, will be under the instruction of Mr. Kermit Norris. Mr. Gayne Deshler is in charge of a junior high class. Mr. Norris spoke to the board, expressing both his and Mr. Deshler’s thoughts on the change. Mr. Norris told the board that he and Mr. Deshler were dis- appointed in the decision to separate the classes. He described the split as ‘“‘a regression to 1970.” He told the board that both he and Deshler ‘‘feel insulted that we were not consulted in this decision.”’ Norris said that with twenty combined years of special education teaching in the Donegal district, he felt that the teachers should have been involved. “This item upsets me,”’ he told the board. ‘‘The last minute nature is up- Mount Joy JCs to register voters Mount Joy Jaycees will be out in the community on Saturday, September 27, conducting a voter registra- tion drive. The Jaycees hope to add 100 new registered voters to the rolls by the Ocotober 6th deadline. Their efforts will be concen- trated in newer develop- ments withing the commun- ity. The Jaycees say they wish to remind citizens of Mount Joy that voting is a right as well as a responsibility. Mail-in registration forms (no postage needed) are available in most municipal buildings, the Mount Joy library, the Lancaster County Board of Elections Offices, from local party officials or from local Jaycees. In the last presidential election, only 36% of all possible voters went to the polls. Last call for free paint If you still plan to paint your house this fall, don’t wait too long. September 30 is the last day that you can apply for free paint from the Lancaster County Redevel- opment Authority. Applications for paint received after September 30 will be considered next spring. Operation Paintbrush pro- vides free exterior house- paint to homeowners who live in Marietta, Bainbridge, and parts of Elizabethtown, Mount Joy and Columbia. If you own your home and live in one of these Neighborhood Strategy Areas, you qualify for free paint and painting mater- ials. This program is spon- sored by the County Com- missioners and funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program. Response to the program has been greater than expected; over 200 county homeowners have received paint since the program opened in July. For further information about this program, contact Mr. Clayton Martin at the Redevelopment Authority, 394-0793. setting.”’ The board, at last month’s meeting, instructed the administration to explore all alternative possiblities for the education of children with learning disabilities, and to act as the administra- tion saw fit. This action was prompted by the presence of many parents of learning dis- ability (LD) students. The parents did not want the EMR and LD class com- bined. Norris felt that the needs of both EMR and LD students could have been met without the changes made. He also told the board that he and Mr. Deshler [continued on page 6] Donegal football team struggles for 7-7 tie The Indians had 14 first downs, Solanco had 6. The Indians had twice their opponents’ running yardage and a vastly superior passing game. Sounds as if the Indians won, doesn’t it? But in fact, they barely managed to struggle to a 7-7 tie against the Golden Mules last Saturday evening. Donegal’s problem was penalties—10S yards of penalties, all committed by the Indian offense. Penalties canceled two Indian touch- downs and plenty of less dramatic potential offensive gains. Defensively, the team was back in fighting trim. Solanco managed only one good run; a 75 yard dash that gave the Mules a 7-0 halftime lead. But that was Donegal’s only serious defensive mis- take. Jeff Duke led the defense with 6 tackles, 9 assists, and 1 fumble recovery. Darren Kolp made 7 tackles and helped out with 6 others. Ron Kennedy intercepted a pass. Penalties aside, the of- fense had a good night, too. Ron Kennedy led the team with 76 yards on 11 carries. Rick Funk rushed S7 yards on 10 carries. Steve Bow- man carried 11 times for 28 yards and Darrel Risberg tallied 39 yards on 11 carries (he would have had over 100 yards, if penalties hadn’t canceled some of his best efforts). Another Indian problem was fumbles—their first two fumbles of the year. But all things considered, it was an encouraging performance for Donegal fans, a demon- stration of the team’s solid potential. Next week, the section season begins at Elco. The Raiders will be expecting as easy victory. They are unbeaten, are [continued on page 2] This week’s calendar Thursday, September 25, at 7 pm at the Marietta Community House, the first meeting for Chiques A.A. A. Volleyball.
