ased for use in the science curri-
culum under a program known as
“Windows on Science”.
Using a three-way interaction
between the student, teacher and
the audio-visual material, called a
Trilog. the Windows on Science
program uses videodisc technolo-
gy developed by Optical Data.
Curriculum Director Albert
Abel said the program has been
successful at the schools, and he
mentioned two visual programs
which caught his attention.
One, said Abel, showed the de-
velopment of a tornado, and the

“Vandalism”: willful or mali-

ment of public or private prop-
erty. “Parks”: a pieeeof ground

words should not go together,

Live Oak Park, a place of
much hope and planning by
community members who see
it as having potential to be de-
veloped into an ideal local re-
creational spot, has been the
target of malicious destruction
of public property.
Efforts to build a facility to
house irrigation control de-
vices and storage for future
soccer league equipment were
reduced to zero recently as the
skeleton of the facility was
leveled by varidals.
“We started to build it and
had the framework up,” said
Public Works Director George
Kneup<?r. “They came in and
rammed it, and pulled it down
with ropes. They tore it down
to the slab. When they finished
we were not just back to square
one, but worse than square
one.”
The damage to the building
was estimated as costing the
city over <1,000 to repair
On two other occasions, the
maintenance building was hit
by vandals although the extent
of damage was less
Police officers are aware of
the problem of vandalism at
the park and efforts are made
to curtail it.
“Twoor three times a month
the department responds to
vandalism calls at the park,"
said Police Chief Randy
Crider.

the recipient this week of <5,000
given to the schools by Du Pont as
a part of the corporation’s
“Teaching Through Technology”
program.
The funds will go towards sup-
porting science education in the
elementary grades one through
six.
Du Pont Plant Manager Earl
Ringleb said the support of the
science programs at the school is
a part of Du Pont’s efforts to
address key global issues.
“Du Pont believes two of the
’ key global issues are the need to
upgrade the quality of public
education and to increase public
understanding of environmental
issues,” said Ringleb.
Funding for the gift to Ingleside
schools is from a Du Pont Com-
budget for an incorporated city,
which would be called Ingleside-
by-the-Bay
“The community has re-
sources to meet the expenses we
expect to bear,” said Nye
Nye’s financial figures, which
he said were very preliminary,
showed an incorporated Ing-
leside-by-the-Bay could take in
revenues of <123,418 against ex-
pected expenses of <80,300 in its
first year of existence.
“We are adamant about incor-
poration,” said Nye. “We are very
upbeat about forming our own
community.”
The budget presented by Nye
drew questions from the council.
With the most often asked one
being if any provision for paying
for a sewer system was included
in his figures.
Nye said more time was needed
by his organization to come up
with sewer system costs and that

second phase of the base’s Public

“Finally after spending much of
1991 in thedoldrums. It looks like
in 1992 things will really pick up
at Homeport,” said Brad Arvin.

Coordinator.
“This is going to mean several
hundred jobs being created over
the coming months.”
Sharing the elation over the
Navy’s announcement was Ing-

A third and final reading of the
ordinance allowing annexation of
Ingleside-on-the-Bay will be held
next Tuesday.
Prior to this week’s council
meeting, there remained a doubt
over the third reading as By-the-
Bay Citizen’s Association mem-
bers had requested a delay
The object of the delay was to
allow bayside residents to study
incorporation of the area into its
own city.
That delay request was turned
down Tuesday night by a 5-2 vote
of the council, with Council Mem-
bers Jane Ward and Chuck Ritti-
man easting votes in favor of
granting the association’s re-
quest
Before the vote was taken, By-
the-Bay Citizen’s Association
