Science boasts 'quality teachers' High quality teachers greatly enhanced the Scien- ce Department this year and teachers were working in the areas they enjoyed the most and for which they were the most qualified. This was made in a an accreditation report which was turned in to the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Astronomy, physiology of exercise, and physical scien- ce were all relatively new courses taught by Gilbert Burrows, Dave Mende, and Susan Heberle. Brand new this year was General Scien- 4.

According to Mr. Burrows, head of the Science Depar- tment, the next big invest- ment the Science Depar- tment plans to make are Ap- ple micro-computers.

40 Growth in the Lodl-Stock- ton area reached fantastic heights as residents battled urban expansion, hyaclnths in the delta, and over- crowded schools during 1981-82. Even before Green Belt, a growth-limiting measure, was swept into law last August, future growth ln Lodi had been a blg Issue. Green Belt opponents dumped 562,192 into an unsuccessful campaign to defeat the measure, but the lnltlatlve was voted lnto law by a 60-40 margin. Lodl faced a major an- nexation--and a lawsuit threat--less than two months later 210 acres adjacent to the southwest corner of Lodi would be added lf the con- troversial Woock Annexation was passed. hold an election to decide the issue, the Lodl City Council decided to first request the approval of the Local Agency Formation Commission ILAFCOQ. In October, the commission denled the an- nexation and recommended rezoning. A second request to LAFCO was made, but ln This was the beglnnlng ofa 'ffrlendly lawsuit. Green Belt opponents approved of the proposed annexation, and now they questioned the con- stltutlonallty of the growth- llmlttng measure. Green Belt supporters, on the other hand, strongly opposed the Woock Annexation. An at- tomey representing the Rural Land Owners' Association was hired ln December. In February, the lawsuit was still lumbering slowly in- to court, despite the time lapse. But by mid-March, tly worse. About 130 river businessmen appealed for protection at a public hearing held last November. Navlgatlon and business were impossible, they said, with the blocked boats and fouled equipment that the hyaclnths had caused. Immediate action was finally taken ln January, when Assemblyman Pat Johnston and Senator John Garamendl worked for fun- ding through leglslatlon.
