But the deluge had barely pegun. And before it WaS fin- iShed, it would Wreak havoc in the L0di!StOCktOn area, ruin- ing crops, breaking Delta lev- ees, and affecting StOCKtOn'S already nigh UnemplOYment rate. NleanWnlle, peOple talk- ed of outward expansion and of attempts to reVitaIiZe troubled dOWntOWn StOCktOn areas. ironically, mid-July SaW the distribution of Water conser- vation kitS bv the Stockton Area Water SUpplierS lSAWSl. The group deSignated the Week Of July 12 as Water Con- servation AWareneSS Week. Litte did SAWS knOW that the area would soon be aware Of water. Much of the SOggV trouble began in August, when tne levee SUrrOUndlng the MC- DOnald tract, 12 miles west of StOCktOn, burSt and allowed the man-made lSland to be fIOOded. The extent of the damage WaS sufficient to necessitate federal financial aid for re- pairs. FOllOWing the MCDOrlaId IS- land flooding were the win- ter-tlme inundations of ven- ice lSland, Herman and Helen'S Marina on Empire lSland, and PrOSpeCt lSland. And in March, Deuel VOCa- tional InStituti0n near Tracv found itself swimming for land. BeSideS broken levees, Wa- ter also caused Other prob- lemS. Rain, often nearly dOLl- bling normal levels, put a damper on fall narVeStS. Suf- fering most were grape and tomato crops, as well as cher- rleS, walnuts, almOndS, aspar- agus, and corn. Also, because of the wea- ther, hundreds of farrn labor- erS and cannerv WOrKerS faced the threat of IOSt ern- ployment. I And unemployment was a key problem lOCaIIy. In fact, stockton's jobless rate of 18. 6 percent ranked 10th higheSt nationally among major met- ropolitan areas. Even more depressing was stockton's other ranking. Only one other City in the United States had a higher per capita of residents on welfare. The department of public welfare accounted for a staggering 51 percent of San Joaquin Coun- ty'S entire budget. Financial problems made it necessary for StOCktOn to make cuts which left 85 city positions vacant. Tnelr reduc- tions also left tne police de- partment operating at almost '16 percent below its budg- eted level. LaVOffS were necessary in the StOCktOn and L0di Unified SCnOOl Districts dUe to money troubles. But while SUSD IOSt only 'IO teachers and counse- lors, LUSD faced pOSSlply los- W 'Bifwmx-ww
