[North San Juan News By'Idabel Covert There is something about softly falling snow and tre singing of Christmas carols on Christmas Eve around'the fireplace, the lighted.tree in the background and your dearly beloved family all together (most of them) that makes up for any lack of felicity during the previous year. The rare’ white Christmas that descended upon us was greeted with whoops of joy by the young, and some of us older ones, but the power outage that accompanied it certainly interrupted preparations for the big dinner in some homes, Those of us who cook with gas enjoyed an early din‘ner. Many thanks are due those unsung heroes of the PG&E who left their own holiday festivities to get the power on again. * Ok OK You must be sure to usher in the New Year at the Ridge Rider's annual New Year's Ball, to be held at the Fire Hall New Year's Eve at 9:00 p.m. Mickey, Frank and Gene will provide the. music, and refreshments will be available. * * * There is so much innuendo, distortion of fact, and out and out misinformation being purveyed lately in the pages of a certain publication from a neighboring county that one wonders just what the purpose of it all could be. Surely not to garner free publicity to further the efforts of the writer of this stuff to challenge our U. S, Congressman in the June primaries, Surely not. Whatever his reasons, while I hate to contribute to the publicity, I welcome the chance ~ to set the record straight concerning the new San Juan Ridge Union School. This purveyor of non-fact, who shall remain nameless, is perturbed because’ the new school building will contain only the square footage necessary for the present pupil enrollment in the combined North San Juan and Cherokee schools, If he had attended any of the school boardmeetings, as he should have if he is really as public-spirited as he would have us believe, he would have found out that these old buildings are being replaced under the Field Act, which deals with earthquake safety, with the aid of a state loan, since our bonding capacity is not large enough by itself to do the job. This loan, under state law, may be used only to replace or to bring up to standard, existing facilities, Since the schools have been condemned as un-repairable, a new building must be erected, but only as large in respect to ’ enrollment, as the old ones were. Sierra evening class listings are available ‘Sierra College evening class schedules and > applications for the spring semester are now available in the Extended Day Office. Applications and schedules may» be picked up at the office or secured by calling: the Extended Day Office between 1 and 5 p.m. and 6 and 10° p.m, requesting the material be mailed. Counseling will be available by phoning Ruth Bond between 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. only, at Nevada Union High School for an appointment. Students may register by mail prior to Jan, 12, and packets should be returned to the Extended Day Office. Evening Students who enroll at Nevada Union High School may register there, in person, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m, Jan 19; Jan 20; Jan, 24; Jan.’ 25; or at the first meeting of the class, Jan 31 to Feb, 3. Spring semester registration for day students will be held on the Sierra College campus beginning Jan, 24, and concluding Jan. 28, Pegistration is by appointment only with priority given to continuing students. Mail applications should be addressed to the Admissions Office, Sierra College, 5000 Rock-~ lin Rd., Rocklin, CA 95677, Instruction for both day and evening students will begin during the week Jan, 31 to Feb. 4. However, the school board and the architect have made sure there is ample room on the _ property for another building of approximately the same size, . if at some time in the future this becomes necessary. I must réfute one more state‘ment. .The plans for the new building are not in, as of this writing. _ The: architect may have some preliminary sketches ready: by. Jan. 7... To’ date a tentative plot plan has Licepeas pared, and is displayed on the bulletin boards of ‘both schools for the viewing of interested persons. Since . all registered voters have received sample ballots for the bond election, and hopefully their interest is aroused, the board of trustees is sponsoring an Informational Meeting at the Fire Hall Jan. 7, 7 p.m, All board members will be present, also people from the State Department of Education and the County Office, to bring you up to date and to answer the many questions you must have. It is in your your children's interest to attend this important meeting, to get the straight facts. Gossip and rumor abound, as usual, but I assure you, no more than a handful of citizens have attended. school board meetings since our first meeting. The local Parents Club is sponsoring another infor mational meeting and a potluck dinner Jan, 14, 6 p.m., also at the Fire Hall. This is also to promote the bond issue. There will be speakers at this event, too, mostly local people. Please plan to attend both these meetings. The bond, election is Jan, 18, and the time is short to get the information you need to make your vote count.
