A %u201c social%u201d beginning at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 21, with a wine tasting preceded the meeting which began at 8:15 p.m.CBNY members voted to incorporate as a nonprofit, tax exempt corporation at last week%u2019s meeting - once the papers for incorporation have been approved, CBNY will no longer be governed by a president, but by an executive committee consisting of approximately 15 active members. Some of those elected to the executive committee are: Pat Archibald, Peter Drago, Maggie Livingston, Sal Ferrioli, to name a few.There was a good turnout, about 40 people, among those representatives from both Sen. Bellamy%u2019s and Assemblyman Pesce%u2019s offices.

The Sanitation Department has given its personnel instructions to pick up newspapers that are properly tied and place them on the specially designed carrying rack on the sanitation truck. If the rack is full, the men will leave the papers for pickup on their next scheduled run. This service is now available every day of the week.Sherry Koehler noted that persons observing 8anitatinn me>n throwing thebundled newspapers into the back of the truck, instead of into the special carrying rack, should take note of the following information %u2014 the street, date of the incident, and the truck serial number (this is a 6 digit number located on both sides of the truck body, near the truck cab) %u2014 and this information, in turn, should be sent to Mr. Dick Napoli, Director of Public Information, Sanitation Department, 125 Worth St., New York, Telephone, 566- 5527; or contact Mr. Herb Elish, Acting Administrator, EPA, Municipal Building, New York, Telephone, 566- 0278-79.Concerned citizens should make every effort to help insure that this program is being carried out properly, Ms. Koehler concluded.Slope School Weathered CrisisThe most nagging problem of starting new institutions is designing a broad enough financial base to insure a continued, innovative program. The Park Slope Community School has just weathered a financial crisis that threatened its very existence, and the school is now the stronger for it.The school opened in fall 1968 as a cooperative venture by parents interested in innovative educational programs for the ParkSlope community. In the last four years the school has expandedfrom 30 to 130 pupils at the preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade levels. This fall they purchased a new facility at 50 Seventh Ave., and the expenditures necessary for renovation and equipment sent the school into the red. Expected funding resources were not forthcoming to cover these expenses. The situation reached a crisis level in October when the IRS impounded the school%u2019s bank accounts for unpaid taxes.The parents rallied to meet the crisis, working day and night to keep the school operating.

In addition, committees were formed to get the school operating on a firmer financial basis. Their fund-raising effort proved very fruitful. In the past three months, such affairs as a Chinese banquet, a crafts fair, and a cocktail party have raised over $5001 for the school, with the result that the IRS has now lifted the pressure and the school%u2019s operating funds have been replenished.Audrey Bashford, the school%u2019s new administrative director, reported an unforeseen result of the recent effort. %u201cIn the past months, there%u2019s been an incredible dedication to the school. The crisis forced us to reevaluate where we were and where we%u2019re headed. Before we%u2019ve always worked on a day-to-day basis, but now we%u2019re asking what kind of school weoptimally can be and are directing our planning in this way. In better times it would have taken us two years to come to such a revitalization of our goals,%u201d she said.As a result of recent discussions, it has been decided hot to work for continued expansion at this time, but to concentrate on further improvement of the existing programs. The school is now engaged in a fund-raising effort toequip the school to serve as a model environment for the children, as well as a training, testing and observation center for teachers. The main thrust of the program will be to continue to experiment with techniques to amplify the creative learning situation. According to Ms. Bashford, a major advantage of the school is that it serves an economically integrated community, and the families served reflect this.Bohacks ChargedWith Consumer ViolationsAfter revealing that it had found bones in the %u201c boneless beef shoulder roasts%u201d and shortweight figs, chestnuts and olives, the Department of Consumer Affairs slapped the Bohack supermarket at 258 Livingston St. in Downtown Brooklyn with 137 violations.%u201cThe bones in the %u2018boneless beefBEFORE YOU FILE THATTAX RETURN: STOP by fora chat.
