CLUB HOPE, A CLUB FORMED LAST YEAR AT THE HIGH SCHOOL (PUSHED BY OPRAH)
TO HELP CITIZENS OF KENYA, HAS BEEN DOING FUND RAISERS SO THAT 19
MEMBERS AND 5 CHAPERONES CAN TAKE A TRIP TO THE COUNTRY NEXT JULY
TO HELP BUILD A SCHOOL. BUT, THE MAQUOKETA SCHOOL BOARD ISN'T SURE THEY WILL APPROVE THE TRIP. THE BOARD DISCUSSED THE ISSUE ABOUT 90 MINUTES LAST NIGHT AND DIDN'T COME TO A DECISION. SAFETY IS THE
MAIN CONERN.

THE BOARD OFSUPERVISORS ARE NOT SURE THEY WANT TO ABATE THE TAXES
ON A BUILDING DAC, INC. OWNS IN MAQUOKETA. OVER $8,000, DUE SEPT. 30TH.
THIS MORNING, THEY POSTPONED THEIR DECISION AGAIN. THEY ARE AFRAID
OF ESTABLISHING A PRECEDENT. DAC PAYS NO TAXES ON SOME BUILDINGS
BUT DOES PAY ON THE ADAC BUILDING WHICH MANUFACTURES ITEMS FOR A PROFIT. DAC SAYS THE DANCE CLASSES IN THE BUILDING IN QUESTION DO NOT PROVIDE DAC A PROFIT. DAC SAYS IT REALLY SHOULD HAVE ASKED THAT THE BUILDING BE EXEMPT WHEN THEY COMPLETED THE BUILDING SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
