A A Wednesday, Feb. 15, 1984 LOMPOC RECORD (Lompoc, Calif.) A3 groups ask city for funds human service organizations have filed formal requests with the city of Lompoc for portions of the 1984-85 Community Development Block Grant fund of $421,414. An estimated 20 persons were on hand at City Hall Tuesday for an informal, planning public staff meeting for the with start the of a process that will conclude in early summer. Deadline for. filing for money from the fund is Feb.

24. The three organizations with formal requests already in the hands of the city staff are Shelter Services for Women, Community Action Commission and Valley Services for and Families. The requests and a staff report with recommendations will be considered by the Lompoc City Council at a public hearing on March 20. By VAUGHN PROCTOR School board backs museum idea By TIM O'LEARY Staff writer Without a single dissenting vote cast all evening, the Lompoc School Board approved each item on its agenda Tuesday night, including an endorsement of the Western Spaceport Museum and Science Center, the reinstatement of former budget levels of school discretionary funds, and a recommendation that board member Chuck Knowles be nominated as a delegate to the California School Board Association. Prior to their vote on the spaceport museum, the board heard organizer Bob Young describe the project as "a vision and a dream" that could possibly be open within six months.

The board's recommendation precedes a Lompoc City Council quiry into the proposal, an action that, in the words of one school board member, "puts the cart before the horse." The City Council is scheduled to receive a feasibility study on the museum Thursday. In other financial matters, the board voted to receive $55,810 from the county treasury. The money, which has been held in an interestbearing account since 1975, is part of a $426,280 sum that was recently released by the county Superinten- dent of Schools office. In addition, the board increased the salary for the secondary summer school principal from $1,400 to $2,000. Arguing for the pay hike, assistant superintendent Bill Williams said the salary "has been low for so long and last year we didn't even get an application (for the position)." Salaries for summer school teachers were recently raised as well.

In personnel changes, the board voted to endorse the appointment of Joe Carlin to the County Committee on School I District Organization. Carlin, who served as Lompoc district's business manager for two decades, would take the place of Don Stalker, whose term expires in December 1984. Carlin's appointment must be approved by county Superintendent of Schools Bill Cirone. In order to retain 'Lompoc representation on the state School Boards Association, Knowles was nominated as a candidate for a vacant seat for the association's Region 11B Delegate Assembly. Nominated by Trustee Connie Steffen, who will be stepping down as a delegate to the association, Knowles must be elected to the post by school board members of the region, which consists of Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura counties.

In other business, the board approved changes in secondary school curriculum for the coming year. In all, four new courses were added and six were deleted. Although some high school curriculum modifications were recently mandated by the state Legislature as a result of Senate Bill 813, the impact here "isn't all that dramatic," board President Steve Straight said. Since all the courses which were targeted as required subjects by the legislature are already offered in Lompoc, comprising a "stiffer" course load, Straight said there will be little dis- Photos by Nick Galante FETCH?

Approximately "99 percent" of the curriculum changes approved Tuesday night, Straight added, were due to routine drops and adds in response to student interests.

Daily Record Solvang school facilities planned SANTA BARBARA (CNS) All of the money collected from developers in the Santa Ynez Valley for recreation will be used in another joint venture to upgrade park facilities, the Board of Supervisors decided Monday. The project will be at Solvang Tower School where the $10.600 will be used for sportsfields, irrigations sytem, picnic units, playground equipment and blacktop areas.

As Park Director Mike Pahos pointed out, the project is similar to one in Orcutt, in which the county went in with May Grisham School to upgrade recreation. The theory for the relatively new concept is that joint ventures are beneficial to both the school and the public, thus getting double duty out of park activities. No plans have been drawn up as yet, Pahos said, but the board needed to approve an agreement with the school district to lock in the legal requirements. S-20 opening set for Thursday The Highway S-20 (Vandenberg Road) detour between Santa Maria and Lompoc will open Thursday probably in time for motorists' morning commute to Vandenberg Air Force Base, said R.C. Upham, a Santa Barbara County roads engineer.

Unless "something unforeseen" comes up, Upham said. the remaining work, including erosion control and sealing the existing pavement, should be completed today, and the road should open sometime before 6:30 a.m. Thursday.

PELTOMAA Non-Surgical Neck Back Care SHOULDER-ARM PAINS THREATEN JOB Q. Dr. Timo, I have severe shoulder and arm pains constantly. I am on heavy medication and have had cortisone shots. Nothing including physical therapy, seems to help.

What should i do next as my job is now being threatened? A. Your next best bet is a thorough chiropractic examination. I suggest this because you may have been examined and treated in the wrong area of your body. I mean by this simply that you may have a problem in a distant area that produces the seemingly unsolvable pain of your shoulders and arms. Q.

I don't see what you are talking about. How could my shoulder and arm pains be caused by another problem in another area? A. Nerves are rather elusive and deceptive at times. For example, a fall, a whiplash or other similar injuries in your neck may affect the function and reduce the life energy or nerve impulse farther on down the line of the same nerve. Have you ever hit your elbow and felt your fingers become numb or tingle? Well, the same thing so often occurs with neck problems.

As a matter of fact, this is why nerve problems are so often quite difficult to treat. And it is also why it takes special chiropractic training and understanding to successfully treat these problems. Q. But wouldn't I have pain in the neck if it were causing my shoulder and arm pain? A. Not necessarily so at all.

But, your neck may be causing other problems that you don't normally associate with a neck nor do you seek out proper neck treatment to solve. Think of it, such a neck problem may also cause headache. migraines, loss of memory or concentration, visual blurring, loss of balance and irritability, nose bleeds, tri-facial neuralgia, facial paralysis, spots in front of the eyes, stiffness, sinusitis, hay fever, fatigue and exhaustion. It may even be a prime cause of certain cardiac problems. But many shoulder problems that fail to respond to ordinary treatment can readily be solved with modern chiropractic care.

Q. is there any other remote cause other than the neck? A. Yes, often such problems can be related to a sluggish, inflamed or congested liver or gall bladder. Here again, the modern day chiropractor is quick to pick up the diagnostic signs necessary to get rid of your problem. May I suggest you've waited long enough.
