2 1993 SEP 2B ILLINOIS ILLINOIS FREEBURG Contract Talks Are Stalled, Teachers Say Teachers in the Freeburg Elementary School District and the district's School Board are at an impasse on contract negotiations, Tom Gaby, president of the Freeburg Elementary Teachers Association, said Wednesday. Gaby said the teachers have been holding "informational picketing" before and after school and are continuing to work. Pay increases and benefits are at issue. No more contract talks have been set, he said. The teachers have yet to send the board a five-day notice of intent to strike, he said, adding, "'We will most likely take action on a strike notice when we meet VENICE Suspect Held In Killing At Housing Project Police are holding a suspect in the killing Wednesday of Kartemus N.

Plight Looms Over Other State School Districts What happened to Riverview Gardens could happen to other districts in Missouri that do not make the adjustment from "quantity to quality," says Claire Hennessy McCown, a state supervisor of instruction. Under the old system, the state basically wanted to know numbers: for instance, how many books a district's library had.
Now the state wants to know whether students are using those books, teachers are taking part of the selection and someone is teaching students library skills.

Nuclear Waste In Weldon Spring's Future By Judith Vande Water Of the -Dispatch Staff The government is likely to bury millions of tons of radioactive and chemical wastes in a 72-acre mound at Weldon Spring, the manager of the $650 million cleanup said Wednesday. The disposal plan is one of four put on the table late last year. It calls for suspending the waste in grout and burying it in an enormous, watertight mound seated on a 20-foot deep clay pad. The mound will be topped with a cap designed to keep out rain. Project Manager Steve McCracken said he expects the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy to approve the permanent disposal facility this month.
McCracken said it would be at least a year before construction could begin. The cleanup is scheduled to be finished in 2001. The site is on Highway 94 within a half-mile of Francis Howell High School.

WE REGRET ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY HAVE CAUSED OUR CUSTOMERS. The waste includes buildings, machinery, dirt and sludge at an old uranium-processing plant on the site. Much of it was contaminated with uranium and nitroaromatics when the site was used to make explosives and enrich uranium for weapons. Another of the four disposal plans calls for shipping the contaminated material by rail to a hazardous waste dump in Utah. Another proposal would leave it stored as it is in temporary containers.
A fourth involves encapsulating the waste in glass pellets and burying it on site in a containment chamber similar to the one that is used in the grout method. The process is called vitrification. McCracken said vitrification probably would be the best way to stabilize the waste for the longest time, but the process has never been used on a project as large as Weldon Spring. The grout technology has been used in more than 60 Superfund cleanups, he said. Mary Halliday, a member of St.
Charles Countians Against Hazardous Waste, supported vitrification as "the more permanent solution." Halliday lives about 3 miles from the site. She fears that the radioactive waste eventually will break through the karst beneath the clay liner and leach into the ground water. "I don't think there is imminent danger, but there may be danger several generations in the future," she said. Simply Amazing Mortgages!
