The village president added that while many zone applicants have a high percentage of unemployment, Forest View has a small population and not a large amount of residents without jobs.

Dolman said West Central Municipal Conference officials told him they believed the village needed completed plans for proposed projects, and another option of joining already established, nearby zones would take too long to accomplish. ByKENMANSON Forest View will no longer seek enterprise zone status, choosing instead a tax increment financing program as an incentive to attract new businesses to the village and particularly land containing a vacant power-generating plant.

The board passed a resolution recommended by the Coalition for the Preservation of the Current Nurse Practice Act calling for the extension of the present act beyond its expiration in December of 1987. Specifically, the resolution states the board believes the present licensure requirements for professional registered nurses have successfully met the needs of the state; that the board opposes any change ixi the current Illinois Nursing Act that would require a bachelor degree in nursing science as a minimum educational preparation for licensure as a professional registered nurse; and that the board endorses the recommendation by Gov.

Janies Thompson in a summary sunset report on the present act to the 84th General Assembly favoring an extension of the present act. The movement to change the present act, sponsored by the Illinois Nurses Association, would change the requirements for the licensing pf registered professional nurses by requiring that only those with a bachelor of science degree in nursing be eligible to become registered practical nurses. According to Aline Tupa, Morton College nursing coordinator, graduates of associate degree nursing programs would no longer be licensed as registered professional nurses, but instead be eligible for licensure as registered associate nurses. Not much to do Those nurses would no longer be able to assess, plan and carry out patient care, Tupa told the board. They would only be able to follow through on the plans (developed) by nurses with a bachelors degree.

Associate degree nursing graduates from community college programs and hospital programs who are now licensed as RPNs would be grandfathered, Tupa said, a prospect which might cause administrative concerns, particularly in the, area of malp-racticesuits. Tupa cited Thompsons sunset report on the present act, released in March, that -f 1 1 (Please turn to page 2), Xk.

Smits comments Tuesday prefaced the boards final approval of a joint venture with the Berwyn Park District to section off the northwest portion of the playground at Komensky School, at 25th Street and Cuyler Avenue, for a public play and park area for children. Although each districts board approved the agreement during the summer, the park district requested a change in the wording of the pact, prompting Tuesdays tion. Smit and park district board President George Prescott were expected to sign a contract and The park district has agreed to incur the costs for the purchase and installation of all equipment and for the landscaping. South Berwyn then will assume responsibility for the maintenance of the area. The park district board is expected to advertise for bids for the equipment at its meeting Tuesday, Dec.

16. According to Smit, work is scheduled to begin in the spring. According to a model drawing by the park district presented by Smit to the school board Tuesday, the proposed park will include an area tor young children, including swings and a block of sand, and larger equipment and swings for older children. A grassy area in the middle will provide trees and park Please torn to page 2 finalize the deal Wednesday. The change in wording was outlined last week at a meeting of the park district board.

The agreement will remove any liability from the park district for use of the play equipment in the area and also remove any liability from the school district for use of its other facilities by the park district. Also, all warranties for the play equipment will be assigned to the school district. Smit told board members the liability for use of the equipment will not impact on our insurance because the insurance pool South Berwyn belongs to with 53 other school districts covers such equipment. South Berwyn currently has no equipment on any of its playgrounds.
