Mobile Form New Advisory Council In School District 156 By Inga I guess the weather man gave us a little reprieve from the spring weather so the snowmobilers could have their last fling in the 4 or 5 inches of snow we received last week. Earlier in the season you heard me mention the Illinois Association of Snowmobile clubs. For those not familiar with the club it is a corporation formed by the snowmobile clubs of Illinois for the purpose of creating safe snowmobiling and to send representatives to Springfield who will meet with state officials concerning our snowmobile registration act and to watch out for our in terests when new or revised laws are being planned. Recently the IASC held its first annual meeting at Rock Falls. It mixed business and pleasure during the 2 day conference. It was open to all official representatives of Illinois snowmobile clubs plus any individual regardless if they were members of a club or a club member of the IASC. The business portion of the conference included talks on "Where your snowmobile dollars are going in Illinois state Parks", "Insurance: Who needs it" and the election of new officers for the coming year. Roy Roadman of McHenry was elected Vice- president for 1972. From a recent news letter I received from the IASC it states that the Dept. Of Con servation will be spending our registration fees and fines in four areas, administration of the law, safety education, law enforcement and the con struction and maintenance of snowmobile facilities. The state expects to register 15,000 snowmobiles this season, it has already reached the 14,000 mark, not including some 8,000 Illinois owned machines now registered in Wisconsin and some 6,000 registered in Michigan. The IASC states that there are a number of important changes being planned for the I l l i n o i s s n o w m o b i l e registration act. It co6ts a good deal of money to. pay the way of representatives to meet with the state officials, even though the time of these individuals is donated to the IASC. There are meals, travel lodgings, printing and postage, etc. I urge everyone who is in terested in snowmobiling and where your registration money will be spent, to join the Illinois association of snowmobile clubs. There are several types of memberships, individuals, clubs, manufacturers, etc. For further information call Mr. Roadman at 385-0685 or myself at 385-2227. An interesting statement made by Mr. Schaefer, District Land Mgr. from the Dept. of Conservation, "Snowmobile Club members cause the department less trouble than do individual snowmobilers." This would indicate, and I believe it is true, that snowmobilers who belone to a snowmobile club are a more responsible snowmobiler with respect for the law and the personal property of others. When you read in the newspapers that a snowmobiler damaged this or that or caused trouble here or there it is my opinion if you check closer you would find that 90 percent of the time they did not belong to a snowmobile club. Most clubs have strict rules governing their members. To continue with our trip with the Harmony Snowmobile Club to the Apostle Islands I men tioned Bayfield's second annual snowmobile safari. This safari is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Bayfield mer chants put on dances, trail rides, which the local snowmobile club members donate their time as free guides, trophies given the snowmobiler who came the furthest distance, and last but not least the fish boil. Fresh trout is caught at the Apostles, boiled and served with potatoes Reid Alderson, Miss Betsy Hamm and Russell Schiller appeared at the Tuesday evening meeting of the board of High School District 156 after arranging to be placed on the agenda. Schiller read a report on Alderson's recent effort to have a petition filed for candidate on the board, and noted the opinion by Attorney General Scott that 18-year-olds are not permitted to hold such office even though they may now vote. i Miss Hamm then presented a resume containing information compiled by Alderson on the formation of a Citizens Ad visory council for the district. A recent meeting with Board President James Althoff on the matter revealed a lack of support and limited success in the past. However, the report indicated Alderson's opinion that while he recognized previous efforts may have proved futile, he has found through personal discussion, tremendous amounts of in terest and support for a Citizens Advisory council". He added that numerous in dividuals have already volunteered to be members. Although Alderson's report expressed a desire to have board approval to proceed, the board said it would be im possible to meet with the council until May. In other business, bills were approved with one dissenting vote, that of Clint Claypool. In discussing the travel policy, Claypool said it was his opinion this shoud be on a rotating basis rather than some teachers being allowed frequent travel and others none. The board member also objected to the fact that while teachers are allowed meal expenses for such trips, students who are taking the trip for the school must pay their own. A further discussion in volving a teacher present at the meeting revealed that the ) and slaw. The safari is held around the first weekend in March. Anyone interested in going on a safari for next year can write to Jerry Hall, Chamber of Commerce, Bayfield, Wis. At Sandy Point Beach where we snowmobiled too, I said we visited the Inn which is the northern most building in Wisconsin. Parked in front of the Inn we saw one of the first snowmobiles built in the early 60's. The history of this snowmobile is quite in teresting. Built by Mr. Gutz- man, he called it Trail A Sled. The skis were attached to a small enclosed cockpit, motorized by an engine with a pusher type propeller in the rear. The unique part was that above the skis were two wheels. When the skis were retracted the wheels came down and the snowmobile could be pulled behind the car, thus the name "Trail A Sled". A gentleman gave all of us a demonstration and the forerunner of the snowmobile really looked odd compared to our modern machines. Through the years Mr. Gutzman improved and remodeled the original version and a few years ago sold his interests. We encountered quite a bit of slush on the lakes. It is caused by the pressure of heavy snow on the ice, causing it to force water to the surface. Getting stuck in a half a foot of slush takes at least three men to remove the machine. One man can do it, but it's a lot of hard work. The slush almost creates a vacuum and you are only able to move it a few feet at a time hoping to hit solid footing. When you encounter slush the practice is to open the throttle and try to run over it, if you're lucky. All Northern Lakes have this problem and a person should check with the local merchants before starting out mi the lakes. A good practice is to ride not in single file, but three or four abreast. A single machine going over new slush usually does not have a problem if he is going at good rate of speed.

It was agreed that the board would study the matter and make changes as necessary in travel funds. Patrick Wirtz was named coordinator of the new Work Experience and Career Ex ploration program at East campus. He is a graduate of Marian Central and Southern Illinois university and holds a Social Science major. The employment of Ralph Bergin as outside custodian for eight months was approved. This is a new position. Mem bers also gave an okay to the employment of George Arm- brust to replace James Opelka, who resigned as custodian at East campus. A school calendar for the year 1972-73 was approved in spite of objections which had been voiced by some teachers opposed to returning before Labor day. However, the board said other arguments in favor of the calendar seemed more important, including the fact that it was deemed wise to have a common calendar for the high school and all school districts feeding the high school. Approval was given to obligate $2,835.63 in the 1972-73 budget for the purchase of educational materials in a particular project for Title II ESEA. The expenditure will be 100 per cent reimbursed. The plan is to utilize $1,389.50 for student library books, $1,276 for buying visual materials and $170.13 for recordings. The board approved a recommendation to extend the Special Education program to West campus next year. Alternative plans were discussed. Under the plan approved, only three students will need to be transported to other schools, whereas under the other plans many more would need to be bused to other locations. The cost of the program was announced as substantially lower than the alternatives. In other action, the board adopted a new policy to the board policy manual which would allow a student to par ticipate in more than one extra curricular activity (including athletics) at any time provided he or she can meet the time requirements or demands of each activity without con flicting with the others. A meeting was held between board members and the City Council last Monday, in which it was reported that a cooperative spirit existed. The school has proposed an arrangement in which the district would be reimbursed by developers. In this regard, members announced their intention to meet with the county board Finance com mittee Thursday. The next educational meeting is scheduled Wednesday, May 3, in the East campus cafeteria, when the topic will be "Special Education". President Althoff remarked that he understood no tax money will be available until November or December. In action taken following an executive session, the board expelled seven students at East campus for their connection with the recent bomb and fire threats at the school. Ticket Driver In Car-Truck Crash Tuesday A ticket for improper backing was issued by county deputies to Joseph J. Diedrich, Jr., of 3913 W. Waukegan road, McHenry, after a car-truck accident at the intersection of Woodlawn Park avenue and Lincoln road, northeast of McHenry, Tuesday afternoon about 5:30. Diedrich stated he was coming to a stop at the in tersection when he noticed a damaged fence located on the north side of Woodland Park avenue. He decided to inspect the fence more closely and began backing his pickup truck, failing to see an auto behind him. Driver of the car, Ronald A. Olszewski of 1809 Woodland Park, McHenry, told deputies he had stopped about 10 feet behind the truck and was waiting for it to pass through the intersection when Diedrich began backing.
