L CITY ACTS TO EXTEND CURBS ALONG RT. 120 (Continued from page 1) had cHosen a site south and west of the' service station, behind the condominiums and the high school. Meyer had talked to Ladd and thought they had agreed on the location. Gerstad noted that the site had not beenj)inpointed to him but that the land will be available where the city wants it. He said that before he presents the final plans of Unit 7 for approval at the next meeting, he will work out streetlight easements and a water tower site with Supt. Meyer. City Attorney John Looze announced that the McHenry County Zoning Board of Ap­ peals had scheduled a hearing April 18, concerning a request by Harold and Josephine Paul of 607 South Route 31, McHenry, for a zoning variance to allow them to maintain and operate a storage warehouse for motorcycle parts and ac­ cessories. The property in­ volves approximately three- acres of land and is located west of Route 31, just south of the intersection of Idyll Dell road. The business is in; o p e r a t i o n a t t h e p r e s e n t t i m e . j The property is adjacent to the proposed site for the new McHenry hospital (the Joseph Stilling farm). Ed Datz, chairman of the McHenry Planning commission, reported that the attorney for the hospital, Joseph Connerty of Woodstock, plans to appear and object on behalf of the hospital. Alderman Ted Pitzen commented that he didn't think the 1-1 (light industry) zoning was proper for this area because it is located between and across from residential homes. "Would you want a piece of industrial property between you and your neigh­ bor"? he questioned. Mayor Donald Doherty volunteered to take the matter under study and report back at the April 16 meeting. The Council will then decide whether to authorize Looze to represent the city as an ob­ jector at the hearing. In other business, pay for judges of election was established at $30 per day. Looze noted that Special Assessment Collector Tom Bolger reported that to date, he has collected $63,402.47 on principle and $146.62 on interest charges. This represents fifty- eight people who have paid up, Doherty explained. Looze presented information he had received in regard to inquiries made regarding the Lakeland Park Water" com- n. To obtain a true picture he Council, Looze asked that City Auditor Bill North submit his evaluation of the data received. City Engineers Baxter and Woodman, were also asked for their evaluation. However, Hal Sundin of that firmTeplied it could not be done unless a full study of the system is undertaken. Before proceeding further, Looze was instructed to contact Sundin and find out how much such aj study would cost. . Supt. Meyer informed the Council that paper work and negotiations for moving Boone creek are almost completed. A permit request will be sent to the State later this week. Alderman Stanek suggested that when" this work is begun, some thought should be given to putting in a settling pond near Oakwood drive because silt will be coming in from upstream. Alderman George Harker thought the pond could be put in the five-acre park land acquired recently. The matter will be investigated further. Stanek also suggested pur­ chasing the corner lot which will be needed to get the Lillian; street extension under way. Before taking further action on this lot, the Council appointed Supt. Meyer to obtain an agreement from another property owner in order to complete the right-of-way. Regarding revenue sharing funds, Pitzen expressed his opinion that part of the funds should be used for street; and road repairs. Rogers hien- tioned the Park committee felt the funds should be used to improve the park in Whispering Oaks. Alderman Bill Bolger felt the city and township should work together and use part of their funds to repair roads. At this point Alderman Ray Smith pointed out that the aldermen had made their revenue sharing priorities known on a questionnaire which had been given to City Clerk Earl Walsh at a previous meeting for tabulation. A report on the highest priorities listed will be submitted at the next meeting. Smith felt everyone should hold com­ ments until the results of the survey are known. Alderman Bolger mentioned that since the city is receiving these revenue sharing funds, the Council should be able to reduce the new tax rate levy by 10 percent. The Council agreed to work toward that goal. The date of the annual meeting was set for April 23 at 8 p.m. The fast pace of today's living may have something to do with its high cost. PRESENT EVALUATION OF TEAM TEACHING (Continued from page 1) responsibility in picking up after themselves. To promote this idea, different equipment and various objects are presented for their use. They are instructed in proper use and if such items are not handled properly or not returned to their proper place at the end of class sessions, the items are removed from the room for a length of time. The teachers receive many comments from parents on the improvement shown in their children regarding picking up after themselves at home. Since numerous field trips ar^ taken (Turing these programs, mothers and fathers become involved. Mother volunteers are also used in the program to read instructions to the students. Teachers reported there has been a great response from mothers this year. Suggestions for improving future programs of this type included devoting more time to testing and screening children so they get the help they need; obtaining more storage space in the room ; eliminating a desk for each child and using tables instead to provide more floor space and having fellow teachers provide more feed­ back regarding student reaction. Karl Stueben reported for the Hilltop Intermediate Learning Environment team. This group felt the year had been suc­ cessful so far and no major problems had developed. Mini- courses have been especially popular with the children. The students also learn self direction and by participating in group activities, learn to get along with each other. It was the opinion of the teachers that these students would adjust better when entering junior high school because of this program. Teachers agreed that more parents were interested in these open classroom programs probably because they had a say in whether or not they wanted their children to participate in the programs. The children felt this interest and reacted favorably. Stueben felt the teachers also benefited in that they had the opportunity to pool ideas, solve problems, get new ideas and work together on discipline problems. When asked if the teachers preferred an open or contained classroom, some felt there were advantages to both methods. Some missed having a class to call their own and didn't feel the closeness with the children. Darlene COhSidine felt that some children need personal help to be trusted so "we can trust each other in person-to- person relationships." Bill Hempel came from a fifth grade teaching position into the program. He said he would never go back to a contained classroom. He especially enjoyed working with the young children because "they are so eager to learn and are really interested in things that are going on in the world and in their own little worlds." All teachers involved ex­ pressed the opinion that it was a "fantastic experience" and they enjoyed working with their fellow teachers in the program. Dr. Robert Boos, superin­ tendent of District 15 schools, informed those in attendance that these teachers were all especially chosen for this project and were the best in their fields. He felt the teachers had worked very hard and should be commended for the success of the program. Board member David Cain asked if there was any way to measure the success of the program by achievement tests between children in the open and contained classrooms. Dr. Boos replied there was no way to compare them at this time. They did not expect many gains in the first two years. Success, he added, can ; probably be judged by looking to Parkland and the Junior high in the next few years to see if children are adjusting better through self direction, responsibility, learning habits, etc. Cain remarked, "Before we get into these programs, we ought to figure out what we are going to call cussess". BURGLARS ENTER McHENRY HOME; STEAL T. V. ~ (Continued from page 1) in their investigation by two detectives from the Sheriff's office. Carl Rietesel of 1201W. River road, McHenry, reported to county authorities that his pickup truck had been stolen from his residence sometime last Thursday morning. He heard the truck being driven away, north-bound on River road. The truck was described as a yellow Ford pickup equipped with hydraulic equipment. The name "Duck Hollow" was on both doors.
