SCHOOL ACTS TO CUT SPEED ON CAMPUS FRONTAGE (Continued from page 1) planned to conduct a tour, he had to be sure it was done outside school and no references to the trip could be made during school. Mrs. Alvary asked where one draws the line on the non-profit idea. Travel agencies, bus companies and sometimes the teachers do make a profit out of this. Lloyd Freund pointed out that many children don't have the means to take these trips and it might be "opening a can of worms you can't handle" if it appears the board endorses these tours. Freund felt it would affect not only the children but also their families. Mrs. Alvary and Freund both expressed the opinion that it was not right to promote business in the school by allowing a faculty member to sponsor a tour and then ad­ vertising in the school. Member Ed Neumann ex­ pressed the fear that by en­ couraging the tours the board might be creating a stigma on the students who could not financially handle it. Supt. Swantz noted that in some cases these trips afford very valuable experiences for children and you could be de­ priving them of this." Althoff observed that the board didn't say it was against such tours, it just didn't want the school to sponsor them. He told the superintendent to try to draft another policy which represents the board's attitude. Swantz reported that oc­ casionally a teacher is absent for a day and his teaching responsibilities are such that finding a qualified substitute is extremely difficult (Woods, Metals, Chemistry, etc). In such cases it would be educationally sound to utilize the free time of another teacher or staff member. By utilizing staff members, it might be possible to obtain a teacher who instructs a similiar course, the students would benefit and the taxpayer would be getting more for his dollar educationally than if someone is hired to just babysit with a class. Therefore, the board agreed to try using regular certified staff members of the district as volunteer substitutes at the rate of $5 per hour for a 90-day period of time. After that an automatic review of the policy will be made. The board accepted the resignation of Laura JctfA Fremouw, a teacher at East campus. She will leave at the end of the first quarter. She wishes to continue her studies in the Aerospace field. Discussion was held on construction of an additional baseball field at West campus. Swantz felt there was no way to resolve the situation this school year. He suggested that the freshman baseball team plan to practice at Freund field as in the past. "I really think we have to look at what we are going to do with that whole area," Swantz commented. "Nothing seems to fit without a lot of earth movement," he added. Althoff, however, urged the Building committee to look at the baseball diamond situation immediately because there is earth moving equipment out there now and it might be possible to get the work done very reasonably while the equipment is there. School admminstrators, coaches and the Building committee will look into the matter as soon as possible. A finalized copy of Board of Education Action Goals were presented to members for their reactions and discussions. All were satisfied with the finished report. ^n instructional meeting "Fire..Explosion.. Robbery.Jlccidents!" Yes, a businessman is faced with many risks of loss.

On Nov. 7, building principals will present a "?*®tement of position" specifying what is expected from McHenry high school teachers, which their association has requested. On Dec. 5, a town meeting will be held along with a Student Council report. Swantz reported that in line with the Action Goals, School District 12 at Johnsburg viewed the high school's meeting in the newspaper and extended an invitation to attend their next meeting on the second Tuesday in November. Several mem­ bers said they would attend. The board amended the of­ ficial school calendar for 1973- 74, moving Memorial day to May 30 and if not needed, a snow day will be set for May 31. Gov. Walker recently signed into law a bill which returns Memorial day to May 30 in­ stead of Monday, May 27, Approval was given to a certification of vocational education reimbursement application. It was noted that 1,500 out of 2,100 students are enrolled in at least one vocational education course. Last year, over $50,000 was received toward this program. Following executive session, the board announced that Mrs. Rebecca Sipprelle, substitute teacher for Ed Beling since Sept. 25, will be placed on the 1973-74 salary schedule with a BA degree third step. In other action, a student was expelled from school for the remainder of the year for gross misconduct. On display in the meeting room, were very impressive and professional looking drawings and blueprints done by students in the Architectural and Engineering Drafting courses. As the result of efforts by teacher Thomas Eicken- berg, two separate courses have been developed this year. CANCER SESSION "FOR WOMEN ONLY" (Continued from page 1) fifteen women in the United States develops cancer of the breast every year, the need for public education is vital. Co-chairwoman of the rap session, Joan Dostal, promises that the audience will find the moderator for the evening, Dr. Robert L. Schmitz, to be an exceedingly knowledgeable and stimulating speaker. Dr. Schmitz is on the faculty of the University of Illinois School of Medicine, is chairman of the Department of Surgery, Mercy •hospital and Medial Renter and also serves on the board of directors of the American Cancer society. He will devote a large portion of time to question and answers so women in the audience will be able to participate in the discussion. The McHenry Business and Professional Women extend an invitation to every woman in McHenry to attend this free seminar. The club reminds that the number of lives lost to EDGAR PROPERTY RECLASSIFIED BY COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) Two recommendations from the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals were read by City Clerk Earl Walsh. In the first, the ZBA * recommended granting approval for a special use permit for city property located at Court and Venice streets to construct a building for use of the McHenry Rescue squad. The Zoning board also suggested that a fence be erected along the property line on Venice avenue. On a roll call vote, Aldermen Bolger, Datz, Harker, Hromec and Rogers approved the ZBA's recom­ mendation and Aldermen Howard and Wegener voted no. In the second recom­ mendation, the ZBA moved to deny a request by Michael Wieser and wife and James Patzke and wife for reclassification of property located on the east side of McCracken field, across from the Junior high school. They sought to have it rezoned to allow the construction of a multi-family dwelling. The ZBA felt this would be con­ sidered spot zoning and would not be in the best interest of contiguous property owners. The Council voted unanimously to uphold the Zoning board's recommendation. County Board Chairman Walter Dean appeared at the meeting and informed the Council of county efforts to obtain a sanitary land fill site. This site would take household waste, possibly industrial waste, sludge from city sewerage plants and effluent from septic systems. However, he felt this could be two years hence. "In the meantime, we do have a problem", Dean stated. A new state law requires the registration of septic tank pumpers and also State En­ vironmental Protection agency permits for dumping sites. Septic tank pumpers in the county have been told they cannot dump on farms without EPA permits. Dean emphasized that people in rural areas are "up in the air about it". As of now, pumpers have been told to continue dumping on farms as in the past and they ask that farmers plow under the wastes as soon CHILD RECEIVES GASH WHEN HIT BY SCHOOL BUS (Continued from page 1) started to cross the street. Another student, Richard Muchala, of 1905 Knoll, verified Ms. Anderson's report of the accident, according to city police. breast cancer each year ex­ ceeds the ten-year total of deaths in Vietnam, and that many of these lives could have been saved through early detection and treatment. as possible. This will be con­ tinued until an individual farm is red tagged. Thereafter, there will be no more dumping on that farm. When a farm is red tagged, the county intends to appeal to the E.P.A. board for an ex­ tension of time because the County board is in the process of studying the matter. However, should an emergency arise, Dean asked if the city of McHenry would consider accepting effluent into its sewage system. He suggested dumping it into a manhole at the extreme end of a line. In this way, it would be mixed with other city sewage before it got to the plant. Alderman Harker replied that the city engineer had been contacted about this matter and it was his considered opinion that duelo the fact that this effluent is four, it would upset the chemical process of a municipal sewage plant. "He advised that the city stay away from this program" Harker reported. Harker mentioned that J^ean's suggestion to mix it with other sewage before it gets to the plant might alleviate the problem to some degree. Supt. Fred Meyer reported that Dr. Hal Sundin of Baxter and Woodman, city engineers, will meet with city officials next Monday night and he will present the situation to him. He told Dean, "We will have an answer next Monday night". Mayor Stanek felt the Council shouldn't consider taking ef­ fluent from outside the city limits. If residents within the city have their septic systems red tagged, he asked Dean to inform the Council because he felt these should be taken care of first. Dean reported that he had attended a meeting in Fox Lake regarding a proposed sewage treatment plant in Fox Lake which would serve the entire northwest quarter of Lake county. Dean is a member of the McHenry County Planning commission and he said they had received a request for a commitment on a $12 million dollar grant for that plant at Fox Lake. Dean said that plant proposed to run a 48-inch pipe into the Fox river which would dump from six to twenty-four million gallons of effluent into the Fox river every twenty-four hours. Dean asked officials what would happen to Johnsburg, Sunnyside, McHenry, and other towns along the river when flooding conditions occur such as last April. Also, he asked, since the state EPA only allows a given amount of discharge at certain points in the Fox river and if Lake county utilizes the whole amount, what if McHenry county has to have a sewage treatment plant in Spring Grove, Pistakee Highlands, Sunnyside or some other town? Where would we go with ef­ fluent from our treatment plants? Another meeting on the ^CLEARANCE SALE THIS WEEKEND ONLY- ---- THURSDAY THRU SUNDAY ALL TERRARIUMS IN STOCK 20% OFF REG.

Dean will inform the Council when and where it will be held. Alderman Don Howard, chairman of the License committee, reported that his committee had met and discussed the request for a packaged beer license. After considerable discussion, the committee recommended that the request be denied at this time. The city has no license for this and one would have to be established to cover it. Aldermen felt it was not necessary to establish another license, mostly because the city would loose some control. Also, if one food store received such a license, other food stores would also want them. "It would be difficult to control that many places" Howard stated. Therefore, the Council voted to deny the request. 0 Miss Dale Page and Trem Nolan appeared at the meeting, representing the Coffee House, to make the Council and the community aware of their function. The Coffee House, which is sponsored by the Alliance Bible church, is open every Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. It is located in a building next to the church at 3815 W. John street. Their emphasis is on youth from junior high age children to young marrieds. However, everyone is welcome. Persons are encouraged to come in and discuss topics of interest to them and meet people their own age. Adult chaperones are in attendance. Mayor Stanek mentioned that he had gone to the Coffee House and was very impressed. There were rumors of dope and other trouble at the gatherings but Nolan emphasized that "these rumors are not true. Our purpose is to combat this very thing." Jack Pepping, chairman of the Parks committee, advised that his group had met with several members of snowmobile clubs in the McHenry area. They wanted to get the city's feeling on snowmobiles traveling across some city land in order to complete their trails outside the city limits. State regulations require that whenever private property is crossed or utilized by snowmobiles, written per­ mission must be obtained from the owners. These vehicles are also prohibited from crossing four-lane state highways. Pepping described a southern trail that the snowmobilers wanted to establish. The trail would start at the American Legion home on Ringwood road, cross farm property at PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. OCTOBER 19. 1973 Martin road, Draper road, Route 31 at Idyll Dell road and Barreville road, then in back of the Country club subdivision, across Country club property to Rivera Yacht Basin, where snowmobiles are fueled and repaired. The northern trail from the Legion home would go along the shore line of McCullom Lake across the Freund farm and northward to Wisconsin. Only about'l1^ miles of trails would be in the city limits. Discussion was held on noise problems, speed restrictions, curfew hours, enforcement problems and how close these trails might come to residential areas. Rogers mentioned that if there is no ice on the lake, there is no room to run snowmobiles along the shoreline without traveling on private property. Lloyd Wagner, secretary of the Lakeland Park Property Owner's association, said that group had passed a curfew at its last general meeting. To date, no one has approached the association requesting permission to cross the land. He said snowmobiles have been traveling on Shore drive in the past, they have had no concern for prople there and they need to be controlled. City Attorney Bernard Narusis reported that he could see a million problems in connection with an ordinance on snowmobiles. It was also pointed out the McCullom Lake is not in the city limits and the city has no jurisdiction there. Mayor Stanek felt that if permission is given to snowmobilers from private land owners within the city, the city should definitely place some restrictions on them. He didn't want to be receiving calls at midnight from irate residents complaining about noisy snowmobiles. "Let them travel at their own risk," the Mayor stated. "If they get into our hair, we will take them out of our hair," he emphasized. Walter Dean noted that McHenry County Sheriff Ar­ thur Tyrrell has had past ex­ perience with snowmobile clubs in the county. Stanek therefore authorized Pepping to contact Tyrrell and get any information that might help resolve the problem. Attorney Narusis will contact other municipalities and see what ordinances they have regar­ ding the matter. Approval was given to the McCullom Lake Youth League to hold a tag day in the city Oct. 27. The Knights of Columbus were granted permission to hold a candy sale Nov. 3 for the benefit of crippled children. COUNTY OKAYS TENTATIVE BUDGET (Continued from page 1) The present cost in this county is $8.30 and would in­ crease to $9.56 under the proposed budget. However, Lake county runs higher than McHenry. Some board members ex­ pressed an opinion that with the rapid growth of McHenry county and the proximity to the metropolitan area, deputies' responsibilities are greater locally and for this reason demand a higher salary. Greater activity in the Sheriff's department was reflected in the State's At­ torney's department budget. It rose from $51,000 in 1966 to $199,250 for next year. Willard Hogge, supervisor of assessments, was asked if there would be a revaluation of real estate, or if there might be a rate change. Hogge referred to a letter from Frank A. Kirk, director of the Department of Local Government Affairs, which stated that the rate will be "frozen". Kirk said that "unless there are wide variations in assessment levels from the previous year, each county will receive the same multiplier (county equalization factor) as last year". The supervisor noted that re­ valuation at this time would be unfair and cause the loss of public aid to educational funds. This is so because valuations have risen sharply from the years 1966,' 67 and '68 and the state would require greater taxation to qualify for present aid funds. It was noted through the budget that three divisions - those of Public Health, En­ vironmental Health and Veterinary Public Health -- are listed for expenditures of $321,000, whereas revenue is anticipated at only $268,000. This necessitates the levying of a tax in the amount of $53,000 next year. Reconsideration was given to the increase in license fees for restaurants. It was decided to set the amount at $25 rather than the $50 suggested at the first October meeting. A por­ tion of the money will go to the Health department. BURGLARIES, VANDALISM IN McHENRY AREA (Contimued from page 1) east of the bridge were damaged early last Thursday morning in addition to the thirteen that were hit by vandals in McHenry the same morning. Windows were broken at The Bath Shop of 3012 W. Route 120, Gem Cleaners of 3004 W. Route 120, Smoke and Gun store on W. Route 120 and Lakeland Chrsyler Plymouth, 7508 W. Route 120, all east of McHenry. It was not im­ mediately determined what had been used to put holes in windows of the establishments. County officials are continuing investigation. ! THINK ABOUT IT! i By BOB JUSTEN Medical science, surgical techniques and medicat­ ions have made miraculous gains in recent years. The hospital is no longer just a place to die. Hos­ pitals today are well girded to prevent untimely death. Along with these marvelous improvements, the ha­ zards of living have multiplied beyond reason or com­ prehension. Day after day coroners, reports of D.O.A. "dead on arrival" appear far too often. Accidental deaths now number well over 100,000 per year. Many of these unnecessary deaths occur because of panic. Panic will never be eliminated entirely but certain cautions can be taken to avoid it. Here they are - 1. Promise yourself that if and/or when you need an ambulance, fire truck or police, you WILL stay calm. 2. Give your name clearly and calmly. 3. Give EXACT address where help is needed. 4. Briefly answer any question as clearly and calmly as you can. 5. Don't give unnecessary information. 6. Say what you have to say in as few words as possible. REMEMBER these six suggestins! MEMORIZE them! It will help you have emergency help to arrive - in time . . . GEORGE R. JUSTEN FUNERAL HOME, 3519 W. Elm Street, McHenry, Illinois.
