It was announced that the annual faculty dinner would be held Oct. 2 at the Fox Lake Country Club. The board decided to purchase one day's time (seven hours) from SEDOM for $100). The LD teacher could use the time as she felt necessary and would be able to make use of some of SEDOM's equipment. The summer school claim was approved as per the recommendation of Supt. Behling. The hourly wage for temporary part time help was set at $2.50. Mrs. Kathy Wehrheim asked the board's approval to have the children collect soup labels for audio visual equipment as they did last year. After discussion, the board decided that the labels could be collected but it could not be a competitive contest between grades. A container would be allowed in the hallway to collect the labels. Mrs. Beverly Schmitt addressed the board and wanted to find out the status of the education committee. Discussion followed and the board contended that meetings would be held in the evenings when a broader section of the community could be involved. The board decided to try this suggestion and see if more people would participate. Board members Duane Wood and Lenard Duncan were appointed to study job descriptions, duties and hours for non - certified personnel. Board members Janet Busch and Inger Gosch were instructed to attend and observe the education committee. A resolution was passed to make a permanent transfer of $20,000 from the education fund to the building fund. The resolution passed unanimously. Board members present at the meeting included Lenard Duncan, Janet Busch, Inger Gosch, John Kohl, Susan Nilles, 'Duane Wood and Burton Greene. President Susan Nilles conducted the meeting. INVESTIGATE SEVERAL BURLARIES IN AREA HOMES C^ontinued from page i; had been searched and the contents had been thrown on the floor. An initial inventory failed to reveal that anything had been taken. James Grothman of 5428 W. Shore drive, McHenry, informed county authorities that an Ultratone Contrabase bugle in a black case had been .taken from his locked car while it was parked at his home sometime early Saturday morning. Entry was gained by breaking the right vent window of the auto. Fred Hultin of 313 Tia Juana, McHenry, notified officials that sometime Saturday nigijU, axes, wedges, a splitting mln and nylon rope were taken from his truck which was parked at his residence. The tools are used in his tree business. A trail bike was taken from the garage of Howard Knox at &3 Barreville road, McHenry, sometime Monday. The offender opened the overhead door of the garage and removed the cycle. Deputies investigated the theft of copper wire from the General Telephone company at 3810 E. Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, last week. Company officials reported that two spools of wire were found to be missing from their storage lot on Aug. 27. However, at that time it was believed construction workers had been making use of it. Last Friday, the empty spools were discovered at the bottom of a hill on the northeast side of the building. Taken from one spool was 200 feet of plastic insulated AVAIL 3-21 AGE GROUP SERVICES AT DAY CARE PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) that we have many trained specialists able to evaluate the handicaps of these severely handicapped people," said Lam bourn The professionals all work in close conjunction with a consulting physician, the physical therapist for example working with Dr. Clarence Hart, orthopedic surgeon. The physical therapist then instructs the staff nurse in therapy techniques. A full-time speech -therapist works on a one-to-one basis with the children. "Each child is seen as much as is necessary, usually every day," summarized Lam bo urn He urged parents with children who have severe handicaps to contact the Pioneer Center for the Exceptional, operate!! by the McHenry County Association for the Retarded, at 385-3310. "We have teachers qualified as individual aides. We have a consulting physician available, plus social workers for parent- family education and communication. We have a psychologist available to test and develop individual programs of service, said Lam bourn. The 3-21 Day Care program started in 1970 with two teachers and two aids under the direction of Lambourn as executive director for the total programs of service provided by Pioneer Center. Today, the facilities can handle up to forty children, and the staff includes three teachers, three aides, a nurse, a part-time physical therapist, a full-time speech therapist, a secretary, and a full-time director VANDALS SPRAY PAINT ON CRUISER DOCKED AT PIER! (Continued from page 1) damage. Three basement windows were broken, .two window screens were damaged, a light fixture and the door of a medicine cabinet were broken, towel bars were pulled from the wall and a can of turpentine was spilled on the floor. It is believed area children had been responsible for the damage. Jonathan Wong, a Libertyville resident who is building a home at 2514 Park Terrace, McHenry, reported that sometime last week holes had been kicked in nearly all of the plasterboard wall panels at his new home under construction. SUN CAUSES COLLISION OF TWO VEHICLES (Continued from page 1) Sheryl Lynn Morgan of 102 S. Vernon drive, McHenry and her passenger, Frederick A. Kinder of the same address, excaped injury after their car left the road and landed on its side in a creek alongside Wonder Lake just east of Thompson road, west of Wonder Lake. The mishap occurred last Saturday afternoon about 4:30. Deputies reported that the Morgan auto was east-bound on Wonder Lake road.

ARREST TWO LOCAL YOUTHS ON DRUG CHARGES (.Continued from page 1) a controlled substance were found in DeNicolo's possession. When advised he was under arrest, DeNicolo fled the scene on foot into a nearby cornfield. Nearby state police arrived to assist in a search for the subject using an aircraft of the state police. However, DeNicolo was later found in Ringwood by another deputy who had arrived to assist. Parfrey's bond was set at $1,000 with court appearance scheduled for Oct. 21.

He has developed state- approved vocational evaluation program at Pioneer Center for the adult services provided the handicapped at the workshop facility. "Jimmie has worked with the state funding agency involved in helping the hahdicapped and knows how to contact those groups that can provide added assistance," said Lambourn. AIR VIEWS ON WATER COMPANY (Continued from page 1)> Rogers charged that the petitions demanding a referendum caused the owner to sell the stocks of the water company to another party, not any action taken by the city. These petitions • ended any chance for purchase by the city, he argued. Referring to the petitions, Rogers charged they were fraudulent and "there is no question in my mind some people were deliberately lied to". "There are over fifty instances where one signed for more than one name," he contended. He pointed out that some petitions were circulated by persons other than those listed as being the circulators. Also several signatures appear on more than one petition and some are non - residents of the city, Rogers argued. He said that on "page 36" of a petition, Alderman Hromec signed as circulator but several people admitted to him their signatures were secured by someone else. "Who circulated petition 36 and who signed signatures 8, 9 and 10?" he questioned. Rogers also mentioned that some who signed the petitions felt they were deceived and some desired to express their opinions at this meeting. "It's a moot issue now," Rogers observed, " But I would say there probably would have been a hook-up charge to cover hook-up fees and the cost of a meter. There is for everyone," he added. "But how could anyone equate a one-time nominal charge with what we feel will be a high water rate," Rogers argued. "The only member of the Council who mentioned special assessment was Alderman Hromec," Rogers insisted. "We fully expected to pay for improvements through revenues," he emphasized. Rogers felt it was "an affront to the citizens of Lakeland Park that so much time and money was spent in coming to an equitable agreement with the owner and it was bought by another concern." "The city is in the water business as a public service," he noted. "A private company is in it for profit." Stating that he felt he spoke for many residents of Lakeland Park when he said emphatically, "I say we've been had'." Following Rogers' remarks, Alderman Hromec asked, "Will time be made available to me to answer all the m i s s t a t e m e n t s a n d inaccuracies made in that statement?" Mayor Stanek assured her that as an alderman, she could raise the issue when she wanted. In answer to a comment made by Mrs. Bowlin, Stanek explained that the Oct. 1 deadline was not a factor in Robino - Ladd's selling the water company because no signatures had been affixed to any contract. Mayor Stanek informed the Council that Ralph Edgar, owner of the property in back of McHenry Savings and Loan and Gladstone's Department store, called him and offered to sell the property to the city for $155,000 at 10 percent down and 10 percent interest on a ten year agreement. Attorney Narusis quickly interjected, "Your statutes provide that you can't pay more than 7 percent interest." A l d e r m a n H o w a r d announced that he is planning to meet with Green Street Mall .nerchants Oct. 8 to discuss parking matters with them Mayor Stanek said that he and the public property committee would also like to be invited to attend that meeting. Dr. Johar.n Johnson, County Veterinarian, appeared at the meeting to discuss a proposed agreement for cooperative animal control services between the city and county. He related that the County Board was in the process of approving a $4 fee for each dog over 4 months of age as a registration fee. Two plans were proposed. If the county provides full service to the city such as follow up on dog bites, facilities to house animals, picking up animals, etc., the county would collect the entire $4 fee. If the city wants to provide for its own animal control, the county would share the fee with the city. The county would expect to receive $150 which is what it got prior to the enactment of the $4 fee under the Illinois Animal Control Act. This is the charge for vaccinations. Dr. Johnson said that at the present time, the county has agreements with Crystal Lake, Woodstock, McHenry Shores and Lakemoor. Samples of various agreements were turned over to License committee chairman, James Wegener. He was instructed to study the J matter and report back at the next meeting with a recommendation. Bob Mortell, who is president of the McHenry Kiwanis club and is active in other civic organizations, addressed aldermen and presented his objections and complaints regarding recent ordinances passed by the Council. "How much research is done before ordinances are passed," Mortell asked. He was specifically referring to ordinances passed recently which stated playground equipment must be located at least eight feet from a lot line; another which stated tag days would be limited and only adults should solicit in business districts and a third which raised parking meter fines. Mortell asked the Council if the playground ordinance was acted upon because of one neighbor's complaint. "For every one set of neighbors who don't get along, there are one hundred who do," Mortell commented Alderman Pepping, who drew up the playground ordinance, told Mortell it was not based on just one party's complaint. He explained that the ordinance was created 10 insure people their privacy and it would be available if a situation should arise where it is needed. Commenting on the tag day ordinance, Mortell said that some organizations use children to solicit because of a man power shortage in their ranks. He said the Kiwanis didn't have enough men to cover the town for Peanut Day and some lumbers' children were used "We could not have a successful Peanut Day if we could not use children" Mortell pointed out. He also advised that $1,500 was collected for the Junior Youth league on their last tag day. Without that money, many children would not be able to participate in that program, Mortell said. He did feel that the Council should insist on close adult supervision. Alderman W'egner told Mortell that the city had received many requests from business places asking that something be done about tag days. The proposed ordinance was presented to the Chamber of Commerce and that group felt very strongly about the a p p r o v i n g t h e recommendation, Wegener said He also noted that instructions are given to tag day operators regarding adult supervision but they are not heeded. Alderman Datz commented that some organizations may be using the children as a crutch since it is easier to send the children out rather than have the adults go themselves. Regarding increased parking meter fines, Mortell understood that meters were sold to municipalities in the first place to keep a traffic turn over so people could find parking places. It was not to break even, he said. He felt merchants should have been asked their opinions and a study should have been enacted prior to adopting the change in fees. A report by Alderman Pepping, chairman of the Police committee, made the following recommendations. 1. the Finance committee should study the advisability of raising the $5 an hour rate which city police officers are reimbursed for outside services such as after hours police service to schools and businesses; 2. the Labor Relations committee should handle police grievance procedures as well as other city employee grievances. The grievance procedure will not apply to matters that by Statute must be handled by the Fire and Police Commision Board; 3. To improve communications, the Police committee will meet monthly and representative of the police force, police commission and other interested parties are welcome to attend and 4. Instead of establishing a fixed procedure providing for reimbursement for legal fees incurred by individuals who bring charges before the Police Commission board, tjie Police committee felt it would be better to examine and evaluate each situation on a case by case basis -- after the fact. "Individuals who engage legal counsel do so at their own risk without any assurance of reimbursement." The Police committee also suggested that the Council reconsider its decision to request bids on Ford vehicles only, which was made at the last meeting. "We feel that the practice of competitive LOCAL bidding should continue," the committee reporter stated. Therefore, Pepping moved that the Council rescind action taken at the last meeting regarding these Ford bids and that the Council revert back to accepting the lowest bid for two police squad cars as previously submitted. Alderman Howard seconded the motion. It passed unanimously. Alderman Harker of the Purchasing committee, remarked, "It doesn't matter to me if you buy Cadillacs or Volkwagens," He said the committee's only thought was to act in conformity with the recommendation of the Police Commission board which stressed uniformity of equipment. In other business, the Council approved the low bid of Buss Motor Sales to purchase a 1974 two-door, six cylinder Ford Maverick at $2,900 for use by the meter maid. Other bidders were: Sunnyside Dodge, $3,040; Lincoln Mercury, $3,183 and Mitchell Buick, $3,318. Approval was given to donate $200 to the Halloween kids party for the purpose of buying candy and gifts. Over 400 children attended the Halloween party held last year and kept them off the streets after dark, Alderman Pepping told Councilmen. It was also announced that a petition was received from Country Club Estates subdivision requesting city sewer service. It was turned over to the Sewer and Water committee for its recommendation. A resolution commending Sgt. Daniel Kinnerk of the McHenry Police department for his participation in helping apprehend the Richmond Bank robber last week was passed unanimously by the Council. Woman Treated For Minor Burns In Home Fire Mrs. Karen Johnson of 3713 Fillmore road, Claremont Hills, McHenry, was treated and released from McHenry hospital where she was taken by the Johnsburg Rescue squad following a fire at her home Tuesday morning. She was treated for minor smoke inhalation and a minor burn on her foot. Investigating officers learned that Mrs. Johnson discovered her cigarette lighter was missing and searching for it, she found a small fire burning in a bedroom closet. She believed her small children had started the fire by playing with the lighter. She attempted to extinguish the fire but could not do so. McHenry Fire company 2 was summoned and the blaze was put out. Oxygen was administered to Mrs. Johnson until the arrival of the rescue squad. A three car chain reaction accident Wednesday afternoon resulted in injuries to Marie M. Thomas of 811 W. Northeast Shore drive, McHenry. She was taken to McHenry hospital by the Wauconda Rescue squad. Ardith Frailey of 4117 Hickory Terrace, Crystal Lake, was east bound on Route 176 and had just crossed Burton's Bridge when she noticed two vehicles stopped in traffic in front of her. She applied her brakes but was unable to avoid hitting the rear of a car driven by Henry S. Nisbet, Jr., of 888 Waveland road, Lake Forest. Nisbet's auto was then forced into the rear of the Thomas auto which was stopped in front" of Nisbet.
