ECONOMY THRUST CONTINUES AT JOHNSBURG (Continued from pagel) duplication in any and all areas. The board actions demon­ strated its intention of making an attitude of frugality part of its philosophy, and seeking accountability. It was brought to the at­ tention of the board by Dr. Andreas and Pat Bingman, middle school principal, that the Fox Lake library district would like in the very near future to annex unserved areas to the west of them, which would include the Johnsburg community and adjoining areas. The Fox Lake Library annexation committee hopes to bring this proposal to a vote the first week in December. ;Pat Bingman, who attended the Fox Lake meeting, and has looked into other possibilities, asked the board to give an opinion on this community matter as they thought it might relate to the school. The consensus of the board was that the community is being given very short notice on a project that would possibly not serve its needs as well as a more localized library could. Members referred to a 1975 feasibility study which proposed using district facilities for the operation of a library. Dr. Andreas mentioned that there is a . healthy sum available in grants for un­ served areas simply because there are so few locations which do not have the services of a libary, and that the tax cost of annexing to Fox Lake would be the same as the cost to the taxpayer of maintaining the district's own library. Though it could be difficult to avoid being voted in if the public is not aware of the options, all present felt that more time was needed. Mike DeWolfe, pupil per­ sonnel services coordinator, reported on the question of districts delinquent in their payments of SEDOM tuition. At the board's suggestion, DeWolf reported Johnsburg's disap­ proval of wiping out a $50,000 contingency to help fill up the deficit created by late-paying districts. DeWolf was in- • terested to note that at the well attended meeting, there were few dissenters from the opinion that some pressure should be ^placed upon, school districts -causing the problem, and that there could be a vote in the spring making a surcharge for >late payment legal. DeWolfe said that frequently SEDOM board members will not know if their own district has paid on time without looking into the question. Another school board member suggested that perhaps publicizing the names of the offending districts might provide the required pressure. NO STRIKE SETTLEMENT (Continued from page 1) Ms. Shanholtzer also claimed that teachers have no right to break the law or their contract and pointed out their role as image makers for children. "You're the ones we tell children to listen to when learning about courts and government," she explained. Sue Olson defended the teachers' right to strike, noting that tlje board leverage was the existing contract and, the teachers union's only leverage was the strike and asserted that teachers do not want to go on strike. She also felt the board should extend the school days to make up the time lost. Ms. Olson commented on the various other issues and noted that the board views on them are not given. She suggested the board needed better publicity and wondered about their hangup on not releasing statements. About negotiations, she said the teachers had a union person as an advisor and believed that the board.should have its at­ torney in that capacity instead of being the main negotiator. She asked how the community would be notified when the schools are back in session. Dr. Farmer said that notices would be given over area radio stations and through com­ munity telephone chains. Ed Bainter posed a number of questions to the board which Gary Lockwood, chairman of the negotiations committee sought to answer. Why weren't negotiations scheduled earlier, say in June? About the no strike provisions, was there an ex­ piration date in the contract or exceptions? Has any court action to end the strike been considered and when might the strike end? He also said the community seemed concerned that because the attorney was negotiating for the board at $75 per hour there might be an interest in prolonging the process. Lockwood said that either side can demand the negotiations begin and the teachers did ask for a reopening about the middle of May. There is no expiration date in this present contract which is supposed to continue until a new one is negotiated. There was no written demand to terminate as of July 1 which is provided for in the contract. The board contemplates no court action to end the strike and there is no end in sight at this time. Lockwood said the rate paid to Eisenhammer's law firm Robbins, Schwartz * Nicholas and Lifton is $65 per hour and that the attorney had worked with the district for the past four years and the board had complete faith in him. Bainter reiterated that he still thought the hourly rate was a problem. Carol Dombrowski noted that the federal mediator is scheduled to go on vacation and wondered about the continuity of the negotiations if not settled before that time. She also asked if the board would consider calling a representative from the Illinois Office of Education, as the teachers suggested, if settlement was not reached. Lockwood admitted that the present mediator was supposed to go on vacation, but said he would be replaced by another from the conciliation service. The board was not pleased with the suggestion of an IOE person since the present contract calls for a federal mediator. Judy Hamilton, MCTA president, acknowledged that the association would accept the services of the IOE. Ruth Beardsley charged that the $65 per hour was an in­ centive to stall the proceedings. She said if a flat fee were in­ volved, the attorney would say, "Come on boys, get this over with." (to the cheers of the audience). Eisenhammer responded by noting that his firm served over 100 Illinois school boards and negotiated for 40 of them, all of whom were pleased with the service. He protested that he personally doesn't profit from the fees as he is on salary. Mrs. Beardsley said she didn't blame the attorney but the school board for the situation. Mrs. Beardsley also asked why the janitors, aids and administrators got 10 percent salary increases while the teachers are offered less. Lockwood said that all ad­ ministrators did not get 10 percent and the other em­ ployees were at or near the minimum wage scale. He also claimed that the proposed 6.75 percent was not the board's final offer. Ms. Beardsley declared, "Why not settle this (pay) first and all the rest will fall in place?" She also asked why the school board is not paid for a difficult job like other govern­ ment bodies are and maybe they could get a conscientious board that could get the strike settled on time.

Located on Route 134 At Regner Road, Two Miles West of Route 12 Manager Dan Ross 312 223-9282 / himself as a parent and also a teacher in another school district, said the board's position on increases had never been clarified and wondered how the teachers could do their best job with a 6.75 percent increase compared with the 10 percent for others. He also questioned the proposed cut­ back in programs and asked how they expected the teachers to do a job for the students under those conditions. ^ Goodson asked why other groups are not alloweald Help in the bargaining as he wanted the kids back in school so they can learn. Andfinally, he asked why is the board one member short? Lockwood explained the reason that the board does not go to public meetings for negotiations is that the position of each side would get more inflexible as it was revealed and statements made would have to be defended and the problem of face saving would enter into settlements. For this reason bargaining is not c a r r i e d o n i n p u b l i c a n d statements and demands are known only to the participants and. can be abandoned if cir­ cumstances indicate. The board vacancy is due to the resignation of Willis Martin on Aug. 17, Lockwood said, and by law they have 30 days to replace him. Applications are being reviewed now. Goodson also questioned the board line of the teachers of not being rewarded for staying out because as a parent he felt he was being sold short. Jill Olszewski, who said she represented a parent group, presented three petitions containing 335 signatures resulting from community talks with the MCTA. She said, these petitions asked the board to resume meaningful negotiations with the teachers at once and work out an agreement with the whole board present. Denise Morjal of Brittany Park, who had earlier helped organize a demonstration of children to end the strike, urged unity as the only way to resolve the situation. She deplored the way the com­ munity was split and wanted the negotiations to be com­ pleted "if we have to lock you all in the room until you do." An executive session by the board reviewed its position on negotiations and indicated following the meeting that it was unchanged, but subject to bargaining. Negotiations are scheduled to. resume at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday and the board indicated willingness to stay at the table until an agreement is reached. * * * * This is the time of year when it really pays to ad­ vertise.

Farm Bureau members have reiterated their position in support of the implementation of-a land use plan and the adoption Of the new com­ prehensive zoning ordinance in McHenry county. At the sixty-seventh annual meeting this week, attended by a recent record crowd of more than 525 farm men and women, members supported a resolution proposal by the resolutions committee to up­ date the county zoning or­ dinance which has been in effect since 1946. In making the presentation for the committee, Elmer Hill, Union farmer who is chairman, said "We believe the best way to effect changes in county zoning is by local government, not by the state government. We also support the Agriculture district bill which awaits Governor Jim Thompson's signature." That bill would permit far­ mers on adjacent farms to put together 500 acres or more for a specific number of years and place it in an agriculture district for that period. Farm Bureau members support the concept of a county land use plan; , in . the resolution's committee report which reflected views given by members in answer to a questionnaire sent early this summer to all farmers, m e m b e r s s a i d t h e y a r e discouraged by the lack of quick adoption of a county land use plan and urge development of a statewide land use plan. In other resolutions members urged development of an energy program in this country which includes intensified research using sun, wind and Illinois coal as energy sources, and they want the Illinois Agricultural association to "do everything in its power" to get McHenry county out of the RTA. In the election, Hill an­ nounced four new directors have been elected to the 17- member board. One member is elected from each township. New directors include Clarence Aavang, Grafton township; Thomas Lillegard, Nunda township; Robert Berschet, Riley township; and Roger Sass, Seneca township. Retiring directors are William Ruth, Grafton, and Roger Volkening, Riley, both two-year board members; and Clarence Adams, Nunda, and Henry Boi, Seneca, both eight-year board members. Adams and Boi were recognized for their service on the board for four terms, maximum allowed under McHenry County Farm Bureau by-laws. Four directors were reelected, Don Luerssen, Alden; William Olbrich, Dunham; Charles Beard, Greenwood; and David Gard- ner, Richmond. Two School Buses Involved In Collisions This Week Legal Notice NOTICE OF JUDICIAL SALE STATE OF ILLINOIS ) SS: Two school buses were in­ volved in collisions in the last three days which left no one seriously injured. In Wonder Lake, a Special Education District of McHenry (SEDOM) school bus was hit and rolled over on its side as it entered the intersection of Ramble road and Lake Vista lane at about 7:15 a.m. Wed­ nesday in Wonder Lake. Clarice DeGelder of Wonder Lake was the driver of the bus. The Sheriff's police said that about seven children were on thebus and were transported to McHenry and Memorial hospitals where they were all treated and released. The driver of the car was Angela Rittenhouse, also of Wonder Lake. No citations have been issued and the in­ vestigation into the incident is continuing, according to the Sheriff's police. At about the same time on Thursday morning, near Fox Lake, another school bus was involved in a collision with two cars, one mile west of Fairfield. Four children were on the bus, according to the Illinois State police, but no injuries were reported. No further information was available at press time. A McHenry man was ticketed for driving while intoxicated and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after a two- car collision at the intersection of Elm street and Industrial drive. Jack E. Otlewis, of 1614 N. Park street, McHenry, told McHenry police that the other car had cut in front of him and stopped at the intersection.

Bodam, of 1406 Beach, McHenry, said he was at a full stop at the intersection when his car was hit in the rear. When a semi made a wide turn into* Dayton court off of Route 31, David D.
