\ PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 7,1181 JOHNSBURG DISTRICT DENIES UTILITY 12 OKAYS BALANCED BUDGET / (Continued from page 1) agenda for upcoming meetings be made accessible to the teachers so they might be kept informed as to the ac­ tivities of the school district. An avenue of communication between the board and the teachers was hoped for by this procedure. Clemens said the association agenda was available to the board. The board accepted the request and the agenda will be posted before each meeting. A request from the Special Education District (SEDOM) was reviewed. A questionnaire from SEDOM asked for information about the transportation of students. The board felt the information requested did not fully clarify their position. Supt. Andreas addressed a cover letter to the SEDOM board asking for more information. Pat Bingham reported bids had been let for the Building Trades house. All low bids were accepted: Picasso >Concrete company, $7,135; Wickes Lumber, $23,518.21; and Don Sompel (excavation), $1,995. A report from Kim Perkins regarding enrollment stated that the best possible situation indicated zero growth over the next five years could be ex­ pected. Dr. Andreas noted that the enrollment for the 1981-82 school year is within six students of the enrollment shown four years ago. The board adopted an attendance policy which states all students are required to take five courses plus physical education. The school day extends from 7:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. All students are required to be in at­ tendance the full day, the board said. Possibly exceptions to the rule would include a junior or senior who has a study naii the iast hour of the aay. i nis student, with parental approval, could be extended a waiver. Seniors who have a first hour study hall may, under special circumstances, arrive at 8:15 a.m. instead of 7:25 a.m. The principal would evaluate the circumstances and inform the student of the decision. Adoption of board policy on graduation stipulates the following ' requirement: the Class of 1981 and thereafter will require 20 units of credit plus physical education each year in attendance. The board will consider graduation in three-and-a-half years under special circumstances. The usual criteria for early graduation are cases of extreme personal hardship. As a regular policy, students must attend Johnsburg high school for four years. Students not meeting math or reading requirements will not participate in the graduation ceremony. REQUEST (Continued from page 1) tiguous to the Decker property, south of McHenry. A request from the McHenry Com­ munity High School District 156 to use the pity garage as a site for the con­ struction of six Homecoming floats was approved after some discussion. Alderman Datz cast the sole dissenting vote, citing possible fire hazards as his reason for the objection. On a motion from Alderman Smith, the council also decided to resume snowplowing (at the same rates) of areas near St. Patrick's church and Country Club drive which are outside the city limits. Last year, the council decided to suspend this service. The move came at the request of residents living in the affected areas. In response to a question from Alderman Elizabeth Nolan, Mayor Stanek reported that the dredging of Boone creek had resumed and should be about half completed by the end of the week. Parks and Recreation Director Peter Merkel reported that the state in­ spection of the Knox park development went well. The inspection is required in order to receive the $200,000 reim­ bursement grant. The council voted to make a formal objection to a Chicago and North Western plan to take the ticket agent out of the McHenry station. Council members said the move would create an inconvenience for the riders in McHenry. The council also took action to renew the Workman's Condensation in­ surance policy at a premmrn of $37,272. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' , (Continued from page 1) naa iutaicu iictc, cntMcii Uy iiic Legislature over Crystal Lake, Half Day, Ft. Hill and Independence Grove (now Libertyville). But in 1838-39 the county was divided into two parts, the new county being called Lake. Although local residents thought they could retain the county seat, people to the west began to grumble because it was so far to one side, and the dissatisfaction resulted in the Legislature passing an act authorizing voters to select a new county seat. The rest is history, with Centerville (later to be known as Woodstock) winning the majority of the votes in 1844. No wonder the rivalry between McHenry and Woodstock athletic teams came to pass McHenry had reason to resent this early loss. And no wonder Crystal Lake has been a driving force to be the home of college, hospital and anything else without headquarters in recent years. It has only been trying to establish the leadership that passed . it by in the good old days. K A F TWO PEOPLE HURT IN CRASH (Continued from page I) too fast for conditions following a car- pedestrian accident on Meadow Lane in McHenry. * The McHenry Rescue squad took James R. Funk, of 1906 North Ave., McHenry, to the hospital for examination and treatment of injuries. Kuhns told McHenry police he was driving north on Meadow when a child waked into the roadway.

Hohol, of 8850 Kasson, Harvard, was responding to an emergency police call, heading east on Elm St. in McHenry, when his car left the roadway and struck the standard. Hohol said that as he checked traffic to his left, the car pulled to the right and left the road. The police report noted a large amount of rain water that had ac­ cumulated on the roadway and a wit­ ness said the squad was not traveling at a high rate of speed. Mark W. Barchard, of 3104 W. Bull Valley Road, McHenry, was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident following a two-car collision at the intersection of Front and John streets Oct. 1.

This year's theme is "4-H Pathways to the Future" and McHenry county's 1,200 4- H'ers are finding their futures by: - Learning skills by participating in projects. Over three dozen projects are available to 4-H'ers. Among the most popular are photography, baking, and animal care. - Participating in club activities. Many of the 42 4-H clubs in McHenry county work together on special ac­ tivities including nutrition, con­ servation and energy. - Learning about and serving their communities by organizing senior citizen programs, candidate nights, and recycling projects. This unique program gives youths ages 6-18 A-,ggdct variety of learning experiences in the subjects of animals, communication, arts and crafts, economics and business, home economics, mechanical sciences and energy, natural resources and en­ vironment, plants and soils. In addition, it gives them opportunities for building self-confidence, making friends, and developing leadership skills and community awareness. Adults play many important roles in 4-H. Leaders help their club members choose which of the dozens of projects suit their interest and goals. By helping members learn new skills, leaders learn too, both about the skill and about themselves. People who don't have time to lead a club can also support 4-H. they can give special workshops, help judge 4-H contests and fairs and donate their time and talents.
