The problem is the person who had a valid bank account and decided to write a couple of bad checks." Olson noted that the bad check is a severe problem, especially for the smaller merchant, who has to replace the item that left the store out of his profits. Olson said on the average a merchant's profit is four-cents on the dollar. "It takes a lot of sales to make up the cost of the item taken," Olson said. Olson commented that the three laws were an "excellent first step" but added that more was needed. The attorney said the association will be working to develop a set of criteria which state's attorneys can use to decide whether a case can be prosecuted. OF MOKE SCHOOL AID (Continued from page 1) grade and high schools here are operated by different boards, this extra money has no way of reaching the younger student, Farmer explained. In contrast to this advantage for grade schools through the unit district, Dr. Farmer said the system in operation in McHenry assures that elementary school children receive the entire attention of the administration rather than have that concentration divided. He added that it is possible the younger children could receive less attention in a unit system. Farmer said he hoped a larger budget might allow restoration of some of the program that had been cut. However, he agreed with President Gary Lockwood, who looked at this possibility glumly, explaining that he expects less state aid will be received. Prior to the discussion, PTO President Laura Bauer introduced Charlotte Sullivan, a volunteer parent who has been in charge of the art ap­ preciation program. She conducts half- hour sessions with each of the six grades once a month in an ex­ perimental project undertaken by the PTO. Dr. Farmer spoke of the Feb. 23 meeting of the Special Education District of McHenry County executive board and encouraged board members and interested parents to attend and learn how the group functions. A bus will be provided and further details announced at a later date. A program of self-evaluation for board members, teachers and students came up for discussion. To obtain direction, the board agreed to secure the services of the Illinois School Board Association to assist in the program. At the month's regular business meeting the board entered into af new agreement with the McHenry County Mental Health System. Tod'Powers, of the county mental health organization, presented the board with a new program to help school employees with a variety of personal problems. Powers explained that nine companies in the county, two government agencies, and one school district are presently involved in the program. He said these organizations use the program as a referral service to improve the lives of individual employees and thereby improve their performance as individuals. The program is designed to help employees with marital, alcohol, stress and other problems. The board made the decision to alter into the program on a trial, no-fee basis. It will decide after a trial basis, to end in July, whether to underwrite the program for its employees on a more formal basis. In personnel business, the board approved hiring Betty Thompson to fill a teaching vacancy at Edgebrook school for first grade. The vacancy, Dr. Farmer explained, was caused by a recent maternity leave. In other business, the board tentatively approved the per student dollar allotment for 1982-1983, so that the budgeting process for the individual buildings could proceed. That amount, which has remained unchanged since the 1978-1979 school year, is $29 per pupil in Kindergarten, $35 per pupil in grades 1-5, and $40 per pupil in grades 6- 8. Board member Eileen Zurblis asked the building principals present whether they could live on that amount. Don Toole, Parkland school principal, responded, "It's tough. We're really in need, particularly for textbooks." Bill Land is, business manager, added that the Illinois Textbook Loan money has been "the district's salvation" in recent years.

Patterson, Notary Public (Published Jan. 29, 1982) No. 820040 president Gary Lockwood, reported to the board on a possible solution to the problem of erosion and runoff from the hill adjoining Edgebrook school's playground. She reported that members- of Edgebrook s PTO had developed a plan for seeding, grading, and fencing the hill so that the problem might be solved and the area restored. Jim and Sandy Perdue and Lynn Bruce represented the Edgebrook PTO at the meeting and explained that the entire project would cost approximately $3,000 dollars, including chain link fencing across the front of the hill to reduce student access and thus erosion. They added that Williamson Nursery Company would also give trees to assist in beautifying the area. The project, was referred to the board finance committee for further study.

Executive director, Karen Pesce, stated that "the open house is an ex­ cellent opportunity for families to see the center, meet the staff and learn about the changes planned to ac­ commodate Day School students. All of us are most concerned that everyone feels comfortable with the change and is able to ask nu^tions about the continuation of the program. We hope this will make the transition easier." Funding problems are forcing the current Day School program at Pioneer Center to close and the board of directors at Easter Seal voted to retain the program as of March 1, 1982. The Day School, originally a day care center, was started in 1970 by the Pioneer Center which operates services for the McHenry County Association for the Retarded (MCAR). Students are profundly mentally handicapped and young adults between the ages of 3 and 21. New Challenges In Trade Fair Scheduled one month earlier this year, preparations for the ninth annual McHenry Area Commerce and In­ dustry Trade Fair present many new challenges to the committees who are working so diligently to prepare the finest show ever and add new con­ venience for 1982 guests. The dates are Feb. 26, 27 and 28.
