Every now and then readers a^t about the old bandstand thai occupied the center of thp Pearl street park for so many years. Until recently, no picture could be found. This postcard Is the possession of Earl "Marty" Conway, who found It among his extensive collection. The old bandstand stood for many years, serving musicians. polllicans making speeches, for Memorial day services, and as a structure on which local youngsters enjoyed climbing. Promoted by the late Paul Yanda. hand director at MCHS, the present mere modern band shell replaced the old stand In IMS. Houses along the south side of Pearl street can be seen In the background. United Way Allocations Increase United Ways in the northwest suburban area, who are members of the United Way of Suburban Chicago, will receive $2,171,000 duping^flscal 1963, a 6.4 percent increase over current year. The allocation for the year begin­ ning July 1 was announced last week by the United Way of Suburban Chicago. The 13 United Ways in Zone 111, covering the northwest suburbs, provide support to 65 human care agencies. "Our United Ways will be able to provide increased services to area residents because of the increased allocation, but requests always exeed the available resources, and some difficult decisions will have to be made," said Kris Howard of In­ verness, chairman of Zone III Finance and Allocations committee which represents northwest Cook county, McHenry county, and the northern part of Kane county. "The decisions are particularly difficult ih a year like this when many agencies are under stress due to budget cuts and an increased demand for services," Howard added. The 92 United Ways in the United Way of suburban Chicago cover 900 communities in suburban Cook, DuPage, McHenry and parts erf Kane, Lake (IL) and Will counties. They are divided in five zones for ad­ ministrative and allocations purposes and provide funds to a total of 245 suburban agencies. Under the United Way of Suburban Chicago allocations procedures, agencies seeking funding submitted ^their request in February to one or lore United Ways in the area where /they provide services. The United Ways, after considering the agencies' requests and deter­ mining what they would like to allocate after weighing local needs, presented their requests to one of Ave Zone Finance and Allocations com­ mittees. Presentations to the com­ mittees throughout the six-county area were completed two weeks ago. The zone committees then begin the task of reexamining and reevaluating the request from the individual United Ways in order to determine the final. amount for each, which was presented to the board of directors of the United Way of Suburban Chicago May 25. Now that these allocation were approved, the United Way* will, in turn, determine their allocations to agencies to become effective July 1 and paid in monthly installments throughout the fiscal year. Though McHenry county joined with the United Way of Suburban Chicago last year, this marks the first time they will receive an allocation for the agencies they support. The United Way of Suburban- Chicago allocated more than 1.7 million to Zone III agencies in fiscal 1961. The primary function of the United Way of Suburban Chicago is to ad­ minister the distribution of funds raised in the United Way-Crusade of Mercy campaign to its member United Ways, based on an assessment of community needs.

Up con- by Kurt Begalka Shaw Media News Service Former McHenry County College Trustee Robert Weidner's request last month far $2,004 has stirred tip troversy Weidner's request is the first of its kind to come before the board. It is based on a college statute which allows trustees to be "reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with their service as members." A reluctance on the part of some board members to pay the money has Weidner claiming discrimination. In a telephone interview last week, Weidner alleged that a "college- owned vehicle went into the Coventry (Crystal Lake subdivision) area, picked up board members at their home and delivered them to the meeting. After the meeting they were taken back home." In a letter to the board, Jt§ also hinted at apathy on the part of staff and their refusal in sacrificing per­ sonal gains for the good of the college. He wrote * "I felt... at the time that MCC was a struggling young institution that needed all the help it could get. Looking back I guess that I was probably a little naive because that fact didn't seem to be much concern to college employees...." MCC President Robert Bartlett said he was "totally unaware" of any coll^gp car shuttling trust ses to and from their homes since he has been at the college. Bartlett joined MCC in 1973, serving first as dean of in­ struction, then as president since 1979. Regarding staff relations Bartlett said, "There has always been a good mutual feeling between the staff and the board." He believes what taw little problems there were in the pest have long since been resolved. Chairman Barbara Kropp has served on the board since 1972. She said the allegation concerning a college car is "abeohitely untrue." She added when she worked for the 1975 referendum, a i own car to pick Kropp up at lately in em Ryan already has pledged to vote against reimbursement. He views it as an inexcusable reverse in position on the part of Weidner. "During the (election) campaign, he saitt repeatedly it was an honorary position,'; Ryan said. v Weidner refused to Comment. "There is no way I can respond because I'm not sure of what he's saying," he said. Weidner added that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but different interpretations of his remarks have caused confusion. There is a communication problem. "No one has done me the honor of talking to me," he said. "All they (board members) are doing is raising a big stink." Weidner said he may attend the next board meeting on June 24 to present his case. Concerning staff relations, Ryan took a positive view. He said despite some "tension points" concerning salary negotiations and the strike a few years ago, the board and MCC employees get along well. "I've had a good relationship with the faculty. I treat than with respect," Ryan said. , Lutter stated a different view. In his opinion, Weidner is telling it like it is. "When an employee went some place they got paid for it," he said. "What is the difference between an employee and a board member?" He said he believes the case in favor of trustees is actually stronger, since it is backed by a statute passed by the legislature. "AH you have to do is read the statute. It's something we (board members) can't make a decision on. "If you don't like it, you lobby in an attempt to have it reversed. In this case it says he shall be paid. It's quite clear, I think.'; Move Offices Of Seniors by Angela Burden A unanimous decision of the McHenry County Senior Citizens Council directors was made recently to move the council's executive offices from Woodstock to Crystal Lake. The executive office will move from its Newell street headquarters to the Crystal Lake Senior Citizen Walk-In Center on Illin&is street. The move will result in "substantial savings," Executive Director Dan Malone said. He emphasized the move will not affect senior citizens ims in Woodstock. will be no change in the program," Malone said. He said the Woodstock seniors' Waft-In Center at Wakkn Oaks will remain in operation and only the council's administrative offices would be making a move. Malone said ths informational and outreach programs still will be B county board resulted in the appointment by McHenry County Board Chairman Ronald Morris of a special county board task committee, headed by Ed Buss, to study the council's needs and learn if area townships ancPmi be supportive. municipalities would 'He's completely In error when it comes to that. Completely," Kropp said. She added that relations betweeu the board and faculty are healthy. "The board is very appreciative that the staff stuck through hardar times." Trusteee William Ryan and Herbeit Lutter said they were not aware of any college-owned car being tsied to shuttle board members to and from meetings. Ryan addad that even If It actually did happen once, "I'm sure the person picked up would pay the 91 cab fare rather than have the epilogs pay out 12,004." Ryan believes to pay Wafrlnsr might begin an irreversible precedent. "It would open up a tremendous bookkeeping nightmare," he said. provided senior dtisana, but through the administrative officee in Crystal Lais Instead of Woodtfock.

Tne Crystal Lake Walk-In center Has been the focus of recent attention stance ths was to meet ito quarterly payment for the pramtess at the end of 1991. With hopes to "bail out" the council, Crystal Lake Mayor Carl Wehda went before an executive meeting of the Mcllanry county heard last month with a proposal to aid the arganlaarton. Wehde suggeeted a county- •Moihd program to help fund the senior dttaeoe facility in Crystal Lake, which houaaa the council's centred kitchen for the countywide Meet * Eat program. The meeting with Wehde and the Buss said the county board's special committee is attempting to find out If the township supervisors and area municipalities will support the senior citizens council program. "If the township supervisors and municipal officials are supportive, the county will be, too," Buss said. "Ths township and municipal officials are closer to the situation than we are." He said the county won't participate in supporting the senior citizen facility .if the townships and municipalities don't give their nfport He added the decision to change the location of the council's administrative offices was "an intelligent move."
