MEDICAL CENTER TOP GOAL OF CITY LEADERS (Continued from pago 1) provement of Boone creek," Stanek said. The mayor also exptes&ed a desire to see the construction of a building in Petersen park. The building, as he envisioned it, would provide restrooms, concessions, storage, park offices and meeting rooms. "This improvement would require phased development," he com­ mented. Stanek also said Pearl street park was scheduled for improvement in 1983, including the tentative recon­ struction of the tennis courts and improved lighting in the park. "I would also hope that with the new federal gas tax, roads would be upgraded and FAP 420 will either be constructed or a viable alternative be developed," Stanek said. "Finally, it is my hope that the people elected to serve McHenry will be people of good will and good judgment." Covalt, who takes office in January, said the various committees of the Chamber of Commerce would be developing goals and objectives for the upcoming year within their respective specialties. "The new Economic Development Commission is looking for orderly growth in McHenry and I would like to see more industrial growth here," Covalt noted. "I am concerned about the membership and 1 would like to get the members active in Chamber projects." VOTE DOWN PAY RAISES FOR VILLAGE OFFICIALS (Continued from pago I) we'll get from the county or federal government." Mrs. Vanderwiel charged the proponents are greedy and unwilling to compromise. "Instead of backing off on it (the proposal), they're trying to push it through." Andrea said it is a "matter of principle," accusing Mrs. Vanderwiel and Kuziel of not considering the best interests of the village. "They would reject it if it was a dollar," he added. Andrea told the board, "I'm very disappointed. I think it's something that's badly needed to attract the people of the right caliber." Mrs. Vanderwiel disagrees. "What's wrong with asking the people who run this village to be a little kind-hearted and generous?" she asked. She pointed out the efforts of Larry Reinhard, director of general affairs, in developing Jacobson park. " Money never attracted me to work for the village," Reinhard said. "I guess I'm kind of non-committal about (the raise)." The ordinances would have raised the clerk's salary from $70 to $140 per month and doubled the treasurer's salary to $80 per month and Reinhard's to $40 per Month. Building Commissioner Jack Crawford was slated for a $60-per-month raise and trustees an additional $10 per meeting, which would have brought their salaries up to $40 a month. Mrs. Zeman, who adamantly supported the raise, pledged to "bring the question up at every meeting now until April." She and Andrea both oppose a compromise increase, though Mrs. Vanderwiel and Kuziel said they might change their minds if one were presented. Andrea said he might propose splitting up the plan so increases could be voted on separately. The raises were to take effect May 1, after the April election. Mrs. Zeman said eight petitions are out for six open seats on the board. McLaughlin and Matthei are seeking to retain their seats following their appointment to the board in May. Kuziel said he, too, probably would run. Andrea is stepping down to run for trustee. He said the president's job is loo time-consuming. Mrs. Zeman hopes to fill his seat. She has served as village Clerk, for nearly three years. Candidate filing dates are Jan. 24- 31. SET SENIORS BAILMENT OPTIMISM (Continuod from pago 1) would raise a projected $75,000 for programming to be administered by the council. But the council board of directors would include representatives from the county, municipalities and townships. According to the proposed funding formula for programming, municipalities would pay $2.70 for each senior residing in cities and villages. To offset the cost of municipal senior centers, townships would pay $1.10 for each senior within municipal boundaries, plus $2.70 for each of the remaining seniors in the county. Witt an estimated 2,361 seniors, McHenry's share was estimated at $6,374 while Woodstock's would have been $6,191 for 2,293 seniors. McHenry Mayor Joseph Stanek said his council agreed to go along with the plan provided that the county goal of 80 percent participation was met. He added the councilmen generally felt there is a need to continue with the senior council's programs and that the county offer to buy a central facility is an attractive one. The story was different in Wood­ stock. In addition to the cost of the proposed building, councilmen here were concerned about future cqgts for maintenance and they generally were of the opinion that the building plan would be inappropriate and of little benefit to seniors in Woodstock. PAGE 13 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, DECEMBER 31,1982 Mrs. Santa Remembers, r Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus have returned to their home in the North Pole, but the friendships made in McHenry remain. This was evidenced by a letter received from Mrs. Santa Claus addressed to two youngsters who reversed the procedure and gave Mrs. Claus a gift. "Dear Kristy and Katy: "Now that Santa and I nave returned from our visits and are having a chance to settle down, I shall take a moment to write to you. "It has been a busy year for Santa and myself so I'm a little late in telling you how much I uke your loving gift to me. I do hope you'll forgive the delay. "After such a hectic season it was an extra joy and comfort to relax in a warm tub and take advantage of your gift. "Each year Santa's and my trip becomes busier and busier, or so it seems. There are more boys and girls to visit and more places to go. One of the nicest places we visit is McHenry, where we find boys and girls like you who have loving hearts and thoughts for others. "That, Kristin and Kathy, is the true spirit of Christmas and it warms me all over to know that you have that spirit in your hearts. Please don't ever lose it. "Loving and giving of one's self are what truly make each person beautiful. "My love to you and all the children.

Throughout the hospital there will be small rooms where doctors and nurses can speak privately with family members concerning the condition of loved ones and where family members may be counseled by their pastor. The new chapel will be furnished, for the most part, by memorials given by the public. Area churches will soon be distributing information concerning the construction of a new hospital to be named the Northern Illinois Medical center. Participating churches have been asked to distribute this information either Jan. 9, or Jan. 16. DEATHS EDITH ZIOLKOWSKI Edith "Penny" Ziolkowski, 1411 W.

These machines are more than a casual hobby. They are part of our lives. "Students are going to have to be able to understand computers," said Dr. Duane Andreas, District 12 superintendent. "This is where the market is." Dr. Andreas predicted a 20 percent growth rate in the computer field in the next four or five years. It is the electronic age and the Johnsburg school district has no intention of becoming outdated. The central administrative office has its own computer for payroll, grading, attendance and scheduling. "Every year fur 10 years, I had to make up schedules by hand," said James Van Bosch, principal of Johnsburg Junior high school. It took him about a month to schedule 610 students and another three or four weeks for typing. Although the computer arrival too late this year for fall scheduling, Van Bosch is convinced it will pay for itself in no time at all. In November, a plan was developed to teach junior high students about computers. Operating procedures, history and future impact, types and familiarization with computer terms are stressed. A computer club was formed and meets once a week. Mike Heger, social studies coor­ dinator and club advisor, said he, too, is "kind of turned on" by the new machines. Students do a variety of things, including crossword puzzles, video games and tests. Heger, the resident expert on computers, taught at the junior high for 10 years. Now he is teaching teachers to use this new electronic tool in the classroom. Computers never will replace humans, he says, v just make their jobs easier. Doug Webell, 11, believes com­ puters increase his understanding. He is studying graphs of earthquakes. "It is more fun than talking with a Legal Notice Village of McCullom Lake Residents: T h e T r e a s u r e r s Report ending for the Fiscal Year ending March 31, 1982 is available for inspection at the Clerk's office during hours.

All applicants must be submitted in writing to the McHenry County Public Safety Chair­ man, McHenry County Court House, 2200 S e m i n a r y A v e . , Woodstock, 111., 60098. Attest * Daniel M. Schmitt, Secretary, McHenry Township Fire Prof. District (Pub. Dec. 31,1982) No. 820542 teacher," said Rob Rich, 13. "You can do it yourself." Ron Szat said computers challenge him at his level. "You can go at your own pace and don't have to rush." With 21 new computers at John­ sburg high school, the board of education has spent about $125,000, Andreas said. "We felt it was a necessity." High school Principal Robert Gough is excited about the program. Although the school has offered computer classes for five years, students now have more terminals and hands-on experience. According to Roger Zawacki, high school computer teacher, computer time has increased from 10 percent to 60 per­ cent this year, with the remainder for classroom lecture and study. Students are equally enthusiastic. Since enrollment has been limited to 22 students, there is a long waiting list. Tom Huemann, 18, said computers help him with physics and chemistry. He also e.ijoys various games like Spanish and French hangman, and Three Mile Island. In the latter, players must make repairs before the plant blows up. "There's always something new," he said. Huemann has a computer at home and is using his experience to help other students. He plans on attending college next year and studying electrical engineering. He wants to build computers. Added teacher's aide Jennifer Jarvis, "Computers simulate things that you wouldn't be able to visualize in the classroom." Computers also benefit teachers, Gough commented. With larger classrooms, it allows them flexabiiity in testing, more lab time and a per­ manent record. Information is stored on a disk rather than bulky foliers stuffed with paper. District 12 is in the process of developing a step-by-step computer curriculum, building from elemen­ tary school through high school. Elementary schools have five com­ puters. Third, fourth and fifth grade students are learning to operate the keyboard and do school work on the machines. Kim Perkins, principal of Ringwood and Middle schools, adds that first graders will be exposed to keyboards in the near future. Simply learning how to turn it on and off is a positive step, he said. By the time students reach high school, they'll be ready for programming. This year, students wishing advanced computer business training can go to Lake County Area Vocational Center for two-and-a-half hours a day. Johnsburg High School handles the engineering aspect. Adult night classes will be starting after Christmas, Andreas says. They will meet once a week and provide participants with eight hours of«® programming time. "Every student is going to have to be computer literate in the future," Gough said. "That's where the jobs are. They (students) could study without it but having computer literacy will really give them an advantage in life." investigate Three Minor Incidents A 28-year-old McHenry man was taken into custody by McHenry police following a family dispute at 1809 Sunset, McHenry.
