Battle Scene Trades TWfW •• Searchers Find Missing Child 'el pits police A search for a missing three juid-a- half year old girl began and ended last Friday when she was found safe. McHenry County Sheriffs police reported that the search in the S. Lily Lake road area started Friday morning and continued until about 4 p.m. Friday afternoon. Because of a number of gravel in the area, the county requested assistance in the search from area fine departments, 111. State police, McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster agency, etc. As it turned out, the young girl, who lives at 1105 S. Lily Lake road, McHenry, had been picked up by a neighbor for attendance at a pre­ school class. She was later found there by her father and returned home. It was originally believed that the pre­ school classes had been cancelled, but this was discovered to be not true.

MAY 18. 1983 \ CI 1 SECTION 22 PAGES 25' J It was refreshing to pick up a copy of the Chicago Tribune the other day and read a column by Andy Rooney devoted to mistakes of the media. Yes, someone else has admitted to making errors. Only those in the business could possibly realize how gratifying, it is to learn that no newspaper, no radio station, no television channel, is exempt. Un­ fortunately, the newspaper is in more trouble than the others because the ^StK SepWcklm t̂e Even when (he paper yellows with age, there it is glaring off the page. On radio pi< the impact is not > the minds of listeners and viewers. We had received previous reassurance that the biggies of the business also err through a piece of mail that arrived last week. Sent by the Reader's Digest, it was the monthly sample reprint of one of that issue's leading stories. The headline caught our eye because of a misspelled word. It was not just a glaring error, it was one of those words commonly misspelled becauara two words with entirely differentmeanings but similar spellings. ; So we read on and found that no leas than 15 times the word was repeated, each time spelled incorrectly for the use it was intended. These are the really embarrassing kind of mistakes. An 8-pt error that is obvious should be caught by the proof reader, but when it is not the mistake is understandable. Not so when THERE is used far THEIR, A for A|fc or one like the Reader's Digest made. Mr. Rooney, in wisdom gained through his many years as a reporter, observed the difficulty in writing a story everyone feels is fair. This Is because people do not always say what they think they say at meetings. And they don't always say what they mean. The writer puts on paper his ob­ servations. If he is a good reporter he refrains from editorial analysis; if he is not, it is the iiiif the editor to delete personal Jpjjftgs In a news • Either way, when any emit has been touched by several people, everyone who has attended is likely to .have assessed the happenings in a different way. Mr. Rooney also refers to another kind of error, like misinformation, • which can creep into a story and cause havoc. This, he reminds is what drives editors "crazy or into some other line of work". He continues by reflecting on the fact that if they just go crazy they usually stay in the newspaper business because it is more tolerant of that kind of thing.

Star key, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) district director for Northern Illinois, announced Monday that Donald H. Dool, of Crystal Lake, had pleaded guilty on two counts of failure to file income tax returns. Dool, 52, of 6809 Connecticut Trail, Crystal Lake, is president of Teletechnology International, Inc., 1701 Schroeder, McHenry. Information filed March 23, 1983, charged Dool with failure to file in­ come tax returns for the years 1976, 1977 and 1978. During those years, he is reported by the IRS to have received more than $87,000 in salaries from Teletechnology International. Dool pleaded guilty to the charges for the years 1976 and 1977. Federal District Judge Marvin \spen has set June 23 as the date for sentencing. The maximum sentence is one year imprisonment and-or a $10,000 fine on each count. Under the existing law, a person convicted of criminal tax offenses, in addition to whatever sentence may be imposed, also must pay the tax determined to be due and interest and civil penalties that may be assessed. The investigation was conducted by special agents of the Criminal In­ vestigation division.

Road contfaie--repair and traffic control--dominated discussion at Monday night's regular meeting of the McHenry City Council. McHenry Mayor Joseph Stanek sought authorization to apply for Federal Aid Urban (FAU) funds for the "intermittent resurfacing" of Bull Valley road, from Hilltop east to the river. Stanek said three other roads, Lillian, Green and John streets were deemed not to fit requirements for funding. The FAU program requires the city to come up with 25 percent of the construction costs, with the remaining 75 percent to come from federal funds channeled through the Illinois Department of Transportation. The mayor also commented that a decision, one way or the other, had to be made Monday night. Transportation officials had " that the city combine this with several that the City of Woodstock has ia the hopper to give the project a better chance of ap- and perhaps lower con- costs.

The letter in­ dicated there was ho change in the specifications, from 2.5 to 2.5. Smith charged that this "misin­ formation" led him to believe this was a scheme to raise the price.

A disproportionate number of students are presently enrolled at Parkland school while McHenry Junior high school's enrollment is going down, according to Supt. Richard Farmer. Figures are being projected and after the Fall enrollment, serious attention will be given to possible 1984- 85 boundary changes. - President Karen Salman em­ phasized that boundary changes are in the discussion stage and no decisions have been made. Dr. Farmer added, "It has always been the practice of the district to make transitions as convenient as possible for students and their families." Consideration is directed toward adopting boundaries corresponding with the District 156 high schools; that is, students in District 15 living west of Highway 31 would attend Parkland Junior high and West campus high school, and students living east of Highway 31 would attend Mcl ' school. This would lead to a transition for some Edgebrook students at the fifth grade level. Edgebrook boundaries currently include Cooney Heights residents, west of Highway 31. Valley View students would all attend Parkland, and Hilltop students, McHenry Junior high school. Currently, Parkland Junior high school serves students at the east and west sides of the district while McHenry Junior high covers a corridof running through the center of the district. Enrollment in 1982-83 showed 573 students at Parkland and 352 at McHenry Junior high. By bisecting the district, a better balance would be achieved, according to preliminary studies. In other business, the board members awarded contracts for bread, milk and ice cream for 1983-84. A grand finale of good news was summed up in reports by principals of District 15's six schools. Parental involvement, particularly, received high grades. At Landmark, Asst. Supt. Dan DeRoche announced a Bambi musical program May 25 culminating an animal study unit which included a trip to the Milwaukee Zoo. He com­ mended parent classroom volunteers, and also Parent Teachers' association fund raising efforts which brought a Peter Rabbit puppet show per­ formance to area children. The fund will provide for other similar projects next year, he said. He also noted videotaping in the classrooms as a stimulating experience this year. brook, Principal Jim gave top billing to after school, PTO-sponsored enrichment programs with 405 students registered in two different sequences of mini- courses.
