Animal release time is changed by fair board The McHenry County Fair board has modified release time for animals and general projects following a discussion at the monthly board meeting. The directors announced the additon of entertainer Tom T. Hall for evening entertaiment and approved improvements in electrical outlets in the grand­ stand area. Jack Hayes announced the McHenry County Fair is one of 13 county fairs to participate in the Mid-Western Illinois Racing Association, the largest colt association in the state. Sizable prize money will be offered to Illinois bred and foaled entrants in the pace and trot events Aug. 1-2. Captain Robert Crabtree achieved the arrangement for McHenry County Fair racing to become a part of this new association. A total of an estimated $22,000 will be offered in the four races which are part of this new program, Hayes, secretary for the fair's racing events said. That's far more than usually offered. Last year the board set an 8 p.m. release time for most livestock and certain other exhibits so that late afternoon and evening fair visitors could view the entries. Those responsible in hauling livestock headed for the market after the auction were caught in the traffic jam. As a result, several department heads met with 4-H officials to work out this time schedule of release on Sunday, Aug. 5, final day of the fair at Woodstock: 4 p.m., hogs and dairy cattle; 5 p.m. auction beef and sheep; 6 p.m., all other livestock and general projects for 4-H. The staggered schedule should lessen congestion, said Charles Weingart, fair president. FACTORY AUTHORIZED YOU SAVE 30% ON ALL NORWALK UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE INCLUDING SPECIAL ORDERS SALE ENDS MARCH 31, 1984 Assembly to act on "free" bus bill By Kurt Begalka Plaindealer news service A state bill providing free bus service for all school children in who live more than 1.5 miles from their schools will be introduced during the spring legislative session beginning March 27, said Sen. Adeline Geo- Karis (R., Evanston), co-sponsor of the bill. The proposal, which would take effect in 1985-86, expands the present law which requires transportation for non-public school students who live on or along regular bus routes. Program provisions include: -Free transportation for non-public pupils who live in a school district but at­ tend school in an adjoining district up to 10 miles from the pupil's home. -Free transportation for students to non-public school with an enrollment of at least 75 students. -Free transportation to adjoining districts if at least five students attend any one school. -Allowing districts to transport children to a central point in the district of residence and then transport them to the school in the adjoining district. -Free transportation wil not be provided to non-public pupils when public schools are not in operation. ScKool district officials acknowledged that many questions remain to be ham­ mered out in Springfield. Woody Mosgers, assistant press secretary for Gov. James Thompson, said he could not answer these questions, since the bill has not been drafted as yet. He acknowledged the bill could make for some heated debate and confuse an already confusing set of regulations. "The more I find out about school districts, the less I want to know," Mosgers said. Thompson proposed that an estimated $4 million in planning funds be targeted in 1985-86 to help school districts make the necessary preparations. Planning grants tentatively are based on $100 for each new non-public student to be transported ef­ fective September, 1985. The governor's office estimates 24,000 students will be served under the in- terdistrict requirement. Reimbursement will begin in fiscal year 1987. The governor vetoed similar legislation in Jan. 1981 and Sept. 1979, citing the state's tight budget and reductions in federal revenue sharing.
