Althoff of McHenry, a member of the Board of Governors of State Colleges and Universities (BOG) and the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE), recently traveled to Springfield to review Governor James Thompson's budget for higher education. The budget calls for an in­ crease of 9.2 percent to the BOG system in Fiscal Year 1986. This would mean an increase of $14,072,900 for the five univer­ sities in the BOG system, for a total allocation of $167,165,400. Althoff voted to approve the budget allocations. Final ap­ proval, however, rests with the General Assembly and ultimately with Thompson. "Having been a member of the BOG since 1979,1 can tell you that the increased funds being recommended by the governor and the IBHE are indeed essential," stated Althoff. "If the General Assembly approves the FY86 budget at the gover­ nor's level, quality education can be maintained at an af­ fordable price." The budget allocations call for funding increases at the following universities: Chicago State University, Eastern Illinois * University, Governors State University, Northeastern Illinois University and Western Illinois University. Recom­ mendations are for increased revenue for salary increases for faculty and staff, some general cost increases and academic programs and institutional support. Approximately 44,600 students are included in the BOG system. By Joe King Health officials have braced for new reports of salmonella ten­ tatively blamed on contaminated milk, although they say the worst may be over, with more than 500 cases reported. while the intestinal ailment is rarely fatal, one health official said it may make "you wish you were dead." t : • ' Chet June, Illinois Public Health Department spokesman, said earlier this week that 543 cases had been reported in Illinois and Iowa, with almost 300 confirmed. For every reported case, he said, there were probably 35 to 40 people who suffer some symptoms of the infection. * "We expect it to skyrocket, probably into the thousands," said June. But he noted that some people with minor symptoms may never report the illness. The outbreak, which originated in five Chicago-area counties, has spread as far as central Illinois. Salmonella is a bacterial infection usually transmitted through contaminated food. At least seven cases of salmonella food poisoning have been confirmed in McHenry County, and one family memberln Crystal Lake Reported Tuesday night that his family was stricken by the food poisoning and blamed it on milk purchased at tee Crystal Lake Jewel Fooa Store. Lake said his two sons drank some of the weekend and were exhibiting all the signs of the Len Korn of susect milk over 1 food poisonni Korn said he did not suspect salmonella food poisoning until the reports about the tainted rmlk began to appear on television, and his family realized they had consumed a gallon of the allegedly tainted milk. Officials at the Crystal Lake Jewel said that none of the the contaminated milk had been delivered to the Crystal Lake area. George Wadzinski, resident manager of the Crystal Lake Jewel, said ne did not know on what information the previous statement was based but added, "It was all one batch of milk so all the stores probably got it." One official said they believe that two percent fat-content milk CL in 'final four' sold under the Bluebrook brand in Jewel Food Stores and Eisner I stores is responsible for the outbreak. But they said laboratory test* ; were not yet available. Yet, the onset of such cases probably began decreasing Tuesday, * he said, noting the suspect milk was last sold March 29 and that the ; incubation period for the illness is three days. • "We're talking about milk that has been off the shelves more than' four days," added Mary Huck, a department' spokeswoman. "The • new cases we're getting now probably started with milk consumed a > few days ago." Only one-gallon cardboard containers with a March 29 expiration - date were in question. Authorities advised disposal of open con-: tainers of the milk and the return of any unopened containers for testing. . . - ' £ > Jewel spokeswoman Kathleen Cox said the firm wasn't sfire the • milk was contaminated. She said she did not know the number or location of the cartons but said the milk is distributed in Illinois,» Indiana, Michigan and Iowa. I Illinois cases nave been confirmed in Du Page, Kane, Lake, Will, * Coles, McHenry, Grundy, Kendall, Winnebago, Vermilion,. Champaign, Rock Island and Cook counties. Hie most reports have come from Cook County with 178 suspected» cases and Lake County with 157. Since Friday, more than 20 hospitals have reported treating: salmonella patients. ^ Bluebrook milk is processed by Hillfarm Dairy Inc., a Jewel• subsidiary in the Chicago suburb of Melrose Park. * Hospital offers cancer programs for American City TUA 1 T AITA rn«A*»A WW rill KA MA AUAw/FA T The Crystal Lake Amtfutal and Sherman Hospital will present a program in recognition of national Cancer Control Month, Tuesday, April 16, 7:30 p.m., in the Ambutal's community room.

If Crystal Lake were one of the NCAA basketball teams, "we would be in the final four." That was Crystal Lake Mayor Carl Wehde's analysis of the city's finalist status in the All- America City competition. Weh- de and City Manager Joe Misurelli made the an­ nouncement that Crystal Lake was not chosen. Although Crystal Lake was not a winner in the National ^Municipal League competition, city officials commended the community efforts for finishing as one of 17 city finalists of the 500 communities which had applied for the award. Of the communities which participated, the cities were narrowed down to 100 and, of those, 17 finalists were selected. Eight All-America Cities were chosen by the Municipal League. They are Quincy, 111.; Fayetteville, N.C.; Albany, Ore., Alexandria, Va.; An­ chorage, Alaska; Harrisburg, Pa.; Monterey Park, Calif.; and Tempe, Ariz. Crystal Lake will receive a special finalist award for imaginative -and effective leadership taken by its city council and citizens in the development of a growth management plan, expanded library facilities and citizen- police cooperation in creation of a Crime Stoppers program.
