B, PAGE 1 Enrollment down MCC looks for more money By Steve Peterson Plaindealer News Service McHenry County College officials are trying to find ways to replace revenue lost because of a decline in enrollment. The college's board of trustees approved a balanced $7 million bud­ get for fiscal year 1986 Thursday, after some last-minute adjust­ ments. The vote on the budget was unanimous. MCC faces a 13.5 percent drop in enrollment for the fall term, which begins this week. With the drop of 3,000 credit hours between the origi­ nal budget and the budget approved last week, the administration has had to reduce the budgeted revenue by $94,000. MCC President Robert Bartlett told the trustees the administration has already made reductions total­ ing $44,236. Cutting remodeling, not replacing full-time staff who have been terminated, replacing full- time terminations with part-time employees as well as reducing stu­ dent health services expenditures are among the steps the administra­ tion has already taken. The college's reserve fund has J>een reduced from $150,000 to The largest drop in credit hours from 1984-85 came in the fall. The 1984-85 figure was $21,097. The final budgeted amount is $18,500. "We've been surveying colleges, and the range is down from eight to 19 percent, so we're not alone," Bartlett told the board. Bartlett said there had been a "surge in phone calls last week about registering, more than normal." However, Bartlett said there is a difficulty in projecting enrollments. "The problem is there is no mod­ el. Any model we have developed in the past has gone out the window. We're really operating in the dark. I cannot tell you when all of this will come to an end," Bartlett said. Bartlett added the administration will be searching for more reduc­ tions over the next two months and will inform the board of those re­ ductions in October. He said the reductions may bring the reserve fund closer to the original $150,000 figure. Trustee Anthony Wujcik praised the administration for its efforts in making the cutbacks. "I think the administration de­ serves a pat on the back for making the cuts and staying within the bud­ get," Wujcik said. The education fund is the largest single fund in the budget. Its reve­ nues and expenditures total $4,359,962. This includes a $3 tuition hike per credit hour and the 7 per­ cent salary and fringe benefit pack­ age negotiated with the teacher's union. The operations, building and maintenance fund in the budget to­ tals $641,256 in revenues and expenses. Other funds are for restricted uses. These smaller funds are: the bond and interest fund; the restrict­ ed purposes fund; the working cash fund; the audit and liability fund, and the protsction and settlement fund. Another fund, the auxiliary enter­ prises fund, covers such areas as community services, seminars, cen­ ter for industrial & business train­ ing, food services, bookstore, athlet­ ics, student life and the student newspaper. College annexed by Crystal Lake By Alex Rodriguez Plaindealer News Service The McHenry County College Board of Trustees voted Thursday to annex into the city of Crystal Lake, a move city officials say will help the college financially and could also prove to be an additional selling point for the city. City officials have been talking with college administrators about annexation since late 1984, said City Manager Joe Misurelli. With Thurs­ day's move, MCC now only needs to go through city channels -- the Zon­ ing Board of Appeals, possibly the Planning Commission and the City Council -- to finalize annexation, Misurelli said. For the college, the decision to annex was a smart financial move, according to college officials. As a resident of Crystal Lake, the college will pay 33.3 percent less in sewer fees, Misurelli said. Users outside the city pay a 33.3 percent sur­ charge on their sewer fees. The college will be able to take advantage of the city's Dial-a-Ride service. And, the college's fire in- ANNEX - Page 3 Flying high Robert Rich, a junior at Johnsburg High School received August 18 one of the most prestigious awards in scouting: the Eagle Scout badge.

A, PAGE 8 Three in area are included At least three McHenry area resi­ dents are among those people who have applied for certificates signify­ ing them as relatives of Early Set­ tlers of McHenry County. The "Early Settler" certificate is one program started by the McHen­ ry County Geneological Society. To receive one of the certificates, a resident must show documented proof of each relationship in each generation and this information must accompany each application. Acceptable proof includes census records; birth, death and marriage certificates; Bible records; military records; obituaries; estate records; newspaper clippings; land records; tombstone inscriptions; and refer­ ences in county histories. Among the county residents quali­ fying are Vivian Bassett, of McHen­ ry, who is the descendant of Andrew Wilson Murphy who settled in Greenwood Township in 1838. Elaine Nell, of McHenry, is de­ scended from a number of German immigrants who settled in the area north of the city known as Johns­ burg. Her ancestor, Jacob Freund, came to that area as a child "pre- 1850" and he married Anna Schmitt, who had come in 1843. Anna Marie Meyers came in 1844 and later mar­ ried Heinrich Hiller, who arrived in 1855. Johann Peter Schaefer, who came in 1842, was married to Bar- Vivian Bassett (left) and Elaine Nell, both of the McHenry area, receive their Early Settler certifi­ cates from Phyllis Bauer (right), president of the.

Henry Nell, the husband of Elaine Nell, also qualifies for a certificate based on his ancestory which leads back to other Johnsburg settlers. These include Mathias Freund, who arrived in 1847 and was married to Catherina Nett; Heinrich Nell, an 1849 settler who married Agnes Scheid Schlimpen. Other county residents who have applied include Everett Thomas of Woodstock claims as his ancestor, Andrew Thomas, who came to Mc­ Henry Township in 1840. Florence Arsenty of Harvard has proven her descent from Carl Pin- now, who settled in Crystal Lake in 1873. She has also proven her de­ scent from Franz Carl Henning and Johanna Groth. Henning made his home in 1864. Also, Judith Rogers of Harvard has qualified, noting that her ances­ tor, John Nolan, arrived in Hartland Township in 1846. The certificates are printed on a parchment-like paper and bear a gold seal for settlers before 1850 and blue for those after 1850 but before Application forms for the Early Settler certificate are available at most county libraries or from the McHenry Geneological Society, (McHenry Public Library), 1011 N.
