PACE 18 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 17. 1»7S We have been informed that the newly appointed RTA of­ ficer earns more than her severest critic. Mr.Skinner, and other full time legislators (unless the move to raise salaries in Springfield is suc­ cessful). They both make more than we do and we even work overtime, but we don't have time for envy. We ll just keep plugging away, trying to get benefits for McHenry and the rest of the county from something that spells itself RTA and to date has been something of a phantom in the boondocks.

Teachers from Landmark, Kdgebrook and Junior high will meet with Johnson at Junior high. Valley View, Hilltop and Parkland school teachers will meet at Parkland with Smith. The Inservice will be held between 1 and 3:30 p.m The matter of a conservation study intended to save both energy and money came before the board. A survey had been recommended by the ad­ ministration at the December meeting, to cover a review of heating, lighting, insulation and energy practices The architectural firm of O'Donnell, Wicklund and Pigozzi, which conducted the last Life Safety work locally, wrote to the business manager outlining the procedure used in other energy reports. At present, some guidelines are being reviewed by the Illinois Office of Education and any money expended for this work would not be forthcoming until June of 1979. T h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n recommended that the topic be brought up again after the guidelines are defined by the 1.0 E In the discussion, two board members questioned what the district is doing about con­ serving energy, both noting that they had observed schools in which they met to be brightly lighted and some rooms ex­ ceptionally warm Dr. Richard Farmer, superintendent explained that the Junior high had ex perienced trouble with spot heating and the problem of some rooms becoming too warm while attempting to get the level of others to an ac­ cepted temperature. He said a survey to equalize the heating was in order. The 1978-79 school calendar was announced to the board TO HOME OWNERS V NEW low prices Dr. Farmer commented that preparation of the calendar should be no problem, but it was time consuming in view of the many suggestions he received. He noted that the problem probably results from a lack of knowledge about legal requirements, combined with options locally determined by t r a d i t i o n , i n t e r - d i s t r i c t cooperation and those who favor particular conditions. The only negative vote was cast by Gary Lockwood. The board acted to request a debt service grant which, if awarded and fully funded, would give $78,416 to the district and result in a savings to taxpayers. Previous awards have allowed District 15 to reduce the tax rate for the Bond and Interest fund by about eight to ten cents. The grant is for pincipal and interest payments due in the fiscal year on eligible bonds for capital improvements issued and sold after Jan. 1, 1969, and prior to Oct. 1, 1973. Tentative approval was given to a per student dollar allocation so that planning can be done within the individual buildings. The figures were the same as last year, $27 for kindergarten; $32 for grades 1-5 and $38 for grades 6-8. Members Terry Howard and Anna Mae Cuda questioned the figures remaining un­ changed in view of rising costs elsewhere. Mrs. Cuda com­ mented that she would rather increase the amounts by a dollar if the money could be saved another place. Her question was whether all students benefit equally or whether special type courses are only for some students. Fred Kusch of the ad ministrative staff said that only a few years ago special programs were not for all, but today an attempt is being made to make them available for the student body. Dr. Farmer said he would make a further study and try to answer her questions in more detail. Approval also went to a kindergarten workbook fee assessment of $10 per student for next year The bid of McHenry State bank was accepted for $600,000 in 1977 tax anticipation warrants for the Education f u n d a t a n i n t e r e s t r a t e o f 4 ' 2 percent. A bid by the First National bank of McHenry was at 4.1 percent but only on $100,000 and the school attorney advised that this was not acceptable because the invitation to bid was on tjie lump sum of $600,000. It was decided ,JU>- change the procedure next year and allow bids at a minimum of $100,000. The policy statement for special education services for non-public school students was approved, worded to read that these services will be provided any qualifying private school student who is a resident of District 15 on a dual or shared time enrollment basis. All such services must take place in the public school buildings following regular screening and scheduling procedures for special education services in District 15. The board employed Renee Perlish and Pamela Soukup for teaching assignments and Donna Dobbertin and Nancy Noack as teacher aides at Parkland The resignatin of Barbara Anderson, an aide at Parkland, was accepted DRUG ABUSE. PROGRAM AT JOHNSBURG (Continued from paee 1) street, Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m. The judge's talk will cover the function of the court, as one of the three branches of government involved in the operation of our criminal justice system. Judge Floeter will also outline what happens when a youth and his parents reach the courts. A typical case will be taken from the arrest to court sentencing. Parents' legal rights will also be discussed. In his spare time. Judge Floeter is active in Boy Scouts, serving for the past three years ^s county membership chairman and as organizer of School Night for Scouting. Judge Floeter's view is that "if we spend time with kids who don't get into trouble, we might once again make good citizenship a goal of all youngsters." Judge Floeter was appointed as associate judge in January, 1975, and has been designated Family court judge to hear all Juvenile court and adoption matters. In addition, his assignments include criminal misdemeanor, traffic and jury cases. Also on the panel with Judge Floeter will be Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell, Crystal Lake Juvenile Officer Detective Keith Nygren, Family Services Alcohol Counselor G.R. Waldo, and representatives of youth, court and family service agencies, as well as school principals, deans and coun­ selors. Each speaker will conduct a 20-minute class, with parents rotating to each of six classrooms SELECT MCHS GOOD CITIZEN Northern Illinois How To Harness Solar Energy (Continued from page 1) young people selected.

RTE. 120 McHENRY, ILL PHONE 385 "DEAL WITH THE PRO'S ' McHENRY FIRESTONE, INC. hi The McHenry Coanty Defenders were pleased to hear from Dr. John Martin, left, at a meeting held at Crescent Bay Landing Feb. 3. Jan Chinland, one of three executive council officers, chatted with the physicist about solar energy and the heat pump, over dessert. Included in Dr. Martin's lecture was a slide presentation and physiological theories on the conserving of energy. Because of climate, plentiful water and the angle of the sun, northern Illinois has one of the best opportunities to use solar energy. Dr. John H. Martin, speaking to members of the McHenry County Defenders at their annual meeting Friday evening, Feb. 3, emphasized methods for environmental protection, through continuing conservation, harnessing of solar energy, and using waste material as natural resource. Approximately eighty people attended the dinner and speech held at the Crescent Bay Landing. Material was available explaining the achievements of the Defenders in 1977 and their continuing work and objectives for the future. Guest speaker. Dr. John Martin, is a physicist with Sheaffer and Roland, Inc., a Chicago firm which does en- street at Third street Monday. Hayim Rodrik.

"Simply put," he said, "ours is a be kind to the environment company." Dr Martin said that before solar energy can be used properly in a home, the building must be soundly built and well insulated. It is im­ portant to have trees to shelter homes from the sun and to break the wind on cold days. After energy is saved by natural means and solid con­ struction. then the mechanical method of heating and cooling the home can be decided. Dr. Martin showed various slides graphing the amount of heat which could be gathered from the sun during each month of the year. The graphs showed that the best angle for collecting solar energy is vertical, with a collector facing a southerly direction. In nor­ thern Illinois the best months for using the vertical angle are N o v e m b e r . D e c e m b e r , January and Kebruary, when energy is most needed. Dr. Martin stated that he has found the best method of solar collecting is an air type collector, since the water types are still too expensive. According to Dr Martin s research, the most efficient home use of solar energy today is when used in conjunction with the heat pump In the winter the pump extracts heat from the outside air and in the summer the unit serves as an air conditioner As the air outside gets colder the heat pump must work harder. At the same time, the house is requiring more heat. Now heat from the solar collector stored in a reservoir in the home can be used to augment the pump Dr. Martin said the cost of installing this type of system to a home owner is around $6,000 to $8,000 Afterward, electrical energy costs should be reduced by two-thirds to three-fourths the previous costs With the cost of energy and fertilizer escalating, waste must be utilized as a natural resource Dr. Martin's com­ pany markets a device which recycles the cow waste and is presently used on two large farms Anaerobic organisms ferment the waste, converting it to methane, carbon dioxide, and high quality protein He p r e d i c t s t h a t s o m e d a y t h e protein may be refed to the animals but that now the inert and odorless sludge is used on crop land Guest - Dan Swartzman. a member of the Illinois Kn- vironmental council, spoke briefly. He requested that the Defenders consider three ways to help the council in 1978 support their ideas through good will and representation, participate actively by such means as writing letters to legislators, and donate money l,ast year the IKC strongly supported the "Bottle Bill", fought against air pollution and to preserve natural areas in the state (The report and photo per taining to the County Defenders meeting were given by Marilyn McNally and Molly Caliger of McHenry County college) Eleven Apply To Fill Associate Judgeships Kleven men have applied to fill the vacancy of associate judge for the 19th Judicial circuit according to Fred H.
