HIGH SCHOOL BOARD IN REORGANIZATION (Continued from page 1) he believed that it would be illegal to deny a person his right to an education. He said the leverage for the school came after graduation when no diploma is issued to delinquent students, and no records (transcripts) are released for employment or advanced education purposes until the bills are paid. In other business, the board approved renewal of its membership in the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) and the resignation of several employees including Linda A. Watson as secretary to the superintendent and Bill Day as head varsity football coach. Hired as replacement for vacancies were Kim Wilson as West campus custodian, Peggy Gilger as acting secretary for the superintendent and Sandra Betancourt as bus driver. The board authorized Kelly to participate in the Illinois state joint governmental purchasing program which permits local schools to buy certain supplies at bulk rates due to contracts negotiated and let by the state for a number of institutions. Benrud voted no on the proposal after indicating, in discussion, that he considered the proposal unfair to local business people. The board approved an ad­ ministration request for junior prom night transportation involving no more than nine buses to a resort in Wisconsin. The administration said there would be no chaperones on the buses and anticipated no problems that the drivers could not handle because their passengers would be in formal dress. A request by Montini school for transportation of a number of District 36 students from the Wonder Lake area was okayed with the provision that the most efficient way of handling them be investigated, including collecting them at Harrison school for pickup. Originally the high school had been carrying these students until a difference in starting time developed and the elementary school buses became involved. The service will be resumed in the coming school year. Charges to District 36 will be on a per capita basis prorated on the computed passenger unit cost, Schwartzloff indicated. In other business the board ' approved the hiring of Fred E. Goering as director of tran­ sportation in conjunction with District 15 following an executive session for discussion of his qualifications. Board members also requested they be furnished copies of the new transportation handbook for review. It is not to be approved until the new director comes aboard. The book is to provide guidelines for discipline and other problems. BUDGET ADDITION FOR COURT PLANS (Continued from page 1) plan calls for a curtailment of growth in the suburban area and encourages growth in the major cities. Dianne Easty, chairman of the Zoning and Planning committee, stated this was true, but commented this is not • only the plan of the Nor­ theastern Illinois Plan com­ mission but also the aim of the federal government. Action was taken in the form of a resolution opposing House Bill 0940 which "gives chair­ man of each "collar county" board the same number of votes as residents in his county for purposes of electing the two directors to the (RTA) board; requires succeeding directors be appointed not less than 30 days before the end of the previous director's term". The board termed the bill as "detrimental to the best in- tersts of McHenry county". In a local zoning action, the petition of Alexander and Marilyn White for an amend­ ment and variation of the zoning ordinance from "P" Farming to "E-l" Estate use in Nunda township was denied. There were about 12 acres involved with frontage on the south side of Justen road. After hearing testimony, the Zoning Board of Appeals decided that the soil was not suitable for the proposed development and the residential trend in the area is to large 5-plus acre sites. For this reason, denial was recommended. An ordinance agreed to verbally last month won ap­ proval, regulating watercraft in public waters not under the jurisdiction of any municipality. It pertained to the closing of the Fox river or other waterways to all non­ emergency watercraft traffic at times when it is deemed necessary. The report on Valley Hi Nursing home included a meeting between Ad­ ministrator Morefield, Board member Lou Anne Majewski and Dorothy Kerr, ad­ ministrator of Carestoel in McHenry. When it was learned that Carestoel accepts Medicaid recipients, Morefield suggested that any further work on a possible addition to Valley Hi should be tabled until such time as additional in­ formation can be obtained. Ms. Majewski noted a generous bequest made by the late Clara Stoffel of McHenry to Valley Hi home. In a difference of opinion over one appointment to the Mental Health board, only three members were con­ firmed. Consideration of a fourth member was held over. None were from the McHenry area* Donna Peterson of McHenry was named to the McHenry Planning commission to serve until Dec. 1 of this year. Wilbur Haak of Wonder Lake was appointed to the Wonder Lake Fire Protection district, his term to run from May of 1979 to May of 1982. Supervisor of Assessments Willard Hogge told the board tax bills would be between 30 and 60 days late this year, adding that no tax rate had been received from the state. Buss moved that the county treasurer be instructed to proceed with bills on a verbal commitment. It could reduce the number of days the bills would be late, or if a change had to be made it might be as much as 60 days late. Hogge noted that the rate would be higher than last year 34-ACRE PARK ADDED TO CITY (Continued from page 1) manpower. Bolger said taverns should carry their own weight. The discussion also covered the problems of one owner who was seeking to get a liquor license renewal while a court suit is pending over the question of whether his license was revoked or not after dif­ ficulties with the city two years ago. Some aldermen thought he had been punished enough. Attorney Narusis said the suit is still active and anything the city and the owner would do at this time could affect their posture in the court pleadings. The Council approved the annexation and zoning for the Kaufman-Glosson plat with 9 lots on the north side of Route 120. 7 fronting on the highway and 2 on Ringwood road. Common drives were provided between lots on the highway. Zoning was specified as B-l business with some B-3 uses. The petitioner said that he was not concerned with apartment uses over -the businesses PAC.F 21 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY/APRIL 20,1979 "See me for a State Farm Homeowners Policy with Inflation Coverage."

The Council approved the proposal by the Lions club for a community calendar to be erected on the fire department parking lot along Route 120 near Richmond road. The five- line sign would advertise community public service events. The city would pay for the electricity under the agreement, with a provision for cancellation if reason should arise. Alderman Smith asked if political advertisements would be permitted, "no", but notice of elections, "yes". The sign will be visible from both ways on Route 120. The Council set a date for a zoning hearing and Council consideration of a proposed annexation of 912-acre parcel of David Evans 700 feet west of Route 31 and fronting on the north side of Bull Valley road. Proposed is a retail auto ser­ vice center. The ZBA hearing is for Friday. May 11, and the city consideration May 21. Fred Meyers, superintendent of Public Works, reported that his crews Were busy cleaning up and repairing items in the city parks and doing patching on the roads. The playground equipment for Petersen park was to arrive Tuesday. He also asked the Council to pass three ordinances that would prohibit parking, encroachment, and provide storm water facilities within the limits of the in­ tersections being readied for remodeling and signalization at Front street and Richmond road on Route 120 in order to comply with state requirements. He also discussed the problem of who to talk to for permission to tie in the new traffic signal on Crystal Lake road at Route 120 with the railroad crossing warning lights which are nearby.

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN (Continued from page 1) derstanding of all may be the candidates who so recently emerged weary from city, village and school elections. No one could better appreciate quiet simplicity than these men and women who learned that wooing the voting public can be a wearisome job. So in our midst we have those who won victory with votes. They will lead growingly complex local governments. Blending very comfortably with that picture is the un­ complicated life of those creatures that bring into contrast another way of life. And if the tfruth could be told, some of us who lead the hectic life may sometimes feel nature has the best of it -- even with the possibility of life being snuffed out at the whim of the elements or man behind the wheel of a high powered vehicle. We pay our money, but we don't always have a choice! KAF CONSERVATION FAMILY OF THE YEAR (Continued from page 1) program that leveled and seeded the land as mining was completed. Reiland has turned some land formerly tilled into pasture, constructed five ponds on the farmland, turned to contour and minimum tillage on the land planted in row crops, and planted acres of trees where needed. "The windbreak of trees not only controls soil erosion," says Reiland "It also provides cover for wildlife." , Throughout his conservation plan, Reiland considers the wildlife He has left uncut areas in the alfalfa fields and left a strip of sorghum in one of the fields for pheasants, other birds and rabbits. Standing corn provided another wildlife area. Feeders have been placed near ponds and among the six- year-old pines. Reiland says chisel plowing has helped conserve moisture and lessen winter erosion. It also helped absorb the spring rains and prevented significant amounts of top soil being washed away with the rain, he observed. "Farming and conservation go hand-in-hand," he asserted 'Odd areas that cannot be planted are natural nesting areas for birds and hiding areas for other wildlife." Reiland is active in com­ munity conservation work, serving on conservation committees and encouraging outdoor classroom projects. He is a member of the McHenrv County Fair association board of directors and an active member in such sportsmen groups as the Wauconda Sportsmen's club. Duke Haven Gun club. and Ducks Unlimited His conservation efforts are coordinated with an adjacent sportsmen's club. As an example, a field trial for retrievers will be held in one of the wildlife areas in con­ junction with a sportsmen's group Mr and Mrs. Reiland have two daughters, Lynn. 7 and Margaret. 4. About 25 acres ot land are in one reclaimed gravel pit area. Another large area similar in size is located on an adjacent part of their family farm.
