VILLAGE BOARD NEWS At a special meeting, May 10, called for the purpose of discussing organizational procedure for future com­ munications to the board and chairpersons, it was established that the president and board would have a lateral responsibility and the chair­ persons to committees would be vertical. The order of business meetings for future board meetings will be the Pledge of Allegiance, call to order, roll call, minutes, open to the floor, reports of officers, standing committee reports, open to the trustees, open to the floor, old business, new business and adjournment. A suggestion to have village residents serve as ex-officio members on all committees was tabled for future con­ sideration. At the May 16, board meeting the following items and discussions were on the agenda. President Grimes introduced the new village attorneys, Mr. Rogers and Mr. Poper. Mr. Lon Reed, building and zoning officer, reported that there are three new houses under construction in the village, one new manufacturing building at Tonyan Park, and 10 miscellaneous building permits issued since April 1. Twelve people were in at­ tendance at the meeting to comment upon such diversified items as the ice cream truck going through the village this summer; the quality of the property known as Creekside Park; a director for the recreation program; mosquito control; and road repairing. Mr. Higgins from the water company was present to request from the board a letter of approval to EPA and ICC to allow the water company to lay new mains in Unit 5. Mr. Wilson questioned the capacity of the the present water tower, pump, flow lines, etc. for further hooking up of lines into Unit 5, and he questioned Mr. Higgins about further water liens into adjacent areas. Mr. Higgins assured the board that his water company had no in­ tention to go on with the water lines to areas other than Unit 5, and if he did, he said there would be a public hearing on it. The board resubmitted his water main plans to com­ mittee. The lawyers were asked to research the title of the channel and return with recom­ mendations on the state of the title to the channel. Their research cost is not to exceed $400. A new contract regarding mosquito control is to be drawn up. The new contract will in­ volve the usual spraying which controls the adult mosquito at a cost of $100 per application, and a walk through the village to spray areas of stagnant water which provides for larval control at a cost of $50 per walk. A resolution was read by Clerk Larsen, moved by Wilson and seconded by Weiler, to appoint James Janicki as village collector. Mr. John Fuhler was present to explain to the board his plans for the roads in Unit 5, three blocks (1600 ft.) in length. Improvements discussed were the width of the roads, 20 ft. bituminous and 22 ft. gravel base, 3" slope from center to edge for water run off, 2" blacktop, 8" compacted base, shoulders graded to ditch line, and proper ditching as ap­ proved by our village engineers. Forty-eight hours notice will be given before the road work will begin. John promises that the work will be completed by Sept. 15. There was much discussion over who would have the final word on the proper ditching methods- the village engineers, the developer, or the paving company. It was finally agreed upon by all concerned that the contract the village would sign with Mr. Fuhler would include the phrase that the developer and the village engineers must be in total agreement on the proper ditching before the agreement can be signed. President Grimes submitted to the ordinance committee the resolution to be read regarding the new engineering firm of Hampton, Lenzini and Ren- wick. This resolution was not read at this meeting. The Police contractual service agreement with Prairie Grove was rejected unanimously by the board. Russ Haderly, the road commissioner, was called upon to comment upon the type of repair needed for the problem at Bull Valley and Meadow. A committee will look into the immediate repair of this area. There were questions from those in the audience con­ cerning the funds available for the new office equipment, recreation equipment, recreation director's salary if necessary, and the condition of the property directly opposite the village annex. The next board meeting will be Thursday, June 7 at 7 p.m. It was incorrectly stated in this column that last week's board meeting was to take place May 17, instead of May 16. The new policy of Thursday board meetings does not take effect till June Sorry for any in­ convenience this may have caused you. OFFICER LEAVES The village has lost a swell police officer now that Tom Halian has been chosen to be a policeman in the city of Har­ vard. Our loss is certainly their gain. It was always a pleasure to see Tom driving by on his daily rounds. His pleasant face and easy going manner will surely be missed. Whoever has replaced him has a tough act to follow. Good luck, Tom, in your new positon. IMPORTANT Plant thieves are again at work in the village. Plants and hangers are being taken from front porches and yards. Please be on the alert for these in­ sidious people. Report suspicious characters - they must be scouting the village before they do their stealing.

PLYWOOD MINNESOTA WAREHOUSE SHOWROOMS WOODSTOCK (815) 338-1440 1230 DAVIS ROAD (BYPASS RT. 14 S 47) ACROSS FROM FARM & FLEET Hours: Mondoy ft Fridoy 9 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday 9 u.m -6 p.m.; Saturday 9 a.m.-5 p.m Principals O. Gregory Johnson and D. William Dodds of McHenry high school an­ nounced this week that the school's accreditation has been extended through the 1978-79 school year following the review and approval of its annual report at the North Central association's annual meeting. Accreditation is for one year at a time and must be renewed annually. > "Once very seven years each NCA school must undergo a comprehensive self-study followed by an NCA evaluation team review," Principal Dodds explained. "This school will be evaluated next fall. In the in­ terim years, a school is ac­ credited on the basis of its report on conditions existing in the school and on such sup­ plementary information as the Commission on Secondary Schools requests. Our reports for 1978-1979 assures us of ongoing NCA membership and accreditiation. This continued accreditation means that the conditions for effective education exist in the school." The North Central association is the largest of the country's regional accrediting agencies. It is a voluntary league of over 4,600 schools and 850 colleges and universities in 19 states, plus the Department of Defense Dependent Schools throughout the world. A total of 625 schools are accredited in Illinois. The association works with invidudal schools to im­ prove the quality of education through a continuous process of evaluation and accreditation. Dr. John S. Kemp NCA state director at the University of Illinois, congratulated McHenry high school on its continued accreditation for 1978-1979. The administrators feel this should be a matter of quiet satisfaction to the students and the parents of the school, since accreditation gives assurance that the school meets those minimal yet rigorous preconditions for effective education established by the Association. Through this voluntary membership in the NCA, the school and the people in the district have committed themselves to the pursuit of quality in education. Accreditation by the North Central association assure^ that the school is meeting the minimal conditions for ef­ fectiveness. By setting stan­ dards for basic operations of the school and by requiring a comprehensive self-study once every seven years, the NCA stimulates the school towards continuous improvement. The local administrators commented, "This is ac­ countability in action, for a school evaluation involves students, faculty and parents. The external team is composed of teachers, administrators, university personnel and Illinois Office of Education representatives. The year the school spends on an evaluation enables every teacher to participate in the development of a comprehensive plan for school improvement. "Decentralization is the hallmark of American education. It has resulted in vigorous schools and great flexibility. Still there is a need for some thread of consistency and a common commitment to quality to intergrate this rich educational diversity in our nation. By providing optional, voluntary, self-policed stan­ dards, regional accreditation achieves a large degree of quality control yet does not forfeit that unique and in­ valuable feature -- local governance of the schools "NCA accreditation helps build public confidence by witnessing to the public that the school is meeting expectations and fulfilling not only local standards but also those more widely accepted throughout the state and the nation. NCA standards are established by the profession itself. "Contemporary concepts of education are opening exciting possbiliites to society. Yet even as the creative innovative processes reveal new horizons for both teachers and students, the need for perspective becomes essential. NCA membership offers both a base for the blast-off of new programs and also a mission control to keep them on the most productive educational course."

Dixon Secretary of State I feel that teaching safe anct sane driving habits to bicycle riders is important enough to merit continuing the list of bicycle laws and safety tips started last week 1.) A bike flag and a rearview mirror are added safety precautions 2.) When operating a bic cle. you must never attach yourself or your bicycle to any vei icle on the roadway. 3.) You always must top before reaching a school bus which has stopped to loj i or unload passengers 4.) Weaving from ont a ? to another is both illeg 1 and dangerous 5.) Turning around on .ills or curves is not allowed Don't make a U-turn any pla -e without first looking c irefu y to see if it is safe to d< so < »n sOme streets. U-turns are not permitted 6.) You must never drive at a speed faster than that which is reasonable and safe. 7.) Wear light-colored clothing or apply reflective tape to the rider's clothing or the bicycle s handlebars, frame or fenders. It will help you to be seen and may keep you from getting hit. Some riders use arm and leg lights. 8.) Watch for people getting in and out of parked cars, and for cars pulling into traffic from a curb or driveway.
