i 'J> OKAY SEWER PLANt BONDS (Continued from page 1) once those meters are taken care of, "they'll forget about the whole damn project." City Clerk Barbara Gilpin said she would see to it that the committee is informed on the progress of the program. In a conversation with Supt. Meyer Tuesday morning, he said that 10 fire hydrants in the City still needed repairs. NEW ORDINANCE REGULATES MASS COUNTY MEETINGS (Continued from page 1) asked for another meeting. In zoning requests, Ronald Bykowski was permitted to rezone two lots which abut a building he owns that is already zoned "B-l". Several residents of the area had been concerned about possible parking problems, but Bykowski assured them this would be short term only. The recom­ mendation for approval was unanimous. Another request, made by Harvey Jones, Jr., of Barnard Mill road, was also granted. He was allowed a variation to permit operation of a machine shop, with a 20-year time limitation. A report from the office of the McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster agency indicated steps have been taken to establish such an agency in McHenry Shores. The ap­ pointment of a coordinator is expected in the near future. County Agency Director John Shay of McHenry also reported that his office was on a 24-hour status on the reentry of the Skylab satellite. Volunteers gave a total of 39.55 hours in manning the Emergency Operations center and receiving reports of sightings. Among appointments, Glenn Peterson of McHenry was reappointed county building and zoning officer for a term to extend to Aug. 31, 1980. The April sales tax was reported to be $93,721.68. The board increased members' mileage from 18 to 23 cents per mile. PROJECT SCHOOL BUDGET SURPLUS I (Continued from page!) the problem is worse than anticipated. He said there were also problems with the base on the six tennis courts at West and the recommended repairs would cost about $8,000 per court or an estimated $50,000. When Neumann asked if the board was obligated to spend the projected amounts if ap­ proved, Peterson said that even after state approval, items could be deleted. But putting them in the Life Safety amendment would leave their options open, he added. Modifications to the elevator at West campus were discussed , in connection with state requirements that all programs be made available to han­ dicapped. Swartzloff said the requirement was being ob­ served at East by having all programs for a handicapped student on one level and making arrangements to carry the person upstairs if required. Peterson advised that the Capital Development board booklet on this subject is just a guide and is subject to broad interpretation. He reminded the board that there are other handicaps also such as blind­ ness and deafness that require various special systems to compensate for. He said the problem of accommodating all handicaps is almost unsolvable unless a building or facility is planned from the beginning. The board also approved bids for special program items. A low bid of $1,101.28 for language laboratory equipment and $2,188.80 for various band accessories were accepted. Following an executive session, bids of $30 per square yard for concrete and $9,175.56 for lumber for the building trade program were accepted. The selection of William J: Winkel as district building trades in­ structor and Donald E. Perardi as Achieve instructor for West campus also resulted from the session. In other business, Fred Goering, transportation director, advised that he would soon have bids coming for the board to review and accept. Supt. Swartzloff announced that the Illinois Office of Education had approved the district's title I proposal which deals largely with remedial reading programs for $21,479. The board expressed in­ terest, with some reservations, in a proposal by Community Cablevision to televise school sporting events and board meetings. Board member Dan McNulty noted that it would provide an opportunity for the board to communicate with the community about issues it believed to be important. He warned about the hazard of putting people to sleep, however. And he noted that the showing of a board meeting would probably be edited as a station couldn't be expected to broadcast sa whole 3-hour meeting. Board member Judy Zid said she would feel uncomfortable about somebody editing the meeting. McNulty reminded her that newspapers essentially do that in their coverage. Board member Paul Nitz wondered about the wisdom of broadcasting sporting events and quoted the example of Little League contests which resulted in what he charac­ terized as "meat parades". He said there would be time for the young people to get on TV when they are older. He was con­ cerned about the pressure on the kids. If the adults want to _ see them, let them come out (to the games), he said. Neumann wondered if there would be an effect on ticket sales if games were broadcast. McNulty said he didn't think the exposure would be ex­ ploitive, but the arrangements could always be changed if the board found that it was so. Other board members ex­ pressed interest in coverage of debates and other non-sport activities. Supt. Swartzloff said a meeting with the company was to be scheduled and members could sit in at that time if they wish w.o'J •* EXTEND COMMENT ON LAND USE (Continued from page I) department, Stephen Aradas, said that single copies of the text are still available. The Land Use plan map and existing Land Use map are also available for inspection at the Planning department in the McHenry county courthouse. Interested members of the public are encouraged to visit the Planning department to view the maps and pick up a copy of the text. Single copies of the text are free of charge. The proposed Land Use plan is in the process of being refined to include consideration of comments received from the public, planning com­ missioners, and County board members. It is expected that the plan will come before the County board for adoption at the Sept. 18 meeting. INVESTIGATION CONTINUES INTO SEX SCHOOL' (Continued from page 1) committe investigator, Edward Flynn, Spargo reportedly said he used his position as a sailing .instructor to approach children, fake them for rides and "enroll" them in his "school." Spargo was freed last Saturday after posting 10 percent of the $30,000 bond and he is scheduled to appear in court next Monday. A Libertyville man was arrested and charged with contributing to the sexual delinquency of a child and possession of marijuana after an incident on Orchard Beach drive. Karl Lutz, Libertyville, allegedly asked street direc­ tions while wearing nothing from the waist down. A description of the car was obtained and it was later stopped by McHenry police. On Aug. 18, a Pitzen road resident reported to the Sheriff's police that someone was having car trouble. \ When the officer arrived, he found that Wally Foreman, 509 Pine, McHenry, was driving with a suspended license and attempted to arrest him. , Leroy Sennett, 316 Darrell, McHenry, attempted to prevent that by pushing and shoving the officer, according to the report. Sennett was arrested for ob­ structing a peace officer. Bonds were set at $1,000 each. Shortly after 8 p.m. Monday night, the Sheriff's police were notified that employees of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad had seen what ap­ peared to be a body in a tree. It was. The police found the body of a white male, six feet tall, weighing approximately 200 pounds with brown hair and beard in a tree near Harvard. The body was positively identified the next day as David L. Stalzer, 24, of Berwyn, 111. District 12 Acts To Insure Adequate Winter Heating PAGE 19 -PLAINDEALER •FRIDAY.

A lengthy discussion on solutions to a possible heating dilemma was resolved when the Johnsburg school board members voted at the Aug. 14 board meeting to expend $5,600 for a larger boiler than was originally proposed, to insure adequate heating capacity for winter months for Johnsburg high school. The conversion from elec­ tricity to gas heater was agreed upon by the board after its experience with electric heating during the first year the new high school was open: Controversy revolved around two opposing opinions. The maintanence engineer for the high school suggested that a 3.75 million BTU -gas boiler, such as the new one to be in­ stalled at the school, would have to operate at 100 percent capacity to maintain the needed heat, and the electric standby boiler, which was used last year, may have to come into play in severe winter weather. The school's contract with the electric company for this year does not provide for an electric heating rate, and a mere ten days of use of the electric boiler could cost $5,000. He was quoted as saying he would be more comfortable operating a boiler under less than maximum stress, if possible. The engineering firm that recommended the boiler size maintains that the unit they suggested should be adequate and the standby could help out in really bad weather. Board member Barb Stanell wondered why professionals would not take the nature of northern Illinois winters into account when making recommendations. Gerald Sobiesk questioned whether the larger boiler wasn't above the standard needed. When the architects present were questioned, they advised that, as long as there was still the opportunity to make a change, perhaps a 4.75 million BTU boiler should be installed. Board member Tom Kahili moved that the larger boiler be installed, and if its size is not prohibitive in view of available space, this plan will be followed. It was also agreed that seven downspouts on the junior high building, which have been adversely affected by changes in temperature, would be replaced with cast iron downspouts at a cost of $400 apiece, and a portion of the roof on the new addition would be silvered for $600. Low bid was accepted for concrete work on the building trades house, with the flatwork to be done by the building trades class, as a part of their training. An 8' by 18' struc- turual steel platform for use as a football pressbox was okayed at a cost not to exceed $800, with adequate electrical ser­ vice and mike jacks. Concrete block enclosure and possible washrooms will be considered at a later date. Elementary principal Harry May, and a committee of three teachers, gave a report on their efforts to streamline report cards, with emphasis on con­ sistency in format and coding. It is hoped that the grading can be articulated through the various grades, but this may have to take a back seat to apparent needs at different levels. According to May, the system -developed by the committee is an attempt to reconcile the many differing concepts of grades, and still to show parents where their child stands in relatiori' to grade level, to his ability, and the child's effort in a given subject. Feedback on the report cards will be sought, and comment sheets are recommended. Retention is still an alter­ native, even beyond the usual cindergarten and first grade tvels. Points at which laterials change, such as third grade, will be considered check points for progress or the need for retention. Parent orien­ tation to the new grading system is planned, and cover sheets will be sent home with the first report cards. Connie Sanders, who taught SEE (Simulated Employee Experience) classes, reported on the thrust and progress of the program. The target group are slow learners, the un­ motivated, and those who show immaturity in dealing with peers or teachers. Model students are also involved to amplify the example of the teacher. Simple wood products made in the class are chosen, designed, made by assembly line techniques and sold by members of the class. Emphasis is on cooperative work techniques, positive at­ titudes through actual ac­ complishments, and mastery of basic skills. A connection is maintained with other classes being taken by a student, such as math, and Ms. Sanders has asked that measuring skills classes, providing im­ provement in both math and SEE classes. Steve Pollock, building trades coordinator, interjected at this time, that technical math taught in vocational classes is also coordinated with math classes. Ms. Stanel asked for feed­ back from the board regarding SEDOM budget proposals to be voted on at the next SEDOM meeting. Discussion arose around SEDOM's plan to possibly wipe out a $50,000 reserve because of having to shoulder the financial burden imposed by many school districts which have been chronically late in making tuition payments to SEDOM for several years. Using the reserve would result in the need for a 16 percent tuition increase throughout the -district, and was perceived by the John- ticipation warrants. The boardL noted that there already ap>: pears to be about $14,000 oir contingency built into various: > areas of the present budget, and while a more moderated increase might meet SEDOM'v needs, the 16 percent increase^ would not draw attention to Ujft^ late-paying districts and the " hardship they are causing other,, members of the cooperative , program. Dr. Andreas, who is a,* member of the board McHenry county schoqjt-. Nutrition Education network,, reported that succe^fful •» programs such as Crystal ; Lake's, are being contacted,^ and the thrust this year will very likely take the form of a, - study.

The general feeling was that, although it is not at present legal to charge a late payment fee, something could be written into the cooperative's rules providing some negative results for late payment.
