There are wide streets, and crossing any one of them on foot can be ac­ complished without anticipating catastrophic consequences to life and limb. Drivers can get behind the wheel on the same streets and have reasonable assurance they will get from here to there! without jarring the nerves and producing ulcers. Everyone with even a smattering of knowledge about softhall becomes a fan and goes to the park atthe edge of town to cheer a favorite team after supper. Lights? They have them, wrt in June the sun dips so late that its rejected light remains until almost everyone is too tired to play. Some of that Hl remained as the curfew sounded at 10 o'clock. "You can't go back!" is the cry heardp for years. That all depends on where you are going. We went back after 30 years and in one small Minnesota town found something we once treasured in McHenry Unfortunately, we have joined our urbanized friends in leaning heavily on the sophistication that comes with growth In honesty, we could not go back to stay, but what we found was a mingling of yesterday and today that provided us with memories of McHenry at another PROGRESS IN RIVER SAFETY (Continued from page 1) also a law against littering, but the ^offense is classified only as a misdemeanor. He said his fleet was logging a lot of hours on the water, and occasionally riding with his crews were officers from the state Department of Conservation. Meyers expressed displeasure with calls from complainants who refuse to give their names. He said they wouldn't publicize the caller but wanted something substantial to work with, and they couldn't call back an anonymous caller. Meyers said there are no speed limits on the river and aside from enforcing or teaching safe operation, there is little they can do bout that now. and Novak urged federation members to contact state officials and legislators, preferably by letters, about needec changes in laws to limit wakes, bridae pier lights, dredging, and disbursing of boat registration money Nokak explained briefly his operation of tne McHenry dam and locks and his control of the Algonquin dam His honrs. in season, are from 8 a m to 12 pym He has ncenforcement powers but ?nds on the sheriff for all needed Assistance State statutes places enforcement, /powers of the boating act with tl 'Conservation department. Novak urgf property owners to keep pressure on the legislators so that they could con­ tinue to receive material to mark the channels The Fox is one river in the state which is authorized for channel marking There have been pressures from the Conservation department against channel marking, and if the year should go by without completing it this marking might be phased out. Novak warned. He suggested that concerned people could write to Ken Gruenewald, boating law administrator. Department of Conservation, 605 Stratton building. Springfield, 111. 62706, or to Senator .lack Schaffer or Rep. Jill Zwick Correspondence is better than phone calls. Novak said, because it gives officials something to wave in the face of the legislature. Novak explained how the river level is determined and noted there is no magic point at which it can be predicted that erosion will occur Complaints from shore owners are one deciding factor He furnishes the information to the sheriff, who then makes the determination to close the river due to high water if needed to preserve property or lift1 and limb He urged call<yK) the McHenry Dam office and gave/ne number as 385-2808.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Johnsburg Stymied On Conference Alignmen bv Nancy Wells Dr. Duane Andreas, superintendent of Johnsburg Unit District 12, told board members at the last meeting that three month's work on a possible conference alignment for 1982-83 "did not bear fruit." The proposed "Umbrella PlanT was conceived to solve the shifting problems of the Shark conference, which consisted of only five schools this year and faces the loss of Hononegah, the largest school, to a Rockford con­ ference. Marian Central may also leave the Shark in consideration of returning to the North West Catholic Suburban conference. These two schools, however, will remain with the Shark for the 81-82 seasons The "Umbrella Plan" proposed to include the Big Fight (composed of seven schools), the Trailblazer (composed of six schools), and the Shark (remaining () into one cooperative group < note that one or two schools would have to be added), which would create three six team con­ ferences The game plan would be to have football aligned on the basis of school size within the "umbrella". Other sports, however, would be aligned according to geography (to save gas) and along natural rivalry lines Many administraters felt that the plan had merit, but Dr. Andreas said. "We could not get a consensus. There were too many complications. Perhaps we were^Vear too early." Since the "umbrella" was not ac­ cepted. Johnsburg. along with Marengo and Harvard, have decided to explore other options. Johnsburg has been invited to join the North West Suburban conference to replace Stevenson. This conference contains only one other school with under 1,000 students and there is some concern that joining it may be too strenuous for football. The decision must be made by Sept. 1. Other options included: 1-joining the Big Eight. 2-being independent; 3- .Johnsburg. Marengo and Harvard joining the NWC Further meetings are being planned by the three schools to discuss the Sharks future. In a position of funds statement, Pat Bingman. business manager, said 15 percent of the tax money has been received and invested at 16-18 percent interest "Our situation is much im­ proved from this time last year," said Dr. Andreas. "We have achieved our objectives We've balanced the budget though it took cuts to do it." He also said it helps to have taxes come in two months earlier. The board discussed the current letter putting all McHenry county schools on probation because of last fall's evaluation of SEDOM by the Illinois State board of Education. It was the first indepth evaluation of the,speetal education district that could be recalledNby either Dr Andreas or MiKe\DeWoPfe, Pupil Personnel Ser­ vices director. "The state is checking to see if people are doing what they »y they are doing," said DeWolfe. The state cited the county on several counts of lack of proper personnel (administrative) certification and noncompliance with rules concerning programing and services. The county has one year to rectify the conditions in order to regain official recognition status Other than paying the bills, no action was taken in open session. After executive session, the board accepted the resignation of Judy Cammelot. high school home economics teacher, and Katie Meier, speech teacher Mr Quick, building trades teacher, was given the "green" light on the "passive" solar house to be built next year A $1,000 grant has been received from the Natural Resource agency for the employment of technical con­ sultation The board will be looking at plans for the solar project at the next meeting later this month. The solar house, classified as "passive", will have no mechcanical parts pertaining to its solar capabilities.
