l»AGT<i» i'i AlNUEALER SCHOOL APPEALS * FOR NEW WELL (Continued from page 1) Department of Education. There was approval for two full in- service days to be utilized for parent- teacher conferences instead of four half-day sessions. The teachers also will use March 26 for a half-day in- service in team meetings for the pur­ pose of evaluating, updating and revising the instructional program. As a guideline, it was announced that 9.9 percent increase would be the average for the salaries of members of the classified and administrative staff President Gary Lockwood noted that this was slightly below the 10 percent the board had anticipated. William Landis was again appointed treasurer for the district, as well as its business manager. MUS+N' AND MEANDERiN' (Continued from page 1) Justens operated the big hotel, and the Bickler family held sway over the McHenry House. It was the Thonnesons who reminded us of the war effort during the 'forties with their tent factory on the northeast corner, near the old bridge. Also on the business block, Betty Nielsen sold some of the town's loveliest fashions, and down the street Andy Worwick brought out the beauty in everyone who stepped in front of his camera. There were others - many others. And the names we have recalled were not all in the McHenry business com­ munity of a particular era. They are just names of important people to the city's growth and prosperity at another time. Too often we forget them just as we neglect to recognize the contributions of the men and women who serve us today. KAF \ FRIDAY, JULY 10.1961 about billing. With trends at the federal level, they may depend more on client payments to finance their work in the future. . . He noted that third party billing, (insurance companies) has contributed to a dramatic increase in payments Tor service. Smith also pointed out their com­ paratively low hourly cost of face-to- face client service due to a large proportion of their hours devoted to such service as opposed to being used on administrative activities. Smith reported that there was good news and bad news about block grants for continued NIMH support in the federal administration's controversial budget. The U.S. Senate has passed a bill that would distribute mental health funds in "block grants" to states which would, in turn, distribute them to local agencies according to their criteria. Hie House of Representatives has approved a bill retaining the "systems act" features of funding in which the NIMH distributes the money directly to local mental health systems. The funding in the two bills ranges from $296 million to $246 million, Smith indicated. Now, committees from both houses must meet to reconcile the two measures for final passage, and Smith admitted that even the block grant provisions wouldn't hurt this county too much. He did think it would be a shame to phase out the "systems act" which was the result of years of research, study, work and thought, and he believed that local activities should be given a chance to succeed under the eight-year provisions of that act. Smith noted that as funding sources changed, if alternative money could not be found in sufficient quantities, it would mean shutting down some programs. With the five added years instead of the three, they might have made it, he siad. Smith suggested to the board that they, as members, and the program advocates contact Senator Charles Percy and other federal lawmakers to make known their feelings on this matter.

The representative from Pioneer center noted that many of that governing board opposed any charges, believing that it would discourage families from seeking aid, especially during the critical birth-to-three stage for devdopmentally disabled children. But she and other P and M members suggested that this fear had not been proven. X The board also asked each par­ ticipating agency in the system to advise the P and M board how mem­ bers feel about billing and collecting for services as it applies to them. Smith noted that the conditions of the federal government with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) grants require that mental health agencies bill for their services, but also that they must serve all who need it regardless of payment. The mental health board policy on payments resulted from a discussion of the annual "Biometry Report" and feedback from NIMH evaluators. The McHenry county system does not bill much and is low on collecting what is billed. Smith explained that this was partly due to the feeling among the agencies that the programs were largely tax supported and that charging patients would be like double billing. However, Smith added, following this inventory of the system's activities, the agencies will now have to think more to or nee in TOASTING TRIP TO HOMELAND (Continued from page 1) that an American citizen is abk even allowed to travel to the prov which he was born. The part of China to which he jour­ neyed is categorized as a restricted area. Contact with the "outside" world has been limited for many years. Tim stated he received V. I .

Battery charges face two McHenry residents involved in separate incidents reported this past week. McHenry police were called to a fight that had broken out at Vic's Tap, 3944 W. Main street, McHenry. When the police arrived, shouting and loud voices were heard and it was found that Daniel J. Schneidner, 21, of 5215 Orchard, McHenry, wanted to sign a battery complaint against Michael W. Zeller, 22, of 702 S. Route 31, McHenry. Zeller posted bond. The court date was set for July 16. In a separate incident, McHenry police responded to a report of a disturbance at 4822 Prairie, in Lakeland Park. Linda Hoffman, 29, of that address, told police that Christopher J. Hoffman, 31, had struck her with his fist. A battery complaint was signed. Hoffman posted bond. McHenry County Sheriffs.. police arrested Paul Brefeld, 22, of 401 W. Maple, McHenry, on a charge of disorderly conduct last Friday evening. The county police reported that Brefeld was found nude walking along the main road in Moraine Hills state park, on River road south of McHenry. According to police, Brefeld was unable to account for either his lack of clothing or how he arrived at the location. McHenry police responded to the Sportsman's Pub, at 3914 Main street, McHenry, where Janet Cicala, of 2614 Myang, McHenry, said someone broke the windshield of her car. The incident occurred at 11 p.m. July 3. Gravel Pit Bill To Governor A bill which would return control of zoning matters related to gravel pits to local governments has passed the Illinois Senate by a vote of 50 to 2, ac­ cording to 33rd District Rep. Richard Klemm. author of the bill. Earlier in the year, the House of Representatives passed the bill, HB- 134. by a strong margin of 127-24. Calling from the floor of the legislature in Springfield, Klemm said the bill was ushered through the Senate by Sen. Jack Schaffer, (R-Crystal Lake). The area representative noted that an Appellate court decision in 1978 wrested control of gravel pit operations, as related to zoning, from local govern­ ments The net effect was that a pit owner need only obtain a permit from the Illinois Environmental Protection agency and file a reclamation plan with the Department of Mines and Reclamation to begin operations. Klemm commented that local control of the mine operations would avoid situations such as locating the entrance to the pit next to a school, which almost occurred in McHenry county. "Local government control does not restrict the operations of the gravel pit (as the opponents have said)," Klemm stated. "It looks at the value and the need When I was on the county board, we did allow the gravel pit operations when they were appropriate." The bill now goes to the Governor's office, where he will either sign the bill into law or veto it. Rep. Klemm urged residents who support the bill to write the governor in support of HB-134.

Buch, of 8913 Evergreen, Wonder Lake, told McHenry police he was driving west on Route 120 when a red truck made a left turn in front of his vehicle.

The subcommittee is part of the {Work Program committee, and is responsible ,for updating the CATS regional plan- fhe Year 2000 Transportation Systems Development plan. Capt. Hugh S. McGinley, Corfrmander of Illinois State Police District 15, would like to offer vacation-bound motorists some safety tips to make their trips more enjoyable this summer. Now that the school year is coming to an end and motorists are planning their yearly trips to visit friends or relatives or to open that cabin in the country, don't overlook the vehicle that will deliver you there, your automobile. Some tips to help you on your trip are: Make sure your vehicle is well tuned before you start not only for depen­ dability but it will save you gasoline also. Check all your tires for splits, cracks and excessive wear. Make sure the spare tire is road worthy and holds air pressure. Chek headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and turning signals. Make sure the four way flashers work in case of an emergency. If you pull a boat, camper, or any type of utility trailer, check the wiring harness that operates the brake and tail lights. Remember, two safety chains must be used at all times in Illinois when pulling a trailer. Check all engine hoses and fan belts for wear and cracks. Make sure anti­ freeze level is full. Observe the posted speed limit, wear seat belts, and use child restraints at all times. Finally, make sure you know where you are going and how you are going to get there. If you are going a long distance split the driving time into two or more days. Truckers and other professional drivers are restricted to driving only 10 hours at a time. Capt. McGinley adds, "If we all take a little time before we start out on a vacation trip to consider some of these points it will make the summer more enjoyable for us all." Make Arrest In Incident At School I t - Ernest Malsch, of 5311 Barnard Mill road, Ringwood, was arrested by McHenry County Sheriff's police in connection with an incident at Ringwood school.
