Crystal Lake, 111. 60014, 815- •155-0309. Senator Schaffer concluded, "The input we receive at the April 30 hearing will, in a very large way, determine whether or not these bills will go forward and whether they should be further amended to reflect additional ideas, concerns or suggestions of area residents. It is my sincere hope that everyone who cares about the Chain of Lakes-Fox river will make an attempt to attend." MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from pog* 1) Another remembered how each family was assigned a particular day of the week to bring a hot lunch for the entire school. The meals would be heated at noon on a kerosene stove. Water was obtained from the Bassett farm to the east of the school. Students walked to the farm to pump water from a well. With some seriousness, several recalled the day a rabbit hunter in back of the school took poor aim. A shotgun pellet entered the window and struck Mr. Phalin in the chest but he was uninjured. Even in the rural setting, there was little place in a mowed section to play baseball. This was usually done in the front yard and any balls that were mishit rolled onto the gravel road. This caused little concern because traffic was no problem in the year 1921. Two years later the cement road was put in place. Other games that kept the students busy during recess were anti-over the school and pom pom pullaway. There was some difficulty in arranging teams that were fair because of the diversity of ages. Some classes may have had one or two pupils; others had none. Graduation was an important day in the early twenties. Under direction of the county superintendent of schools, a date was set when all rural school ranipus ni'IumiI to In* presented thru- diplomas. For his role as teacher of eight gr-adcs, starter of fires, director of recreation, and the holder of many other titles, the 1921 teacher was compensated with a check in the amount of $75 each moth. Phalin recalled that it was then he started his bank account in McHenry - - No. 9 - which he maintains today even though he served as a director of a Chicago area bank for many years. This is an example of hometown loyalty which recurred in conversat­ ion time and again during last week's award banquet. It is a quality a teacher shared with his pupils, whose own loyalty was evident by their presence. Few occasions have brought such heartwarming response as this reunion of aimost 62 years. It was a personal tribute to one whose absence in no way diminished his feeling for the community he still calls home. KAF $74,000 COST CUTS AT MCHS (Continued from page J) will be affected by these measures has been notified. We feel that taking action on these measures will not impact on the services and programs that we currently offer the students." He added, "Not everyone agrees." President Edward Neumann commended the administration for presenting reductions which would have a "minimum effect on the educational program". In other action, the board approved a $70,263 purchase to replace three school buses. A $46,752 contract for three 65-passenger school bus chassis was awarded to high bidder Buss Ford of McHenry. The Buss price was $15,584 per unit compared to low bidder Schmerler Ford's bid of $15,517. Robert Anderson, transportation committee chairman, cited "keeping the business with a local firm" and the total difference of only $201 between the lowest and highest bid as reasons for going with Buss Ford. Transportation Director Fred Goering noted that the local dealer's scrvu'c had always lieen satisfactory. Tlie iMKird concurred with An­ derson. The contract for three bus bodies was awarded to low bidder Midwest Transit Equipment for $23,511. Contracts were also awarded for equipment for the Aircraft Building program. They included: Richmond Welding, $801.60; Satco-Satterlee, $673; and Snap-on Tools, $568.62 - a total of $2,043.22 Tile for the Building Trades house was ordered from Tidy Rug Co., Woodstock at $554.94, and a contract for carpeting for the house was given to City Wide Carpet Company, McHenry in the amount of $1,692.80^ Also, bus transportation for the junior-senior prom at Wagon Wheel Resort in Rockton, 111. on April 30 and May 1 was okayed. After an executive session the board voted to expel two East campus students. One was expelled for the possession and sale of drugs, and the other, for breaking and entering a parked car at the McCraeken field parking lot. COUNCIL ADOPTS BUDGET (Continued from pago 1) coming in at about 12.5 percent over the projection. Mayor Joseph Stanek shared financial concerns with Datz. He said, "Two years of deficit budgeting has caught up with us. I don't see the economy turning around like everyone says it is." The subject of employee pay raises brought vocal support from Aid. Ray Smith (3rd), but little from anywhere else. Noting the developer donation fund, which has $123,000 for park expenses, Smith said the city should not have a fund so flush and then say they're broke. Pepping commented that the developer donation fund had money set aside for parks, schools and library, as required by law, and should not be used for on-going ex­ penses because the fund's income was not steady. "If we are so hard up that we can only afford to give the police a five Ihto'i11 raisi*. and I In* public works and city clerk's office two percent, then I have to ask why?" Smith said. Smith continued to say that he thought there was at least room for five percent for all departments. "The first thing we have to do is take care of our working men," Smith said. Pepping said that in looking at wage increases, if any, the committee compared salaries to those in Crystal Lake and Woodstock, as well as those in county private business. "Looking at Public Works em­ ployees, they are fairly compensated in terms of the county and other communities. It is no secret that a lot of businesses are not giving raises and some are asking employees to take cuts," Pepping said. "From a benefit viewpoint, city employees are far ahead and from a salary viewpoint, they are extremely comparable." Smith said he did not like to com­ pare McHenry to other municipalities, arguing that the city should provide facilities and services at the bare minimum cost and pay their help weH. The council vbted unanimously to approve the budget. The council passed a resolution seeking Federal Aid Urban (FAU) funds for intermittent road resur­ facing. Aid. Cecilia Serritella (4th) expressed dissatisfaction at not being notified of the proposal. She is a member of the Streets and Sidewalks committee. Mayor Stanek said time was of the essence and commented that the committee would not have understood it anyway. Committee chairman, Aid. Smith, rebuked Stanek for his choice of words and suggested the matter be held. Stanek agreed that it was a poor choice of words and reiterated the time constraints. The resolution had to be passed at the Monday night meeting. In other business: --Revenue Sharing allocations for the $61,312 are as follows: $20,000 for mosquito abatement, $35,000 for police radios and $6,312 for police squad cars. Other requests for funds from the McHenry Area Rescue Squad, Youth Service Bureau, McHenry Public Library, Kaster Seals, McHenry Beautification committee and the McHenry County Historical Society were denied. --The council approved wage restructuring and progression raises by a unanimous vote. --A proposal to change the em­ ployee's insurance deductible from $100 to $200 was approved. Pepping said the city saved money in premiums even after giving each employee $100 a year to offset the change. --The council added the position of "foreman" in the Public Works department to the supervisory level. --Hie number of summer band concerts was set at eight by a unanimous vote of the council. --'The council voted to approve the flood insurance study to retain eligibility for subsidized flood in­ surance. --The council put on the tecoru an acknowledgment of the Tonyan In­ dustrial park zoning and subdivision regulations which are governed by an annexation agreement with the for­ mer Village of McHenry Shores. --The council approved final payment of $10,059.89 for the Meadow lane resurfacing project and $3,520 for grass seeding at Knox park. I firemen to 3205 Stillhill in McHenry Shores where a gas leak was reported. Bennett said a youngster inadvertantly pulled the the gas connector from the badi of a gas range, letting raw gas fill the house. After shutting of! the gas supply, smoke ejectors were used to clear the house. "They were very fortunate," Bennett said, noting the potentially explosive situation.

HfM GIVES OBSERVATIONS (Continued from page 1) developer is going to express an in­ terest. "Does the council know what alternatives and incentives it can offer, where it has to stand firm, without a long, drawn out hearing?" Gelwicks asked. "You have to get involved with the EDC (Economic Development Commission) and decide how you're going to handle a developer. Talk now. Don't wait." Voicing a second concern, Gelwicks said that when a request from the citizenry is made, the answer is left in committee. Too often, he said, the matter is sent to committee and left there, unless pried out by a concerned citizen. "The residents deserve a timely answer," he said. He expressed gratitude to those city officials and employees who assisted him in his three months in office. FLAMES DAMAGE HOME (Continued front page 1) some of whom went into the burning structure four times. The department was on location nearly three hours before the clean-up was completed. Later in the day, the fire department was also called to two grass fires, one at Moraine Hills state park and one along McCullom Lake road, which were quickly extinguished. The next day, another alert sent Co. mr An autopsy was conducted Sunday and the coroner's office said it is awaiting reports before determining cause of death. McHenry County Sheriff's police were assisted in the death in­ vestigation by Harvard police. Police were informed shortly after 1 a.m. Sunday by passing motorists that Lehman was observed lying on the ground near a vehicle. When police arrived, the victim was inside the vehicle on the front seat. Information developed by police revealed that Lehman and Riley were seen together earlier in Harvard. Riley was arrested at the scene where Lehman was found on Schultz road, police said. "We received a lot of cooperation from Harvard police and Rescue squad, and the citizens in the area were great," Chief Deputy Sheriff George Hendle said.
