Summer School & Director Named Pictured above is Donald Toole, principal at McHenry Junior high school, who will be director of Summer School in District 15. Summer school classes will be held at Edgebrook and McHenry Junior high schools. Registration began May 5 and will end June 2. Those students who plan to attend should register as early as possible. Reinforcement and enrichment courses have been planned. Definite objectives for these courses have been derived as well as plans to travel to nearby cultural centers. There will be no tuition for these courses and only a small fee to cover materials, not to exceed $3. Free transportation will be provided for all students attending summer school classes. This year's summer program will be state supported, which means that the community will not have to bear the cost of this operation. The pre-registration which took place recently is not to be confused with the final registration, for which a form appeared as part of the brochure sent home with District 15 children. Fraudulent Operation Of Firm Investigated The discovery that last week's death of a deer on Rt. 120 and Thompson road was not accidental, prompted Game Warden James Vavra to disclose other interesting but sad facts on deer and their demise locally. In removing the animal from his car last week, Vavra found that it had been shot, once with a shot gun pellet and then with a slug, frightening it onto the highway, where it was hit by a car and killed. Apparently this is deer country, for statistics in 1971 revealed 73 (33 bucks and 40 does) killed by cars- in McHenry county last year. This compares to 13 in Lake county and 18 in Kane county which contributed to the toll for the entire state of 1,312. Vavra attributes the more rural area hereabouts, together with improved country roads and faster speeds, for the in­ creased kill. He added that if the truth were known, the toll in this county probably would run in excess of 100, since he is convinced many of the smaller deer are stolen after being struck. Animal lovers have been particularly perturbed over the fact that roaming packs of dogs result in a high kill. According to Vavra, dogs are the most feared enemy of deer. He said these dogs are many times released in the country by city folks who no longer want them. Eventually they form packs in search of food. Two weeks ago dogs chased a doe onto Rt. 31, below the Terra Cotta hill, and at this point it was hit and killed by a car. A companion deer continued across the countryside to the Crystal Lake blacktop, still persued by dogs, where it, too, was killed on the road. Both animals were carrying twins, which died. Vavra urges residents to be alert for anyone discharging a dog from a car, and to notify the police at once. In his effort to preserve wildlife, he also cautioned drivers to use care when en­ countering squirrels on the road, especially at this time of year. He recalls plaintive cries from between 5 and 7 "babies" from a nest in the tree every time the life of a mother squirrel is snuffed out. Animal lovers will find one heartwarming note to this rather depressing account of the death of wildlife. Vavra received a report from the sheriff's office that a deer was killed on the Crystal Lake blacktop, near Hillside road, recently. When the game warden arrived, a driver had stopped and asked if he could take the deer. The request was denied, and Vavra started to place the prostrate deer on the trunk when he detected a heart beat. The animal was taken to the home of Bob Kapus nearby, where a goat barn was cleared especially for the unconscious deer. the next day it showed a bit (^Continued on page 16) City and county authorities in McHenry county have joined Lake Forest police and the state's attorney's office in investigating fraudulent operations of a photography firm in Lake Forest. Numerous complaints have been turned in, including many from this community, stating that Lake Forest Studios failed to make deliveries of pictures. When several attempts were made to contact the owners to no avail, an investigation in­ dicated that the address was given of a vacant house. Lake Forest police reported complaints of a similar nature from others who were vic­ timized by the firm. Detective Walker called it a "fly-by- night" operation which has been passing bad payroll checks. It is believed there is suf­ ficient information in the hands of the state's attorney to charge the couple involved with fraud. Police Chief Kenneth Espey warned residents to check with the city before signing any contracts or making any payments to out-of-town firms soliciting in the community. Subdivisions Move For Maintenance Of Roads Representatives of six of McHenry county's Nunda township subdivisions voted May 8 to establish the Nunda Subdivision council, an organization dedicated to lobbying for township takeover of road maintenance within the subdivisions. "We will be utilizing every legal and political means available to bring road maintenance to our residents", said Robert Powell, president of Holiday Hills Property Owners association - and temporary chairman of NSC. "Pressure will be placed on county board of supervisors members, particularly those of District 2, and township of­ ficials to bring this about", Powell continued. Following the meeting, Powell noted: "This is an ac­ tivist organization. We will not hesitate to resort to demon- Campus Plans Continue MCC Works strations and picketing until such action is taken whereby our roads are regularly maintained. Some of our subdivision residents have been paying property taxes for up to 50 years, yet no road help has been forthcoming from county or township government." O t h e r s u b d i v i s i o n s represented at the meeting were Porten's, Fernwood, Rimas and Griswold Lake Hills. Ed Hughes, Nunda township Republican committeeman, endorsed the subdivision's action. Powell stated that this first meeting of NSC was held at the home of Frank Borowki, president of Griswold Lake Hills subdivision. The next meeting will be held at 8 p.m. June 12 at the Rvierview tavern, 906 Walter Porten road in Porten's sub­ division. Toward Bid Date McHenry County college has been given approval to work toward an early bid date for construction of a new per­ manent campus. The State of Illinois Task Force for College Construction, at a meeting May 11, reviewed the architectural schematics with the architects, Bob Hackworthy, Clint Mochon and Larry Schutte; College board members James J. Harrington III, Gerald Smith, Miriam Miller, Robert Weid- ner, Barbara Pautz, Dr. William Ryan and College staff members Dr. James R. Davis and John Garrett, together with members of the press. The purpose of the meeting was to determine changes to be made in adapting the plans to the new site, the revisions in educational program, and the revised state guidelines. The initial construction project will include ap­ proximately 120,000 square feet of space to house vocational, technical, science, general classroom, student center and library facilities in one building, plus some 20,000 square feet of space in another building to house agricultural and heavy technical laboratories. The Task Force review in­ cluded numerous construction analyses and recommendations for study. The basic structural layout was described as ef­ fective for flexibility and phasing. Specific recom­ mendations for study included the following: 1. Direct exit egress from the lower floor. 2. Hieher ceilings in heavy (Continued on page 16) THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER "SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION SINCE 1875 ROMAN A. SCHMITT Roman A.

School Considers Driver Education Salary Increase Plans For Park Shelter Viewed By City Council Chemist At OSU National Science Award To Former McHenry Man The award, a $1,000 prize, was given Schmitt in recognition of his "pioneering work on analytical techniques far determination of the rare dements in meteorites." Schmitt is the second scientist to receive the award, named in honor of an in­ ternationally-known geochemist who died in 1929. The first presentation was made in 1970. Schmitt pioneered in tfie~late 1950s development of a technique -- radio-chemical neutron activation analysis -- fa* determining abundances of 14 rare earth elements in meteorites. The technique, which has since been modified, is used in Schmitt's moon rock studies. It is also used by scientists elsewhere to analyze and quantify trace elements and by law enforcement officials in analyzing and "Finger­ printing" of physical evidence. Schmitt's original use of neutron activiation analysis was in determining rare earth abundances in 19 meteorites. It provided the first reliable data on rare earths available for (Continued on page 16) A variety of business came before the Tuesday meeting of the board of High School District 156. However, because three members were absent, action on several items was postponed until the June meeting. Of importance was the request from driver education teachers to raise their present hourly rate of pay for teaching the summer classes. At this time, regular driver education teachers are paid $5.50 per hour, while extra summer teachers receive $4.75. Justification for the increase was given by the teachers on two points: 1) state reim­ bursement (beginning Sep­ tember, 1971) raised from $40 to $50 per students; 2) there has been no increase since 1968, while several surrounding schools are higher. They pointed to the $7 per hour rate for Wa uc on da, $6.67 for Crystal Lake and $7.50 for Woodstock The local teachers requested an increase to $7 for current regular teachers and $5.50 for extra summer help. The administration indicated that while driver education is most important, and the quality of instruction on the part of the staff is regarded highly, a recommendation for approval of the request could not be made^ Present driver education costs were listed as $34,750 for salaries; $3,003.59 for tuition and $6,956.74 for supplies and summer salaries. State aid for 1970-71 was $19,232. Board members were thus made aware that the program is not nearly self-supporting. However, it was explained that these teachers are not paid equally with other summer school staff members. The latter rate ranges from $5 per hour for no summer school experience to $5.25 for one year, $5.50 for two years and $5.75 for three years. The recommendation was to adopt the same schedule for all teachers. Action was tabled until the full board is present. The board did approve a request from Fred Kusch for a two-day student exchange with South Shore high school in Chicago. Twenty East campus Total Independent Study Gifted students were scheduled to visit the Chicago school Thursday, May 18, and twenty freshmen students from South Shore will be hosted at East campus May 22. The costs are covered through the Gifted program. The board members present studied letters of resignation from area chairmen and recommendations for the appointment of replacements. G. Be ling, Humanities at West campus; M. Browdy, assistant at West campus; B. Blankenhom, Applied Arts at East campus; and Don Sea ton, assistant, East campus, sent resignations. Recommended replacements are Miss Cynthia Smith for Beling; Gary Collins for Blankenhorn; Ken Swanson for Browdy; and A. Strumbris for Seaton Previously, these positions have received no remuneration, but a recom­ mendation was made for $250 each. Action was postponed until June. Mrs. Barbara Reid was employed to replace Patricia Nowell as secretary to the director of transportation. John Risko, who comes to McHenry highly recommended from School District 47 in Crystal Lake, was employed as (Continued on page 16) President Donald Weingart of the McHenry Rotary club appeared before the City Council Monday night to show plans for a new shelter to be erected in the city park.
