MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued From Page 1) Her challenge may never have been met, but we do know , that wastes in education, like wastes in most other endeavors on a large scale, have become a way-of-life in 1975 that have been accepted. Maybe we're wrong, but we believe some of the Christmas that was stolen may have been taken from educators in high places rather than from the children. KAF COUNTY BpARD DENIES CHAPEL HILL GRAVEL PIT (Continued From Page 1) asked to do what lje_c«|D on a public relations basis to make subdivisions aware of the Civil Defense program and what the sheriff's auxiliary police program entails. It was the belief of the committee that this would be a benefit to sub­ divisions in keeping the crime rate down. Committee Chairman G. William Hubbard noted that local citizens are involved with the sheriff's auxilairy program without compenasation, and they are deputized. He said the sheriff's activity and that of Civil Defense should be separated. It was pointed out that Civil Defense has no jurisdiction in legal en­ forcement. Shay,-who was present at Tuesday's meeting, assured the board that he was well aware of the C D. limitation. "Our role is totally ad­ ministrative", Shay observed, "and we ask the sheriff for help when needed. We have nothing to do with law enforcement". Later, Sheriff Tyrrell was asked if he felt there is a con­ flict between his office and Civil Defense in this area, and he assured members there is no problem. On another topic, Thomas Huemann of McHenry asked the sheriff if anyone was found guilty in connection with the incident at the Johnsburg Saufen und Spiel Fest last summer. He said it was the opinion of most residents, through reports in the newspaper, that the matter had been dropped. Tyrrell said he thought two or three had been found guilty of starting the incident in a bench trial, but there were no in­ dictments by the Grand jury. Willis Simms asked him if it might be possible to station a radar squad car on Bay rqad because of numerous com­ plaints of speeding and reckless driving. The sheriff said he had been made aware of the situation and a radar car is now patrolling that location. In response to information that the Public Safety com­ mittee had requested in regard to the adult drug problem, Tyrrell made public to the board a letter on the subject. In conclusion, it read: "Our findings of the adult drug problem is that although it may be a psychological and physiological problem within our adult range, it is not, to any degree, a criminal problem". \ In the area of appointments, 1$oard Chairman Walter Dean announced that a committee on committees will convene Jan. 9 for the purpose of appraising his list of standing committee appointments. He announced the special group will have as members Cal Skinner, George Lowe, Jr., Harold Freese, Edward Buss, Ronald Morris and Ross A. Kitchen. When the names were an­ nounced, the Rev. Marx Jones, a board member, commented that a District I meeting had been held and one member favored for a spot on the committee on committees was not included on Dean's list. Dean responded that these were the men he depended on to assess his selection. He said he will announce the standing committees at the March meeting. The board gave its okay to issue and sell, as needed, an­ ticipation warrants in an amount not to exceed $527,236 against the Illinois Municipal Retirement fund, arid $338,383 against the County Mental Health fund. In no event can the warrants issued exceed 75 per cent of the amount of the ap­ propriation tax levied for the year 1975. A financial report disclosed that $120,000 more was ex­ pended last year by the county than was received in revenue. The Rev. Jones, chairman of the Zoning- committee, was asked why the Zoning Board of appeals does not require new subdivisions to make donations to school districts. In his response, Rev. Jones said districts had been requested to arrive at a formula for fair and equal donations but to date, none had been submitted for the Zoning committee to act on. Chairman Dean said it was his opinion the state statutes would not allow the county to act on this problem. He con­ tinued, "I believe the County board should request the Legislature to pass a law.so this will w permissible. The Rev. Jones said the Zoning and Planning com­ mittee will meet with the Legislative committee on these problems. Announcement was made that federal and state officials will meet concerning in­ formation on the bridge to be constructed north of the city in connection with the new federal highway. Blueprints are available in Chicago and Springfield which will be viewed by the County Highway department and Tran­ sportation committee. Problems will be referred to the Illinois and federal highway departments. One matter for concern is the requirement that the bridge should be built with a 10-foot clearance above the normal water level of the river. Some board members questioned whether this is high enough. The question of whether to lease or purchase office equipment led to a lengthy discussion. At its conclusion, members decided to state that they would lease the equipment with an option to buy. A resolution was approved regarding a McHenry County Local Improvement project that calls for a study to determine the interest of residents in Huemann and Stilling subdivisions in a special assessment project concerned with road im­ provement. A resolution was adopted, to be sent to members of the Illinois delegation to the U.S. Congress, supporting the continued General Revenue Sharing by the federal government with local government. McHenry township was alloted $3,063.28 from Motor Fuel tax funds paid into the state Treasury during October. This covers 74.21 miles, the largest of any township in the county.

FLOCKED Centerpieces $349 EXPENDITURE PRIORITIES STUDIED (Continued From Page 1) gave its approval for the use ot school buses by adults, in keeping with a board policy statement on that use. The policy was developed by Supt. Richard Swantz, assisted by the Transportation depart­ ment. Benrud asked if this might be considered competition with private business. He was in­ formed that the only local bus operator had not complained, and there was agreement that should there ever be a scheduled bus route, the school will not offer competition. This clarification resulted in unanimous approval. The procedure states that high school buses will be made available to the adult public of the district who are attending recreational, cultural, educational and public service programs organized and sponsored by the high school. The school will make a charge for this transportation in an amount equal to the cost, which will include a reasonable allowance for insurance premiums and depreciation of the vehicles used. Another portion of the statement states that the board must reserve the right to deny the use of the buses for any purpose it feels is not consistent with the best interest of the schools and community. The approval of Gerry Gudauskas to fill the position of district placement officer through June 30 was approved following a discussion of that appointment. Tom Joynt, director of in­ structional services, explained to the board the manner in which a selection was made. Interested persons were sought, from which the field was narrowed to three and Gudauskas was chosen. Neumann said it was his feeling the person chosen would have been better to have come from the business sector than from education. To this ob­ servation, Joynt agreed, but said it was difficult to find someone willing to fill a position that extended only until next June 30. -Jji conclusion, Joynt observed tnft, "I know everyone will be satisfied with our choice". Approval was given to the appointment of Jim Meeker to serve as East campus coun­ selor, replacing Gudauskas for the remainder of this school year. Meeker has served in the district as instructional aide for the past three years. The resignation of Mrs. Terry Finken as Business Education instructor at East campus and girls' basketball coach was accepted, effective Feb. 14. Mrs. Finken resigned due to the relocation of her husband's employment. The board approved a Title III ESEA adoption agreement following selection of the local district to participate with Quincy high school in th< "Education , by Choice program. The quarterly report on at­ tendance gave a 94.5 per cent attendance record for fresh­ men and 94 per cent for sophomores, amounting to an East campus average of 94.25 per cent. The average daily attendance was 1,068.09, with an enrollment of 1,137.97.
