\ PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY 12, 1979 ONE FILING FOR ALDERMAN (.Continued from page 1) The number of signatures needed on the nominating petitions varies according to the number of votes cast in the 1977 general election in each ward. Not less than 5 percent or more than 8 percent of the votes cast at that tame are needed. In the '77 election, 806 votes were cast in Ward One, 1.036 in Ward Two, 645 in Ward Three and 627 in Ward Four. The political action com­ mittee to be formed by the Chamber would be separate from the other Chamber committees and would have to determine regulations and i rules to govern itself. The Chamber is currently attempting to find prospective members for the committee. FORM PANEL ON ZONING AMENDMENTS (Continued from page 1) DRUG AWARENESS the passage of the ordinance.

C OF C FAVORS NEW POLITICAL ACTION GROUP (Continued from page 1) nolders to protect interests of the small businessmen. He listed the voting records of state legislators from the McHenry district, recently published in regard to laws affecting the business com­ munity. According to Shunick, State Representative Thomas Hanahan had the worst voting record of the area legislators, voting only 12 percent in favor of the business community. He mentioned Represen­ tative Cal Skinnner, Jr., at 70 percent, Representative Bruce Waddell at 89 percent, and State Senator Jack Schaefer at over 90 percent in faVor of the business community. But, Shunick reminded that the best place for a political action committee to be felt is at dty hall. He explained that it had the asiest access and was the best '• nown, with those in office well . nown to the business com- ' lunity. „ "Under the proposed or­ dinance, some property owners will find that the potential usage of their land has been restricted. By taking ad­ vantage of the opportunity to request reclassification at the McHenry county zoning public hearings, a property owner may be able to save both time and money," said Patt Mc­ Carthy, executive manager, Woodstock Chamber of Commerce. If the proposed ordinance will restrict the present usage of property, the property owner can petition at the public hearings on zoning in each township for reclassification. If the petition is granted, the reclassification will become part of the proposed zoning ordinance, eliminating the necessity of the property owner petitioning after the ordinance has been passed - a much more costly and time consuming process. "There is no way for property owners to determine if their land is affected by the zoning ordinance unless they take the initiative. We therefore urge all property owners to check the zoning maps at the county courthouse or in their township. If they find that the new classification of their land is more restrictive than the current classification they can appear at the public hearings on zoning and petition for reclassification of their land before the ordinance is passed," Ms. McCarthy said. "It is our understanding that at this time the Zoning Board of Appeals will grant con­ tinuances to hear these LENNOX HEATING & COOLING We are involved... * HEATING SYSTEM MAINTAINANCE * FURNACE SERVICING * HUMIDIFIER* ELECTRONIC AIR CLEANER INSTALLATION # LENNOX CONSERVATOR FURNACE INSTALLATION HONEYWELL NIGHT SET BACK THERMOSTATS *$ SAVING "FLAIR" FLUE DAMPER INSTALLATION FINANCING AVAILABLE (?evitKJoenH&i urATiair Akin rnni ikir SINCE 1931 HEATING AND COOLING A C«rM>*d LtHNOM Dealer 3511 S.

We suggest that property owners in a township that has already had a public hearing contact the Zoning board directly as to what procedure they should follow," Ms. McCarthy said. Under the.proposed zoning ordinance current allowed usage of a piece of land may be restricted thereby causing a possible depreciation in the value of the land. The only way the property owner can determine if his or her land is so affected is to check the zoning maps in the county courthouse or at the location of the public hearings in each township. "It is to the advantage of the property owner to clarify the allowed usage of their land at this time instead of waiting until after the ordinance has passed which could result in substantial costs and time delays," Ms. McCarthy said. MCC HOLDS ADULT EDUCATION CLASSES LOCALLY (Continued from page 1) small boat seamanship and beginning karate. Classes at St. John the Baptist convent in Johnsburg will include morning and af­ ternoon oil painting I and II courses and a Wednesday evening Yoga class. In addition to these courses, MCC will offer adult education classes at the college campus on Route 14, west of Crystal Lake, and a variety of other locations throughout the college district. • The college urges interested persons to sign up for courses by telephoning MCC and asking for phone registration. Registration begins Jan. 15. Most classes begin the week of Feb. 5. IMPLEMENT BUS SAFETY MEASURES (Continued from page 1) discuss anticipated growth of the area. Members were informed of thte increase in enrollment at Valley View school by 53 students since the beginning of the Fall term. There were also -increasesof 17 at Landmark, 11 at Parkland and 2 at junior high. Hilltop lost seven students and Edgebrook, 2. A discussion of the growth prompted one board member to suggest that an investigation be made into the {Jbssibility of securing two more portable classrooms. Another member said the administration also should ask to check into site possibilities for another school. On the recommendation of the administration, the board approved employing an oc­ cupational therapist to serve the district one day per week. The total cost to the district would be $1,615 per year, but would amount to $807.50 this year because the therapist would not begin services until January. Four other districts, in­ cluding Johnsburg, had ex­ pressed a similar interest. It was disclosed that thirty- nine students will be involved from the local schools in a program which involves the cooperation of school and family. The registered occupational therapist is a supportive ser­ vice, to children in hospital, residential or public education settings. In the public schools, the therapist is charged with improving a child's ability to perform tasks for independent functioning when functions are impaired, or preventing, through early intervention, initial or further impairment or loss of function precipitated by illness, injury or deprivation. The regular annual school board election was announced for Saturday, April 14, when three members of the board will be elected. Filing dates are Feb. 28 to March 23, inclusive, Ballot positions for all can­ didates who present their petitions, at 8:30 a.m. on the first filing date will be deter­ mined by lot in a public drawing at 4 p.m. on the last day for withdrawing can­ didacy, which is March 27. Filing hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday at the central administration building, Main street. The date of the business meeting next month was changed from Feb. 13 to Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. in the ad-„ ministration office on Main street. * Member Tim Althoff questioned an electric bill in excess of $6,000 for a two-month period at Parkland school. Business Manager William Landis said he had called the manufacturer of the regulators and heating engineers in an effort to correct a problem in which there is a big disparity in temperatures in the various rooms of the school. Althoff noted that a new state law requires a 10 percent fresh air exchange at all times compared to the former requirement of 20 percent. This, he felt, might result in a savings. Frances Larsen was nominated to represent the local district on the SEDOM executive board. Dan DeRoche and David Cain were named to represent the administration and board of education, respectively, on the SEDOM board. Board action Tuesday allows the administration to proceed with plans for the acquisition of 1978 tax anticipation warrants proceeds in the Education fund. From three bids, the board approved Mutual of New York Insurance company as the low bidder meeting all specifications to furnish group health and life and A.D.&D. insurance plans. Acting on the personnel report, Joanna Marchese was employed as a bus driver and Carmen Fields as an aide at junior high. Jeanne Soling, second grade teacher at Edgebrook, was granted a leave starting March 26. • » • • The good old days were rare in the good old days. ! buFlding } : EVENING DINNER HOURS...

It was with a feeling of pride, and some relief, that the Johnsburg school board and Supt. Duane Andreas reviewed the success of the Jan. 7 dedication of the high school at Tuesday night's meeting. Appreciation for the cooperation of the faculty, the Parent Teacher organization, . and the students in showing the school to the visiting public was expressed The interest and attendance of people out of the district was also noted. The design of the cafetorium, with its three-step-dowri level, still fulfills its original purpose of providing flexibility and aesthetic value to the area. However, people not ac­ customed to the arrangement, are walking into the room, and may step off unexpectedly. The board entertained several suggestions but needs further study in order to determine what will do the job without changing the original plan too greatly. The failure of the sub­ mersible pump that gave the high school students an early day and a half of Christmas vacation has been remedied. A plan to meet the situation should it reoccur came down to a decision of buying an ex­ pensive pump to have on hand or to use a temporary pump in an existing shallow alternat! well. The latter plan was adopted. Since the last board meetings the high school clubs have come up with 3 model policy and constitution^ which was accepted by the^board. Final board policy on bomb scare and bomb threat procedures and on administrative attendance at national conventions were also accepted. School organizations and faculty members know that if trips are planned, they need to be budgeted for in advance. It was interesting to note that even though a national board convention planned for Miami in April was highly recom­ mended, the board ruled it out this year because it was not in the budget. Steve Pollack, Vocational director, reported that an important meeting was scheduled Jan. 17 at .the Timbers for the McHenry County Area Career center Several options will be con­ sidered that may determine the life or the death of the center At this time Johnsburg has tuition students attending the Lake County Area vocational Education center and has an option of buying in to become a full fledged member of that center. Pollack also reported on the value of the school joining the National Association Exchange of Industrial Resources. It is a not-for-profit organization that informs schools - when in­ dustries are willing to donate materials they can dispose of for tax purposes. A recent acquisition of a closed circuit TV, a 1971 Ford Torino, and of 12 battery chargers sounded impressive. Rob Gough, assistant prin­ cipal, noted that the students who wftuld be eligible for early (seven semesters) graduation had been screened. Nineteen students may be able to take advantage of this Dolicv in order to start college early or to earn money for entry next fall. Board President Boak inquired about the morale in high school. Administrators suggested polling the two students and three teachers present. Since it is not natural for high school students to enthuse about school, it was satifying to find that the students thought things were "getting better". Since the level of the noise in the faculty room (complaints) is considered a measurement of the interest and vitality of the teacherT the board was pleased to note;that the faculty is still speaking--all at once! The next school board meeting will be held at Bush school Jan. 23. Johnsburg Schedules First Dinner-Theater Johnsburg high school's first dinner-theater production, "Summertree", is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Jan. 19-20. "Summertree", a drama written during the Vietnam war years, concerns lack of com­ munication between people and the consequences thereof. Dinner will be served at 6 p.m. in the school's cafetorium; curtain time is 8 p.m. in the auditorium. The food service class will prepare and serve the dinner. Dinner reservations are being taken at the high school (385-9233). Senior citizens may take advantage of a special discount. Persons wishing to attend the theater only may purchase tickets at the door. Senior citizens will be admitted free. School Drama Club In Prize Winning Play McHenry High School Drama club will present "The Glass Menagerie", Tennessee Williams' prize-winning play, at 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Jan. 11-13, in the West campus library. The play, which includes only four characters, was chosen as the finest play of the 1944-45 season by the New York Drama Critics' Circle. It played on Broadway for a year and a half. Amanda Wingfield, the "mother, will be played by Sandy Fuller. Amanda is"^a woman who was raised in the South and who lives jn a world of fantasy about her girlhood as the "belle of the ball" to protect herself from the grim reality that her husband left her and their two children. She tries to mold her children into the glorified image she has of the family. Laura, the daughter, will be played by Kathy Merrick. Laura is extremely shy because of a deformed foot and not equal to reality. She lives in a dream world which centers around her collection of glass figurines, particularly a glass unicorn. Derek Gilbert plays Jim, the gentleman caller. He is invited to the Wingfield apartment by Laura's brother at the in­ sistence of Mrs. Wingfield, who dreams that Laura will soon have dozens of "gentlemen callers". The young man is very kind to Laura but is engaged to another girl. The fourth character in the play is Tom Wingfield, Laura's brother, who is played by Peter Bender. Tom is a dreamer and writer of poetry, although he works at a dreary job in a shoe factory. His secret ambition is to escape his mother's fantasy world and travel. Tickets for the play are available at East and West campus and will be sold at the door. Auto Service Tips Snow tires are a good invest­ ment in areas of frequent snow­ fall, providing traction on wet, snowy roads. Be sure to have tires balanced when you add snow treads and remember that proper inflation is essential for longer tire ware and maximum traction. Tires lose pressure more rapidly during winter, thus need more frequent checking.
