An impatient driver behind car "A" passes on the right, in the shoulder where he should not be in the first place At the same instant, car "B" makes his move. CRASH! . "I didn't see him/' won't straighten bent fenders. This same situation is responsible for a lot of the accidents that happen on Route 120. The Sheriff's department has designated this area as a CTEP area-- Concentrated Traffic Enforcement Program area. "We won't be hiding behind any billboards," Sgt Chuck Terrell said "We llave highly visible cars, white with red stripes," he said, "we want people to know we're there." "If we could get people to voluntarily comply with the laws, it would be great," Terrell said "If they don't, we'll have to write tickets." The Sheriff's department stresses what they call the "Three-E's" of traffic safety: Engineering - building roads of the proper width and with the proper signs, etc.; Education- making the people understand how traffic laws can keep them out of accidents, and to insure WEDNESDAY.

The hearing on this petition will be held May 24, at 1 p.m. in Room 112 of the McHenry county courthouse, 2200 North Seminary avenue, Woodstock. All those who may be interested may appear and be heard. APPROVE SCHOOL BOUNDARY CHANGE (Continued from page 1) sonnel's) professional judgment on the readiness of each applicant and could lead to massive administrative problems and costs. He also noted the trend of the "bulk of (educational) establishment" to seek a readjustment of the birth date requirement to possibly as early as Sept. 1, that the Dec. 1 deadline was a mistake. • In his explanation to the board Dr. Farmer wrote, "The question of the most ap­ propriate time or method to enroll children into a kin­ dergarten program is one of the 'education establishment's classic and cyclical debates. It breaks out periodically in professional meetings and in the literature. Every year the soundness of our policy is questioned by one or more parents, generally with regard to their first or only child." Dr. Farmer added that readiness differed even bet­ ween sexes, the girls usually being ready for school probably six months ahead of boys due to developmental difference. The parent accepted the board's ruling which included instructions to school personnel to assist the family with advice and programs that would sustain for the one year the affected child's interest in the intellectual part of the school program for which she was believed to be ready. The parent indicated that he was asking for consideration not only for himself, but for all other parents in the same boat to have the option to go or not to go, depending on their child's readiness. The Education fund will still be $344,000 in debt noted Bill Landis, assistant superin­ tendent for operational ser­ vices, while explaining the amendments to the budget. The board approved the proposal and will give final approval after the amendments are published for public review. In the education fund the estimated revenue for the current year 1978-79 is $3,692,655 and estimated ex­ penditures are $3,692,218. The probable surplus of $437 will apply against the accumulated deficit of $344,640. The Operations, Building and Maintenance fund will generate a deficiency of $48,000, because of $375,555 expenditures against $327,546 revenue. This will still leave a carryover balance of $16,183 in the fund, down from $64,192 last year. The tran­ sportation fund will also generate a $49,719 deficiency with $459,062 expenditures against $409,343 revenue. This will reduce the fund's carryover balance from $145,089 to $95,470. The big items in the Education fund budget that are changed were listed as: tuition for special education add $30,000 because of an increase in students; contributions to teacher retirement add $51,200 because final results of ongoing negotiations were not known at budget preparation time; maintenance contractual service add $29,000 mostly due to snow plowing. In transportation, special education required an added $20,000 because of increased student numbers and main­ tenance needed an additional $25,000. Landis said that $46,000 was added to revenue for the Education fund due to a change in the state formula, but the schools didn't seem to be getting the additional money anyway and the budget picture was not greatly affected. The board accepted the letter of proposal from Mueller, Sieracki, Kaun and Miller Co., CPA's of Elgin, as auditors for the current year at a cost estimated up to $3,250. The board noted that this is the fifth year that this firm has per­ formed this function for the district, which, Landis ex­ plained, is required by statute. The board also took under advisement a problem presented by Principal Ed Sobotkiewicz of Valley View involving an underwater playground. Solution to the problem appeared to be repaving of the area after some new or additional tiling to solve the drainage problem. Assisting the principal in presenting the problem were Pat Threlkeld and Pat Pr- zetacznik, presidents of the Valley View PTO, and Ileen Zorblis, co-chairman of the Fun fair, which netted $2,400 ac­ cording to reports. The group asked board action to remedy the water situation. Whenever there is rain and for a few days after, young children who use this playground must be moved to the west blacktop where they must compete with vehicles and bus traffic for play space. This presents a safety hazard. The group reported getting proposals for repaving the problem area ranging around $4,500, but they believed that the water problem was not the responsibility of the PTO and they should not have to use the money they earned to repair it. The problem was referred to the Planning and Building committee for recom­ mendations, and action of some WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES ON SALE ITEMS DELLIIQU0RS MERCHANTS ^L| OF FINE WINES AND LIQUi SALE BEER NOT ICED NO SALES TO MINORS From Our [Win* Shoppel IMPORTED FRENCH sitia K V-.'l %> RID CANTIVAL WHITE CANTEVAL ROSE REG. 2.69 4610W.

The PTO represen­ tatives noted that the blacktopping proposals which they obtained would hold good for no more than 30 days because of the oil solution. The PTO representatives added that the money they had raised at the fun fair should go for something useful and necessary for the school and noted that the books which they had bought with last year's receipts laid in their packing cases until April of this year. In other actions, the board accepted the retirement of Helen Creamer, who is on medical leave, with regret. The administration noted that Ms. Creamer had been a teacher for 26 years and had been a valuable part of the McHenry school system.

Don't List!!! If the realtor who has ap­ praised your property wants a listing for one year. We are still bumping into people who sign the old listing contract which gives a realtor a listing for six months, and renews up to one year unless you give a 30 day notice, after the six months period. This is legal. But why - tie your property up that long? 90 to 120 days should show you whether your listing is being serviced properly, and whether you are getting action. You are then free to 1. Con­ tinue, or 2. List with someone else. This puts you, the seller, in the drivers seat. Prices keep going up. Many times a year's listing won't reflect an increase.
