At her suggestion, they repaired the damaged nest, i nestled it within chicken wire and anchored it on the side of the building where it was supported by studs emerging from between the bricks. When the bird was finally placed carefully in the nest, along with two more found alive on the ground, he began to make sounds.

All of this "bottled" talk minds us of a very attractive tyuart of pure vanilla which tame to us from Mexico through a long time reader, Waldo Porschmann, who Vacationed there' last winter. J Now vanilla is not usually purchased by the quart, and particularly not such a fine Quality.

K. SCHOOL DISTRICT Their district is totally developed and has a stable population, posing no threat of an influx of students. Leisure Village has twice demonstrated a literal voting record, and could boost Johnsburg's bon­ ding power. These facts, plus a building which has been brought up to life safety code and 12 acres of school property, were, in the committee's opinion, some ideas that Johnsburg might dwell on in making its considerations. During another portion of the meeting, Dr. Andreas reported many of the commendations and suggestions in the Illinois Office of Education report. Johnsburg was cited for ex­ cellence in its PE program, outdoor education, career education, and minimum competency testing program. Also commendable were community involvement, its philosophy and planning as a growth district, and joining of the Lake county Area Vocational center. The office mentioned the need for more training for one staff member, and this was to be taken care of in executive session. Suggestions were made to bolster the Health Education program. Other criticisms were in the area of life safety work, and solutions to these problems have been in the planning for some time. In other business, bids were accepted for work on the Middle school drainage problem, for a setup to meet state codes for portable hot food tables for Ringwood, and for two snow blowing at­ tachments for the tractors. Sodding of the football field is under consideration, with the possible prior installation of two catch basins to handle drainage difficulties that seem probable. Business manager Ken Falkinham reported the frustrations of the Capital Development board with many requirements not being met, and the ongoing struggle to finish work on the high school and solve problems in faulty work. Summarizing the year's problems, contractors have refused to finish work for which they have not been paid, and the CDB refuses to pay them for work which is not up to minimum standards. The dispute centers around what is the acceptable stan­ dard. The original landscapers are in court and a new contract has been signed for landscape work. Drainage problems are still a handicap to completion of anything. Unacceptable noise levels created by five different difficulties still remain, and the mechanical engineer has been unavailable, though other personnel have looked over the situation. Part of this mechanical problem focuses on exhaust fans which, according to the thermographic study, are causing a serious heat loss. Charles Boak expressed the sentiment of the board in commending the ad­ ministrators of the schools in this unit district for their patience and cooperation during what has been an ex­ tremely trying year, marked by construction and repair difficulties, and' requiring patience on the part of all. He asked that a letter be sent in the name of the board, ex­ pressing deep appreciation for the conern and support that has been demonstrated. Dr. An­ dreas mentioned that he had also written letters to this ef­ fect. (Continued from page 1) "MISUNDERSTANDING" ON PROPOSED ANNEXATION and, before the license is issued, the $700 fee, which was not paid during litigation, must be paid. The Council voted 6 to 2 to accept an ordinance that would require the first floors of all multiple family and con­ dominiums built from here on in to be constructed of brick, stone, masonry or a natural or cast stone veneer. Aldermen Nolan and Meurer dissented. The Council passed three ordinances which have the net effect of participating in a program, funded largely by federal dollars, to have traffic lights put in at the intersection of Draper, Ringwood and Route 120. The Council sent to com­ mittee a proposal by the McHenry 12 inch softball league, to build a softball field at Petersen park. The Senior Citizens of McHenry county asked the Council for a contribution to keep their various programs going for the upcoming year. The Council was amenable to the request and sent it to the Finance committee to "find the best place to get the money from." And, Butch Meyer, representing the VFW, asked the Council for $1,500 to help "defray the cost of maintaining the baseball fields and clubhouse" which are used by the Little League during the summer. The Council voted unanimously to accept the motion. Retarded Boy, Chained To Bed, Dies Of Bums McHenry Youth Winner In Law Day Contest An ll-year-old Crystal Lake boy who was mentally retarded died at St. Anthony's hospital, Rockford, at 2:45 Wednesday morning, May 23, of third degree burns. He had been found chained to a bed Tuesday night in a burning apartment at Crystal Terrace apartments. Kurt Giesen was taken from the apartment by Crystal Lake police and brought to-McHenry hospital. Later, he was tran­ sferred to the burn unit of St. Anthony's hospital. The boy's mother, Delores DeGeorge, was working at Oak Industries, Crystal Lake, when the Are broke out, according to an investigator for the Crystal' Lake police department. Someone in a neighboring apartment called the police who found the boy chained by one ankle to the bed. He was freed with a pair of bolt cutters from an ambulance rushed to the scene. • Reportedly, an investigation wafe to have been conducted by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services on previous information that the boy was chained to the bed. No charges have been made, pending the results of the in­ vestigation. Effect Operation C.A.R.E. The Illinois state police will again participate in the National Combined Accident Reduction Effort (Operation C.A.R.E.) during the three summer holiday periods in 1979. The program, initiated in 1977 by Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio has been expanded to include all 48 contiguous states. State Police Supt. Lynn Baird has designated all interstate highways in Illinois as C.A.R.E. routes. The program, seeks to demonstrate the harmonious interstate cooperation in traffic enforcement and accident reduction between states during high traffic volume * national holiday periods. Through the use of high visibility patrols on the in- tersUtes, the state police will endeavor to encourage voluntary compliance with the 55 mile per hour speed limit as well as adherence to other laws including improper lane usage, following too closely, improper passing. Troopers will be especially alert for. drivers under the influence of alcohol. Captain James Murphy of the Elgin district said, "The bot­ tom line in this operation is a goal to maintain an efficient movement of traffic while reducing accidents. We want to reverse the trend of escalating traffic fatalities. Operation C.A.R.E. gives us a chance to show the public we care about their safety. We hope motorists care- enough to slow down and drive safely." Law day at the McHenry county courthouse was a special session, with Judge Henry Cowlin presiding. The officials were there as well as judges, attorneys, and secretaries. District 15 Views School Finance At the District 15 school in­ structional meeting Tuesday night at .Landmark school, board members spent con­ siderable time viewing a detailed finance report. It in­ cluded an explanation of the various funds and the methods of financing the services of­ fered. Landis explained that real estate valuation per child over the-entire state ideally should be at a $70,430 figure. If a district taxes to its maximum and the valuation fails to reach the designated level, the state will make up for the deficiency. In Elementary District 15, Dialogues For Veterans The President has asked all Americans to observe May 28 to June 3 as Vietnam Veterans week. In honor of these veterans, the Illinois Job Service, with the cooperation of C.E.T.A. and American Legion posts, will sponsor Vietnam era veterans' "Question and Answer Dialogues" May 29 and May 31. These question and answer dialogues will be held at the American Legion hall in McHenry, 2505 North Ringwood road, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. May 29 1978, and the American Legion hall in Crystal Lake, 406 Woodstock street, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. May 31. The purpose of the question and answer dialogues is to give all McHenry county Vietnam era veterans an opportunity to ask qualified representatives for answers to any of their Vietnam military serivce matters. Agencies to be represented are Illinois Job Service, C.E.T.A., McHenry County college, American Legion, and the Veterans administration. They will be prepared to offer assistance on employment opportunities, education, training, medical, toxic chemical exposure, vocational p l a n n i n g , d i s c h a r g e s , rehabilitation, insurance, G.E.D., aptitude tests, and more. All veterans, Vietnam veterans in particular, are welcome. • • • • The only way to get anything done is to start doing it. * • • • The first fruit-of a reli­ gious personality is an honest life.

Landis' report included the fact that a school district may have a total outstanding bonded debt of 6 percent of its current assessed valuation. District 15 has an assessed valuation of $118,000,000 and by applying the 6 percent figure it equals $7,080,000 minus the existing bonded debt of $1,055,000. This leaves an amount of $1,075,000 that could be issued in bonds at this time. Board members heard a presentation concerning the proposed Outdoor Education experience for sixth graders at George Williams college in Wisconsin. Dan DeRoche of the ad­ ministrative staff and Vince McHugh, counselor at Park­ land school, introduced Ms. Marcia Backil of the college staff, who presented slides and advised the board in detail concerning the facilities. The Outdoor Education program has been in effect for eleven years. The proposal on the local level would involve possibly 200 sixth graders who would enjoy the activities of the program in two separate sessions, 100 each time. The three-day program would cost $35 for each student. DeRoche* said the school would hope to make this a self- financed program, with parents paying $10 and the students accumulating the remainder through fund raising and a' scholarship program. One attraction was pointed out to be Yerkes observatory, which is nearby and available for visits. Authorization was given for more planning details to be worked out before a vote by the board. A list of commendations and areas of non-compliance were revealed to the board from the recent school evaluation team visit by the Illinois Office of Education. The board and ad­ ministrators were com­ plimented for being aware of the potential for growth in the district and "are studying the formulation of a building bond referendum". Only two areas of non- complaince were cited. One concerned the lack of policy with regard to the use of cor­ poral punishment. The other noted there was no provision for social worker services. To remedy the latter, the board agreed to employ a social worker, to be obtained through the Special Education District of McHenry County. With a heavier than usual s u m m e r m a i n t e n a n c e schedule, the board agreed to employ two' from the professional staff described as "excellent do-it-yourselfers" to work on repair and remodelling jobs this summer. The wage rate was set at $7.50 an hour. Much of the work will be done on the white house on Waukegan street formerly housing the alternative school. David Stone of the Bar association introduced the winners of the essay contest. The top winners received savings bonds for their efforts. First place winner was Tina Kaebitzsch, an eighth grader at North Junior high in Crystal Lake. She won $100 savings bond. Second place was John Snyder, son of Richard and Harriet Snyder of McHenry, a seventh grader at Montini Middle school, winning $50; and third place winner was Sheli Schmidt man, an eighth grader at Northwood Junior high in Woodstock, receiving a $25 savings bond. . They were congratulated on their impressive essays. The students read their winning essays and then introduced their families and friends who were able to attend the ceremony.
