PAGE 29 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JUNE 8.1979 BUSINESS INCENTIVE (Continued from page 1) students to have work permits, which the school will gladly provide. Dale said that the school will do the paperwork, get the forms to the employers and help them fill them out, and see that they are sent to the proper places. What is left for the businessman is to a) provide a position for the student, and b) getting together with a tax advisor at tax time. Any interested business or tradesmen are urged to call Ron Dale at MCHS West campus. EXPECT STIFFER PENALTIES FOR LATE SEWER BILLS (Continued from page 1) Where the bill reamins un­ paid after the 30th day of the month, and was less than $100, the customer would owe the face value of the bill, plus 10 percent, plus a $15 penalty. If the bill was more than $100, and was still unpaid after the 30th day of the month, the customer would owe the face value of the bill, plus 10 per­ cent, plus an additional 20 percent. For example, if the bill was $500 dollars and not paid after the 30th day of the month, the customer would owe the $500, plus $50, plus $110 for a total bill of $660, and the chance of having the water shut off. This proposal met with little opposition from the Council, in fact, the only debate over it made it a little stiffer. Harker had originally suggested sending out two shut- off notices, but Alderman Jack Pepping said that a shut-off notice should be just that, a shut-off notice. Pepping said that in his experience at Commonwealth Edison, people tend to ignore the first notice. The other recommendation by the sewer and water con­ cerns the thousand or so homes hi McHenry that are not equipped with outside meters. If the homes do not have them- they soon will. The Council was unanimous in its approval of the measure, which is presently being drafted into an ordinance, and Harker said that it was up to the Council to decide how the cost is going to be split between the City and the homeowner. Mayor Stanek was in favor of a 50-50 split of the estimated $75 cost, except iA those cases where the homeowner has buried the nreter, through remodelling, etc. The measure was prompted because of the difficulty in reaching some of the meters. "There are some meters that haven't been read in three years because we can't get to them," City Clerk Gilpin said. In other Council action, Bob Mortell presented the Community Center Advisory committee report to the Council and recommended that a city recreational director be hired. The director's function, as explained by Mortell, would be to develop programs and act as a coordinator between the City and various school boards and state andjfederal government. Mortell said that school boards are eager to have people use their recreational facilities but would rather work through one person than with a number of different people. The Council passed a resolution to spend $31,000 for its share of the intermittent repaving project and about $650 for a dozen parking meters to replace about 29 meters in the City. At the end of the three- and-a-half hour meeting, Alderman Mike Wieser asked that the ordinance which requires the first story of all multiple family untis be of brick, stone or a veneer, be repealed. Wieser said that the intent of the ordinance was to have 50 percent of the exterior of these buildings in this manner and not the first story. He said that the matter should be referred back to committee and the Council approved his motion. The Council went into executive session at about 11:30 p.m. and adjourned shortly thereafter. FUND REQUESTS FOR McHENRY BASED PROGRAMS (Continued from page 1) whether they wanted to be involved .in this 4ype of program and to what degree. Member Clint Claypool, who is a former high school board member, questioned if the school districts would pick up the program after the two-year funding expired considering the other demands for their funds. Douglas Pratt, director of the * Alternative high school at McHenry, sought 708 board funding for this learning unit which was formerly included in District 156. He said this school provided dropouts from the conventional school system an opportunity to complete their education, resulting in a high school diploma. Pratt recalled for the baord that the school was originally supported in part by a foun­ dation grant and was part of the high school system aimed to keep in school students who wouldn't function in the traditional high schools. However, after the John- sburg area split off from District 156, causing a financial crunch and service cutbacks, in order to survive the Alternative school was advised to cut its ties with the district to qualify for other funding, Pratt said. And presently the local CETA (Comprehensive Employment Training Act) agency is providing money for students' tuition. Pratt explained that students must pay tuition to attend, which caused Smith to remark that any school of this type which can draw young people's interest while charging a fee to attend is worthy of support. Pratt added that their main need at present is for more space to expand their enrollment, now at 30, but which he said should not go beyond 60 to retain the ef­ fectiveness of the small group. The problem which dropouts had with the traditional large high school was the feeling of powerlessness, Pratt said, which they now sought to handle by involving the students in much of the decision making process, even on ad­ missions of new students. Smith briefed the board members on 708's previous policy on the Alternative school which some had questioned as not being on actual mental health program. But because dropouts might wind up in mental health programs later, it was rationalized as being appropriate to support this program. Two mental health programs were considered for application by the Public Health Nursing for the McHenry County Health department, as Eileen Hanson, director, requested $11,547 for their funding. This would enable nurses to identify possible instances of child abuse and to continue under a sustaining care program the medical care at home for adults NEW AT THE McHENRY INN Salad Bar with Hot and Cold Buffet •Lunch - $2.95 •Dinner - $5.25 'Salad Bar with Menu Selections - 95<t SPECIALS FRIDAY: Fish Fry with Salad Bar - $3.95 SUNDAY: Brunch 10 AM -3 PM -$4.25 •All Prices Include Coffee •Children Under 12 - Half Price •Salad Bar Buffet Hours: Lunch: 11 AM-3 PM Dinner: 5-9 PM (^jMc^HenfV ^Inn "Fairylv Hot^e 4512 W.

Crystal Lake Rd., McHenry 385-0420 "The House That Service Built" released from mental health treatment. Mrs. Hanson said that many instances of child abuse were detected in home visits as followpups to discharges from high risk post natal centers. When a mother does not bring a baby home from the hospital, something seems to be lost in the parent-child relationship. Other referrals can come from pediatricians, emergency rooms and other practitioners who have seen suspicious circumstances, she added. Smith asked what the impact would be if the nursing service received no funding from 704. Mrs. Hanson said there are some minor sources of money from various state agencies and some patient charges which are kept low or are ad­ justed to patient income, but there would be a problem in maintaining the extended services of her unit. Smith explained to the board that the public health nurses were basically charged with administering medication for the elderly under the Medicare and Medicaid acts, and since a McHenry County Health department referendum had been defeated when the Board of Health was established, the County board was reluctant to fund any additional functions that were not self-supporting. Mrs. Hanson noted that county officials apparently were not aware of the size of the problem on child abuse. Smith indicated that probably $60,000 of the NIMH grant would go to the child abuse program. About the sustaining care program, Mrs. Hanson ex­ plained that her nurses made home visits to patients referred to her by psychiatrists or the mental health center to make certain the patients continue their medication. Because most medical programs or insurance make no provision for treating of mental illness, the 708 board is about the only resource for this program, she said. Lou Houdek, director of the YSB, asked continued and increased support of the bureau because of the expiration of the declining grant from the Illinois Law enforcement commission which led to its establishment four years ago. He said this would be the first year since 1975 that they would have to function without ILEC money. Houdeck advised that the YSB originally had provided short term counseling and crisis intervention, usually as an alternative to involving young people in the police and court systems. Referrals were frequently made by police or school personnel which made YSB a sort of ancillary to the juvenile justice system. Now the focus is different, Houdek said. It deals more with identifying and intervening to get "kids" to services they need before they come to police attention. Programs include crisis stabilization, preventive education, case management, outreach and outdoor growth and resources. Houdek said the 23 percent more in 708 funding being requested was not the true picture. Actually the bureau budget was being reduced from $137,000 to $125,000 and the staff was being reduced. YSB is actively seeking diversified funding from foundations, townships and local govern­ ments, and they have become a United fund agency. He cited a 41 percent success record in fund appeals. Smith explained to the board that YSB was established when youths were not receiving services from mental health systems. Now there is some competition and apparent duplication of functions. , He added that currently there were some unfavorable comparisons on case costs for YSB against the larger agencies in the county. As a major supporter of YSB, Smith urged, they should aid the bureau in sound financial planning. In other business, the 708 board reviewed the NIMH grant allotments and passed a resolution to accompany its budget proposal for the coming year for County board action.

As an ex-trumpeter whose instrument long ago went the way of most others, we admit to similar thoughts through the years. McHenry's stage band has excellent musicians, a number of them professionals, and it has a loyal following. Its popularity has come with the years and is a definite plus in recounting the community's summer entertainment of­ ferings. It's part of McHenry and here to stay. But the man with his memories also has a point. He observes that small bands such as this recruit five trumpets, five trombones, five saxophones and a rhythm section, and then, "what has happened to all the former flutists, oboists, clarinetists, bassoonists and players of French horn?

Could something like a second band to play the marches, overtures, light classics and novelties be made possible without a big expenditure of money? It's b&ng done in other places; in fact, there are several thousand municipal bands throughout the country that provide opportunities for high school-trained musicians to continue to enjoy their music after they have left school. Is McHenry too small? Are there even enough who would be interested? We remember the op­ portunity afforded us to play with the municipal band at age 18. It was an experience packed away with the horn long ago but cherished with other memories. Times change. Maybe there is no place for such a band today. Or maybe it would just take an enthusiasm equal to the man with the memories to make it possible. KAF RETIREMENT ENDS SERVICE (Continued from page 1) H Mission Preparatory school and De Paul university. Father Baumhofer became a Christian Brother in 1931, and taught with them at Mount St. Mary's in Emmitsburg, Md., until August, 1941 when he decided to enter the priesthood. He was ordained at St. James Pro Cathedral Sept. 23, 1944. After his first assignment in McHenry at St. Mary's as an assistant to the late Msgr. Charles Nix, in 1952 he became pastor of Cherry Valley, and chaplain of the Poor Clares. On March 17,1954, he was assigned to St. Mary's in Pecatonica, and on July 20,1958, he became superintendent of Marian Central in Woodstock, and was responsible for not only supervising the building of the school, but also in spearheading the drive to raise funds which would serve young people from 14 parishes. Father held the position as superintendent until July 1, 1961, even though he was also pastor of St. Mary's in McHenry. St. Mary's church underwent a much needed renovation in the late 60's and on May 4.1969, the parishioners attended Mass in beautiful new surroundings. Father Baumhofer celebrated the twenty-first anniversary of his ordination the sqme year. Father Baumhofer will remain in McHenry until St. Joseph's retirement home is completed. Post City Beach Unsafe For Swimming Water samples collected from swimming beaches by the McHenry County Department of Health May 29 and 30 were obtained from several beaches on the Fox river and from some of the lakes in the county. ' t Those beaches at which there have been two consecutive unsatisfactory samples and which the department will be posting as unsafe for swimming include the City of McHenry.
