ALTERNAtlVE CITY SHIES SCHOOL MOVES (Continued from page 1) the outstanding contributions made by some of the friends and associates of McHenry Alternative high school during the past five years ot its existence. The move to the new building was accomplished through the joint efforts of all of the students and staff of the school. Although it was difficult to move in the middle of the school year, Doug Pratt, director of the school, said the cooperative spirit and the dedication present among the par­ ticipants helped immensely. The move was accomplished quickly and smoothly, and the school program is back in full swing. Created for 15- to 19-year- old students who were ex­ periencing trouble in their previous school, McHenry Alternative high school (M.A.H.S.) is now in its fifth year of operation. It is ex­ panding its program to meet the growing demand for its services. The new facility provides almost twice as much space as the old location of the school at 3334 W. Elm street. It allows for a larger student enrollment and a variety of new courses. Plans are being made for cooking and gardening classes, new types of physical education activities, expansion of crafts, photography and art classes, as well as possible independent woodworking and car repair learning programs. Experiments in solar energy and other energy- saving devices are being discussed for the near future. The Alternative school will be interviewing new students in early January for second semester classes. If interested, call 344-2424 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m FROM SHORES PROPOSAL (Continued from page 1) Grossman said that an error of 500 feet had been found in one of the base maps and "we took it upon ourselves to update the maps." "I am asking you to reimburse our office for the cost of the straight salaries only," Grossman said. Alderman Schooley wanted to know why the matter was not brought before the Council before the work was done. The work amounted to a little more than $2,500 - over and above the contract amount - and the cost includes some other maps prepared at the request of City Clerk Barb Gilpin. Grossman answered saying that his office was not aware of what it would take to correct the maps. "The error in the base maps has been there since 1960 or before," Grossman commented. When Alderman ' Wieser questioned paying the bill, McHenry Plan commission chairman Gerald Bunting came to Grossman's defense saying, "Being in the same sort of business, the revision of a base map is different than updating a base map." Bunting said that Grossman had encountered something that had not been anticipated. Mayor Stanek asked, "Do we pay?" Alderman Harker stated, "I would assume that the maps are correct and we should not expect any problems." "If they are kept up-to- date," Grossman said. "Then I'll move to pay the $2,584," Harker said. Aldermen Pepping, Nolan, Harker, Datz and Schooley voted in favor, while Aldermen Wieser and Adams voted against the motion. In other Council action, the Council voted to accept plat 11 of Residential Develop­ ment Group's Boone valley development. The Council is also con­ sidering a tax shelter option for City employees. DENY TEACHER GRIEVANCE (Continued from page 1) eludes many more managerial duties. In deciding on teaching methods, Haasl said the decision was made to con­ centrate on basic skills - typing, shorthand, etc. He commented that the latest machines are not necessary but thought hand calculators for math would be helpful. He foresees continued changes in computers, data and word processing. Companies, he said, tell school Business Education teachers if young people know the basics, they will teach their own computer methods.

Information secured by farmers throughout Illinois in local policy resolutions discussions augments the material under discussion by that select group, the Illinois Farm Bureau iejotative resolutions committee, which is weighing policy proposals to present to 471 voting delegates Dec. 9-12 when the 1979 Illinois agricultural association meeting is held in Chicago. Among those 471 voting delegates are six representing McHenry County Farm Bureau members. Don Luerssen, Alden dairy farmer, heads the local group whichl is expected to total 50 during the four-day convention. A county dinner is planned near the convention headquarters Monday evening, Dec. 10, where resolutions of most im­ mediate concern will be discussed to help the six voting delegates glean views of farmers on those matters before the business session the next day. In addition to Luerssen, the voting delegates include David Gardner of Solon Mills and Keith Weingart of McHenry. Voting delegates will consider resolutions developed by the tentative resolutions committee. Those proposals are based on information from County Farm Bureaus, staff recommendations and new developments that occur after county „. policy development reports are forwarded to the state-wide committee of 36 members. Topics expected to dominate farmers' attent include development of alternate sources of energy, including energy from farm products such as corn, wood pulp and kenaf; direction of change that should take place in national farm policy; and streamlining the Illinois General Assembly in time to have voters act on any changes at the 1960 elections. An open session of the resolutions committee at 4 p.m. Dec. 9 is the first forum at the annual meeting. Any farmer may appear to offer his tfews-tm any matter of concern' to him and ask that the \committee consider his r_ _ i as a resolution to be taken before the 471 voting delegates. Voting delegates in District I-Kane, McHenry, DeKalb, Lake and Boone coupties-will elect a ctor for a two-year term. m Gould, Maple Park, is lpleting the second year ^of the term in which Jack Young, Spring Grove, was elected two years ago.

In their possession were the tools used to break into the building and a cash box with $860.

Pm Decji SANTA'S SUNDAY KC.tONLY SPECIALS! ̂ County Mayors Vlmw Functions' Of Clork As principal speaker last week's McHenry Coji Municipal associatU meeting, County Clei Rosemary Azzaro gave historical background of office and described principal functions. Although the first < thouse was not built unt 1840 (at McHenry) she the records of her office include entries from 1837 of marriages performed by justices of the peace, the earliest written records in the county. She added that early records of births and . 4 deaths are incomplete until 1916 when the Mine1" Department of Health authorized. Since then records are compulsory. | Prior to that time efforts dating from 1877 for such a L' department had failed. Mrs. Azzaro said that besides keeping these statistics, her office issues marriage licenses. She is the ex-officio registration officer under the permanent voters registration of 1941 and appoints all deputy registrars. Her employees ~ strike the tax rates for 113 taxing districts and 28 cities and villages of the county, four of which overlap into other counties. This process, she noted, includes many preparatory steps including coding new village an­ nexations, determining the rates from the various levies and abstracting the results to school districts. Adding to the tax problems are state provisions for mobile home taxes and agricultural land "rollback". She said her office pays all approved claims against the county and is responsible for the payroll, which although computerized, still requires a flow of advice sheets. She also administers the in­ surance program and the I l l i n o i s M u n i c i p a l Retirement fund for hun­ dreds of county employees, keeps track of notary publics, clerks for and oversees sales of property for delinquent taxes, ap­ points election judges every two years and oversees their training. Conducting the general elections is the big job she said, with 125 precincts in the county which are increasing with time and will need further consolidation in 1981. Other duties include acting < as ex-officio clerk of the County board, administering the Illinois ethics program with statements of economic i n t e r e s t , c a m p a i g n disclaimers, formation of p o l i t i c a l c o m m i t t e e statements, various notices regarding elections, which result in "paper ̂ pollution" for her office. She noted that her office would not be ac­ cepting amended levies from the municipalities, but rather "abatement of levies" if they are being reduced. About the new corporate tax which is supposed to replace the unconstitutional corporate property tax, she said it might be a year before taxing bodies could determine to what extent it would replace the loss of the former tax revenue.
