By doing so, the teacher avoids the early OF RESCUE EFFORT reduc,io" The right to participate in (Continued from page 1) mobile intensive care unit (MICU), out of a barn on River road. A "big backer" of the Lakes Region Rescue squad, farmer Ken Chapel is providing the same support for Company Two of the McHenry Area Rescue squad. Chapel provided the space, formerly a heated milking stall, where Company Two has set up a small office and can park the MICU. During the winter months, Chapel keeps a path plowed so that the rig can get out and Abbink said Chapel would run a plow in front of the rig/if necessary, to get to a call. The spirit behind Com­ pany Two is much the same as it is throughout the rest of the squad. •'I'd much rather answer five calls and find that the patient is okay, than not answer the sixth," Lesniak said. PURSUE LEGAL STEPS IN R.I.F. OF TEACHERS (Continued from page 1) than the actual number to be dismissed because of ex­ tensive paper work and uncertainties at this time. Some will be reinstated at a later date. A special meeting of the board also will be called this month, tc&be held March 18. To questions from a member of the audience. Dr. Richard Farmer listed the budget at $4,500,000 and explained how the 12 to 13 percent pledged reduction in expenditures would be made. The board approved an early retirement policy for teachers between the ages of 35 and 59. The policy allows a teacher to participate in an early retirement plan by making a one-time con­ tribution to the Teachers' Retirement system of the this plan is allowed to 30 percent of teachers in the eligible age group. Studying the contributions to be made by the teacher and the board, there was a question as to how the policy would affect the amount owed by the district. The understanding is that over a long period of time it would be beneficial financially. There are two teachers eligible for this type of retirement at the did of the present term. Discussion accompanied an agenda item requesting participation in fund raising activities. Included were requests from Easter Seal for a spell-a-thon, from the American Cancer society for a bike-a-thon, and Multiple Sclerosis for a read-a-thon. Both Dan DeRoche, assistant superintendent for Educational services, and Supt. Rrehard Farmer emphasized that the value of the undertakings was not to be questioned. The problem for the board was to decide how to accept some and have to reject others if requests became too numerous. Also a factor, they said, was the frequent conflict in public opinion about a particular activity. The sponsorship was often un­ decided in the public's mind when approached by students, and school board members felt that in spite of the merits of the events, the impression of school sponsorship was not favorable. The rental request for Parkland school gym by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce to hold the an­ nual Trade Fair was granted. The dates are March 28, 29 and 30. Although in the past only custodial charges have been made, the board decided to include utilities this year because of the increasing number of high electrical use firms participating in the fair. Referring to a letter sent by Peter Merkel, director of the McHenry Department of Parks and Recreation, the board agreed to cooperate with the city in a Spring and Summer recreational program for the community. That cooperation entails the use of outside school facilities within the district. Because District 15 con­ tinues beyond the city limits, children from both the city and school district will be included in the program. An okay was given to a six- year amortization schedule for $900,000 Working Cash fund bonds to be sold. The interest cost will be $233,600. A special request for extended maternity leave was granted to a District 15 teacher., NEW COUN&IL POLICIES TO GOVERN CITY (Continued from page 1) and capricious if it reversed itself on the same petition." Green's withdrawal concerned the RDG petition which would, if granted, change the zoning of about 60 acres the "golf course" in the Whispering Oaks sub­ division to residential. The remainder of the property would have been left as open space, according to the petition. Alderman Ed Datz presented a preliminary drawing of a plan to pave and improve the parking lot on the west side of Green street. The preliminary drawing included paving, curbing, lighting and green areas in the lot. Two questions yet to be resolved concerning the parking lot are: 1) whether to use meters or some other form of regulation and 2) whether an easement can be obtained for the access next to Gladstone's on Green street. The easiest access to the lot off of Green street is presently owned by Barry Liebsohn, who has not, as yet, granted an easement. The Council debated whether or not to remove the parking meters on Elm street, between Richmond road and Front street, but referred the matter back to We're Celebrating our 125th Anniversary, YOU'RE INVITED!

We honor VISA and MASTERCHARGE the Streets and Sidewalks committee, chaired by Alderman Ernest Schooley. As part and parcel of the Illinois Department of Transportation grant for the McHenry Police depart­ ment, Chief Paserielli asked for Council authorization to buy a new radar gun and about $1,900 of supplies. The total cost of the radar gun was listed at $1,485, but under the grant the City's share would be about $370. Likewise, of the $1,900 of supplies requested, the City will pay about $785. The supplies will be purchased from a Woodstock office supply firm. Chief Pasenelli also requested authorization to advertise for five new patrol cars for the department, pie purchase will increase^ the department's fleet by qne car. Pasenelli said that four cars, which are in the 50,000 mile range, would be traded in and that one of the old cars would be kept for tran­ sporting prisoners or as a backup squad. Alderman Jack Pepping said the purchase of new squad cars was budgeted for and there was funding available for the purchase. The Council voted unanimously to advertise for bids on the five cars. Some preliminary plans for the remodelling of the Police department, both from a security and traffic flow standpoint, were presented by Pasenelli. The cost of the future construction was estimated at between $15,000 and $20,000. The Council voted to pay a little more than $2,500 to Rubino Ladd for work done in Whispering Oaks in 1967. Mayor Stanek proclaimed April 1, 1980 as Census day and urged McHenry residents to cooperate with the census taking throughout the month of April. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) lobbying and the bureaucracy go hand in hand. One of the strongest examples of federal bureaucracy is the Department of Health, Education and Welfare otherwise known as HEW. Although it has long been considered bloated beyond description, wasting money and out of control, HEW continues to stay in favor of a liberal spending Congress. Not long ago a Kansas City reporter spent three months working for HEW to learn what it's really like in the federal bureaucracy. It didn't take her long to learn that this big spender, largest of any federal agency with a budget of almost $200 billions a year, sometimes gets little in return for its expenditure. Later, returning to the working world, she wrote some revealing articles. They opened the eyes of the public, but she isn't sure Congress was impressed. A typical day in an office of 6,000 employees was one in which she addressed one envelope, photocopied a report, mailed some letters, typed a travel voucher and spent a few minutes typing a job description. Along with many others, she spent about half the day reading newspapers or books. The "job" also included typing letters for her bosses which were personal in nature, or to help members of their families line up a job. She did this for $32.16 a day. Just a 10 percent cut in the HEW budget amounting to about $20 billions, would .almost balance the federal budget. To date, Congress has been a slower learner than the lady reporter. They have rejected proposals to cut this monstrous agency down to size. If we could trade our promise of a vote at the polls for a vote to cut HEW, just think - the federal budget would be better balanced than most of our local school systems or our personal checkbooks. KAF THIEVES' TASTE RANGE FROM MINK - GRINDER (Continued from page 1) petty cash and attempted to force open the door of a safe Instead, the thief settled for stealing two tool boxes from the body shop. The Sheriff's police were called to Johnsburg high school when it was found that someone had stolen a valve seat grinder from the mechanic shop. Someone broke a window at Tri-Marine in Wonder Lake and stole a five-gallon gas can. The thief also turned on the gas pump, filled the can, and left when the alarm sounded, ac­ cording to the report. Paul Robbins, of 1903 Beach, McHenry, went to get a trailer when his snowmobile broke down along McCullom Lake road. When he returned, the machine was gone.

Tavern Incident Ends In Charge Of Assault A McHenry man was arrested for aggravated assault following an argument at a tavern. The Sheriff's police met with Laird Kayler, of 3810 W. Maple, McHenry, who said that while he and some friends were at Little John's restaurant, 1211 River road, a member of the group accidentally knocked over a table. Kayler said they were accused of breaking the table, even though the damage appeared to be old, the report said. A minor discussion developed between them­ selves, Kayler added, and before it terminated the manager of the restaurant, Robert Phillips, of 420 Santa Barbara, McHenry, in­ terceded and threatened Kayler with a knife. The police found the l^nife and arrested Phillips for aggravated assault. Bond was set at $1,000. Responding to a report of loud music in the Pine street area, the Sheriff's police were unable to locate the source of the disturbance. They did, however, see a man running across Pine street shooting a rifle. A brief chase ensued and Bradley Soukkala, of 1503 Sunset, McHenry, was arrested for unlawful use of a weapon, possession of a firearm without a firearm ownership identification card (FOI) and discharging a weapon across a highway. Bond was set at $2,035. When Mark Elgar, of 2719 Stilling, McHenry, became abusive to both household members and the Sheriff's police, he was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting a peace officer. Bond was set at $1,035. Donald McNally, of 3228 E. Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, was driving on Shady lane when his car was struck by a sled. Riding the sled, Steven Crook, age 5, did not appear to be injured, according to the report, but he was taken to McHenry hospital for examination.

Saving On Health The cost of treating a seri­ ous illness or accidental injury most often is unan­ ticipated and always is un­ wanted. Often it is not in­ cluded in the family financial plan, and often it presents an extra expense on top of an already tight budget. Like all other living ex­ penses, the price of medical treatment has risen in the last twenty years. But, says die American Medical Associa­ tion, there are still a number of ways in Which you can stretch your medical dollar and at the same time get bet­ ter protection for yourself and your family. • Have a family doctor. He will keep a record of your medical history, which may save duplicating many ex­ pensive and time-consuming tests. • Don't wait too long. Many people try to save money on medical bills by not seeing the doctor until they are seriously ill. This not only defeats the purpose of preventive medicine, the only sound way to preserve your health, but is more ex­ pensive in the long run. • Have regular checkups. Not necessarily every year, but at regular intervals as your doctor suggests. • Go to the doctor's of­ fice. Few patients under­ stand that house calls are not only more expensive but less efficient. • Use the telephone. This not only saves money but also often makes good med­ ical sense. A family doctor who has examined you regu­ larly can sometimes advise over the phone about minor health problems. • Follow your doctor's advice. If you refuse to fol­ low the expert advice you solicit and pay for, you are throwing away your money. • Have good health insur­ ance. Buy as much as you can afford, but especially protect against the cata­ strophic expenses of serious illness. • Take allowable tax de­ ductions. Doctor bills, hos­ pital bills and drug costs beyond a certain percentage of your income may be claimed as deductions for tax purposes. Living well is the best revenge. -George Herbert.
