He received 7,806 votes in McHenry county to 2,919 for Jack McCrary, 1,383 for Gene Sparrow and 1,704 for Joseph Carlson. Conservative Don Lyon of Rockford, who emerged from the 1978 primary well ahead of Congressman John Anderson, lost his bid to replace Anderson, now a presidential hopeful. The winner was Lynn Martin district-wide, although she was far behind Lyon in McHenry county. Local voting was as follows: Martin, 2,461; Dick Crosby, 885; Lyon, 3,244; William Sisler, 459 ; and Steve An­ derson, 998. McHenry county's Cal Skinner, Jr., of Crystal Lake, who vacated a seat in the 33rd legislative district of the state to seek a 13th Congressional district seat in Washington, D.C., lost his bid for nomination. The veteran Robert Mc- Clory ran behind Skinner, 6,902 to 8,235 locally, but more than made up for the deficiency, 20,765 to 11,701 in Lake county. Delegates elected on the Republican ballot were Simms and Darland (committed to Reagan) and Shafer and LaPlante (committed to Anderson).

K-MART MAY LOCATE LOCALLY (Continued from page 1) would be reimbursed $150,000 by the City two years after the store opened. The mayor said the City would be able to recapture some of this money as more development takes place in the area. In return, the City would waive approximately $20,000 in capital development fees. These agreements are tentative and could be altered in the annexation hearings. The general reaction of the Council appeared to be in favor of the proposed commercial development. The Council also appeared to be in favor of the an­ nexation of about 8 acres of land south of Greenbrier drive, wouth of West campus high school. Christopher Lannert, of a St. Charles consulting firm and representing the owners of the land (the McHenry Group), appeared to find out what direction the Council wanted the development to take. Lannert said the McHenry Group plans to develop about 23 lots on the 8-acre sliver of land. The major question to be answered was whether the development would be a cul-de-sac or a through way to the Winding Creek sub­ division. The m^yor favored a through street to the Win­ ding Creek subdivision and cited traffic flow and emergency vehicle access as reasons for this stance. Taking a different view, Alderman Jack Pepping wanted to limit access to Crystal Lake road "wherever possible" and said another intersection could slow traffic flow. BEGIN SCHOOL BUDGET TRIMMING (Continued from page 1) teachers, most of whom had general teaching licenses. But some teachers insisted, the morale of the teachers in the district is low. The board is missing the point. They are making a big mistake "pushing teachers around like checkers". Dr. Farmer said plans for reassignments were being made and he would welcome suggestions. Board member Gary Lockwood reminded the audience that actually the board had no say in who was RIFed, that seniority determined who went. He said certificates would determine who would replace them, and they can't leave spots unfilled. Jerry Bunting, an audience member, stated the district needed some setup where they can determine what is going to happen and advise the teachers so they can respond. Dr. Farmer reassured the group that there would be no effect on 90 percent of the staff. Ms. Hamilton asked about ROSS BUS SALES 1801 RTE. 120 1 Mi.

In response, he said that almost as a matter of course team ' recommendations from each school are ap­ proved. Other concerns were that programs would not be as good as present, which Dr. Farmer conceded; how to notify parents of changes and how they would be implemented ; the lengthening of class periods in junior highs to take up the time space caused by eliminated programs; what to do with classrooms fitted for special programs (home economics and industrial arts), which Dr. Farmer said probably would be "mothballed". One audience member wanted an accounting of the savings from the teacher cuts and asked if the ad­ ministration planned to save more by moving from the administration building to rooms in the schools vacated by the economy move. Dr. Farmer pointed out problems concerning joint ownership with District 156 and said there was question as to what they could get for the administration building on the open market. But he noted, while they cotuld also sell the "White House" used for kindergarten, more growth was anticipated in the future and they would once again need the space. Audience members also criticized the reduction of the administrative staff wherein an assistant super in tenden t was reassigned as principal but apparently would retain some district-wide functions. Another principal would be reduced to teaching and apparently neither would suffer salary reductions, but only be transferred from one payroll to another. The resulting $44,000 savings was questioned and board members tried to explain that actually teachers were replaced but were "bum­ ped" from the bottom of the roster. Board members pointed out that principals also had tenure rights as teachers do, should they be reduced from the i r admin i s t ra t ive positions. Questioned also was the board decision to retain the new principal at Edgebrook school who was described as being un- tenured in the district. About the length of the plan for cuts, Dr. Farmer said that it covered just the coming year, that further planning would depend on legislation and the economy. One teacher claimed that she had never seen teachers' moral so low and urged the board members to visit classrooms. This she pointed out, meant more to them, than the board realized.

Their names and reasons for dismissal were not given. The resignation of Thomas W. Schilling, a two- campus English instructor who was slated for tenure at this time, was approved by the board. Superintendent Swartzloff indicated that the dismissal actions were routine and are taken at this time of the year to meet s t a tu to ry no t i f i ca t ion deadlines. One used school bus remains available for sale at a bargain $500, the tran­ spor ta t ion commi t tee reported to the board. Two of the three surplused by the receipt of new buses had already been sold. The committee hoped that some local organization would request the vehicle before it was traded in as credit on the new buses. The board approved the commi t tee ' s r ecom­ mendation to accept the bid of Schmerler Ford at $29,652 plus transportation for three bus chassis. Bids for the new 66-passenger bus bodies resulted in the award of the contract to Northland Equipment Co. with Ward bodies at a total cost of $24,900. A trade-in option is also being offered the board for surplused buses as in previous contracts. Superintendent Swartzloff reported on a problem with the Fox River Shores development which is becoming active again. Its land lies within three school districts including District 156. Because of the developer cash donation situation, efforts are being made to effect an exchange of territory between the McHenry school districts Prospective Home Buyers Have Your Questions Answered By An APPROVED MORTGAGE LENDING COMPANY Regarding: •QUALIFYING *LOW MONEY DOWN *NO MONEY DOWN •GRADUATED MONTHLY PAYMENTS -LOWEST INTEREST RATES •NEW PROGRAMS AVAILABLE TO ASSIST YOU No Obligation We Offer Counseling and Pre-Processing LOW INTEREST RATES - MORTGAGE MONEY AVAILABLE REFINANCING - INVESTMENT PROGRAMS AVAILABLE (Ask About Obtaining Your Financial Resources Homebuyer's Certificate) i • $ Call: (312) 530-6100 JOIN US AT OUR FREE SEMINAR March 26 at the American Legion Hall 2505 N. Ringwood Road-McHenry and the Wauconda unit district. Swartzloff also urged District 156 participation in the McHenry County Legislative Alert committee which is being organized under the direction of Cary E lementa ry schoo l superintendent Dr. Roger Marcum. The regional superintendent of education i s sugges t ing tha t each . school district be represented by interested board members and citizens to provide leadership for writing campaigns to area legislators in support of legislation favorable to school districts in the county. The board extended permission for the superintendent to par­ ticipate. The board approved a change for the education policy manual which would permit early retirement of teachers with a minimum of 20 years creditable service and who are between the ages of 55 and 60. The ad- minsitration said that six teachers presently qualify for such retirement and, if requests were made, they would have to honor two of them. In other personnel related matters the board adopted the employee's personnel confidentiality policy as another amend­ ment for the manual to improve the security of such Hold Illegal Aliens After Auto Accident K e e p y o u r t u b s a f e r w i t h a s l i p r e s i s t a n t surface and sturdy handrails. Two illegal aliens and an Antioch man were taken into custody last Friday when Sheriff's police investigated a report of an auto accident at the intersection of Route 173 and Keystone road, near ftkhmond. * When the police arrived, they found three men in the car and none had a driver's license. Leonardo Montell, 26, of Antioch was arrested for driving without a valid driver's license, having open liquor in a motor vehicle and improper lane usage. Bond was set at $1,070. The two other men, Juan Flores and Alfonso Varela, were found to be illegal aliens from Mexico, ac­ cording to the report. The men were taken into custody for the immigration authorities. When the Sheriff's police arrived at a house on Beach- view drive, in McHenry, to take a youth into custody, the youth fled and suc­ cessfully eluded the police. The juvenile was later seen with another person, who encouraged the youth to flee. Both were ap­ prehended.
