V L *1 CONSERVATION TEACHER OF YEAR NAMED (Continued from page 1) planning special science activities and field trips. The young teacher's ap- firoach offers as many reedoms and respon­ sibilities as the students can realistically handle. As a result of his efforts, students inday can better relate to the science program because theory is balanced with practical experiences and student participation is enhanced in every aspect of the program. The Johnsburg En­ vironmental Education Program (JEEP) and the Johnsburg Outdoor Club (JOC) are both products of Rigby's creativity. In JEEP, eighth grade students provide leadership in setting up and conducting en­ vironmental education experiences for elementary school classes. In JOC students are trained to develop effective leadership skills necessary for the maintenance of JEEP. "The changes initiated by David Rigby certainly have had a positive impact on the learning environment," states Dr. Duane Andreas, superintendent. He has done much to promote community involvement and support of ® school programs. This has resulted in the following community activities aluminum recycling center, fall refuse cleanup and rejuvenation of ponds located on St. John's church property. Rigby graduated from the University of Illinois in 1974. He received his first leaching assignment at Johnsburg Junior high school, where he is still employed as a science teacher. He teaches seventh and eighth grade science courses and is en­ vironmental coordinator for the school district. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) For those who might have thought the boldness of "washing their linens" in public belonged to McHenry alone, it amply isn't so. And while we first heard of teacher requests, now it's school boards that are airing grievances. Stormy protest comes from the Illinois Associations of School Boards over two bills now under con- sideraton by the General Assembly they charge would "bring severe financial hardship to many school districts and weaken the ability of all districts to control the quality of their teaching staffs." One bill, wJiich the association charges would bankrupt many small districts, would require all school districts to adjust minimum teacher salaries each year by the same percentage as the increase in average statewide teacher salaries during th/fe previous year. / The state association contends that such a bill would force annual in­ creases that would bankrupt many small districts. The second bill to evoke dark predictions for its impact on schools is described as "granting instant tenure to new teachers". The bill eliminates the two-year probationary period by requiring school boards to cite reasons at a public hearing if a new teacher is not to be rehired. The state association charges the legislation would have the effect of reducing the ability of school boards to weed out teachers who simply do not work out. Teachers no doubt look at the pending legislation in another way. Right now they are happy to get the proposals before the General Assembly. However you look at the dispute, there is no denying that the split between teachers and school boards widens and gives no in­ dication of being amicably settled in the near future. K.A.FT CITY PRESENTS "BOTTOM LINE" ON AGREEMENT (Continued from page 1) built to the specifications of a "major collector street",- a 34-foot driving surface with 4-foot gravel shoulders on either side. ' "I could bend on the time limit (for the constitution) and on the sidewalk," Pepping said, "but we have to get the right-of-way up front." : F a e s t e l s u g g e s t e d dedicating the right-of-way in phases as the develop­ ment is built. He added that there could ' be some problems with "the lender" in getting the right-of-way before phasing. "We must get title to the right-of-way," Stanek said. "There is no guarantee that they'll be able to deliver. With title to the right-of- way the City would still be able to build the bypass road, even if the develop­ ment folded; according to Stanek. Faestel also proposed that the developers bear the cost of the road construction up to the point where the residential areas end, leaving the road in the park land-open space to be built by the City. This stretch of road includes the bridge. As the discussion turned towards the bridge, Alderman Michael Wieser reiterated his position that the developer's contribution to the bridge should be a percentage of the cofet and not a fixed dollar amount. "I can't go along with a dollar figure on the bridge," Wieser said. "Costs could double and we'd still only get $75,000." Faestel said the ap­ proaches to the bridge should be included in the cost of the bridge and not part of the developer's road costs because some substantial, h e n c e e x p e n s i v e , engineering might be necessary. Mayor Stanek suggested that the City might pay for SO feet on either side of the bridge, but was reluctant to agree to Faestel's proposal. Faestel proposed, and had written into the first draft of the annexation agreement a clause which would give the developers credit, which would be applied to other developer donations, for thfe park land-open space. The value of the park land-open space wasestimated at $88,000 by iFaestel. The City remained adamant that there would be no credit extended for the value of the park land-open space. It was pointed out that other developers had to make similar donations as they were annexed to the City. "If there is nb possibility of credit, we'd like to reserve the right to investigate for extra lots, if they are suitable," Faestel said. The hearing was recessed until June 11 at 8 p.m. to give both sides time to gather more information and consider more options. MOTHER'S DAY DINNER IS CANCELLED (Continued from page 1) According to McHenry County Sheriff's police, Ryan J. Schaefer, 9, of Woodstock, walked into the path of an auto driven by David R. Blomgren, also of Woodstock. Schaefer was taken to Memorial hospital in Woodstock by the Woodstock Rescue squad and was later transferred to Sherman hospital in Elgin. He was listed in the intensive care unit as of Tuesday morning. The accident is under investigation by Sheriff's police. Duane C. Nicholson, of 914 Paul, McHenry, was driving south on Wright road and failed to negotiate a curve and went into a ditch, ac­ cording to the police report. Nicholson told police he drove into the ditch and would say nothing further. He was taken to McHenry hospital by the Nunda Rural Rescue squad. He was treated and released.

The other car made a left turn in front of the Fit­ zgerald auto and he was unable 10 avoid the collision. < Fitzgerald followed the other car, driven by James Siackpool, of 4009 Delores, McHenry, to a gas station where Stackpool said Fit­ zgerald could get help. According to the police report, Stackpool also said he wanted nothing to do with the police as he was in " 00 much trouble already."

O'Brien, of 7707 Cedar, Wonder Lake. CITE GROUP HOME AS MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT (Continued from page 1) and this was followed by the granting of a conditional use permit for construction of a Group Home south of McHenry. A three-year effort to obtain approval of a Group Home for 11 people was climaxed with that County board vote, a decision Lambourn praised as he complimented those board mem hers who displayed courage in the face of vocal opposition to grant the zoning request. Lambourn listed three achievements concerning facilities, and the largest project - the 20,000 square f o o t v o c a t i o n a 1 r e h a b i l i t a t i o n t r a i n i n g center - will be dedicated in early June. Opening of that center in. McHenry Shores provides a place, for the. vocational rehabilitation program for 200 people daily. The Pioneer center administrative staff is located in this facility also. T h e B i r t h - t o - T h r e e program for 100 children moved into a - remodeled facility on Ringwood road. This provides better facilities and more space. Thirdly, Lambourn said the day school for the sev­ erely profoundly multiply handicapped was moved into the remodeled building at McCullom Lake. That space became available when the vocational rehabilitation program at McCullom Lake was moved to the McHenry Shores facility. In the _election, two directors were reelected and one new director was elected to the board of directors. Reelected were Allan McKim, McHenry, and Louise Rogulic, Alden. New director is Elyse Roberts, Crystal Lake, succeeding Meltft\ie Frett, McHenry, who retired front the board and also retired a? secretary. Three officers were reelected: Dixie Meyer, Crystal Lake, president; Bruce -Smyth, Crystal Lake, vice-president and Ormel J, Prust, McHenry, treasurer. Micheal Lanphier, Harvard, is the new secretary. Mrs. Alana Lambourn was honored as a 10-year em­ ployee. Three volunteers were recognised for their services: Mary Witt, Woodstock, who works'five days a week as a volunteer in children's services, and Hope Martin and Debbie Lein, both of Crystal Lake, who assist in the residential services activities. Dr. Richard Blanton, deputy director of the Illinois Department of Mental Health and Development Disabilities, said he expects the Illinois General Assembly will find funds for an estimated $8-$13 million to be used for a cost-of-living increase in salaries for community program em­ ployees. / He said the money will come from either adding money to the budget or by making cuts elsewhere to find the necessary increase. He said no cost-of-living increase has been given c o m m u n i t y p r o g r a m e m ­ ployees the past couple of years. Hospice Presentation Clinic Day Feature hospital's board of directors is hosting the annual Clinic day dinner, which will be addressed, by Margaret DiFrancesca, R.Nm hospice coordinator at Highland Park, hospital since December, 1978_ Mrs. DiFrancesca was formerly the head nurse of psychiatric units at.Lutheran General, Evanston, and Waukesha (Wjs.) hospitals. Since she became interested in the hospice movement, she has studied at the Family in­ stitute (Chicago) and the Hospice of Marin (Mill Valley, Calif.). The final event presented in observance of National Hospital week is a seminar Thursday for nurses, dietitians, clergymen and others who are responsible for the care of the cancer patient. The seminar, "Overview of Cancer Management: Nursing, Nutritional and Pastoral Care Aspects" will be presented by oncology nurse Pat Collins, R.N.; dietitian Judy O'Gara, R.D.,; and hospital chaplain Rev. Ron Conro of St. Joseph's hospital, Elgin. Nurses and dietitians will receive credits in Continuing Education for attendance at the seminar, according to Pat Kelly, R.N., nursing education coordinator, and June Madden, R.D., ad­ ministrative dietitian at McHenry Hospital. Further information may be obtained by calling 385- 2200, extension 642. MARGUERITE DIFRANCESCA T w o p r o f e s s i o n a l education seminars and a presentation on - the "hospice" serving McHenry, Lake and Kane counties, are being presented by lVIcHenry hospital during National Hospital week, May 11-17. The hospital's annual Clinic day for area physicians is being held Wednesday afternoon. The seminar, entitled, "Current Concepts in the Management o f G a s t r o i n t e s t i n a l Neoplasia," features four clinicians - three from the Unviersity of Chicago and its reasearch hospitals, and the fourth from the department of radiation therapy at Lutheran General hospital. Following the afternoon s e m i n a r , M c H e n r y May 17 Recycling To Be Aided By Eastern Star " Working along with the McHenry County Defenders, members of the Eastern Star will be on hand Saturday, May 17, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the southeast corner of the McHenry Market Place to receive properly prepared material for recycling. By getting into the habit of b r i n g i n g s e p a r a t e d recycling materials to the recycling drive once a month, citizens are saving space in landfills which are quickly filling, and are also saving natural resources by making it possible to re­ claim materials that would normally end in the solid waste stream. Ap­ proximately 1,700 tons (3,400,000 lbs.) of usable material are saved for future use each year in McHenry County through recycling. The following guidelines may be of help to those in­ terested in becoming in­ volved. Newspapers-tie securely into bundles easily handled by the workers ( and the householder), or place securely into strong brown paper bags. All plastic bags should be removed. Wet paper is not acceptable since the newspaper is processed dry immediately after unloading. Recycled baling twine is available for those who would like to take some home with them. Magazines and corrugated board-bundle separately from the newspaper. Glass bottles and jars- wash, and have metal and plastic removed. This in­ cludes the plastic jackets that are now found on some glass bottles. Clear, green and brown glass are ac­ cepted for recycling. Please do not bring light bulbs or crockery of any kind, and do not pre-crush glass. Paper labels do not need to be removed. All-steel cans--rinse, remove labels, cut out bottoms (which makes flattening easier) and flatten to conserve space. Aluminum-separate from the all-steel cans since they are processed > through different avenues. Some people confused the all- aluminum can with the bi­ metal beverage container, which cannot be recycled. All-aluminum cans will have " a l l - a l u m i n u m " o r "recyclable aluminum" printed on them. If in doubt, use a magnet, for a magnet will not stick to the side of an all-aliminum can but will be attracted to the side and bottom (but not the top) of a bi-metal can. Used motor oil-bring it tb the drive in a plastic jug with a secure lid.\ Plastic milk jugs work fine for this. Labels from various products are being collected for Pioneer Center for the Exceptional, which uses them toward purchase of equipment for their sheltered workshop. Check the collection-display box on hand at each recycling drive to see what kinds of labels are being saved. Anyone in need of further information regarding the recycling of materials is asked to call the McHenry County Defender represen­ tative at 385-8512. /• Inherited Some people seem to have opinions that have been in their families for generations. -W.O.W.
