"During the 1979-80 school year, nine teachers were at the top of the salary schedule earning base salaries of $24,407. An additional 12 teachers with Master degrees earned between $22,8% and $23,652. The average teacher's salary during last year was $18,626. These salaries were paid for a 180-school day work year," the member concluded. (Continued from page 1) VALLEYBROOK ADDITION RECEIVES NOD tied to platting of the development. The developers did agree to pay for the cost of the Curran road extension in the event that the City built the road before the developers had platted. The developers still intend to build the road in phases, as the develop­ ment is platted. "If we don't have the road built in 10 years and you (the City) build it, we will reimburse you," Attorney Zukowski said. Alderman Pepping suggested tying an interest rate onto the cost of the reimbursement. "We'll pay for the road but we have to have 10 years to build it," Faestel said. "But don't expect us to pay prime rate interest because you built the road before we were ready." The developers agreed to pay 8 percent interest on the cost of the construction. The interest would not begin to accrue until the first day of the sixth year and the City would have the right to build the road whenever the need arose. The rest of the agreed upon terms include: donation of the 22-acre park land-open space within 5 years of the signing or when the contiguous land is platted, $50,000 annexation fee, a five-foot dedication to the park land above the high water mark of the small lake, a 50-foot right-of-way oh Bull Valley and Crystal Lake road, no freezes on ordinances and compliance with the berming requirements of the Zoning board and Plan commission. Attorneys Narusis and Zukowski will draft an an- continuation of the meeting which was set for Sept. 17 at 7;30 p.m. (Continued from page 1) NATIONAL COF POST TO MEYER He was selected parade marshal of McHenr^s Marine festival in 1975 and was honored with a proclamation by St. Mary's of Assumption church in 1977. As a city official, he accepted McHenry's Sew age Treatment Plant of the Year Award in 1974 and the Chicago Home Builders Building department award in 1973. COF is one of 200 fraternal benefit societies in the United States and Canada. Fraternal benefit societies are based on the principle of brotherhood, and all nationalities, religions and walks of life are embraced by them. Founded in Chicago in 1883, the Catholic Order of Foresters, (COF), was started for the Catholic immigrant who often worked as a day laborer and could not afford life insurance with commercial companies. Today it is licensed in 28 states and the District of Columbia, and its 168,000 members include bishops, priests, religious brothers and sisters and Catholics of all ages and walks of life. (Continued from page 1) LOW BIDS FOR KNOX PARK originates from funds in the U.S. Department of the Interior, since the bid amount is well within the $585,000 figure furnished in the application. Merkel was instructed to get construction schedules and to insure that bid bonds were on file from all con­ tractors. Following bid review, the Council figuratively held its breath while Merkel ascertained with bidders that labor costs were included in the bids. Alderman Mike Wieser, before Council approval, noted the ambiguous wor­ ding of the bid forms and questioned that there might be a misunderstanding in the contracts. In other business the Council deferred until their next meeting discussion over the flood plain situation in McHenry. Dr. Hal Sundin of Baxter and Woodman, Ticket Driver Who Left Crash Scene Saturday A McHenry man received four tickets after his in­ volvement in two traffic accidents last Saturday. At about 6 p.m., according to the police report, a car driven by Donald M. Alheit; of 709 Logan, McHenry, struck a parked vehicle on Wright road and left the scene. Alheit told police later that he did not recall striking the parked vehicle. Fifteen minutes later, the Alheit vehicle ran into the rear of an auto driven by William M. Duggan, of Island Lake. Alheit said he applied the brakes, but to no avail, when the Duggan vehicle stopped in traffic on northbound Barreville road. Alheit was ticketed for leaving the scene of an ac­ cident, violation of registration, no valid registration and driving with a suspended or revoked license. Edward C. Gorgol, of 2813 N. Stilling, McHenry, was driving north on Stilling road when he apparently lost control of the vehicle on loose gravel. The car went off the road at about 6:40 p.m. last Saturday. Lisa L. Vidovich, of 8806 Acorn Path, Wonder Lake, was backing from a driveway at about 6:34 p.m last Wednesday when her car struck a parked vehicle. The other vehicle was registered to Russell W. Gay, of 5416 Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. No citations were issued. Richard L. Deering, of 4312 South street, McHenry, was transported by the McHenry Rescue squad to the hospital, where he was treated and released after his car was hit in the rear at the intersection of Front and Lillian streets. The driver of the other vehicle, Michael S. Blake, of 1516 S. Lily Lake road, McHenry, told police he was looking down to turn on the windshield wipers just before the collision occurred. Blake said he applied the brakes when he saw the other car, which was stopped attempting a turn, but slid into the auto. Blake was ticketed for speeding. Maureen A. Montressor, of 4413 Clearview, McHenry, was cited for making an improper turn after her car struck another vehicle on Elm street last Friday. The driver of the other i auto, Kathleen L. Andersen, of 2110 Mill street, McHenry, told police she was driving east on Route 120 when the Montressor vehicle made a left turn and hit her car. ToniG. Victor, of 611 Rand road, McHenry, was ticketed for following too closely after her car ran into the rear of another auto. ROBERT MUSIKfiNTOW, Ph.D. psychologist for th« Family Service and Community Mental Health Center for McHenry County This is another article in the Today's Psychology weekly series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. The topic this week is "Adolescence II.) Recently, I discussed some of the difficulties the adolescent must face due to changes in his or her biological makeup. This week, I would like to take a different perspective. The focus this week will be on the social and cultural conflicts which the teenager must begin to resolve in order to emerge into full, mature adulthood. The basic task facing the adolescent is that of negotiating the tran­ sformation from childhood engineering firm retained by McHenry, had raised some objections with state and federal officials about the flood plaiq map, issued for this area. The appropriate officials in Washington had not responded by this meeting date, but a letter concerning the objections was received Saturday, Barbara Gilpin, city clerk, reported. to adulthood. In many ways it is a period of being in limbo. One is no longer a child, yet neither is one treated like an adult and given adult responsibilities and freedom. There is the conflict between the desire for independence and the realities of economic and emotional dependence. Central to the transition from child-te adult is the need to separate from one's parents and to establish one's identity as a separate autonomous individual. The question, "Who am I?" becomes a prime concern as the teenager struggles with this issue. It is a time of ex­ perimentation, for in trying to find him or herself the adolescent must experiment with new values, roles and behavior. He or she mav take extreme positions or act in new and unusual ways. They may experiemnt with alcohol, drugs and sex. Through all these behaviors the adolescent attempts to establish his or her own identity separate from that of his parents and attempts to assert his or her in­ dependence. For parents who fear the adolescent's emerging in­ dependence, this can be a stormy period between parents and child. For parents can become quite confused at the often con­ tradicting demands that are placed on them. Adolesc­ ence, however, can also be an exciting period for parents who are ready to foster their child's striving for independence while at the same time recognizing their less vocal need for support and nuturance. Couple Hospitalized Following Explosion A house explosion left an A l g o n q u i n c o u p l e hospitalized and the structure in ruins last THERFS NO WAY TO Wednesday at 226 N. Chapel road, near Algonquin. According to the police report, authorities believe that propane gas, which had been connected to the stove two days earlier, had somehow leaked into the basement and was ignited by a spark of some sort. TTie owners of the house, Carl and Emma Behrens, had almost finished moving in when the explosion oc­ curred. Both were taken to Sherman hospital, Elgin, for treatment of injuries sustained in the incident. A son, Carl, Jr., received minor cuts. The house was destroyed. luYOUGENTEK I'm always amazed at politicians who feel you should he grateful when they give you back a little of your own money. It's like thanking a pickpocket for leav­ ing the lint. K ^ Complete European Tour During a three-week tour in Europe this summer, MCC students visited the Louvre in Paris. Begun in the early thirteenth century with additions and reconstruction continuing through the nineteenth century, the Louvre is the largest and most famous art museum in the World. Important treasures housed in the Louvre include the world renowned Mona Lisa by Leonardo Fifty McHenry County college students and their instructors have returned home after a rewarding and enriching three week workshop in European art and cultural centers. Under the guidance of MCC art instructoi Ossie Rometo, students discovered the artistic treasures of Florence, including the Uffizi Galleries, the Pitti Palace and the Medici Chapel. During five days in Venice, students explored the architectural and ar- tisitic masterpieces of the Renaissance and Medieval periods. A one-day excursion to Rome enabled all to ap­ preciate the wonders of the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museum, St. Peter's, and the Roman Forum and Coloseum In addition to the con­ centrated focus on Italy, students visited Paris and its cultural and artistic sights including the Louvre, students were lectured on the major paintings and sculptures of the French and the Italian schools including the Mona Lisa and the major works of Peter Paul Rubens. Erwin Cornelius, instructor of French and social science and Joseph Rybacek, in­ structor of art assisted Rometo on the trip. The college is presently arranging for next year's program. The program is to include England, France, Spain, Italy and Germany with a focus on art, photography, and ar­ chitecture of the region. In addition to the major museums in London, Paris, Madrid. Florence and Munich, students will be introduced to the French Chateau country and Riviera, the romantic, medieval road in Munich and the English countryside of Stratford-upon-Avon. Plans have now been finalized for the college- sponsored Holy Land program, Dec. 27, 1980, to Jan. 10, 1981. The program, offering college credit, in­ cludes visits to Egypt, Israel and Morocco. Historical and biblical sites will be the focus of this tour. Reser­ vations and deposits on either tour is handled by the cashier at the college. More information and brochures on the trips are available from Dr. Robert Frank or Charles Ham, co- instructors, by calling the college 455-3700 extensions 219 or 338. School Nurse Reminds Parents Of Health Exams District No. 15 S'chool Nurse Edith Nimsgern, R.N., has issued a reminder to parents of school age children that all students must meet certain health requirements to remain in school. The Illinois Legislature revised the long­ standing health statutes last year by requiring school authorities to exclude youngsters from school attendance who are not in compliance with the health requirements and directing the Illinois State Board of Education to withhold substantial amounts of State Aid to school districts who are not enforcing the law. The statute basically requires that all pupils be immunized against certain communicable diseases and take periodic physical exams. The statute applies to all public, private and parochial school students. Exemptions to the requirements may be ob­ tained, in whole or part, on certain religious or medical grounds. The grounds for a religious objection must be detailed. The objection must be founded on a religious tenet or practice. General philosophical or moral reluctance to allow im­ munizations and physical examinations will not provide a sufficient basis for an exception to the statutory requirements. Exceptions to t h e i m m u n i z a t i o n requirements must be made on the basis of medical contraindications. If one or more of the required im­ munizations is medically c o n t r a i n d i c a t e d , t h e examining physician k must record the exceptions on the examination form to be filed with the school authorities. The physical examination must have been conducted within one year prior to enrolling in school for the first time, normally kin­ dergarten or first grade, and again within one year prior to entering the fifth and ninth grades. The health exam must be signed by a l i J w /iM -• u physician licensed to practice medicine in all its branches. The Illinois Department of Public Health is charged by the legislature with the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y f o r promulgation or rules and regulations concerning the immunizations. Currently, immunizations required are for diptheria, pertussis, tetanus, polio, red measles, and German measles. THE GAS PUMP By shortening the carbu­ retor accelerator pump stroke you can get better mileage. This can be done by moving the ac­ celerator pump rod end to a dif­ ferent hole so that it shortens the pump stroke. This will less­ en the amount of gas pumped into the carburetor each time the accelerator is depressed. This adjustment will reduce top speed slightly. We're asking the Dlinois Commerce Commission for another rate increase. A substantial increase, in two installments. Half this fall, half next summer. Obviously, we don't expect anyone to be overjoyed by the prospect. Who could be? What we'd like is understanding, once you know the reasons why. First, there's state law. It requires us to provide an adequate supply of electricity for northern Illinois. Not just enough to get by. - Enough for eight million people, the instant they need it. Second, that's not the half of it. Since we're regulated by law, the Commerce Commission examines our costs and sets our rates. When they're no longer high enough to do the job, we have to prove it at a rate hearing. Third, hearings aren't pushovers. They're public trials before the Commission and the Commission can go as long as 11 months before it has to take final action. „ Fourth, that's 11 months of inflation. Inflation that eats away at the increases we've gotten. It's why our operating costs have been going up faster than our revenues since 1967. More than twelve percent faster. Now, that may not sound like much to you, but to hundreds of thousands of people who've invested in us over the years, it's been devas­ tating. If they bought our stock in the early '70s and sold it today, theyti lose half their money. It's not the kind of situation that's going to inspire anyone to invest more. And more is what we need. A billion three hundred million dollars' worth, this year alone. If we don't raise it, we don't have a prayer of upgrading our existing facilities. Or providing the additional 6.6 million kilowatts northern Illinois is going to sorely need in the '80s. We've got no choice. Not as long as you expect your air condi­ tioner to keep going when it's 99° in the shade, or the furnace to pump hot air at 20° below. No law has to tell you that. It's just common sense. We can't take tomorrow for granted.
