\ PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21.1W0 ARREST TWO DURING BURGLARY OF HOME (Continued from page 1) siding of the Gas Express station, 4407 Hi Point road, McHenry, and stole $95, 20 cartons of cigarettes and eight lighters. Gerald Moreau, of 716 W. St. Paul, McHenry, reported the theft of his white pickup truck which was parked at a tavern in Island Lake. The Sheriffs police were called to Fergie's Farmhouse tavern, at 522 S. Route 31, McHenry, where someone had taken an antique duck and goose call. Tucked inside the call was $122. Robert G. Nordmeyer, Sr., of 3701 James, McHenry, reported the theft of $25 in coins from his apartment. Joseph Gray, of 101 Shady, McHenry, called the police when he discovered that someone had smashed the wind­ shield of his jeep and stolen a camera. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) expressions take priority on messages we send? Of course, there are always the jokers who prefer studio cards. One favorite we saw pictured a humorous rendition of a pilgrim and a helmeted turkey in determined, head-to-head confrontation on a football field. The message: "Did you hear about the first Thanksgiving football game between the pilgrims and the turkeys? The turkeys were doing fine ... until the pilgrims ate their quarterback". 1980 Thanksgiving will be a mixture of sentiment and humor, of a home holiday and a special day spent half way across the country. It will be celebrated with a farm grown turkey roasted at home, served with home grown potatoes, dressing and cranberry sauce made with loving care in the kitchen, and a pie whose crust has been fashioned by expertise gained through past successes and failures. It will be celebrated with oven-ready, frozen turkey, potato buds from a box, dressing prepared on top of the stove, and a pie whose crust never had a good look at the hands shoving it into an oven to brown. But whatever kind of Thanksgiving it is, this holiday will have roots. They lie in the memory of pioneer settlers who remembered to give thanks for the gifts of a new country, enjoyed in the freedom they treasured so greatly. KAF ASSESS COLLEGE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON COUNTY (Continued from page 1) not been resolved and will be dealt with later, the firm noted. The board also accepted a recom­ mendation to amend the contract with Althoff Industries to permit a sub­ stitution of specified light fixtures of equal quality which would save the college $9,120. Ground breaking for the long awaited gym and multipurpose building now under contract, is set for Nov. 20, ac­ cording to Barb Pautz, board secretary and trustee. In other business, B. J. Anderson, coordinator of the child care program, gave an overview of its activities goals and noted the opportunities for par­ ticipating students to gain clinical experience in the nearby Ridgefield child care center. CONSIDER OPPOSITION TO EDISON RATE HIKE (Continued from page 1) Kelly revealed a possible savings of $30,000 to the school district if suc­ cessful. While the boird listened with in­ terest, the one question of members was whether or not they would be asked to contribute further at a later time. The business manager advised that there is time before the hearings to find out answers to this question. With this in mind, the matter was held over until the next meeting. Another major issue addressed at the Tuesday meeting concerned the separate interscholastic athletic program for the two campuses. It was noted in information distributed to the board that when operation of four-year instructional programs in each building was decided upon, one of the major objectives was the development of individual school identities. While school leaders feel that separate interscholastic athletic programs in each school are a necessary part of this plan, the board said that it is necessary at this time "to take a position as to when the decision will be made as to when there will be separate interscholastic athletic programs". The position of the board, according to the report made Tuesday, was to continue to function with one in­ terscholastic athletic program for the next few years. "The district will not be in a position to seriously consider separate in­ terscholastic athletic programs until certain criteria has been met", it continued. The criteria includes the enrollments of each school increasing in relation to the enrollments of the other member schools of the Fox Valley conference, and the financial condition of the district on a sufficient level of financial support that it can be committed to the operation of two athletic programs at the current level of quality. The board will appoint a committee to formulate recommendations to the board. Further information can be found on the sports pages of this issue. East Campus Principal William Dodds was present to announce preliminary plans for a rededication ceremony at East campus. The half century-plus-old building has been renovated and school leaders are anxious for the public to see the work that has been done. Dodds said he was interested in ob­ taining names of some of the oldest living graduates and will soon be looking for a speaker. The tentative date for the rededication is Jan. 18. Administrators indicated they would study the suggestion of Robert An­ derson of the board, who presented an incentive system as a possible way to solicit cost savings from the staff. Two bids were accepted. One was that of Payton Chevrolet to supply a pick-up truck for use as a service vehicle by the Transportation depart­ ment. The cost was $7,700 and will be shared equally with District 15. The second was the bid of Swartz Associates, Inc., in the amount of 95,055 for a Universal Centurion 10-station weight training machine for East campus. A West campus student, Aruna Anne Lahoti, was granted board approval to graduate at the completion of this school year after six semesters of at­ tendance. Miss Lahoti indicated she wanted to pursue a career in medicine. The board accepted the resignations of Kay Heiss, East campus LMP in­ structional aide, and Ken O'Donnell and John R. Bauer, bus drivers. Lawrence Freund was employed as East campus head custodian and Frank Branham as West campus custodian. After returning from executive session, the board voted to expel an East campus student for the remainder of the 1980-81 school year for activating a false fire alarm. In other action, members voted to set the price of the Building Trades house at 1017 Hanley at a minimum of $68,500. It was also decided to make available to any prospective buyer a three-year financing plan. A change was made to increase the board paid contribution to the Teachers Retirement system for district ad­ ministrators to 7 percent; also to in­ crease health insurance benefits for administrators and classified staff.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Study Common School Problems A delegation of three school board members and administrators from McHenry Community High School District 156 will be among the more than 4,000 school officials attending the 1980 joint annual conference of the Illinois Association of School Boards (IASB), Illinois Association of School Administrators, and Illinois Association of School Business Of­ ficials, Nov. 22-24, in Chicago, ac­ cording to Supt. Robert O. Swartzloff. "This meeting is a rare opportunity for board members and administrators from districts all over Illinois to discuss problems and solutions, get advice from authorities in many areas of education, and gain insight into some of the issues affecting our schools," Swartzloff said. The meeting schedule includes nearly 50 workshops and panel discussions on a broad range of educational topics, including collective bargaining, current issues in school law, board self- evaluation, women in administration, teacher evaluation, and others. "The range of problems facing school boards is so broad, and the issues in­ volved so complex, that none of us can go it alone," said IASB president Elizabeth Cleaver, a school board member from Peoria. "The annual conference is a source of information and advice that would otherwise have to be gleaned from many sources at much greater cost of time and money." Barrington Man To Court After Theft A Barrington man wanted in Lake county for aggravated assault and theft of a shotgun was arrested near the McHenry-Nunda library after he was recognized by county police. Shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday, the county police received a call that a man had reported finding a shotgun. The man was identified as LeRoy Weber, 31, of 1015 Northwest highway, Barrington. Weber was taken into custody and charged with possession of a firearm by a person within five years of release from the penitentiary, possession of a firearm without a firearm owner's identification (FOI) card and possession of cannabis.

Doll Murder Trial Opens Statements such as "He's innocent", and "There is no tangible evidence against him", were made by the at­ torney for Terry E. Doll, 25, of Crystal Lake, as the latter's murder trial opened in the 19th Judicial Circuit court, Woodstock. Doll is accused of the Aug. 8 murder and robbery of a neighbor, 65-year-old Lenea Jurs of 391 Terra Cotta, Crystal Lake. The prosecutor. Assistant State's Attorney Henry Sugden, said the Grand jury had indicted Doll on charges of murdering Mrs. Jure by strangling her with an electrical cord in addition to burglarizing her apartment and rob­ bing her. Judge Roland Herrmann of McHenry, who is presiding over the murder case, said the trial which opened this week might continue to Thanksgiving eve and resume after the holiday.

If you buy another home that costs as much or more than the sales price of the old one, within a specified time, the profit from the sale is not included in your taxable income. The second home must be bought and occupied within a period ending 18 months after the sale. A 2-year period is permitted when building a new home. This tax deferment applies only to the sale of a home which is the family's main residence. When figuring the amount of gain for which tax may be postponed you may deduct for "fix-up" expenses if they were accomplished within 90 days prior to the sale, and paid for no later than 30 days after the sale. Check with your accoun­ tant or the IRS on details if this matter affects you. It could be well worth your while. At age 55, you qualify for the big bonanza - a one-time $100,000 exclusion of capital gain from the sale of your principle residence. This latest change is retroactive to July 26, 1978. • sjojc )|( )|c )jo|c)|c If there is anything we can do to help you in the field of real estate, please phone or stop in at CENTURY 21 CARE REAL ESTATE, Rte. 120 - across from Jewel Foods - McHenry, Phone: 344-1033.
