"It's incumbent on them to read their policy statements,'.' he said. Board attorney, John Bolger, read the amended portions of the contract and pointed out the softened language which was more explicit about treat­ ment of disallowed payments that might require reimbursement to the federal government (National Institute of Mental Health grants). At the previous meeting officials of the McHenry County Association for the Retarded had questioned responsibility for repayment of grant moneys if disallowed because of errors by other than their own organization The board accepted the committee recom­ mendations. Schneider asked if they should in­ clude similar language in the existing contracts covering distribution of tax money raised in the county. It was, noted that with the issuing of the current contracts there could be two possible reactions: surprise with new contract (provisions) or some Ob­ jections to the old contracts. On the advice of Attorney Bolger that the present < county) contract wording had existed for six years and that changing it would be better postponed to the beginning of the next contract year, the board agreed to make no changes at this time. In other business the board debated the wisdom of spending mental health money to send board members and employees to a convention of Com­ munity Mental Health centers at Dallas April 20. Board member, Clint Claypool, noted that employees of other county agencies had been asked to restrain expenditures Smith insisted that the staff found the sessions beneficial and that it was important for them to go. Schneider noted that he had attended last year and that "it made me a better board member." When Voetberg suggested that It's federal grant money, not county tax money," Claypool responded, "It all comes out of my pocket (as a taxpayer)." Smith revealed a pressing reason for attending as determining what will be President Reagan's position on grants and how to work with other mental health agencies to protect their in­ terests affected by proposed 25 percent » A Big Hit It was big -- it was interesting -- it was exciting! All those accolades, and many more, were fitting descriptions of McHenry's eighth annual Trade fair, held from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon at Parkland school, sponsored by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce. But probably most important of all, the fair was popular. By the time the last weary worker had left the school at 5 o'clock Sunday, about 10,000 people had passed through the doors and on to a variety of exhibits and demonstrations. For Donald "Butch" Meyer it was a job well done, with a tremendous amount of cooperation from individuals, businesses and organizations. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD reductions of mental health funds. Voetberg said, "There is not much we as a small board in McHenry county can do (by ourselves)". Claypool noted. "If all agencies feel the same way there won't be any cuts." Schneider noted that the question was not of cuts but redirected funds "from our control to block grants distributed through Springfield." There was a possibility they won't be tunneled back here, he warned Assistant director. Ann Patla. ex­ plained "Illinois has no mandate for community, mental health programs and big tstate) institutions would get (funds) at our expense." Smith added. "Then our efforts should be directed to Springfield Block grants are a poor way to distribute money It is seldom spent as intended (by the lawmakers). Revenue sharing is an example " Board member. Dr. Ray Pensinger, moved to permit two board members and the director and assistant to attend since there was enough in the budget • NIMH) to pay for it The tx>ard ap­ proved. with members Claypool and Jeanette Shapiro dissenting PARSLEY OUT, HARTLIEB MAY STAY (Continued from page 1) The Rev Ganss said the board decided to renew Hartlieb's contract because his position is closely related to the principal "Structurally . many responsibilities delegated to Parsley were immediately delegated to Lou At the time the decision was made, it was hard to disassociate one from the other." Board members were concerned that the firing of Hartlieb might be con­ strued as improper because of am­ biguous wording about whether the principal is the only person who can renew the contract of the Dean of Students.

He added that board members did not want the matter to go into further arbitration. Father Ganss praised Hartlieb for his work at Marian Central but com­ mented. "In terms of the leadership qualities we like to see, the board is looking for a different type of person." Parsley, who has been at Marian since 1959 when the school opened, said he did not have any plans. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) promises to continue well into the early summer. This is the way it is with a city that hosts so many feathered friends. If some of the spring signs cause dismay - like dodging wandering bicyclists -- take heart. You could be part of the real problems of your comunity. And if you don't believe they exist, you have to be hiding. In a long career in the newspaper business we have never known so many, and such varied and serious problems as have come to light in the last few weeks. It seems improbable that any one person could have escaped being a part of at least one of them. If you are one of the lucky ones, stay in hiding. Sitting in the midst of all of them prompts a despondency for the health of the community we love! KAF * FINANCIAL PROJECTIONS FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS (Continued from page 1) However, it is the opinion of the com- mitee that the district accept any deepening deficit that is not offset by increased state aid next year. If the referendum should fail to pass, the committee said it must consider further cuts for 1981-82 in view of the worsening long-range projections. A list of possible additional cuts were listed as band, athletics, freeze ex­ pected jobs vacated by retirees, etc., and learning center directors. The conclusion of the committee is that if the referendum passes, no further program would be eliminated for 1981-82. If not, further program cuts muSt be considered. It was recognized that state aid ac­ tion by the legislature this spring is an important variable to this decision. During the instructional portion of the meeting, Ron Jania, director of Pupil Personnel.Services team, gave a report on the kindergarten screening program Screening and registration are now in progress. .Jania pointed out that screening has been carried out in the district since 1972 About 350 children will be screened for the fall class of 1981. Of the total number, Jania said, about 20 percent of 70 children will need some extra attention, and of the 70, about 25 percent will require special work. A disclosure was made of class sizes and enrollment projections for the 1981- 82 year Following executive session, the board took two actions. In one, they voted not to renew the contracts of two teachers not under tenure In the second, they voted for renewal of the contract of Dr. Richard Farmer for one year, subject to review and possible revision of compensation HOSPITAL . FRICTION AIRED (Continued from page 1) until after the scheduled April 21 meeting, and a second directing the board not to enter into a contract with the selectee until after the meeting of the new board and election of its of­ ficers, whenever that would be. Bishop hoped that some members of the existing board would not vote in favor of a contract. Several board members were present in the audience. In other actions the membership passed resolutions affirming the ac­ tions taken at this meeting and cautioning the board of directors to take no adverse action against any employee voting at this meeting. As the meeting opened, Bishop, who was selected by the membership to preside, outlined the recent history of non-cooperation by the board in response to requests for information, or calls for meetings, by failing to recognize legally passed resolutions by hospital organizations and the inability of the membership to complete elec­ tions at the annual meetings. He noted also the unclear status of the voting rights of members who paid their dues in January when the by-laws specified December. In order to meet any future challenge to the proceedings, the membership was divided into December and January categories when voting on the by-laws changes and were recorded in that fashion. When the by-laws were changed, this classification was dropped Bishop assured the membership that the special meeting was called in conformity with the corporation's by­ laws and that it is not within the power of the president or the board of direc­ tors to unilaterally cancel it. Bishop said President Leroy Olsen's response to the call was to advise that it would not be held, but he would call a meeting on April 21. Bishop noted that this April 21 meeting could only be a "bull session" since the call for it omitted any subject matter for action. But the membership would get their proxies ready for that meeting or any other that the board might call • Approved by the membership to fill the three 3-year vacancies on the board not elected at the annual membership meeting were Clinton B Claypool, Mel J Prust, and James Bishop Ernest Rich was elected to fill the one-year vacancy due to the resignation of Mary Snyder. To fill the four new positions, the group selected Harry Hans and James Fraser for one-year terms and David Kent and Herb Reihansperger for three-year terms Dr. James Mowery and Dr. Parmod Narang were accepted for one-year terms representing the medical dental staff and Helen Smith for a one-year term from the hospital auxiliary. John Huemann voted approximately 239 proxies for the various actions. About 16 persons in the audience voted individually. No nay votes were recorded on the by-laws changes but one nay was cast on the slate of directors. Leroy Olsen, board president, con­ tacted later, claimed there was a "cloud" over the "special meeting" and that it was not called ifor under the existing by-laws. He said the official board position was not to recognize it or the actions taken and that most of the board did not attend in order to prevent the appearance of sanctioning the proceedings Dlsen said that in response to various members' request to call the special meeting, the board had urged them to attend the April 21 meeting, but the group had chosen to go ahead with the March 31 session. The April 21 general meeting is properly called, he asserted, while expressing doubts about Tuesday's "rump session" as the board's attorney termed it Olsen said that a number of good people were involved in the mem­ bership action and he suggested that they were being "misled" by persons with questionable motives and goals. He insisted that the board was reluctant to "go public" with the internal dif­ ferences since the fate of. the cer- tificate-of-need for the new hospital is in question, Bishop said that his group was also reluctant to air the dispute in the media and at first hesitated to permit the details to be published However, his group later reasoned that with the increased number on the board there should be better representation *and they would have a fair shot at raising the $2 to 3 million needed to support toe further hearings on the certificate scheduled in July J About the rumored selection of fihe new chief executive officer. Olsen said it was no rumor, that the board is in t\e process of doing this and claimed that it is the board's obligation to the hospital to secure a new executive or ad­ ministrator He suggested that this membership group was seeking to reinstitute the former executive who was released earlier this year About the changes in the by-laws, which Olsen conceded were due, "What's the urgency9" he asked He also claimed that the time frames for some of the actions requested by the membership were too short Olsen also noted that the board may have to. "although reluctantly", resort to court actions to defend itself against thoroughly illegal attempts The April 21 meeting of the board and membership is set for 7 p.m. at the McHenry Country club Bishop said that the membership is gathering proxies in preparation for this meeting and believes that they will have well over half of the estimated 406 total membership, which will support any actions that might take place at that time Bishop insisted that the faction which he represents is not an emotional "one issue group" and that they have a better chance of securing the cer- tificate-of-need for the new facility at Bull Valley road, which he says is the important issue in the county now Olsen noted that the slate of can­ didates proposed to fill the vacancies due to term expirations and resignations was defeated by voice vote at the Feb. 7 general meeting, but that the board had legally, according to present by-laws, reappointed the in­ cumbents or replacements to serve until new directors are elected. Bishop said that his group hopes the board will seat the directors which his membership elected at the April 6 meeting of the board, but doubted that they would. Faith Church Cantata Presentation April 5 "It Took A Miracle", composed by John W Peterson, will be presented by the senior choir of Faith Presbyterian church Sunday. April 5, at 10:30 a m The choir will be under the direction of Janet Webel John W Peterson is said to "offer a master stroke in combining that first exquisite concept with the unsurpassed glory of the Easter message, the greatest miracle of all." The church promises that the audience will be blessed and thrilled as never before as they hear this 26th major work. Peterson's eighth Easter cantata.
