Before her .affliction with Multiple Sclerosis, Delores worked very hard raising two boys. ^"1 didn't have time to pay attention to others," she said. "But now I have the time. Unless you're handicapped, you just can't understand." Anyone who is interested can contact Dee for more information at 385-6846. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) cost him his eyesight. Even that han­ dicap failed to suppress a spirit that kept a keen mind active until the end. As McHenry grew too rapidly, "Pat" felt a tinge of sadness, but it never diminished the loyalty he felt for his home town. "Pat" Owen was a gentle and a kind man with a broad smile, an interest in his fellowman, and an abiding hope for the future of McHenry. "Just make history an important part of that future". A family member said that would have been the advice of this modest man who carried with him much of the history of McHenry through his 84 years. Here was a man who inherited en­ viable qualities essential to the development of a wilderness area almost 150 y^ar^ago, and used them as well in hiS/O' 1 KAf HOSPITAL "MEMBER GROUP" DIRECTOR SLATE IS ELECTED (Continued from page 1) for the new hospital and work with the existing board for that goal. Dan Schmitt, a retiring director, claimed that increasing the board size and by-laws changes would not advance the CON application. Aside from the fiscal information, all other data had been collected and submitted, he said. Furthermore, board changes could suggest discontinuity in leadership, he pointed out. Virginia Williams, parliamentarian for the board, defended the existing by­ laws as the constitution of the hospital corporation and the framework for its orderly growth. She warned that changing or stretching its provisions for short term goals could be damaging in the long run "It (the by-laws) won't snap back," she said. Director Dave King, in a more conciliatory tone, warned that larger boards can be more unwieldy and membership thereon tend-to-become more honorary than working. While conceding that probaMythe decision has already been made, he urged the corporate membership to think on the by-law changes before voting because of their "ripple effect" on the hospital organization. According to the attorneys involved in hearing on the temporary restraining order against the old board hiring a new CEO until after this meeting, Judge Harry Strouse made no ruling April 20. It is expected with the new develop­ ments that the injunction will now be allowed to expire as the unified board now takes over. The present membership of the board of directors who will be retained are Dean Cunat, Kendall Bird, Don Howard, David Cain and Dennis Conway. Two vacancies exist with the resignations of Olsen and Jones, which will be filled through appointment by the new board. One more vacancy will be filled when the new CEO is hired and assumes his seat as a director. FEE PACKAGES APPROVAL AIDS SCHOOL BUDGET (Continued from page 1) rate. James Van Bosch, Junior high principal, said that the fee will help pay for music contest fees. Three concerts are held during each school year. Students participating in sports will be paying $5 per minor sport and $10 per major sport (baseball, basketball, football) at the high school level and $3 or $5 fee at the Junior high. Intramural sports fee will be $1 per sport. Ad­ mission to games will increase by 50 cents per student and adult, following the Shark conference agreement to increase ticket prices. Cosmotology students will have to pay the full price for their "tools of the trade" kit next year. At present, the board is paying for half of that kit Bob Gough. assistant high school principal, said this will be a double blow for cosmotology students because the kit price has recently increased from $140 to $275. The adoption of a fee policy will generate $11,930 for the district. The JTO's (Johnsburg Teachers organization) plan to "scrap" athletics in the district, presented to the board at a special meeting March 31, and redistribute the monies to rehire teaching positions, was not accepted by the board Several athletic options were presented to the board in line with the 15 percent Junior high and 20 percent high school cuts recommended at earlier meetings "Quantity" (a number of programs) versus "Quality" (high standards of a program) were the issues involved in the formation of the options Ad­ ministrators (7 to 9) and coaches in the district have been in favor of providing a strong "quality" athletic program for students so that they may be better equipped with skills and experience to compete. Junior high athletics program will not include sixth grade cheerleading, softball or awards next year. Supplies will be cut $900, forcing the programs to "live off the shelf. One improvement will be made. Wrestling, because of its increased interest and participation (now 50 students), will get another coach ($450). The 15 percent cut will amount to a $2,550 savings. High school athletics commanded the most discussion, with board members disagreeing on the final vote 4 to 2, in favor of dropping wrestling (a newer low interest program) and golf. Some members felt wrestling should be kept because it corresponded with the Junior high program and there was a question about keeping wrestling on the lower level if it was dropped at the high school. The program's popularity, however, secure# its position at the Junior high, but not at the high school. Option 1. which was accepted by the board, cut wrestling ($3,670), golf ($1,300), miscellaneous supplies ($4,295) and travel ($350) for a 20 percent budget cut of $9,615. Other options considered were: Option 2, cut golf ($1,300), cut tennis ($2,830). assistant coach girls' track ($550), supplies and travel (same as above). Option 3, cut golf ($1,300), cut wrestling ($3,670), cut assistant coach girls' track ($550), supplies and travel (same as above), ADD girls' volleyball coach. Discussion also pursued the course of cutting "Quantity" by eliminating freshman football, basketball and baseball; Junior varsity basketball and football; freshman volleyball; assistant girls' track coach; supplies and travel. Jim Meyers, high school athletic director, said that he and the coaches strongly opposed these cuts because they would severely damage the program and prevent a large number of students from going put for sports. "If we cut these programs," said Meyers, "we'll off our head to spite our face. Students won't get enough ex­ perience to compete against other schools." The 15a percent Junior high and 20 percent high school cuts plus the participation fees will produce a $20,735 savings. Athletics will still require a $44,440 subsidy next year. In other business, the board voted to buy a used Ford tractor and mower from site and construction monies, not to exceed $3,000. It will be used at the high school The present tractor-mower will be transfered to Ringwood Pat Bingman reported that the district is applying for $8,800 in gifted funds, which will be used to start a new program in instrumental enrichment, which involves new theories in teaching children various approaches to thinking. Ms. Bingman said that these techniques have been proven very beneficial, especially in logical thinking processes for math. Graduation dates were set. providing unexpected circumstances do not occur in the next few months. High school graduation will be held Saturday, June 6, Junior high graduation will be held Monday, June 8 (high school gym). The last day of school will be June 9.

Each year, the foundation holds leadership seminars at the state and international levels, providing op­ portunities for outstanding tenth graders to arrive at a better un­ derstanding of themselves and their future role in the economic system which motivates productive activity in our society.
