1 > PAGE 18 - PLAINPEALE.R - FRIDAY, MAY 15,, 1*1 VOLUNTEERS COMMITTED TO WORK FOr'RETARDED •- (Contlnuad from page 1) told employees recognized for five and 10 years of service, respectively: "Your professionalism, your dedication and your deep level of caring that go far beyond eight hours a day, five days a week have significantly improved the lives of clients served by Pioneer center." After recognizing the staff members, Mrs. Bradshaw, speaking directly to the volunteers stated, "Volunteers started Pioneer center in 1959. After you got things going, professionals came along to run the program, but with the great inflationary crunch of today, the only way we are going to maintain these fine and vital programs is with the help of our volunteers." She said projects spearheaded by volunteers such as the fish boil, Skate- A-Thon and Christmas cards have provided significant additional funds to supplement the budget. Mrs. Bradshaw announced plans to call a meeting of community-minded organizational leaders to help form a resource development league for Pioneer center. These staff members were recognized for 10 years of service: Sandra Mereness, bus driver; Greta Weisenberger, day school aide; Gerrie Witz, transportation manager; and Timothy Yen, quality control specialist. Staff members recognized for five years of service included: John Bobbe, adult services director; Mary Foszcz, child development specialist; Nancy Irwin, work activities-program manager and counselor; Connee Meschini, residential services director; and Laura Pohl, work adjustment training supervisor. The following volunteers were recognized for giving either 50 hours of direct service to clients or programs or 50 service hours to fund-raising func­ tions: Donna Dowdy, Marilyn Ellrich, Kathy Holt, Jane Kerley, Hope Martin, Catherine Pierce, Dorothy Pitzen and Sandy Schweitzer. Two new board members were elected during the business session, Catherine Alvary and Robert Swart- zloff, both of McHenry. Retiring board members included Katherine Vorisek, Fox River Grove, and Terry Sun- derlage, Woodstock ,All officers were re-elected: Dix Meyer, Crystal Lake, president; Bruce L. Smyth, Crystal Lake, vice-president; Michael Lan- phier, Harvard; and Ormel J. Prust, McHenry, treasurer. FINANCIAL PINCH IN DISTRICT 15 EASES / (Continued from page 1) had increased its prices after winning the contract during the current year. Cary Dairy as loWH&idder for "half pints of milk at $.1153 and the proposal of the Colonial Baking Co. of Rockford at $.60 per loaf with no escalator were accepted by the board. Board questions about the effect of President Ronald Reagan's cuts on school lunch programs elicited the information that it would be minimal, affecting only the extra milk bought. But it was expected there would be some increases in lunch prices due to inflation. Dan DeRoche, assistant superin­ tendent for educational services, ex­ plained that state school officials had advised the district to submit an ap­ plication for Title I money in the amount of $51,000, which they estimated might be available, but could be more or less than asked. DeRoche said the money would be applied to programs at Valley View and Hilltop schools. This funding is about 25 per­ cent less than previously received and would not provide for a summer component in the program due to reduction. DeRoche said that further reductions in the program are expected in future years. The contract for continued em­ ployment of Dr. Farmer as superin­ tendent received negative votes from two board members, Arthur Newbrough and Jerry Bunting. Newbrough explained later that he voted "no" because he believed the monies provided Dr. Farmer were not enough in view of his length of service and his academic qualities in com­ parison to others occupying similar positions in other comparable area school districts. Bunting refused to explain his "no" vote. While processing personnel matters, the board passed resolutions honoring retiring teachers. Mary Vycital for 29 years and Catherine Kohrt for 16 years of continuous service to the district. The resignation of Brenda M. Schendel as a teacher was accepted and the board approved maternity leave for two others. The board further updated personnel actions among the classified (non-teaching) staff, accepting eight resignations dating back to January and approving two hires. Accepted for summer employment at $3.75 per hour as custodial employees were eight young people identified as Dwight Hibicke. Brian Landis, Fritz Larsen. Alvin Reinboldt. Tim O'Toole, Steve Toole, Brian Wrona, and James Wynveen. In other business, the board in­ creased the hourly building rental rate to $11 to reflect the current overtime rate for custodial hire paid when buildings are used at night or on weekends. The board okayed a proposal by Fred Goering, director of transportation, to acquire another used mini-bus for the early education program at a cost of about $1,200. ANGER PERSISTS AT SHORES (Continued from page 1) developers protect themselves by putting out bids for engineering work. As the trustees prepared to deal with a previously tabled motion to abolish the old board of local improvements, RyssJHaderly, former trustee, urged ^haf'The"' board follow the advice of village attorney Rogers and permit the existing board of local improvements to make its final recommendations to the trustees, who could then "ashcan it" if they so desired. The recommendation was all prepared and paid for. Haderly said. Lillegard demurred, she worried that the thin majority now held on the board could change and another board could push it (special assessment program) through regardless of what the people wanted. Zelvis suggested that they change the names on the board of local im­ provements and the board acted to reconstitute its membership. President pro tem Richard Panerali said that Baxter and Woodman advised that they would bill the village for services as of July 1, and that 30 days after, interest on the obligation would accumulate at the rate of 12 percent. The board once again tabled the motion to retain Rogers as attorney because of his involvement in the pending problems of the special assessment program. Qeorge Heck, vice-president of Baxter and Woodman and in charge of the McHenry Shores project, later confirmed that $42,000 represented 60 percent of the costs of designing and setting the scope of the project as in­ dicated in the contract. He noted that his firm, as is -consistent with engineering practice, charges for extra service feuch as preparing estimates, descriptions of the work and calculating costs for possible assessments, which could represent another $26,000 In addition, the firm was to be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the engineering such as borings and chasing down legal descriptions of properties, surveys, etc. These were to be billed to the village 90 days after the last hearing. Heck said he understood the difficult position of the village, but believes he and his staff more than fulfilled their service to the village His work on the project and drawings would be closer to 85 percent rather than the 60 percent to be billed. Heck noted that the former board did reject the first contract of­ fered by his firm and so both parties accepted a modified agreement that emphasized close control of costs for the project, and both parties realized that the program might not go through. However, the work is done and it is'in the village's obligation. Heck noted. Memorial Day Rites Set May 25 Memorial day will be observed in McHenry Monday.

"By honoring and publicizing your achievements, we hope that younger students will emulate you." Neumann said.
