PAGE 18 • PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY. AUGUST 14,1981 NEW MARIAN PRINCIPAL SETS GOALS FOR SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) she did suggest Marian would be "constantly evaluating the programs" in the future. "I had heard so many good things about the Marian student body," she said. "1 felt the desire to make the investment of time, thought and effort in Marian despite the fact that I did have a contract to continue this year as an assistant principal at Boylan Catholic high school, in Rockford." Sister Shinkey, a Dominican sister who has served as an assistant prin­ cipal at Boylan for the last five years, has served as an assistant principal at St. Edwards high school, in Elgin. She taught five years before she entered the Dominican order and again for several years in business education at Regina Dominican and Aquinas Dominican high schools before being invited to become an administrator. Explaining her hopes for Marian's future, Sister Shinkey added, "I hope to draw on experience that I've gained from the six high schools I've worked at, but at the same time, maintain the quality that makes Marian what it is. "I hope to try and involve the con­ cerned or active parents within the community," she added. "Hopefully the support from parents of Marian students as well as those programs allowing for adult involvement at Marian will develop those activities that Marian will service. "I'm also hopeful that the parish pastors will help as far as the spiritual needs of Marian Central Catholic high school are concerned." Religious educators like Sister Shinkey now make application to various positions in the same way as lay people, rather than being appointed as was the practice 10 years ago. The faith dimension plays a large part in a religious educator's decision-making process. REVERSE STAND ON IASB MEMBERSHIP (Continued from page 1) felt to have undue influence because of their size. Board members planned questions which they wanted answered. Superintendent, Dr. Richard Farmer, suggested Ms. Giovannoni could advise who is on the policy board of IASB, and member Art Newbrough wondered if there was any other access to the association that district boards could use. Member Eileen Zurblis wondered if the Elementary Teachers Organization (ETO) is acting on the problem. Far­ mer indicated that the last he heard, they were. Newbrough summed up the elementary districts' frustrations. "This is an organization (IASB) which needs a change. We should get inside and rattle their windows." Following their action membership, the board appointed Newbrough as delegate and Jerry Bunting as alter- 'nate to the IASB for the Nov. 21 Delegate Assembly at the Palmer House in Chicago. The board instructed their attorney, Stan Eisenhammer, to negotiate with Jacobs, Kahan and Co., shopping center development people from Chicago, who are proposing a center along Route 120 east of Ringwood road adjacent to Parkland school about a slope easement on school property to accommodate a screening berm - -planned at the rear of the center. Since the developers had declined a licensing proposal made by the school in favor of a straight easement for the berm slope, the board wanted to find out what they are talking about. The developers had -indicated that if they couldn't get the easement for the berm the alternative c<^uld be a con­ crete retaining wall, according to the attorney. Also, licensing instead of an easement could give the developers problems with firiahcing because the berm theoretically would be a per­ manent feature to attractively screen the back of the stores. Lockwood suggested the district might get some consideration if the berm is on school property since the screen is for the benefit of the development. Bunting reminded the board that the school would be getting some benefit also. Frances Larsen insisted that there be no utility easements on school property when the developers have "all that land." And she inquired if there would be drainage problems for the east end of the school site with the berm possibly blocking flow to the south. Bunting asked if the maintenance of the easement would remain with the school. Eisenhammer said the board could attach any conditions they would want to the easement, but he reminded members that at some point they could ask for too much, and they would wind up facing a concrete retaining wall and fence. Superintendent Farmer explained the "Truth in Taxes" law passed by the state legislature this summer which mandates a hearing for the levy, specifying certain dates and prominent newspaper notices, if the leVy exceeds 105 percent of the previous year's levy. Farmer urged that the board do its budget and levy work later in the year, possibly passing the budget in November and the levy in December. They would need the prescribed 20 days advance notice of the hearing to me^ the Dec. 31 deadline. Farmer cited the problems that many officials of local taxing bodies are finding in the new law. Among these is the doubtful com­ parability of levy figures from year to year. He noted that District 15's total levy for 1980 was $3,444,000, of which they got $3,307,950. For the coming year they must levy in December pf 1981 for the school year 1982-83 against aiT assessed valuation that would be determined in March of 1982. For 1980 the assessed valuation was $152,574,829, and in December they don't know what it will be next March. "We are working in the dark," Farmer noted. Farmer added that for some of the funds such as education, building operations and maintenance, transportation and working cash, there is a statutory limit to the levy rate which many districts are bumping against already. In others, such as IMRF (retirement), tort liability costs, bond and interest, there is no limit, only actual need. In other business, the board approved the residential placement of a McHenry youngster classified as severely profoundly developmentally disabled with physical handicaps in a Wisconsin facility. . ...Approved applications for serious safety hazard findings for a number of !oc?tions in the district within a mile and one half of schools that would authorize state funding to transport students not otherwise entitled. ...Reviewed the plans for Institute Days Aug. 27 and 28 following new teacher orientation Aug. 26. Dan DeRoche, assistant superintendent for education, said a new feature for this year would be an explanation by Dave Miller, MCTA president, of the contents of the teachers' agreement with the district and its effect on working conditions. PLAN RESCUE CLASSIC (Continued from page 1) raising event sponsored jointly by the two squads. Both squads are involved because of the size and scope of the event. Rescue Classic II will be held at Chapel Hill Country club Wednesday, Sept. 23. Admission tickets cover golf with a golf cart; continental breakfast; lunch on the links; a sit-down steak dinner and four-hour open bar ; and live entertainment. Also included are prizes. Tony Varese, chairman of the Rescue Classic, points out that money raised by this event is crucially needed by both squads. "The rescue squads are not funded by any government or taxing body," he stresses, "and all money is raised by the squad members through events such as the Rescue Classic." The Johnsburg squad faces a mor­ tgage in excess of $65,000 on its new building, according to co-chairman Mark Justen, and the McHenry squad is just about meeting its operating costs. . McHenry has plans, however, to pur­ chase a new MICU (Mobile Intensive Care Unit), which easily can cost $60,000 or better. Proceeds from the event will be evenly split between the two squads to be applied to these pressing costs.

This raised about $8,500, enabling the McHenry squad to purchase a cardio defribillator which already has helped save lives. The price of the unit was $7,000, a reminder that the cost of saving lives is rather high. Thus, this year's goal is to sell a minimum of 300 tickets to help support the important work of these volunteers. Each of the squads has a roster of nearly 40 people, and the two groups have a combined 39 years of service to the community. The two squads respond to nearly 1,500 calls a year. It is especially important that this goal be met in order to offset major expenditures. Operating and equip­ ment coats are met strictly through the fund raising efforts of squad members. With th^ exception of some revenue sharing ^gifts--each of the squads received $4,000 from the township and the McHenry City Council generously donated $5,000 to the McHenry squad - all monies come from private resources. There is a $100 ticket price ($125 with a dinner guest). As one participant notes, "Even if the event weren't raising money for a group providing vital community services, it would be a bargain. The fact that it does support the important work of the rescue squads makes it even more of a bargain. And it's tax deductible too." Tickets can be purchased from any member of the Rescue squad.
