PAGE 16 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2,1981 TWO DIE IN AREA CRASHES (Continued from page 1) City of McHenry police cited Edward J. Barwig, of 2920 Parkside, McHenry, for failure to yield the right-of-way following a two-car collision at the intersection of Green and Pearl streets. The driver of the other auto, Dorothy G. Bona to, of 2618 Kashmiri, McHenry, told police she was stopped at the in­ tersection and proceeded when the Barwig vehicle entered the crossroad, striking her car. Ms. Bonato was taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad for examination. The McHenry Area Rescue squad transported two people involved in a one-vehicle accident near the in­ tersection of Richmond and McCullom Lake roads last Wednesday. The driver of the auto, Lynda Zielke, of 3509 Countryside, McHenry, was cited for driving too fast for conditions after the car she was driving went off the road. Ms. Zielke said she had taken her eyes off the road and when she looked back, traffic had stopped. She swerved right to avoid a collision and struck the culvert on the west side of Route 31. A car, driven by Timothy Moore, of 4820 Elm street, McHenry, was totalled last week when the car went off Draper road at Chickaloon and struck an above-ground pipe and terminal box. Moore said he was approaching a curve and lost the brakes and control of the vehicle. $20-PLUS TAX RISE FOR CITY HOUSEHOLDS (Continued from page 1) family units and 108 single family homes. Alderman Edward Datz questioned RDG representatives Mstar spaugh and James Berg regarding the repaving of some streets in Fox Ridge, which have fallen into disrepair. RDG Vice- President James Berg reported that contracts had been signed, but the heavy equipment operators' strike has stalled any im­ provements. The council voted unanimously to accept the audit prepared by Lester Witte and company, of Crystal Lake. Mayor Joseph Stanek appointed James Blum and Alderman Michael Wieser to the public advisory board of the sewer system study project which has been undertaken by the Village of McHenry Shores. Grant requirements for the study stipulate that the committee is to have two representatives of the City of McHenry, two from McHenry Shores and one from the unincorporated part of the planning area. The committee's function is to act as liaison between the granting authority and the engineers and the citizens in­ volved. The appointments were ac­ cepted by unanimous vote. A motion to deny a request from the Illinois Public Action committee to solicit door-to-door in McHenry during the month of September failed for lack of second. City Attorney Bernard Narusis said he believed the council could not limit these activities as they are protected by constitutional guarantees of freedom of politics, press and petition. The non-partisan group solicits funds and signatures for petitions relating to political projects. The council passed an ordinance which prohibits fishing and boat launching from the city beach at Petersen park. Mayor Stanek reported that the bids for the Meadow lane resurfacing project could not be let until December of this year. It was originally expected that the bids would be let in October. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) parently in disbelief that we could have perpetrated the 'crime' under his watchful eye. We could only wonder what he would have done if he had detected our departure with a full stomach at his expense. A co-worker recalled a similar ex­ perience in which she reached her car in a local parking lot before realiziing she had picked up merchandise in one store and walked out with it on top of bags containing items bought elsewhere. These are chilling thoughts in view of shoplifting charges made against McHenry area residents that have come to our attention in recent months. We knew they were as innocent of their misdeeds as we were. Business people have every right to press charges, and in most cases the victims of those charges are guilty. But when you read the names and the of­ fenses, view the list with charity. It could be--and is--a- someone doing something dumb, not criminal. KAF MIKA JONES WINS NEW PEANUT TITLE (Continued from page 1) topped a field of 25, Mika was asked by the judges what she was thinking enroute to the contest. Quickly she answered, "Winning ". The youngster is a straight "A" student at Edgebrook school, where she is in second grade. Her summer hobby has been swimming in Griswold lake, near her home. The family has lived in this area for three years. Her parents listed Mika with two talent agencies and she has been called to model for a Chicago advertising agency. As district winner, she will include among her activities, working in Chicago to promote Peanut dayv Gelwicks pointed out that all fnoney collected in the Sept. 25 peanut sale in McHenry will remain in the com­ munity. 9.9 PERCENT AVERAGE SALARY INCREASE IN DISTRICT 12 (Continued from page 1) training in this endeavor. Materials are part of the le gifted program.

Mr. Pollock announced the addition of a cooperative program sponsored by Seaquist Valve company of Cary. This is a CETA program combining adult education and high school students. The course is titled Machine Repair. Dr. Vince Barry, University of Montana, will conduct a workshop on Relating subject teaching to the world of work Wednesday, Oct. 21, at the high school. In executive session, the board accepted the resignation of Cindy Inglesby from the Title I Reading r.^program and employed Joyce Vayo to fHl the vacancy. Cynthia Davis was employed as half time Junior high language arts teacher. Roger Ludwig resigned as P.E. teacher to return to school. Dave Dambroski was employed to replace Ludwig pending his release from his present position The SEDOM representative was instructed to vote approval of the SEDOM budget, although members expressed a desire for more consideration in acquainting themselves with the budget. Included in it was an average 13 percent salary increase. Previously, the board had instructed Dr. Andreas to discuss with SEDOM the dramatic increases (30 percent) in transportation costs proposed by that group. The amounts being proposed would almost provide cab fare for each student, board members complained. At the previous meeting the board authorized a study of a user fee ^ a a J s v f t a f W fejgfe karat requested by parents of band members. While participants of some athletic programs pay a $5 to $10 fee, a $25 fee is proposed for about 96 band members to pay for early transportation daily to band practice. The board had indicated that if 100 had signed up for the activity the cost would be about $25 apiece for the entire school year to defray transportation costs. Andreas recalled that when the band was instituted about 10 years ago there was no bus service and parents brought students to the 45-minute early morning practice themselves. Later, the board funded the bus transportation for band members, but recently funds have ecome tight and many activities are being assisted with users' fees. Some parents are questioning if the fees for band member transportation are justified or equitable. The Johnsburg school board broke with tradition this year and voted to conform with the county school _. calendar and start the season Aug. 31, before Labor day. Andreas notes that it was only because Labor day came so late, that the board took this action.

The board awarded the bid for correcting problems with storm drains at Middle school to Butch Nowak of Johnsburg, who was low bidder. Recent heavy rains had revealed flooding problems with inches of tfater in 4 of the school classrooms, the board was advised. The board approved resolutions designating several areas as serious safety hazards which enables the district to bus students who live closer than a mile and a half to schools and obtain a partial reimbursement from the state. Dave Rigby, a junior high teacher who is the outdoor education coor­ dinator for District 12, reviewed plans for outdoor and environmental education for the board. Included are training of student leaders and assistant teachers, setting up nature trails and St. John's nature center, and a clean-up of the old cemetery. Also involved is a lot of community service such as recycling projects and a ski- athon to raise money. The board okayed a student activity account to permit operation of a student store at Busch school as discussed in an earlier- meeting. Senior Citizens Reai Estate Facts | (By Yvonne Beer, Executive Officer, McHenry County Board of Realtors). To say that housing sales have suf­ fered during the last two years is an understatement. Existing home sales have declined to their lowest level in five years and affordability is the major culprit. But affordability problems do not reside sotely in the cost of the house itself, rather, the problem can be found in the cost of mortgage funds in excess of 17 percent on a national average. On Aug. 13 President Reagan signed into law budget cuts and the largest tax relief package in history. During deliberation on the tax legislation the Congress clearly mandated that the All Savers certificate, also known as a tax exempt savers certificiate, should be authorized and that those depository institutions issuing the certificate for 15 months after Oct. 1,1961, should use 75 percent of the net proceeds for residential mortgages and agricultural, lending. This action by the Congress and the subsequent Signing by President Reagan of the tax bill have focused on Presidents Round Table Urges Positive Thoughts "Think Positive" is the slogan adopted by the McHenry County Senior Citizen presidents at their round table meeting in August. It was the consensus of those present that, by everyone going forward with a positive attitude, the whole program structure for senior citizens in McHenry county would be improved. While there are still tutthlem& facing the council organization, the presidents noted that rumors based on misun­ derstanding of those problems have only tended to increase public doubt and negative support. A very important issue discussed was how the President's tax cut bill is af­ fecting the senior citizens in the area. It was noted that if the base Social Security payments of $122 a month and other supportive services should be stopped, many older persons would have to be taken care of in some other way. The President's group received in­ formation on how the 1981 White House Conference on Aging will affect the lives of both future and current older Americans. Louise Kruetzer, stat local leader of Senior organizations, will be attending the conference in- Washington in December, having been appointed by Governor Thompson to represent McHenry county and the surrounding area. Mrs. Kreutzer will be addressing various organizations in the county in the next two months on issues that will be resolved at the December con­ ference. The resolutions adopted at that K.me %*vdl submitted to the Legislators are expected to benefit all senior citizens now and in many years to come. The next presidents' round table will be held Oct. 8 at 1 p.m. at the Crystal Lake senior building. All current leaders of McHenry county senior organizations are urged to attend this meeting. the need to help both the depository institutions and the beleaguered home buyer. The tendency now is to sit back and wait for great things to happen, but that won't work; individual action must be taken. , President Reagan must now be en­ couraged to keep after those in­ stitutions in government and those people within his administration charged with carrying out the tax law. For instance, the Federal Home Loan Bank board must take prompt action to promulgate rules for implementation of All Savers certificate by savings and loans and it should strongly suggest to its member institutions that they should move promptly and energetically. To achieve long range economic stability both the President and Congress should be urged to further reduce federal spending to reduce the federal deficit. The Federal Reserve board must know in no uncertain manner that its fluctuating monetary growth policy is detrimental to economic stability. The tax exempt certificate, if applied properly, could reduce mortgage in­ terest rates by two or three percentage points. Federal spending policies that provide for small deficits and a less restrictive monetary growth policy by the Federal Reserve board could further reduce interest rates by as much as four percentage points. The McHenry County Board of Realtors has told and will continue to tell the President, the Congress and the appropriate agency heads that housing has been, for too long, overlooked in the scheme of economic revitalization. If housing is allowed to be ignored any further the return to strength may not be measured in years, but rather, in decades. CONSERVATION MEETING The regular meeting of the board of trustees of the McHenry County Con­ servation district will take place beginning at 7 p.m. in the district office at 6512 Harts road, Ringwood, Thur­ sday, Sept. 3.

The door-to-door campaign will include the communities of McHenry, Crystal Lake, Woodstock and Cary. All proceeds will go toward the March of Dimes battle against birth defects. Patty Gould, Crystal Lake, is the 1981 Mothers March chairman for McHenry 4 county. "Mothers March was started in 1950 and has since become one of the most highly recognized fund-raisers for the March of Dimes," said Gould. "But, Mothers March is not only a fund- raising event," she added, "it's also an opportunity to acquaint as many people as possible with the tremendously needed work being done by the March of Dimes." Recruitment for Mothers Marchers is going on right now. "Those who are interested in helping cover their own neighborhood should contact their community chairman right away," stated Lorre Miller, McHenry chair­ man. MCHenry residents may reach Ms. Miller by calling 385-8446. Several Mothers March captains have already found the experience to be a rewarding one."I really feel like I'm doing something constructive in the March of Dimes' fight against birth defects," offered Debbie Gibson, a Woodstock volunteer. "One thing that I've discovered is that there is a feeling of unity among the volunteers," said Mary Meyer, a McHenry captain. "Everyone is working together to help make this year's Mothers March a big success!" There are many medical and educational services made available in the northern Illinois area because of the money raised by March of Dimes volunteers. These have included fun­ ding for fetal monitors, educatiional films and genetic counseling services. More information about the March of Dimes and its programs in this area may be obtained by contacting the Northern Illinois chapter, March of Dimes, 129 S. Phelps avenue, Rockford, 111., 61108. "One thing to remember is that the fight undertaken by the March of Dimes is really everybody's concern," added Gould, "because our children is everybody's future. Mothers March gives everyone a chance to show their concern by marching in their own neighborhood." People may volunteer through Sept. 11.
