t PAGE If - PLAINDEALER FRIDAY. JANUARY IS. 1M2 r 'm RINGWOOD SCHOOL TO REMAIN OPEN (Conttnuad from page 1) administration proposes to drop writing lata a* a Junior elective since all mwlirtlMllf were required to take it this year, and to eliminate reading lab except where competency standards haw ndt been met. Language courses (Spanish or French) would be offered only If class enrollments were of adequate size. Baste math would be eliminated with such students entering the Career and Consumer Math class. There would also be some changes in health, business, home economics and in* dustrift! occupations offerings. The administators noted that all the dropped courses with the exception of Coop ; would be retained in the curriculum guide but would not be available to students enrolling this year. Student registration will take place Jan. 18 to 29, when teachers will be advising students about proper requisites, the nature of course of­ ferings. With appropriate counseling, students will make their selections with the approval of their parents. On Jan. 21, eighth graders will receive their registration materials. An orientation program for the eighth graders and parents is set for 7:30 p.m. Jan. 25. The daily attendance at the high school was at its highest percentage in four years, according to a report presented by staff member Robert Gough to the board. As of December, '81, it was at 92 percent. In December of 1978 it had dropped to a little over 84 percent he indicated. In intervening years the attendance record had held to about 91 percent for the corresponding period. The board accepted the Statewide Evaluation of the Occupational Education program evaluation of the Johnsburg consolidated schools which largely endorsed the progress of the occupation programs at Johnsburg but did identify some areas for im­ provement or change, or advocated more use of the Like County Area Vocational center./Program director Steve Pollock touched on recom­ mendations in his One-Five year vocational education plan and requests for grants. Sophomore parents are being invited to an open house at the LCAVA (vocational center) located at 19525 W. Washington street, Grayslake, from 1 until 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 17. In other business, administrative assistant Pat Bingman advised the board of increased rates for the medical insurance coverage for district employees. The rates will increase by $10.15 for single persons and $21.56 for dependent coverage, both due to un­ favorable loss ratios recorded by the insurer, Blue Cross, Blue Shield. This means that more money was paid out in benefits than received in premiums. The JTO • (Johnsburg Teachers Organization) was planning a meeting with Bingman and others of the in­ surance committee to study the problem. Northern Illinois Gas confirmed the projected savings by the district in changing the electric heating system at the new high school to gas. The first year's savings including the cost of changeover reached $15,300, the gas company reported. It was also projected that at current rates the probable savings for the coming year would be about $40,000, the difference between $82,000 for the combined total use of gas and electric compared with $123,000 for electric as a sole operation source. R. Sundell and G. Foster of the Junior High Band Booster club reported raising $6,500 for use t>y the band music program, all of it generated by ac­ tivities of the parents involved. McCLORY OUT OF HOUSE RACE (Continued from page 1) strong opposition from incumbent Congressman Sidney R. Yates (D- Chicago) in his home 9th district. The announcement was made from McClory's Washington office. The reapportionment plan also places GOP incumbent Congressmen Edward Derwinski (R-Flossmoor) and George O'Brien (R-Joliet) in the same 4th Congressional district. In the state legislature, Sen. Jack Schaffer (R-Crystal Lake) will be running for office in the new 32nd Legislative district. It was originally thought that Schaffer would have to relocate his office to retain his seat in the newly-created 32nd district, but this was not necessary as on examination of boundary lines. Incumbent Sen. Donald E. Deuster (R-Mundelein) will also be seeking the senate seat in the 32nd Legislative district. An aide in the senator's office said Wednesday the petitions were in the car and on their way to Springfield. OPPOSITION TO BUSINESS ZONING (Continued from page 1) Cullom Lake area as urban residential, as opposed to business or industrial. The petitioner's attorney, Scott Nolan, pointed out that the county Comprehensive Plan showed the same stretch of roadway as business or in­ dustrial. Stanek commented that if the zoning were changed, and ownership of the property changed for whatever reason, the new owner would be able to use any of the permitted uses, regardless of any prior understandings. Nolan said that there were other business uses on McCullom Lake road, noting the well drilling operation and a machine shop operated by Robert Petersen. Further testimony showed, however, that both of these businesses were in operation long before the zoning or­ dinance was adopted and were, thus, legal non-conforming uses. ZBA member Ray Deneen, of Marengo, asked Hodges if he would consider a conditional use permit to allow the sale of used machines from his property. Hodges replied that he did not know this option was open to him and had been advised that the only route was business zoning. Attorney Nolan told the ZBA that his interpretation of the ordinance and what he had been told led him to believe the change in zoning was the only option available. Attorney Nolan told the ZBA that his interpretation of the ordinance and what he had been told led him to believe the change in zoning was the only option available. In his testimony, Hodges told the board that he was not looking to sell new machines and would erect no signs or additional lights on his property. Hodges said he was simply looking to buy a used machine that was in disrepair, fix it and resell it He noted that the focus of the business would not change from the repair aspect. "I saw sortie future in buying used machines (at a Sheriffs auction for example), fixing them and selling them," Hodges said. He pointed out that the repair business had reached a "plateau" and was not generating enough money to support his family. Hodges estimated the annual trade in machines at about 20. Hodges commented that approval of the petition would generate little in­ crease in traffic to and from his property. ZBA member Kathleen Schaid, of Crystal Lake, asked Hodges if he was familiar with the other permitted uses in the "B-3" business zoning classification. Hodges said he was and commented that he was not interested in any of them. In concluding his presentation, At­ torney Nolan said Hodges was in the same situation as many other small businessmen - he was having a hard time - and was just looking to sup­ plement his income. Hodges added that the sale of used machines was simply a natural ex­ tension of the business and could mean the difference between growth and stagnation. The question of whether a conditional use permit would allow the sale of used machines from the property was not resolved at the meeting. The county ZBA will meet at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 26, to deliberate and vote on the petition. From there, a recom­ mendation will be made to the McHenry County board, which has the final word. ( f j l v n i » * f Ibx Sheltered Income Now... Financially Secure Retirement Later. At Marengo Federal Savings you can do both with an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and a Keogh Retirement Plan. (IRA) The primary advantage of the IRA is that taxes on both principal and interest are deferred until you begin drawing on the account during your retirement years. And because those are the years when your tax bracket is likely to be much lower than it is now, the tax bite should be much less. Now every wage earner qualities. Every wage earner qualifies for an IRA account even if you are already covered by an existing retire­ ment plan. And that's not all. You can shelter more of your income than ever before -- 100% of earned income or $2,000 (whichever is less). If you're a couple -- each earning wages -- you could shelter as much as $4,000 of your income (or $2,000 each) every year If there's a non- working spouse, the maximum that can be sheltered is $2,250 per year Other IRA facts you ought to know about. The new law governing IRAs will apply initially to your 1962 tax return. You will be eligible to withdraw funds from your IRA when you reacn the age of 59 ki. You are required to begin withdrawing funds when you reach age 7014. Premature withdrawals could result in substantial penalties. KEOGH Retire maul Plan (A plan for self-employed men and women.) If you're self-employed you can build a retirement fund by setting aside up to 15% or $15,000 (whichever is less) of tax-deferred income each year during your peak earning years. Every dollar you deposit in your Keogh account can be deducted from your taxable income. And you pay no taxes on principal or interest until you begin withdrawing funds during your retirement years.

That's the way Lillian Anglese would have wanted it. With her customary unselfishness, she would have insisted on sharing the teaching pride that was hers. To acquaintances, she was first of all "a lady", a fitting characterization. To those who knew her better, she was even more than "a lady". She was a highly intelligent person; a top teacher; someone vitally interested in the world about her even when illness prevented her from being an active part of it. | To those of us who knew her best, she was a loyal friend whose memory will be treasured forever. KAF Teen Crime Options Focus Of LAMCOG Public Meeting State Sen. Don Deuster (R- Mundelein) will bring a series of in­ novative options to the problems of teenage crime in Lake and McHenry counties when he addresses the January public meeting of the Lake and McHenry Council of Governments (LAMCOG). The LAMCOG meeting will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 18, in the Island Lake village hall on Rte. 176, just west of Roberts road. Deuster authored the Juvenile Crime Act of 1962 that was enacted over Gov. Thompson's veto and took effect Jan. 1. The new teen crime measure is written to compensate victims of crime, help keep youthful offenders out of the court system, and promote public service work. A key feature of the act, Deuster said, "is the fact that it is optional for the police, juvenile offender and parents. Most important, youngsters who make restitution or perform public service work will see how justice really works." -y "Don Deuster will spell out all the details of the new teen crime act," LAMCOG Treasurer Joseph Longmeyer said, "when he meets face- to-face with residents of the LAMCOG area." Also, Deuster is expected to explain terms of a plan he is promoting that would result in trying some teenage offenders as adults, especially in serious crimes of violence or crimes where adults are active participants. Deuster chose to address the LAM­ COG meeting, Longmeyer said, "because LAMCOG offers the only major public forum that covers the interests of people on both sides of the Lake and McHenry county line." Deuster, incumbent senator from the state's new 32iuji district, represents residents in the entire LAMCOG area. His district includes Lake county from Mundelein west of Rt. 45, the northern half of McHenry county, all of Boone county and Winnebago county into the Rockford area. REGISTER MOBILE HOMES Marilyn L.
