"The removal of the agent is an obvious detriment just from the commuter standpoint," he said. RTA general manager, Bernard Ford, said at a recent meeting the RTA Authority was working with the county Transportation committee to deter­ mine priorities in how to spend allotted funds within the county. Ford noted there was no foreseeable reason why the F" v board would oppose a recomt dation of the Transportation comn He noted, however, that funds n. „ have to be taken from another form of service in order to keep the agent.

But so much for the woes of Winter. Within a few months it will be the humidity and rising temperatures that plague daily living. A good chuckle helps dispel the discomfort of even the coldest February day. It took a good bit of effort to thaw the laugh muscles Wednesday morning, but they loosened upon reading of the spoof of all spoofs on the designer jeans craze. Goodwill Industries, the organization that trains the handicapped in job skills, has chosen Valentine's day to open a sale on designer jeans for under $5. Unheard of? Probably, until this week, when Goodwill decided to fight back against the expensive, elitist designer jeans selling for upwards of $40. And the ammunition is a bright blue label with "Goodies" embroidered in the center. Goodies jeans are prewashed, preshrunk, and prefaded. They bear some of the most distinugished names in the business and are every pair of jeans recycled Goodies designer label on the back. The quality of the name brand jeans recycled through the Rockford plant sparked interest in the "Goodwill designer jean". Of course, they're only available locally at Goodwill stores in Rockford, Belvidere and South Beloit and it might take some super math to decide whether the savings on the jeans is worth the gas. But isn't it nice to know there are answers to the ridiculous prices we pay for a name, whether it's designer jeans or the collar we buy for a pampered pooch? KAF SHORES BOARD DEFENDS FURLOUGH FOR POLICE (Continued from page 1) given two-week separation pay and paid for their vacation time. In other actions, the board considered the complaint of Building Inspector Leon Zelvis that Tonyan Industries was holding conversations with trustees and other boards behind his back about completion of some construction in the industrial park. He said this was being done instead of going through the regular appeal process with ap­ propriate public hearings. Zelvis suggested that Tonyan might be trying to complete this work before the possible pending annexation to McHenry. Trustee Charles Werth challenged thL assumption, asking Zelvis for proof other than his "suspicions. However, when trustee Lillegard said that she had a letter from Tonyan regarding the project, Werth turned on her, and demanded, "What are you doing, talking with Tonyan?" Zoning Board of Appeals, Nina Keen said she had a phone call from Attorney James Militello, on behalf of Tonyan, and she and the planning commission chairman had suggested an informal presentation from Tonyan before both boards so they would be updated on the engineering on the retaining pond and other matters. Apparently the matter had been on hold since Tonyan had not pursued the matter since last year. Zelvis insisted that the information should be in the hands of the various boards before the meeting so they could study it. Ms. Lillegard said she was confused (about Tonyan's appeal). Apparently the documents (the agreement) show one thing and the drawings show another, she stated. Werth concluded the discussion, noting that he didn't understand why the matter had to get before the boards. In other business Ms. Lillegard, chairman of the finance committee, presented the "engagement letter" to retain the auditing firm of Yapella Ketchmark for auditing for the balance of the fiscal year at an estimated cost of $3,000, which the trustees accepted. She presented recommendations for transfers of funds and realignment of accounts which she said were recom­ mended by the auditors. In order for the board to be more involved in the reform and control of the village finances, the trustees ap­ proved a motion by Werth that all trustees be members of the finance committee, but at Ms. Lillegard's in­ sistence, she was allowed to retain her chairmanship. This committee will then meet during the regularly scheduled village board meetings. BLAZE GUTS AREA HOME (Continued from page 1) temperatures added to the problems in extinguishing the blaze. "The weather slowed us down a lit­ tle," Bennett said, noting that more breaks were needed because of the cold. Bennett said an investigation was being conducted to pinpoint the exact origin of the blaze. He said two dogs perished in the fire. Neither Mr. nor Mrs. Pries was home when the fire broke out. "The damage to the home and the garage was extensive," Bennett said, and added that a breezeway between the house and the garage was destroyed. The McHenry Area Rescue squad also responded to the scene, but no injuries were reported Snowmobile Thefts Sheriff's police investigated three snowmobile thefts in the McHenry area. Michael Messuck reported a snowmobile stolen from his weekend home on Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. A snowmobile was stolen from the yard at the R Weyland residence, 1117 W. Northeast Shore drive, McHenry. and John Gittings of 2505 S. Harriet, McHenry, reported "snowmobile stolen from his residence.

SALE ENDS SUNDAY, FEB. 14th VISA, MASTER CHARGE AMERICAN EXPRESS ACCEPTED Crystal Point Mad [r.ext to K-Mar ij (815,'J59-7S66 Among the many features of the ninth annual McHenry Trade Fair are a series of informational seminars that spans a broad spectrum of topics. Helpful hints on daily living, daily management, body development and circulation stimulation will be offered by exhibitors from the fields of personal counseling and physical maintenance and development. Professionals in the fields of money management, household management, household redecorating, household security, and household maintenance will offer a wealth of information that could solve a minor problem or com­ pletely change the direction of en­ deavors. The new IRA accounts that have revolutionized the savings potential of every citizen will be fully explained by banking professionals. This is a con­ venient opportunity to have questions answered on the spot. One needn't come off as a one-armed paper hanger when attempting to wallpaper a room. A seminar devoted exclusively to that topic can take the do-it-yourself look and turn it into a "You did that yourself?" phenomena. Installing an intercom may seem a formidable task, but this seminar by an electronic expert can make it a very manageable project. The security of one's home is always critical but often ignored. It's im­ portance and implementation will be pursued in one session. McHenry County college will offer information for many age levels and many levels of interest. Also offering another opportunity to have questions answered on location. The complete list of seminar topics and times will appear in the special Trade Fair section of the Feb. 24 Plait ulcaler. Parkland school, Et. 120 and Ringwood road, is the location of the Feb. 26,27 and 28 event. Plenty of free parking is available. There is no ad­ mission charge to the fair or to the seminars. District 15 School Board Studies Self-Evaluation % by James Blum At its regular business meeting Feb. 9, District 15's Board of Education discussed evaluating its own per­ formance. The discussion was highlighted by the presence of Ralph Godzicki, Field Service director of the Illinois Association of School Boards. Godzicki outlined for the board how the IASB's self-evaluation policy operates. The IASB would provide the local board with a questionnaire which covers such topics as board policy, board member perceptions and relationships, board-employee policy, board-superintendent relationships, etc. The self-evaluation would point out areas of agreement and differences, as well as "provide reassurance to board members that what the board is doing it is doing satisfactorily". After thp questionnaire is completed, Godzicki continued, it would be sent back to the IASB, which would tally the responses and bring the results back for Status Of Lakemoor Will Change After Flood Study of LAKURffor Final issuance of the results of a flood insurance study for the Village of Lakemoor will result in a change in that village's status in the National Flood Insurance program from the emergency phase' to the 'regular phase'. The study included flood plain maps showing the areas that would be inundated by a 100-year flood, flood elevation profiles, and flood insurance rate maps for the use of financial in­ stitutions and insurance agents in determining who must purchase flood insurance and its cost. When the change is final, the amount of flood insurance now available to homeowners and businessmen in Lakemoor will increase. The additional amounts of insurance will be subject to actuarial rates rather than the federally subsidized rates which are presently available. In addition, the Village will be required to adopt and enforce a flood plain management ordinance to regulate all new construction and substantial rehabilitation in the flood hazard areas designated in the report. This study was funded by the federal emergency management agency and covers Lily Lake and surrounding areas. The people most directly affected by the flood insurance study are those living near these areas. All interested persons are invited to attend a meeting to be held Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lakemoor village hall, 234 W. Rand road. The study results will be presented for public inspection. Representatives of the federal in­ surance and hazard mitigation, Federal Emergency Management agency, will be on hand to answer questions. Arrest McHenry Man After Incident Ip Parking Lot A former McHenry man was arrested by McHenry police after leaving the scene of an accident in a parking lot at Riverside drive and Elm street last Sunday. According to the police report, a car driven by Pau] A. Anderson, formerly of 3110 Crescent, McHenry, backed into another vehicle. The driver of the other car, Christopher Carlson, of 6703 Bull Valley road, McHenry, told police the An­ derson auto pulled forward and then backed into his car again. Carlson added that the Anderson vehicle then turned around and proceeded out of the lot, striking the car on the right side and hitting a pedestrian in the left leg. The pedestrian, who refused medical aid, said he got out of the Carlson vehicle and attempted to stop Anderson to talk to him. Anderson said that the Carlson vehicle was totally blocking the exit to the parking lot and he had to drive on the sidewalk to leave. While turning his car around, two people in the Carlson auto got out and began pounding on his car, Anderson said. After he left the lot, Anderson told policejhe Carlson vehicle was behind, but then came alongside and struck his car. Anderson said he did not remember hitting a pedestrian. Anderson was arrested for reckless driving, leaving the scene of an injury accident, failure to give aid or in­ formation following an accident and failure to report an accident to police. The incident occurred at 12:15 a.m. Feb. 7. Larry J. Piklor, of 2907 Wooded lane, McHenry, was ticketed for failure to yield the right-of-way after he at­ tempted a left turn and collided with another auto. The driver of the other auto, John E. Zenk, of 1609 Crystal Lake road, McHenry, told police he was driving south on Green street at Elm when the Piklor vehicle attempted the turn. The accident occurred at 10:52 p.m. Feb. 6. k* • We will be closed in honor of Mon., Feb. 15th recommendation and discussion. In a transportation matter, the board decided to remain within the Special Education district of McHenry county's transportation system. Business Manager Bill Landis explained that until recently there had been some doubt that SEDOM would continue in the "transportation business." District 15 had anticipated providing tran­ sportation for all District 15 students who presently attend SEDOM classes at locations around the county If the cost of paying for SEDOM tran­ sportation became prohibitive. However, according to figures provided by Transportation Director Fred Goering, it would be more ex­ pensive for District 15 to provide these services than for the dklrict to pay SEDOM to do so, despite aMKi ease of $.24 per student per day from SEDOM. Board Member Gerald Bunting challenged Goering's arithmetic, stating that by his figuring, the board ^be paying SEDOM $91,000 per a service the board could 'for $82,000. ing responded that Bunting's $82,000 figure was a six-year average, that the start-up cost to the district would be $175,000 the first year. He further stated that with the board's present cash flow problems, such a sum was not readily available. The board decided to act as well to solve the long-standing problem of erosion and runoff on the hill behind Edgebrook school. Members moved to share half the cost of solving this problem with the Edgebrook P.T.O., to a maximum $1,499. Lynn Bruce, Edgebrook P.T.O. representative, and Edgebrook Principal Jim Leschelles expressed appreciation to board member Karen Salmon and the rest of the board for their help. In personnel business, the board granted maternity leave to Linda Kasniak, third grade teacher at Hilltop, and accepted resignations from Sharon Manka, currently on maternity leave from McHenry Junior high school; and Hilltop playground aide Mary Pautz. It further moved to employ bus drivers Roseann Rokosz and Nancy Carder, and Hilltop playground aide Arlene Mattes. It terminated the employment of Antonio Marchese, bus driver. No Mail 1 .
