PAGE It - PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY. APRIL 9,1M2 VILLAGE VOTES BUDGET CUT (Continued from page 1) Trustee John Toler, another finance committee member, suggested an alternative course of action -- seek a balanced budget by cutting spending. About $12,500 will have to be lopped off village expenditures to bring it in line with the estimated revenues of $85,000. Toler made the motion and it was seconded by Thompson, who said he believed it was the only other course of action. However, Trustee William Warner disagreed. Warner was the only trustee to vote against a balanced budget, and he did so out of "protest." He said the finance committee and the rest of the board discussed a tax hike earlier and agreed that it was the proper action. His contention that they "changed their minds" upset him. The village could not withstand such a dramatic cut, he said. "The motion carries but we're going to have to cut it awfully darn thin," board President Eugene May said. The last member of the finance committee, Trustee William Rabelhofer, said he felt the need to review the budget more closely before opting to raise taxes. "I couldn't see having to raise taxes at the present time with the way the economy is," he said. If the board decides on a levy in­ crease, it must be filed with the McHenry County clerk by September. The alternative is to stick with the decision to cut expenditures. The details will be hammered out in upcoming finance meetings, but Thompson ventured a guess. He foresees most of the cuts centering around the Police department since it is Spring Grove's largest expenditure. Ironically, that is the area the levy was supposed to strengthen. MOSQUITO ABATEMENT FOR CITY-SHORES (Continued from page 1) Teta, spoke against the use of Malathion. "I support the mosquito abatement program and I am glad to hear of the emphasis on larviciding," Teta said. "But, I object to the fogging with Malathion." Teta suggested further techniques aimed at killing the mosquito larva -- grading breeding sites, draining pools and re-watering stagnant ponds. He also said the company should monitor on a weekly basis and increase the criteria for determining when to treat. "If the dip test shows one to three larva, you should treat then," he said. The company spokesman said the >$Sfttm«at begins when 10 or more larva are found. Teta said children, the elderly, those with allergies or respiratory ailments and pregnant women were particularly susceptible to the chemical. spokesman said the treatment bee- Sindelar pointed out that Malathion had been cleared by the U.S. En­ vironmental Protection Agency for use in mosquito abatement. He said further that tests have shown that increased respiratory problems after spraying were more strongly related to the use of fuel oil as a base for the chemical than the chemical itself. "In the concentration of seven-tenths of a fluid ounce per acre, the chemical has the same toxicity as aspirin and less than that of table salt," he said. The representative said the suggestion to drain breeding areas would be hampered be legislation protecting weuapds. Teta noted that the county Health department recommends the use of a different chemical. The company man reiterated that Malathion was cleared for use by the USEPA and added that it was a third as expensive as the chemical recom­ mended by the county. The motion to adopt the multi-year program was approved unanimously. ACTION ON ZONING DEFERRED (Continued from page 1) be from a traffic standpoint. Alderman Jack Pepping (1st ward) pointed out that the city stands to lose tax revenues and other merchants stand to lose business if something is not done. He said people typically do not go to just one store when they are shopping. "We have to take this into con­ sideration," Pepping said. Alderman Wieser said the petition expressed the opinion that if Fuhler is allowed to expand the building, then the others are "entitled" to as well. "That's their opinion," Wieser said. "The problem is with the zoning or­ dinance and I think we should study it." Alderman Raymond Smith com­ mented that if any building were to burn down, as the Justen Furniture store did, then the owner of the property should have the privelege to rebuild. "I can appreciate that he's asking for an extension (of the building foun­ dation) that he did not have before," Smith said. "Perhaps we can work something out that is reasonable." Further action on the matter was postponed to May 3. ALBANESE: "NOT GUILTY" (Continued from page 1) Judicial Circuit court from his cell in McHenry county jail, where he is being held in segregation on bonds totaling $3.5 million. He is accused of murdering his 69- year-old father, Michael J. Albanese, his wile's grandmother, Mary Lam­ bert, 89, and Mrs. Lambert's 69-year- old daughter, Marian Mueller, by administering poison to them. He also is charged with the attempted murder of his 34-year-old brother, Michael Jay Albanese, counts of felony theft and the obstruction of justice charge. Judge Henry Cowlin of 19th Judicial Circuit, will hear the murder trial in Bloomington, in McLean county, after deciding in favor of the defense on a motion to change the place of trial from this area. The defense contended Albanese could not receive a fair trial here because of extensive and continuing news coverage. Cowlin has set the murder trial for May 3. C.A.R.E. MEETING C.A.R.E.

These staffing approvals included dismissals, renewals of contracts, hiring of a new employee, and granting of special leave requests and reassignments. Daniel Blanford has been hired as district maintenance engineer. This new position will fill the district's need for someone with both supervisory and hands-on abilities for maintaining the $20,000,000 worth of plant and equip­ ment owned by the high school district. Leave was granted to Mrs. Marcia Maule, West campus science teacher, for school year 1982-83, as was leave without pay granted to East campus mathematics teacher, Alan M. Olsen. Due to the diffusion of the Title IV-C project effective July 1, 1982, William Godshall will be reassigned from his duties as coordinator of that project and be a full time class teacher of Special Education. The Title IV-C project, which provided simulated employee experience for students, was a three-year federal program which has now run its course due to the ex­ piration of funding. In teaching staff dismissals, sue part- time teachers were dismissed, sub­ sequently to be rehired in the fall. This procedure is routinely followed each spring due to the amount of class load changes that occur between the spring and fall semesters. An honorable teaching staff dismissal was approved for a teacher where the projected subject enrollment denotes the need for only a half-time staff person. This teacher will be given the opportunity to accept the half-time position if so desired. Certified staff members who were approved to receive contractual con­ tinued service (tenure) unless notified 60 days before the close of school are: Deborah S. Berg, Bonnie J. Gonzales, Muriel Jannotta, Karen L. Kraft, Marcia A. Maule, Gina R. Riddle, Emory E. Swinney, Linda C. Usrey, W. Jeff Varda, James G. Wheeler, Karen L. Wheeler and Ronald M. Zim- mermann. First-year certified staff members recommended and approved for con­ tinued employment for the 1982-83 school year were Jamie D. Fiffles, Denise T. Hay, Gail E. Rock-Howard, Susan T. Long, Patricia A. Marks and Jerald R. Rankin. The extension of the probationary period for a full-time second year probationary teacher was approved to include the third year of probation that is permitted when it is deemed necessary. The board also approved the dismissal of full-time, first-year probationary teachers. A separation report for Ray Randow, East campus custodian, was approved, effective April 15 Approval of the 1982-83 teaching staff request was granted after discussion of the staffing analysis outlining the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) teaching staff members by department for the current school year, and the estimated needs for the 1982-83 school year. The net change for the for­ thcoming school year is the addition of two sections, or a two-fifths teaching position district-wide. Approximately 21 students more than the number of students scheduled for classes a year ago at this time are scheduled for the fall semester. The 1982-83 school calendar, a common calendar generated on a county-wide basis, was approved, with the opening of school scheduled for Aug. 26 and 27 as Institute days, and classes to begin Aug. 31. The 1982-83 school year will close June 8,1983. Next year will be the fourth common county calendar. The junior class prom sponsors were granted their request for buses to transport those students attending the junior-senior prom April 24 and 25. The board has provided this service for the past seven years. Approximately 250 students are expected to attend the prom, which will be held at the Wagon Wheel resort in Rockton. Dates and format for graduation and graduation-related events were presented by Greg Johnson, West campus principal. Graduation ceremonies will be held at McCracken field Friday, June 4, at 8 p.m. In other action, the board approved bids totaling $14,008.53 for in- terscholastic athletic supplies and equipment for the 1982-83 school year. The athletic director recommended accepting other than the low dollar bid in 22 cases, because companies with low dollar bids did not offer equipment that met the necessary specifications. The approved amount awarded represents $1,368.74 more than if the board had accepted all "low bids". A bid for video equipment to be used in the athletic department, to be pur­ chased with funds donated by the Booster club, was awarded to Midwest Visual Equipment company, 6500 N. Hamlin avenue, in Chicago. Items included in the bid, which is the low bid of $2,599.55, are: a portable VHS recorder with stop frame, slow motion, reverse, fast search, carrying case for recorder, portable VHS camera, camera carrying case, video tripod, Kwik-set dolly, portable color television, and portable black and white television. Supt. Robert Swartzloff and the board acknowledged the donation of $160 to the West campus library as a memorial to Karen Lescher, a teacher in the high school district for many years. The contribution was made by the McHenry Teachers' Bowling league. Fiesta Days Talents Needed "Fiesta Days is a co-mingling of the talents of many for the enjoyment of all", states the certificates of ap­ preciation that are awarded annually by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce, the sponsoring organization. As the plans for Fiesta Days are getting well under way, the committee invites any individual, group, or organization to include talents in the 10- day festival. Within the many events already scheduled from July 23 to Aug. 1, there is still room for more ideas and more talent, of any description - dan­ cers, jugglers, bands, singers, magicians, comedians, games, floats, foods, or just plain helping hands for any project. Now is the time to present their ideas and offer of assistance for consideration by the Fiesta Days committee. Call the Chamber office at 385-4300. The Fiesta Days committee has the ability to coordinate the ideas into the myriad of exciting events that unfold for the enjoyment of all. Using the theme, "Future Perfect: McHenry", there will be many new opportunities for more participation in several innovative activities. Watch for further details and announcements.
