PAGE 1« - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. APRIL 0.1181 agencies in the county seeking 706 board fiscal support and authorized three extra meetings for this purpose. Noting the reduction in the federal CONSIDER OPTIONS TO CARE FOR HANDICAPPED (Continued from page 1) granting of state funds for start-up costs. The Mental Health board con­ tracts with the various companies and agencies to serve the employees at $1 per month each. The grant money is not repayable, and not all of the continuing revenue is needed to sustain the program. Ms. Patla, added that the balance can be "plowed" into other programs. Smith also noted that the DMH referred the Rockford region (for mental health) to seek guidance from the McHenry County 708 board in establishing an EAP. As a condition for this aid, Smith suggested, they should share in some of the contracts that would result in the EAP start-up in the Rockford area. Since this would involve changes in working conditions and compensation for the two key em­ ployees, he asked for an executive session to discuss the effects. He said the resulting monies from this joint effort could continue to support local programs. Smith explained to the board that problems were occurring at the state level in distributing the block grants which the federal government has now placed under state control. Smith said the state apparently is not yet geared up to accept or disburse this money although they have had about a year's notice. One of the problems is the difference in federal and state fiscal years, and to make the transition they will have to have a 13-month or a one-month fiscal year. He said there are also accounting problems. McHenry county is the only county that distributes money through a "708 board" to various independent agencies on a contract basis. The question, then, has been raised at the state level, "Can a 708 board get block grant money?" If the answer is no, Smith sees an "incredible mess." Also there is multiple funding where some local agencies get state money from sources other than the 708 board which could lead to charges of duplication. One solution would be to add up all the grants or aid programs and distribute through one source, a board member suggested. Smith predicted that July 1 would come and no decision would be made by the state. "There are ways to do it and I'll accept any way, just so we get our check". "There is no option not to fund 708," Sr >lh said. He noted the issue at the s'ate level is that they could set a precedent in McHenry county. The other counties don't have separate agencies. Their money is distributed to one central agency, Smith said. In other business, the board reviewed its procedures for considering budget requests from the seven or more grant money available, the board suggested that it should change its criteria for setting priorities for the various programs. In previous years most weight was given to preventive programs. With reduced money board members said they might have to concentrate on saving the survival or support programs. As this meeting was designated the annual meeting for reorganization purposes, the board approved unanimously the retention of the previous year's officers and com­ mittees for another term. These include Bob Schneider, president; Ray Pen- singer, vice-president; Phyllis Koep- pel, secretary; and Dirk Voegtberg, treasurer and finance committee chairman. WORK FOR SAFE ACCESS CROSSING AT KNOX PARK (Continued from page 1) with inadequate warning being given to local residents to boil their water. Meurer wanted to know what the city's procedure was for breaks in the water system. The supervisor in charge of the water department said that the water supply in Lakeland Park was privately owned and his people had no jurisdiction. Meurer insisted that residents out there were entitled to city protection, regardless, with sOme kind of notice by police or somebody in case of a break. The council agreed that a procedure should be established for some type of warning, either by the employees of the company engaged in construction or possibly by police cars with loudspeakers. In other business, the mayor proclaimed May as the beautification month for McHenry. Park Director Pete Merkel was authorized to spend up to $1,500 to relocate or plant new trees for Arbor day; consideration was given to solving a drainage problem at the northeast corner of Knox park ; and the public works department was asked to specify certain hydrants for tree and lawn service spray trucks to fill their tanks from. A problem raised by Alderman Nolan regarding a discrepancy in terms of vehicle tags for residents of the newly annexed McHenry Shores as being unfair pricewise was disregarded as City Clerk Gilpin and Shores residents present claimed there were few or no complaints from the people affected because of compensating benefits from the city. The council was advised that Jim Althoff had bought the "old mill" and was sandblasting its walls preparatory to restoring it as a landmark. Althoff had not indicated what he planned to use the building for as of this date, it was reported. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) ployment, there is often a reluctance to let them contribute with a proficiency they have gained, sometimes over a lifetime. But there is a firm in Texas - a large one - at which no one has had a reason to level the charge of discrimination. You won't catch it phasing out its older salesmen or dropping not-too-subtle hints about retirement. They savvy the truth that it just wouldn't be good business. One of these employees, at 70, leads his division of 2,000 in sales. And a retired pharmacist who joined the company only last January is already a top salesman. At 73 he qualifies for "rookie of the year" honors. And why replace a third, who at 74 has sold enough to average $60,000 a year in commissions for the last five years? These men aren't even the "old timers" in the business. That distinc­ tion goes to a "youngster" who is still selling at 84. Another, who ranked twenty-first in sales last year, isn't far behind at 78. The company points out that an "aged" sales force shouldn't be mistaken for an"aging" sales force. The company actively recruits new salesmen, and in 1981 added 600 new faces to its sales force. Almost 100 of these 600 salesmen are over 60 and 20 are over 70. Of the company's top 100 salesmen last year, 20 were over 65 and almost all were over 50. The youngest was 30 and ranked seventieth. Let's see some other companies get "on the ball". It would appear to-be the smart thing to do. KAF ALDERMEN SMUG OVER "SURPRISE" BILLS (Continued from page 1) with the state retirement system. In other Shores related business, Alderman Liz Nolan presented a request by McHenry's police chief, George Pasenelli, to sell some Of the equipment acquired from the dissolved Shores police department which was termed useless to McHenry. This included squad car equipment, some outdated' radios, four firearms, and uniforms and belts. The council okayed the disposal of the equipment for whatever money could be received for it. The guns would be sold only to licensed dealers who could recondition them and properly sell them to customers entitled to buy such equipment, the chief said. In another matter, Alderman George Harker asked that McHenry employees resurvey the stop sign situation in the Shores to see if the need is for more or less stop intersections so the city could update their stop sign ordinance.

Give Approval To Migrant Classes At the last regular meeting, the Johns burg school board approved the application to operate the Migrant Worker children's program from June 16 through Aug. 11. Mike DeWolfe presented the ap­ plication indicating that this movement was for a single summer, but the an­ ticipation was for a long term operation. DeWolfe stated the $57,000 budget was based on approximately 125 enrollment. Benefits to the community would come in summer employment for teachers, administrators, and college students. Representatives of the Little League met with the board to answer questions raised about storage of equipment for the League program during the sum­ mer. Storage at various sites is necessary in order to alleviate tran­ sporting the equipment from place to place for each game. The League representative is to meet with the high school administration to work out the final storage plan. The board expressed approval of the League program and said they en­ couraged the use of the entire school facility. The concern of the board was that storage be done in such a manner that vandalism could be avoided. The board voted to accept the low bid Doctor's Suit Names Hospital By Angela Burden SHAW MEDIA NEWS SEKVtCI Dr. John P. Hill, whose staff privileges recently were revoked at Harvard Hospital, has filed a two-count lawsuit against the health care facility. The complaint suit, filed by Wood­ stock lawyer Michael T. Caldwell, claims the hospital decision adversely affects the legal rights and duties or privileges of Dr. Hill. The first count in the complaint is for administrative review. Judicial review is being sought because, according to the suit, the "decision is illegal, erroneous and void." The complaint states the decision of the hospital board was based on a hearing of the hospital's joint con­ ference committee, which was held in violation of the rights of Dr. Hill under the fifth amendment of the U.S. Con­ stitution and also violated his rights under the Illinois Constitution and that the decision was reached in violation of the state's Open Meetings Act. The doctor is asking the court to reverse the decision and enter an order directing the hospital board to reinstate Dr. Hill with all due rights and privileges as a member of the hospital staff. The second count in the lawsuit seeks declaratory judgment and asks the court to conduct a hearing concerning the charges purportedly brought against Hill and to review the entire matter. The suit asks the court, after the hearing and review of the record, to find the termination of Dr. Hill's staff privileges "arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable," and the court to enter orders reversing the hospital's decision and directing the hospital to reinstate him. Dr. Hill was informed by the hospital administrator early in March that he would no longer be able to admit or treat patients or use equipment at the hospital after the board's decision, reached on the recommendation of "a clear majority of the active medical staff." Hospital authorities declined to be specific in the reason for the revocation of Dr. Hill's privileges at the facility, citing the doctor's right to privacy. Judge Substitution Denied A defense request for substitution of judge in the Charles M. Albanese murder trial was denied Wednesday afternoon. Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Court Judge Leonard Brody denied the motion filed by defense Attorney Richard C. Kelly seeking a judge other than Henry L. Cowlin, who is assigned to the trial. Albanese, of Spring Grove, stands accused of the arsenic poisoning murders of three members of his family. Judge Cowlin, last month, allowed a motion to change the place of trial, which is scheduled for May 3 in McLean County courthouse, Bloomington. The defense had contended that Albanese could not receive a fair trial in this area because of the vast and concentrated television and newspaper coverage of the case. The 44-year-old defendant is accused of murdering his 69-year-old father, Michael J. Albanese, his wife's grand­ mother, Mary Lambert, 89, and Mrs. Lambert's 69-year-old daughter, Marian Mueller, by administering poison to them. He is also charged with the attempted murder of his 34-year-old brother, Michael Jay Albanese, in addition to charges of felony theft and obstructing justice. All the murder victims were residents of Leisure Village in Fox Lake. Albanese was president of Allied Die Casting Corp., 3923 W. West avenue, McHenry. The firm was founded by his father, and his brother is treasurer of the corporation. Wednesday's court motion stated Kelly had applied for a loan earlier this month at the McHenry State Bank to cover attorney's fees for the defense of Albanese and as collateral for the $15,000 loan, presented Allied Die Casting corporation's note in the amount of $150,000 payable to Charles M. Albanese and his wife, Virginia. The motion contended the cor­ poration for several years had been a regular depositor and banking client at the bank, which is the only bank in the state Allied has regulary done business with. The defense said attorney for McHenry State Bank is John L. Cowlin, brother of the assigned trial judge. The defense contends that after the loan was referred to John L. Cowlin for review, it was rejected by the bank's vice president. The court was petitioned to refer the matter to another judge, as the defendant feels Judge Cowlin "is prejudiced against him." of the NCR computer proposal for in­ stallation of the computer program. The figure $73,150 includes hardware and software as well as a word processor. The business manager of the school advised of a six-year savings of $105,800 with the installation of this program. A proposal to rent a room from SEDOM for the coming year to ease crowded conditions was accepted. This is a room which SEDOM has used, but enrollment for SEDOM indicates this space will not be needed for next year. Hal Thompson, band instructor, presented to the board a trophy won by the Johnsburg band as the "best in the county." Thompson said he did not know whether all schools in the county were represented, but that the com­ petition offered an excellent showcase for the students' talent. He also said that this competition was selected over the state competition because of the conflict of Easter vacation and the state contest. Thompson received plaudits from the board for an outstanding job. Misdemeanor Charges Filed Against Three Shaw Media News Service Several area men were arrested on misdemeanor charges in separate incidents during the weekend according to Police Chief George Pasenelli.
