The Albanese trial ia being held in Bloomington on order of presiding 19th Judicial Circuit Judge Henry Cowlin becauae of exceuive'pre-trial publicity in northern Illinois. Albanese is standing trial for the murders of his 68-year-old , Michael J. Albanese and his wife's grandmother, Mary Lambert, 89, in addition to the attempted murder of his brother and felony theft charges The prosecution, conducted by McHenry County State's Attorney Theodore Floro, contends Albsnese poisoned family members to gain control over the Allied company, of which his father waa founder. According tQ Bot Holiday, of the Bloomington Pantograph, who has been summarizing some of the trial teetimony, the younger Albanese, who bore a clear family resemblance to his accused brother, testified that on one occaaion he became sick sfter eating some pea soup st the McHenry plant.

Chairwoman Barbara Kropp called on the board to take a longer range look" at college expenses. She proposed that the board form a citizens task force with each trustee selecting two candidatee. She said she hopes those recommended are spread throughout the area served by the college. "You can't get any better input than the citizen input," Trustee Anthony Wujcik said lYustees said the committee would review everything, including the poasibility of a referendum if state aid continues to slide However, college adminiatrators are reluctant to tap the public for more money "The reason we've gone so far without a referendum is becauae of the local taxpayer," said Trustee Herbert Lutter.. In an unrelated financial matter, the board is considering whether to reimburse former Trustee Robert Weidner for "reasonable" expenses he claims he incurred while serving at MCC. Weidner ia asking for $2,004 spanning 167 meetings The board statutes clearly show that Weidner is within his rights to do this, but two questions remain: whether Weidner should receive the 20 cents per mile he is requesting or less, and whether his case is affected by a statue of limitations which would deny payment for expenaee more than five years old. $337,400 Budget At Montini The Montini Catholic schools adopted the school's 1983-83 budget at Its test meeting.
