CONSTRUCT PARISH CENTER IN CITY (CoNffoood from pago 1) The lower level is essentially a large meeting hall, approximately 44 by 45 feet and can be divided into two equal meeting rooms hiding 70 persons each. At the north entrance, off the parking lot, there will be a chair-lift serving both levels. At some time in the future the lower level may be used as supplementary classrooms. In order to satisfy the state school building code, restroom , ac­ commodations for children and handicapped persons have been in­ cluded. Completion of the building is sqfiedul^l for January, 1984. Prisco, „ Duffy and Associates of Batavia fire the architects. Henry Tonyan of McHenry is the project manager. HEATING BILLS? IT'S PREPOSTEROUS! (Continued from page 1) DDCA's program will be used to meet obligations still filtering in and also be available as emergency funds for those families who have lost energy service. "While we will no longer be able to help some families pay their heating and cooling bills under the 1983 program, we want to insure that no families are without energy service," Woelffer said. "We believe that the demands for most needy families have been met and our 1984 allotment for the program is forthcoming. "Any families who wish to receive assistance under this year's program are urged to apply at their local agency from now until July 31," he added. In this county they should write to McHenry County Housing Authority, P.O. Box 683, Woodstock, III 60098, Director, Nancy Briscoe; Telephone, 815-338-7752. Those individuals who have any questions about the program and its eligibility requirements may gain additional information by calling the DCCA toll-free hotline at 800-252-8643. JULY 29,1*3 VOTE SEPARATE GRADUATIONS (Continued from page 1) philosophical concept of a district high school and questioned if the next step would be to separate the athletic Although he was assured two athletic programs are economically unfeasible, he still favored staying with a combined but more controlled graduation ceremony. Judith Zid indicated that allowing open attendance, letting graduating friends sit together, and the students tossing mortarboards into the air caused "a circus atmosphere." She also commented that the wearing of corsages on robes by girl graduates is counter to usual graduation protocol. She said she thought six tickets tq the ceremony for each graduate would improve the situation. She did not favor separate ceremonies. Neumann echoed her recom­ mendation to alphabetize the positioning of the graduates. In another action, the board adopted, on a one-year trial basis, an honors designation program. Grades earned in the honors program would, hopefully, carry weight with college acceptance committees, according to Supt. Swartzloff. President Neumann favored the proposal because, he said,' "It's purpose is to get more students to take academic courses." Student transcripts will reflect the honors designation of courses. Proposed honors courses include American Studies, College Com­ position, and World Literature. Also, a fourth year of a language, Physics, Senior Math, Math V, Biology II and Advanced Chemistry. In other business, the board ap­ proved the purchase of a mini-bus from Midland Transit Equipment company at $14,425. The bus, along with another district-owned unit, will be used to transport students to Lake Villa and Elgin for special education classes. Another contract was awarded for the purchase of Aircraft class materials to Wag-Aero company in the amount of $14,029.85. The board also approved purchases of textbooks. Board Member David Benrud voted against the purchase.^ He indicated a need to adopt a district- wide, coordinated textbook selection policy. The Teacher Evaluation policy was changed for part-time non-tenured teachers to allow planned ob­ servations or a plan for professional growth to be used for evaluation in­ stead of a previous more formal procedure. Also, Supt. Swartzloff announced a donation by Creative Kitchens and Baths, Inc., McHenry, of a complete kitchen including a dishwasher. The kitchen will be. incorporated in the next student-built Building Trades house, he said. Following an executive session, the board reconvened to' approve a change in classified (employees other than administration or teachers) staff insurance practices. The district had previously paid all of the hospital and medical group insurance for a full-time employee and his dependents. In the new policy, which excludes bus drivers, the district will pay the group insurance of the employee. Employees who work nine months per year will be able to purchase dependent coverage at rates set by the insurance company. Employees who work 12 months per year will be of­ fered dependent coverage at a cost of $27 per month. In the second instance, the district will be picking up some costs of the 12-month employee's dependent coverage, according to Supt. Swartzloff. • Swartzloff said the new policy is a part of ongoing cost-cutting efforts. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) farming for the good of the soil in the years ahead. 1 . But even with this group of responsible individuals, the temp­ tation under PIK has led to abuses. Among others, some are planting cover crops and then selling the produce, which defeats the purpose of the program. And last week's headlines told of hundreds of federal employees working at newly installed computer terminals stealing millions of dollars from food stamp, Social Security and Veterans Administration programs. But this week we learned of a request for federal funds that should make all of the others When the recent U.S. Mayors met, one of the presented urged the federal govern­ ment to provide "guaranteed medical care" for people with Acquired Im- new sease primarily (AIDS), a affecting Segments of the population that are threatened with other diseases took exception to the request. They argue that, like AIDS sufferers, they are given a. warning but the federal government doesn'J provide "guaranteed medical care". For example, tobacco smokers have been warned of the dangers of smoking; but the federal government doesn't provide guaranteed medical care to those smokers who have contracted cancer or heart or tang disease. And do Americans who suffer from Down's Syndrome, or Hodgkins disease, or other incurable diseases, receive guaranteed medical care? The mayors were informed that the Health and Human Services agency has budgeted $14 million for research into the cause and cure of AIDS. While this is considerably lower than the mayors' $50 million' request, a spokesman for the agency poihted out that the $14 million is more than the government spent on toxic snock syndrome and Legionnaires's disease over an eight-year period during this and the last decade. Our sympathetic nerve numbs at spending huge amounts for this new guarantee of medical care. KAF Rules Of Road Review Course Starts Aug. ' 7 PARADE ROUTE The Fiesta Day parade Sunday, July 31, at 2 p.m. will start on Main street, near the business district, travel east to Green, north to Elm street, then east to Riverside drive. At this point the marchers will turn north to Broad and disband at Pearl street park. Camels can go without drinking for as much as eight weeks in cool weather. After such abstinence, they can consume as much as a hundred quarts in ten minutes. THE Weather Why isn't the earth bombarded with space frag­ ments, with meteors, etc? Since it is known that such objects fly constantly through space, and frequent­ ly strike the moon, why is it they don't strike the earth? Fortunately, the earth's weather problems do not in­ clude the problem of a frag­ ment storm, or a heavy fall of Mi"1W metallic fragments crash into the moon by the thousands. The eerth's layer of gases (which is also our weather) saves us from the bombardment. The bom­ bardment actually exists and meterors and space frag­ ments are hurtling' toward us, into the atmosphere, con­ stantly. But as they reach our atmosphere, the friction caused by their exceedingly fast passage through the layer of gases surrounding the earth creates intense heat. The heat reaches such a degree that the fragments and meteors burn up and disintegrate. The next class of three seBrton of the Rules of the Road will be held in the McHenry city hall Aug. 11,18 and Capture Patient In Creek Swim The McHenry Police department assisted in the recapture of a man who tried to swim away from McHenry hospital Tuesday evening. The Fox Lake Police department had placed a "hold" on Robert Zbikowski, 29, of 135 Cora, Fox Lake, who was being treated at McHenry hospital. Zbikowski escaped from hospital security personnel and jumped into Boone creek near the parking lot and started swimming toward the Fox river. McHenry police officers ap­ prehended Zbikowski at about 11:50 p.m. July 26 at Miller's Dream Marine. In other arrests: --Matthew J. Kurtz, 25, 3501 E.
