ISM general m b y C l I C I d l News MCC meeting on contracts termed illegal by attorney An executive session held recently by the McHenry County College board of • turstees to discuss a faculty grievance was in violation of the Illinois Open Meetings Act, „ according to James Bishop, legal counsel for the McHenry County College Faculty Association (MCC- FA). But Stanley Eisenhammer, legal counsel for the MX board, said the executive session did not violate the Open Meetings Act. The board of trustees met to discuss teacher's contract and a grievance the rA had filed Sept. 12 against MOC President Robert Bartlett. The grievance protested the docking of one day's pay from teachers who took a personal day on Sept. 12 to perform informational picketing. Bishop and MOCFA President Dave mil cave a presentation to the board, and the trustees have seven days to reach a decision, had already denied the grievance, so the MDCFA's next step was to have a hearing with the board. If the teachers' grievance is denied by the board, the MOCFA will be ftftfarting the American Ar­ bitration Association in an attempt to resolve the issue, Bishop said. "We have submitted our grievance and the board is taking that under advisement," Bishop said "We would be most pleased if comply with our request." aid that the board's request to discuss the grievance issue in executive session was unexpected. '"ifc my surprise, the board in- sfted on the hearing being held in executive session," Bishop said after the meeting. "I strongly ob­ jected to this and advised the board that closing the meeting to the public was a violation of the Illinois Open Meetings Act." Bishop contended that the grievance hearing did not apply to one of the four exceptions to the open meetings actj negotiation, or appointment, employment or dismissal of personnel, Bishop said, adding. "They're wrong." Eisenhammer said after the board's closed-door session: "That reasoning was rejected by the Illinois appellate court in this district and by the attorney general." The board's counsel cited the case of People of Illinois vs. the Dixon School Board as proof of the board's stance. "Every grievance hearing I know of in the state of Illinois has occurred in executive session," Eisenhammer said. Bishop emphasized: "In my judgment, the meeting was illegal " The grievance issue centers on whether or not the teachers should be paid for a day they were illegally on strike, Eisenhammer said. Bishop said that the teachers had received approval from their respective department heads for the mass personal day as required in the teacher's contract. Bartlett agreed that a majority erf department heads had approved the personal days. But he pointed out that the personal day forms filled out by teachers also have to be approved tjy the college's dean of instruction, arid that the forms were not ap­ proved by the dean of instruction. Bartlett received direction from the board to give salary increase recommendations to the trustees for classified staff, administrators and part-time faculty at the board's next meeting, Oct. 27 at 7:30 p.m ' "Ihe MDCFA's cooperation in this matter has not been forthcoming, and it's not fair to halt their salary increases due to the actions of a minority group," Kropp said. Bartlett noted that this action would set a precedent because in the past, action on salaries has waited until after the teaccher's contract is settled. *3,•a*' ' '• iu.l W**] m. ... .flu lea f • CI ' mm ' Wll u w • <>: - f t . . . . ••• I I dl * *- • SSSi Company l firemen of the AAcHenry Township Fire Protection District extinguish a car fire that broke out at atxxjt 10 a.rn, . yVednesday morning in the . - . jr, - ; r : I • ' " it STAFF PHOTO-WA VNI OAVlOtO parking lot of Snug Harbor Restaurant.

Replacements on landfill hearing committee Cast told for Marian play Ee appro At Marian Central Catholic High School, the cast has been chosen and rehearsals are under way for the fall play, "Cheaper by the Dozen." Performances will be Oct. 27 and 29, at 8 p.m. at the school. r The play focuses on a family f of 12 cnildren and their parents ' who are efficiency experts and believe "what works in the factory, works in the home." The result of this belief leads to a hysterical family comedy. At first it seems that living with the rules and projects of tins family would be like living under martial law, but the situations have hilarious results. The play is based on a book by Frank B. Gilbreth, Jr., and Ernstine Gilbreth Carey. Its plot brings the curtain up and the lights on a real-life family dealing with many life situations. Mrs. Renee Cieski, play sponsor and director, feels that 1 the drama reflects wholesome family life, provides great entertainment, and still shows a serious side of life amidst the hilarity of coincidences in the Gilbreth home." Senior Mike Zegarski feels "the enthusiasm of the cast is almost as compelling as < the zeal the characters of the play in their various hysterical situations." The cast includes Wendy Bartman as Mrs. Gilbreth and Mike Zegarski as Mr. Gilbreth.

Diane Imhulse, the Council's manager of the women's department, says parents should teach children to cross streets , at designated crosswalks, preferably where a stop light is located. "Children also must be taught," she says, "never to accept a ride from a stranger.
