Emil Schroeder of Woodstock, (standing, center) arranged for the en­ tertainment. Standing to his right is his son LeRoy. Standing right is Bobbie Wiltse, director of development for Pioneer Center. The Special Education District of McHenry County (SEDOM) board approved a tentative 1984-85 budget recently for submission before its board of directors in mid-August. It includes a jump in the tuition charged to district members from $14.45 to $15.19 per day. It will bring in an ad­ ditional $1,069,378, said Carl Radebaugh, assistant director for grants and business affairs. The board received $987,522 last year in tuition. The educational fund budget totals $4.8 million, compared to $4.4 million in 1983-84. Radebaugh projected that, despite a 5.12 percent increase in tuition next year, the district will have $55,400 less in its reserves than it planned. He added that it should present no budgetary problems. However, Superintendent Martin Kinert voiced his con­ cern about dwindling reserves. The SEDOM board made a conscious decision to soften the blow of the tuition hike, following two years of declining costs, by speitding $100,000 of the district's $200,000 reserves. "I'm not trying to raise a red flag," Kinert said. "But I think that bears noting." " Kinert warned the board that the option of drawing upon reserves would riot be open next year and make them more susceptible to budget fluc­ tuations. "We're playing it close to the vest, and we would abhor a special assessment at a later time, but that possibility always exists," Lapp acknowledged. The board discussed its reorganizational plan, which brought Kinert from Joliet as SEDOM's new superintendent. Barry Lamb became assistant director of programs and ser­ vices. Radebaugh took on ad­ ditional financial respon­ sibilities. The budget includes an estimated $117,500 for ad­ ministrators' salaries. District 47 , Associate Superintendent Charles Lapp was re-elected chairman. Committee appointments also were made last week. Board members Jeff Storm, superintendent of Spring Grove District 11, Jean nine Craig and Lapp were selected to the negotiations committee. Pat Philpot and Robert Bunt, superintendent of Huntley District 158, were appointed to the legal committee. The tentative transportation budget totals $510,195. an in­ crease of $2,795. If includes $72,UU0 tor gasoline and $5,664 for periodic maintenance. Bus trip scheduled to tillage demonstration First local Pioneer Center fish boil Friday If you're tired of cooking on hot summer nights and looking for an enjoyable evening, come to Pioneer Center's annual fish boil, from 5 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, August 10 at Pearl Street Park, McHenry.

One of seven suffers hypertension The McHenry County Department of Health reminds everyone that one out of every seven Americans is hyper­ tensive or pre-disposed to hypertension. Half of the people who have hypertension or high blood pressure don't know they have it, since high blood pressure by itself causes no symptoms until there are complications such as a stroke, heart failure or kidney damage. Although health experts do not know all of the causes of hypertension" they do kftftfr<that more than §0 percent of the people who suffer from high blood pressure have a pre­ disposition or inclination, to the condition because of inheritance, being overweight, smoking habits, diabetes, kidney disease or other similar problems. People who smoke and are hypertensive place additional risk to themselves. Smoking causes damage to the blood vessels which in turn, causes the blood pressure to rise. The in­ cidence of stroke or sudden death from heart attaack in the hypertensive person who smokes is 16 times greater than that of the hypertensive person who doesn't smoke. Women are just as likely to develop high blood pressure as men. Women who take oral contraceptives should be sure to have their blood pressure checked frequently since oral contraceptives are known to be a contributing factor in nypertension. So, what can we do about high blood pressure? First, have the blood pressure checked. If it is determined to be high, see a physician and follow his advice. High blood pressure can usually be controlled quite simply by following the doctor's orders, but first it must be detected. There is no way anyone can control blood pressure if they don't know they h^re a problem. Althoughhign blood pressure is a life long situation, it is usually easy to treat. So, have the blood pressure checked now and if there is a hypertension problem, follow the physician's directions. This could be a life saving move and provide ad­ ditional years of life to enjoy. The McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation District invites residents to participate in the Conservation Tillage Demonstration Field Day being presented by the DeKalltfCounty C o n s e r v a t i o n p i l l a g e Association (CTA).
