Ken Hendriksen, director of schools, is on vacation, and James D. Price, assistant superintendent, is out of town. "As long as I know this is in process, I don't plan to take any action," Cooprider said. According to Hendriksen's three-year contract he's the only one of the three administrators with a contract he is to "secure the educational requirements necessary for him to receive a certificate that would qualify him to act as superintendent" by May 1, 1987. Herrmann was hired April 30 to replace Kirby Lehman, who left the district for another job.

She said the district could be cited for not having a certified candidate for superintendent. But David Cooprider, regional superintendent, said he has checked with Eastern Illinois University, where Herrmann was seeking his certification.

"It's paperwork now," he said. "All of it ordinarily takes a long time, but in this case they can handle it in a few days. So I'm taking the position that as long as it is in the process in the next day or two it's fine."

Crowder would have stayed on as a patrolman starting Monday, according to a letter he addressed to the city council last week. A petition containing more than 500 signatures of people wanting him to remain as chief was assembled within two days of Crowder's announcement to resign. Charles Waggoner, who owns Waggoner's Clothing and Family Shoe Store, said the idea for the petition was conceived during a morning coffee klatch at his business. "We got this coffee pot that runs all day, and about a dozen people came in Tuesday saying that they wished they could do something," Waggoner said. Waggoner, who was defeated by Finks in the April election, insists that he did not initiate the petition in a "sour grapes" move.

He said it was an effort by several people who circulated petitions around the city. Crowder said he was happy for all the support, especially from employees of the police department, who sent a letter to the editor to the local newspaper last week.

They will return to the facilities in the evening.

Participants in both programs must be over 18 years of age, capable of self-preservation in case of an emergency and not in need of nursing care. Olympia D. Spurting, clinical director of the Logan-Mason Mental Health Center, has said the new homes will provide individualized training and a more normal setting for the developmentally disabled. He-said 95 percent of the residents already screened for acceptance are from Logan County. According to zoning committtee Chairwoman Joan Ritter, the update began several months ago with the establishment of guidelines for group homes.

She said the opening of residential centers by Alpha Omega Corp. of Decatur -on Railroad Avenue and on South Kickapoo Street possibly speeded up the process. Both will provide housing and care for developmentally disabled adults. They will house previously institutionalized people who have been declared fit to return to more independent, residential lifestyle.

Pipeline company workers are in the final phase of cleaning up the oil spill from shorelines and a marshy area.
