(Continued from page 1) can begin. They project the savings will be in the neigh­ borhood of $4 to $5 per square foot. With this system, it is felt if a college had its money in early spring, it could be under construction in early fall. This Construction Management system was proposed by the Governor and approved recently by the legislature. When Davis was asked how the Governor's 100 percent funding program was progressing, he told the board it appeared to be dead for this session. The Governor, he said, received the Construction Management policy he asked for and seemed willing to forget the 100 percent funding. In other business, the board authorized the issuance of $150,000 in tax anticipation warrants, the loan to be ob­ tained from McHenry State bank at the interest rate of 4 percent per annum. This was the lowest interest rate bid received from the eleven banks in the county. Members also authorized the filing of an amended tax levy of $402,500 for the Education fund and $172,500 for the Building fund. It was done because in this quadrennial reassessment year, there is an uncertainty as to the percent increase that might be anticipated. In order to protect the college against any loss in revenue from taxes, it is advisable to file an amended levy increasing the request. The following persons were approved for chargebacks: Kathy Herrick, Elgin college, physical education; Juanita Reyes, Lake County college, child development; Leo W. Riley, Rock Valley, automotive t e c h n o l o g y ; R o b e r t Rodenkirch, Harper college, numerical control; and Donald Haebion, Elgin, welding. MCC has approved ninety-four outgoing chargeback ap­ plications for the 1971-72 academic year, with twenty- four chargeback applicants attending this college from other colleges and districts. The board approved the purchase of $8,183.25 worth of educational equipment. These items were all placed for bidding and the low bids were accepted in most cases. The college received two grants from the state involving basic adult education and migrant education to provide a program in Woodstock for suitable persons. The agreement involved here is for renting approximately 1,400 square feet in Woodstock for this purpose. The lease runs for ten months and is 100 percent funded by the state grant. The board' authorized the signing of an agreement to lease ap­ proximately 1,400 square feet at 113V2 S. Benton street, Woodstock, for a period of ten months, beginning Oct. 1. This space is located on the square in Woodstock, over a dry goods store. Following a two-hour executive session, the board • I announced no action had been I* taken on two personnel con- sideration reports and on a site considerations report. > The next meeting will be held r- Nov. 18. :: VANDALISM :* IN AREA UNDER j: INVESTIGATION > (Continued from page 1) place in the area recently.

It was believed an ice ' pick was used. The summer home of EXPECT LIVELY CONTESTS FOR BOARD SEATS (Continued from page 1) Democratic ticket are Charles Weingart, 1714 W. Rt. 120, McHenry, and Rita K. Halvorsen, 4619 Daisy lane, Crystal Lake. District 2 includes McHenry, Nunda and Burton townships. Eight candidates will be elected on each ticket in the three districts in the general election, with twenty-four to be named to the board. The chairman will be selected at the time of board organization by its membership. There is no limit to the number of names that may appear on the primary ballot. The primary for the county board election is scheduled Feb. 8, and the general election the second Tuesday of April. The new board will take office May 1. Supervisor Walter Dean of McHenry expressed disap­ pointment at the lack of action taken after attendance at a Senate hearing Oct. 22 in Springfield, attended by thirteen Senators. Dean was present as chairman of the Legislative committee of the McHenry county board. Because the primary for other county, state and federal offices is scheduled for March and the general election for these offices in November of 1972, an effort was made to convince the Senators that as much as $6 million could be saved if the county board election was combined with the other elections, cutting the number in half. After a Senate Floor fight, however, Dean said the four bills which would have ac­ complished this were thrown out, leaving the voting public confused over the number of elections to be held in a short length of time. Filings in District 1, which includes Algonquin and Grafton townships, were as follows: Laverne Weber at 4612 Stafford lane, McHenry, was entered last week and several items damaged. A picture window was broken, four screens, three vents and other property such as light bulbs, broom and mop handles were damaged. Republicans, George F. Starr, Carl M. Dehmlow and Phyllis K. Walters, all of Algonquin; Alfred B. Collins and Conrad F. Floeter of Crystal Lake; G. Watson Lowe, Donald B. Bruns and Linnea T. Hadlock, all of Cary; also one Democrat, Ervin J. Kvidera of Cary. District 3, comprising those parts of the county not designated in either of the first two, lists the following can­ didates to date: Republicans, Otto Zickuhr and George W. Lowe, Marengo; Joseph S. Sch- mitt of Hebron; Raymond A. Murphy, Roland L. Neumaier, Edward P. Jackson, James D. Holmes and E L. Foote of Woodstock; William F. Beese of Richmond; William A; Ward of Harvard and Stanley Samp, 8815 Highland drive, Wonder Lake; also Democrat John McDonald of Richmond. MUSIN' N" MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) Because another chair disappeared last year, she had planned to tie it to the tree, indicating to passersby that this was not unwanted fur­ niture. Procrastination took over and the lawn chair took off. After waving goodbye to the youngsters early Tuesday, mother went to the telephone. As she was talking, she looked ' from the window to see someone loading the chair into the trunk of a car and departing -- and it wasn't the garbage disposal man, who had made his pick-up the previous day. For the second year it was our pleasure to join other judges of the Marian high school homecoming floats. Without doubt, they cannot be topped for their beauty and ingenuity. The student body con­ centrates its efforts on only four floats, representing the classes. All were animated and some were even equipped with sound effects. The sophomores emerged winners this year with an elegant dragon that swung his head and tail in a realistic manner and emitted smoke from his huge mouth, all of this while we heard the strains of "Puff the Magic Dragon". A SHERIFF'S OFFICE CHARGED WITH ENTERING HOME (Continued from page 1) * determined detectives were wrong by entering without a search warrant, they will be suspended or fired. "On the other hand, if they are/right," he said, "I don't want them subjected to humiliation and degrading remarks because of one in­ dividual's say-so. I will put the crime syndicate on notice. If these men are fired' or suspended, they will be replaced immediately and the investigations will continue. I don't intend to stop crime syndicate investigations at this time." According to Donkel, he had left his home to obtain groceries. While he was gone, his wife was called to the Lake- in-the-Hills police station where he also had been taken after plain clothes men stopped him on the way to the store. Both their cars were searched but no arrests were made. When the Donkels arrived home, they said they discovered a broken frame on the door which leads into the house from the at­ tached garage. Donkel was arrested on gambling charges Nov. 21,1969, along with three other persons. Court records show that Donkel's three charges of gambling and one charge of syndicated gambling and grand jury indictments for these same charges w£re--nolie- prossed Sepk--fr^"l971, on a motiop^m the state. cases on the three other Sons are still pending court action. The others are Daniel letropulos and Christopher Metropulos of Crystal Lake and Lawrence McHale of Wood­ stock. All await charges of gambling, syndicated gam­ bling, and in the case of Christopher Metropulos, keeping a gambling place. Investigation of the allegation is being conducted by Capt. Robert Madsen, head of the McHenry County Detective division, First Assistant State's Attorney Thomas Baker, State Police Officer McFesley, Detective Sgt. George Hendle and Lake- in-the-Hills Police Chief Irving A. Floress. VETERANS' DINNER The McHenry Barracks, No. 1315, Veterans of World War I, will meet Thursday, Nov. 11, at 6:30 p.m. for dinner to com­ memorate Armistice Day. This will replace the Nov. 4 meeting. delightful senior gopher was a close second, followed by the sophomore Hurricane Hotline and the freshmen gigantic footstep theme. One elated home gardener called Monday, hardly believing that the beautiful blossoms in her garden were large roses blooming Nov. 1. She was not alone in her sur­ prise. But zing - the heavy frosts came -- and the roses went! A concerned Lakeland Park resident has asked for a word of caution to parents of little folks playing in the area of the drainage ditch in that com­ munity. At the corner of Willow and Prairie, the city has placed rocks in the water to span a 5- to-6-foot span. The caller said toddlers had been seen playing in the area and there is fear that one of them might slip from a rock and fall into the water. K.A.F. AWARD CONTRACT FOR IMPROVEMENT OF CENTER STREET (C^inued from page 1) his praise of Mr. Rauen's assistance to the city on many occasions. The Mayor ex­ pressed sincere appreciation. Carl Johnson, who owns property on the west side of Front street, recently petitioned the Zoning Board of Appeals for reclassification of residential property to "B-3" commercial. The Zoning board recommended denial of the petition in a report read by City Attorney John Looze. Attorney Richard Cross, representing the petitioner, asked that the report be reconsidered since it was his feeling that the Zoning board did not wish to open the area for the many possible uses under "B-3" zomng,_He/ stated that ,Mr. Johnson" had now reached an agreement with a chain motel firm^o erect a motel with restauranfand cocktail lounge. The Council agreed to refer this back to the Zoning board for further hearing The Zoning Board of Appeals also recommended denial of a request made by Mitchell Buick-Olds to erect a sign larger than provided for in the present ordinance. Mayor Doherty suggested that a review of the sign ordinance be made, but Council members decided to vote on the Mitchell petition and upheld the recommended denial. ^Disposal of leaves again came up for discussion as Stanley Vycital spoke for property owners in the Country club area. It was explained that the city could not pay for removal in one area without doing the same throughout the city. It was further explained that the city has no place to dispose of leaves or rubbish of any kind. Efforts have been made to find a location. Alderman Pitzen offered to use his truck to haul two loads of leaves if they were put in bags, explaining that his offer was being made "not as an alder­ man, but as a friend." Fred Meyer, Superintendent of Public Works, reported to the Council that he and City Clerk Earl Walsh plan a trip to Crystal Lake Friday to get information on a new vacuum type machine being purchased for the purpose of removing leaves and cleaning storm ^sewers. Since burning is not PAGE 19TPLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1971 DEATH NOTICES In Memory Of A Boy This tribute is to the memory of a boy - almost a young man. Yesterday he was filled with spirit for a football game; with laughter over the antics of a pet raccoon; and with enthusiasm over nothing more important than memories of a weekend away from the classroom. Today all the spirit, the laughter and the enthusiasm are no more! It is to the memory of a boy who, like most boys, enjoyed school sometimes, the company of family and friends most times, and the freedom of the out-of-doors at all times. It is a tribute to Paul Sagers of the quiet smile, the friendly greeting and the polite manner - so filled with the joy of living one minute--so void of life the next. The desolation of proud parents, Dick and Marlene Sagers, is shared, in part, by the Plaindealer staff, of which Paul's father has been a member for several years. 'THi ~ AMsalllcf PAUL ARTHUR SAGERS Paul Arthur Sagers, 14, of 1005 N. Cherry Valley road, McHenry, died in Memorial hospital, Woodstock, early Tuesday evening, Nov. 2, a short time after admittance.

Paul was born Aug. 20, 1957, in Kalamazoo, Mich., and moved here with his family several years ago. His father is foreman of the Plaindealer printing department. The young man was a student at Parkland Junior high school. Survivors are his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Sagers; a sister, Lynn, 16; two brothers, Rick, 15, and David, 13; his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Wilkins of Kalamazoo; and the paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Steele, of Kalamazoo.
