J PAGE 22-PLAIND EALER-FRIDAY, JUNE 22, 1973 NANGY STALEY NAMED QUEEN (Continued from page 1) gown of red and white crepe and Miss Mierzwa in a dress featuring blue and white flocked bodice and light blue organdy skirt. In the interviews, when asked to "convince us that we should r ove to McHenry, Miss Staley pointed to the "great farm land and fine boating conditions" among other attractions. She described herself as "an old fashioned girl". Asked what qualities she would rate highest in a boy friend or husband, Nancy replied that she likes to be treated like a lady and especially stressed that she looks for those who are "clean and neat". The new queen almost wasn't on hand for the big judging. Stricken with acute tonsillitis, her doctor had urged that she not attend the judging Tuesday night. The program was opened by Commander Kay Kuemmel of the V.F.W. post, who led the pledge of allegiance. Last year's queen, Nancy Stetter, was introduced and spoke to the assembled crowd of her experiences. She said: "Thanks is such a small word to express the feelings I have about the past year. I would be here all night if I tried to name everyone who has done nice things for me. I would rather thank the whole town of McHenry for allowing me to represent them during the past year". Ua Hogan, contest chairman for the V.F.W. auxiliary, presented Mrs. Sharon Nye with a rose in thanks for the many hours devoted to the charm course. Mrs. Nye had requested that instead of the gift which is usually given to her, the money be presented to the patients at Downey hospital. Judges were Beverly Brosing, reservationist for Mexicana airlines; Frank A. Stoptra, sales representative for Mexicana airlines; Erwin A. Pollock of I. Appel, Co., a women's apparel firm; and Rich Waldenmeyer, territorial manager for the Wisconsin region of DuBarry Cosmetics. LEVESQUE REINSTATED IN AERONAUTICS (Continued from page U courts for many weeks, after Levesque decided to make a test case of his firing by Gov. Daniel Walker in February. He had been an appointee of for­ mer Gov. Richard B. Ogilvie. Levesque charged that his dismissal was a matter of politics. Encouragement came the first week in June, when after a five-hour hearing in Springfield, a temporary in­ junction - was granted to Levesque which restricted the state from authorizing payrolls in the Department of Aeronautics. On June 7, by the agreement of lawyers for both parties concerned and the judge, a temporary stay was agreed upon in the matter of meeting these payrolls. With four years of service in his post, the McHenry man, former McHenry County Republican chairman, was mid-way through his requirements for civil service when he was dismissed. This fact comprised part of his complaint since civil service rules declare that an employee may not be fired before the job is abolished without a hearing. Levesque claimed he never was given a hearing. $9,000 FUNDING IS ALLOWED FOR SCHOOL LEARNING CENTER (Continued from page l) T e n t a t i v e b u i l d i n g modifications for both cam­ puses were presented by a committee made up of board members. Some of the items were approved, but bids will be asked for others requiring greater expenditures. Referring to one particular item -- hair dryers for boys and girls -- President James Althoff said, "In no way would I ap­ prove this item". Committee Mister Do nut in McHenry Saturday and Sunday JUNE 23 and JUNE 24 ONLY 15 DONUTS FOR THE PRICE OF 12 $1.25 Per Dozen (15* ea.) mcneils Next to Hornsby's in the McHenry Market Place-McHenry, Illinois. Member Edw. Neumann ex­ plained that it was included because of a request from a student group at West campus. The item was stricken from consideration by the entire board as it pertains to use in boys' locker rooms. In other action, members accepted the resignations of Thomas Hubert, who taught Math at East campus, and Ron Zieglowsky, drama teacher at West. Among non-certified personnel, a letter of resignation from Glen Blank, transportation director, was received and accepted effective July 1. Appointments were made in line with a previous approved administrative organization for the district. The existing position of assistant principal has been eliminated and new positions of associate principal and dean of students created in order to modify the duties of each building principal. William Dodds was approved for associate principal at West; Don Seaton for associate principal at East; and Miss Mary Ann Hauge as dean of girls at East. With one dissenting vote, the board approved the coaching staff assignments for the 1973- 74 school year. jg Clint Claypool, referring to™ the present eight football coaches and one other to be employed, expressed his opinion that some coaches' positions should be deleted and the money used for other school activities. A comparison with other area schools was given, listing Barrington with twelve football coaches last year, Crystal Lake with eleven and one to be added this next year, and Woodstock with nine. Board members agreed to remain a member of the Illinois High School association for next year. Membership in this organization is a prerequisite to any interscholastic com­ petition. On the question of allowing early graduation, it was pointed out that there will be twenty fewer next year than at first anticipated. The board and administrators had discussed at an earlier meeting that the number of early graduates is growing to the point that it might be necessary to recon­ sider a change in policy. Since that time, letters were sent to parents of students who would qualify to leave school next February. Responses indicated that twenty parents were not in favor of their teen­ agers graduating early. The matter of approving a student athletic insurance program for next year was brought up for the second successive month. Claypool reported that after obtaining bids listing different costs, it was determined that the total cost would be $35 per player if the school carried insurance and the student carried his own. The board member then moved that the school pay all insurance for athletes, a proposal that met with defeat. Member Kathryn Alvary asked for a vote on the recommendation that students pay a proportionate share of the insurance. Her motion carried. Members learned with much satisfaction that the Vocational Education program had received approval status from the Division of Vocational and Technical Education, OSPI. Few high schools in the state receive full approval and last year MCHS was the only one to be so recognized in the county. It was announced that current plans call for a presentation of the district's tentative budget at the July 17 board meetings YOUNG 'CYCLISTS BEAT WOODSTOCK -MAN EN ROUTE HOME (Continued from page 1) window and asked if he could be of assistance. At this point, one of the drivers approached the car, reached inside and beat Berryman. A passing motorist arrived just as the 'cyclists were leaving the scene. He took the injured man to Reinie's Roadhouse, from where he was removed to Memorial hospital by the Woodstock Rescue squad. Berryman sustained facial cuts and lacerations and was severely beaten on the head. CITY POLICE SALARIES ARE REAFFIRMED (Continued from page 1) reelection bids. Smith and Pitzen voted for the proposal which eventually resulted in a tie vote. The tie was broken when Mayor Don Doherty cast a "yes" vote as his last official act in office. After approval, the Pension board was asked to go before the Police department and inform them of their raises. Then later, Rogers presented another salary schedule. "We serve the city in a volunteer capacity and we do not like to be embarrassed in this sort of fashion", Rauen declared.

EXTERIOR PAINTS LATEX OR OIL BASE 2 GALLONS (White Only) *6 00 VARIETY OF BUSINESS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) committee, Alderman Rogers, reported that three insurance companies had met with the committee regarding a life and hospitalization policy for city employees. The plan would cost the city $11,092.90 per month. The three companies that answered the request for in­ formation were John Hancock Insurance, Prudential In­ surance and Blue Cross-Blue Shield. On the Finance committee's recommendation, the Council approved adoption of the Blue Cross-Blue Shield policy. Curran Contracting company was awarded the bid for street maintenance at a cost of $16,332.50. Those streets to be repaired and sealed are Main street, from Green to Route 31, and Riverside drive, from Pearl north. Weather per­ mitting, the work is to be completed by July 4. Other bids received for street repairs were Peter Baker for $17,608 and Liberty Asphalt for $18,075.50. The only bids on traffic signal lights on Rt. 120 at Industrial drive and Meadow lane came from Meade Electric of Chicago, at a cost of $40,132.06. The bid calls for no "Walk" and "Do Not Walk" signals since the state feels these are not pedestrian areas. When the sidewalks are installed, and if the city can prove the need for the added signals, they might be installed. The Council ap­ proved the bid with Specification that control boxes be equipped to install the walk signals when needed. Two bids on water wells were received. Layne Western of Aurora and J.P. Miller of Brookfield, submitted bids which city engineers, Baxter and Woodman, will review. They will present their recommendation to the Council at the next meeting. Buss Ford was awarded the bid on a four-door sedan for the Police department at^a price of $3,510. Other bids submitted were Mitchell Buick at $3,895 and Payton Chevrolet at $3,554. The bids included air con­ ditioning and a 400 CID heavy cerned with the validity of tli&t meeting", he continued. "We have moral obligations to the policemen of the city of McHenry. A lot of these men went out on the strength of that meeting and made financial obligations." It was Rauen's opinion from listening to the debate, that the chief of police and the lieutenant's salaries were the bone of contention to some councilmen. "If your only in­ terest is in cutting down the chief of police and lieutenant's salaries, why not have the courtesy to let us know and sit down with us and renegotiate", Rauen declared. He concluded by saying the Police Pension board and Police commission "don't like to be made patsies of". Former Alderman Ray Smith, who was a member of the Finance committee when the original schedule was adopted, addressed Bolger and asked what he meant when he mentioned that "three of the defeated aldermen were of the affirmative vote on this issue". Smith said, "It rings a bad bell to hear a statement like that coming from him". "Was what we did considered unclean or illegal somehow? Is Alderman Bolger casting doubts on our integrity? I don't appreciate his remarks con­ cerning our vote for we were still members of this Council", Smith emphasized. Bolger replied he never questioned Smith's integrity or vote. "He will vote his con­ science, he always has. But I am only talking about Ray", Bolger said. Bolger then made a motion to accept the wage scale schedule as proposed by Rogers, ef­ fective the first pay day in July. Hromec seconded the motion. On roll call vote, Bolger, Hromec and Rogers voted yes and Datz, Harker, Howard, Pepping and Wegener voted no. Mayor Stanek declared the motion defeated and the original schedule remains in effect. duty engine. A federal grant of $2,100 for the Police depart­ ment will be applied toward the new auto. A letter from Daniel Robson of Hester Oil company was read which requested per- permits be reduced from five dollars to one dollar. Since the county is now handling all inspections and charging five dollars, this would allow the city to have some control of the situation. The Council agreed mission to raise his contract price on gasoline to the city by four cents a gallon for the balance of his contract which continues through December, 1973. City Attorney Bernard Narusis, when asked to com­ ment, said there is. no legal basis to raise this contract price unless there is a new or additional service or con­ sideration given to the city. Mayor Stanek therefore authorized the Purchasing committee to meet with Hester Oil and act on the request. Mayor Stanek reappointed the following members to the Library board: William Bolger, George P. Freund and Frank Johnson. The Council granted a zoning variation on R-3 to Thomas Hart doing business as Mark's Marine, Inc., 3622 W. Elm street, McHenry, to park boats and trailers on Lot 29, north of the building, under the following conditions: a chain link fence with plastic strips be installed north of the lot to shield the property of Gary Gough; no boat is to be parked within 5 feet of the fence and parking on the lot is restricted from April 1 to Nov. 1. Approval was given for transfer of Class "A" alcoholic beverage license from Catherine Edstrom to Gerald D. Knapik. The license refers to Ye Olde Corner Tap at the corner of Front and Main street. Don Howard, chairman of the License committee, recom­ mended that food handler and accepted the committee's recom menda tion. The Mayor read a letter from Mrs. William Thomas of 4401 W. Parkway, McHenry, complaining of the many water breakdowns in Lakeland Park. She asked if some sort of pre- warning could be given before the water is shut off so people could get a supply on hand. Supt. Meyer reported that almost all the shutoffs are due to broken pipes and mains caused by sewer construction. There is not time for warnings, he said. After a break, every effort is made to make repairs as soon as possible. Mayor Stanek also noted that the dust problem in Lakeland Park is quite acute. The con­ tractor is to furnish equipment to apply calcium chloride and the city will furnish the man­ power. This will be done as soon as the necessary equipment is available- Alderman Jim Wegener, chairman of the Band com­ mittee, reported on his recent meeting with Greg Watts, who . had approached the Council regarding playing for street dances. Watts proposed having a five-member band with amplifier play for $200 a night. They would like to play two nights a week. He said they would play free for charity groups. Wegener noted that A.P. Freund field and Pearl street park are the only two acceptable locations but residential areas are too close to conduct these kind of affairs. No action was taken by the Council. Motorists Hurt As Cars Collide At Johnsburg Two local residents were taken to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad Tuesday afternoon following an accident at the intersection of Hillcrest drive and St. Francis avenue, Johnsburg. Douglas H. Freund of 2208 W. Church, McHenry, was treated and released but Sandra J. Anderson of 3915 N. Blitsch place, McHenry, was admitted for further treatment. No statement was taken from Mrs. Anderson due to her condition. Freund said he was south-bound on Hillcrest and after slowing for the yield sign, entered the intersection. Suddenly he saw the Anderson auto east-bound on St. Francis, also entering the intersection, and he was unable to avoid a collision. Freund was cited for failure to yield right-of-way. James I. Wilke of 4216 Sioux lane, McHenry, was charged with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after he hit the rear of a car being driven by Eloise M. Freund of 5307 May, Richmond. The accident occurred Sunday afternoon on the Crystal Lake blacktop, one- half mile north of Hillside road, north of Crystal Lake. Wilke was north-bound on the roadway, behind the Freund auto, attempting to pass it. As he pulled into the passing lane, he saw an oncoming vehicle. When he tried to pull back into his lane, he hit the rear of the Freund car. Both vehicles went out of control and skidded into a ditch on the east side of the road. No one was injured in the mishap. Wilma M. Irwin of 721 Lillian, McHenry, was injured in a one- car accident which occurred Sunday morning about 11:20 at 3414 W. Waukegan road.
