DISTRICT 15 SETS „ FORTH PLANS FOR REFERENDUM (Continued from page 1) <>t McHenry for the purchase of a 1973 Oldsmobile Cutlass ( nlonnade at a price of $3,702. The car was purchased for general transportation needs of the superintendent, Dr. Robert Boos, in lieu of a wage increase. Two other bids submitted by ormsby Motors, Inc., were higher. Letters had been sent to Payton Chevrolet and Overton (adillac-Pontiac but no bids were received. Although adding his approval to others on the board, Cain indicated disappointment that Ford and Chrysler dealers were not also invited to par­ ticipate in the bidding. He questioned the amount of depreciation over a two-year period, when the car will be turned in for sale. Member Anna Cuda agreed with Cain that other bids should have been sought. She voted against the proposal. An okay was given to the employment of Janet Byrnes, kindergarten, half time; Elaine Harrington, fifth grade, Kdgebrook; and Deanna Gardner, third grade, Kdgebrook. Carl Ames was employed as transportation director, pending cooperative action by District 156. Resignations were accepted from Richard Crosby, assistant principal at Parkland; William Hempel, primary learning environment, Valley View; Joyce Kyle, fifth grade, Valley View; Kevinetta O'Brien, fourth grade, Hilltop; and Karin Olsson, second grade, Kdgebrook. The resignations of Glenard Blank, transportation director, and Elyse Reining, bookkeeper, central office, also were accepted. Karle Cooper was tran­ sferred from the transportation department to McHenry Junior high as custodian. A tentative budget was ap­ proved, which will be available tor inspection at the ad­ ministration center on Main street until the regular board meeting Sept. 11. At this time the legal budget will be adopted following a public hearing. CROWN LITTLE MISS PEANUT (Continued from page 1) avenue, McHenry, a bright, blue-eyed six-year-old who has just graduated from kin­ dergarten, appeared in a blue and white gingham organza dress. Asked by M.C. Larry Leaf- blad of Radio Station WKRS if she expected to win, Nancy answered with all the honesty of youth, "Yes". Later, her mother said her 11 -year-old brother, Donald, and neighbors had been encouraging her efforts throughout the day. Nancy's most important reason for wanting to win the title is the right it gives her to ride in the Marine Festival parade. She was entered in the contest by her father, whose involvement in "show business" extends back many years. He was a member of Actors Equity in New York City before coming to Chicago, where he met Mrs. Smith through an amateur theatrical group. The family, which also in­ cludes a 3-year-old boy, Mat­ thew, has lived in McHenry for three years. Elated over her new title, Nancy's first request was to pay a visit to her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Norman Mac- donald, who also happens to be a neighbor. Judges tor ine contest, which was held at the Legion clubhouse, were Lynn Lund, former McHenry business woman; Don Toole, Junior high principal; and Bill Toalson, band director at East campus. After the thrill of riding in next Sunday's parade, Nancy will make preparations to enter the Little Miss Peanut division contest July 24, to be held in Sycamore. The local competition is sponsored each year by the McHenry Kiwanis club and is limited to twenty-five con­ testants. Runners-up were Robin Ir­ win, daughter of Mrs. Judy Irwin, and Bonnie Lee Ahlberg, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Ahlberg. TAXES, ASSESSING SHARE COUNTY BOARD ATTENTION (Continued from page 1) McHenry township will add another precinct - its twenty- sixth - at the next election. Precinct 23 was divided. The new precinct will emerge from the part of Precinct 23 which lies west of 4500 Sussex in Whispering Oaks subdivision. The south boundary lies on Hanley avenue. Member Linnea Hadlock asked County Highway Com­ missioner James Rakow for information concerning possible bicycle lanes along the highway in the county. Rakow, who expressed little enthusiasm for the project, said widening of the roads is not the answer, Instead, dividing strips would be necessary to separate the highway from bike paths. He agreed to make the necessary study as it concerns county roads, but added that township highway com­ missioners would need to take similar action if township roads were to be included. Concern for the adequacy of rest home facilities in the future was expressed in a report on the growing number of public aid patients in the county. At present, there are 149 who need skilled care, another seventy-nine who need semi­ skilled care and 106, sheltered care. In addition, there are 100 McHenry county residents on Illinois public aid who are placed outside the county. Valley Hi nursing home has ninety-two patients at this time, and there are twenty-foil^ women and eight men on the waiting list. Member Simms viewed the situation and commented, "We are in a bind regarding rest home facilities". Approval was given to a recommendation of the Finance and Salaries com­ mittee to pay $2,450 to the John Cowlin Trust account for ap­ praisals of proposed landfill sites. Further action to give State's Attorney William Cowlin authority to negotiate for a landfill site was also okayed on a motion by the Rev. Marx Jones. The board also approved a bill in the amount of $1,563 from Caldwell, Berner & Caldwell, law firm of Woodstock, for successfully defending the county in a law suit. With the resignation of Stanley Cornue as Supervisor of Assessments, the board passed a resolution setting July 18 as the date to conduct a second examination at the courthouse to fill the vacancy. The time is 10 a.m., with the testing conducted by the Illinois Department of Local Govern­ ment Affairs. Conduct Charges Filed Against Two Area Men Thomas L. Griffith of 1914 Lehman. Lake Villa, was arrested for disorderly conduct Tuesday morning about 1 o'clock. Deputies were called to the home of Kay Kriho, 2120 Orchard Beach drive, McHenry, where they found Griffith engaged in a scuffle with Ms. Kriho in front of her home. Bond was set at $25, court date July 26. Michael Niska of 1611 N. Park, McHenry, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a peace officer after an incident Saturday night at the McHenry American Legion carnival. Bond was set at $1,025 with court appearance scheduled for Aug. 13. The arrest resulted after Niska appeared on the carnival grounds with an alcoholic drink, which is not allowed. He threw the drink at officers when they asked him to leave and became combative, necessitating force to restrain him. In the matter of zoning, two local requests were approved. One of these was a petition of Alan J. Smithe, D.V.M., and Victor A. and Florence M. Miller for a conditional use of property on Rt. 31 north, to build an animal hospital. The permit was granted with restrictions. The second request was that of James H. and Sandra R. Schultz for a variation from "F" farming property on McCullom Lake road to permit them to conduct the operation of a bait and tackle shop. No action was taken on a petition for a conditional use permit to allow the operation of mining and removal of sand, gravel and other mineral aggregates on land east of McHenry. The reason was that no amending ordinance was submitted. Action was taken to provide that the McHenry County Zoning board will consist of seven members rather than five in the future. According to law, the last two members named will serve a term of five years each. The allotment to McHenry township from motor fuel tax paid into the state treasury in May was announced as $2,755.99. This was the largest amount in the county, based on a mileage of 74.67. 10 v TEEN-AGERS HURT IN TWO CAR COLLISION (Continued from page 1) Coughlin of 103 S. Lake Shore drive, McHenry, and his passenger, Carol P. Truckenbrod of 3307 W. Second avenue, McHenry Coughlin was east-bound on the highway and had turned on his directional signal as he approached the J&L service station. He saw the Ritter car approaching but it was some distance away. As Coughlin was about to make his turn, a car pulled out of the station driveway, forcing Coughlin to make a slower and wider turn than he had planned. He sud­ denly saw the Ritter car in a skid and they collided. Ritter said the Coughlin auto made a left turn directly in front of him and he was unable to stop in time to avoid contact. A witness at the scene con­ firmed Coughlin's statement and also stated that the Ritter_ car was moving at a high rate of speed prior to the collision.
