\ PAGE 20-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1973 MeHenry Shores Mrs. Rose Lillegard (Business) 385-8500 First Year For Village Proves Productive April 15 marked the one year anniversary of the in­ corporation of the Village of MeHenry Shores. It has indeed proved to be a most interesting and productive year since the first election held June 10, 1972, at which time Mr. Bieritz was elected to the presidency and Mrs. Lillegard to the office of village clerk. Both are now serving in their capacity of four year elected term that will expire April of 1975. The first board of trustees elected were Clarence Sch- weikert, Jeff Hoffman and I>arry Hicks for four year terms expiring April of 1975. Donald Henderlong, Edwin Olbinski and William Dostal were elected to a two year term that expired April of 1973. Immediately upon election, these eight people took it upon their shoulders the great responsibility of the proper formation of a village. They studied, researched and studied again the necessary governing laws for the village and when all was said and done the governing body passed twenty-four ordinances which are the laws of the village. These laws take in the ad­ ministrative code, building codes, traffic code, nuisance conditions, weed abatement, the keeping of dogs, vehicle registrations, driving while under the influence of in­ toxicating liquor or narcotic drugs, snowmobiles and ATV, junk and-or unlicensed vehicles, curfew, firearms, abandoned motor vehicle^, canvassers or solicitors, house numbering, all the utility franchises and many more. Although it is the board of trustees who make the final decisions much research work and manpower is supplied by the residents of the village. Our hats off to the many volunteers whose only pay is the satisfaction of seeing their ideas and thought become a part of the history of this village. BUILDING CODES The building codes were established through the efforts of the Building Inspector William Ewald. The present codes are being reviewed by Mr. Ewald and his committee of Deputy Building Inspector William Pinkonsly, Sr., and Allen Lillegard. Needless to say, these men meet one night a week to complete this most difficult job. And by the way, the man you see making his rounds twice a day throughout the village is none other than the Deputy Village Building Inspector, William Pinkonsly, Sr. ZONING COMMISSION For the past year Zoning Commissioner Earl Buck has done his homework with the completion of the proposed zoning ordinance. This com­ mittee meets one and sometimes twice a week plus many hours of field work to list each and every piece of property plus a sketch of each home or building as the case may be. Orchids to Mr. Green, Mr. Zelvis, Mr. Carroll, Mr. LaFrancis and alternates, James Reese and Mr. Reed. Secretary for this committee was Mrs. Sandra Moyer. The proposed zoning or­ dinance will be aired at a public hearing on Saturday, July 28, at 1 p.m. at 605 S. Meadow. The public is invited to participate and copies for viewing are available at the clerk's office between the hours of 2 and 4 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The proposed zoning ordinance is 134 typed pages long. ROAD DEPARTMENT Also during the past year we have seen many things take place in the road department under the original supervision of Mr. Etchingham and presently Sam Zeimet. A hot patch cart was purchased for $350 and patching was done through volunteers again. The list of volunteers for patching of the road is too long and because of chance of forgetting a name we will just take the op­ portunity of saying one big thank you to all. So far this year, we have saved $1500 by doing our own patching and now the road department has received approval from the board of trustees to spend this money for much needed dit­ ching throughout the village. Tree trimming in the right-of- ways. has begun as a prelini'nary to ditching requirement Street signs are also being painted bv our present road commissioner and his retirement crew of Mi- Wilson, Mr Pinkonsly. Sr., Mr Etchingham and Mr Stock APPOINT POLICE CHIEF The police department has been established and just recently Earl Buck has been appointed with the approval of the board as police chief and Don Zutact as patrolman. Two additional patrojmen are still needed Purchases for the department included an automobile, light bar and sound system, uniforms and weapons and various office equipment. NEW EQUIPMENT The clerk's office has also been equipped with a new legal size file cabinet, a used manual typewriter, a copying machine and various forms and letter heads necessary to operate the business of the village. The clerk 's oil ice hours are 2 to 4 p.m. Monday. Wednesday and Friday and sometimes on Saturday. It is necessary to confirm by phone all Saturday business you may wish to conduct The clerk also notes that the cutting of vacant property was possible by virtue of Ordinance No. 7. WATER COMPANY The village viewed with watchful eyes the violations by the privately owned water company. Jhe outcome being that the company was sold to a new owner and fines are still pending by the Environmental Protection Agency, several of the violations have since been taken care of and the erection of the water tower is now in progress. CENSUS TAKEN A special federal census was conducted within the village limits and the appropriate paper work was filed with the State of Illinois for our fair share of the state income tax and also updated our share of the motor fuel tax monthly allotments. FIRST ELECTION The first regular election was held under the supervision of the village clerk, April 17, at which time six candidates ran for three positions on the village board of trustees. Filing for candidacy were Incumbent Donald Henderlong, Mrs. Sandra Moyer, Mrs. Bertha Quinn, Zelmer Turner, In­ cumbent Edwin Olbinski and Mrs. Ardith Reed. When the election was over and the results canvassed, Incumbents Olbinski and Henderlong were reelected and Mrs. Moyer was elected as the first woman to sit on the board of trustees. The turnout at the polls showed a very good cross representation for the complete village. This showed the village board that there is a definite interest in the community of the "get in­ volved" attitude. FRUITFUL YEAR In the observations of this columnist, the past year has been a most fruitful year with the organizational procedures behind us. The board has done a wonderful job of careful planning and foresight into the future problems and needs of the community as a whole. The community is very fortunate to have such a money conscious board. They have managed the affairs of the village on a pay as you go basis. In the for­ thcoming year we will see the fruits of the ordinances that have so far been passed, such as the impounding of dogs, speeders, the enforcing of vehicle registration and hopefully the new village hall. BASEBALL OUTING Mrs. Sandra Moyer informs us that the baseball outing has been set for Friday, Aug. 10. The air conditioned chartered bus will depart from the beach area at 11 a.m. for Wrigley Field for a game between the Cubs and the Houston Astros. This means that we will have a chance to see the former manager of the Cubs Leo Durocher in action on the other side of the fence. The bus will allow for thirty-eight passengers. Reservations are necessary with Mrs. Moyer, 385-8646, before July 25. Children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Bring your own lunch and definitely no bottles or cans will be allowed in the ball park. Please do not ask for the outing to be on a Saturday or Sunday as tickets are not available at the ball park. If the turnout is accepted overwhelmingly, we could plan ahead for next year and reserve the necessary tickets and bus this winter. VOLLEYBALL CANCELLED Mrs. Tibbs informs me that the Wednesday night * ladies volleyball will be cancelled due to lack of attendance. Tuesday morning children volleyball will be changed to baseball to conform to the request of the children participating. That will now be every TSfesday and Friday mornings to 12 noon, baseball and boys over the age^tJfnine years old. FIREWOOD AVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS \S Due to the cutting of trees in the right-of-ways the road commissioner has made available firewood for your fireplace. It will be necessary for interested parties to pick it up along the road sides where it will be placed. The wood has been cut into the appropriate sizes and is available usually on Saturday mornings im­ mediately after the cuttings. Last Saturday's cuttings are already gone, so listen for the saw next Saturday morning. 4400 W. Rte. 120 MeHenry DAILY 9 - 9 I SUNDAY 9 • 6 • My apologies to the Moyer family. In last week's column I erroneously said that the„ Moyer family was moving. It should have stated that thei Carroll family was departing* for Peoria. BRIDAL SHOWER July 1, at the home of the Frank Camasta's a bridal shower was given in honor of Earlene Carani of Deerfield, who on July 20 will wed Marts Camasta of MeHenry Shores. Relatives and friends from Chicago, Deerfield and nearby suburbs were present and all. enjoyed a large buffet dinner. Hostesses were Mrs. Ber- nadette Gibson of Rockford, Catherine Camasta and Geraldine Camasta, sisters of the future groom. Miss Carani was very happy for all the lovely gifts received as she will have a nice start in housekeeping. 100 Count Paper Plates 52el Large 9" plates. Sturdy leakproof.
