MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) press deadline into a fun effort from which we always emerged together. In leaving the newspaper office, we feel keenly the loss of someone who has become a close friend. Testimony to her patience and good nature is the fact that in the many trying times one experiences in a newspaper office in seven years, never has an unkind word been exchanged. Her shoes will be hard to fill! K.A.F. COUNTY EXPECTS BIG SAVINGS IN COPIER PURCHASE (Continued fiom page 1) petition for a Conditional Use permit in an "F" Farming district for the purpose of establishing a private heliport. The property on which it will be built consists of about .95 acres located at 5730 W. McCullom Lake road. Permission was issued for a period of ten years. E.R. and Rose J. Whitney were denied their request for reclassification of certain real estate from "B-l" to "B-2" Business district. The board took action to reduce the speed limits at two locations in the McHenry area. In the future, a 40 mph. limit is established on Wilmot road from Ringwood to Oeffling road, and a 45 mph. limit on Howe-Barnard Mill road from Wonder Lake road to Green­ wood township. The first stretch of road is .40 miles and the latter, 1.40 miles. Members learned that the chairman of the McLean county board will visit the Nov. 23 McHenry County board meeting to explain factors prompting the McClean board to decide on employment of an administrative assistant. McHenry county has been considering establishing such a post. Because of underground wiring difficulties at the courthouse, the firm of Johnson Consulting Engineers of Rock- ford was employed to work with the superintendent of public buildings and grounds on the problem. Carey Electric of McHenry is working to isolate the problem and make recommendations for final repair. Representatives of both firms said the installation does meet building specifications as drawn by the architect and that the PW wiring is the recom mended type to be used for this kind of installation To the question of what is scheduled to be done with Rt. 14, between Cary and Crystal Lake, which is a two-lane thoroughfare, Edward Buss of McHenry, chairman of the Transportation answered. He said he had met with state officers recently who concluded the widening would probably not be done until about 1982 at the earliest. Buss' own thinking on time is nearer 1987. James McClure of Oak Park, president of the Northern Illinois Plan commission, was present to recognize the ser­ vices of Robert F. Olson, who is retiring from the County board this Fall As the board's representative on N1PC, he will also be leaving that board. Robert Collier of Woodstock was reappointed to the McHenry County Public Building commission, serving to Sept 1, 1981. Edward G Sch weiger of Huntley was named to replace the late Charles Smith on the Zoning Board of Appeals, also serving to 1981. A resolution was passed, raising the filing and ap­ pearance fee for use of the county law library from $1 to $2. A resolution was passed setting the per diem payment of new board members at $45, to be increased to $50 in 1978. ARREST DRIVER AFTER STRIKING PARKED CAR 'Continued from page 1) yield at an intersection being issued to Frank J. Masse of 239 N. Mill, McHenry. William J. Menke of 3814 Abbotsford, Rockford, told city police he was traveling west on Elm street when the truck pulled from Millstream drive and hit his auto. As Arnold Jensen of 2909 Knollwood, McHenry, was backing from a parking space on Pearl street at Riverside drive, he hit a passing car driven by Katherine K. Gentner of 4914 Barnard Mill, Ringwood. He was ticketed for improper backing following the Thursday afternoon collision. Barry A. Paulsen of 2608 Knob Hill, McHenry, escaped injury when his car left the road last week in an at­ tempt to avoid hitting an ap­ proaching auto on Riverside drive, about three-quarter mile south of Johnsburg road, north of McHenry. Paulsen said he met the other auto as he rounded a curve on Riverside drive. In swerving to avoid a collision, his car went i out of control, skidded across the road and traveled through a wire fence. A two-car collision at the corner of Route 120 and Chapel Hill road, east of McHenry, resulted in a ticket for Dana Stanarcic of 5516 N. Kenmore, Chicago. He was ticketed, for failure to yield at intersection. According to the report, Amedee A. Watier of 516 S. Lake, Mundelein, was traveling west on the highway when the Stanarcic auto pulled from the intersection into his path. Ricky L. Lively of 2608 S. Forestwood, McHenry, was ticketed by city police for driving while intoxicated and faulty equipment following an accident one recent night. Lively and his passengers, Micky W. Lively, of the same address, and Gerald L. Comp- ton of Genoa City, Wi . were all injured in the crash but refused hospital transport McHenry Officer Kenneth Prazak discovered the accident while on patrol in the 3700 block of Kane avenue at McCracken field Lively related he was traveling west on Kane when an approaching vehicle came at him headon so he swerved to a!*bid a collision He didn't know how fast he was going because his speedometer was broken, he said. COUNCIL ACTS ON INSURANCE, FEE MONEY (Continued from page It auditors. The firm presented a bill for $7,350 which was in excess of the $6,(KM) it had orally agreed to at the beginning of fiscal year 1975-76 to complete ^ that year s audit. William Froehlich, a partner with the firm, told aldermen that additional work was required because the general ledger had not been posted for the year prior to his em­ ployment Alderman Smith objected because Froehlich proceeded without authorization to complete work that would cost more than the contract price of $6,000. Alderman Pepping remarked that he was very pleased with the audit and it reflected much work "and was worth every penny." Aldermen Hromec, Harker, Datz, Pepping and Schaedel cast "yes" votes to pay all the Nov. 23 was established as the budget meeting, and the levy will be spread Nov. 30. bills and the motion passed. Following past procedures, a donation of $1,500 was sent to the Elgin Federation of Musicians Union from the Band fund. Aldermen passed a request to donate $200 to the McHenry county auxiliary police who assisted with traffic control during Fiesta week activities. The Chamber of Commerce will make a matching donation to that auxiliary, Stanek ad­ vised. Supt. Meyer reported leaf pickup is now in progress. He emphasized that only leaves should be put inside the bags. Japanese yew clippings were placed inside a leaf bag several years ago. When it was used for bedding at a farm, an animal died from eating the clippings. Alderman Hromec asked Supt. Meyer to look into the possibility of syncronizing the traffic lights on Elm street. She noted that with only one bridge over the river, Route 120 traffic is excessively congested because of the timing of the traffic lights. Police Chief Kenneth Espey requested two additional men to the police force. He noted that because of sickness, vacations, attendance at training schools, etc., his 18- man force is not sufficient to man all the shifts. Additional traffic control due to closing the old bridge was also cited as a reason. Stanek turned the request over to the Police committee for study. Alderman Wegener is chairman of that committee, with Aldermen Pepping and Hromec as members. Stanek announced that he would reconvene an adjourned conference to study a new planned unit development proposed by Neil Hunter of Lancer Corporation in con­ nection with Pheasant Valley subdivision. The City Council, Plan commission and Zoning Board of Appeals members will be asked to attend the con­ ference Wednesday, Oct. 27, at 7:30 p.m. Stanek read two letters which expressed objections to destruction of the old bridge. They came from the Hollan­ ders, C. Valendes and Jody Leiberson The other was from Mrs. John A. Bolger. Alderman Smith also advised that he had received two letters from people in Ward 3 regar­ ding the same matter. He felt there was nothing at this point that could be done to avoid destruction of the bridge. Brookwood Gardens was allowed an extension of time from Jan. 1, 1977, to May 15, 1977, to move a residence on its property on W. Route 120. This was done to conform with a zoning requirement issued Jan. 1, 1972.

Honor Memory Of McHenry Man At County Fair Dinner PAGE 13 - PLAINDEALER- Mrs. Ferol Tomlinson, McHenry, accepts a plaque honoring her late father, Clinton Martin, during the annual appreciation dinner sponsored by the McHenry County Fair association. Martin, board member from 1949 until 1957, helped with the revival of the fair in 1949 and ifi recent years served as head of the public address committee. He died earlier this year. DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY Memories of a pleasant summer filtered through the happy atmosphere at Building D on the McHenry county fairgrounds Saturday night as 250 people gathered for the annual appreciation dinner. The dinner, sponsored by the Fair board, was a "thank you" to the innumerable volunteers and unhearlded workers whose participation makes possible the August presentation of the colorful event. Attending were many others with an interest in the fair and who help in some way to make its presentation better, such as members of the McHenry County board, area political leaders, and police officials. A highlight was the honor given the late Clinton Martin, a member of the board from 1949 to 1957 and head of the public address committee for many years after 1957. An award presented to honor Martin was accepted by his daughter, Mrs. Ferol Tomlinson. Mrs. Martin is living in Summerfield, F1 , and sent a letter to Chuck Weingart, Fair association president, telling her ap- Junior Football league.

The next regular meeting of the Council is Monday, Nov. 1, at 8 p.m. preciation of the honor ac­ corded her husband. Another highlight occurred when Don Peasley, master of ceremonies for the tribute program, introduced Mel Stuessy, the venerable guest who recalled he worked on the fairgrounds track in 1918 while in high school. Stuessy has been associated with the fair in some capacity virtually every year until his retirement a few seasons ago. He has many memories of the fairground where many athletic events were held. From the time the fair was revived in 1949 to serve as a showcase for 4-H exhibits, he had the responsibility to erect the tents for the exhibits and livestock. In introducing the officers, Peasley reminded his listeners of their year-around dedication and concentration on their responsibilities as leaders of the fair. He said indicative of their willingness to serve the well being of the fair was their personally setting up the stage, tables and chairs for the evening's dinner by spending several hours the previous night in Building D. Weingart characterized the past year as one of expansion and record attendance. Good weather encouraged record crowds each day and night, boosting total attendance to 85.000.
