WIND UP ARGUMENTS IN DEVELOPMENT (Continued from page 1) fast as you can maintain present levels," Ladd warned. He added that from a plan­ ning aspect, there was no sense to include multi-family housing on Curran road. "This type of growth is bad," Ladd explained. "At the very least it is premature. It will have a detrimental effect on surrounding properties and communities." Ladd urged the board to reject the petition. "Let them come back with their cards in order," he asked. "We're not stopping," Ladd threatened. "This is only our first board of review." Heimberg told acting board chairman, Robert Blake, he was objecting to anything said in testimony that was not supported by evidence. Heimberg reminded the board the only witnesses to testify for the objectors were their attorneys. "Everything they reported was negative," he explained. "Nothing was brought up positive." Heimberg said the traffic and fiscal impact study was done by Harlem Bartholomew and Associates at the request of the city, not the petitioner, and called the firm "very imminent and well-qualified". Mrs. James Erickson, 913 Oakwood, addressed the board and said she was speaking on behalf of the Rescue squad. She explained that streets were nearly impassable at times for the squad when they were trying to get to emergency calls and asked the city to "control growth". Only four zoning board members were in attendance at the Monday night meeting, Blake, Suzanne Kaus, Bryce Klontz and Harold Spruth. Absent for cause were Ronald Wilkins, James Fouse and Anne Cuda. Blake recessed the hearing until next Friday, March 9, at 3 p.m. The hearing is scheduled for discussion and deliberation by the board concerning the petition.

He was born April 3, 1897, in Copenhagen, Denmark and came to this country as a young man. He married Fonda Coyle Altmann Oct. 5, 1947 in Chicago, and has been a PAGE 17 - Pl.AINDEAI.ER - FRIDAY, MARCH 2,1979 Hold Tornado Drill March 6 McHenry County Emergency Services & Disaster Agency (MCESDA), in cooperation with Illinois Emergency Ser­ vices & Disaster Agency (IESDA) and the National Weather Service (NWS), is sponsoring a statewide tornado drill Tuesday, March 6, at 10:30 a.m., according to MCESDA Director John J. Shay of McHenry. The purpose of this drill is to provide an opportunity for all those concerned with protec­ tion from tornadoes to review their plans for tornado preparedness and to test the operations of those plans. "We are particularly interested," Shay said, "in making certain that schools, hospitals, fac­ tories and offices test their plans." Of all severe winds, tor­ nadoes are the most violent. They strike swiftly and pass in only seconds leaving incredible destruction and often death in their paths. History has recorded tornadoes in McHenry county on several occasions. In October, 1959, the., Edgebrook Heights section of McHenry suffered thousands of dollars damage to property. On April 11, 1965, Crystal Lake, Island Lake and much of the area between these cities ex­ perienced tornadoes that left six people dead, scores injured and millions of dollars in property damage. On April 21, 1967, the western portion of McHenry county received considerable property damage at the time Lake Zurich and Oak Lawn were recording 33 deaths and 500 injuries. Mini- tornadoes were also recorded in Lawrence June 16, 1973, and Lake In The Hills Aug. 15, 1978. When a watch is received by the McHenry county sheriff from the Illinois state police, it is immediately transmitted, simultaneously over the county sheriff, fire and Emergency Service's frequencies and received on special tone coded receivers in schools, hospitals and businessess all over McHenry county. Numerous volunteers of MCESDA are sent to pre-assigned locations to watch the weather under the direction of volunteer chief weather observer, Barry Valentine. All these volunteers receive numerous hours of specialized training. The MCESDA office receives and evaluates this information along with radio reports from nearby areas and monitors the NWS teletype in the office. Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms are not always preceded by the issuance of watches because forecasting has not yet been developed to that point. Many people cannot differentiate between watches and warnings. Shay said, "The watch tells people to go about their business, but to keep an eye on the sky and keep in touch with weather statements and warnings issued by the NWS.,, The watch means the weather conditions are just right for a tornado to spawn. The warning tells people of an actual sighting or an indication by radar and urges those in the danger path to prepare to take immediate shelter."' The MCESDA Weather division will sponsor a weather training seminar. The purpose of this seminar will be to train weather spotters in observing severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Subjects covered will be the thunderstorm development, safety and reporting rules, and how our Emergency Operating Center < EOC > operates during wat­ ches and warnings. This seminar will be given twice Wednesday, March 7. The first will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the second will be from 7 to 10 p.m., in the operations room at the courthouse. Those completing the final examination will be awarded certificates designating them as tornado spotters by the NWS. Advance registration is necessary! If any county resident would be interested in attending this seminar, they must call the MCESDA office at, • 815 338-6400, by Monday, March . 5. Several years ago, the McHenry County board, authorized the purchase of an. informative film which exr plains about tornado in-, formation and safety, measures. According to Director Shay, it has been shown to over 20,000 people in, McHenry county. If any club or. organization would like to have, an informative weather program conducted, thjey may, contact the office soon, as there are limited dates available. At the present time, nothing , is known that can prevent tornadoes. Therefore, everyone must know what to do if he finds himself j^a severe weather , situation "We'djike to give them the, information on what to do. and then hope they do it," Shay said • resident of Richmond for the last 17 years. He was a graduate of the Chicago College of Naprapathy, class of 1941. He was a naprapath in Chicago and Richmond, retiring in August 1977. A life member of the American and the Illinois Naprapathic associations, Dr. Stewart was a member of the National College Naprapathic Alumni association, a member of the Richmond Rotary club and of the Richmond Masonic lodge AF & M No. 143, and a former trustee of the village of Richmond from 1966 to 1970. He is survived by his wife, Fonda; a daughter, Lois Alt­ mann, Chicago; a son, Raymond Altmann, Novi, Mich and by two grandchildren. Visitation was held from 2 to 9 p.m. Saturday at the Ehom Adams funeral home in Rich­ mond, and from 2 to 10 p.m. Sunday at the Matz funeral home in Mount Prospect. Services were held at 1:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 26, at Matz funeral home, and interment was in Memory Gardens cemetery, Arlington Heights. Memorials may be made in his name to the Richmond Rescue squad; or to the Chicago College of Naprapathy building fund. • • » • People who get tired and continually postpone their work have weak minds.

MEMBER Neighborhood offices. High goals seem charac­ teristic of all of the members in the family of Genji Siato. 17- year-old Chilean exchange student staying with the Larry Mays family of Johnsburg. The son of a prominent physician in Santiago and the president of the Chilean teachers' organization, Genji aspires to practice medicine some day, as a heart specialist. His older brother is studying law, and two sisters plan to enter medicine. Applying to the American Youth Exchange program, the young man requested that he be allowed to stay with the Mays family, who had hosted his sister, Yuki-Ko, just two years ago. For his ten-week visit to Johnsburg high school, Genji, (who is fluent in both Spanish and Japanese and can un­ derstand most of the English language), will be sampling McHENRY HEARING AID Discount Service Center EVERY WED. 1 TO 5 PM 3937 W.

When he returns to Santiago for his junior year in March, he will resume an eleven-hour school day, and a course of study that includes physics, chemistry, P.E., art. music, English, German, Spanish, psychology, geometry and biology. Education is paid for by the government, and Genji says that children start school at four years of age. While the mention of South America doesn't bring to mind winter pictures, Genji says his favorite sport here and in Chile is skiing. He is amazed that it doesn't cost $40 a day here, as it does when he skies at home. ZONING SUPPORT "To the Editor: "Since the proposed county zoning ordinance inhibits their ability to develop how and where they choose, without hearings or plat revievi? procedures that safeguard the buyer, it is understanable that many developer and real estate interests are opposed to such an ordinance. It is indeed too restrictive for the developer who wants to subdivide in areas without city services and where land is less expensive. "But we now know who subsidizes this kind of development: we, the people who live here, pay the price - with higher taxes and inadequate services, traffic congestion, and abuse of our natural resources. "To residents of McHenry county, the proposed zoning ordinance has much to offer Provisions will make gravel operations more acceptable and reclamation will restore mined areas. Farmlarid will be protected from exploitation by requiring rezoning whenever the land is to be divided into less than 35 acres for residential use. "The proposed ordinance- may not be perfect, but at least it is an improvement over the> present and outdated or1 dinance Since many people would like it to include more safeguards - and a few people* would like it to contain fewer of them - it is ah o a compromise.' Even a compromise is better- than what we have.
