SECTION 2 - PAGE 3 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. APRIL 18,1979 Village of McHenry Shores Jude La Francis 385-5067 Vacationers Find Unwelcome Guests Upon Return Home Bob and Ann Mason returned from a fabulous vacation (a gift for Ann's birthday) and found borders in their home, borders who were not even nice enough to knock before entering. The two raccoons living in the chimney of their house drove Bob and Ann to seek help from the Animal Control of McHenry county. Hopefully, the two night revelers (and fighters) are gone and the Masons will be able to again have a fire in their fireplace. But the Masons also have another problem to contend with. Perhaps it's a problem that some of you may have, too. Birds, flying from the lovely pine trees in front of their home, fly directly into their huge picture windows. Animal authorities suggested, that mobiles be hung in the window or decals of some sort be put up to signal to the birds that something solid is there or merely to discourage them from flying in that direction. PRE- AND POST-ELECTION As of this writing, the village elections are five days away. However, to the reader, the elections have already taken place. Nevertheless, space will be given to a meeting which occurred prior to the elections. This meeting did contain campaign promises, and as the day after the election, it seems fitting that these promises (or goals) made by the candidates should be reiterated again, to be committed to memory or discarded, whatever you choose. Accolades and congratulations for the winners who will be in next peek's column. Last Thursday evening, at the Alliance church on Bull Valley road, the two presidential candidates of the/ village, Rose Lillegard and Dave Grimes, held an an­ swering session, which was sponsored by the McHenry Area Political Action com­ mittee. The session lasted from 7 until 10, and it was a most informative meeting. Quite a few people were in attendance and very good questions were asked from the people in the audience. Of course, there were many questions regarding the condition and repair of the roads, (the number one con­ cern of many village residents); however, there were also other pertinent questions on timely issues rarely discussed by the residents. A brief resume of the answers given by both can­ didates follows. Mr. Grimes stated in his ten- minute introduction that he is interested in the health and safety of the village residents, that he would not usurp the authority of committee heads, that he will appoint people and delegate authority, that he does not want to buy the water company (it's too costly), and that he is perhaps foi' a sewage treatment plant. He said that he saw no ill effects if the water company was not purchased. He stated that he was against deficit spending, but if the monies were available, spend them. He further stated that the president should submit a budget guideline and a capital improvement plan. He felt that the village should plan for its own rural area and pursue annexation only if the village can control it. He mentioned that all ordinances should be enforced or amended or gotten rid of. He also spoke out in favor of repeating perc tests over and over on lots which previously failed the test. He assured the audience that the RTA should be contained if it can't be suppressed. He set a goal to provide sewers and roads for not more than $1,000 per home. He concluded by saying that he intended (if elected) to conduct the office in a businesslike fashion, in good faith, and get cooperation of people serving in the govern­ ment, watch out for the safety of the individual, and give written information to people and department heads. Rose Lillegard commented . on the tremendous growth that the village has undergone in the past five years. This growth was largely responsible for the amount of planning which has gone into the Creekside Park project, road repair, ditch survey, equipment purchases, and sewer project. She men­ tioned the need to oversee jobs performed by the various departments because of the part-time nature of the in­ dividuals involved. She further stated that the board of trustees of several years back voted to maintain the roads with seal coating, etc. in keeping with the amount of funds available. She remarked on the many grants secured for the village in the past four years, in excess of $225,000. She discussed the importance of industry to the tax relief of homeowners, and the need for small villages to have this land for the possible annexation of industrial property. She presented the board's reasoning behind the purchase of equipment in the past in order to serve a dual purpose in the future, ,such as the police radios (future use by the road department), and the riding mower for the beach property and village annex and hall. She commented on the need for a police department to serve the people, and not concern itself with bringing in revenue. She maintained the need for planning years in advance, with the additional need to prepare to change those plans as the state and other agencies alter and revise their plans. She mentioned that zoning ordinances were critical to an area (they protect the homeowner) and that they cannot be gotten rid of; the zoning board must meet to hear appeals on them. She com­ mented on the idea of sub­ mitting a working budget which is subject to change because of the impossibility of determing costs before hand on such items as road repairs, sewers, maintainance costs, and other municipal expenditures. She concluded by stating that because of the growth of the village (and the ever-changing board of trustees) purchases were made and plans carried out by the board at that time which now seem to be im­ practical or not fully developed. She feels that goals and plans must be flexible because needs and finances may change from month to month, and this flexibility and reevaluation are important to the village and its progress. RETURN HOME Jack, Valerie, Christine, Stacey, Andrea, Carolyn and • Gretchen Schmidlin returned from their Easter vacation to New Jersev to see relatives. It was the first time many of them back there have seen little Gretchen, and she managed to warm all of their hearts. Glad your trip was enjoyable, and two little girls down the street missed all of you terribly.

Seven Commitments by which McHenry hospital's board t>f directors are evaluating expenditures in a time of rampant inflation, have been issued by the board in its newly-published annual report. "High priority has been given to solving the dilemma of ex­ panding hospital services while attempting to control costs," according to LeROy E. Olsen, board president. "On the one hand, we must fulfill the commitment which we and our predecessors have made to maintain a hospital which offers the best modern care. On the other hand, we must continue to control costs, iQspite of theynrelenting tide oPTTrfte*4«ir'and increasing gcvernment regulations."
