"That is why we did what we did." The board recently reduced the extraordinary vote requirement from three-fourths of the total board to a simple majority of the total board, or 13 votes. "State statutes require that an extraordinary vote be of the entire board," Buss explained. Mayor Stanek was in favor of at least a two-thirds vote < 16 votes) for conditional use petitions. "If the people who are voting aren't interested enough to attend when they know a vote is coming up, then they should not be on the board," Stanek said. "If we did 16, we would never have enough votes to go on to 'phase two' of the project. Politically, we know it can't pass," Buss declared. "We have had 8,000 studies on the Fox to tell us it might be dirty and now they want to spend $47,000 for a study to tell us that we might need a landfill," Buss said. According to Buss, a landfill site is a number one priority saying, "90 percent of our stuff is hauled to other counties and this accounts for the high cost of garbage removal." The Council was also concerned about "by right" zoning on the part of the county. The county zoning or­ dinance gives the county or township the right to erect buildings, gravel pits, garages, etc. without a zoning hearing. These structures must be built on nUM i. uKVEimuE.it ; ' land owned by the county or township, and can only be built in one of six zoning classifications. The possibility does exist, though, for the county to build a sewer plant next to a city's boundaries, and the city would have no recourse. "I don't think a city, a township or a county should be able to do things 'by right'," Buss said, "especially where con­ ditional use is concerned." The Council authorized the mayor to send a letter to the County board expressing concern over "by right" zoning and requiring at least a two-thirds majority vote on conditional use petitions. In closing, Mayor Stanek said, "I'd like to see it two- thirds - it's better to be safe than sorry." The Council also accepted the dedication of 27.5 acres of land adjacent to the Bauer farm, south of McHenry, to be used as the City sees fit. The land, owned in trust by Charles, Eugene and Jerome Miller, was part of an an­ nexation contribution. City Attorney Bernard Narusis reported "to the Council that a lawsuit, en­ titled Biggs vs. City of McHenry, has apparently come to an end - in favor of the City. The suit arose when Biggs, a city employee, was asked to change positions, with no loss of status or pay, and the employee filed a civil rights suit. The suit said the em­ ployee had been fired for no reason and that his character had been slan­ dered. Biggs sued the City - for $250,000. Narusis said the City denied the suit because Biggs had never been fired.

Biggs' lawyers then filed a motion to withdraw from the case, which was granted. The presiding judge, Marvin E. Aspen, dismissed the case "for want of prosecution" - there was no one to pursue the matter. The Council also approved a measure which will waive parking regulations for the holiday season. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) give conflicting attitudes. As of just over two weeks ago, one professor of economics and finance said inflation and unemployment will make for a poor Christmas season, especially for retail mer­ chants. On the other hand, the research director saw it differently. He observed that businesses were expecting a satisfactory holiday season, based on an increase in sales at that time. The other professor stated still another view. It was his opinion that sales gains may not be real. He believes that because of the high rate of inflation, the dollar sales are only down a bit, but the volume of sales is lower than expected. A note of optimism came from a leading toy chain owner who said he was looking forward to "an excellent Christmas". His observation was that even when shoppers' pocketbooks are pinched, they still buy toys for the children. The general observation that came from the numerous interviews was that though experts perceive the economy in dire straits, there have been signs that people are ignoring urgings toward conservative shopping, at least for their year end purchases. One 5,000-household survey in­ dicated that consumer spending plans have rebounded to their highest 1979 level from a three-year low last July. The economists who spoke out agreed on one thing - that this recession should be easing by next summer. With that in mind, perhaps there is an incentive for all of us to do what we all promise and never accomplish - shop early for Christmas - 1980, that is! K.A.F.

Now into its third year of operation, the Yule Con­ nection has been established for the thousands of Chicago area residents who find themselves isolated during the holiday season. The twenty-four hour hotline provides callers \yith alternatives to loneliness and isolation. Trained volunteers who answer calls have, at their fingertips, an index of all known resources in the area. They provide callers with everything from a sym­ pathetic ear to information on where to obtain clothing, food, toys and help in their neighborhood. Perhaps more importantly, the volunteers help callers find ways to get actively involved with other people and holiday activities. Every shift of volunteers is also backed up by a psychologist who will handle emergency calls. Statistics show that the holiday season is one of the most lonely times of the year. Suicides .escalate, family crises increase, criminal behavior is magnified and emotional tensions cause feelings of alienation from holiday festivities.

Several out-of-state Charge Young Man For Unlawful Weapon Use Pictured is a committee discussing special Christmas worship services at Shepherd of the-Hills Lutheran church, 404 North Green St., McHenry. From left are Robert Panning, Robert Hanson, Mel Hage, Harold Davis and Walter Johnson. Shooting at a neighbor's house can land someone in a lot of trouble and in the case of a Spring Grove man, it did. John Knoll of Spring Grove called the police after a man had been seen prowling around his house. Earlier, a picture window had been broken and it was deter­ mined that a .22 caliber was used. A description of the prowler resembled that of a neighbor and when police investigated, they found Bryan Pike, 20, of Spring Grove, wearing the described clothes with a .22 caliber pistol and am­ munition in his pocket. Pike was arrested for unlawful use of a weapon, criminal damage over $150, armed violence, reckless conduct and possession of a firearm without a firearm ownership identification (FOI) card. Bond was set at $15,000. When Sheriff's police were called to a family dispute at 1006 Ravine avenue, McHenry, Steven Bates became "uncooperative" and had to be restrained. Bates was arrested for battery and resisting a police officer, with bond set at $2,000. The manager of the Woodshed tavern in Wonder Lake called the police when a patron started throwing chairs and caused con­ siderable damage. Robert Lehr, 28, of Wonder Lake, was arrested for criminal damage to property over $150. No bond had been set.
