P \r,b .M'L uM>»ALfcK-FRIDAY, JUNE 5,1981 COUNTY BOARD APPROVES REAPPORTIONMENT PLAN (Continued from page 1) people want less government," said Mrs. Hughes. During the special meeting, the motion for the three-district board was delayed and eventually reached an impasse when amendments were made to the motion. One amendment called for a six-district reapportionment. Board member A1 Collins said the three-district board would simply maintain the status quo, despite the 32.4 percent increase in population over the last 10 years. "To maintain a three district board is a step backwards," Collins said. The six-district proposal failed by a 14-8 margin. Mrs. Hughes then proposed a four-district county, contending that the four- districts would result in a "better balance between rural and urban areas." After the four-district amendment failed, the board approved a three-district reapportionment. The board then entered into a debate concerning which of the three-district maps to adopt. After each proposal failed, the issue reached a deadlock. Members of Districts I and II caucused and returned to the board floor with a motion to reconsider earlier action and place a three-district map, originally proposed by board member, Edward Buss, of McHenry, back on the floor for a vote. The Buss proposal, which failed 17 to 6 the first time, passed with a 13 to 10 majority." It was also expected that vacant District I board seat would be filled at the special meeting. .The vacancy occurred when District I board member Dean Marlowe resigned from the county board. No recommendation was received from the Legislative and Public Affairs committee and no action on the matter was taken. An appointment to the position is now expected at the next regular meeting of the county board. FIESTA DAYS (Continued from page 1) mitted for jurying.

ZONING BOARD DEBATES NEW LIGHT COMMERCIAL DISTRICT (Continued from page 1) venience food mart. Narusis observed that the classification could probably limit the hours of operation as well as the square footage Smith commented that he was not in favor of creating a new classification hut admitted that there is a need for a compromise classification. He did add, however, that he would like to see a square footage requirement added to 'he classification ZBA member Kay Halverson said she would like to see not only the square footage requirement but a limitation on the hours of operation as well. Fred Kupstis, of the Zoning board, had some problems with the concept of the light commercial noting that spot zoning - arbitrarily zoning business in a residential area - was illegal regardless of the business classification. "We are talking about zoning along traveled routes < where business zoning is likely to occur) and I don't know why we are bothering," Kupstis said. Narusis reiterated that the light commercial classification was a compromise measure which "would take out of consideration more in­ tensive uses " "It is a little less harsh and would avoid repeating mistakes like putting a muffler shop in a residential area." Narusis said. The question arose whether the square foot limitation should apply to all permitted uses, noting that professional offices should perhaps not be restricted in size After some discussion it was decided that the square foot limitation should be applied to the following permitted uses: grocery stores, drug stores, electrical appliance shops, florist shops, hard­ ware stores, meat markets, radio and television sales and service shops, retail stores and home appliance shops ZBA member Robert Jessup suggested having someone take a look at the floor plans of representative establishments in order to determine a ballpark figure for a square footage requirement. In addition. Attorney Narusis was directed to research similar zoning classifications of other municipalities to see how they handled the problem. The meeting was recessed until 3 p.m. Friday, June 5, when the in­ formation will be presented and a recommendation could be made. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) Our newspaper has carried accounts of numerous district and state events in which many local students have par­ ticipated and some have distinguished themselves Unlike even 25 years ago. young folks are becoming conscious of the wide variety of careers available to them and are looking into those that offer the greatest opportunities this year of 1981. Many of this year's graduates will be entering the business world and may be interested in the quote from an American President many years ago: "The business of America is business". It's still true, even though it has met with much criticism in recent years We exchange the work of our hands or minds for the work of someone else's hands or minds - that's how we live, and it's called business. Unfortunately, we've allowed the contributions of many in business to be overshadowed by the actions of a few, and the reputation of business has suffered. We have come to admire the one who gives, but hasn't produced, above the one who makes the gifts possible. Charity we praise, but achievement we shrug off as unim­ portant High school and college graduates of 1981 may be the very people to change all that K A F centrate on the future and said that for herself, her success lay in what she has learned and the friends she has made. East campus class president, Vittorio Frank Poco. commented on the friendships and unity struck during the class' high school term.

A Sage advice was presented to the graduates by Mary Ix>u Redmond, president of the West campus Class of 1981. when she said.
