PAGE 18 - P LA IN DEALER - WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBER 23.1961 PROCEED WITH SEWER PLANNING IN COMMUNITY (Continued from page 1) would be issued to handle the $875,000 local share of the total co6ts, Heck said, and they hoped that by the time these would be needed interest rates would be in the 12 percent range. Wieser wondered if the fact of the .^chosen site for the plant would affect >the total costs. Heck said his firm was *Iaware that McHenry had selected a possible site and it could. About possible differences in equity <of costs and services between the two com muni tites which was raised, Heck v^said consolidation of the two ^municipalities would simplify this Jv, question. He also commented they jC would have to work carefully on the timing of completion of different parts t£of the systems to meet the needs of each Vcommunity as they came due. % Heck said he had talked wfffl Richard Kotner, project manager^ JOTEJJA at ^Springfield, and had reptatively ^scheduled a mid term review of the project at the Shores for Oct. 15 and a ^ possible meeting of the committee Nov. £5 for an environmental inventory. >. FAP advisory committee members y are Wieser and Jim Blum from v McHenry, Ray Rigsby and Howard Lexow from the Shores, and Tom * Botten from Indian Ridge subdivision . as representative of the unincorporated •' area. Nina Keen is public participation coordinator. COUNCIL DEBATE OVER VARIOUS ISSUES (Continued from page 1) with Aldermen Pepping and Wieser T voting 'no' as both commented, "The I Lions knew about this (the time * requirement) and you have to take a * stand somewhere". I As Superintendent Weber advised the - council that Baxter and Woodman had ' located a firm, Professional Services * Group, that offered to televise sewer ' lines at 36 cents per lineal foot, the - alderman okayed the viewing of the "problem line along Boone Creek and I~also a section on Green street, north of ^John street to locate blockages or 'breaks in the line. After considerable debate, the council acceded to Pep- ping's objection to running the T V. 1 camera through the section of 8-inch, 'due to be replaced anyway, as non­ -productive, even though the cost was *<low t A review of bills payable by the city * revealed several large payments ($500 *or more) to what were described as ^professional witnesses including tAssociated Planners (Robert •Grossman) with a fee of $1,500. Wieser •said he was concerned about these ^payments in connection with the ^Decker suit and wanted someone to 'explain them. He noted that the council had reported publicly that the cost of acquiring the 31 acres was $175,000 when the actual coat, including these fees and expenses of litigation, would exceed $200,000. Attorney Narusis, who represented the city in the suit, explained that they had to justify to the jury and and the court a key element of the suit in which the owner-defendant alleged a reasonable probability or rezoning his (the Decker property) to commercial use for a marina claimed to be needed for that section of the river. Narusis said that in order to contradict this allegation which could increase the value of the property in the eyes of the jury, he had to establish that the city plan did not contemplate this use for the property and the appraisal thus would be based on the existing rather than a possible use. Narusis noted that on the rather high surveying bill, the property had to be surveyed and staked twice for the jury to view, because following the original surveying, the stakes "and flags outlining the plat mysteriously disappeared just before the jury was taken to the site. He noted also that the staking became necessary after the property in question was mowed, probably by the owner in preparation for the viewing, covering a larger area than actually involved in the suit. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) crossing the street near the C.M. Adams store when the brainless driver came sweeping thru. Without making the least attempt to stop the animal, the driver sped on, and over the boy went horse, buggy and all, and still there was not sign of a stop. "The unfortunate little fellow was picked up by an eye witness of the accident and Dr. Nye was summoned. Upon investigation it was found that the boy had suffered a broken foot, two ugly gashes on the head and several internal injuries. Dr. Nye dressed the wounds and at this writing the boy is getting along as well as could be expected under the circumstances. "R-- was brought to McHenry the following morning and locked up until Tuesday, when he was given a hearing before Justice Mead. "He pleaded guilty to the charge of drunk and disorderly and upon paying a fine of $10 and costs and promising to pay all doctor bills he was freed. "Had the proper charge been brought against the brainless prisoner, no more suitable place could have been found for him than the state prison at Joliet- Such a brainless character has no right to mingle among civilization and a keen eye should be kept on him as well as all others of this nature at all times". This kind of journalism today might be a deterrent to some of the irresponsible driving we see on the road every day.

Introduce Children To Hospital Environment A journey down the Yellow Brick road to experience a variety of hospital settings, personnel, equipment, and demonstrations is being offered to McHenry area children aged 5 through 8. This new community relations program is designed to introduce the young child to a hospital environment, and will be presented to the public Saturday, Sept. 26, at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., and noon, on a reservations-only, first- come, first-served basis. The Carey house at 3409 W. Waukegan road will be the site of this special event, and each room will be transformed into a simulated hospital setting. Children will be led through the rooms by characters from The Wizard of Oz, and will have an opportunity to see many hospital procedures in action. Each room will be staffed by a p r o f e s s i o n a l d e p a r t m e n t representative as children tour through such settings as a sample room for a liatric patient, Surgery, the iboratory, Radiology, Admitting, an Emergencv room, and Respiratory Therapy. They will examine trays of surgical instruments, an anaesthetic mask, blood pressure cuff, stethoscope, and an X-ray view box with appropriate films. ... _ There will also be various demonstrations in progress in the different rooms. Hospital personnel, dressed in their standard professional attire, will answer questions in a vocabulary children can understand. "We believe it's important for mcUbospital and why," says Ken^Sast! executive director for McHenry hospital. "Too often a child's first experience with a hospital is when a loved one becomes ill, or the child himself is ill or injured. We hope this program helps to allay the fears many children have about hospitals, and provides an experience tnat is both entertaining ana educational." The children will be greeted by the Wicked Witch of the West, and receive an apple from Glinda the Good as they leave. Other hospital mementos, such as nurse and doctor caps, wrist Dands and balloons, will be given out on their mini-journey. Special activities are planned for parents while they wait for their children to complete the tour. A limited number of tour times are available for Sept. 26. Parents or group leaders must make reservations through the Public Relations office of McHenry hospital, at 385-2413. Mothers March Drive Opens Loire Miller, chairman of the March of Dimes Mothers March against Birth Defects, announced the opening of the annual drive Monday, Sept. 21. It will continue through Sept. 27. The drive will take place throughout the 60050 zip code area, with about 250 volunteers. "This is the first Mothers March in several years", Ms. Miller said Mon­ day. One unusual feature is that it is being conducted for the first time during the good weather of fall. In the past the Mothers March has always taken place in January". The chairman noted that while polio was the entire focus of the drive at its origin, the campaign now collects for birth defects. About 15 million Americans have birth defects. This number includes babies with markedly low birth weight. Some 1.2 million infants, children and adults are hospitalized annually for treatment. The March of Dimes is combatting this most serious child health problem which each year strikes more than 250,000 babies. They suffer from mental retardation, blindness, deafness, missing limbs, defective blood cells or body chemistry disorders. Ms. Miller listed the following numbers who are served within McHenry county: cerebral palsy, 7; cataracts, 3; severe mental retar­ dation, 5; less serious retardation, 19; learning disabilities, 10; hypotonic, 4; spina bifida, 3; muscular dystrophy, 1; blind, 2; motor planning problems, 8; microcephalic, 2; hydrocephalics, 1; orthopaedically handicapped, 4; emotionally disturbed, 3; and hard of hearing-deaf, 6.
