PAGE IS • FLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY MARCH 31,1982 MOON ROCKS IN McHENRY (Continued from page 1) mission May 5,1961 to the present time. Enlarged photos of the rocks were also on display with explanations of them also provided by NASA. An excellent additional exhibit was provided by Mrs. Dixon's third grade class from Edgebrook school. Their current science studies are centered around the solar system and a sampling of their projects showing the various planets in this solar system were on display Jhese projects were of special interest to the viewing public. Handouts were also available for both young and old. Pictures for the youngsters were handed out to color and for the older students and parents a survival quiz1* and a thought provoking paper which asked 10 questions about the moon. The answers to both the quiz and the questions were also provided. The evening provided a fun and educational night for the whole family. The reaction of the public was so positive that Pi Alpha hopes to continue to provide more exhibits of this type for the community. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) made in one month by tollway-assigned police. Commenting on their enforcement of the "good, workable, drunk driving law given them by the legislature, the police commander noted that now it's 'Jp to the court systems to impartially adjudicate each case On the national level, Congressman Lynn Martin joined with other House members to combat the drunk driver epidemic with an idea that carries no risks to current federal highway safety funds or create any new federal program to involve the expenditure of more federal funds. One of the ideas set forth is for first offenders to receive mandatory suspension of their license for up to one year with a provision for a restricted license, in addition to a fine and par­ ticipation in community service. Repeat offenders would also lose their license for not less than one year and would receive a mandatory 10-day prison sentence or participation in community service. All of these ideas sound encouraging if we could just be sure clout would not enter the picture for those with enough influence to "get off the hook". KAF CHANGE LOCATION OF ALBANESE TRIAL (Continued from page 1) theft and a recent charge of obstructing justice. All the victims were residents of Leisure Village in Fox Lake. Albanese, of Spring Grove, was president of Allied Die Casting Corp., 3923 W. West Ave., McHenry. The firm was founded by his father and his brother is treasurer of the corporation. The defendant is being held in McHenry county jail, Woodstock, on bonds totaling $3.5 million. An administrative order for segregation of Albanese in the jail was issued last week "because of in­ timidation of fellow inmates and the protection of all," authorities said. Albanese is allowed no visitation and privileges are being withheld. Judge Cowlin also ruled Monday on a defense motion seeking supression of recorded Albanese conversations on the telephone prior to his arrest. The judge said the state had complied with necessary requirements in the use of eavesdropping devices and he denied the defense motion to suppress the evidence. The Albanese trial was scheduled for April 12 before Judge Cowlin in Woodstock. Judge Cowlin is expected to preside over the trial in Bloomington. However, a definite date was not set Monday. Floro said the state is ready to proceed on the scheduled date. But Kelly said the defense probably would not be ready for trial until the first or second week in May. The judge said Monday a trial date would be set after making arrangements with McLean; county authorities for a courtroom and jail space for the accused man. FINANCIAL PLAN EXPLAINED (Continued from page 1) The engineer commented that the route for the sewer line provided temporary routing of hospital sewage up Green street to the existing plant, until such time as a south sewer plant was built. Sundin said he had received mixed reactions from both the Northeastern Illinois Plan Commission and IEPA regarding the temporary route. He also noted the indication was that the IEPA would allow the city to service its customers in the way it feels is most appropriate. Sundin said he hoped to have a letter to this effect by next week The engineer pointed out that about 1,100 feet of sewer line on Green street should be replaced regardless of whether it is used as a temporary route for the hospital. Fixing the line would cost between $50,000 and $70,000 depending on the size line used. Aid. Michael Wieser (3rd ward) questioned, "What if we're unable to obtain utility easements through the McDonald property (north of the hospital site)?"

He noted that the representatives ot the McDonald estate had offered easements for zoning in hearings held six or seven years ago. Narusis said the offer from the estate was essentially the same, although the zoning request was slightly different. Initially, the McDonald property had been zoned as an industrial park; however, because an abutting property owner was not party to the zoning hearings, the petition was voided. Now, the petitioners are expected to ask for some commercial lots along Route 31. From the initial contact with Heck- man, the abutting property owner, and the estate, the indication was that both were interested in pursuing the earlier proposal, Narusis said. Aid. Ray Smith (3rd ward) said, "I don't know how we can guarantee the outcome of a zoning hearing." "Ray, you're an experienced alderman and you know we can't," Narusis said. "This is their offer, not the city's." Aid. George Harker (2nd ward) asked if the bond payments would fall on the taxpayer in the event of default. Narusis said this was a restricted type of General Obligation bond and the burden would rest solely on the special service area (the hospital). "No lien has been put upon the general taxpayer," Narusis said. Aid. Cecilia Serritella (4th ward) and Wieser asked how it was possible to move ahead without a permit from the Illinois Environmental Protection agency (IEPA)? Aid Pepping said the aldermen should view Monday night's in­ formation as an outline, or a plan, of financing the hospital and the utilities. "Think of it as planning," Pepping said. "No commitments will be made until everything falls into place. As a councilman, I would not go with anything until all agreements are in black and white." "That's the guarantee I was looking for," Wieser said. Pepping noted that timing was crucial and that is why so many dif­ ferent aspects of the hospital development were being handled simultaneously. "We have attempted to plan the financing in a 'worst case' situation," Pepping said. Attorney Ladd told the council the financial consultants were holding to their predictions of late spring or early summer when the ultimate trough in the interest market would appear. "We have been advised by the un­ derwriters to be ready to go," Ladd said "I would point out that when the trough appears, there will be a ton of bond issues on the market and we want to be in front of them." Ladd noted that each percentage point of interest amounted to about $250,000 which could be used for con- RESCUE MAN AFTER CRASH (Continued from page 1) remembered nothing more of the ac­ cident The driver of the car, Thomas F. Ducy. 7103 Johnsburg-Wilmot road, Spring Grove, told McHenry police he saw a light in the field and stopped his Ducy said he backed the vehicle and found Savalick under the rear wheel. Charges are pending the results of the investigation by McHenry police. The accident occurred at about 7:50 p.m. March 29. A deer was killed at about the same spot on the road when it ran out in front of a car driven by Dana L. Wallace, of 8314 Rambler road, Wonder Lake. Ms Wallace said she tried to avoid the animal, but could not. The collision occurred at 1:10 a.m. March 24. No tickets were issued and medical aid was refused after a car drove into a ditch on Route 120 near Ringwood road. The driver of the car, Carol C. Weiland, of 5005 Maple Hill, McHenry, told McHenry police she did not know how the car ended in the ditch. She was later taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Area Rescue squad, the report said. The accident occurred at 9:30 p.m. March 23. CONSERVATION MEETING The next regular meeting of the board of trustees of the McHenry County Conservation district will take place at 6512 Harts road, Ringwood, April 1 starting at 7 p.m. Memorial Service H Safety Products Service Offered The McHenry County Farm Bureau Women's committee is offering a service for both Farm Bureau mem­ bers and the public Friday, April 2. As one of its safety projects, the Women's committee has arranged for a fire extinguisher company to service fire extinguishers that use dry chemicals to fight Class A, B, or C type fires. Company personnel will be at the Farm Bureau office on McConnell road from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Also, a company representative will have new equipment of various sizes to demonstrate and to sell, Mrs. Leona Luerssen, Farm Bureau Women's committee chairman said. Crash Victims Honored It was more than a week after the tragic crash of the KC-135 Illinois National Guard jet, but there remained the telltale signs of tension and grief on the faces of family members of the victims last Sunday. It was in Moody Memorial church, Chicago, where memorial services were held for the 25 men and two women who died following an explosion of the plane over Greenwood Friday night, March 19. As rites were con­ ducted nine days later, the cause of the crash was still unknown, and an in­ vestigation continued. Uniformed military personnel were conspicuous among the large assem­ blage estimated at more than a thousand. Among guest speakers was Governor James Thompson, who offered words of consolation to the families of the ac­ cident victims. One of the military speakers, in commenting on the awareness that the possibility of death is always present in time of war, added that this is not true in time of peace. Therefore, he con­ cluded, the deaths of these 27 men and women are more difficult to accept. The 566th Air Force band and musichorale provided special music following taps. The Moody Memorial church was selected for the service because of its capacity to hold 4,000. Parking facilities were furnished by the Moody Bible Institute. Business Contests Offered High school students from throughout McHenry county will compete in tests of business skills April 1 at McHenry County college. This is the first time the college has sponsored the competition which is named the MCC League contest Teams of students selected by the local high schools will compete in bookkeeping, shorthand, spelling and typing at the contest. Awards will be presented to in­ dividual winners as well as to the school which accumulates the most points in the competition. The students will spend the afternoon at the college taking the tests and at­ tending the awards ceremony. Instructors who planned the contest include Gloria Morris from MCC, Jan Basman from Johnsburg high school and Will Farrell from McHenry West high school. High school students who want to participate in the League contest should contact business teachers at their school. Ac^agMeod More Light "It's no coincidence that the lights always seem so bright at grandmother and grandfather's house. The typical 60-year-old needs seven times more light than a 20-year-old to perform the same task," observes Dr. Paul Ran­ dolph, president-elect of the Illinois Optometric Association (IOA). This reflects a change that occurs with the eyes' natural aging process. Because there is no treatment for the eyes' need for greater light, older Americans must compensate by making their surroundings brighter and taking extra care inside and out­ side of the house. He offers some suggestions that will help: Use higher wattage bulbs in lamps and overhead fixtures. Replace a 100- watt bulb with a 150-watt bulb, or a 60 watt with a 100-watt. Move closer to the light source. This simple strategy usually results in m r r r A T A i n r . J C U H J J E I J & i n P . £ _ sufficient light for reading, sewing, and other activities. Carry a pocket flashlight. This handy item helps find a darkened keyhole at night or objects in dimly lit areas. Take special precaution in dimly lighted areas like basements. Objects on the floor become potentially dangerous hazards. Evening and night driving demand more attention as we grow older, and a few precautions will make driving at these times much safer," says Dr. Randolph. Recommends Dr. Randolph: Reduce speeds to compensate for decreased night vision and possible slower reaction time. Take extra care on poorly lit roads. Clean windshields, headlights and taillights more frequently. "Driving great distances at night is not a good idea for older Americans, but those who must should stop to rest frequently," concludes Dr. Randolph.
