IMt MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (COf9ti«H*+d ff#fH M Deep in her memory is an appreciation for the value placed on youth by an adult population who "knew what was needed and felt a better education must be provided". / She remembers the late Supt. C.H. Duker as "nurturing our class". Forty years ago, when she took her place behind the teacher's desk for the first time, he was still superintendent. en then", she remembers. admonit "He warned against gangs, even Still vividly recalled was his ition to teachers at their meetings. Pointing to the tragedy of ruining young lives, he asked them to give personal attention to the students, and cautioned that when young people Mil to receive attention they form cliques, and later gangs. The young teacher left McHenry, but returned to the elementary school leaching desk as Catherine Walsh Miller many years later. She was astonished to see ideas, presented as new, bearing a close resemblance to those carried out during her first teaching stint, but in a modern adaptation. - And so the doors of Landmark and East campus will open again to welcome students on the first day of school next Monday. But in 1982 there will be more doors - those of West campus, two junior highs, two grade schools, as well as expanding Johnsburg and Montini school enrollments. - Little ones who meet their teachers for the first time at Landmark next week will not even have a hint of the world before them. And they will have no basis for comparison with the confined limits of the world of Leo Heimer and Catherine Walsh on their first day in school in the same school. Only when they are older, and review the proud history of McHenry education, will they develop a pride in what has gone before, and a zeal for what is yet to come. KAF MIXED RIVERFRONT VIEWS VOICED (Continued from peg* 1) buoys so as to delineate a "severe mud-sand bar which had been discovered by countless outboard drives and engines," resulting in severe boat damage and public safety hazard, in the riverway south of Kawson bridge. The second resolution urged the Division of Waterways to administer a "balanced" river waterflow above and below the McHenry Dam, to the <*nd that no-wake and river closure conditions would apply equally to the river above and below the Dam. Costa explained that during the late- July high water ~ in the wake of the cloudburst that dumped nearly 9 inches on Lake in the Hills and at least 5 inches on Crystal Lake -- the IDOT Division of Waterways opted to open the McHenry Dam water control gates so as to flood the lower river area for more than week He said this was done while delivering "boating as usual" in the upper river area in time for the McHenry water carnival. The Federation called for "water level balancing...to the greatest ex­ tent practicable in the future, to allow equal jvater level and usage con­ ditions above and below the McHenry Dam - i.e., no-wake water and boating in upper and lower im­ poundments, rather than unrestricted usage above the dam, versus river below the dam closed to any boating because of flood conditions generated by opened sluice gates at the dam to manage the upper water level for boating including community water festivals..." Federation President Karen Salz, of Jacoby Fox River subdivision at McHenry, announced that copies of the resolutions will be mailed to all agencies involved as quickly as practicable following the meeting. Fox Riverfront Federation represents about 80 residential, commercial and political subdivisions lying along both banks of the Fox in McHenry and Lake counties, between the McHenry and Algonquin dams. It was organized during winter 1880-81 in the wake of severe river riverfront pier and land damage by what was termed uncontrolled boating abuses during flood-waters in October 1980. During the Federation meeting, its formal mission statement adopted by the membership dedicated FRF to -^protect, preserve and enhance the beauty, safety and security of the river and its riverfront lands." A book of by-laws of the new Federation was adopted during the meeting. VEGAS TRIP BRINGS LITTLE HOPE OF SOLVING MURDERS (Continued from pago t) Neumann was upset because Scharff threw Neumann's former wife out of the P M. Pub last year, so he returned to Chicago, drove to Lakemoor on the night of June 2, and killed Scharf and a newly-hired bartender, Ms. Freeman. The victims were found with gun­ shot wounds in the cheat. Hendte said robbery could be ruled out as a motive because a substantial inra<l of money was discovered at the death scene. McHenry county sheriff's detec­ tives have been working on the un­ solved slayings for more than a year, and say they have valuable dues and a "prime" suspect in the case, but it is not Neumann.

Village Dissolution Echoes Still Heard In Wonder Lake CHILD CARE PROGRAM8 Both East and West high schools are accepting applications for their child care programs. Interested parents can inquire with Mrs. Noyes at 385- 1145 by Kurt Begalka SHAW Mf DtA WWt SCRVtCI f A petition to dissolve the village of Wonder Lake was scrapped laat week by the Municipal Officers Electoral board, but the reverberations con­ tinue. Resident Jack Peleck voiced concerns at a village board meeting Tuesday night that the village is working on a double standard. Ken Majewski, former planning commission member, was removed from his position due to his efforts in circulating the dissolution petition. But Village President Bill Andrea said no further action would be taken against other village officials who participated. "We would hope that they will work for the village," Andrea said. One of those officials, Joanne L. Heinly, village director of health, said she does not support dissolution, but added people should have the opportunity of self-determination. "1 don't see anything wrong with this," she said. But if the dissolution hearing is any indication, residents appear to be rallying in support of the village, not against it. "I think it is a fine community," Andrea said. "I don't understand why they (opponents) stay hsrs. There sure isn't any fence around this community." Tuesday night the board voted to reimburse Andrea the $38 he loat when he was forced to take off from work for the public hearing on Aug. 30. Village Clerk Duane Zeman said this expenee can be added to the $68 bill for postage concerning the dissolution issue end sn estimated $180 attorney fee charged for the 'I don't think the village should have to pay another dime of this mees," Zeman said. W. Randal Baudin, attorney for the dissolution forces, said his clients have 10. days to appeal, although no action has been tsken yet. Zeman said if such an appeal la filed, the village likely would sue for court costs. Money is alao in short supply for the roads, but Superintendent or Public Works Allan Zeman asked for and received an additional $1,000 for oiling and limited patching. Zeman saidall but about $780 of the $12,500 targeted for roads has been THE COMPLETE FLOOR COVERING CENTER Carpets Hoor Cou>rinf>s # *#. in.™ Announces A COMPLETE INVENTORY CLOSEOUT OF ALL OUTDOOR CARPETING August 27,28,29 & 30th COME SAVE BETWEEN 34 % to 50 % OFF On All Our Summer Inventory of Grass Carpeting! ?, We must impress upon you the need to choose early for the best selection.

The coets to date are: $2,968 for 120 tons of patch; $1,783, grading and ditching; $370 for gravel; $433 for installing culvert and $764 for labor. In addition, the priming and seal coating of Acorn Path will coat about $6,430. Allan Zeman said the remaining balance would be used for additional ditching work, hence the need for more money to complete other work before winter. There are about a half dozen roads in the village that never have been primed with thick tar or sealed. Ha anticipates finishing these within five years, providing motor fuel tax payments of $800 to $1,000 per month do not shrink with the economy.
