If one control was to malfunction, the whole control unit is replaced with a spare. "How many installations are in a heavy retail area?" $sked ZBA member Annie Mae Cuda. Robinson said most sales are to funeral homes and residential locations are common. He said the majority are in a situation similar to McHenry. .j In response to a question concerning the frequency of cremations, Justen replied it would depend on business. "You may have five in a week and then again you can go for three weeks with nothing," Justen said. « Robinson noted the increasing trend in society toward the less-expensive cremation. "For many years, funeral directors didn't care for cremations because it took away from their regular ser­ vices," Robinson said. The projection for the 1990's is that 40 percent to 50 percent of the deceased will be cremated. "Could this be done somewhere else?" Mrs. Cuda asked. Justen said economically it would not be as feasible and also the security would be better at the funeral home. "Security is the number one issue," Justen said. Semrow questioned the economics of the proposal noting that if the 1990 projections were accurate, there was a potential for 400 cremations a year. Robinson commented that if the number should jump, one could be sure that other funeral homes would start their own crematories. "If it flowers and looks good, more will jump in," Robinson said. Semrow and Mrs. Halverson he put the crematory in another city. Mrs. Cuda objected strenuously to the line of questioning and pointed out the purpose of the zoning board was to consider the petition in front of the board. Semrow again suggested that this was the expansion of an existing non­ conforming use. Narusis reiterated that this was a different situation. "It may be accessory, but it is an entirely different use," Narusis said. "They're asking for a special use permit. It is a special use of the B-l, or almost any other district. If the funeral home were not there at all, they could still ask for a crematory." Mrs. Cuda made the motion to approve the petition and recommend approval to the city council. - Voting in favor were ZBA members Kupstis, Jessup, Cuda and Fouse. Voting against were members Halverson, Semrow and Tobeck. No recommendation will be made because state law requires an af­ firmative vote of five to make a positive recommendation. The matter will go to the city council for final action.

Dodds said it was a shame one or two people would do something like this. "It gives the school a bad name," Dodds pointed out. "The other 849 students handled it beautifully. They were out in the cold; some of them in gym clothes. I didn't hear a gripe from any of the students when I saw them in the halls afterward. All of the students were back in classes within about an hour, Dodds said. Honor Bill Silk For GOP Service Bill Silk, a Wonder Lake Republican precinct committeeman for many years, was guest of honor at a gathering of friends and admirers Monday, Feb. 7, held at Giovanni's, Wonder Lake. Among speakers who told of Mr. Silk's accomplishments were Supervisor Albert Adams, County Auditor A1J our dan and Trustee Bruce Novak. The dinner was sponsored by the Republican Township Central committee. A plaque was presented to the guest of honor and his wife, Rose, for their many years of service to the com­ munity and the Republican party. In the words of one speaker. "Mr. Silk has generated the type of love and respect that would be admired by any office holder". Present were the McHenry town­ ship board members and various county and state officials. Music Groups Present Concert The sounds of squeaks, squawks, and cymbal , crashes are once again blowing the doors open at Johnsburg Junior high.

Rather early to start preparing for Christmas, but not for a movie crew which is due in town Feb. 22 to filiff sequences for a Public Broadcasting System one-hour special television program to be aired at the end of the year as part of the American Playhouse series. "A Matter of Principle" starring actor Alan Arkin, will be filmed in the city square and preparations are under way for the movie making. About 35 local residents have been asked to work as "extras" on the film set and 10 older cars, pre-1972 in good condition, are being sought by the production company for the film, according to John Scharres, technical director at Woodstock Opera House. Scharres, on his own time, is helping coordinate local arrangements, with the art and caj&U&jg directors and location "PBS has a low budget and everyone is helping to cut corners on the cost of this production," Scharres said. "The production people are very impressed with Woodstock and ap­ preciate the support of the city, the chamber of commerce and the business community," Scharres said. He said the PBS film will be a "high quality" production using "quite a variety" of local people as extras. They include a few senior citizens, teenagers, young women with children and men. "Average people playing the roles of townsfolks," said Scharres. He said some local people are being hired to put up the Christmas decorations on Feb. 21 and take them down again on Feb. 23. The law offices of Hamer, Schuh and Baker on the southeast corner of the square will be transformed into a telephone office for the TV movie and some storefronts on the square's east side, between Jackson and Judd, along Benton St., will be filmed in addition to the park. Also featured in the film will be Arkin's wife, actress Barbara Dana, and son, Tony. The local extras, whose roles will be choreographed on the day of the filming, will receive a nominal $10 fee for the day and will probably get to share lunch with the actors, Scharres said. Open Concert Series Member Drive Feb. 13 Sunday evening, Feb. 13, the Community Concerts association of Crystal Lake will mark the opening of its ninth annual membership cam­ paign with a reception for campaign volunteers at Lakeside center. Over a hundred workers from all areas of McHenry county will gather to prepare for the three-week campaign and pick up membership kits. David Scherer, Community Con- Seek Weapon Used In Murder by Angela Burden Woodstock police are seeking the weapon used in the Jan. 28 slaying of 67-year-old Calista Barter and the attack on Julie Kim, 15, in their Madison street residence. Miss Kim has identified the type of weapon used by the attacker as a monkey wrench. But police have searched the neighborhood and even checked garbage in the area without success. Miss Kim is listed in good condition in St. Anthony hospital, Rockford, where she is guarded by police around the clock, according to Woodstock Police Chief William Patrick. "We're using a lot of manpower on this case," Patrick said. He said six officers have been working 24-hour duty at the scene of the crime and at the hospital. Patrick said police have released the Barter residence after getting all usable evidence from the home. Mrs. Barter, legally blind and an invalid, and Miss Kim, who had resided with the Barters for several years, were found brutally beaten in their residence at about 7 p.m. Jan. 28. Miss Kim reportedly struggled to call police before succumbing to un­ consciousness. certs president, has announced that brochures with information about the 1983-84 concert series have been mailed to the present membership in advance of the actual membership drive. ^ Heading the campaign in this part of the county are Rosemary Schneider, McHenry; Phil Zack, Wonder Lake; and Irene Borre, Rich­ mond. These Community Concerts board members will work with coordinator Marilyn Scherer and their helpers to spread the "Music Comes Alive!" theme to music lovers. The 1983-84 concert series offer a var­ ied program, including Constantine Orbelian, pianist, the Nevada Dance theatre, marimba virtuoso Linda Maxey, and the Opryland Nashville Music Express. Membership in Community Concerts includes ad­ mission to all four concerts, and no single admissions are available. A special feature of this year's cam­ paign is an invitation to new members to attend the final concert of the 1982- 83 season, a performance by Carlo Curley, organist, as guests of Com­ munity Concerts. The highlight of the kickoff event this Sunday evening will be the ap­ pearance of F&ye Seeman, harpist. A free-lance musician in the Chicago area, she recently had the privilege of performing on the WFMT DamVMvra Hess Memorial Concert series at the Chicago Public library, and will be giving several more recitals this season in the surrounding suburbs of Chicago.
