BEAUTIFICATION OF CITY PROGRESSES (Continued from pas* 1) light work, M.B.C. this year enlisted the help of McHenry Women's club, Hospital auxiliary, Fox Ridge Women's club, Telephone Pioneers, McHenry Garden club, Business and Professional Women's club and the newly formed high school Key club as well as a handful of individuals to plant and tend nature's beauty bonuses. The financial support of the work is maintained solely by the generosity of businesses and in­ dividuals through donations. Captured by the Plaindealer's roving photographer and appearing elsewhere in this issue, are a few of the places and plantings of M.B.C. Two large planters at the corner of Main and Crystal Lake road are kept weed-free by the Fox Ridge Women's club. A row of planters at the Elm street entrance to Whispering Oaks is given care by the Key club. A new addition being installed at Green and Waukegan is a fountain. A row of geraniums graces the Boone creek bridge on Green street. Most fragrant of all are the roses tended by Paul Brefeld. WORK FOR NEW CLEANUP ORDINANCE fContinued from pago 1) The resident claims he or she does not own the cats but merely feeds them. City Clerk Barbara Gilpin explained that the number of dogs that may be kept is regulated by ordinance, but not the number of cats. City Attorney Bernard Narusis was directed to find any model ordinances which may apply. Narusis commented that any or­ dinance regarding thisxssue may be frustrating to enforce because it is FRIDAY, JULY 8.1983 timistic about receiving a grant for parking improvements at the Chicago and North Western station on Main street. --In other grant matters, notification is expected today ( July 8) concerning the Pioneer center and Green street sewer line grants from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Ccffhmunity Affairs. The EPA approval of the grant application for a south sewer plant is running into trouble meeting "innovative and alternative" requirements, Stanek said. --At the requests of Aldermen Cecilia Serritella (4th) and Bolger, the city will address weed problems in Lakeland Park and McHenry Shores. --Bolger also suggested that the liquor ordinance be changed regar­ ding hours of tavern operation so that liquor may not be sold on Sunday mornings. Bolger said he felt strongly on this matter, especially in light of the death of Janet Cody, who was killed in a traffic accident while on her way to church. The current ordinance allows taverns to open at 6 a.m. Sunday. --The council approved the issuance of a Class B (package beer and wine) license to Jewel Foods. The license will allow beer and wine to be checked out through Jewel's registers. --The purchase of speaker system improvements at the Pearl Street park was approved. The two speakers and a booster will cost $1,172.88. --The council denied a request for increased contribution to the musicians' union, which pays musicians for the city band concerts. The union requested that the city pay 50 percent of the cost of the concert. The council decided to keep the contribution at 35.5 percent, $240 per concert. --The council approved a resolution to use $15,869 of Motor Fuel Tax(MF- T) money for Bull Valley road in­ termittent paving work. The money will cover the city's 25 percent share of the cost of the project and engineering fees. --Public hearing concerning the Appropriation ordinance was rescheduled to July 18 at 7:45 p.m. in the council chambers. --The council okayed partial payment in the amount of $40,000 to International Piping for installation of the centrifuge at the sewage treat­ ment plant. --The council concurred in the mayoral appointments of Philip Coatar, 917 Oakwood, McHenry, and Marlene Griffith, 5011 Sandburg, McHenry, to the library board.

With some embarrassment we picked up the check containing a discount. Like all other unpleasantries of life, we are told the first experience in the process of age acceptance is the most distasteful. In the future we will acknowledge the inevitable. KAF SHIFT IN y MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAM PRIORITIES (Continued from page 1) Smith explained. Smith noted that Pat Barger, a DMH official, is scheduled (after several earlier postponements) to meet with the local mental health board Wednesday, July 6, and he urged full attendance to make their views known. The 708 board, in an attempt to alleviate cash flow problems for local agencies which- are funded through 708, approved a finance committee recommendation to effect a two- month catch-up on local board ap­ proved voucher payments.Bob Schneider, 708 board president, ex­ plained that the practice in the past was to approve payments for the past month at the regular meeting. A recent board change of meeting date to the fourth Tuesday of each month means that they are, in effect, lagging in disbursements by two months. The state is also paying late because of cash flow problems, forcing the agencies to borrow money to maintain payrolls as their reserves are exhausted. Schneider said that taxes are now being collected and distributed by the county and the 708 board should have ample funds to make this change. The board approval contained the provision to reconsider the payment procedure should the board also be faced with borrowing. Schneider reminded members however, that the 708 board as a government bodv can borrow at a more favorable rate than the local mental health agencies, which are considered private organizations for loan purposes. The board also okayed the timely disbursing in $5,000 increments of funds accumulated in the Employees Assistance Program(EAP) to the contractor who is soliciting for and operating the program for the in­ dustrial firms participating. The program is designed to identify and treat problems of employees of these firms that would affect their work and productivity. - Smith reported that funds or pledges had exceeded $53,000 for the current year. Court Rules For Officer by Angela Burden iw Media Ni Shaw Media News Service A small claims court ruled in favor of the Lawrence Holder estate and has. ordered the Illinois Police Association (EPA) to pay the full death benefit to. the estate. Holder, an Algonquin police officer, died last summer during a rescue attempt when he lost his footing and was swept into a flooded creek following a heavy rainstorm. Full death benefits for Holder were denied by the IPA, in which members are entitled to a $600 or $2,000 benefit, depending on the circumstances of their death. According to IPA bylaws, the $2,000 is awarded when death is ruled as "violent resistance" such as being shot, stabbed or beaten in the line of duty. The IPA death benefit committee ruled in September the cause of Holder's death did not meet the criteria for the $2,000 award and agreed on a $600 benefit for the of­ ficer's estate. In January, lawyer Randal Baudin filed suitdn behalf of the Holder estate in the smkii claims court of 19th Judicial Circuit, seeking the $2,000 benefit from IPA, citing a breach of contract. Baudin claimed the rushing waters of Crystal Creek constituted "violent resistance" to Holder when he waded into the rain-swollen creek during the July 22, 1982, rescue attempt. Judge Conrad Floeter last week ordered the IPA to pay the full $2,000 benefit after denying the IPA's motion to dismiss the suit. Ticket Drivers In Crashes A Wonder Lake man was charged with driving under the influence and driving too fast for conditions following a one-vehicle accident near the intersection of Route 14 and Smitana road last weekend. Kerry L. Christenson, 8701 Ramble road, Wonder Lake, was charged after the vehicle he was driving crashed into a guardrail. Christenson told county police he lost control of the vehicle in a curve on westbound Route 14. The car was totaled. Margaret L. Watson, 5091 Belding, Rockford, was ticketed for failure to yield the right-of-way after the car she was driving struck another auto in the 3700 block of Elm street. The driver of the other car, Pamela Cooper, 4209 Ponca, McHenry, told city police she was heading west on Elm street when the Watson auto crossed her lane of travel. No injuries were reported. No citations were issued following a two-car collision on E. Wonder Lake road last Saturday. Lock, Dam Future With Governor The General Assembly has ap­ proved legislation bringing the McHenry lock and dam one step closer to remaining open for recreational purposes. The legislation, sponsored by state Rep. Dick Klemm (R-Crystal Lake) and Sen. Jack Schaffer (R-Crystal Lake), now goes to the governor for his signature. « * Senate Bill 1056 allows the revenues from the Boating Act fund to be used to keep the lock and dam in operation. The locks are currently funded from General Revenue funds. Qnnfhpr ^ that surplv WP u/prp that »0P t -v another. In other business : --Mayor Stanek said he was op- that surely we were that age. Lying doesn't come easy but we will admit to being tempted. Suddenly, "McHenry lock and dam operations Klemm said. "And because the locks "Nothing astonishes men so much are funded through declining General as common sense and plain dealing." Revenue funds, its operations are Ruth C. Kinzie, 4215 E. Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, told McHenry County Sheriff's police she was driving north and stopped to make left turn with the signal ac­ tivated. John J. Dreyzehner, 2530 Donald court, Glenview, was also heading north and said the Kinzie vehicle slowed suddenly without signalling a turn. He applied the brakes but could not avoid the collision. In a similar collision, Marianne Berman, 6410 Roundup, McHenry, had slowed to make a left turn when her car was struck in the rear. The driver of the other car, Clarence Regner, 2713 Regner road, McHenry, told county police he thought the Berman auto had broken down and was about to pass when it started a left turn. Regner applied the brakes but the car skidded on the wet pavement. No citations were issued. threatened. This bill applies some of the boating fees toward the lock and dam to help keep it open." Klemm said that he and Sen. Schaffer, who introduced the legislation in the Senate, talked with , officials from the Departments of Transportation and Conservation about alternative funding for the recreational area when they became aware that funds would be reduced. "Both the Transportation depart­ ment and the Conservation depart­ ment are happy with this solution," Schaffer said. "It frees General Revenue funds that can now be used for road repair, and applies monies from the Boating fund to the operation of a recreational boating area." Without additional money, the lock and dam would be operated only by 1 ^1 the> feck/ master. An other employees would be laid off. Schaffer explained, "One lock- master can't handle all the recreational boating traffic, and so that would have to be cut back. We didn't want to lose the recreational opportunities afforded by the McHenry lock and dam." Arrest In Little John Burglary A 24-year-old McHenry man was arrested and charged with burglary following a break-in at Little John's restaurant, 1211 N. River road, McHenry, early Wednesday morning. Lt. Robert Kranz, of the McHenry Police department, said three McHenry police officers were dispatched at 3:24«a.m. Wednesday to the scene when county police asked for assistance. The officers secured the exits until county police deputies arrived to search the building. County police said a man was found hiding behind a door on the second floor of the building with $17 in change, reportedly taken from a register downstairs. Dep. Dooley, McHenry County Sheriff's Police, arrested Raymond Stammers, 24, 316 North Boulevard, McHenry, and charged him with burglary, theft under $300 and criminal damage to property under $300. In other incidents, McHenry police are investigating a shooting that allegedly took place in Lakeland park. McHenry police were called to the emergency room of McHenry hospital where Dennis J. Karaskiewicz, 33, 1614 Pleasant, McHenry, was being treated for a small caliber gunshot wound to the right arm. The matter is under investigation. County police arrested Gordon Lawson, 29, and Douglas Lawson, 24, on charges of battery. The complainant, Eric Wyatt, 21, 2600 Wright road, McHenry, told police he had been evicted from his home and returned to retrieve an auto, when the Lawsons struck him several times. Wyatt was taken to McHenry hospital by the Nunda Rescue squad for treatment of facial injuries. Scott Ceithaml, 22, 3413 Gracy, McHenry, was charged by county police with driving on a suspended license and speeding following a traffic stop on Route 31. A report of a car in Lily Lake brought county police to the private beach in the 300 block of Route 120, where indeed a car was in the lake. The vehicle's owner, Raymond Shaughnessy, 528 N. Lily Lake Road, McHenry, said the car had been parked on an incline near the water. It is suspected that someone released the parking brake, allowing the car to roll into the lake.
