In the past the village has been using most of its MFT funds for snow IAKEMOOR FLOODING IN SCRUTINY (Continued from peg* 1) face drainage from farm fields, now located directly northeast. "It just gushes over Eastlake Drive for about a block," explained Hyatt. Culverts have collapsed over the years and drainage ditches have filled up. The village "doesn't have the equipment, or the manpower to dig ditches," said Mark Zeffery, the city's only fulltime public works employee. A cement spillway, which drains water from the lake, has raised over the years. As the lake level rises, the water backs up again oyer the neighborhoods, which is particularly serious during the high thaw season. Channels at the south end of the village back up and homes are sinking into the soil. The village plans some repair of the spillway, which was built in 1956. But it is yet uncertain about its ownership and easements. Klemm suggested several avenues that the group could pursue to start solving the flooding problem. --The village should find evidence that proves state ownership of the spillway, and of a channel located north of the village limits, which leads to Pistakee Lake. If the village can prove that the flooding is due, at least in part, by the level of the lake, the state may help solve the problem, possibly even through state grant. --The village may acquire farmland which is northeast of the present city limits, with plans of converting it into a village park. If it is take • over by the city, a holding pond and proper drainage could be installed on the site, thus eliminating some runoff into the neighborhood downhill from it. --Property north of the present city limits could possibly be cooperatively purchased by the village, county or state. Therefore, Lakemoor could save costs on ditch construction, which might pull off surface water into a channel, and then into Pistakee Lake. --As an alternative plan, check valves might be installed on the existing culverts, so that water cannot back off from the lake. --Other state grants may be available to the village for improvements of the roads or drainage. On a more short-term basis, Klemm suggested that the flooding could be at least reduced if the village make a survey of all the drainage ditches and culverts in the area and their condition; then clean, widen or repair them on a priority basis. Secondly, Klemm suggested the city reallocate some of its Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) funds, since the plowing, sweeping and "patching" the sidestreets, most of which have only a gravel overlay. "We're basically just moving the gravel from one hole to another," said Zeffery. "Last year we had to do patching three or four times, because of the moisture the roads hold. This year when we did the first patching, it lasted only a few hours. If s a waste of money." Klemm said*the village may legally use MFT funds for improving drainage alora roadways. Soggy, wet bases deteriorate roads. I suggest you start looking into reallocating for drainage (fitches, and tiles and try to maintain roads at a minimum standard" As a last resort, an additional road improvement tax could be imposed on the residents, Klemm suggested. But Hyatt explained that it was neither possible, nor recommended. "Our levy is at the maximum now," stated Hyatt. "I cannot feasibly raise taxes. Most of our residents are elderly or young couples. They don't have an extra buck." FORMER McHENRY PASTOR, MARIAN HEAD DIES AT 73 (Continued from pago 1) retirement home at Vianney Oaks, Rockford.

McHenry Area MOD Dies Near Home T- A 39-year-old McHenry area man, James Winiarski, 1316 Oeffling, McHenry, died Monday afternoon outside his home. Deputy Coroner Bruce Adams said the death was strictly medical, noting that Winiarski had had a heart condition for the last five years. Dep. J. Stafford, of the McHenry County Sheriff's Police, was on patrol and heard a call for help. He stopped and attempted to help Winiarski until Johnsburg Rescue arrived to take over the call.

Alert Drivers To School Children With the opening of the new school year, McHenry County Sheriff Henry "Hank" Nulle urged motorists to be alert for children walking to and from school and the school buses picking up or dropping off children. The sheriff noted that state law requires a motorist to stop his vehicle when a bus has stopped on a road to pick up or unload children. The bus must have the proper visual signals activated and the motorist is not permitted to proceed until either the visual signals (flashing lights and stop arm) are discontinued or the driver is waved on by the bus driver. The penalty for violation is a 30- day suspension of the driver's license.

The property is located in Nunda Township on the east side of State Route 31, about 1,350 feet south of the intersection of Bull Valley Road and Route 31 and consists of ap­ proximately six acres. The hearing on this petition will be held Sept. 1 at 2 p.m., in Room 203 of the McHenry County Courthouse, 2200 North Seminary Avehue, Woodstock. All interested persons may appear and be hgard. Guilty Homicide Verdict Barry Gruner was found guilty Friday afternoon in McHenry County court for reckless homicide in connection with the auto accident that killed 24-year-old Ricky W. Geren of Crystal Lake. The jury deliberated for about an hour and 15 minutes before retur­ ning the guilty verdict, at about 3 p.m. in the Circuit courtroom of Judge Leonard Brody. Gruner could face one to four years in state prison, according to assistant state's at­ torney Gail Moreland, who prosecuted Gruner. Ms. Moreland asked that Gruner be remanded into custody, but Brody allowed Gruner to remain free on bond , until sentencing, scheduled for Nov. 9. Gruner was charged with reckless homicide after the April 9 collision between his car and one driven by Geren, on Route 14 in Cary. Moreland's case centered on testimony of Cary policemen who testified Gruner was intoxicated, and on that of a Fox River Grove liceman who administered a reathalyzer test on Gruner, on which his blood-alcohol registered .15.

Of those 18,000 work "any given day," he said. Their responsibilities were shared among 9,000 people in management, Dunlap said. Dunlap acknowledged he spent half his time during the strike working in the billing and toll offices and local test board, which deter­ mines the severity' of repair requests.
