In that year, the facilities on Green Street became too small, therefore, it was divided into two separate businesses. A new 8000 sq. ft. building went up at 3309 Waukegan Road, known as Carey Electric Contracting, Inc., managed by Richard (Dick) Carey. The business on Green Street then became known as Carey Appliance, Inc. Mr. Carey retired in 1963. At that time two employees, Don Weingart, of McHenry, and George Erber, Jr. of Woodstock, took over the appliance business. After 13 more years George Erber, Jr. sold his interest to Bob Smith & Pete Kasper. Since that time, Carey Appliance, Inc. and McGee's Clothing Store, now the Blue Camel, acquired the Palace Recreation as they ex­ panded for more display area. Carey Ap­ pliance, Inc. now has six full-time employees. Over the years, Carey Appliance, Inc. has broadened their merchandise selection to in­ clude not only General Electric, but Amana.

Ap­ proximately 82 words of the intended 200-word list were given. Miss Stumpf won on the word 'phenomenon'. The potential for damage when a "visible" thief strikes a business is high, but it is the "invisible" invader who makes the best use of an opportunity- an unprotected business. Prevention is the name of the game and the McHenry Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a prevention program for businesses, to be held by the McHenry Police department. The concern of needed landfill sites in the county was raised once again at the McHenry County board meeting.

A McHenry Community high school graduate of 1921, who went on to become head of one of the country's largest educational corporations, has been named MCHS Distinguished Graduate of 1983.

The McHenry Area Jaycee Women are developing a new educational program on Infant Car Seat Safety. According to a new law, effective next July 1, children under the age of 2 will be required to be properly restrained in car seats.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD just below the normal summer level. * The McHenry City Council voted to set forth more restrictive park department policies, determining just who may play league sports and how often they may play, on city park facilities. By a 7-1 vote, the council now requires that not less than 80 percent of players of all league teams using McHenry park facilities must come from within either McHenry or Johnsburg school district boundaries. Representatives of a Wood­ stock investment firm ad­ dressed the McHenry City Council concerning a plan for the development of McHenry Lakes Estates subdivision. The group is planning to continue the development of the subdivision, the former Jacob Freund farm south of McCullom Lake road, in conjuction with Elgin Federal Savings and I^oan, the title holder. A definite increase in John­ sburg high school enrollment next Fall will cause changes, both in status and architecture, at the five-year-old school. The actual numbers on hand indicate a 732-student enrollment compared to 675 in 1982-83. An influx of freshman students will partly account for the increase. For the first time since 1959, the federal tax on a gallon of motor fuel increased from 4 cents to nine cents, April 1 in Illinois and across the United States. The federal action is in response to an alarming deterioration in the nation's roads, bridges, and mass transit systems. M. David Cain, president of the McHenry hospital (Northern Illinois Medical Center) board of directors, announced that Nora C. O'Malley has been named executive director. Setting a record in its tenth anniversary year, crowds estimated at between 14,000 and 16,000 visited the McHenry Trade Fair from the time doors opened until closing.

The subject was housing and health care issues as affected by decreasing funding from both state and federal sources. Following the trend of Chicago, McHenry city and nearby village elections brought large crowds to the polls. By action of voters in four city wards, McHenry will have three new aldermen who will be sworn ' in at a special meeting April 25. Only William Busse will return to the council post in the second ward, which he holds through apointment. Frank McClatchey and Gary Snell will join the council as representatives of Wards 3 and 4 respectively. William Bolger, a veteran in the local political field, returns to serve the residents of Ward 1 after an absence of several years. The proposal to expand the McHenry-Nunda public Library district won within the present district, but was soundly defeated in the outlying area which would have been annexed. In the Johnsburg community, the vote was for an expression of public opinion on a proposal to establish a public library district to be known as the Johnsburg Public Library distirct. The large vote outside the municipality defeated the issue. The McHenry City Council voted to ease the 80 percent residency requirement imosed on any leagues using McHenry park facilities. Sixty-two years after he closed the doors of McHenry High School behind him for the last time, Howard V. Phalin returned to be honored for a distinguished career. A plaque was presented to Phalin as the 1983 choice for the Distinguished Graduate award. The Sunnyside village board of trustees resolved a dispute over candidacy qualifications in favor of two write-in candidates who were incumbent trustees. In a resolution, adopted with one dissenting vote by Trustee William S. Sandell, the board declared Andrew Eichhorn and Gregory Nowak along with Lillian Pomonis elected and qualified for four-year terms on the village board. Three months of cutting, pairing and arguing led to the City Council's approval of the 1983-84 control budget for the City of McHenry. The number one source of income for the city, the sales tax, had not grown in the same degree it had in the past. Likewise, the slump in the construction industry has had a direct negative impact on building permit revenues. The District 156 belt became several notches tighter April 19 by adopting a $74,000 cost reduction program at McHenry's high schools. The list of 20 cost cuts results from expectations of lower revenues and less state aid in 1983-84. (815)385-5500 1241 N.
