Hence, there are accidents with motor vehicles. A number of deer have been involved in collisions with vehicles during the past week on McHenry County roadways, and drivers are urged to beware of the slower animals crossing the roads in the next few weeks. The majority of the deer killed and iitfured recently have been does, according to Ken Fiske, executive director of McHenry County Conservation District. "The does are ready to birth, they are heavy and not as as they think they are." Their speed and agility isn't there," he said. Fiske said the highest doe kill on the highways occurs during April. "They are slower than usual right now, and drivers should be aware that the deer can't move as fast," he added. A deer was struck by a car Thursday evening on Fleming Road, Woodstock, when it jumped in front of the vehicle. Another deer was struck on Route 120 near Wonder Lake Road. ~ Deer were also reportedly struck by vehicles in Algonquin, Nunda, McHenry and Hartland townships in recent days, ac­ cording to McHenry County sheriff's police reports.

"Airports naturally attract business and industry," Jim Marinangel, a McHenry businessman who is a member of the present county-wide airport study committee, said. "A properly located airport offers the businessman the ability to reach customers and the marketplace outside his immediate territory in the shortest possible time." Pam Hopp of Lake in the Hills believes economic development in McHenry County hinges on an airport, whether o#tottbMhe county or another governmental body. More firms now have their own aircraft, she explained. "I believe a firm would consider locating"* near that facility because of that availability." Marinangel said the one-hour drive to O'Hare Airport, plus time required to allow for traffic and unforeseen developments, is discouraging to a businessman who would like to locate in McHenry County but needs the use of an airplane. "The one-and-one-half hours a 1 person could save by not having to go to O'Hare is enough for him to travel 200 to 400 miles by air and be on the ground ready for business. If he intends to make more than one stop, he saves another one-and-one-half to two hours of wasted time by clim­ bing into his own plane without having to worry about schedules, delays or backups." Gehardt Klutke, who owns a business in Crystal Lake, is so dependent on last. service, he plans to construct an airstrip. "We have 55 employees and are experiencing 30 percent growth a year. In five or six years, we must move because we must be near an airport to subsist," he said. "We are in a servicing business and serve some of the country's major companies. In 10-15 years, we may have 150-200 employees. We need an airport, and I think many companies are in a comparable predicament. They're growing, and, without proper airport facilities, they must move out. DuPage County Airport is typical of the type we'll consider when the time to move comes for us." Richard Doss, a Harvard insurance man, speaks of the difficulties that community faces without an adequate airport with all-weather run­ ways and other services. "We had a large firm look at a site in Harvard. They wanted 20,000 square feet and woukLhirt SO.. employees to start. After a two- hour ride from O'Hare to look us over, they never came back. Availability of airport facilities has a bearing on where to locate a plant. "All citizens share in the need, whether directly involved with an airplane or not, since businesses helped provide jobs. Without industrial growth McHenry County will become a bedroom community," he warned. "Taxes will go up without an adequate economic base. Broadened industry is needed " E.E. "Buck" ffilbert of Union, an early airmail pilot now retired from United Airlines says, "We need a county air­ port -- self-supporting, of course, with professional management, schooled and experienced in airport management. With proper planning, it could be a business and even a social hub within the county. "It would provide services lor transportation, education and emergencies," he added. The county's Airport Feasibility Study Committee is now waiting for further reports on the research being conducted : by Ralph H. Burke Inc., airport* consultants. » ADVISORY Thomas B.
