f HOMEOWNERS (Continued from page l) candidates used the small-town line of 'representing the will of the people' without dealing with specifics." McGuire said he found that voters in the village of Wonder Lake were interested in the Homeowners Party's promise of publicly stating the ' voting records of the trustees. Hank Sugden, a former assistant state's attorney for McHenry County and now in private practice, agreed, saying the Homeowners Party con­ centrated on what they would do rather than who they are. "I thjnk the other candidates went out and talked about who they are and how many years they have lived in the village. We briefly mentioned who we are but concentrated on the specific issues," Sugden said. The specific issues the Homeowners Party ran on were the elimination of R-2 and R-3 zoning from the village or­ dinance, preventing the building of multiple-unit dwellings in the village without amending the ordinance. "We want this to remain a single-family housing "area," Janecke said. "We don't feel that multiple-family housing would be of any benefit to the area. And of course, we'd run into the cost of taxes being raised to pay increased police protection, sewer costs and road expenses." Upgrading police protection by allocating police hours during times of high crime is another priority issue, ac­ cording to McGuire. "With summer coming up, we will make sure police hours coincide with times when more incidences of crime are likely to occur," McGuire said. The Homeowners Party also promised to forfeit their $10-per- meeting trustee stipend and use the money to publish a brief monthly news letter outlining * action taken by the board and an account of the voting and issues to be discussed at future meetings. McGuire said he hopes . to implement the newsletter as soon as possible. Sugden attributed much of the success of the Homeowners Party to the various community meetings held by the candidates to discuss issues during the campaign and McGuire's campaign organization. "Dan and his wife did a great job of putting things together. We were very organized," Sugden said. Janecke said that the Homeowner's Party was formed after a 1984 petition against multiple-family housing was circulated. Janecke said the village board failed to act on the signed petition, so the four Homeowners got together "to remove -the muliple-family housing in the ordinance R2 and R3." The four independent can­ didates defeated were Scar- brough, Mae Gaddis, Jaunita Seabaugh and Frank Bruchsaler. The new board of trustees will be seated at the next regular meeting of the board of trustees on April 9 at 7:30 p.m. at Greenwood School. was up INCUMBEN (Continued from page 1) positions, assuring that at least one of the Independents would take a seat. Schaefer against tougher odds. " "They (the Township trustees) are trying to write me off, but they spent a lot of money*" Schaefer said. "I was the only candidate running against them and they had a fundraiser and were carting people to the polls." Tney can sat back smuggly now," she added. "But I think they're going to see people supporting a two-party system more and more." Although Schaefer did not win a seat on the Township Board this year, the defeat did not discourage her enough to cause her to lose her drive or en­ thusiasm. "We may have lost the election, but by no means are we to stick our heads in the " she said. "I'm certainly not. I'm involved in many dif­ ferent things and I don't plan on stopping at this point because of one loss." Other McHenry Township winners who ran unopposed were: Albert Adams, super­ visor; Thomas Birmingham, clerk; Theodore Pitzen, assessor and John Regner, high­ way commissioner.
