The Sunrise , Ridge ; Homeowners Association board decided to build a pavilion for their annual picnic after deciding it would be in the best interest of the association to have a permanent shelter rather than rent a tent every year. Association President Mae Gaddis said proceeds from the residents. The cost would not exceed $2,500, she said. Gaddis said the association board filed for and received a building pertoiit with Scott Lennon, Wonder Lake village building inspector! but was notified two hours |later that Zeman revoked the - Zeman said the because the propo non-conforming, mi rmit. iation, building is t fi|e for a conditional use permit with the vfflage board, which must then refer the proposal to the village's zoning board of appeals (ZBA). i* < "If they want to build, they must first send a letter asking for it {the proposal) to be placed on our agenda. The board will review the plan and it will go to the village's ZBA," Zeman explained. The Association, she added, must pay $350 and hold a public hearing within 60 days on the proposals The village board will act on the ZBA recom­ mendation following the hearing. "They can't do a thing until all the procedures of our zoning ordinance are completed," Zeman said. "I think she (Gaddis) has grossly misused her position. She should have contacted members of the association, which I am one, and asked for our input. She just went ahead and did it without By Marion Olsen D|«I|u|*»1A|i Il^f »l/l hT>i«i> ---- -i -- -- rfainacaifr nerua incws service District 15 administrators appear to enjoy their "good news" reports as much as the school board members who hear them at the monthly board meetings. Principal Oscar Sola of McHenry Junior High shared the news of the winning year of the school's wrestling team by brining along all the trophies. Praising Coach Don Marche's leadership and noting the at­ trition rate of some wrestling teams, he commended this year's team "who stuck with it" "We were undefeated in the Conference Dual Meet this >year," accounting for one plaque. "We were the Fox Valley Conference champs," holding up a second plaque. "And we won the regionals in Johnsburg." He said 10 of the boys went to the state finals where they took 15th place. "But our greatest win was against our sister school (Parkland Junior High)" and he brandished the "traveling trophy," a shiny, Trojan- decorated scrub bucket. "We will keep the bucket for one year,1' he said. He also noted that Parkland's wrestling team came in 13th in the state com­ petition. A reception to honor the athletes has been planned, complete with medals and food, he added. Dan DeRoche, assistant district superintendent and principal at Landmark School, approached his good news report in a similarly jubilant way. "At our grade level (kindergarten and first grade) it's not good news, it's show and tell," he said. DeRoche went on to describe "Old Fashioned Days," an annual event in which students this year adopted a "School in days gone by" theme. Students ~ dressed in shawls and old time garb. This year's guests in­ cluded a regular visitor, Earl Walsh, and Instructor Glenna House's mother. Another guest spun wool on an old spinning wheel. Donated-for-the occasion antiques and artifacts were displayed for the students' learning experience. In a second project, students built an igloo from empty plastic milk containers. A "treat" was / to gpend a period of time in the igloo, he said. "The children were so proud, you'd think they had just completed the Taj Mahal," he added. Photos and an album of the events were shown to the board members and audience. In further good news, Dr. Richard Farmer, school superintendent, announced an Honors Banquet, May 29, to acknowledge teachers with 20 or 30 years of service. * • - - * East band concert Shown above are members of the McHenry East Campus Concert Band, rehearsing for the 7:30 p.m., Thursday, May 2 spring concert.

Association does not have the responsibility of having m^ftibers vote on the proposal. "As a board, we have the position to improve our recreational facilities as long as funds are available. We don't need a vote. That is in the bylaws," Gaddis contended. "We„had hoped to get going on the project, pouring the concrete and putting in drinking foun­ tains this weekend and doing the carpentry the following weekend. We had the con­ tractors and water utility people all set and we had the volunteers ready to go," she said. The association wanted the project completed in two weekends before children were out of school so they would not have to leave an' unfinished : structure while children are around, Gaddis said. "We also spoke to our insurance agent, who told us our liability will actually go down, if we build the pavilion." she said. Gaddis said she is puzzled by the turn of events, but she can understand the village's position1^ of wanting to follow the law. "The village is the association, and the association is the village. We're the same people. There's a village ordinance stating they'll do everything to cooperate to * further the association. We were under the impression we'd get the permit for free," She said. If the process is not expedited, the project will probably have to be put off until next summer. "We're not going to build in the middle of the summer while children are around. If we can't get going, we'll have lost another summer," Gaddis said. McHenry hears from director of Certified Cities Program Bob Glatz, director of the Certified Cities Program for the Illinois Department of Com­ merce and Community Affairs, was the guest at a recent meeting of the Certified Cities Steering Committee. r Glatz was invited by the committee to attend the meeting of the combined Steering Committee members and the Category Coordinators in order that they each may get a fuller "understanding , of the requirements of the Certified Cities program. In his opening remarks, Glatz stated, "if spirit and enthusiasm were the criteria for cer­ tification, I can assure you that McHenry . would qualify im­ mediately." Glatz complimented the marketing tools of the McHenry Area and spoke how well they reflected tthe coordination of the community. Glatz's responsibility is to disseminate each of the categories to the evaluators in their specialized fields. When the entire presentation of a community comes into the Certified Cities Department of DCCA, each of the component categories is evaluated in­ dependently, and up[on ac­ ceptance by the * judging specialist, it is returned to Glatz's office where it is judged as a whole. Should any category be judged .incomplete or inadequate, it is returned to the city with a request for additional information or the remedying of an unacceptable condition. The Certified Cities Program is "not a pass-fail situation" stated Glatz, "but rather a situation where we continue to work with you until * all categories are satisfactory and certification catirbe granted. It is our intent to assist the com­ munity to achieve this designation of certification. /Once they have gone into the process, they are close enough . to achieve certification with little additional effort, providing/ ' Cc d in the pr there is not a voi< facilities." During the breakfast meeting, Glatz answered numerous questions from members of the Steering Committee and the Category Coordinators, and stated that he look forward to the team visit that follows the acceptance of the written presentation of a city. Glatz recommends that the team visit should be approached as one for a prospective industrialist to the community, featuring the highlights of community life. A brief tour of the Northern Illinois Medical Center and the City of McHenry were included in Glatz's visit. The mission statement of the cHenry Certified Cities '^Committee is, "To attain a professional recognized level of fi market achievement in all areas that are important to overall economic .and cultural development Dy having the City of - McHenry certified as ex­ celling in business and recreational climate and ser­ vices, community development, nt and training, assistance and capabilities." Deadline for information coming from each category coordinator of the commission is May 15. A special committee consisting of Mayor William J. Busse, EDC Director William J. Bolger, City Clerk Barbara E. Gilpin, Chairman and Chamber Executive Director Fran Olsen, and Kathy Loehr of NIMC will preview the information before it is forwarded to the narrative writers at McHenry County College, Jim Sailors and Jim Gray. from the community is possible, and. should be directed to Anne at 385-8500, between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Input still po 6 PACK CANS $199 McHENRY DRUG SALE MAY 1-MAY 6 MH.TI TO I SAT.
