MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from pagy? 1) from the second and fourth wards, but callers were patient. They viftere considerate in making their calls brief, and seemed genuinely grateful for the service provided. A few even touched on other matters, like the request for a Helping Paws phone number. Now and then, when issue after issue hits the street and the processes started over and over again, one wonders how much service a hometown newspaper really provides. And then comes something like an election night and the bond of togetherness resulting from a common interest tells the story. It occurs to us that elections are a paradox in that people of distinctly different attitudes toward candidates and issues are brought together in a common activity when the polls close. There's a feeling of unity in facing a matter, of im­ portance where uncertainty exists. Other times are moments of impending tragedy that cause fear, and historic occasions such as the Bicentennial year that inspire sentimental feelings. This week it was a city election, and the voices that brought questions via phone were a source of pleasure to us. We remember other election nights, but the memory of more than 700 calls in a three-hour period this week is one we will fondly recall to share with friends as the election of 1977 is talked about in the years ahead More on the election next week. KAF VALLEY RESIDENTS ASK INCORPORATION (Continued from page 1) Cherry Valley road as its easterly boundary, and the land includes portions of Cherry Valley road running south from Bull Valley road. Valley Hill road, which in­ tersects Bull Valley road, is also included in the in­ corporated area, using Ridge road as its northerly boun- ~~ Chester Gould home the southerly boundar It is anticipated that after the judge gives his approval, a referendum will be held sometime between sixty and ninety days. "The referendum for in­ corporation must be passed by a simple majority," explained Hamilton O. Hale, secretary of the Bull Valley association. Hale explained that the main purpose of incorporation is to have some control over zoning in the area. He recognizes that there are some disadvantages, such as needing a police department, but feels that self- determination for the area is very important. Presently, Bull Valley is subject only to county zoning, if you have to work on weekends, then MONDAY NITE IS SATURDAY FOR WEEKEND WORKERS ONLY...A NITE OF SPECIAL PRICES, FREE DANCE LESSONS, NIBBLIES, AND FUN!

An association is not a legal body. "By us taking a municipal corporate form, we become a legal voting body," he added. There is always the chance that the voters would turn down the referendum But, as Hale explains, "We have made every effort to determine a favorable opinion toward in­ corporation." Holiday Hills, southeast of McHenry, is one of the latest areas to incorporate, and the homeowners there are having problems getting their roads repaired. True, an incorporated area becomes eligible for federal funding. But as Holiday Hills found out, in order to receive federal or state funds, the municipality has to come up with a portion of the total funding themselves. In the case of Holiday Hills, the homeowners haven't been able to come up with their portion of funding. Bull Valley may face similar problems. ADAMS BLASTS ZONING BOARD (Continued from page 1) "One member of the Zoning board became so hostile toward the petitioners' attorney (John Looze, representing Pintozzi and Buss), that I consider his conduct unbecoming a Zoning board member." Adams concluded his letter by stating that, "I consider myself no longer compatible with the Zoning Board of Ap­ peals' other members as they are now constituted. I further consider the board to be more of a Consumer Action com­ mittee than a Zoning board. As the last McHenry businessman and native on this board, I regretfully tender my resignation effective im­ mediately." The rezoning of this par­ ticular piece of property has become a heated issue in the City Council. At the April 4 Council meeting, Aldermen Walther Schaedel, James Wegener, Edward Datz, and Raymond Smith outvoted George Harker, William Bolger, and Pepping, and succeeded in delaying any action on the rezoning until May 2, after the city elections. . The decision came despite a roomful. :of residents from Edgebrook Heights who were objecting to the rezoning. Monday night, Pepping, who was an objector at the Zoning board hearing, commented on two points of Adams' letter. The first concerned the statement that Pepping's ac­ tion as an objector, while refusing to give up his vote on the Council when the matter comes up, was unethical. "As things developed, I won't be in a position to vote when the matter comes before the Council anyway," Pepping said. Pepping did not seek reelection as an alderman, and Monday night was his last full meeting as a Council member. Pepping then asked City Attorney Bernard Narusis for his opinion concerning the "ethics" of the alderman not disqualifying himself in any vote which could have taken place. "There is nothing in the law precluding you from par­ ticipating in the hearing as an objector," Narusis stated. Pepping's other comments concerned Adams' statement that the Zoning board is anti- business. "I believe the Zoning board recommendation on the Pin­ tozzi and Buss request is only the second anti-commercial interest recommendation in the four years I have been an alderman," he said. Whatever comments Pepping had were really mute, for he will not be a member of the City Council when the Buss and Pintozzi request is voted on May 2. With the letter of resignation being read, it was a bit ironic that the City Council Monday night acted favorably on a Zoning board recommendation that will allow William C. Richards and his wife, Vivian, to build a duplex at 807 N. Lillian street in McHenry. The Zoning board, minus Adams, voted unanimously April 1 to approve the change. Presently, the land is zoned R-2, and the Council Monday granted a variation of R-2 allowing the construction of the duplex. There were no objectors appearing at either the Zoning board hearing or at Monday's City Council meeting con­ cerning the zoning change. In other action Monday, the City Council decided to hire eighteen part-time employees for the summer months to work under Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer. Roughly one-half of the persons hired had previous experience working for the city. The aldermen and mayor did not revue applications. In other action, the Council gave final approval to Boone Valley, Plat No. 11. The Residential Development group, represented by Willis Martin and Jim Burg, ap­ peared before the Council requesting final approval. The Council had given ten­ tative approval to the eight- building, thirty-two unit complex, several months ago. The new plat is an addition to the Water's Edge con­ dominiums. The Council also unanimously approved a resolution supporting a House bill which would impose an additional tax on bottles and cans--a tax that would be refunded upon the einpty containers being .returned to the store. The bill is similar to an anti­ pollution bill in operation in Oregon. Narusis presented the aldermen with copies of a complete breakdown of legal expenses incurred in the at­ tempt by the city to close Jake's Dead End lounge on Rt. 120. ' , The legal bill through Jan. 5, 1977, comes to $2,353. " Ad* ditional costs have been in­ curred due to payments to witnesses, overtime payment to police officers, etc. The Council also unanimously approved two tag day requests for the month of June. June 10 will be Salvation Army Donut day, and June 18 will be Helping Paws Tag day. Finally, bids for new police cars will be opened this Friday at 5 p.m. at city hall All car dealers in the city were invited to bid. Several aldermen have expressed displeasure with the amount of maintenance required to keep the present make of car, Mercury, in operating con­ dition. "FAST" TIME After a long winter, a welcome will be extended to daylight saving time, the unofficial start of the spring- summer season, this weekend. Clocks should be set ahead one hour Saturday night, April 23, to be in step with the rest of the community for the next six months. MUSIC FROM THE GOLDEN ERA! DISCO for MOM ind DAD TUESDAY, 9 P.M.

Sharing a few words about the successful campaign are Mayor Joseph Stanek, right, and Ernest Schooley, who became alderman in Ward 4. Schooley has been a regular visitor to City Council meetings for many months, and in the future he will be part of the action governing the city. He was one of three new aldermen elected Tuesday. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD PROTEST RTA- MAN DATED FARE INCREASES (Continued from page 1) granted. No more than four such extended permits may be issued to any licensee within any year. Fees were announced at $25 for each one hour extension for the smaller licensees and $50 for larger ones. Smaller licensees are designated as those with seating capacity of less than 200 persons. Larger ones are designated above that number. The Gunderson zoning petition, concerned with property located west of Harrison school, Wonder Lake, Was approved after being held over from the March meeting. The request was to have 5-plus acres rezoned from "F" to "B- 1" for small businesses in barn and parking. Also approved was a petition made by the Lydia Home association, 4300 W. Irving Park road, Chicago, for a conditional use permit in the "R" Residence district at the northwest corner of McCullom Lake road to provide child care services on a continuing basis. The property consists of about 16.69 acres with an ad­ dress of 1519 Flanders road. It is improved with a two-story frame residence and garage. In making application, evidence was presented that the existing property would be used as it is to house seven children and two house parents. These children are normal in every way except they have no parents, one parent, or for some reason have been made a ward of the court. Termed a "christian" home, it is sup­ ported solely by private con­ tributions and all denominations are welcome. The Lydia home now serves children from the Chicago area, but in making the move to this area, will be serving the Lake region in the future. The children are aged 4 to 13. The home does not accept ex­ tremely handicapped or mentally ill children. Numerous items came to the attention of members in the Legislative and Public Affairs report, one of which was the provision of $10,000 to the Senior Citizen Council already in the budget. In the discussion, Member Thomas Huemann of John- sburg questioned how the money is to be spent. When no answer was forthcoming. Buss moved to send the matter back to committee for an answer to this question. On a recommendation to approve legislation providing exemption for boat licenses up to 10 h p. for senior citizens, qalter Dean interjected his opinion that there should be an increased fee for all licenses and the money used to improve the Fox river. Dean explained that the fee for licenses is only $4 for a three-year period, and this produces little revenue for an improvement program. However, Phyllis Walters expressed her belief that any increase would be put into the General fund and not returned to upgrade the river. A vote followed and resulted in agreement that the license fee should be eliminated for seniors. Considerable discussion took place on the report of the Public Safety commission, which included a review by Sheriff Tyrrell of procedures put in motion when deputies are in­ volved in squad car accidents. It explained the function of the review board which consists of three deputies, a lieutenant and a captain who review each accident. Board Member Cal Skinner, Sr., took exception to this method of review, comparing it to a personal investigation of one's self. Views on conditions in the jail were expressed, and it was generally agreed that over­ crowding was a major cause of recent jailbreaks. The board agreed that the whole matter of jail conditions should go back to the Public Safety committee for further study and then to the Jailbreak committee, which is expected also to deal with accident reviews in the future. Members accepted the Health & Agriculture com­ mittee recommendation to approve a partial (one-year) animal control service agreement with McHenry Shores and full service (two years) animal control agreement with Lakemoor.

BY ANN AT THE O'BREWERY Courthouse Operations com­ mittee report, submitted a courthouse building heating summary for the 120-day mid- November to mid-March period. It revealed that the cost of gas heat per square feet was 0.076 for the 120 days compared to 0.24 for the same period with electric heat. The board was in agreement to allow a company to install a fiberglass septic tank in one residence as an experiment for a six-month period. The cost was reported to be almost equal to the conventional type but advantages were in less weight and ease in working with this type of tank. Special recognition was announced from Governor Thompson for John Shay of McHenry, who directs the McHenry County Emergency Services & Disaster agency. Walter Dean, chairman of the Board of Review, announced that tax bills^e-expected to be in the mail by mid-May. . A ~plot ftw %ubdividing was approved ~for £artipilos, the property located at the en­ trance to Regner road at Pistakee bay. It had previously been approved by the village of Sunnyside. The sales tax for December was announced at $67,589.74. The Rev. Roger Schneider of Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran church, McHenry, was present to give the invocation.

DWI Charge Filed Against McHenry Driver A McHenry man was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated and also for improperly tran­ sporting alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle, following his apprehension Saturday by McHenry police. Nicholas J Troka, 3213 S. Waterview, was arrested when police spotted his car traveling slowly near the intersection of Green street and Waukegan road. Troka apparently was weaving across the roadway and slowing traffic behind him when police stopped the car. When police approached Troka, they discovered he was intoxicated. He was taken to the police station and charged. Tolerance is some­ times confused with the idea that the majority shouldn't exert its rights.
