(Continued from page 1) vf . ^ad the classic stoical outlook. ."When your time comes, it comes. I don't think it will hit , McHenry. You know, I've been 4p a lot of tight places ami I've always come out." One McHenry resident said, 'J We could have^«ipected it" ;V; Rev. Herman Graef said, \«Ut's a normal consequence of modern technology that we're .going to have to learn to live • *yith. With my faith in Christ, it .doesn't worry me at all. I'm "prepared." , And Vicki Schindler, JVfcHenry was a little skeptical and chided the press. "I think ..{Jhey're not playing it up as r^nuch aS they should. They said ,'gp *20-20' (a news program similar to 60 Minutes) that it because they didn't have, money. TOiey also said / tat no one was going to get hurt. I'd like to see it hit someone doing a report on it," vShe said with a smile. And so, with a skyward glance, the reporter and ^photographer headed back to Plaindealer office to hide under their desks. FALCON PLANS HEARD BY ZBA J (Continued from page 1) He was referring to measurement of a foot or more. Wiss said also that the ponds rain very well. "If the large [pond was full (5 feet)," Wiss said, "it would be drained in 18 [hours." The chief protection for the {residents, .Wiss said, would be Jthe gently sloping sides of the >nd. There is virtually, no sibility of an accident, Wiss lid. Wilkins said that there is ^always the "what happens- if" •(situation. » Wiss said he would equate the ^danger from the pond to that of f'a street with traffic. r'Wilkins said the ponds would »probably be less dangerous. ! Wilkins then wanted to know 'how the storm water run-off would affect other property owners on Riverside drive. "As soon as you start building," Wilkins said, "you are going to increase the drainage problem. How much is this going to increase the run­ off?" "The developer has the responsibility and the legal obligation not to increase the run-off onto another person's property," Falcon said. Both Falcon and Wiss assured the board that adequate measures can and would be taken to control the run-off from the site. According to the engineering report, storm water run-off and the inherent erosion problem could be controlled by phased construction so that the aiQotirit of soil exposed at any one time is limited, by using hay bale filters during construction and by establishing permanent vegetation at the earliest possible time during the con­ struction process. Mrs. Trethaway said the the run-off from the site "runs like a river" across her property to the north. Wiss said the water that ran across her land in the past would do so again, but, the situation would be no worse than it already is. Wiss explained that a detention pond is designed to trap excess run-off and then release it at a controlled rate as opposed to a retention pond which would only contain the water. Mrs. Trethaway, speaking for the group, wondered why there was no park land provided in the 125-acre development. Falcon said the Planning commission indicated that the city did not want a park at the site. The city Vduld prefer an additional cash donation in lieu of a land donation, Falcon said. The same answer applied when Mrs. Trethaway asked why there was no access road from the development into the City of McHenry other than McCullom Lake road. Sanitary service to the development would be through a sewer system which would exit to the northwest along McCullom Lake road and connect to a manhole which is to be built by the developers of the McHenry Lake Estates. Wilkins wanted to know what would happen if the McHenry Lake Estates builders do not have the manhole finished when the hook-up is ready to be made? J Falcon said the Falcon Development company would install the necessary sewer and equipment and' then "look to the city to recapture the costs." The report estimated the real estate tax base from both the residential and the commercial areas at $12,049,620. Of this amount, the City of McHenry would receive an estimated $97,602; Elementary School District 15 would get $267,381 (est.); High School District 156 would get $261,838 (est.) and the Junior College district 528 would get $22,292 (est.). The increase in population generated from this develop­ ment is estimated at 1,015 overall. Broken down into age groups the increase would be: 88 in the 0 to 4 age group, 237 in the 5 to 13 age group, 91 in the 14 to 17 age group and 599 adults. Wilkins wanted to have the petitioners produce witnesses to tdftify to the planned site usage- architects and the like. Bryce Klontz wanted the testimony of the engineers who did the traffic impact study to0 be presented and under oath and so the hearing will reconvene on Friday, July 27, at 3 p.m. Band In Varied Concert July 12 Director Bill Toalson has announced a varied program to be presented by the city's stage band in the Pearl street park Thursday, July 12, at 8 p.m. The musicians will open with "Gonna Fly Now" from "Rocky".

ISSUE OF DOCUMENTS & DEPOSIT Bid documents will be issued at Skylab Philosophy , - v - DON BENTZ Johnsburg GEORGE BRABENEC Wonder Lake How do McHenry area residents think the falling of Skylab will affect them? That question was asked by a Plaindealer reporter on the street Friday morning. Don Bentz of Johnsburg commented calmly, "I doubt it'll hit McHenry". George Brabenec of Wonder Lake had much the same philosphy, "We'll wait and see, but we're not worried about it". STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD JULIE BROOKS Smiles and tears were a necessary part of the last week of McHenry's three AFS foreign students, as the> prepared to say goodbye to the families and friends they made during their year in McHenry. The three students, Margarita Correa, Columbia ihosts, Roman and Diane Miller family and Jacquelyn Smith family); Caterina Simon, Italy (hosts, Maria and fed Guettler family and Don and Shirley Toole family); and Anun Conchawalit, Thailand (hosts, Weg and Peg Thomas family), were feted at an AFS farewell party in June. They received small gifts as mementos of their AFS ex­ perience in McHenry and McHenry Booklets from McHenry Chamber of Com­ merce. The young people left June 28 for a two-week bus trip through the United States before returning to their respective countries in July. And as they were preparing to return home, Julie Brooks, McHenry's AFS student of 1979, left for Portugal. The recent McHenry high school graduate spent two days in New York City for orientation and flew to Madrid, Spain, on the twenty- fifth. From Madrid, she boarded a train to the centra] coastal city of Caldas DaRainha, Portugal, which is about two hours from Lisbon. The AFS student is staying with the Joao and Maria Nunes family. They have a daughter, who is 17, and a son, 14 years old. The family has a ten-room residence in the city. Portugal, which is the size of Indiana, with an approximate population of 9.75 million will be Julie's host country for the summer. She will return in September and as an AFS International - Intercultural program returnee, will be available for speeches about her host family and country to her community's schools, in­ terested organizations, and clubs. Julie is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Brooks of McHenry. Her address for the summer is in care of Joao and Maria Nunes, Vivenda. Past- dao, r-c Caldao DaRainha, Portugal.
