As the thermometer hovered near the mid-90 mark Tuesday, one McHenry man sought comfort by looking at this picture taken on one of last winter's most uncomfortably cold days. Roberta Anderson took the picture of her husband, Ted, inside an igloo-type shelter which they found easy to construct with the abundance of snow on the ground. He feigns comfort, minus his coat, as he displays a sign indicating 14 degrees below zero and the observation, "Baby, it's cold outside!" STUDY CONCEPT OF NUTRITION ON BEHAVIOR (Continued from page 1) find out what effect diet has on their child. Nitz queried what happens after the one-year program is completed. Welter admitted he had no crystal ball, but believed that further funding under other programs could be found. It can be continued, he asserted, but "you have to start somewhere". Member Barb Slater also questioned the expected cooperation from the parents of the 60 students, especially the youngers ones. Welter said that it was found parents of younger problem students were more eager to cooperate for correction of the problem as was the child himself when they found out what certain foods would do to him. Member Judy Zid asked who is the nutritional community liaison person (two of them) and why not fund this through SEDOM program. She said it seemed to be a Special Education problem and the funds should go through them; and shouldn't it (the program) be countywide? Welter said if that were done they would lose control of it for this community. He felt it was best to keep control to avoid too much "third party contact". Ms. Zid persisted saying that if they have to hire the persons with expertise to run this program, why not through SEDOM? She said she was looking beyond the district if this is a viable pilot program. It doesn't seem that District 156 should be the school doing it if it's good. Where do you stop or start? Where do you get the 60 kids? Welter said he thought this was a realistic estimate based on observation of classroom behavior. "An educated guess," he conceded. The program was compared to other "seed money" programs and superintendent Robert Swartzloff said the Illinois Office of Education has always felt seed money is best distributed through local districts. Other discussion indicated that health insurance companies might pick up some of the parent's medical costs on the program, but the consensus was that the companies are usually not favorable to such payments. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) build a car engine that can go 80 miles per gallon of fuel. ^ And in the test run, engine emissions were reported to be four times cleaner than any other engine now on the market. And so there seems to be no limit to the scope of con­ versation on the subject of cars. They surround us on the high­ ways, in cities and today, even in rural areas. Although we couldn't do without therp< there are times in the mijtist of traffic jams and at the gafpump, that each of us must occasionally ponder whether or not the advent of the machine age, after all, was the biggest thing that ever happened to us. KAF PROPERTY DAMAGE RESULTS FROM AREA CRASHES (Continued from page 1) a stop sign at Park and Broad streets and hit another driven by Michael D. Williams, 3402 W. First street, McHenry. Williams said he tried to avoid the accident but could not. Both ojthe people involved in a two-car collision last Friday were ticketed. Dean A. Pries, 1112 Blackhawk, McHenry, said he was westbound on Elm street when another car made a left turn in front of his auto and the collision occurred. Gregory F. McKenna, An- tioch, said he was stopped for a left turn in the intersection while the light was yellow and made the turn on the red. Pries was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. McKenna was cited for failure to yield the right-of- way. COUNCIL OKAYS FRONT STREET ZONING REQUEST (Continued from page 1) City to advertise for bids for a - road grader. The Council voted to buy at least six new American flags, "instead of waiting for someone to donate them." McHenry Police Chief George Pasenelli said the department will auction off some 35 or 40 bikes on Sept. 8 at 10 a.m. Phil Gust, of the McHenry Rescue squad, asked for, and received permission to hold a combination flea market and rummage sale in the Pearl street park on either Sept. 15 or 22 depending on the weather. The "Even Steven" band was hired by the Council for a back- to-school concert Aug. 22 from 7:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. The back-to-school concert is being put on and financed through the Mayor's con­ tingency fund because "the kids have been just great this summer," Mayor Stanek said. The Council also gave per­ mission for a block party to be held Aug. 11 on Cambridge street in Fox Ridge. PROPOSED COUNTY PLAN IN HEARING (Continued from page 1) devined as primarily residential land use that had limited municipal services and utilities and few employment opp&tunities. These were said to include Hebron, Union, Wonder Lake-Sunrise Ridge, Sunnyside-Johnsburg, Spring Grove and the area east of the Fox river. Another classification descriptive of other areas in the county was established and it was called "unique Areas". These were defined as areas unique by their site or situation and could range from historic rural crossroads to large estate developments. They could be characterized by a homogeneous in-development with usually poor accessibility. Nearby locations of such are Ringwood, Greenwood and Prairie cJtQve. Senior planners Bill Ganek explained why the plan of choice was clustered around existing municipalities or services which he "said would conserve energy, minimize distances to services, markets or transportation. Commercial and industrial uses would be encouraged to cluster into industrial parks or centers with access to adequate tran­ sportation. Future energy availability could cause commuting workers to locate employment closer to their residence, Ganek noted. To facilitate greater opportunities, the plan locates such com­ mercial areas closer to municipalities to take ad­ vantage of their services. Ganek added that McHenry county's primary resource is land and the agricultural rural land is the most productive on the map. Protection of this is in the public interest and "an assumption of the plan". Ms. Sullivan concluded the presentation with the ob­ servation that the plan would be a general guide for development and that some of its recommendations could be implemented by existing or­ dinances and regulations. This includes the zoning ordinance which is currently being up­ dated, supplementary and land use regulations, the subdivision control ordinance, the 208 Water Quality plan, and a planned unit development ordinance, all supported by studies on transportation, resources, and economic im­ pacts. Ganek added that the plan can be effective by its use in decisions by the Zoning Board of Appeals, by the County board in ruling ZBA recommendations and by court decisions or litigation resulting from these actions, if the plan is supported by text and ap­ propriate data. Questions included specifics on lots available for building, land areas set aside for various estate size lots, effects of high lines and other factors on market values, for which the staff promised information later, or that such information was not available; Peter Helios asked about dumping sites for sewage in the county and provisions for disposal of such. Morris in­ dicated that the sludge disposal committee was dealing with this problem and they were more involved with process rather than sites. This was part of the five-year work program for the Planning commission, he said. A resident asked if any planning was being done for sewer systems for high density areas such as Wonder Lake, and the answer was not. William Howenstine com­ mended the Planning com­ mission for a good job and asked about the possible conflict with the planning jurisdiction of cities in the "node concept",. He was assured that most cities had responded to questions and their plans were considered.

ILL. yve^NRy No Increase In Hospital Costs In a report to the Illinois State Cost Containment committee (the Illinois Voluntary Effort to Contain Health Care Costs), Robert E. Ivancevich, executive director, highlighted Bureau of Labor's CPI, released July 26, which indicate that for the Chicago metropolitan area the price of medical care exhibited a zero increase between May and June, 1979. This, compared with an inflationary increase in the Chicago are of over 13 percent annualized, further supports the success of the Illinois Voluntary Effort in containing health care costs in the state. Traditionally, medical costs in the Chicago area increase at the same or higher rate than in the remainder of the state. Ivancevich reported that the hospital room charge com­ ponent of the Consumer Price Index increased only 0.6 per­ cent between May and June,*an annual rate of 7.2 percent. J. M. Ingalls, M.D., Paris 111., chairman of the State'Cost Containment committee, stated, "The Continued per­ formance of the voluntary Effort in containing health care costs in the face of double digit inflation in the general economy conclusively indicates that Congress should not enact hospital cost containment legislation. We suspect the temptation is very great on the part of Congress to pass such legislation in an effort to placate the President since Congress has been less then cooperative with him in these past two years. "The ,, men and women working in the health care community; doctors,- ad­ ministrators, nurses, hospital service workers, have proven that there is no need for ar­ bitrary bureaucratic federal red tape to contain hospital costs. Passage of such legislation by the Congress would only speak of Congress' irresponsibility and will be^,a grave disservice to the American citizenry." The Illinois Voluntary Effort is a coalition made up of per­ sons from the health care community whose purpose is to voluntarily control health care inflation without additional government intervention and regulations.

The Low Serves You What A "Mechanic's Lien" Can Mean to Homeowners If you are a homeowner or a prospective homeowner and you don't know the meaning of the legal term "mechanic's lien", now is a good time to learn. According to the Illinois State Bar association, most con­ tractors who make alterations, additions or improvements to your property at your request and who have not been paid ^ within a certain time period, are entitled to a lien or claim against your property for the *cost of their labor and materials. Contractors have within two years after the work is completed to file a claim with the county recorder where the real estate is located. In ft he case of personal property, the law does not give a creditor the right to enforce a lien by actual possession of the real property. But it does allow the creditor to establish an encumbrance against your property. When a lien is at­ tached to property, it could interfere with the sale or transfer of the property or in some cases cause a foreclosure sale of the property so that the bill will be paid from the proceeds. The Illinois State Bar association offers several suggestions to prospective homeowners and to homeowners who are con­ sidering home improvements which require outside professional help. The Illinois State Bar association offers several suggestions to prospective homeowners and to homeowners who are con­ sidering home improvements which require outside professional help. For the prospective homeowner: before buying property, you should have your attorney check to make sure that the property is clear of liens which might have been filed as a result of past im­ provements made by the previous owner; also your k attorney may require ihe seller to furnish an affidavit to the effect that all bills for materials, services and labor within the past two years have been paid. If you fail to do this and you buy the property, you could end up responsible for such liens. For the person planning construction on property already owned: require the contractor to give you an af­ fidavit - a notarized statement - which lists the names of all the subcontractors, their addresses and the amounts of their subcontracts; before paying the contractor, as for waivers from subcontractors waiving their rights to liens in con­ nection with the work that was done along with waivers of liens from their material suppliers, compare the contractor's sworn statement to the ^vaivers to be sure that all liens have been waived as to the amount due or requested. Finally, one of the best guarantees of a job free of legal hassles is to hire a contractor with a good reputation and an established place of business; ask for references or check with the Better Business MEETFOR MENTALHEALTH - The Family Service and Community Mental Health Center for McHenry County will hold its regular monthly board of directors' meeting Wednesday, Aug. 15, at 7:30 p.m. in the Woodstock area office, 224 West Judd street, Woodstock. The public is in­ vited to attend. Bureau to determine whether any complaints have been made against the contractor. HOME STYLE . . .
