The truck collided with the tree when Ruffin swerved to avoid the other car. McHenry Fire department Co. I was called to the scene in case of fire. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD RAISE ALDERMEN SALARIES (Continued from page 1) how much time would be involved in the job. "If you pay a full-time salary, you could expect full-time work," Wieser said. Wieser also said the mayor may have to assume some of the administrative duties of the superintendent position. "We need the boss of the streets out on the streets and leave the ad­ ministration to the executive officer," he added. Alderman Pepping moved to increase the salary of mayor to $12,000. The motion was defeated in a 5 to 4 vote. Aldermen Pepping, Harker, Nolan and Datz voted in favor of the increase. Aldermen Wieser, Adams, Schooley, Meurer and Mayor Stanek voted against the increase. Alderman Wieser then moved to send the measure to committee for another recommendation. Voting in favor of this measure were Aldermen Nolan, Datz, Wieser, Adams, Meurer and Schooley. Voting against were Aldermen Pepping and Harker. Alderman Pepping then reported that the same rationale would be used for a raise for aldermen from $50 per meeting to $75. The decision was again the result of a 5 to 4 vote. Aldermen Pepping, Harker, Wieser, Schooley and Mayor Stanek were in favor. Voting against were Aldermen Nolan, Datz, Adams and Meurer. Aldermen Nolan, Meurer and Adams argued against the pay raise saying that the job was primarily service oriented and they did not feel it was right, especially with the economy in the state it is in. Alderman Meurer agreed and said this should be taken as a warning to City employees that times were indeed rough. Alderman Pepping also said the Finance committee recommended an adjustment in the City Clerk's salary. At present, the City Clerk is paid $10,000 a year. The clerk, at this time, also serves as the City Collector (a mayoral appointment), for which she is paid $14,000. Pepping said the committee felt that the clerk should be paid more for the elected position than for the appointed one. The Clerk's total salary of $24,000 was adjusted so that, effective the next fiscal year, she would be paid $18,000 a year for City Clerk, with the un­ derstanding that the salary of City Collector would be reduced ac­ cordingly. < The vote was unanimous. The vote was also unanimous to keep the salary of City Treasurer at $1,500 a year. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) detailed steps of the project unfolded and none of them carried any plan to halt west-bound Waukegan road traffic from entering the intersection turning north. Then one day the air hammer disappeared. So did the men who were operating it. The project was complete. We waited eagerly for an opportunity to say, "I told you so", but it never came. Travelling the route at least three times daily, we discovered that only two or three times in a matter of months was our blood pressure raised by drivers who refused to read the "Do Not Block Intersection" sign. And so it was that when a reporter returned with the news that the City Council is now concerned with in­ convenience caused motorists at this intersection, we were flabbergasted. Four years of complaining and they had finally heard our plea. Except that we were no longer complaining. But maybe someone else was, proving that newspaper editors have little clout at City Hall. Anyway, they came up with Plan A and Plan B last week before they finally settled on Plan C. We are indeed grateful, and except for a wounded pride will emerge from this four-year episode with the feeling of success. Of course, it wasn't really our success, but you can't have everything.

Busy Judge In Large Circuit WOODSTOCK -- Some big-city judges might like to have Judge Roland Herrmann's secret of cutting down on a backlog of cases. Judge Herrmann, one of the presiding Justices in the 19th Judicial Circuit Court of McHenry County, has been presiding over a murder trial in Woodstock for the past two weeks. However, during recesses of the trial and preceding each morning's start, he has also managed to deal with several other important cases. One morning last week, during a recess, he directed a sentencing hearing and ordered an Indiana man to serve 10 years imprisonment for a June home invasion incident in Algonquin. On the same afternoon, after the murder jury had been dismissed for the day, the judge had before him air of­ fender whom he dealt leniently with because the defendant had a mental problem after sustaining serious in­ juries in traffic accidents which left him with metal plates inside his head. The following day, a young offender he had recently sentenced to a work program came before the judge with smiles and warmth abounding. The defendant asked the judge's permission to marry and the judge chatted about several things with the young man and even offered to perform the marriage ceremony. "You've got to understand people and get to their roots before you can judge them," Herrmann says, adding that the court should always consider the good of the community. What makes a good judge? "Knowledge of the law, experience, temperament and, of course, common sense," according to Herrmann The judge's father was a Lutheran minister, and Herrmann always says chat his father emphasized "common sense" in his life. Is there a backlog of cases in McHenry County? "We don't have any backlog to speak of," Judge Herrmann said. Of 300 civil cases outstanding in June, less than 40 have not been disposed of, according to Herrmann. "And, to some degree, the lawyers have been responsible for holding up these cases." According to the judge, the 19th Judicial Circuit, which includes both Lake and McHenry counties, is the largest and busiest circuit "with the exception of Cook County" of the 21 circuits in the state. "We have the highest number of cases filed and cases disposed of per judge in this circuit than all the others. In McHenry and Lake counties, we've been averaging about 5,800 cases per judge and possibly more!" This doesn't mean that Judge Herrmann is a slave to the court bench. On the contrary, he can be very in­ formal in the courtroom, chatting to persons about* their background and coming down off the bench to talk about legal opinions with lawyers. The judge can often be found seated in the jury box as he hears informal arguments or at the lawyers' table in the courtroom talking over matters in a case with the lawyers concerned. He's been known to leave early to talk about legal matters with lawyers over a beer. A resident of McHenry, Herrmann became a full circuit judge in 1976 after Health Fair Follow-Up McHenry County Health fair follow-up sessions successfully completed this year's county-wide health screening program. Sessions were held in McHenry and Woodstock in November, where a total of 200 people attended. Members of the Health fair committee, physicians and representatives from various medical organizations were in attendance to aid in explaining the results.

A native of Carroll, Iowa, Judge Herrmann was graduated with a bachelor's degree from Valparaiso University in Indiana, where he later was graduated from its school of law.

The judge has served both as an assistant state's attorney and an assistant public defender. In excess of 30 lawyers are currently seeking two judgeship openings in the circuit. In response to the question of why a person would want'to become a judge, Herrman replied, "Sometimes to get tut of a practice, some persons would like to become a judge as a cap to their legal career, some think it will help with an academic background, some like the prestige of the judiciary and a few look at the_salary.
