PAGE 20 - PLAINItK AK KR - WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1981 continue into the county contest, which leads to state. As a result, Miss Mullen will carry on her duties as the reigning queen during MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE IN FATALITY ON RIVER (Continued from page 1) two cars met head-on at the in­ tersection of Route 176 and River road, near Island Lake. Arthur L. Carroll was pronounced dead on arrival at McHenry hospital following the collision. Witnesses said the Carroll vehicle was eastbound on Route 176 when a westbound vehicle, driven by Robert J. DePaepe, of Crystal Lake, crossed the center line and crashed into the Carroll auto. Island Lake police said Carroll's fiancee, Beth A. Alexander, and Joan M. DePaepe, were taken to McHenry hospital by the Wauconda rescue squad. Charges -vare pending from the collision, which occurred at 10:10 p.m. Saturday. Earlier in the day, Island Lake police were again summoned to the in­ tersection of Route 176 and River road, where a car had run into a house. The driver of the vehicle, Marek Szymanski, of Chicago, told police the left front tire of the auto blew, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The car traveled across the east- bound lane of traffic, a ditch, a yard and struck the foundation of a house owned by Paul Brandel. Szymanski was cited for negligent driving. The accident occurred at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. The Richmond Rescue squad responded to a car-bicycle collision on Route 12, one mile east of Spring Grove road. Kimberly Diedrich, age 12, of 1505 W. Sunnyside Beach, McHenry, was transported to McHenry hospital for examination and treatment of injuries. The driver of the vehicle, Stewart Weitzman, of Wheeling, told police he was driving east on Route 12 when a bicycl^traveled into the path of his vehicle. No citations were issued. Rory J. Fiali, of 1012 Northridge, Wonder Lake, received two tickets following a two-car collision at the intersection of Hilltop and Salem in Wonder Lake. The driver of the other car, Vicki Gleason, of 5408 Sommerville, Wonder Lake, was taken to McHenry hospital by the Wonder Lake Rescue squad. Fiali was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions and disobeying a stop sign. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) wait. On the night of judging, the girl named to wear the crown was the one contestant who could proceed no fur­ ther. She was eligible to reign as Miss McHenry in her home city but not to the Fiesta Days celebration and through the year ahead, while Miss Poteracki seeks to bring honor to her home community on the county level. The developments were sure to be a serious disappointment for Miss Mullen, while giving her runnerup a new opportunity. Fiesta Days and the McHenry County fair are the biggest entertainment treats of the summer season for local residents, who will be watching with interest the participation of these two popular young women. KAF CAIN CHARGES CRYSTAL LAKE MAYOR WITH BREACH OF TRUST (Continued from page 1) have told one and all that the hospital is "not for sale". Furthermore the McHenry board believes that the parochial attitudes expressed by Mayor Wehde will mitigate against any favorable con­ siderations of the Sherman-Crystal Lake proposal and may well preclude any joint community effort. Cain concluded by saying, "We feel there has been a breach of trust by Mayor Wehde. Confidentiality has been breached contrary to our joint agreement. Moreover, while the mayor had indicated he would do nothing further to hurt McHenry's application, his announced meeting with officials of the Illinois Health Facilities Planning board to convince them that only a Joint effort between Sherman and McHenry should be approved, can only be in­ terpreted as a breach of his agreement in this regard as well. "The board of McHenry Hospital corporation will fight with all of the resources at its disposal to secure approval for construction of a new facility of which all people in the area can be proud. The recent actions of Mayor Wehde will not"deter us from our objective." AIR VIEWS ON PROPOSED CUTS IN HIGHWAY FUND USE (Continued from page 1) existing definitions of the completion of the Interstate, they claim, the cost to complete estimate is almost $54 billion, but with inflation this system, as defined, can never be completed. As a result, the Secretary of Transportation is being instructed to remove unessential parts of the highway plan and to concentrate on the necessary unfinished parts to complete the system. About rehabilitation of the existing system, the mayors were told that the federal government is expanding in­ terstate rehabilitation under the "4H" program: resurfacing, restoration, rehabilitation and reconstruction, and funding for this will increase by almost 300 percent in 1962 over 1981. The feds will pick up 90 percent of the coat of this program, they indicated. Affecting the cities and villages in this area is the Federal Aid to urban (FAU) funds which currently is at the $900 million level and will be main­ tained at that for 1982, but then will be reduced to $500 million in 1983 and provide no allotments in following years. Stanek said that McHenry had several projects involved in these funds, engineering and resurfacing for Green street from Kane to the city limits and the resurfacing of Meadow lane from Route 120 to Shore drive, totalling about $882,000, and some work on Draper road. Among comments submitted by mayors was that of Stanek suggesting that federal standards used in con­ sidering applications for funds be modified so that funds used locally would buy more roads. Federal stan­ dards, Stanek suggested, were over- engineered for rural areas with lighter traffic and resulted in unnecessary higher administrative costs. Stanek said the purpose of the meeting was to permit representatives of local communities to "lobby" for portions of the FAU programs which they wanted to retain. None of the 17 congressmen or two senators were present, Stanek noted, but seven or eight staff aides were present to carry the mayors'feedback. Ms. Byrne was interested in the meeting because Chicago received 50 percent of the FAU money in this area and she wanted to interchange ideas with the other communities. As the reports of the committees were received by the CATS group, most of the participants seemed to agree with the philosophy of tax reductions and modifications of the programs to reduce spending, according to Stanek. It was expected that changing the allocation of available dollars from local road needs would be criticized, but it would be supportable if they could maintain the main arteries at a higher level than at present. CATS representatives asked the mayors present to comment on how they have been benefitted by distribution of federal aid for urban roads in the past to be used by congressmen to argue for retention of funds in the programs they believed were needed. Standi noted that it was at this time that he advanced the argument for reduced standards for FAU roads so that local communities would have more latitude in the use of such funds. Also, he noted that smaller communities were at a disadvantage in competing for funds since they could not afford full time staffs and did not have the political contacts to be ef­ fective. He expected that the "Reagan reforms" in the road program money distribution would be implemented but' that the city would get the "pot hole" money for this year and next.

Mayor Byrne announced her one cent sales tax proposal to the mayors and estimated that it would raise $115 million to maintain service on the CTA. Stanek said she didn't mention the tax on services. She also assured the mayors that the city intended to con­ tinue services to adjoining cities such as Evanston, but expected to add a small surcharge on commuter fares after consulting with her experts and transportation officials. Stanek indicated that they were advised that the firm of Peat, Marwick and Mitchell had been retained by Ms. Byrne to bring back proposals for stabilizing CTA finances. Stanek said that Ms. Byrne seemed to indicate that she was willing to take a strike if needed to undo the "gluttonous contracts" approved for CTA workers by her predecessors. In response to the school financial crisis (more than $80 million anticipated deficit), she said that it was Springfield's responsibility to solve. She implied a possible up­ coming confrontation based on provisions in the new state constitution that makes the state responsible for the education of children. Stanek said it was his feeling that Byrne might seek a court test of the principle. The McHenry mayor said her actions were characterized as a "bold move of establishing the sales tax to keep Chicago's commerce and industry from grinding to a halt." . Power Oufage For Thousands Teen Night In Park The sounds of Even Steven will be heard on Teen night, Wednesday July 22, in the Pearl street park, as part of the Fiesta Days events.

By Joanne Springman Shaw News Media Ser edia Service About 11,000 to 12,000 McHenry county residents were without power Sunday after a fierce thunderstorm swept across northern Illinois in the morning. . The storm drenched the area, but brought little relief for county residents who have been sweltering in 95-degree heat aggravated by high humidity for the past several days. Hardest hit areas were in Barrington, southern Crystal Lake and Pistakee Bay, according to Ron Russell, district manager for Commonwealth Edison Co. Crews were out from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday and from 7 a.m. Monday to restore service, he said. The storm did not cause any major problems for Illinois Bell, however, there were a few scattered in­ terruptions due to downed wires, said Stan Jozwiak, office manager in Woodstock. ..Nearly three inches of rain was dumped oh Richmond early Sunday and today, while Woodstock received a little less than one inch, according to Barry Valentine of the McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster agency. In McHenry 1.8 inches of rain fell during the same period. Winds reached a maximum of 39 miles per Teen night of Fiesta Days swings into action Wednesday, July 22, when the Pearl street park becomes headquarters for Even Steven and the sounds of the Eighties from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. The group was formed ap­ proximately eight years ago, and has done extensive studio work, as well as recording their own album. In keeping with the umbrella theme of "Our American Heritage", Teen night is part of "Tomorrow's Heritage", as McHen­ ry youth come together to enjoy this special program that is part of the 10- day festivities from July 17-26. Billed as "Great Sounds by Mostly McHenryites", Even Steven has per­ formed with Bob Hope, for Flip Wilson, alongside Cannonball Atterly, and as a backup group for a variety of other performers. Dean Howard is the guitarist for Even Steven, and brings his creative ability to the group, also playing piano in the band. Dave Crippin handles four different keyboards and trumpet, as well as fronting the band with vocals. Bob Boyle adds the bottom to the group on bass, and uses the trumpet as a secondary instrument, as well as singing with the band. Lou Thorns adds to the group's versatility with his considerable talents on trumpet, flugel horn, trombone, piano, guitar, congas, and drums. Scott Wieck on drums adds drive to the group, sings lead vocals, and plays the flute. Koke McKesson, Even Steven's lead vocalist, brings her own brand of sparkle to the group, and has worked all over the country doing studio work, commercials, and recordings. Dick Nott plays flute, soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone saxes, bass guitar and piano, with his extensive background in the professional music business a solid asset for the band. Cones, funnel cakes, soft drinks, and a complete concessions wagon will satisfy appetites revved up dancing to hits of the Top Forty, as area teens rock and Fiesta Days keep rolling. hour, and the highest temperature was 95 degrees Sunday. Although the summer weather has been warmer this year than last, Valentine said the severe thun­ derstorms and accompanying rainfall are typical for this season. While McHenry county escaped any major flooding problems, Chicago was not so fortunate, the Associated Press reports. • The Sunday morning storm, which flooded some homes and highways and knocked down power lines, dumped 1.76 inches of rain on Chicago, the National Weather Service said. But the Metropolitan Sanitary district said there were much heavier rainfall readings north of the city. BEACH SAMPLING Water samples collected from swimming beaches fay the McHenry County Department of Health July 6 and 7 were obtained from several beaches on the Fox river and from some of the lakes in the county. Those beaches at which there were two consecutive unsatisfactory samples and which the department will be posting as unsafe for swimming include Burton's Bridge, Pistakee Bay and Village of Sunnyside, Fox river.
