Her son, John, now lives in Campville, Pa., and her daughter, Mary Ann Sharp, resides ih McHenry. There are 11 grandchildren. In retirement, she has increased her activities in behalf of others.

For 25 years she has been a member of the McHenry hospital auxiliary, active in its Pink Lady and Pink Door activities. / J She is a faithful volunteer at the Carestoel Care center and works within St. Patrick's Catholic church.

The Public Relations committee of the club planned a second exciting event for the meeting held at Mr. C's restaurant in McHenry.

SHORES ANNEXATION QUESTION TO CITY, VILLAGE COUNCIL (Continued from pagfe 1) expressed by her McHenry constituents was the condition of the Shores roads, and how would that affect McHenry people. Panerali explained that the roads had been let go because village officials foresaw the sewer coming (which would cause more road damage.) Larry Weber, Shores committee member, added that people will want to know what (annexation) costs would be and the benefits. Shores residents can always go to a special assessment for road improvement if required, he observed. The option is still open. Alderman Ron Meurer asked if the design work already done on the Shores streets could be considered an asset. Panerali expressed doubts. "The sewer work will change the whole picture. A number of the drainage problems will be eliminated and the washout of road surfaces reduced." Panerali added that annexation would be a logical thing and result in them being able to have a joint sewer plant operation. Meurer, alderman from Lakeland Park, added, "From our experience, coming into the city is the best thing that happened to our subdivision. Every dollar spent in improvements, owners get back two in valuation in­ creases." Weber noted one negative in an­ nexation for the Shores, that McHenry's building code is less restrictive in house size than the Shores code. Panerali suggested to Mayor Stanek that his board could arrange a tour of the village for aldermen and city of- ROUND 7 PC DINETTE SET NATIONALLY ADVERTISED BRAND 5 YR.

She reassured the Shores residents that they need not be concerned about representation. Weber reminded the group th^t the Shores people are very active in community affair?. "This is of concern to the people wh» don't Want to be an unrepresented stepchild,,l he noted. Nina Keen, president of the citizens group in the Shores, said that they would want someone from their area who would be familiar ' with their problems. The residents Would jwant to be assured that their weds be ad­ dressed, she said. They feared there could be some loss of (community) voice. . ^ Stanek, in answer to Ms. Nolan's question of how the Shores would be represented, said, "One man, one vote," meaning proportional representation. \-v+. , Weber asked if the city could appoint an alderman < from the Shores) in the interim pending the next .election. But both Stanek and Weber could foresee no real conflict between the communities in their proposed relationship, although both conceded there would be some objections. As Ms. Nolan asked the Shores representatives to define how McHenry would benefit from the annexation, Weber pointed out that the city would acquire a number of involved people, planning control of the area near the new hospital, an industrial park which will provide potential industrial growth, more access to the river, and control over the approach area for the proposed Bull Valley road bridge. Stanek added that the most obvious advantage to the city is one good sound government -without areas of com­ munity blight giving "a better com­ munity to withstand the winds of decay." In a discussion of the transfer of assets from the village to the city, it was revealed that if the village had chosen to dissolve the government, its municipal assets would, by law, have gone to the school district. This led to the discussion of Illinois statutes governing one municipality being absorbed by another with the resulting references to the required referenda either by petition or by council action. Ms. Nolan noted, "Now is the time to get to the nitty-gritty. Now we should See how the councils feel about." Stanek added, "It has been publicized. Generally, meetings bring out the opponents. Nobody (objectors) has been here." Meurer wondered about the co6t of the sewers in the Shores. Stanek observed that, federal money is drying up, and the cost of (repairing) the roads would be unknown until the question of the sewers is determined. He indicated that costs probably would depend on the availability of money. Ms. Keen noted that the Facilities Planning Advisory committee had met Oct. 21 to discuss the sewer needs of the Shores. She said that 70 percent of the survey forms returned by the residents indicated sewer needs. She added that the village is not waiting for the septics lo fail and the roads to deteriorate (before taking action).

After September 15th, mn SOME GOOD NEWS. summer is officially over the day your meter's read. The price per kilowatthour, excluding the fuel adjustment charge, will go down from a shade over7*to 5% '.Till next summer rolls around. The reason's simple. When the temperature goes down, air conditioning, refrigerators and fans slow down. And the demand for electricity does too. So it costs us less to make and costs you less to buy. It's worth repeating. Commonwealth Edison Dcrlt take temoriow fcr granted. It's worth repeating. i_ The less the demand, the less electricity costs us to make. And the less it costs you to buy. So if we can all just hold down our demand in the sum­ mer, we can hold down what we all have to pay for electricity tomorrow. Good. Good. j i
