MAYOR SPEAKS OUT FAVORING ANNEXATION (Continued from page 1) MAYOR JOSEPH 8TANEK to one municipality, the other naturally becomes a little reticent," he said. "The ominous forebodings of the financial condition are not that bad." Stanek reiterated that the community was "in the black" except for the bill to the engineering firm of Baxter and Woodman. Their assets, he added, far outweigh the liabilities. The mayor explained that the Shores owned river frontage lots as well as two buildings and lots in the village. The public works depart­ ment had trucks, blades, tools etc., "all of which have some market value." "I can't recall (the council) ever being as curt and discourteous to someone applying for annexation," Stanek said. Noting that there was much criticism of the Lakeland Park annexation, Stanek said, "It's always easy to carp and sharpshoot." MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) traditional result ~ and there have been no exceptions. The RTA views the expense of a ticket agent at the Mctienry station as poor business because of the major expense for the small number of riders. Facts might convince one to see any of the views presented. From the standpoint of money alone - and the agent alone - the arguments for the city are weak. But let's look ahead. McHenry has to rate second among the fastest growing communities in the county. At the same time it's growing, we're threatened to become a one-horse town with not one train arriving or leaving daily. When new families move into any community, one of their first questions, along with the calibre of schools churches and businesses, is to ask •about transportation. This has not been our proudest answer in recent years, but at least we have been able to point to two trains a day. If McHenry should lose the little it has in transportation, it would be an embarrassing answer for people who otherwise view the community as an ideal place in which to settle. All things considered, we can see how important it is to fight this one to the end. There's more at stake than just one station agent. KAF NEW TREASURER FOR VILLAGE (Continued from page 1) necessary to properly perform the treasurer duties. She had been ap­ pointed treasurer about two years ago by David Grimes, former president of the village board. Grimes resigned in August last year when the new board, elected in April, dumped the con­ troversial special assessment road improvement program. Ms. Bangle, the new treasurer, has been a citizen's representative since last April on the village finance com­ mittee, which is getting the village's financial picture in order in an­ ticipation of a possible merger with the city of McHenry. She also is the treasurer of the Island Lake Sanitary district. A public hearing will be held Saturday, March 6, at 10 a.m. at the Lon Reed Civic center, 3211 West Beach drive, McHenry Shores. The proceedings will bring to an end Stop I of the Federal Grant project preparing for a wastewater collection and treatment facilities plant. All trustees and all public advisory members are urged to attend and to become part of this public portion of the process. PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. MARCH 5,1*2 Women's €/vfc Group Forms Tornado Preparedness A new organization, the McHenry Junior Women's civic group, is gaining new members to work toward the betterment of the community. Its goal will be to focus attention on one major civic program each month, covering the interests of members. Among the first programs on which they will work is a joint effort with the McHenry library to provide new materials and programs in the children's section. Members also have set, as one of their goals, assistance to McHenry hospital on programs such as the Yellow Brick Road, replenishment of toys in the children's ward, and fund raising programs for the new facility. Another aim is to coordinate efforts with the McHenry Park district to sponsor a bus excursion for children and mothers to area zoos, museums, or working farms next summer. The next meeting will be held March 9 at 7:30 at St. Paul's Episcopal church, 3706 W. St. Paul's avenue, off Green % street. Further information is available from Mrs. Robert Dalton or Mrs. Richard Watson. MCC Commits $200,000 For Rt. 14 Turn Lanes FARM THEFT Sheriff's police are investigating the theft of a leather saddle, bridle, nine bags of feeds, 50 bales of hay, two horse blankets and a horse trough from a barn at Maple Hill Farm, 2618 Regner road, McHenry. A Wonder Lake juvenile was taken into custody and referred to juvenile authorities Tuesday by sheriffs police following a burglary and theft at 5322 W. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. , McHenry County college's board of trustees has approved the concept of committing the college to obtain or spend up to $200,000 for turning lanes on Route 14 in front of the college. The trustees unanimously approved pur­ suing the road improvements at the last meeting. MCC President Bob Bartlett said the commitment was needed before the Illinois Department of Transportation will prepare engineering studies and project bidding specifications for the road work. Bartlett told the trustees the college would seek help for the construction costs from other local agencies, but he indicated there was no state or federal money available to finance the work. The project would include providing a turning lane into the college's Lucas road entrance as well as lengthening the turning lane provided for traffic coming from the Crystal Lake area. In other action at the late February meeting, the college trustees learned that improperly installed fiber glass heating ducts are causing the loss of as much as 20 percent of MCC's heat and air conditioning energy. The trustees approved rapid efforts to correct the problem by authorizing the board's Construction committee to select a contractor for repair work and spending up to $5,000 to get the repair work under way. They also asked the administration and the college's at­ torney to pursue possible legal action for the construction defects. The trustees also voted to change the board policy manual to reflect that board committee meetings are held on the college campus and are public meetings. They revised the college's policy by requiring students who repeat the same course more than once to pay auditing charges of $20 per credit hour in ad­ dition to regular tuition and fees.

The board was notified that a proposed seminar titled "How to Stay Non-Union" had been cancelled. Bartlett said the seminar, which dealt with employee-employer relations, was misnamed. The college had received several letters from union members and officials objecting to the seminar title. The college's academic calendar was revised to include an early registration period for the spring, 1983 semester credit courses. The Nov. 8 through 12 registration is designed to eliminate a bottleneck in registration and coun­ seling caused by increased new student enrollment in mid-year. If You're Away When A Tornado Threatens Although most people know where to seek shelter from a tornado in their own home, they become confused or panic if a warning is issued while they are at work, out shopping or in their car. Some basic rules apply, no matter what your location. The best shelter is on the lowest level of a building, away from windows and doors. When possible, get beneath a sturdy piece of furniture. Protect your head and chest, since storm-related deaths are frequently due to injuries to these parts of the body . If you're in a public building, look for a predesignated shelter. Always stay inside the building. Don't run to your car, since you're generally safer inside a structure than in the open. Beware of long-span roof areas, like those found in malls and gymnasiums. Instead, try to find a smaller room such as a closet, restroom or storeroom. Stairwells also make good shelter. In mobile homes or cars, leave them and find shelter in a building. If there is no nearby shelter, lie flat in the nearest ravine, ditch or culvert with your arms shielding your head. Share your knowledge with those around you. Direct co-workers, com­ panions or fellow-shoppers to safe shelter if they appear confused when a tornado threatens. County Board Chairman Ronald J. Morris has proclaimed March 1 through 7 as Tornado Preparedness week in McHenry county. Further information is available by contacting McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster agency at 815-338-6400 or one may pick it up at their offices at 2200 N. Seminary avenue, Woodstock. Teach Skills For Nurse Assistants A course designed to teach skills needed by nurse assistants who work in hospitals and nursing homes will begin March at McHenry County college. The course, which includes actual time spent working in nursing homes in McHenry county, continues through April 2. The six-credit hour course meets from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Registration for the course is under way at the college campus on Route 14 at Lucas road. For additional in­ formation about the course telephone MCC at (815) 455-3700, extension 333.
