PAGE »-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, APRIL MW2 CITY INCREASES POLICE TO 18 (Continued from page 1) Disaster agency coordinator, Charlene Svihlik. The council noted that arrangements have been made with McHenry- Woodstock Disposal company for McHenry Clean-Up week, June 7-11. A unanimous vote approved tag day requests for the Lion's Candy day, Oct. 9; McHenry Pigtail league, June 5; and Helping Paws, June 19. ^ The council approved the replacement of a furnace at the city garage at a cost of $790. A request from the Town and Country organization to put a banner across Green street was denied by the council. Alderman Pepping commented that while he was in favor of the group and their fund raising activities, if he voted "yes" he would have to do so for any non-profit organization. The council voted unanimously to take the zoning of the Tonyan Industrial park to the Zoning board, if required. If the park's zoning is not covered by an annexation agreement, the McHenry Shores zoning is eliminated because of the annexation and any undeveloped parcel would have to come before the Zoning board. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) we regarded as substantial. But without the conniving thoughts of Bell, we paid it. Two months later, from IRS headquarters, came a very large check - for overpayment through an error in bringing a figure forward on the income tax form. Bell tells it like this: "It is time that the masses in this country wake up to the fact that they are the Government and God is willing to set the captives free". Somehow, we never looked at it just that way and we were never so in­ structed. Maybe we don't get all the goodies we think we deserve for what we're paying in, but our old Uncle proved he was honest last April and you can't expect much more in this greedy world. KAF ELEMENTARY ENROLLMENT DOWN (Continued from page 1) there would be no reduction in force for the coming year. In other business, the board approved an interfund loan of $62,000 to the education fund. Explaining the transfer document, a form drawn up by board attorneys, Business Manager Bill Landis explained, "This transfer will be the first of many you'll see this year." The board approved the appointment of M David Cain, Ltd., as the ac­ counting firm to conduct the annual audit for the district for the 1961-82 fiscal year, for a fee of $2,700. This will be the third and last year the district will use the Cain firm. According to board policy, the district must change its auditing firm regularly to protect the district's financial integrity. The board approved a $1 increase in fees for the coming year member Eileen Zurblis warned that iT state aid does not meet expectations, a fee may be charged to pay for lun­ chroom supervision. The board moved to accept the county calendar for the 1982-83 school year. The calendar provides for a first day of student attendance Aug. 30, eight days of Christmas vacation, and a school closing date of June 8. In a final piece of business relating to planning for the coming year, board president Gary Lockwood announced that the next instructional meetir would be conducted largely/\n executive session. It will be hekfat the central office, rather than at Edgebrook school, as originally an­ nounced, to discuss employment considerations for the coming year. WAIVE FEES FOR HOSPITAL EXPANSION (Continued from page 1) On a motion to waive the fees, Alderman Wieser cast the only dissenting vote. Aldermen Pepping, Nolan, Smith, Serritella and Meurer voted in favor. Aldermen Harker and Datz were absent. On the recommendation of Steven Verseman, of Baxter and Woodman Engineering, the council approved, in concept, a water line route to the hospital site. The route crosses Knox park, turns south along Route 31 to Bull Valley road and then east to the hospital site. It was one of two routes proposed for the water line extension. The cost of the extension was estimated at $175,000. Verseman said the route was preferable because of a cost savings of about $45,000, it allowed a quicker development of the McDonald property (slated for an industrial park) and it would benefit the hospital, being closer to the building. The Baxter and Woodman engineer commented that a letter would be in the mail from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency permit section giving the okay for the sewer plan. The council then addressed the issue of "public benefit," or how much the city should pay for the utility ex­ tensions. Alderman Pepping said it would be reasonable to assume some public benefit would accrue to the utility project and all councilmen agreed. The question was, "How much?" City Attorney Bernard Narusis commented that public benefit was an easy concept to apply to roads and water lines, but was a little more dif­ ficult where sewer lines were con­ cerned. Alderman Raymond Smith (3rd ward) said development in the area was speculative and added it was conceivable that no development would take place. "I'm not against giving some money," Smith said. "I just don't want to see it camouflaged behind public benefit." Pepping argued that the existence of the hospital was, to some degree, a distinct benefit to the citizens of IcHenry. attorney Narusis pointed out that forgiving fees was relatively simple, but with public benefit the city would have to^come up with money. Pepping said there were two methods of financing public benefit as it would apply to the sewer line extension. The cityj^ould either take money out of per department revalues or use a 'General Obligation bond. "Does this mean sewer and water rates will increase?" asked Mrs. Serritella. Pepping said the Sewer department was in serious condition regardless of the hospital. He said it was obvious that sewer rates would have to increase and it should not cloud the public benefit issue. A motion to approve "public benefit" of $75,000 was approved. Alderman Wieser cast the sole dissenting vote. The matter of how to fund the payment, over what time period, was not discussed at the special meeting. In other business, McHenry Mayor Joseph Stanek directed the Utilities committee to make a recommendation to bring sewer rates in compliance with bond ordinances. Attorney Narusis declared that the city "was absolutely obligated to bond holders to set charges that will cover the operation (of the sewer system) and maintain reserves (prescribed by law)." According to estimated figures for the end of the present fiscal year, the sewer department shows a surplus of $27,500. Alderman Pepping said this was misleading because the surplus was due to a transfer of capital development fees in the amount of $155,000. Pepping said the department would have faced a deficit of $127,500, had the fees not been transferred. However, Pepping pointed out that city auditors had advised the city for years not to use capital development fees to fund the daily operation of the sewer department. The fees, like revenue sharing, cannot be guaranteed on an annual basis. He said the council had made a political decision against this advice in order to keep unusually low rates. McHenry, he said, has the lowest utility rates in northern Illinois. "As a result, the sewer department is in desperate shape," Pepping said. As far as the water department was concerned, Pepping reported that the .fees were at about the break-even point and no adjustment would probably be necessary.

S1S/4SS-4S00 Passenger Leaves With Driver's Car Layne Peterson, of Bunny drive, McHenry, told police Sunday that during the early morning hours he had given an acquaintance a ride in his car and he stopped at the home of a friend and while there, his passenger drove the car away and the vehicle has not been found. Police investigated a burglary Saturday at a summer home on Or­ chard Beach road, McHenry, where a window was broken to gain entry and water skis, a saw, life vests, speakers, a television set, candy and liquor were stolen. Sheriff's police arrested 49-year-old Arthur Derham, of 3160 Seventh street, Waukegan, on charges of driving under the influence and improper lane usage, after reportedly observing him driving in an erratic manner on Barnard Mill road near Route 31, McHenry. Bond is set at $3,050 for an April 13 court ap­ pearance. Crash Scene Search Ends SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE After weeks of searching, the 111- nois Air National Guard is wrapping up its operations in the Greenwood area. Operations head, Chief Master Sgt. Everett Sisk of the 126th Air Refueling Wing of the Guard, said all the large pieces have been retrieved and shipped to O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. However, many smaller pieces have not been found. "When farmers get out in the fields, they'll be finding parts for quite some time," Sisk said. He requests that people finding pieces bring them to Gait Airport, on Greenwood Road north of the village. They will be tagged, recorded and taken to O'Hare. Sisk said people may call Gait Manager Hank Zeigler at 648-2433 or the O'Hare base at (312) 694-3031 for more information. Probation For Kostner SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE A 35-year-old Marengo man has been sentenced to serve 30 months on probation with the first six months in county jail. Steven Kostner of 8016 S. Illinois 23, was arrested Dec. 23 by state police on charges of attempted murder, aggravated battery, armed violence and criminal damage to property. The charges stemmed from a shooting incident on Illinois 23, south of Marengo, after Merwyn Thompson of Marengo was reportedly injured. Following negotiations with the state, Kostner pleaded guilty to the charge of aggravated battery last week in 19th Judicial Circuit court. The state agreed not to prosecute the other charges. Judge Leonard Brody accepted Kostner's guilty plea, sentenced him and assessed court costs against the defendant. Court Charge For Looting By Angela Burden SHAW HMMA NEWS SERVICE Very few charges of looting have been brought to court in McHenry county. However, preliminary hearings are scheduled next week on charges of theft and obstruction of justice brought against a Union man in connection with the looting of property following the crash of an minds Air National Guard KC-135A tanker transport March 19 in the Greenwood area. "We've never Hied a looting charge before, to my recollection," McHenry County State's Attorney Ted Floro said Wednesday. Sheriff Hank Nulle has been associated with the McHenry County Sheriff's department for more than 27 years and can only recall one other occasion of looting. "There was some looting after the 1965 tornado that struck the (rural) Crystal Lake area. Quite a large amount... but I can't recall looting at any other time," he said today. A Crystal Lake Police department spokesman recalls the tornado of 17 years ago. "We didn't have any Johnsburg High School . in the city. We were most fortunate. In fact we had a great deal of help and cooperation from the public," the spokesman said. George Seidlein, an air safety in­ vestigator for the National Tran­ sportation Safety board, said his department was not involved in the Greenwood area incident. The NTSB handles civil aircraft accidents, not the military ones. "Generally, when we are notified of an aircraft accident, the board requests local authorities to secure the area," Seidlein said. "I've never known looting in any investigations I've personally been involved with," he said. However, he did recall an East Coast plane crash where he saw newspaper photographs of people running away from the crash scene with victims' luggage. "Personally, I have had no problem with looters," Seidlein said. Woodstock City Fire Department Chief Phil Parker said to his knowledge no looting had occurred during fires in the area. "I know looting does occur, but not around here." Select Spring Cast For Play Johnsburg high school theatre has announced the cast of its spring play, "The Taming of the Shrew". Auditions for the Shakespeare comedy were held in early March at the school. Over 40 students auditioned for the 20 roles in the play. "The Taming of the Shrew" is con­ sidered by many to be Shakespeare's funniest comedy. It will be performed April 29, 30 and May 1 at 8 p.m. in the Johnsburg high school theatre-in-the- round. The story is about wealthy old Baptista, and his two daughters, Katherina and Bianca. Bianca, the younger daughter is beautiful and mild- tempered. Many men want to marry her. Her older sister, Katherina, has a wicked temper and is the shrew in the title of the play. Baptista has vowed that no one will marry his younger daughter until his older daughter has a husband. Petruchio, a newly arrived gen­ tleman in town, hears of Katherina and is instantly delighted at the prospect of "taming" her. Junior, Paul Metzger, will play Petruchio and Katherina will be played by sophomore actress, Kathy Wester. Senior Darcy Relle has been cast as Bianca. Hortensio and Lucentio are two of the men who want to marry Bianca and they will be played by seniors Mark Leslie and Terry Boyer. The role of Baptista will be played by senior Gary Selof. Senior Hoagy Dix will play Grumio, Petruchio's servant. Other cast members include Rob Schmidt, Norman Rokosz, Scott Tvaroh, Debbie Swinford, Joe Kalisek, Dave Rucker, and Cheryl Burkhardt. Also, Lisa Boyer, Laura Schratt, Margi Kanter, Diane Heard, Rich Handorf, Dan Williams, and Larry Zuley will play servants. "The Taming of the Shrew" is being directed by Roger Zawacki and Cheryle Olsen, faculty members at Johnsburg high school. Tickets for "The Taming of the Shrew" can be reserved in ad­ vance or can be purchased at the door. As usual, senior citizens will be ad­ mitted free of charge to the Thursday performance, April 29. East Campus Names 40 To National Honor Society The National Honor society members for 1982 were recently announced by Phillip Zack, advisor to the East campus chapter of the National Honor society.
