PACE 18 • PLAINDEAI.EU • FRIDAY. COUNTY CONCERN ABOUT DRUG- ALCOHOL ABUSE (ContinuMl from pagm 1) agencies, six sodial service agencies, four hospitals, pharmacists, students and parents from throughout the county. Mrs. Hughes said the people at­ tending the workshop were divided into smaller work groups, which listed and prioritized statements that an overall policy should address. The groups focused on aspects and policies of dealing with drugs and alcohol from legal, educational, social service and health standpoints. What happens next is that the committee will sift through all of the comments and statements and evaluate the responses, Mrs. Hughes said. , Representatives of two county communities, Marengo and Wood­ stock, said they planivkl to meet and set up a local effort along the same lines as the task force. "We hope that the local groups will embark on their own program," Mrs. Hughes said. "Maybe we can act as a catalyst or provide some resources and new ideas." In April of this year, McHenry High School District 156 created a similar local task force in the city and is into the program development stage, ving already set long- and short- nge goals. Mrs. Hughes said the workshop was planned originally to be more like a one-day awareness seminar than a task force workshop. "The need for something more long- term became apparent," she said. "I feel something will come out of this, but I'm not sure just what form it will take" NO MONEY FOR COURTHOUSE EXPANSION (Continued from pof* 1> in some departments. "The area with the most problems is the sheriffs office. They're sitting toe-to-toe, and when the copying machine is run, everyone has to get off the phone," Cunat said. "It is terribly overcrowded and that is the first area we should look to," he ad­ ded. Cunat said the jail detention division is also a priority. "This area is presently over­ crowded on weekends and crowding will continue and become more acute as a result of the down economy and increased county, population," Cunat said. The committee recommended the purchase of modular cells to relieve be added to't^p^^^^tecilities. The estimatedeHtof these modules is $600,000. According to the committee report, the state's attorney's office has suf­ ficient space for. the time being and OCTOBER 22, 1982 can convert its library for additional office space. The committee reported there is some crowding in the courtrooms and chambers, but it seems that one more judge can be added without need for expansion. The most under-utilized areas of the building, according to the special committee, is the county board room. It was suggested that this room could hold traffic court, zohing board of appeals hearings and planning and zoning meetings and be put to full- time use, which would allow other space for utilization. The cost to provide storage space away from the existing building, such as an addition to the east side of the court services building in the form of a convertible shell to house records and election materials, was estimated at $250,000. V The estimated cost to remodel vacated and under-utilized space in the courthouse is $300,000. To relocate garage facilities to another location, the estimate is $250,000. The board chairman and board members as they unanimously ap­ proved the proposals commended the special committee for its work on the project. ICC TO DECIDE FATE OF TRACK SALE (Continued from pogo 1) to sell these assets and put the money to better use. In the general economic condition, we can't sit around on our assets." •j/' Hennerley saidlt was very difficult to organize investors because the price was not set until 90 days before the closing date. He pointed out that investors could not realistically be expected to put money in escrow or make a commitment and then call them on it after seven years. If the ICC grants the closing date extension and if the GLA can organize enough investors to raise the $1,300,321, the plan calls for the freight-passenger line to be operated by John E. Zerbel, a Milwaukee businessman. Zerbel operates three other rail lines. The GLA is comprised of business people in Wisconsin and Illinois and the municipalities of Lake Geneva, Wis., Fontana, Wis., Genoa City, Wis., and Richmond, 111. ORTON PLEADS "NOT GUILTY" (Continued from pogo 1) fight in the parking lot of Raymond's Bowling Alley, 3312 Chapel Hill road, Johnsburg. Orton and the victim were brothers- in-law. Both men were sons-in-law of the bowling alley owner, Raymond Kuna. They were married to Kuna's daughters. , No weapons were used in the fight between the two men, according to Chief Deputy Sheriff George Hendle. ; . He said the men had not been drinking in the bar and the fight ap­ parently started over a family dispute. Orton, who served in the Navy for four years, is a civilian employee at Great Lakes Naval Training Station. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from poge 1) long suffering ladies will officially havea day of their own to make up for centuries of abuse they've tolerated with remarkable good humor. The No. l question now is, "Will the U.S. Senate be as brave as the House? Sponsors in the House won't be able to lead a renewed fight - both are leaving Congress this year. ' Such is the luck of mothers-in-law. And then there's the Farmer's Almanac which arrived in a recent day's mail. There's the place to end the hassling over what kind of winter awaits us. No measuring the thickeness of the caterpillar's coat, or the number of nuts hoarded by the squirrels. Here we have an authority' that extends back to 1798. The 1963 Almanac begins with reassurance that it will be relatively mild in our area, with little snow until about Chrisrmas. But then look out! The winter will be quite severe and much snowier than usual beginning the new year. "Persistent cold in January should bring severe winter conditions, with above average snowfall in spite of below average precipitation.(They didn't explain that phenomenon). February in the Chicago area is expected to be cloudier, warmer and snowier than usual, but a return to more wintry conditions is anticipated for March. But you don't have to believe the prediction. In whose judgment do you place greater trust - the Almanac or the beautiful Monarch butterfly we saw blithely soaring in Monday's breeze. He has to make it to Mexico before winter sets in and he didn't seem a bit concerned. We're betting on the butterfly. His kind have been making it on their own long before the ink dried on the first 1792 Almanac. KAF ¥ School Boosters Sponsor Sales Two Johnsburg Junior high school clubs - the Wildcat Boosters and the Music Boosters - are sponsoring a cheese, sausage and popping corn sale this week.

MENTALLY RETARDED DAYS Scores and scores of Illinois* mayors, town presidents, and city managers have issued proclamations the weekend of Oct. 29-30 of Columbus Mentally days in their communities. by Angela Burden Shaw Media News Service A resolution on the proposed U.S. 12 bypass at Richmond was adopted Tuesday by McHenry County board. The resolution, recommended by the board's transportation committee, requests the Illinois Department of Transportation "to review traffic projections based on current driving habits and a reduced level of development in the county" before undertaking additional studies of the Richmond (FAP 420) U.S. 12 bypass. The bypass of Richmond was proposed in the recommended long- range transportation plan for McHenry county, adopted in June, 1981, by a majority vote of the county board. However, the Richmond village board has since adopted a resolution indicating its opposition to- the Route 12 bypass around Rich­ mond. The county board's resolution also asks IDOT, before undertaking the additional studies, to determine the general economic impact of a bypass on the Richmond business community and to determine improvements necessary to existing U.S. 12 through the village, in order to satisfactorily carry the revised future traffic. The resolution noted that the travel: habits of the motoring public and the economic climate have both changed since preparation and adoption of the county's long-range transportation plan. The county board on Tuesday also approved an ordinance to reduce maximum speeds limits on four roads in the county. The limit was reduced from 55 mph to 45 mph for a half-mile stretch on Johnsburg road, from Riverside drive to Spring Grove road, and reduced from 45 mph to 35 mph for an ap­ proximate quarter-mile portion on Roberts road between Route 176 and a point 1,000 feet south of Route 176. The 55 mph maximum speed limit was reduced to 50 mph for a two-mile portion of Mason .Hill road, from Crystal Lake-Walkup road to the Dorr Township line, and reduced from 45 mph to 35 mph for a one-mile stretch on Ringwood road, from Wilmot road to Fox Lake road. In addition, the board adopted a resolution seeking to have the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority assume the responsibility for any and all deck rehabilitation required on any jrf the Toll Highway overpass structures located on county and townshiproads in McHenry county.

Tonnrins HOUSE IS JUST SMARt TOMORROW ITU •BE BRUliANIB Nobody has to tell you what's happening to the cost of energy today. It's all up, up, up. So if you're looking for a new house, it makes a whole lot of sense to look for one with an Energy Smart sign out front. One that uses energy like a miser. That keeps the cost down, down, down. That means a house with double-glazed windows. \̂ th ceilings insulated to a minimum rating of R-19. With walls insulated to at least R-ll. With exterior openings carefully weather-stripped and caulked. „ And with an Electric Heat Pump instead oi a central air conditioner and furnace. j That's the key. The Heat Pump. A All summer long it works just life central air condi­ tioning. But in the winter it reverses itself. It takes heat from the air outside and pumps it inside to keep you warm. What's more, the Heat Pump does that so efficiently it provides at least 50 percent more energy (heat) than the energy (electri­ city) it uses. And that's very, very smart when you consider that the cost of natural gag has gone Better vet, it'll be downright brilliant when natural gas gets deregulated or OFEC bumps up the price of oil a few more times. ̂ .
