Originally, the decision was in the hands of the McHenry County board. The change occurred when a petition was received by the board asking that the question of whether the tax should be discontinued be put ton the ballot. With assurance by a member of the State's Attorney's office that the petition was in order, the referendum became necessary by law. The issue of whether TB should be Dc l gfren taxing consideration over other favors abolishing the TB tax, was instrumental in circulating the petition asking that the proposition be put on the November ballot. The petition reads: "Shall the tax for care and treatment of persons afflicted with tuberculosis be discontinued." To get the referendum presented to the voters, 5 percent of the registered electors in two-thirds of the county's townships had to sign the petition before July 15. When the TB tax issue first was raised, Ms. Hughes said it should "be put into perspective...Potential health hazards, such as VD, hepatitis, measles and other communicable as serious as TB =7nm™Stole * 'but have nospeciaitaxes. Why should diseases first was raised in April. The matter came up because there was sufficient money left over in the TB fund last year to cover the needs of TB administration. At that time, the board decided not to levy and collect the tax, which brings in about $50,000 annually, for this year and it was suggested the tax be abolished per­ manently. Some board members believe the TB tax is an unnecessary burden to thetaxpayers. Board member George Lowe contends that "some cases of TB are extremely serious and require long- term care which brings financial hardship." Lowe argued against abolishment of the tax because he s&id "such hardships can be helped by the county's TB administration." Board members were told earlier this year that a recent bill passed by the state Legislature would enable the TB tax matter to be accomplished by a county board resolution. The new law allows the board to abolish both health and TB departments and re­ create a new combined division. The combination of health and TB departments, according to board member John O'Hagan, "is a devious way of shifting the TB tax over to fund the health department functions without the endorsement of the voters." Board member Ann Hughes, who A1 Smith of McHenry as Doolittle, Mike Erdman of Elgin as Freddy, Betty Leslie as Mrs. Higgins, Kris Palm of Elgin as Mrs. Pearce, Kathy Campbell of Crystal Lake as Mrs. Eynsford Hill, and Amy Dalton of Crystal Lake as Lady Boxington.

By Joanne Springman Shaw News Media Service The McHenry County Department of Planning has begun work on up­ dating the county land use plan projected for the year 2000, according to Steve Aradas, department director. Aradas said such plans usually are projected within a 20-year time frame because "anything much beyond 20 years is speculating," and the plans are updated about every three years. The plan is updated periodically, Aradas said, to maintain it as a "viable document." The present plan was adopted by the McHenry County Board in 1979. "We have the opportunity now to guide the growth of the county," Aradas said. "If we mess up, we can't go into Boone county and say, 'Will you give us a second chance?' So we have to do it right now. "Unlike a lot of other areas, this county still has time to grow, but that's not going to last forever," he added. The current plan shows the 391,610 acres in McHenry county as 65 per­ cent agricultural, with the remaining land divided between residential, commercial, industrial and recreational areas. The area is about one-half incorporated and one-half unincorporated. The 1980 census set the total county population at. 147,877 people, but the population projection for the year 2000 is 284,000 people. of greatest and southeast as potentially detrimental, is the loss of good agricultural land. "I like to eat, and I'm not being facetious," Aradas said. "We have an abundance of farm land here, so there's a tendency to say, 'We got a lot of it, so you can take another 30 acres.' Pretty soon, you find yourself with a shortage because a lot of people don't make the connection between the farm and the food on store shelves. "It's a 'Catch-22' situation," he said. "The more people that come in, the more farmland we use, but then we have more people to feed and less land to farm." To the end of creating a viable update, Aradas and other planning personnel have been meeting with various municipal officials to share mutual plans for the future. "We tell them that we would like to know what they are planning, and if there are conflicts, how can they be resolved to come up with a compatible plan," Aradas said. He added the county has a good working relationship with municipalities, and so far, county and municipal plans for land use in the future have been "substantially compatible." f irst United Methodist cnurch, McHenry, will officiate. Inurnment will be held in Silver Lake, Wis. Friends may call Friday morning one hour prior to the service. Memorials would be appreciated to the McHenry Rescue Squad. SALLY K. BENSON Mrs. Sally K. Benson, 49, McHenry, was pronounced dead on arrival at McHenry hospital Oct. 28. She was bom March 24, 1933 in Waukegan to Joseph and Helen Miller King. She was brought up in John­ sburg but moved later to Wheeling and DesPlaines. She returned to McHenry in 1976. Mrs. Benson was a member of St. Mary of the Assumption church and a member of the Catholic Order of Foresters St. Agatha's court 777, of St. John the Baptist church. She was a bookkeeper for many years in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Mrs. Benson is survived by two sisters: Sister Eleanor King S.S.S.F., McHenry; Mabel (Leo) Smith, ^Johnsburg; and" one brother: Leo (Mae) King, McHenry. Two nieces and four nephews also survive. Friends may call after 3 p.m. Friday Oct. 29 at the George R. Justen & Son funeral home. Rosary will be said at 3:15 p.m. Mass will be conducted Saturday at 11 a.m. at St. Mary of the Assumption church, McHenry. In­ terment will be at St. John the Baptist cemetery. Masses and McHenry Rescue Squad memorials would be appreciated. "We have yet to go to a municipality in the county where they weren't willing to listen or didn't want to help," Aradas said. "We're working with each other." In addition to meeting with municipalities, Aradas said related projects have been undertaken in other areas. These include completing an indepth county agricultural study, completing an inventory of natural resources and open space in the county and conducting a waste management study. Aradas estimated that the county land use pMfo update will be com­ pleted next summer. And he added that everyone should be concerned about land use in McHenry county. "If they're not," Aradas warned, "the county could end up looking like Schaumburg.' that disease be any different?" she said. " VIEWPOINT The Motorcycle Safety Foundation says wearing a helmet is an all-the- time habit every rider should have. Some riders who would never be without a helmet when they ride coast-to-coast, leave their helmets on the shelf when they make a quick run to the neighborhood store. Yet, the facts show that riding helmetless to the corner store may be the most dangerous move a rider can make. Most accidents happen within a five mile radius of the rider's home. And, over a third of the accidents happen near shopping centers. Riding a motorcycle safely takes excellent skills. It pays to protect yourself in every way you can. That means watching out for others on the road because they may not be wat­ ching out for you, making yourself as visible as possible, and wearing protective clothing, including a helmet, every time you ride. Helen M. Donnelly, of 3816 W Main ^ Metat of the county in the areaa of street, McHenry, was cited by, cry«al lake, Cary and Fox River McHenry County Sheriffs police for failure to yield the right-of-way following a two-car collision on Route 31, just north of Johnsburg road, v According to county police, the northbound Donnelly auto turned in front of a car driven by Catherine L. Schmitt, of 1217 Rollihg Lane, McHenry. Nancy J. Meyer, of 12 Oakwood, Prospect Heights, was cited for failure to yield the right-of-way after the car she was driving struck an auto at the intersection of Wright and Justen roads, south of McHenry. Ms. Meyer said she pulled out and did not see the auto driven by Terry L. Morrison, of 3805 Timothy, McHenry. Grove. He added that both those trends are moving along a line from Chicago, following the corridor of the routes of the Northwest Highway and Chicago it North Western Railroad. In order to guide the growth of the county, Aradas said, planners look at trends and determine whether they are "good" or "bad"; that is, beneficial or detrimental to the future of the area. One trend, which Aradas identified BUDDY'S WORKSHOP Ceiling Fans In Winter? A friend tells me that he uses his ceiling fan daring the winter and that it does a good job of redistributing heat downward from the ceiling. He says it even reduces his heating costs. My home Is very old, with high ceilings in every room. I'd like to reduce my heating costs, but I'm not sure he is right about the ceiling fan. Could he possibly be right? Manufacturers and dealers say that a ceiling tan will di­ rect the heat that rises to the ceiling across the ceiling and down the walls, thus pushing warm air down to the living area of the room. Before installation, get professional ad­ vice. The ceiling fan may not be as effective and cost-sav­ ing with central heating systems as when used in conjunc­ tion with wood burning stoves and floor heaters. Do tree roots grow in winter? Last spring, I had to have the sewer line cleaned because it was filled with small roots. A friend told me to use a copper sulfate solution regularly during winter. Is he right? The small feeder roots of trees do grow in winter. The soil is warm with depth and moisture promotes growth. JOHN L.
