irtT««"V , c#" Fino«dn®" iwtt of trustees took another step in finalizing the development of the Route 14 Campus Access project. The board approved an agreement bet­ ween the college and the Illinois Department of Transportation commiting the college to financial resources in the amount of the estimated $210,000 cost of the project and commits IDOT to providing all necessary engineering work, letting bids and contracts and supervising the construction. The board also approved an agreement committing the following to making contributions: the McHenry County highway department, 160,000; the City of Cryital Lake, $20,416; the City of Woodittock, a 6 percent of the total comitrucUon cost or $12 000 whichever li lets; with MCC bearing I he remainder of the project cost Which would now be estimated to be III?,MM, Volem In record numbers went to I he |mi|In throughout the country, and In many placed proved the pollsters wrong. Thin was true particularly in the moat exciting governor's race in history In Illinois, where the two candidates, Republican James Thompson, incumbent, and his democratic challenger, Adlai Stevenson, and their followers are still unaware who will emerge as winner. The governor retained a 30,000 plus vote lead as the counting of votes continued while each side claimed eventual victory. Seniors who are being commended in the 1983 National Merit Scholarship program iriclude Lisa Mazzoni, Darren Cepulis and Sandeep Lahoti who placed among the top five percent of the particpants in the twenty-eighth nationwide competition. The next municipal election is set for April 12,1983. Terms expire for the following aldermen: Jack Pepping from Ward I, Wm. Busse from Ward 2, Michael Wieser from Ward 3 and Ronald Meurer from Ward 4. In an attempt to spur development in the McHenry Lakes Estates sub­ division, the McHenry City Council and new title-holders, Elgin Federal Savings and Loan, reached agree­ ment at a special meeting. John J. Brittain, attorney for Elgin Federal, explained that the financial institution had to foreclose on a loan on the property and now held title to the subdivision. The overall project is slated for a four-phase development schedule. It is planned to have a builder come in and build, on a custom basis, homes in the $47,500 to $60,000 range. McHenry county school district and library district officials will ask local assessors to increase local property tax assessments levels to the 33 1-3 percent of fair market value required bv state law. A time honored police technique, the foot patrol has been replaced by the need for rapid, immediate response in a squad car. But according to McHenry Police Chief George Pasenelli, the foot patrol, walking the beat, is one form of police work that progress has not been able to improve upon. For a little more than the last two months, officers of the McHenry Police department have resumed, to a limited extent, foot patrols in both commercial and residential areas of the city. The fight to retain the station agent at the Chicago and North Western (CNW) station in McHenry has ap­ parently been resolved in favor of the city. Agreement has been reached between the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA> and the CNW which calls for the retention of an RTA service agent at the McHenry station. Final approval was given to the county's 1982-83 budget when the - McHenry County board adopted appropriations in all funds totaling $17.5 million. Substantially high sewer bills in the City of McHenry became necessary for a number of different reasons. The primary reason for the rate increase is the revenue bond ordinance, which requires the city to maintain enough money to make the 10 annual bond payments for the 1979 sewer plant expansion. It was emphasized that the relocation of McHenry hospital and the proposed sewer system in McHenry Shores has not had any impact to date on the sewer rates. McHenry high school students soon will be building an airplane as a construction project of a new two- credit course offering adopted by UK- District 156 school board. The City of McHenry voted to enter into an engineering agreement with the firm of Baxter and Woodman to draw plans for a south sewage treatment plant and sewer system. For some time the city has an­ ticipated the construction of the facility on a tract of land between McHenry Shores and the pre- annexation southern McHenry boundary. The sewer system would service the Shores as well as other parts of the city, including the hospital. Indications from petitions in cir­ culation in all four of McHenry's political wards are that heated races will take place in the spring alder- manic election April 12. Five can­ didates have expressed interest in Ward I, including former Alderman William J. Bolger, who held that position for 22 years before making a decision not to seek reelection. His place was taken by Jack Pepping, who is retiring from office when his present term ends. Others with petitions out in Ward I are John Cunat, Thomas E. Miller, Nina Keen PAGE 11 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY 28,1983 and Bryce Klontz. In Ward 2 where George Harker resigned recently William Busse, who is now filling Harker's office through appointment, has indicated interest in a full term. Others expressing interest are Harold Sanford and Donald "Butch" Meyer, Jr. Ward 3 may have four candidates, including the present alderman, Michael Wieser. Others with petitions out are Frank McClatchey, Dave Gelwicks and Harry Semrow. In Ward 4 Ron Meurer hopes to be returned to His seat. He may be opposed by Ernest D. Schooley and Gary Snell. Over the protests of a number ot residents in attendance, the village board of Holiday .Hills authorized president, Patricia Hughes, to negotiate for a contract for the pur­ chase of a residential building to be used as a village hall and community building. ^ The half-million dollar dam repair project on Wonder Lake, which spurred controversy over the creation of a park district and the equity of the dues structure, is nearing completion. Dedication ceremonies have been scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 28. The need to find a place to store treated sludge from the sewage treatment facility during winter months was considered by the City Council. A site at the McHenry city garage might be suitable. Karen Salman, a board member of elementary District 15 for three and one-half years, was named president by acclamation of the board. Gerald Bunting was elected president pro tem and Joan Miller, secretary. A nine-year member of the Lincoln Cloverleafs 4-II club, Laurie Nank of McHenry is the state winner in the 1982 Illinois horse program. DECEMBER A recommendation from the Park committee to put a storage concession washroom building at Petersen park brought repeated and vocal opposition from some council members at the regular meeting. A committee also recommended that pay phones be installed at Petersen and Knox parks. The phones would be accessible to the public 24 hours a day. An amended motion to place phones in all three parks passed unanimously. Success Marks Fiesta * Days This photo, looking north on Green street, shows only a small number of the huge crowd that lined the thoroughfare during Sunday afternoon's Fiesta Days parade. From Main street, at the beginning of the march, to Pearl street park, where it ended, throngs of interested spectators acclaimed the 1982 event as one of the best McHenry has ever enjoyed. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD GUILTY VERDICT A McHenry county jury returned verdicts of guilty in charges against Tory Rachel, 24, of Wonder Lake, following a trial in 19th Judicial Circuit court, Woodstock.

JOHNSBURG LIBRARY OPENS--Library Director Randy Bellinger puts a few more books on the shelves of the Johnsburg library at 2404 Johnsburg road. The grand opening is set for Monday, Nov. 15, at 11 a.m. The opening of the library caps nearly two years of work in this direction.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD FAMILY HOMELESS It was the coldest night of the year Jan. 11, 27 below zero, not in­ cluding the wind chill factor, when fire broke out at about 3:30 a.m. in the home of Thomas Para, 5002 Maple Hill, McHenry. The Paras had left home with only the clothes they were wearing and were visiting family* when the fire occurred. High winds, up to 48 mph, and intense cold hampered the efforts of fire fighters from all three McHenry com­ panies, Nunda Rural, Richmond, Wonder Lake and Spring Grove. The tanker from Richmond was unable to get to the scene because of a three-car pile-up that blocked Route 31 at Harts road. OVERION CADILLAC- PONTIAC CADILLAC PONTIAC SALES DEPT. MON.
