WOMAN'S MUKDER PROBE CONTINUES PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2,1983 was pleased with the results," a beautician said. The dead woman, formerly em­ ployed by the McHenry County High­ way department, had been declared legally blind some time ago and her \ husband, a retired Woodstock city 'employee, always accompanied her when she left their home. A family friend said Barter had taken his wife to the beauty shop and picked her up late Friday afternoon. "He settled her in for the night and went out for his usual game of cards," the friend said. Reportedly, the victim's husband was allowed into the residence after the murder to collect some clothes. "He said the apartment 'looked like a slaughterhouse,' " a source said. TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNALS MAY BE MANDATED UNIFORM (Continued from pag* 1) merely provide uniform traffic controls in the city. "Who pays for the survey?" asked Aid. Raymond Smith (3rd). The chief said the best information available was that the city would be responsible for the survey. He com­ mented that a representative of one firm was coming to McHenry to take a tour of the city and give a ballpark cost estimate of the survey. Aid. Smith asked if this visit would cost anything. "The most it will cost is a cup of coffee," Pasenelli said. "If not, he's out of the office in five minutes." The chief said he would have more information at the next council meeting. In other police business, the council passed a motion to participate in a police mutual aid agreement set up by the McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster agency. Similar to mutual aid agreements between Fire departments, this agreement applies to times of disaster, not everyday business, when outside help is requested by a police chief. City Attorney Bernard Narusis said the agreement essentially sets the "nitty-gritty" details of disaster procedure.

He continued his medical training to be one of the first paramedics in the McHenry Area. According to Phil Gust, director of paramedics for McHenry hospital, Hodges is, at 65, still certified and to (Continued from pago 1) Kim reportedly called the police after the attack. Mrs. Barter, legally blind and an invalid, reportedly suffered a split skull in the attack. Although an autopsy was conducted Saturday and death apparently was caused by the beating, the coroner said Monday the exact cause of death will not be determined until test results are available. Woodstock Police department is investigating the murder, with assistance from the Crystal Lake Police department's detective division. Woodstock Police Chief William Patrick said there are no suspects and the murder weapon has not been found. Patrick said there were "good reasons" for not calling on county sheriff's detectives for assistance, but he refused to elaborate. Many Woodstock residents have expressed their concern about the weekend murder, especially since another brutal murder about six mbnths ago, where a Woodstock man was knifed to death in his home, has not been solved. Before the homicide last August, there had not been a murder in Woodstock for some six years. "We're really concerned. You just don't expect an attack like this in a home a few blocks from downtown," a relative of the murdered woman said Sunday. "It's a big worry for me, because that other murderer is still free," said the relative's wife. 2'This is scary ... it really is," a Woodstock high school employee said. Kim, the injured girl, is a sophomore at the high school, where educators and friends describe her as a bright and intelligent student. A school friend of Kim's said she talked to Julie between 5 and 15 minutes before 7 p.m. Friday. "Everything was fine when I talked with her. We were going to the basketball game and dance at school," the friend said. Kim stayed overnight with the friend on the two previous Fridays. "But we didn't have any overnight arrangements set for this week," the fri£nd said. According to the girlfriend, "Julie, academically, is very bright. She is very sweet and caring. She didn't have any enemies. She got on well with everybody at school and had lots of friends. "It's a terrible shame. She's never done anything to hurt anyone else. In fact, Julie has always been there to help. It's tragic." She said Julie was not active in sports. "She tended to her academics. Julie was strong on that." Friends of Mrs. Barter said she was in good spirits Friday afternoon when the best of his knowledge the oldest she went to a Tbcal beauty Sttup IftjuliiHu weekly appointment. "She'd had a medical checkup and Born in Cairo, 111., Hodges worked for the Modine corporation for 33 years before his retirement last year. Prior to moving to McHenry in 1962, Hodges had been a first aid instructor for the Red Cross in Paducah, Ky. The IHIA is a "not-for-profit organization, headquartered in Springfield, and which has offices in each county. The organization offers health insurance at low cost to those people who do not qualify for group rates, like the self-employed or those in businesses with 10 employees or less. Inherent to Illinois, she noted that there is no similar organization in any other state. Each county office undertakes various philanthropic projects. In McHenry county, the IHIA office has provided nursing scholarships to high school students and scholarships for those people over 35 years of age who are seeking to return to the medical field. The office has also donated money and CPR mannequins to the county Emergency Services and Disaster agency, assisted in the Nursing program at Valley-Hi nursing home near Woodstock and helped with various blood drives in the county. SET WATER" RATE HEARING (Continued from pago 1) Mayor Stanek proposed that the project be rebid and the city approach four property owners, who would benefit from the improvements, for possible participation in the project. "It's improper. These people have divulged their prices," said Aid. Raymond Smith (3rd). "I'll go along with it, but we should be more careful." A motion to scrap all three bids and readvertise passed unanimously. The amendments to the sewer and water line ordinance concerning various loopholes, which has stirred much debate in council, passed 6 to 1. During the last year, the council has debated iftayor Stanek's amendments to the ordinance at length. Most notably, some councilmen took ex­ ception to the amendment to require the property owner to pay the cost of installing a service line from the property line to the water main. Opponents of the amendment said the city should bear this cost and the owner pay from property line to the home. Voting in favor of the motion were Aldermen Pepping, Nolan, Busse, Datz, Gelwicks, Serritella and Meurer. Voting against was Aid. Smith. Mayor Stanek reported that Illinois Coil Springs was considering applying for funds to relocate some divisions from Michigan and Wisconsin in the McHenry area. The proposed relocation would provide an estimated 150 jobs. The grant, if approved, would come from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs epresentfct&es will appear at the next council* 1 meeting, Feb. 7, with more in­ formation. The council also voted to get rid of one of two old trucks in the Public Works department and keep the other on a trial basis. Late last year, the council pur­ chased two new trucks, ostensibly to replace the two old ones. Recently, the idea of keeping at least one brought some questions from Councilmen Edward Datz (2nd) and Ronald Meurer (4th). The city bought two new vehicles because they were told the others were in bad shape, Aid. Meurer said. "Now you're recommending that we save one?" Aid. Datz said, "We've got more trucks than we know what to do with. We agreed to buy new to replace the old." Those in favor of keeping one of the old trucks say it could be used for hauling dirt and stones in winter, which should not be done with plowing and sanding equipment on the trucks. Aid. Meurer's motion to get rid of the two old trucks was seconded by Aid. Datz, but Aid. Smith made an amendment to the motion, which was also seconded. Aid. Smith advocated keeping one truck for at least a couple months. "If we made a mistake, we can get rid of it," Aid. Smith said. The motion to get rid of one vehicle and keep the other passed 6-2. Aldermen Datz and Meurer opposed. The council voted to purchase two generators, one new and one used, for emergency and other uses. The new generator will cost $7,251 and the used generator, $985. A unanimous vote approved the re- subdivision of the Gradishar property on S. Route 31, across from the hospital site. The purpose was for financing reasons, Gradishar said.

KAF MEDICAL CENTER IN CONTENTION FOR AMES FUNDS (Continued from page 1) funds for the construction and maintenance of hospital facilities. Both hospitals, which have building projects under way, claim they serve the Crystal Lake community and want the court to determine whether they are entitled to the money. Administrators at both facilities have stressed the lawsuits should not be interpreted as an attempt to prevent the use of the trust fund for alternate uses for the residents of Crystal Lake. The hospitals are not the only in­ stitutions vying for the Ames Trust funds, which reportedly amount to about $700,000. McHenrv County College, Crystal Lake Park District and Crystal Lake Public Library are among others who have proposed applying for the funds. Ames directed that if a hospital association or foundation for con­ struction of a hospital in or near the city of Crystal Lake was not established within 20 years of his death, the funds could go to "whatever other public or worthwhile charitable cause or project the trustees may consider for the best interest and welfare of the people residing in or near the city of Crystal Lake." * Ames died Feb. 8, 1963 and the 20- year time period mentioned in his last will and testament will soon come to a close. Two Injured In Crash the financial institutions will be buried! One ray of hope remains. Congress passed this law and Congress can repeal it. At least one senator has come up with a bill that- would strike that section of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility act of 1982 that requires the 10 percent withholding on interest and dividends. Several bills have also been introduced in the House. One has 60 sponsors from both parties, including Rep. Philip M. Crane, who recently became our 12th Congressional district representative. Besides the personal loss to people, withholding is one of the worst things that can be done when an effort is under way to get the economy moving again Instead of providing additional tivcf to save, which is a key iclof to^fecoriomic growth, Congress voted to literally rob the saver of Kitchen Cabinet (jjm midContinent 4it Cabinetry RENAISSANCE OAK CABINETS PLUS eeeeeee NOW...
