Classified Page 4-11 Sports Pages 12-16 WL board fears revenue-sharing loss Page 2 Page 3 By Mark Baus pialadMtor Herald Neva Servicc ^ The Wonder Lake Village Board feels that President Ronald Reagan's budget cut requests may cause the village to lose some much-needed federal revenue sharing funds. At the board's last meeting, Village President Duane Zeman said the funds are vital to the village. "We use those funds to keep our street lights going in the village. If we lose those funds we'll be forced to make a five percent across-the-board cut in our budget." Zeman explained that the last FRS payment is expected in September, 1985. Another major topic of discussion at the board's last meeting was the Willows school. A1 Collins, chairman of the municipal planning commission for the villages and townships around Wonder Lake, updated the board on the school for maladjusted youths, which has received a conditional use permit to operate at a location on Thompson Road. Residents of Wonder 'Lake are reportedly concerned about the septic system and water supply at the Willows facility.

RAYMOND BOHNE • .• V, . • - s , m •• v> . --vi: MARIBETH ADAMS 1 said he told the county's Health and Agriculture Committee of those concerns. He said that he received assurances from Public Health Commissioner Richard Wissel that Glenn Peterson, building and zoning officer for the county, will verify that a proper septic system and water supply are present before an occupancy permit is issued. Collins also indicated that Wonder Lake Fire Chief Jack McCaffery and a state fire marshall will be involved in making sure the facility has a proper sprinkler system and fire reporting system. Collins said he had approached McHenry County Sheriff Henry Nulle about the security of the facility, and the sheriff reportedly in­ dicated that he would like to have some input into security arrangements. Collins also addressed the subject of the Wonder Lake dam, owned by the Master Property Owners Association. He said that the National Academy of Sciences in Washington D.C. has completed a study that said Maximum Flood protection status was only criteria to determine flood capacity. Currently, the dam is two feet above the 300-year flood capacity level, which is very close to the 500-year capacity level that is currently required. Collins went on to say the MPOA could save about $500,000 if the dam is able to stay at its current capacity level. The PMF is a figure based on one inch of rain per hour for 24 consecutive hours. "If you had that much rain it might not be the end of the world, but it would be close," Collins said. « . y The Nippersink Creek collects water from a 100 square mile area. The Army Corps of Engineers and the state multiplies the amount of water in the PMF scenario (about 24, inches) by the 100 square miles and uses that figure to estimate! how much water the dam must; hold. "That's ridiculous,/' com-} mented Collins. "The Nip-; persink Creek is very narrow In • most places. If we got that much' water, the creek would overflow i its banks and most of that water; ' would never reach Wonder! Lake," Collins said. The MPOA, concerned with! the PMF regulations, hired its, own survey team. The team,: recommended about $250,000 in dam improvements. In other business, Zeman! accepted the resignation of ; Village Clerk Linda Wollpert., No comment was made on the! reason for the resignation. JAMES MENTZER Four new to Crime Stoppers board City now taking signups for exercise programs \ Three directors and a new police coordinator have recently joined the McHenry Area Crime Stoppers board.
