Althoff said that to operate efficiently, a unit should run at 55 per cent of capacity and the unit in West campus was operating at only 32 to 35 per cent of capacity.

However, additional spraying will be done because there is money left in the Revenue Sharing fund from abatement funds not used during the past two years. Pepping stated, "Once you have a frost, then you don't have to worry about it." Therefore, it was estimated that on the present schedule, possibly three or four more sprayings might be necessary. Each spraying costs $300. The Council passed a resolution which appropriated $50,000 to be used from the Motor Fuel Tax fund. This money will be used to reim­ burse the General fund for maintenance and repair of city streets and highways as well as snow plowing expenses. Following a discussion on how long the city should wait before shutting off water to persons who do not pay their water bills, it was decided to operate as other public utilities do - failure to pay one billing period will result in water shut- off. Past experience indicates "ihev won't pay until you go out with a wrench", City Clerk Terry Wilde reported. Alderman Hromec asked Alderman Datz, chairman'of the McHenry City Plan com­ mission, to inform the Council of plans presented by Brittany Builders regarding land recently annexed west of the city. Datz reported the Plan commission merely went through the initial step of broken windows as the result of rocks being tossed at them during the early morning hours Tuesday. A thermopane window was broken by use of an air rifle at the home of Joseph Begel, 5704 Wonder Woods drive, Wonder Lake, Sunday evening about 10 o'clock. A boat collision on Wonder Lake Monday afternoon resulted in damage to both boats. Andrew J. Sobucki of 10435 Avenue E, Chicago, told authorities he was pulling a skier when his craft was hit by a booat operated by Michael C. Martin of 5340 Artesian, Chicago. Martin said he turned to avoid the skier being pulled by Sobucki's boat and a collision occurred. No one was injured in the mishap. getting some ideas on what they were planning. Everything David Ladd (one of the partners of Brittany Builders) presented was in accordance with the regulations under the city's Subdivision Control ordinance, Datz said. ' . He pointed out that the developers would have to go to the City's Zoning Board of Appeals next and if the zoning is approved there, they would be in a position to proceed with complete engineering studies for final presentation to the Plan commission and the City Council. Stanek said that basically, the plans as presented called for eighty-eight 10-thousand square foot lots, curb, gutter, sidewalks and blacktopped streets. They are seeking R-3 zoning, he said. Mrs. Hromec informed the Council that there are many interested citizens in West Shore Beach, as well as the Lakeland Park Property Owners association, and residents in the west end of Lakeland Park regarding this proposed subdivision. She expressed concern over the fact that plans,presented by Brittany Builders at the Plan commission meeting "con­ tained many violations ac­ cording to the Soil and Water Conservation district and the McHenry County Plan com­ mission". She also mentioned that there are two flood plain areas in the proposed sub­ division which could produce flood hazard conditions. „ "The only reason I have looked into this so extensively is that there are flood hazards here as stated by this report that was made on this par­ ticular property by the McHenry County Regional Planning commission*" Mrs. Hromec emphasized. "Ac­ cording to their (the developers) intents, they are planning things which would violate existing state and federal laws," she continued. "That is why I am personally concerned," she stated. Alderman Ray Smith felt Mrs. Hromec's concern was premature since the proposed subdivision still has many steps to go through before final plans can be presented to the Council for approval. "Let's not look for some trouble that isn't here yet," Smith said. Aldermen Datz and Pepping concurred with Smith in that strict zoning regulations would have to be met before R-3 zoning is granted. Mayor Stanek mentioned that at their presentation, "It was stated by Brittany Builders, they would ask for no variations from our existing ordinance." Mrs. Hromec said she had been told by both the McHenry County Plan commission and the Soil and - Water Con­ servation district that, "anyone can .do anything they want unless challenged or unless sued. Brittany hasn't done anything yet but they have talked about it," she concluded. It was the consensus that the Council would wait until further plans were presented. A zoning hearing on the matter is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 22. Mayor Stanek reported on a meeting held between city officials and a group of citizens from the Fox Ridge Con­ dominium association. It requested that the Council consider accepting dedication of the right-of-way road to their private drive which goes through from the apartments to the condominiums. The city would then be responsible for maintenance and repair costs andu upkeep of that roadway. Alderman Harker, chairman of the Streets and Sidewalk committee, informed aldermen that the roadway in no way conforms to the city's specifications for normal city streets. "It is nothing but an elongated driveway," he ex­ plained. After some discussion, it was the consensus that the Council is not interested in accepting the roadway In other questions presented by the Fox Ridge association, it was revealed that the city cannot impose speed limit regulations on private property. Regarding another question. City Attorney Narusis stated that the city can enforce "No Parking" in areas designated as fire lanes or at fire hydrants "if the city passes an ordinance and establishes a consentual relationship with the property owners." The association was also informed that if members have any concerns regarding inoperative, abandoned, lost, stolen or unclaimed vehicles, they should notify the city police department and it will be handled. Mayor Stanek instructed the Street and Sidewalk committee to look into the question of whether or not the city should charge the police department with enforcing "No Parking" restrictions in fire lanes and for abandoned vehicles on private Noted Educator In Keynote Address As School Opens In The Fabric Dept.

Aug. 26, as part of the district's pre school in- service activities. The presentation concluded two days of preparation work to get ready for the 1975-76 school year. Dr. Fantini has taught on all levels of education from elementary to college. Presently, he serves as dean of the School of Education at New York State university. Fantini's main concern is that public education needs to be updated if educators can expect to provide quality for all students and parents. He suggested that in the past students were taught though they were all alike. Those who did not succeed were con­ sidered losers and were usually identified as "not normal." This one teaching method approach is no longer ac­ ceptable when consideration is given to the number and yariety of students presently attending public schools. Based upon these thoughts, Fantini asks, "How can we keep the best of what we have and move forward?" In an­ swering this question, he emphasizes that, "60 percent of property. Alderman Schaedel also asked that the Street and Sidewalk committee check into the possibility of establishing a parking ordinance whereby the police department would be empowered to issue tickets to persons who park cars in the fire lanes at the McHenry Market Place shopping center on Route 120. The committee was asked to make a report on these matters at the next meeting. It was announced that a Sewer and Water committee meeting would be held Monday, Sept. 15, at 7 p.m. prior to the regularly scheduled Council meeting at 8 p.m. ALDERMAN STRICKEN City Alderman Laverene Hromec was admitted to the intensive care unit of McHenry hospital early Wednesday morning. She was taken to the hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad. Hospital authorities said she was transferred from the intensive care unit Thursday morning and was reported in good condition. the public like schools as they are and they have a right to keep them that way." But he also suggests that many believe that young people are not deceiving quality education. Those who are dissatisfied should be provided with programs or learning options they feel offer quality to students. Fantini's conclusion is that public education must plan for the future through options. He clearly states that these options should not be characterized by frills and fads, but rather, they should emphasize basic lear­ ning. It is his strong feeling that any optional approach should include some provision for a traditional program^ with structure for students. Another point , made by Fantini included the need to include the community, and particularly parents, in plan­ ning efforts to improve education. The thoughts which were shared with District 156 staff members Tuesday have been widely publicized through Education by Choice, a book written by Fantini, In con­ clusion, Dr. Fantini noted that after his review of District 156 planning, he leaves McHenry with " a great deal of hope for the future." His comment was in reference to the district's stated goal to include ^optional education as a part of future planning. Like Fantini, district educators agreed that public schools need to avoid fads and emphasize a more basic ap­ proach to providing each student with the possible education. CHARGES LODGED AGAINST DRIVERS (Continued From Page 1) mond road, McHenry, was stopped on Fairview road at the intersection when the Dockham auto made a wide turn from Chapel Hill road and hit Schramm's car. The Dockham auto then left the scene heading north on Wilmot road. Schramm pursued it and ob­ tained the license plate num­ ber. Dockham was located at his residence, where he ad­ mitted hitting an auto at the intersection. Both drivers were ticketed in a collision on Bull Valley road just west of Fleming road near Woodstock Aug. 29. Charles Simmerman of 5307 West lane, McHenry, was cited for disobeying a no-passing zone and Caroline Bilderback of 206 S. Fleming road, Woodstock, was ticketed for failure to signal when required. According to county police, Simmerman was west-bound on Bull Valley road when he came upon the Bilderback auto, which appeared to be stopped since its brake lights were on. He started to go around the car when it turned left and impact occurred. He said there were no turn signals in operation at the time. Miss Bilderback told officers the turn signal was not in operation because it was broken. A one-car accident at the intersection of Ringwood road and Meadow Hill, near Pistakee Highlands, resulted in a ticket being issued to Mar­ shall Waddington of 1215 W. May, McHenry, for driving too fast for conditions. According to officers, Waddington was east-bound on Ringwood road Wednesday night about 9:30 when the rear end of his car began to swerve. He lost control of the vehicle and ran off the road, damaging mail boxes, a culvert and two lawns. Zoning Change Requested For Light Industry Ludwig Dairy Corp., Francis Crocker and Leonard Binski, the latter doing business as B&C Construction company, have petitioned the McHenry county zoning board of appeals for a reclassification of property. It is located on Rt. 31, on the West side of the highway, south of McHenry. The petitioners request a change in zoning from "F" Farming district to "I-L" Light Industrial, to conduct at business of carpentry and millwork manufacture, to supply other contractors and retail customers. The hearing will be held in the city hall of Crystal Lake, 121 N. Main street, at 2 o'clock Wednesday, Sept. 10, when anyone desiring to be heard may be present.
