Recommend Airstrip Permit Shamrock Beef Cattle corporation vice-president and manager, Vernon E. Schiller, second from right, discusses the farm's request for a conditional use permit to establish a private airstrip on the farm's property at the recent zoning hearing. The McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously Tuesday to recommend approval of the request for the operation and maintenance of the grass strip on property located between Draper and Curran roads outside of McHenry. Schiller is explaining a detailed map of the area showing take-off and landing approach patterns to members of the Zoning board and observers who were present at the hearing. The County board will make the final decision on whether to grant or deny the request for conditional use. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD 25 TO 35 YEARS ON MURDER CHARGE (Continued from page 1) Assistant State's Attorney Danitl Mengeling, who prosecuted the case, asked that n sentence of more than 14 yaara be imposed "A longer •enlenee is necessary to be iimtlalenl with the ends of HMllOf," Mid Mengeling. IHritnat Attorney Elmen •'•plained that the minimum sentence should be imposed ha led on the background of the caat and the character of the defendant During the trial, it was stated that Mrs Morris had been iwaten on several occasions by had been-* drinking heavily on the day of the incident and the defense argued that she was not criminally responsible for the action. Judge Cooney explained the basis he used in determining the sentence, including the maximum and minimum prescribed by law, the life lost, the seriousness of the offense, the responsibility of the sen­ tence to be consistent with the ends of justice and the age of the offender. He also took into account the sociological background of the offender and the victim, but did not consider the prior criminal record of Mrs. Morris, which included two minor misdemeanor convictions, or her financial status. After explaining the basis for sentencing, the judge deliberated momentarily before asking Mrs. Morris to step forward. ~ Judge Cooney then sentenced Mrs. Morris to serve not less than 25 years or more than 35 Wonder Jlake 9nn • Dinner • Cocktails • Family Dinner "Live Western Music" FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NITES CARRY OUT ORDERS!

REFERENDUM TO DETERMINE SCHOOL PLAN (Continued from page 1) West campus, planning is already taking place for two four-year high schools. The board of education has en­ dorsed a plan to move toward implementing that concept. Briefly, the plan creates two four-year high schools, one at East campus and one at West campus, with boundary lines drawn to equalize enrollment. Because of the differences in facilities, this plan will entail bussing between campuses. If the April 8 referendum wins voter approval, work could begin on additions to West campus which would expand the building to a comfortable capacity of 2,300 students, the same number of students which both campuses now hold with "overcrowded conditions. Plans for the additions in­ clude major expansion to four areas of the building and minor remodeling within the existing building. The plans call for an additional level above the center section ot the existing building. This would add six­ teen classrooms and four seminar rooms. A three-story section would be added to the west side of the building, providing thirty-two more classrooms plus seminar rooms and offices. A smaller addition would be constructed to the south of the current pool, ad­ ding needed non-spectator physical education teaching stations. A 50,000 square-foot vocational section would be constructed on the southwest corner of the current building. These additional shops would allow the district to expand its present vocational program. "With 61 percent of McHenry graduates ending their education at the twelfth grade, vocational education is par­ ticularly important in McHenry," according to Dale Halgren, the district's Vocational director. "Our current facilities are simply inadequate to offer the depth and breath of a vocational program which would meet this community's needs." The proposed vocational '•education addition would allow the district to offer to all of its students programs in auto mechanics, woods, machining, electricity and electronics, power mechanics, drafting and graphics. In its current facilities the district is able to offer only some of these courses, and in many cases, can offer them at only one of the two campuses. Total cost of the additions is $5,453,749. This cost would be split three ways, with at least $1 million coming from sale of East campus, $2.3 million coming from the state's Capital Development board and the remaining $2.15 million coming from the sale of bonds. The bond sale would increase local taxes $.18 per $100 of assessed evaluation. For example, if a house had a market value of $30,000, with an assessed evaluation of $10,000, the increase in taxes would be $18. Polls will be open Saturday, April 8, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. at East campus (Precinct 1), Lakemoor Community center (Precirfet 2), McCullom Lake Beach bbuse (Precinct 3 V, and Harrison grade school (Preqlnct 4). )lications for absentee batfbts may be obtained from the district's Central office on Main street between 8:30 a.m.. and 4 p.m. Absentee ballot applications will be accepted by mail no later than 4 p.m. April 3. They will be accepted in person through 4 p.m. April JEEP STRIKES BOAT FLOATING ON FOX RIVER (Continued from page 1) in the city due to the icy road conditions Saturday, most of them causing minor property damage. Raymond J. Bieschke, 4405 Dennis boulevard, told city police that he was northbound on Meadow lane when an ap­ proaching car entered his lane of traffic in an effort to avoid cars parked along the street. Bieschke stated that he applied his brakes to avoid colliding with the oncoming car but slid on the ice striking an unoccupied parked car belonging to Charles J. Leinhard, 1618 N. Meadow lane. A car traveling behind Bieschke, driven by Rosemary Holas, 4505 W. Shore drive, saw the vehicles involved in the accident stopped in the street and applied her brakes and skidded partially into a' driveway to avoid striking the vehicles. David A. Hobson, 310 N. Timothy lane, was driving a truck behind the Holas auto when he noticed the car at­ tempting to stop. Hobson ap­ plied his brakes but spun around on the ice, striking the rear of the Holas vehicle with the rear of his truck. No injuries were reported and no tickets were issued following the two mishaps. Barry A. Paulsen, 2608 Knob Hill road, was ticketed for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident following a rear end collision on Route 120 March 22. $ Paulsen told police that he was westbound when he sud­ denly noticed the car ahead of him had stopped in traffic. Paulsen applied his brakes but could not avoid the collision with the stopped car, driven by K£vin R. Miller, 219 S. Barreville road. Neither driver was injured in the accident. HEAD CANCER CRUSADE (Continued from page 1) "We need to make people aware that more lives could be saved with earlier treatment," asserted Klein. "We constantly hear of those who die because of cancer. This brings sadness to our lives but the message we want to spread is that positive effort can reduce the loss of lives in the many cases where early detection takes place.

KAISER PHOTO Happy letters and sad letters arrive. From Jan and Joe Vetere of Wonder Lake - "Dear Estelle, We had just moved here from Michigan, and being used to having a pet, our home was very quiet and empty. We got Sandy from the Bartlett family who had her in their home as a foster pet. Sandy adjusted beautifully and has brought so much love and enjoyment to our home. We share the same feelings the Cobb family expressed in their letter to you. All of our hap­ piness (and we're sure other families of adopted pets will agree) is owed to Helping Paws. If you didn't have such a fantastic organization with caring and loving people we wouldn't have Sandy; nor would she have us. Thank you for caring!" when a danger signal is detected." Klein said progress against cancer has been recorded during the past quarter cen­ tury. In the early 1900's few cancer patients had any hope of long-term survival. In the 1930's, less than one-in-five were alive at least five years after treatment. In the 1950's it was one-in-four. Now the ratio is one-in-three. "The gain from one-in-four to one-in-three represents about 58,000 people each year," added Klein. In terms of those who could be helped, but aren't, the American Cancer society says this: Of every six people who get cancer, two will be saved and four will die. But of the four who will die, one might have been saved with earlier diagnosis and prompt treat­ ment. The other three of the four will die of cancer which cannot yet be controlled. Only the results of research can save those patients. Summarized Klein as he urged people to become more aware of the potential to save lives: "This means half of those who get cancer could and should be saved. The im­ mediate goal of cancer control in the United States is saving 350,000 lives, or half those who get cancer each year." PAGE 19 - PLAIN DEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH 31, 1178 before Christmas our cat went out and never returned. Through the agony of losing him, our family has found out how different and special he was to us. His name is Timmy. He is a gray and white long­ haired adult malevHe is easily identified by his special talent of rolling over for his dinner. He is extremely gentle and can be carried like a baby. He is missing a front tooth. He has a sort of pug face, white around the mouth. We have kept his Christmas presents in the hope that he might some day come home, and we check the HP "Found" column weekly. We called on several "found" cats hoping it might be Timmy, but no luck so far. I suppose we took it for granted that he would always be here. We loved him,' and now we worry and wonder if he met an untimely fate, or is just lost. If only we could be allowed just one more chance with Timmy we would take more precautions. Through hurt we sometimes learn." , Let's hope there is still a chance for Timmy to return. Write Dear Estelle, c-o Helping Paws, PO Box 205, Crystal Lake, 60014, about your pets.

From Cynthia Livermore of Woodstock - "Dear Estelle: Thanks to one of your longtime members and my good friend, Lois Peck, we visited one of your volunteers in Harvard, and came home with "Babe" in September of 1974. Enclosed is a close-up as she poses for our teenage son. Also, a Christmas snapshot of Babe, Monty, Ole Olson (the yellowish cat), and Sister (the black blue at the lower right) checking out their gifts from Santa. Ole Olson isn't a Helping Paws special like Babe - just a beautiful kitten we couldn't resist. He and Babe are the same age and the best of friends. He is neutered, she is spayed. Thank you again for Babe and the great work your orggptatiott ia doing.! $ From * JaoMtRosman of woodstwfw w-VJ»mr~Estellc Weekly HP offers a service to pet owners by publishing a list of lost dogs and cats. To the average reader this list is a routine resume of size, color, age and type of animal, but to the owner of a lost pet it provokes an agonizing memory or points an accusing finger. As the owner of a lost dog, I relive each week, after reading the column, the last moment when I saw our 10-year companion, the moment when I finally realized he was not returning as he always had, and my penance when I visited the Animal Control center in search of him. Friends and acquaintances offer consoling stories or possible theories. They say, ailing pets prefer to go off by themselves to die, or It's better to have your pet disappear than to have an old friend put down, or Think of all you did for the animal while h< was living. However, the fact remains that the animal is gone; you were responsible and the guilt lingers. In my case the sadness is greater because I am unable to punctuate the end of my love story with McGee with a period - only a question mark. As an owner of a lost pet will tell you, the search goes on when the mind is allowed to wander, and the questions remain unanswered."
