> PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER -FRIDAY. MAY 5. 1*78 OPPOSITION - TO FENCE REGULATION- (Continued from page 1) house is situated with the front facing the long side of his lot. Because of the wording of the ordinance, his side yard is actually his front yard. Alderman Raymond Smith was concerned if granting the ordinance may be just for the benefit of an individual or whether it would affect all corner lots. 1 "If we grant this variation," warned Alderman George Marker, "we will be opening a whole can of worms. The vote on the variation ended in a tie, with Rogers, Schooley, William Bolger and Vincent Adams in favor and Smith, Harker, Elizabeth Nolan and Edward Datz op­ posed. Mayor Joseph Stanek broke the vote by voting to grant the ordinance. The new ordinance, which bans a fence on the side yard or front yard of corner lots, presented by Harker, was then passed. In other Council news, a bid of $18,980 to install the well pump at well number 6 from l^yne-Western cCompany was accepted and should be com­ pleted within seventy days. The water main connection from the new well to the well house will be installed by Lakeland Construction com­ pany within thirty days. Its bid of $11,365 was ac­ cepted. Proposals for the installation of electrical equipment at the new well will be secured by city engineers, Baxter and Woodman. Holtgren Electric company presented a proposal for the electrical work of $6,450 but two more proposals will be obtained before the contract for the work is awarded. An ordinance was passed banning parking on the north side of Washington street. The elimination of parking on one side of the street was necessary to make Washington street eligible for federal funds to be used in its repair. Clean-up week in the city has been tentatively scheduled June 12 to June 16. According to Superintendent of Public Works Fred Meyer, Clean-up week is delayed until school is out so that the extra summer help being hired will be able to assist in the clean-up. By a vote of seven to one, the Council voted tos limit the number of students hired for summer work by the city to fifteen for the Public Works department, unless the department determines it needs more laborers. Bolger voted against the measure saying that he would like to see more local youths be afforded the opportunity to work. , ARCHITECTS TO BEGIN NEW LIFE SAFETY STUDY ( Continued from page 1) Life safety funds, Wallace continued, cannot be used for additions. As the subject of ac­ commodating the handicapped was pursued, Supt. Robert Swartzloff observed that laws are changing so fast that West campus does not comply in all respects, a factor which would need to be considered in a building program should another referendum be suc­ cessful. Returning to the subject of East campus life safety costs, the architects said this depends mostly upon the details in­ volved. They pointed to an. extensive life safety program at Evanstor. high school which will run $11 million. The local estimate is between $500,000 and $2 million, the latter for more extensive work at East. $ 1 # 0 S E A T S $ 1 # # MELBROOKS In ii#%i i a yvigfy niiari i fli.7-9SAT.-SUN. 1-3-7 3«0Si.

However, he said all figures could be justified. The East campus building survey, approved on the motion of Neumann, seconded by Dave Benrud, will cost up to but not exceeding, $7,500. Results of the citizen survey were revealed, another point to be considered in the board's final opinion. Of 339 survey sheets sent out, sixty were returned. Purpose of the survey was to learn (A) If the school bond referendum should be held again; (B) Reasons for the failure of the April 8 bond referendum; and (C) Issues never answered or clarified in the bond campaign. The sample population surveyed included Task Force members; all Advisory Council members; anyone who hosted coffees or worked on former referendums and "yes" cards filed from the April 8 cam­ paign. Of those who responded, 44, or 73 percent, said the referendum should be held again; 13, or 21.6 percent said no; and 3, or .05 percent, were undecided. Giving opinions on reasons for the bond failure, the vote was as follows: 1-Public will not vote for an increase in taxes (for any good reason), 19; 2- ParentS not voting, 11; 3-Desire to keep East, 10; 4- Misunderstanding issues, 9; and 5, senior citizens' vote, 10. Other reasons were these: Sale of East - price too cheap, 7; High cost of another new school in 5-10 years, 5; and misunderstanding of the issues, 9. Twenty persons felt the cost of repairing East campus was an issue never defined in the campaign. HONORED WITH ACTING AWARDS (Continued from page 1) "Oliver." In the lighting and technical area of theatre, Miss Sande Bonde, technical director, presented Julie Brooks .a special award for her work behind the scenes. These were just a few of the awards presented to students at the third annual Speech. Drama, and Debate banquet held in West campus cafeteria. Over 100 students and their parents, faculty, and ad­ ministration were in at­ tendance. Students honored for their speech team efforts were Tim Cornwell and Peter Bender. Presentations of contest work were given by Steve Parisi and Lynn Lupo, who performed a humorous duet, "Love is a time of Day," and Jeanette May, who gave her original oratory /or the guests. Lori Robertson and Brad Smith, sophomores at East campus, ^shared honors for their performances in the East campus fall play, "Anybody Out There?" Roger Zawacki, East campus drama director, presented Lori with the best performer award for her portrayal of Sophie in that play. Brad Smith was named the Most Promising Newcomer to Drama by Dan Stanowski, Drama director at East. The debate team members were also presented with special awards and trophies. Receiving the outstanding speaker award trophy in the Junior Varsity division was Ruth Snyder, a junior at West campus. The outstanding novice speaker award was presented to Derek Gilbert, a sophomore at East campus and son of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Gilbert. Both Derek and Ruth had earned the highest possible speaker points for the 1977-78 debate season. Each of them debated as many as twenty- eight rounds of debate for McHenry high school in this year's interscholastic season. A special debate award was given by Debate coach, Mrs. Burke, on behalf of the debate team to three-year debater, Judy Vyduna, for her out­ standing contribution and dedication to the debate team. Judy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Vyduna. Featured speakers at the ' banquet included Mary Gattone and Scott Crittenden, McHenry high school alumni and former debaters. Peter Bender, junior at West campus, along with Chuck Popp, drama director, Miss Bonde, Miss Burke, Zawacki and Stanowski presided over the banquet.

Singers Win Top Award Mrs. Mona Brown, chorus director at Harrison school, Wonder Lake, holds plaque recognizing her young vocalists as winners of a first place rating at the state choral contest held in Round Lake Saturday, April 29. Mrs. Brown has forty-five boys and girls in sixth, seventh and eighth grade in the chorus who meet before school two days a week. Most of these chorus members will also be involved in the all-school musical, "The Wizard of Oz" which will be performed Friday, May 19, and Saturday, May 20. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Hills planning and zoning chairman, testified that the processing plant encourages mining and that he objected to the petition. Mrs. Girard explained that the land in question had a farming zoning classification and the owner could mine the land if he desired, but the petition was only concerned with the processing of the sand and gravel. Roberts then explained that because of the large cost in­ volved in applying for the conditional use permit, he requested that the permit be granted for twenty years rather than ten. He also asked that he be allowed to operate the mine from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. during the peak summer months. He said that the longer hours (he presently operates on a 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. schedule) would enable him to operate in two eight-hour shifts, when the demand is greatest and daylight saving time permitted longer operation. Chairman Girard then ad­ journed the hearing, indicating that the board could possibly vote on the petition at its May 23 voting meeting at 8:30 a.m. The board will vote on the petition and offer its recom­ mendation to the county board. So far the intelligence of man has devised no way to prevent tornadoes. Increased Services For Retarded Focus Of Meeting Members attending the McHenry County Association for the Retarded annual meeting on Sunday, May 7 will hear expressions of concern about "funding plateaus at the state and local levels." Discussing the impending meeting, Robert Lambourn, executive director, explained why this topic should be presented to persons interested in helping the developmentally disabled in McHenry county. "If funds reach a plateau, services will suffer-and we are at a time when pressures on the staff to provide increased services are at their greatest in the agency's history," Lam­ bourn asserted. Annual meeting participants will hear Lambourn's views on how the association must respond to the need to secure added funds. He said local fund- raising events sponsored by Pioneer center and increased membership in the agency will be other 1978-79 goals. The annual meeting will be a potluck dinner at the Johnsburg Community club. The business session starts at 3 p.m. and will be followed by the potluck dinner. Two local men.
