In other action, a number of topics and possible un­ dertakings are being given serious consideration by the Council. Among them, the Council is looking into the feasibility of buying underground gasoline storage tanks and purchasing fuel for City vehicles at bulk prices. The matter was turned over to the Purchasing committee for study and recommendation. Likewise, the Council is considering requiring, as a matter of course, deceleration lanes at the hri0t0|ihrrfi S WEAR 390? W MAIN STREET McHENR>;. ILLINOIS 60060 <8161 3864000 m intersection oi major collector streets in all new subdivisions. New subdivisions would also be required to have sidewalks installed, unless exempted by zoning classification. Some zoning classifications do not require sidewalks in front of homes. As the subdivision control ordinance stands, this requirement is already present but has not been strictly enforced. Mayor Stanek proposed passing a. resolution to in­ struct the building inspector to require sidewalks onfall new homes built. This proposal met with some opposition from aldermen who were not in favor of having perhaps a single house on a block with sidewalks. "I thftik you have to think along the lines of new developments," Alderman Wieser said. "It would be absurd and stupid lo have 60 feet of sidewalk on one block while the rest of the block does not have any." This situation, it was pointed out, could ocVur if new houses were built on vacant lots in some of the older subdivisions in. McHenry. The- matter was referred to the Streets and Sidewalks committee. The question was also raised about whether the City should consider prohibiting the planting of trees in the tree banks (public rights-of-way). The trees, it was argued, can interfere with visibility at corners and utility maintenance wherever they ocur in Hhe public easements. The subdivision control ordinance presently prohibits the planting of particular species of trees. Homeowners could plant trees if written permission , from the City was obtained, the mayor pointed out. The Council voted to have the City attorney write an amendntjpnt lo the sub­ division control ordinance reflecting these thoughts. Alderman Elizabeth Nolan cast the^only dissenting vote. In other Council business, $20,256.94 was paid to Lakeland construction for work completed on the improvement of the Green street parking lot. The Council voted to spend more than $5,000 to have the parking lot in Petersen park seal coated. The operation is scheduled to begin at the end of July. The Police department has started the refurbishing of the filing system with the purchase of materials from P.O. Knuth, Woodstock, totalling $3,592. The department is also looking into the purchase of reconditioned cabinets from a firm in Chicago. The Council voted lo allow the sale of beer at two soft- ball tournaments later this month, one sponsored by the Rusty Nail Softball team and the second by the women's league. Alderman Nolan voted against the motion. Alderman Edward Datz wanted to know who was going to pay for using the lights at the softball field during these tournaments. Alderman Pepping said, "I don't think it would be improper to have a tour­ nament fee." Park Director Peter Merkel said if ihe fee were reasonable, the teams probably v^ould not object to it.

What Just One Person Can Do Soul Music For Haiti The Christophers are always searching for stories of men and women who, with God's help, are making this a happier and more decent world. It's my pleasure to tell you about an Episcopal nun, named Motfypr Anne Marie Bickerstaff, who is presently the superior of Boston's Society of St. Margaret. Back in 1951, when she was teaching music and religion at Holy Trinity Missionary school in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, she put her talents to V -V - V * , I | | II'I IN M * ' ' y It was fun and games. food and entertainment, for almost 300 club.

Finding that there was no music school, no concert hall, no national orchestra, Mother Anne Marie began dreaming of ways to develop the potential of her gifted but untrained students. First she mounted a campaign to obtain used musical instruments for Haiti because they had nothing. Then she gathered her most gifted students into a small band, persuading a local customs officer to be their first conductor. The music school was underway. After years of planning, training and fund-raising a miracle began to lake shape; a miracle lhat came to fruilation on Thanksgiving day, 1979. On that day, Haiti celebrated the opening of its first concert hall. High government officials and diplomats came to the 500-seat auditorium to hear the Holy Trinity Philhar­ monic orchestra. At the finale of the performance there was a standing ovation. Haitian composer Ferrere Laguerre called Mother Anne Marie "a fantastic woman". • In one generation the evolution from primitive music to symphony or­ chestra took place because one woman decided to give herself and her talents to those who needed her. Every step of the way was a labor of love, but she did it. All of them did it, the benefactors, the students the volunteers, together with the wonderful people of Haiti who supported the project.
