THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER MCCULLOM LAKE NEWS C •ich. IRVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKE S REGION SINCE 1875* EVE LEVESQUE 385-4141 DEATH OF VILLAGE PRESIDENT CAUSES SPECIAL ELECTION Tre d&rth of Arthur J. Stuhlfeier, village president, on Good Friday from an apparent heart attack .will mean a special election to replace him. According to Roland Herrmann, village attorney, the six trustees who now constitute the board, will select one of their members to serve as' chairman until the election can be held. According to law, the election must be held within six months. Mr. Herrmann placed the date of election about the end of May or first week in June. Any member of the board or any adult resident of the incorporated area may run for this post, to fulfill the unexpired term. The office would then be open again, in the spring of 1969. The board will call a special resolution and specify details of the election. There has been speculation as to whether this office could be included on the ballot to be presented April 18, but this is not possible, since the time element of 30 days before election is not present. Mr. Stuhlfeier was found on the floor near the telephone, and it is presumed that he was trying to call for help when he succumbed. Efforts to reach his daughter, Violet, and husband, Ben Gates, were fruitless. They left town for the LaCrosse, Wis. area about noon on Friday and did not return home until 6:30 p.m., Sunday, to betoldthe stunning news. Other details appear on the first page of the Plaindealer. Art was found by young Cliff Morris, general handyman, who alerted neighbors and called for the Johnsburg Rescue Squad and personal physician, Dr. Sek. A civic servant for most of his life, Art was responsible for instituting the egg roll for local small fry. It is ironic that the annual event was in progress, the day after his demise. The former village president was laid to rest beside his wife, Maud, who succumbed following a fall in 1964, in Woodland cemetery. Services were held from the Peter Justen and Son Funeral Home, yesterday, at 2 p.m., by the Rev. Ronald L. Anderson, Ringwood Methodist church. Masonic services were held at 8 p.m., Tuesday. TWO ELECTIONS CAPTURE VOTER INTEREST Residents are asked to go to the polls, Saturday, April 1, between the hours of noon and 7 p.m. to determine if a junior college should be established somewhere in the McHenry area. Polling place is the beachhouse, and judges of election are Emma Pyritz, Carol Bateman, and Marie Howe. A great deal of literature has been written, distributed, and published concerning this vital need, and we sincerely hope that each adult has acquainted himself with the facts. There is still time to read the advantages of creating a junior college in the county, and putting your X in the yes square. The second election, to select township officials, will be held Tuesday, April 4, and polling place, again, is the beachhouse. The hours are from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Judges for this election will be Earl Murray, Marge Olsen, Irene Sales, Tony Luto, and Gerry Jensen. If you will be out of town on election day, you may go to the township office, on Green street and vote either Frid&y or Saturday. There is every reason for each registered voter to indicate his preference!! Voters will also be asked to decide if facilities for mental health should be increased. This, too, is a vital necessity, and deserves a YES vote. This referendum will be held Tuesday, April 4. Two other elections--school board, Saturday, April 8, and the village election, Tuesday, April- 18, will be covered in later columns, but be sure to mark them on your calendar. END OF THE LINE Ticketing will begin in the near future for failure to have your vehicle sticker mounted on the windshield of your "wheels". The deadline for purchase is tomorrow, March 31/ Village clerk Carol Bateman will be happy to handle your request, but do it NOW! NOTES FROM THE VILLAGE BOARD All members were present except Anthony Doolin, when the board convened on Monday, March 20. The nojy deceased village president Arthur Stuhlfeier had checked with the post office about a mail box in the area for late posting. Hereported that since vandalism is the usual reason for installation, and since we are relatively free from this threat, there will be no centred mailbox at this time. Mr. Stuhlfeier performed this service upon the request of a resident. The Cullom-Knoll Inn was granted their annual renewal of a liquor license. ^ Judges of election for April 18 were named by the board and they include Myra Murray, Emma Pyritz, and Carrie Kurth. A building permit was issued for the former Jones residence which suffered fire damage some years ago. A complaint of silt drifting from construction work on Forest View was registered with the board. The snow plowing ordinance was discussed again but remains the same, at this time. The next meeting will be held Monday, April 3 at 8 p.m. in the beachhouse. SUMMER WEATHER FOR EASTER BUNNY Clear skies and high temperatures sent youngsters of the village to the beach in droves for the annual Easter egg roll. Peter Cottontail received help from Mrs. Gerry Jensen and members of the teen club in secreting the eggs for the kiddies.
