City Denies Zoning Request It isn't often that McHenry's City Council reverses the recommendation of the Zoning Board of Appeals, but it hap­ pened Monday night when the petition of Ralph L. Edgar, covering 2.2 acres facing 111. Rt. 120 along the east side of Boone Creek, was denied, r The property involved in the Edgar petition was reclassified March 3, 1969. to "B-2" Com­ mercial-Recreational district when it was proposed to erect a Ramada Inn motel on the .site. The new owner's petition sought a "B-l" classification for retail stores, professional and service offices on the first floor and apartments above the main floor. Twin buildings were planned. A reduction in the required number of parking spaces was approved by the Zoning board considering the type of oc­ cupancy and an ordinance provision exempting the requirement when a building is situated within 300 feet of a public parking lot. In a split vote, the motion to deny the petition carried. The Council readily approved the petition of Springtrol, Inc. and Ralph L. Edgar to reclassify 5.3 acres with 230 feet fronting on 111. Rt. 120, east of the McHenry Shopping center, from "I" Industrial Park to "B-l" Commercial Retail. The Council approved Mayor Doherty's appointment of Art Jackson as a member of the Police commission, replacing the late Harry M. Conway. Following a survey report by the Streets and Sidewalks committee, the Council ap­ proved street repairs covering various parts of the city at an estimated cost of $16,680. Serious consideration was given to the city water supply since present pumping 1s reaching full capacity. Engineering has been started and test holes will be made. In checking the privately owned water system in Lakeland Park for possible purchase by the City, Baxter and Woodman, Engineers, reported that the supply is not more than needed for the area now being served. Bill Miller's request to conduct a tag day for the McHenry Junior Football team on Sept. 9 was approved. THE MCHENRY PLAINDEALER SERVING THE CHAIN-O-LAKES REGION SINCE 1875 VOLUME 96 NUMBER 90 FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1972 20 PAGES TEN CENTS Elect McHenry Shores Officers Village Vote Saturday Last week the sheriff's department books carried a story of two juveniles blamed for the vandalism of a home. It all started when a resident of Center drive, Wonder Lake, heard suspicious noises. Called to the scene, deputies found that the summer home of Stanley Mrowyzsnki had been vandalized, with eleven panes of glass broken. What was not stated - and what gave the story a touch of humor.- was the fact that the juveniles were a not-quite4- year-old and his 6-year-old friend. Picking up some stones, they tried their right arms for a possible future pitching career. The fact that they heard cracking glass only made the venture more exciting. The smaller of the two took to boasting a bit to his dad, who decided this might be a fine time to curb any inclination toward violence when he reached the age of reason. Police were tipped off and agreed to become part of the teaching experience. Their arrival found the smallest boy fleeing to the safety of the family closet, and no little amount of persuasion was needed to bring him out. With much insistence from Dad, he reluctantly shook hands with the young, friendly officer, all of the action in the shadow of Mom. In this refuge, the youngster learned the old, old truth that the man in uniform is a friend, to be feared only if the law is bfoken. Then Dad took over and replaced the windows. Not the usual vandalism story, we'll admit,* but with a (Continued on j>*ge 17) The McHenry Shores area will begin to function officially as a village with the election of a president, clerk and six trustees next Saturday, June 10. Recently the area southeast of McHenry, on the Fox river, was incorporated. The election Saturday will be held at the residence of William Dostal, 601 S. Broadway. The polls will be open from 6a.m. to 6 p.m. Only one filing was made with County Clerk Vernon Kays for president and one for clerk at the May 15 deadline. Howard Bieritz of 717 S. Riverside drive is the candidate for president and Rose Lillegard of 717 S. Broadway for clerk. Seven have filed to fill the six offices for trustee posts. They are Lawrence Hicks, 606 S. Bally road, Donald Hen- derlong, 4316 W. Vista Terrace, Ed Oblinski, 605 S. Meadow road, Clarence Schweikert, 606 S. Hilltop blvd., William J. Dostal, 601 S. Broadway, Jeffrey L. Hoffman, 801 S. Broadway and John Novotny, 1003 Hilltop blvd. The new village, twenty-third incorporated area in the county, has an estimated population of near 700. The matter of incorporation first came to public attention early this year when residents expressed a desire to be an­ nexed to the city of McHenry. This was impossible because the property is not contiguous to the municipality. Nevertheless, because the area in question is within a mile of the city, it was necessary that the City Council give ap­ proval to any incorporation. This it did through a letter advising that there was no objection to efforts on behalf of McHenry Shores residents toward incorporation. A small quonset hut type building and cement forms on the Lennon farm, 2007 W. Rt. 120, McHenry, were destroyed in a fire which broke out at 5:32 Wednesday evening.

Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, was charged by sheriff's deputies last Thursday night with committing the offenses of contributing to the delinquency of minors and growing can­ nabis plants. Bond was set at $2,000. The arrest resulted after the sheriff's department received a complaint that a suspicious type party was taking place at die iS'odin home. Since it was implied drugs were involved, members of the Narcotics division were notified to assist in the investigation. When officers arrived at the scene, they observed no one in the area. They knocked at the door and received no response although music could be heard and lights were on in the home. A neighbor was located and reported that prior to the of­ ficer's arrival, several youths, both boys and girls, had been seen running in and around the house. He had seen a girl rolling around on the lawn as though in pain. She had been taken inside the home by some youths prior to the deputies' arrival. The youths then fled the scene.

Hie Wonder Lake Rescue squad was summoned to take her to Memorial hospital, Woodstock, for treatment. While waiting for the rescue squad, Frodin arrived and reported that it was his home. When informed of the cir­ cumstances, he said he had allowed several youths the use of his home. When he had left the house earlier to get something to eat, they were drinking liquor they had brought with them. Three of the youths, all juveniles, were identified, located and taken into custody.

Muse of 1705 River Terrace drive, McHenry, was arrested Saturday night by county authorities for unlawful use of weapons and reckless conduct. Bond was set at $1,500. The court date is July 10. The arrest stemmed from a complaint by Daniel Shea of Westchester, who reported that while visiting at 1416 River Terrace, McHenry, someone shot a hole in the tire of his auto while it was parked in the driveway. Shea told deputies that earlier he had been driving east-bound on River Terrace drive when a man later iden­ tified as Muse, jumped in front of his auto with a cane raised over his head. Shea stopped to determine what was wrong and Muse accused him of speeding and raising dust on the road. Shea attempted to talk to Muse and assure him that he had not been speeding but the offender persisted in prodding him with his cane. Unable to reason with him, Shea decided to drive away, at which time Muse shoved his cane in the rear window of the auto, where it became lodged. Later, Shea heard an auto in the driveway. Expecting guests, he looked out to see someone with a gun in his hand leave an auto and approach his car. The man raised the rifle and fired a shot at the tire of Shea's auto, deflating it. He then returned to his auto and left. Shea identified the man with the gun as the same one he had confronted earlier with a cane. A description of the offender's auto was obtained and in­ vestigation determined the owner to be Muse. Muse, who had concealed his auto in a wooded area behind his residence, was arrested at his home after being identified by witnesses.
