Arrest Driver After Taking Boat Over Dam Frank Orlando of 8221 Carolwood, Woodridge, was charged with reckless operation of a motor boat after his boat went over the dam at McHenry State Park Sunday afternoon about 3 o'clock. Bond was set at $25, with court date scheJuled for Oct. 16. The ticket was issued after witnesses reported that a boat with one occupant had driven over the dam and continued south on the river. Descriptions of the boat and operator were obtained and when the boat entered the locks on its return trip, a loek tender notified WI9CONSIN MAN LOSES LIFE IN TWO- CAR CRASH TUESDAY (Continued from page 1) intersection. Hoffelt's eighteen-year-old brother, James Hoffelt, was killed by a hit and run vehicle July 19 as he walked along Wilmot road about 1 mile north of Main street, Spring Grove, near the vicinity of Tuesday's fatal accident. Buck H. Mavis of 3703 E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, was ticketed for driving while intoxicated following a one-car accident Tuesday night about 11:15 on Crystal Lake blacktop, one-half mile south of Mason Hill road, south of McHenry. Mavis stated he was north­ bound on Crystal Lake road when a deer suddenly ran toward his auto. In trying to avoid the deer, he lost control of his auto and struck a tree. Officers, noted that evidence indicated the Mavis auto crossed the center line, proceeded north in the south­ bound lane, left the road and traveled about 231 feet before striking a tree on the west side of the roadway. CORPORATE TAX RATE LOWERED (Continued from page 1) from residents of Maple avenue listed "desires and opinions." One point of interest to all citizens concerned control of solicitors. Attorneys have been seeking an ordinance that could be enforced, but are faced with a Supreme court decision that solicitors such as those selling magazine subscriptions are operating under interstate commerce rights. It was agreed that some further limitations should be imposed. This was suggested at the last review meeting with the firm codifying McHenry's or­ dinance. Another point asked was more complete local news coverage of Council meetings, but the Council felt this should be referred to the news media. The zoning petition on the Mark's Marine property did not get the approval recommended by the Zoning Board of Ap­ peals, but was granted with certain stipulations. Lot 29, adjacent to the petitioner's building was approved for boat parking . However , Lot 2 8 , which is next to residential area, was limited to automobile and light truck parking. Adequate fencing was also set forth. Contemplated purchase of the water system in Lakeland Park - Lakeland Shores area was discussed. Some engineering reports have been received. Now the Council must consider ways of financing deputies, who made the arrest. Orlando told officers he was south-bound on the river and failed to see the dam until it was too late, in spite of the fact that 500 feet north of the dam, numerous barrels are strung across the river as a warning.

ALL EYES ON McHENRY DAM (Continued from page 1) "But they're predicting more rain", he added. Spyer noted that some marinas and homes are surrounded by water south of the dam, and it is possible a few of these people felt conditions were unsafe and left the premises. He added that in some cases basements are below water level, and -that septic systems often do not function properly under these circumstances. • The engineer pointed to 1,200 square miles of drainage coming out of Wisconsin, ex­ tending from this area as far south as Ottawa. In order to maintain the water level as near satisfactory as possible, cooperation is the order among states. Spyer stressed that contrary to rumors, there is no danger of the local dam breaking. He and Gullang were swamped with telephone calls early this week. According to the engineer, the river south of the McHenry dam is usually 5V2 to 6 feet lower than above the dam. At present, the difference is about 2 feet. County Civil Defense Director John Shay reported that volunteers' have been on standby call throughout the week. Leaders met Tuesday night to discuss possible emergency needs in some areas. One of these is Marengo, where some roads are im­ passable. Following the Sunday night storm, a truck was lifted up and overturned in 6 feet of water on Rt. 176, between Marengo and Union. Shay is assisted by G.D. Mclntyre of Algonquin, assistant Civil Defense director, and Roy Schultz of Marengo, director of com­ munications. The State Dvision of Water Resource Management is in charge of regulations of the locks and other activity on the river. Boat traffic was halted last Sunday. NEW PLAQUE DESIGNATES TRAUMA CENTER (Continued from page 1) "The specialized research and equipment utilized for their care, and the coordinated transportation facilities, are undoubtedly responsible for a morality rate of around 2 per cent." J Mrs. Mary Dunea, special assistant to Dr. David Boyd of the Illinois Department of Public Health, told the audience in the hospital dining room that the Illinois Trauma system is so highly regarded as the most modern in the world that the Foreign Minister of West Germany plans to send two German doctors to study this Illinois Trauma system. "Many accident victims are saved, or they are saved from permanent or partial disability by this prompt, professional care," she said. Last week Dr. Boyd announced the designation of McHenry hospital as a Local Trauma center. He hadplannedto attend the reremony, flying 'to the helioport near the hospital but the foggy, windy weather prevented his flight. Following the program, the auxiliary to McHenry hospital served refreshments during a reception. Mrs. Ogilvie met each guest individually and enjoyed her stay at the ceremony. Auxiliary members at the serving table included Mrs. Warren Krebs, Mrs. Warren Kuhlman, Mrs. John Kelsey, Auxiliary president; Mrs. Dean Cunat and Mrs. William Mars. Anthony Cor­ coran, hospital executive director, served as master of ceremonies for the program and accepted the plaque in conjunction with Olsen. In reviewing establishment of the Illinois Trauma system, Mrs. Ogilvie said cooperative planning resulted in the hospital's fine facilities, and similar spirit has helped the hospital to become a part of a significant health care system-- the first of its kind in the nation. "My husband considers the creation of the state trauma system one of the proudest accomplishments of his ad­ ministration. The federal government recognized Illinois' leadership in this field in July with a $4 million grant to expand the trauma network to a model comprehensive emergency health care system." She called attention to the fact that for persons under 4 5 , accidents are a leading cause of death although it has been the least researched of all leading causes of death. "I'm sure all of us here realize this is an area that demands more attention, and in Illinois it is receiving that attention. We can be proud to be blazing a trail."
