Due to the high count of chlorine in the water, the EPA ordered the water company to flush the complete system. Village President Bieritz arranged with the water company and the EPA that signs were to be posted at the two main entrances to the Village giving the hours of non service. We are sorry that this promise was not fulfilled by the water company and the EPA. T h e E n v i r o n m e n t a l Protection Agency (EPA) vs the McHenrv Shores Water Company and John H. Fuhler had scheduled a hearing for Feb. 12. Much to the surprise of the village board of trustees, the date was changed with no notice to the village board. We have since found out that it has been set for March 23 or 24. Your village board asks that all residents please attend. If you care enough, let the EPA know by your presence. The hearing will be held at the McHenry city hall before the Illinois Pollution Control Board. VILLAGE ELECTIONS The village elections will be held April 17 at which time three board trustees will be elected. Six candidates have filed petitions for a position on the ballot. In the following weeks in this column, I will have received a short resume from each candidate which will be printed. This will give you a chance to know your can­ didates. The six candidates who have filed are as follows: Zelmer M. Turner, incumbent Edwin Olbinski, Mrs. Sandra L. Moyer, incumbent Donald E. Henderlong, Mrs. Ardith J. Reed, and Mrs. Bertha Quinn. March 19 will be the first day to apply for absentee ballots. This means that you will be outside the village limits on the day of election from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Absentee ballots are available from the village clerk. The last day will be April 14. CIVIL DEFENSE CHAIRMAN In our last column we failed to mention the appointment of William Pinkonsly, Jr., as civil defense chairman. Our apologies. ZONING SURVEY Have you seen strange cars in the area on the weekends during daylight hours? This could very well be the zoning committee members doing their difficult job of surveying each and every piece of property. This is a very dif­ ficult and time consuming job. Our many thanks to these six men and their secretary, Mrs. Moyer. DOG TAGS Any dog that is caught running at large will im­ mediately be impounded and the owner will not only be issued a citation from the police department but also will have to defray the expense incurred at the pound. There are still many dogs without the village dog tag. Without identification, these dogs could very well in the future be in "Animal Heaven". If by some chance you received a notice from the McHenry County Rabies Of­ ficer for dog registration, please make note on the ap­ plication that you are a resident of the Village of McHenry Shores and return form to the county. CAR STICKERS PAST DUE The deadline for car stickers has since passed. If you have not yet received your tag the price increases after March l. Besides the increase in price, the police department will enforce the fine for no valid sticker. VILLAGE CLERK'S OFFICE The village clerk's office is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. for all transactions. Illinois hunting and fishing licenses are also available. Voters who have not registered may do so at the clerk's office, voters registration will close March 5 until after the elections. BOARD MEETINGS Village board meetings are held every second and fourth Thursday of each month at 605 S. Meadow within the village limits. The public is always invited and welcome to speak after the regular order of business is transacted. The last two McHenry Shores board meetings have brought much heated discussion among the board members. Treasurer Mrs. Lillegard asked the board to place a freeze on all spending with the exception of com­ mitted expenditures. The board approved a resolution to that effect by a vote of the following: Olbinski, yes; Henderlong, yes; Hoffman, no; Schweikert, yes; and Hicks, yes. Trustee Hoffman suggested the possibility of a special assessment for road work within the village limits. President Bieritz commented that no such undertaking could be done without a study of the work to be done and the response of the residents as to their feelings on the matter. Trustee Hoffman told the board that a special assessment could be done by ordinance or resolution of the village board without the approval of the residents according to the Illinois State Statute. Trustees Schweikert, Henderlong, Olbinski and Hicks felt that the matter should be presented to the people in the way of a referendum or an opinion poll, if the need was necessary. It was the feeling of the majority of the board that motor fuel tax monies could achieve the same job, but over a period of time, and cause no burden to the property owner. Further discussion and study on the matter will be continued at the next board meeting. POLICE DEPARTMENT BUDGET On the matter of the police department budget, Chairman Hoffman of the police depart­ ment, suggested and presented to the board a request for four additonal part time uniformed patrol men. It was further suggested that we secure Tax Anticipation Warrants in the amount of $2,000.00 for this request. Trustee Schweikert emphasized the fact that there is no need for four additional men at this time and if money were available the board would possibly consider two ad­ ditional men. Treasurer Mrs. Lillegard informed the board that the police department had already overspent their ap­ propriations and that the contingency fund could handle the additional amount but would then make it impossible for other departments of the village to operate in the case of an emergency. The matter was shelved until the board had time to investigate and con­ sider the matter. A letter had been sent by the police department to the school board notifying them of speeding buses through the village limits. As of Feb. 22 no response had been received. Resident Mrs. Sandra Moyer suggested to the board that a water testing kit be purchased so as to test the water in the Fox river for safe swimming conditions this summer. President Bieritz thanked Mrs. Moyer for her fine suggestion and he would look into the matter. The village clerk informs Us that a special federal census will be forthcoming within the village limits. The necessary paper work has been filed with the Bureau of Census, Washington, D.C., and we are now awaiting word as to the actual census taking days. This is to update our census in order to receive our proper share of income. If at first you don't suc­ ceed, don't take any more chances."
