/ RESIDENTS PETITION AGAINST RESCUE BUILDING LOCATION (Continued from page 1) difficult f6r an emergency vehicle to make efficient ingress or egress and thus would be a .hazard; also, McHenry hospital will be moving in the near future south of town and the proposed site would no longer be desirable. Alderman George Harker stated that to his knowledge, no formal negotiations had been entered into between the Rescue squad and the Council on that piece of property. Alderman Bill Bolger noted that the Rescue squad is not a city function but they are doing a "tremendous job and should be given help wherever possible." However, he didn't feel it would be a good idea to build at this location because of the proximity of the schools. Alderman Don Howard noted that people were concerned because they had learned the Rescue squad has its plans drawn and "are ready to go". Alderman Ed Efetz, who is chairman of the Public Property committee, reported no feasibility study had been made on that property. It has many uses, and a study should be made on the best use of this ground, he stated. Datz men­ tioned there were 8,000 people in the city of McHenry who are served by the Rescue squad. Warren Kuhlman asked City Attorney,* Bernard Narusis^if the city could sell, lease or present this property as a gift without formal notice being put in the newspaper. Narusis replied "Not with respect to a sale, possibly with respect to leasing but not as a gift. Whether or not this body would follow that is debatable." Alderman Jack Pepping moved to insert the petition into the permanent record of the meeting. All agreed. Mayor Joseph Stanek ad­ dressed the petitioners and said. "We share your ap­ prehension. We will do the best we can and keep you ap­ praised." He added, "I guarantee you we will not sneak anything through." Kuhlman replied, "That's what the people here present wanted to hear." In other business, Chief Kenneth Espey asked that an unmarked car be purchased by the city for use of the PCR (Police Community Relations) officer and the juvenile officer. A federal grant would pay $3,400 toward the purchase of a four-door sedan equipped with a two-way radio. Alderman Howard moved the car be put out for bid and all concurred. Lloyd Wagner of Lakeland Park appeared before the Council to make specific charges against the Police department regarding tickets and alleged harrassment. He was informed by the city at­ torney that any specific complaints on individuals in the Police department should be brought before the Police commission board. Greg Watts and Kevin Mc- Farland of McHenry ap­ proached the Council and suggested that the city sponsor musical entertainment or street dances for the youth of the town in the city park. The boys' musical group called "I Dolwine" are available for hire and would be interested in the project. Mayor Stanek turned the matter over to Alderman Jim Wegener, chairman of the Band committee, who will meet with the boys. Robert Silhan of the McHenry County Plan com­ mission reported on what the county has done on the Com­ munity Assistance program under HUD grants.

Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer was authorized to set up a meeting with the engineer and sewer contractors to meet with aldermen and discuss what is to be done with the roads in Lakeland Park. A lengthy discussion took place between councilmen and the city attorney on the legality of action taken at the annual meeting in April. Alderman Jerry Rogers, who presented another proposal on salaries for the Police department, questioned whether the adoption of the new police salary schedule at the annual meeting was valid because it was not advertised that such business would be conducted at that session. To further com­ plicate matters, one week after the annual meeting, the Council, fearing that the action might be invalid, voted favorably to reaffirm ratification of all action taken at the annual meeting. Rogers agreed to table any decision on his proposed salary schedule until the city attorney can look into the matter and suggest appropriate procedure. Rogers posed the following question to Attorney Narusis: "When persons . who own private property on a lake remodel, can they fill their property in the lake?" Narusis reported there are two kinds of ownership. Riparian ownership does not terminate at the water's edge -- it extends to the gore (middle). Water can be taken from the lake and the property could probably be expanded. However, if one is on a lake but property was acquired as a lot with specific dimensions, the answer would be no. Persons involved would have to check their deeds. Mark Justen asked that the Council consider building an overpass on Route 120 to ac­ commodate children attending Parkland Junior high school and persons wishing to use the new park near Whispering Oaks. He felt that with four- lane traffic which is being established in that area, road crossing for pedestrians would be extremely dangerous. He was informed that stop and go lights are to be installed at Meadow and Industrial drive on Rt. 120 which would allow for pedestrian crossing. It was also noted that state permission would be required for such a project and the entire cost would have to be taken care of by the city. The matter was delegated to the streets and sidewalks committee. The Council also agreed to obtain bids on repairing numerous streets in the city to wit: pave Green from Anne to Fairwayoand60feet on Fairway entrance; patch and seal Ronda; patch and seal Skyway from Ronda to 3202 Skyway; pave Clover from Green to Timothy; patch ^nd seal Crescent from John street west; patch and seal Charlotte to Country club drive (dry wells in two places, four-way stop at Crescent and John, trim brush at Country club exit; patch and seal Wood and Crestwood; patch and seal parts of Logan; widen turn area at Pearl and Richmond; pave Washington frofri St. Patrick's school to Route 31; seal coat and drainage at Riverside drive parking lot; scarify prime and double seal Court from Pearl to PAGE 21-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1973 W^m ~V» , <, 7 e -1 r I ' $ '3t 'i I ̂ J f 4 9 » & SjC * - " * ̂m ^ # , v The above students were recognized in a special tribute at West campus Tuesday night.

DRUG CHARGE AGAINST THREE (Continued from page 1) Driver of the vehicle, Thomas L. Jones of 522 Rose Terrace, Island Lake, was arrested for possession of cannabis after the drug in excess of 30 grams was found in his possession. Bond was set at $2,500.

LADY PARSON ASSUMES DUTIES IN TWO CHURCHES (Continued from page D Wegner, "and I also was in­ terested in working with people. And so, as a teenager I considered the ministry but I didn't know for sure when I started college". While a theology student at Garrett seminary in Evanston, she worked in a church in Glencoe and then began to consider the ministry seriously. In the seminary, according to the young woman, she was given "equal treatment" by professors. She and her five female colleagues found their male classmates generally accepting, though "some male students seemed threatened by the women", she added. The Rev. Wegner concedes that her situation is "difficult, because I'm on the spot" but sometimes she feels "sort of special". She feels that in the end, it's the success of her work that counts. "It's more of a struggle for a woman than a man (to suc­ ceed) because some church and lay people are resistant, but most are open to the idea", she concluded. Besides serving recently as one of two associate pastors of a 1,500-member congregation Biederer.
