LOCAL ACTS OF VANDALISM CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE (Continued from page 1) onto the ground, county police reported. Rocks were used to inflict damage at area homes last week. Jerome Rochette of 2604 Shorewood, McHenry, reported the rear window of his auto was broken while it was parked at his residence by the use of rocks. Bernard Schall of 2624 Thomas court, McHenry, told authorities a rock had been thrown through a living room window at his home early last week. Charles Maier of 3902 E. Lake Shore, Wonder Lake, told deputies rocks were used to break the globe of his yard light sometime Friday night. A home under construction at 1009 Edgewood, McHenry, was vandalized last week. Richard Kotiw of McHenry, reported bags of cement and lime were damaged as well as floor plumbing. Cement had also been poured into a bucket and a drum. A Halloween display at the home of Walter Schultz at 1312 Fairview, McHenry, was damaged Saturday night when offenders set fire to the display. Lyle Wright of 2502 E. Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, told county officials an FM radio and cassette player had been taken from his auto while he was attending church services at the Wonder Lake Bible church. The car was in the church parking lot Sunday morning when the theft oc­ curred. A 15-foot aluminum Sea Nymph canoe was taken from the Wooded Shores beach area sometime last week. The owner, David Lee of 3120 Clearview, Wonder Lake, reported the boat had been chained and locked at the beach. ASSAULT, ROBBERY AMONG CHARGES AGAINST YOUTHS (Continued from page 1) The East Troy youths reported the Illinois license plate number to Wisconsin police and the car was spotted by Sgt. Bankson, traveling on McCullom Lake road near McCullom Lake. He stopped the car and took the two oc­ cupants into custody. The third youth was located at his hoipe. Joseph Broderick, 19, of 4315 Sioux Lane, McHenry, was charged with seven complaints by Sunnyside and county police Saturday night. The incident began when Broderick was brought to the county jail by Sunnyside police. He had been charged with several traffic violations as well as two counts of aggravated battery, one of criminal damage to property and resisting a police officer. While going through the admittance procedure, Broderick became very un­ cooperative and started fighting with officers. Before being subdued, he succeeded in breaking a thick glass window in the admittance area. County police charged him with ad­ ditional counts of aggravated assault, resisting a police of­ ficer and criminal damage to ' property. His total bond was set "at $11,075 and he is to appear in court Oct. 14. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) within six weeks. That was three weeks ago. But last week traffic on the bridge was denied and operations started. We will probably never be sure, but a good guess is that officials believe the sooner the bridge is down, the sooner unpleasant noises will cease. Unfortunately, some of us have a bit of the elephant in us, and this has no reference to politics this election year. We have a memory for those things that are important to us. The bridge is important to many as a legacy from another era. W i t h o u t r e a s o n s m o r e i m ­ portant for its demise than have come our way, it is a heritage we are angry about losing. No gleaming steel that will replace the landmark is likely to make us soon forget!

Selby of RWA, Ltd., which is specializing exclusively in solar projects.

Klemm advised the County board that increases in the new salary schedule were held to 10* 2 per cent or beloW and they made every attempt to classify people correctly. Board Member Ed Buss noted that he was against the half step provided in the (> i R0YCE HY-GAIN SILTR0NIX WONDER LAKE. schedule which Klemm had explained was to take care Of those employees who had earned a merit increase, but did not get it last year. Klemm said the ranges of increases would be about 5, 7'* and 10 percent., Buss warned that he would vote against the schedule. Much of this is not warranted, he said. Clerks in private in­ dustry do not make this much ($7,000) and referred to the benefits which county em­ ployees enjoy, thirteen paid holidays, health and life in­ surance, retirement and so forth. Buss also asserted that the projected funds on hand for Dec. 1, 1976, was a misleading figure, noting that it contained state sales tax items which would be three months late. "You don't have it, and if you remain on this board for seventeen years you'll never have this amount," Buss claimed. Ron Morris, another board member, said he wanted others to know that this is not a balanced budget. The sum­ mary of general funds shows proposed expenditures of $5,537,391 and projected revenue of $5,232,220 leaving a deficit of $305,171. Willis- Simms, board mem­ ber, agreed, "At this pace we will be headed into a deficit budget." George Starr moved that the board delete the $15,000 reserved in the County Board account for a possible ad­ ministrative assistant. In answer to Morris' inquiry "Why?" Starr noted that, "We don't need another beaurocrat. We need more Indians instead of chiefs." As County board members argued to retain the amount so that the new board would have the option of deciding whether they wanted a full time board chairman or a part timer, Walter Dean, present board chairman, reminded them that they couldn't wait too much longer to decide about the matter. Marx Jones insisted they didn't have the time that night to discuss it thoroughly. If the amount is deleted it would foreclose such a decision about an administrator later. Thore Emricson also reminded the board that it had instructed him to contact other boards for information about their experience with ad­ ministrative assistant positions, and according to their own rules, reference is made to a personnel director, which the county with over 600 employees needs. After Starr was rebuffed in this area, he tried again with a motion to remove the $3,300 in the same account earmarked for a contribution or dues to the Northeast Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC). Dianne Easty, board member and designated NIPC representative, urged them to stay with NIPC for at least one more year since the county was so heavily involved in 208 (Clean Water) work, and there are ways of getting more service, she asserted. Emricson supported her. "We can get some help from NIPC about the water shortage which will occur in the near future" he-suggested. Walter Dean explained that at a recent conference he was advised there was a warning of diminishing water levels in the upper and lower aquifers and high water in Lake Michigan was damaging shore lines, so there was a move to allocate more lake water as far west as Rockford for cities, and to recharge the aquifers. It would be supplied by pipe. They might need NIPC's cooperation to participate in this program. Skinner said the $3,300 represented only a part of the county's contribution. This is only a token, he said. Through the county 's participation in 208 program NIPC is getting $7,000,000 in a federal grant. NIPC wouldn't back out simply ^am _C.B. _ SALES & SERVICE SKYHAWK mnacomm POLAMAR (AND MANY MORE) SEE US FIRST FOR C.B. RADIOS .

Phyllis Walters expressed the opinion of many board members. "We are tired of promises. We want results. This $3,300 will show our determination." Emricson said he agreed with Marx Jones statement that they should support the board's representative, Easty. And the majority of the board agreed. Tom Huemann, Cal Skinner, Sr., and Buss also questioned an item of $10,000 for Senior Citizen centers. Buss suggested these facilities should be supported on a local or town- , ship basis. Provisions were being made to aid five centers. "What about the balance of the seventeen townships in the county?" he asked. "It could become a political football." Emricson believed the board should favor the proposal, that there were federal funds available to assist the centers once they were established for a year. Huemann waxed disgust by the prospect of spending of $10,000 here and $10,000 there by townships reaching all the way up to the federal govern- metn. "No wonder we've lost it all" he exclaimed. "People used to meet in churches or lodge halls for a card game We've lost sight of our priorities." As the sheriff's budget was being considered, Buss moved to table action until the board had resolved the matter of the referendum on the proposed sheriff's tax. The members discussed the sheriff's actual need and argued whether their carry-over balance was ac­ tually a surplus and could it handle the extras asked for by the Sheriff's department. Buss finally concluded there would actually be less than $400,000 on hand in December, if even that, and he thought the question of a tax levy should be on the ballot to let the people decide. A1 Collins proposed a resolution to authorize the referendum question to be carried in the township elec­ tions in the Spring in place of the question now believed to be illegally carried on the general election ballot for Nov. 2. His proposed question would limit the tax rate to .05 and to be voted on and effective only in the rural or unincorporated areas. After some debate, the board voted on the referendum resolution again, this time approving it 14 to 6 with 3 ab­ sent. Originally the resolution passed with only one dissenting vote.

OCTOBER 15, 1976 MCC No. I Program Employment Training Act Contract Extended At a special meeting held Oct. 7, the board of trustees of McHenry County college ap­ proved an extension of the Comprehensive Employment Training Act (CETA) contract through Sept. 30, 1977, at the Oct. 7 meeting.

The $69,076 contract between CETA and the college is for college related services and personnel. The board also reviewed the revised board policy manual.
