CITY WATER OUTLOOK BRIGHT (Continued from page 1) small park. However, the motion to allow the Rotary club to construct the flagpole and donate it to the city passed unanimously. Alderman Elizabeth- Nolan commented on the Rotary project. "We are fast losing what little open space we have," she said 'I would like to commend the Rotary club for its foresight." "On behalf of the city, I would like to say 'thank you'," Mayor Stanek told Bruce. Edward Bonslett, a first ward resident, appeared before the Council, voicing his com­ plaints about the garbage collection 'service he has been receiving. In a sizzling attack on the McHenry-Woodstock Disposal company, Bonslett charged that while rates are continually going up, service is being reduced. "In the beginning," Bonslett said, "it was a driver and two men on a truck. Now, in my ward, it is one man alone. And, I heard that they are getting ready to soak us with another increase (in price)." A representative of the garbage company, Tom Scolaro, stated that the agreement with the city stipulates that, "we take up to four 32-gallon drums each week, which is larger than normal." Scolaro added that it has been a courtesy throughout the years for the men to take anything they can lift, although it has been policy not to dump large 55-gallon drums. The matter was referred to the License committee in hopes that the exclusive contract between the city and the disposal company can be better defined. Jake's Dead End lounge returned to the forefront at Tuesday's meeting, with the tavern's owner, Richard Jager, having filed an appeal with an appellate court in Chicago in an attempt to reopen the tavern. The business was closed recently when a circuit court judge in Chicago upheld the findings of the state Liquor commission and the local Liquor commissioner, Mayor Stanek, that the tavern should close. A decision favorable to Jager in the appellate court could reopen the tavern. While on the subject of taverns, the City Council reduced the number of tavern licenses available from eighteen to seventeen. This action prevents any person from demanding a liquor license for a tavern because there is one available. Now, a prospective tavern operator must go before the City Council and ask for a license. Beer in city parks also came under discussion, with City Attorney Bernard Narusis warning that the city could be held responsible if a person consumes beer in the park and is then involved in an incident. Insurance must be supplied by all organizations wishing to have alcoholic beverages in the parks so that the city will be protected if anything should happen. The unpopular Northern Illinois Planning commission asked the City Council for a resolution stating that the city accepts the wastewater needs analysis report from Baxter and Woodman as the best analysis of future needs that the city has, and that the city supports one of the eleven alternatives proposed, although which one is not known at this time. Although Stanek attempted to formulate a resolution, the aldermen spoke against NIPC, and the proposal was shelved. Also on NIPC, the City Council voted only four to three to pay the annual contribution to NIPC, this year at $353. The mayor also reported that the city tax rate on current tax bills was reduced from eighty- one cents to seventy cents, a significant reduction hidden by rising taxes elsewhere. The owner of Betty's Ice Cream Truck, an operation similar to the old Good Humor Man, appeared before the Council requesting a license to sell ice cream on the streets during the summer. It was revealed that the city has no limit on the number of companie that can be on the street, and the woman did not have to ask for Council ap­ proval. There will be three new employees working for the city beginning June 6, thanks to a grant which the city received to abate unemployment. The men will be involved in general city maintenance, and will work for one year. David Benrud sent a letter of resignation to the mayor, citing his activities as a member of the school board as the reason for leaving the Planning commission. The Johnsburg Boys Baseball league had its tag day changed from July 23 to July 16. The city of McHenry also agreed to join the Chamber of Commerce to become better informed on the planning and participation in Chamber projects. Finally, the City Council went into executive session to disfcuss a personnel situation. DISTRICT 12 NAMED IN TEACHERS' SUIT (Continued from page 1) such hiring immediately, the teachers "will suffer irreparable damage, loss, and harm, including, but not limited, to the loss of a job." Johnsburg Superintendent Duane Andreas was not available at press time for a comment. BURGLARIES SOLVED IN ARREST OF 10 JUVENILES (Continued frdm page 1) 1 The two youths were in possession of some of the stolen items, and were placed under arrest for the burglary. Further investigation revealed that a total of six juveniles were involved in the burglary, with five of them having been apprehended on a total of approximately nineteen separate charges. The six juvenile offenders range in age from 14-16, and all juveniles apprehended have lengthy juvenile records. In addition to the property stolen from the Country club, two stolen vehicles were also recovered. The vehicles had been stolen from two non-city residents late Friday night, and McHenry county Detective Larry Macheroux is handling the arrests in the two car thefts. The five arrests made in the burglary of the Justen Funeral home were the result of the sharp-eyed work of McHenry Police Officer Robert Winters and Sergeant Robert Zujewski. At 8 p.m. Sunday, Robert A. Justen reported a burglary and damage to the garage behind the funeral home. A fire extinguisher had been discharged throughout the garage, and a funeral home limousine sustained extensive damage. An attempt was also made to enter the funeral home proper, but the effort failed. While investigating the burglary, Officer Winters noticed an unusual footprint made in the dust from the fire extinguisher. Upon completion of the burglary report, a complaint was received by the police department regarding youths SUBSCRIBE To The McHenry Plaindealer And Save 110.30 Over Newstand Price FILL OUT AND MAIL OR BRING TO: McHENRY PLAINDEALER 3812 W.

The three youths creating the disturbance were taken to the police department, where Winters discovered that one of the youths had an unusual shoe, matching the footprint at the funeral home garage. Questioning of the youths resulted in the apprehension of a total of five juveniles for burglary, including the three taken into custody for the A & P incident. None of the five youths arrested had a prior criminal history, and they were released to the custody of their parents. Charges against them are forthcoming, and they will be petitioned into juvenile court at a later date. Despite the efforts of area police departments, not all crimes committed over the weekend were solved. At 11:15 a.m. Sunday, police investigated a theft at Fatt's restaurant, 6817 State Park road in Spring Grove. During the early morning hours, someone stole several pieces of outdoor furniture from the patio. Taken were three tables, twelve benches, six chairs, a serving cart, a flower cart, and two umbrellas with bases. There were no witnesses to the crime. Finally, Saturday morning, police investigated the theft of an automobile owned by Theodore Matula, 312 Country Club drive, McHenry. During the night, his car was stolen from his property, and a search of the area failed to find any trace of the vehicle. CLEAN-UP DAYS START JUNE 6 (Continued from page 1) railroad tracks.

The regular business meeting will be held June 21. f ;/ Courage Is Recognized Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell, has announced that commendations were presented to Deputy George A. Weber, auxiliary patrolman Robert Finkbeiner, and Niels P. Hansen, left, outstanding citizen. A resident of Kankakee, Hansen is employed by the Hansen Marine Service, McHenry. The awards were for exemplary conduct displayed during the aftermath of a tragic auto accident that occurred April 28, at the intersection of Spring Grove and Ringwood roads. One of the two vehicles involved burst into flames resulting in the death of the driver. As the car became totally enveloped in flames, Weber, Finkbeiner and Hansen, at great risk to their own lives and safety, extricated the wife of the driver from the rear portion of the burning automobile. The driver of the other vehicle, a lone occupant, was not seriously injured, but the rescued woman subsequently died of the injuries sustained. The sheriff stated that the three men displayed "great courage, and performed in a manner far above that of the usual and normal circumstances". Teenagers Blamed For Crash Report Failure Two area teenagers were ticketed for failing to report an accident to police authorities after their cars collided last Saturday night at the in­ tersection of Lincoln road and Cuhlman road. Both Jeffery T. Hankins of 4609 Home in McHenry and Lucy Hawkins of 2408 W. Country lane, also in McHenry, were cited by police sometime after the collision. - In addition, Hankins was ticketed for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident after police determined the events leading up to the collision. Neither driver was injured in the crash which caused ap^ proximately $500 damage to the Hankins car and an estimated $600 damage to the Hawkins ' auto. Hankins told police that when he came over a little hill, the Hawkins auto was in front of him at a stop sign. He added that he tried to go around her car, but still made contact. Ms. Hawkins stated she was stopped at a stop sign when she was struck in the rear by the Hankins auto. Also ticketed during the week was Kevin M. Doran, 8920 Woody Trail, Wonder Lake, who was cited for failing to yield when turning left after a two-car collision Tuesday af­ ternoon at the intersection of Rt. 120 and Charles road. Neither Doran, nor the driver of the other car, Anthony J. Hrolicka, 4705 Winnebago, Wonder Lake, was ticketed in the crash which caused $200 damage to the Hrolicka car and an estimated $300 damage to the Doran auto. Doran stated that he was making a left turn, and a friend, who was driving in the other oncoming lane of traffic, stopped to let him turn. He added that he did not see the Hrolicka car until contact was made due to other traffic. Hrolicka stated that he was traveling in his lane of traffic when the Doran car pulled out i in front of him. Keniston W. Oltrogge, 338 Willow road, McHenry, was victimized by a hit-and-run driver Saturday in the parking lot on Green street. He told police that he parked his car for a period of nine hours, and during that time an unknown vehicle struck his auto on the left passenger door. Damage to the car was estimated at $100, and no evidence leading to the driver of the offending vehicle has been uncovered. EarL White, 7720 Deep Springs road, Wonder Lake, and the driver of the other car, Peter,-iM. Layer, Woodstock, were fioth taken to McHenry hospital by the Wonder Lake Rescue squad for treatment of injuries sustained when their two car collided head-on Monday evening on McCullom Lake road. White was ticketed for im­ proper passing. According to police, White was westbound on McCullom Lake road, west of Ringwood, and was passing anbther vehicle when his car collided with the Layer car. Finally, an accident in late May resulted in Claire L. Noonan, 1407 N. Chapel Hill road, McHenry, being taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad. Ms. Noonan was ticketed for making an improper left turn after striking an auto driven by Zito M. Perry, 5410 W. Hillside, McHenry. The Perry automobile sustained an estimated $300 worth of damage, $400 less than damage incurred .by the Noonan vehicle. Ms. Perry stated she was westbound on Rt. 120 in the inner lane, and upon ap­ proaching the Goodyear Tires driveway, the Noonan car came out of the driveway, causing the accident. Ms. Noonan stated she was stopped, and was going to make a left turn on Rt. 120 at the Goodyear Tires driveway. She added that she looked both ways, observed a truck turning right, into the Goodyear driveway, and ob­ served no traffic coming. She concluded by saying that she went ahead with her maneuver when the collision occurred.
