PAGE IS - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 18, If17 OPPOSE BIG PENSION LEVY FOR POLICE DEPARTMENT (Continued from page 1) how much money should presently be in the Pension fund, said that the money had to come from a tax levy rather than from other resources. "My thinking is that if it's proven we're derelict, we can take it from the General fund," Stanek said. "I don't" like someone from Springfield telling us how to run our town." "I have to agree," Raymond Smith said. Edward Datz noted that "we already have almost $350,000 in this fund. How high a reserve do we have to have? It would take a literal catastrophe at this tim£to dissolve our fund." "The key word here is in­ surance," Stanek added. "If you bought all the insurance the insurance man wanted to sell you, you'd be working for no one but the insurance com­ pany." Police Detective Gary Wigman, one of four members of the Police Pension board, reported that "only one person is drawing from the Pension fund at this particular point. However," he cautioned, "it's not always going to be that way." Police Chief Ken Espey will be the second man drawing from the fund when he retires in February. Wigman noted that there are many officers in their 90s right now, and if they all stay on the force, they will all begin drawing from the Pension fund at the same time. One final question was directed at Narusis. The aldermen wanted to know what legal ^recourse the Police Pension board and the Illinois Department of Insurance has since the city is refusing to levy at the apparent required amount. Narusis stated that a court could order the city to pay the balance. The city officials then felt that if they would be forced by a court to pay $47,296 to the Pension fund, that they would attempt to do it from the General fund. In other action, the City Council voted unanimously to adopt expense accounts for all elected city officials, with the accounts retroactive to May 1, 1977. City officials will be able to ; receive compensation for long distance telephone calls, hotels, • meals, and travel, expense ' incurred in doing official city . business. City officials will now . be paid thirteen cents per mile * for use of their automobiles in driving places on official city business. The Council also agreed,,to advertise for bids for the construction of a new well, No. 6, on property near where well No. 5 is presently located. At last week's meeting, Alderman George Harker had voiced some concerns over the apparent change in plans for the depth of the well from earlier plans he had seen. During the week, the present proposal was explained to him, and Harker was satisfied with the plan. Alderman Walther Schaedel reported that he is presently in the process of examining the reason behind an increase in the city phone bill from $200-- 300 to $700-$800. He is expected to have complete data in three weeks. William Bolger reported that the Library board is seeking between $50 and $100 for its share from a planned Developer Contribution or­ dinance which the city is presently working on. The city will get its first chance to utilize the Developer Contribution ordinance on Oct. 3, when a public hearing will be held concerning the possible annexation of land just south of the Wheelock property on Draper road. The meeting will be a joint gathering, including the Zoning board, the Planning com­ mission, and the City Council. Another public hearing has been scheduled for Monday, Oct. 10, to discuss a change in plans for Pleasant Valley, Rt. 120, just east of Draper road. As for the Oct. 3 meeting, the Zoning board, Planning commission, and City Council will all attend. Finally, the City Council meeting for next week has been changed from Monday night to Tuesday night. The meeting will start at 8 p.m. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) purchase of a radar unit, saw fit to come up with money for operational expenses of the library and with a few badly needed children's books. Books for youngsters are still described as the Achilles' heel of this library, however, since only a few have been donated One of the most exciting innovations came in August with the start of a regular children's program. Yvonne Alton, well known for her theatre performances in the county, organized a series of story hours, puppet shows and educational programs for children of all ages. A small charge was made and all proceeds placed directly into a fund for the purchase of children's books. A small beginning with a tedious overtones? Maybe, but any zealous supporter of something worth­ while will tell you beginnings are always that way. Exciting? Possibly not for the average citizen. But things of lasting value always hold excitement for those special individuals who account for the successes others enjoy. KAF AN EYE ON THE CAPITOL • (Continued from page 1) the McHenry elementary school district board." "Dad has always told all seven of us - I have three brothers and three sisters - that when a community does good things for you, it is iftorm of repayment to serve that community in some capacity. So what my father and brother are doing now in McHenry county, I'm trying to do at Purdue." Katy sees legal training and a law degree as * excellent preparation for a successful career in almost any profession, and that includes elective political office. But she does not expect to jump from law school into a campaign for Congress. "I plan to work up to that, " she said. "Possibly a county position first, next maybe the state legislature and then, if all goes well, the U.S. House of Representatives." The magnitude and diversity of problems that flow into a Congressional office has im­ pressed her. So, she said, has the Congressman himself.

Mci:r""" "" (SOUTH RTE. 31) 385-0882 WITHHOLD BUSS BUILDING PERMIT (Continued from sage 1) City Council overruled the Zoning board, granting the rezoning of the land from single-family homes to com­ mercial. Mayor Joseph Stanek then vetoed the Council action, but the aldermen overrode the mayor's veto, and again granted the zoning change. The .Concerned Citizens For McHenry group was then formed, consisting of property owners in the Edgebrook Heights subdivision. The new dealership would lie an empty field away from the western edge of Edgebrook Heights. , In commenting on the preliminary injunction, Buss stated that he thought the decision "was very fair to both sides." Julia S. Jessup, an apparent spokesman for the Concerned Citizens, stated that "the in­ junction was issued to preserve the status quo in order to prevent any irreparable injury to nearby property and homeowners to which there is no adequate legal remedy." In her written statement, Mrs. Jessup did not comment on the $50,000 bond which the Concerned Citizens must post, which, if Buss wins the trial, would be used to cover in­ creased costs in material and labor due to a delay in con­ struction. Bernard Narusis, attorney for the city of McHenry, co-1 defendant with Buss, explained that he was glad the matter of issuing building permits was decided by the court. He noted that if it hadn't been, should the city have issued building permits to Buss (Busshad requested them), the city would probably have been sued by the Concerned Citizens, and if the city refused to issue the permits, it probably would have been sued by Buss. Thus, the present status of the situation finds a court in­ junction preventing any con­ struction by Buss, or issuance of any building permits by the city of McHenry, for ten days. Should the Concerned Citizens post a $50,000 bond, the in­ junction would remain in effect until the trial, which is, scheduled to begin Oct. 24 at 9:30 a.m. in the Woodstock courthouse, r ARREST THREE ADULTS FOR THEFT FROM LUMBER YARD (Continued from page 1) The vehicle was. apparently owned by Larry J. Robinson of Lake Zurich, and had been reported stolen in Arlington Heights. The vehicle was towed away until Arlington Heights police detectives can complete their investigation. Thus far, no arrests have been made. Except for the several arrests, it was a relatively quiet week, with few area businesses and residents victimized by thieves. One of the biggest thefts involved the stealing of four snowmobiles from Adams Lawn & Leisure, 2103 Rt. 120, McHenry. The theft occurred last week, when someone took the snowmobiles in their original shipping crates from, where they had been stored behind the building. Apparently, there were no witnesses. Paul Aleckson of 4906 Roger street, McHenry, told police that sometime early Saturday, someone succeeded in gaining entry to his locked auto while it was parked in front of his home, stealing his cassette tape player and his wallet, which contained personal iden­ tification, credit cards, and about $100 cash.' Ronald Spitzbart of 8314 N. Solon road in Solon Mills told police that someone entered-his van and stole his CB radio, two speakers, a stereo tape case, and about thirty-five tapes. At 10:05 a.m. Saturday, Curtis Hoover of 117 Emerald, McHenry, told police that during the night, someone entered his garage and stole a CB radio from each of the two cars parked inside. Finally, Robert Sass of 4616 W. Solon road in Richmond reported to police Monday that over the weekend, while he was away, someone entered his barn and stole an impact wrench. Apparently, there were no witnesses.̂ JUVENILES TO COURT FOR CANNABIS SALE (^Continued from page 1) According to a police report, an officer, while on routine patrol, observed an auto parked along the roadway, and in nearing the vehicle, ob­ served someone run from a nearby field to the auto and start to drive away. The officer stopped the vehicle to investigate and apparently discovered a large canvas bag filled with freshly harvested marijuana plants. The two Koffskis were then arrested and taken to McHenry county jail, where bond and a court date were set. SAVE GIRL FROM DROWNING (Continued from page 1) were told that the girl suddenly vanished. A complete search of the area was made, with the little girl found in the water, under the pier, hanging onto a pillar, She was immediately taken to McHenry hospital, where she was treated for exposure, and was then released. Police indicated that if the child had let go of the pillar, she quite probably would have drowned. The girl said she was wan­ dering around when she fell in the water. MEET FOR RETARDED The board of directors of 1 McHenry County Association for the Retarded will hold its regular meeting Sept. 22 at 8 p.m. at 4803 West Route 120, McHenry.

There was an agreement to enter into a three year lease with and maintenance of school busse^hf^M^^telMcH&n ̂ Sand 4 Gravel company, 1819 Dot street, and the monthly rental is 8833.34. - The cost will be shared by the two McHenry school districts on the ratio of busses each owns. The grade school will pay 58 percent and the high school, the remaining 42 percent Favorable comments on the pro-school inservice program made special note of the address by Dr. Hugh Schoephoerster, director of the Minnesota Right To Read project. The noted author and lecturer was well received by local teachers. Some discussion took place on proposed boundary line changes within the district. Administrators pointed to the infthix of large numbers of pupils in schools where new developments are adding homes. Although not all plans for change have been scheduled, it is known that all new subdivisions along Crystal Lake road will send students to Parkland school. Prior to this discussion, members learned that there is an increase of more than 100 students in the district over last year. The escalation is expected to continue with the growth of Fox Ridge, Settlers' Woods, Water's Edge and Brittany Park, ale with substantial development in McHenry Shores and Lakelai Park. With one negative vote, the board voted approval of a cooperative use of a bank of phones which will be established in East campus for the October referendums. The two districts will share the cost. Member Gary Lockwood expressed his disapproval of spending public money for public relations and voted accordingly. Hie polls will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the fall elections, two hours longer than customary to accommodate those who wish to vote in the morning. More talk about possible unification of school districts took place and it was announced that three persons from District 15 would be named as representatives on a committee to explore details. Transportation Director Glawe noted there is a serious shortage of drivers. He expressed some surprise since it is possible to earn close to $15 a day for about two hours of work in the morning and again the afternoon. A welcome party for the new superintendent, Dr. Richard Farmer, was set for Sept 25 between 2 aid 4 p.m. at Parkland school. The gymnasium will be set aside for use of the children while parents become acquainted with the new administrator. The instructional meeting Sept 27 will be held at Parkland school. Area Police Incidents Include Family Dispute An apparent family dispute early Saturday morning resulted in the arrest of a young McHenry man on charges of battery, criminal damage to property, and disorderly conduct. Daniel Casella, 22, of 817 Porton road, southeast of McHenry, was the alleged offender, and was arrested following the apparent disturbance at 2:20 a.m. Police indicated that, after arriving at the Casella home, they found him to be un­ cooperative. It was also discovered that he had allegedly struck his mother, and had broken some of the household furnishings. As a result, he was arrested for the three offenses, with brad set at $2,525 for a Sept. 15 court appearance. Another arrest involved a Woodstock man who was, according to police, driving on Barreville road at Wright road (south of McHenry) in an erratic manner. Investigation revealed that Santiago Bustos of Woodstock had never been issued a driver's license. He was arrested for the offense, with bond set at $1,000 for a Sept. 22 court appearance. Elsewhere, John Seekings, 19, 418 Mineral Springs road, McHenry, and Richard Kleitsch, 17, Chicago, were charged with the offense of disorderly conduct after allegedly being involved in a disturbance Sunday night near the pearl street bridge. The police report indicated that Seekings and Kleitsch were seen trespassing on the bridge, and upon approaching them, one of the two became abusive and uncooperative.

A 26-year-old McHenry man was arrested by local police Wednesday morning after he left the courtroom adjacent to the police station. Robert A. White Jr., 1701 N. Richmond road, McHenry, had been wanted by the Schaum- berg Police department on a charge of deceptive practice. McHenry Police Lieutenant Robert Kranz recognised White in the courtroom, and a routine check unveiled the fact that he was being sought elsewhere. He was then transported to the county jail whr re he was to be picked up by the Schaum- berg police. One final incident during the week resulted in the arrest of Timothy Sands, 21, 3214 Elm street, McHenry, for disorderly conduct and resisting a peace officer. Sands was charged following an apparent traffic incident north of McHenry.
