On submitting his letter of resignation to the YSB board, Timm said, "This is a position I did not seek. Staff of the Task force contacted me, asking me to join them.

The Village of Holiday Hills Cheri Hoglund 385-3944 Rosemary Holtz 344-0615 Village Land Threatened By County Request A proposal for reclass­ ification from a farm status to that of gravel mining has come before the McHenry County Zoning board. The proposed site is that land north of the village, behind residents living on Sunset drive. The president and the village board have offered objections in the form of a resolution which was passed unamimously at the village board meeting Feb. 16. The solution states that the gravel pit might hinder any future growth of the village, that it would create an eyesore and a nuisance and that it reduces the potential value of properties in Holiday Hills. All residents are urged to attend the hearing March 2 to voice their opinion to the McHenry Zoning Board of Appeals at the county cour­ thouse, Woodstock. THIS KIND OF EAGLE ISN'T EXTINCT!

A general meeting will be held March 7 for the purpose of nominating officers - the election being held March 19. Dues have been reduced per year and the by-laws have been changed so that any officer may hold office for more than one consecutive year. A survey was also announced to be taken from the residents on their comments or opinions concerning the H.H.P.O.A. The property owners is a failing organization that has much to offer the residents, but it needs your support and cooperation so that the village will be what you want and more. Without the association, the cost of grading and snowplowing our roads will increase and so will our taxes. The beach, boat ramps and parks cannot be properly maintained and social func­ tions will cease. We ask you to attend the meeting march 7 at Casey's hall and become in­ volved in your village.
