PACK 20 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. MARCH 17. J978^ [ Members of the McHenry-Woodstock League of Women Voters | listen as a three-member panel discusses land-use planning in 1 McHenry and Woodstock. The panel consisted of (seated from left [to right, with back to camera) McHenry Mayor Joseph Stanek, 'McHenry City Planner Willis Martin, and Woodstock Planning I Commission Chairman Alan Cornue. The meeting, held March 9 in McHenry, was the last in a series of forums conducted by the league in its Cities-Urban Crisis study. Each panel member explained his views on land planning and was questioned by league members in attendance.

"In Woodstock, the Planning ; commission also establishes ;most of the zoning policies," he • stated, "while in McHenry, !there is a separate zoning ;board." ; Cornue added that in both icities, the City Council has the \final say on zoning policies, ; while the boards can only make • recommendations. ! According to Martin, this ; causes a deficiency in McHenry planning "The zoning board •changes zones although they 'might not concur with the ;plan," he told the league. • Stanek explained the !necessity of controlling what ;the city services. "Areas en­ joying city services must be 'annexed, Allowing the city to .'enjoy the tax benefits," said ;McHenry s mayor. • "How do the planning [commissions determine the ;feelings of the public regarding ;future land use?" questioned a league member. ; "Woodstock attempts to get a sampling of the community on !the commission," answered iCornue, "but that is all we do to jget the public opinion." i Martin stated that McHenry did not have a planning land- use questionnaire, because most people in the area would not be informed enough to answer it reasonably. All three panel members stressed the importance of an informed electorate, in order that community goals and objectives can be established. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) sweeping machine making its rounds Sometimes that "nothing special" is the day the spring seed catalog arrives just when you had decided winter was here to stay Very often this kind of day comes in the spring and the arrival of the catalog gives us illusions of grandeur as we carefully peruse each page, at the smae time savoring a choice edible as we picture it next July. Pictures of the full grown fruits or vegetables make the mouth water and we anticipate great things. It is of no great concern now that our great expectations may very well come down to earth as the season gets under way and the insects, weather and weeds do what comes naturally. In our daydreams, we only see the ample rewards of our labors and financial outlay and they are memorable moments. But daydreams are made of other things besides seed catalogs, and some of these made their way to our desk in recent days. Happy As Day 78 Hot Dog!

She tells of a whopping $20,200 in donations and pledges during the 24-hour period. The money is badly needed at the Easter Seal Therapy center to continue providing a service to county people in need. As Bonnie said it so well, "the concept of community support for not-for-profit organizations is one that is ignored by a few, passively acknowledged by some and accepted as their responsibility by many". Another heartwarming message in that mail came from the author of "Grandma Sez", who moved from our community sometime ago but continues to write an oc­ casional column expressing her homespun philosophy. She reminded that the time passes quickly by telling us that it was ten years ago Feb. 22 that she introduced her column in the Plaindealer. Recalling the many changes in those ten years, and since she moved to McCullom Lake in 1961, Grandma aptly stamps this as "a changed world".

Dr. Farmer summed up his conclusions by stating that based on the same program cost figure established by SEDOM, which is $450, and transportation cost of $150, the total cost for the 295 students would be $177,000. The second rejection came when board members were given information concerning regular summer school. For the past two years the state has not funded summer school and the situation con­ tinues this year. Because of the lack of funding, the district offered summer school for 1977 on a tuition basis but lack of adequate enrollment caused the program to be cancelled. An enrollment of 100 is needed to keep the school from losing money. Agreeing with the superin­ tendent that any effort to pursue a tuition program would again be futile, the board determined that summer school would not be held. In other action, the board accepted the administration- recommended boundary line for school attendance as the Crystal Lake blacktop. Members also agreed that children now attending Edgebrook-McHenry Junior PATRICK'S Corned Beef & Cabbage ALL YOU CAN EAT SERVED FRI. MARCH 17 11 to 2 and 5 to 8 Movers, at left, remove a foosball machine from the Old Bridge tavern in McHenry under the watchful eye of McHenry Police Lt. Robert Kranz, during Wednesday's raid by law enforcement agents. The machine was one of twenty, coin-operated amusement machines confiscated in the McHenry area for not having a state tax stamp. Above, a Illinois Department of Revenue agent searches for a serial number of a pinball machine at Changes Disco, north of McHenry, that was confiscated during the raid. According to police, the owners and operators of the premises which were entered during the raid are not a part of the illegal operation and are not at fault. The owners of the machines, who In some instances are believed to be crime syndicate figures, are responsible for the purchase of state tax stamps. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD high schools who will not now be in compliance with the new line, be permitted to continue their attendance through those schools. Letters are being sent to all realty firms of McHenry and the McHenry County Multiple Listing service, advising of the school board's plans so they may help clients in determining school district boundaries or sub-district attendance areas. Until now, the boundary line dividing the Valley View- Parkland school attendance area from the Edgebrook- McHenry Junior high area has been the railroad tracks on the north side of Rt. 120 and the Boone Creek bridge on the south side. Until the Fox Ridge area began to develop, no southward projection of the Boone creek line was necessary as the Whispering Oaks and Garden Quarter areas were providing few children. In recent years, however. Whispering Oaks has begun to change and the school district is experiencing increasing numbers of children from that neighborhood. However, it is the rapid growth of Fox Ridge and the potential on southward to Bull Valley that caused the administration to feel a need for a more definite and clear boundary line. On a vote to amend a resolution which will change the time for poll opening at the April 8 school board election, Members Gary Lockwood and Dorothy Vick voted negatively. The resolution read that the polls would be open from noon to 7 p.m , which is the customary time period. However, at the request of High School District 156 that the time span be increased because of the bond issue referendum, the amendment was proposed, and with majority approval, will find the polls open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Considerable time was spent on the Energy Audit and Energy Conservation update. Business Manager William Landis reported on progress to date and noted that principals have received instructional materials programs which may be incorporated into the curriculum. The administration has had Northern Illinois Gas company conduct a combustion ef­ ficiency survey on the boilers in all buildings and test reports are available to aid a firm conducting an energy audit. Several resignations were accepted, including Carrie CLAIM 20 MACHINES IN McHENRY RAID (Continued from page 1) operations in the outlying Chicago area counties, in­ cluding McHenry. "This is our way of telling the syndicate that we don't want them," the sheriff explained, "and we want them to stay out." State agents operated in three teams throughout the county, using three trucks to haul the illegal machines to Chicago. Agents indicated that if more trucks were available, the total number of machines confiscated would have been much higher. In McHenry, four businesses were entered and the amusement machines present were confiscated. The Old Bridge tavern, Foxes' Run, Sportsman's and Ye Olde Corner Tap had all b(g£n victimized by illegal amUs€!nent machine owners. McHenry Police Chief George Pasenelli agreed with Sheriff Tyrrell. "The operators in whose premises these raids are taking place are not connected in any way with the illegal operations and have not broken the law," said Pasenelli "We are just cleaning up the town, and ridding it of these illegal operations." Changes Disco, on Route 31 north of McHenry, was also raided and six machines were loaded onto the truck. At Changes, law enforcement agencies were confronted by a man claiming to be an owner of Sagittarius, Inc., one of the companies operating giming machines illegally in the county. The man questioned the right to confiscate the machines when the business was closed. State Revenue Agent-In- Charge Mike Berry explained that the previous night the business had been open and the machines were in operation Grove Lichty and Patti May, of the Primary departments at Hilltop and Edgebrook schools, respectively. In the classified staff category, resignations were accepted for Beth Shipley, Mary Nemtusak, Mae Wagner and Dorothy Newpaort. Judith Warren was employed as a teacher aide at Junior high. without tax stamps, thereby warranting their confiscation. According to law en­ forcement officials, there is no record of Sagittarius, Inc., being licensed in the State of Illinois. Sagittarius is believed to base its operations in the vicinity of Elk Grove Village. Following the raid, the confiscated machines were taken to Illinois Department of Revenue headquarters in Chicago for storage. Owners of the machines will be able to pick up their devices, but will have to pay a fine for each machine, the cost of transportation and storage, and the cost of current tax stamps. COUNTY TO OBSERVE AGRICULTURE DAY (Continued from page 1) said a deadline of 4:30 p.m. Friday, March 17, has been set by the collecting officials for reservations- allliMglPiome people clh be accommodated during the week if they will call. As far as preparing for the opportunity to donate, officials ask only that a person not consume any alcoholic beverages for six hours prior to donating blood. "We hope for a good turnout to help add to our area's blood supply and to help observe an important day when farmers are recognized nationally," concluded Harris FOOD LABELGUIDE A publication from the Food and Drug Administra­ tion, A Consumer's Guide to Food Labels, contains valu­ able information that can help consumers find out more about what they're get­ ting in the products they buy.
