PAGE 1« - PI.A iNDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7,1979 VIEW CITY ZONING ACTION (Continued from page 1) highest and best use for the land as well as the best way to go for the community." Klontz explained a factor he feels should be considered in the voting. "We have to look at what the petitioner or his business has done in the community," he said. He felt the city could pass judgment based on past experiences with the petitioner. "Someone from out of town who comes in for zoning cannot be judged on past experiences." "In the Althoff case," he continued, "here we had a civic-minded person from the community telling us exactly what he wanted to do with the property. Yet, it was denied." Klontz said it is not the best approach to have residential on one side of Route 31 past Kane street, while the other side is non­ residential. "Althoff was presenting a unique concept," Ms. Kauss cited,"It would be terrific for McHenry." "The city is being ill-advised," she continued. "They cannot continue with this extreme exclusion of business interests." Board member Cuda indicated a problem in the communication gap between the board and the Council may arise in the manner in which the board's recommendations are turned in. "Our written recommendations should be in greater detail," she explained, "because we are the only group to hear all the testimony. It may be advisable for the board to have more deliberation on the petitions and include the deliberation in the recommendation." "The report is very important," she added. All three members indicated the board was at a distinct disadvantage because a full board is seldom present at the hearings. The board is comprised of seven members and an affirmative vote of five members is needed to make a positive recommendation to the Council. ChairmanRon Wilkins has not been present at hearings for a couple of months, due to vacation. "There should be a full board to hear every case," Klontz said. "It is in the best interests of the city and the petitioners to have a full board present." "The board is not adequately filled," Ms. Kauss agreed. "The board just isn't large enough." Mrs. Cuda offered solutions to the problem. "Since people are appointed and volunteer," she indicated, "perhaps more people would be able to serve if the hearings were in the evenings." Most zoning hearings are presently held at 2 p.m. on Friday afternoons. "Then more business people would possibly be able to serve," she continued. "By making the meeting times more convenient," she added, "people would be more interested and willing to give more time. This would lead to better participation." Mrs. Cuda agreed with Ms. Kauss that a bigger board is needed. "A bigger board is needed or alternates should possibly be appointed," she said. "A full board is needed at all hearings to be fair to the city and the petitioner." All three members were in agreement the mayor and City Council should examine the board and do something to solve the problem of inadequacy. The same sentiments were echoed that a full board is always needed. "Without a full board, sometimes its impossible to have an affirmative or negative recommendation," according to Mrs. Cuda. "No decision doesn't mean we've failed in our job we are supposed to do, however." "As the city grows, its problems become more complex," Mrs. Cuda added. "Lines of communication between the board and the Council must be kept open." CAREER DAY FOR MCHS STUDENTS (Continued from page 1) eighth graders in "feedc schools. He ran a comparat study of the 1978 graduates\to discern what they are actually doing in the areas of school and work. The survey has provided a valuable perspective on McHenry high school students' career ambition and interest. When this is compared with what recent graduates are doing in their careers, the results are interesting. One part of the survey covered the consideration of full time work upon graduation. When the survey was taken, 15 percent of MCHS freshman girls (class of '82) were con­ sidering full time work upon graduation. However, 55 percent of the MCHS 1978 female graduates were ac­ tually employed full time as of January, 1979. The male percentages were not as varied, but even at the senior level, 36 percent of the male class of '79 were con­ sidering full time work upon graduation. The male '78 graduates indicated that 51 percent of their group were working full time in January of '79. The McHenry Aea Chamber of Commerce and McHenry High School District 156 see a need to make students more aware of the reality and im­ portance of career direction. Career day will provide the students an opportunity to meet and talk with people working in areas of the students' own interest. The McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce has taken the responsibility of providing MCHS students with ap­ proximately 90 individuals from the local area with whom to discuss their futures.

M.D. him in a position where he could view the position of the defendant as well as his new role as prosecutor. Management experience was another plus for Floro, ac­ cording to Klemm, who said the candidate for office has his own law firm. Klemm also said his honesty and integrity seemed to be above question and Floro had promised he would cooperate with the County board and others in government to serve the concerns of the citizens of this county. Klemm also saw as an ad­ vantage, Flora's prior service to other taxing agencies, giving him an understanding of both municipal and county laws. In conclusion, he noted that meeting the requirement of state law, he was of the same political party as the office holder he will replace. Floro will appear before the Audit and Court Services committee of the County board, members of which were present at the interviews. NEW MOBILE ICU DIRECTOR NAMED (Continued from page 1) of Wisconsin and Loyola university's Stritch School of Medicine. While in residency at Akron, Dr. Gallant assisted in the-* development of the paramedic system for the state of Ohio. He was recently ap­ pointed medical advisor to the board of directors of the National Association of e m e r g e n c y M e d i c a l Technicians. MORE EMERGENCY FUNDING MAY COME TO AREA (Continued from page 1) legislation working together to bring it about. However,the effectiveness of the new agency has been voided by the President's inaction in not appointing a national director for FEMA. As a result, political in fighting has developed with various factions competing for the appointment. In giving the background of the consolidation, Jones con­ ceded that government is not getting any simpler, that there have been encroachments of federal agencies on state agencies, and he apologized if his state agency had done similarly on the local groups. He noted that the concept for FEMA began in Illinois in 1975 when a model organization was set up and a position paper advocating its adoption by the rest of the states was drawn and presented to state and national governmental bodies.

FOR ADDITIONAL INFO: CALL 815-455-3700 Jones said that emergency services were fragmented at the federal level with no overall direction. Jones listed some of the offices that were formerly involved including units of National Civil Defense, Preparedness agency, the defense department, Disaster Aid of HUD, the Federal Preparedness agence of GSA, and others. Jones reiterated the need for a strong national director now and pointed out that more needed money for local agencies could result from the simplified organization savings in salaries. The single point contact will eliminate multiple reports and requests which made lots of jobs for bureaucrats, he commented. Jones noted that there were 4% pages of forms to complete just for snow clearing aid. "Disaster preparation should not be a political issue," he declared. Referring to certain monies that will be available, Jones urged the mayors to contact t h e i r c o n g r e s s i o n a l representatives to keep the fire going on the reorganization. This will speed up the help in situations such as the snow problem. He cited his ex­ perience in seeking aid for the southern Illinois snowstorm. The application was turned down. "You don't get help until the President makes a (disaster area) declaration," he explained. About the dates of incidence for snow aid, he said that these were established by a federal agency which had printed up a series of regulations and had them read into the Federal Register so that they had the effect of law. An Illinois delegation is striving with a retroactive bill to correct this inequity, Jones noted, but predicted that it probably won't be passed. - Jones noted also that there were extensive costs to the state to process the claims to bring in the federal money. He said it would probably take up to a year and a half to process the 1,100 applications for snow aid. McHenry is claiming $2,189, about 5 percent of the $35,000 cost to clean up after the Jan. 13 storm. In concluding his remarks. A McHenry man was arrested early Saturday morning after the car he was driving rolled over on River road. Sheriff's police arrested Steven Flick, 19,1306 Lily Lake road, while they were in­ vestigating the one-car ac­ cident at 4:50 a.m. While police were at; the scene, Flick reportedly arrived on foot in an intoxicated con­ dition and told police he had been the driver of the vehicle and had been alone. He indicated he had been southbound when his car slid off the road. Evidence in­ dicated the car left the roadway on the east shoulder, then skidded across to the west side and rolled over after striking a guardrail. ^ Police report Flick became belligerent and struck at in­ vestigating officers. He was arrested for disor­ derly conduct, aggravated assault, improper lane usage, unsafe tires, improper walking on roadway and driving at speeds greater than reasonable and proper. Bond was set at $1,175 with a court appearance scheduled for April 12. Three persons were injured in* a three-vehicle accident Saturday afternoon at Route 173 and Wilmot road in Rich­ mond township. Ronald S. Aull, Pell Lake, Wis., Albert J. Krueger, Rich­ mond, and Steven M. Miltimore, Richmond, were all taken to McHenry hospital by the Richmond Rescue squad following the mishap. According to police reports, the accident occurred when a car driven by John M. Aull, Pell Lake, Wis., struck the rear of a car driven by Krueger. The Krueger vehicle was then pushed into another vehicle driven by Wayne A. Cygan, 3715 Weingart road, McHenry, which was stopped at the stop sign. Aull was cited for driving too fast for conditions. Four persons were injured in a three-car arcgpent on River road last Thursday evening. Investigation by police revealed a vehicle driven by Chester C. Michalak, Island Lake, was southbound on River road when it crossed the cen- terline and hit a northbound vehicle driven by Gary B. Boyd, 2405 Bittersweet drive. After hitting the Boyd vehicle, the Michalak auto continued southbound about one-half mile south of the first accident, where it ran off the road onto the west shoulder, came back onto the roadway and hit another northbound vehicle driven by Clarence Dykhinzen, Chicago. Michalak, Dykhinzen and two passengers in the Dykhinzen vehicle, Josephine Dykhinzen, Chicago, and Leroy T. Kanzler, Wauconda, were all taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry rescue squad and all were admitted in good con­ dition for treatment of injuries. * Three persons were injured in a one-vehicle accident on Route 173 near Lakeview road in Richmond township early Friday morning. Michael P. Oeffling, 3803 N. St. John's avenue, Raymond J. Roach, 1703 Pleasant, and Gary R. Engstrom, 1210 EaJtwood lane, were all taken to McHenry hospital after the car which Oef fling was driving crashed in the heavy fog. Oeffling was reportedly southbound on Lakeview road when his car came to the stop sign at Route 173 in heavy fog. He tried to stop, but slid on the wet road across Route 173 into a snowbank and guardrail. There was no stopNihead sign prior to the actual stop sign. ' No tickets were issued in the accident. A three-vehicle accident on Thompson road Thursday afternoon injured two Wonder Lake residents. Patricia Paulin, 8501 Coral road, and Jill Stelter, 8518 Coral road, both of Wonder lake, were treated and released at Memorial hospital in Wood­ stock. According to Sheriff's police, Paulin was driving north on Greenwood road attempting to pass a vehicle driven by George Layoff, 8409 Ramble road, Wonder Lake, when Layoff reportedly applied his brakes, causing the Paulin vehicle to strike the rear of the Layoff auto. Another car, driven by Lorraine M. Prushinski, 9019 Acorn path, Wonder Lake, then struck the Paulin auto. Layoff was ticketed for reckless driving.
