New freeways and some smaller facilities are being proposed to bypass congested arterials in certain areas where full freeways are not warranted, Ryan concluded. feAIL COMMUTER SERVICE WILL BE CUT IN PLANNING (Continued from page 1) would be improved to the tollway to which a connection would be provided. Ryan said that both plans envision a new freeway from O'Hare to Elgin. Howenstine and Jim Vuegeler, also representing the Defenders, said that many people in the county were asked for safe trails, possibly along roads, for bicycles, horses and snowmobiles. He suggested that a trail network be included in CATS plans. Rakow pointed out a limitation of safety for such trails which would require a physical separation from a roadway, and because existing roads would need more right- of-way to accommodate this it would not be practical. But such trails could be designed into freeway plans which are now in the tentative stage. A Department of Tran­ sportation official added that an "origin-destination" study of recreation travel for the northeast McHenry county area is being scheduled to gather data for use by NIPC and CATS in their planning. Ryan gave a background of the Year 2000 plan which he said came about when the first 20-year plan (originally Year 1955, completed in 1975) seemed inadequate in light of new factors and changes in transportation policies. These included increasing gasoline prices, road building costs and available monies. He said that CATS was aiming for more fiscal reality in its planning, and it had to consider capital needs in the terms of long range maintenance. Also, it wanted some leeway with its finances. It had come to realize that federal grant programs changed with different ad­ ministrations and congresses and the planners couldn't always foresee what monies would be available. This reevaluation of needs and resources, Ryan said, led to the first four test networks which were designed for computer analysis. A public hearing on these proposals was held at the Opera House in Woodstock in March, Ryan said, as part of the many hearings for the NIPC region. The input from these meetings led to the development of the two additional network proposals covering rapid transit lines in and near Chicago, commuter of rail networks, and highway net­ works. The emphasis in the planning was to provide for maintaining the existing transportation SCHOOL LOOKS AT NON-COMPLIANCE (Continued from page 1) ments must be forwarded to the county, where the necessary actions to activate the donation ordinance must be made. In other action, the board approved a resolution to establish a working cash fund for the district which results in the levy of a .05 cent tax rate per hundred. In a board action taken earlier this year, the working cash fund had been abolished and the money transferred to the Education fund. „ Since there are many new members of the board, William Landis, assistant superin­ tendent for operations, added much information to the budget working papers for their un­ derstanding. The board agreed to a 7 p.m. session or workshop on the budget at the beginning of one of the next board meetings. Personnel actions approved by the board included the resignation of Jane Goehler as teacher at Valley View and Jeff Ford of physcial education at McHenry Junior high; also the hiring of John Rigby as fifth grade teacher at Valley View and Sharon Shafer as special education teacher at Junior high, both at salaries of $10,338 to start subject to negotiations. Other employment included Sarah Oeffling as half time receptionist, and Bennet Mayberry, Kevin Wynveen, Steve Toole, Brian Landis, Tim O'Toole, Dwight Hibicke and John Mclnerney, all for summer maintenance. Resignations included Marta Goertemiller as transportation secretary, Virginia Banks as bus driver, James Whiston as custodian and Janet Tomal as a Title I aide. The board noted that John Rigby's credentials included a statement from the principal of Olive school, where Rigby did his student teaching who said that he was the finest student teacher they ever had and McHenry would be "nuts" not to employ him. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) leader of his flock, reminding of the necessity of perserverance In Faith. At other times, his were the consoling words that comforted the bereaved. And best of all were the times he was there to preside and give encouragement to the bride and groom, and to couples who had repeated their vows many years before. And mingled with the ster- ness, the consolation and the encouragement were the more frequent times when he merely led, always with the broad smile. Especially to the older generation, he was the needed stability in changing times. They were there in large numbers Sunday to see him receive the key to the city and to wish him well in his retirement. If all of them had been able to speak, it seemed quite evident they would have stolen from scripture the words, Well done, O Good and faithful servant". K.A.F. COOKIE'S STORY HAS HAPPY ENDING (Continued from page 1) Woodstock to claim her dog, she was reluctant to tell her husband, Steve, that the dog would soon have puppies. "But as soon as he saw her, he agreed that we should have her", Mrs. Ponzo said with enthusiasm. That was two weeks ago. Last Thursday night Cookie had her pups. And Friday morning a neighborhood that had impatiently awaited them looked toward the Ponzo home to be greeted by a huge sign in the window reading, "3 Girls and 3 Boys". "They told me at Animal Control that not many people want a pregnant dog", she explained. Mrs. Ponzo, a Special Education teacher, said Cookie had been brought to Animal Control as a stray eight days before she was claimed. Many stories at Animal Control, of necessity, have unhappy endings. This one, because of the kind hearts of a McHenry couple, was one of the pleasant ones. EMERGENCY CALLING PLAN IN DISCUSSION (Continued from page 1) Under the proposed plan, Chief Pasenelli, said the McHenry Police Department would serve as the Public Services Answering (PSAP), and because of the costs in­ volved would not get into a selective routing system. Other possibilities would be call transfer, where the receiving operator would punch the call over to the appropriate agency, or point to point radio com­ munication. which could tie up police radio frequencies. Such decisions, Paserielli said, must be made because of the numerous overlapping police, fire and emergency medical service jurisdictions within the 385,344 calling area. Pasenelli added that it will be up to the Illinois Bell Telephone Co. to decide if the present equipment will handle the proposed service and the costs of alterations and additions. A final plan must be submitted to the state by 1982 and the system must be implemented no later than 1985, he added. Present at the last meeting were representatives from the McHenry County Sheriff s office, Sunnyside Police Department, McHenry Police Department, McHenry Township Fire Department, McCullom Lake Police Department and the Lake- McHenry Law Enforcement Plan Commission. Influenced by the plan and expected to be represented at future meetings are McHenry Shores. Prairie Grove, Pistakee Highlands, the Lake County Sheriff's Department, Lakemoor and Lilymoor. Complicating the picture for the McHenry PSAP is the fact that McHenry telephone ex­ changes extend into Lake County east of U.S. Route 12, Pasenelli said, and it is going to take a lot of planning to work out all of the details of handling calls and responses. Mofave Desert Film Will Be Shown July 3 The Hiawatha Gem and Mineral society will meet Tuesday, July 3, at 7:30 p.m. at the Lake Villa township hall, corner of Fairfield road and Grand avenue. An interesting film provided by the Midwest Federation of Gem and Mineral societies, entitled, "The Great Mojave Desert", will be shown. Anyone interested in rocks, minerals or fossils is invited to the meeting. Refreshments will be served.

ILL . PH 312/587-0218 Robert L. Cristy, Wonder Lake, was listed in satisfactory condition after the car he was driving went off the road and hit a creek embankment. Cristy was unable to give any details about the early Monday morning incident which oc­ curred at about 1:30 a.m. on Route 120. The car was totalled. Fred A. Sunderlage, Wonder Lake, was ticketed twice after he apparently backed into another car on Route 120 last Saturday night. The driver of the other car, Jeff F/'Johnson, Roselle, said he saw ale»r backing up on Route 120 and as he cut into the inner lane, the driver backed into him and then left down E. Wonder Lake road. A description of the car and the license plate numbers were given to the police and Sun- derlage's car was found behind some bushes at his Wonder Lake home. Sunderlage told the police that he and his sons were at a party and one of his sons was supposed to drive him home. According to the police report, Sunderlage said he could not remember how he got home. His son told the police that the car and Sunderlage were both home when he got there. Sunderlage said he must have driven, but could not remember. Sunderlage was ticketed for leaving the scene of an accident and for failing to give aid or information. Harold J. Joza, 418 N. Country Club lane, McHenry, also received two tickets after his car ended up in a field early Saturday morning. Joza said he was cut off by another vehicle. A witness to the incident said that the car went straight through the intersection of Route 14 and N. Ridgefield road and into the field. Joza gave his name as Michael P. Joza, but when the officer checked his wallet he found the name Harold J. Joza. A computer check showed that Joza's license had been suspended, according to the police report. Joza was ticketed for driving while license was suspended or revoked and for disobeying a stop sign. Virginia Mae Haseman, Wonder Lake, was ticketed for improper lane usage and Keith L. Kreuger, 801 W. Oak road, McHenry, was ticketed for driving while license was revoked after the two met in a collision Saturday morning. Ms. Haseman said she was , heading west on Route 120, near Thompson road, when she ran off the road. When the car returned to the road, Ms. Haseman said it crossed into the eastbound lane and hit Kreuger's car. No one was injured, but Mary Lee Thompson, 2808 Bay Cliff, McHenry, was ticketed for improper lane usage following a Friday morning collision at the intersection of Route 120 and Chapel Hill road. Ms. Thompson said she had no idea what happened. The driver of the other car, Dale D Morris, 3612 Buchanan, McHenry, said Ms. Thompson's car veered into his lane but he was unable to avoid the collision. Dorothy A. Heide, 1203 Circle court, McHenry, was ticketed for failure to yield right of way (turning left) after her car collided with another, driven by Steven P. Cochran, Round Lake, early Friday afternoon. Ms. Heide said she checked the traffic and it looked clear, but as she turned she hit Cochran's car. John J. Connell, 2707 S. Oak lane, McHenry, was also ticketed for failure to yield right of way (turning left) after he turned too soon and hit a car driven by Michael K. Schwarz, Wauconda. Connell said he was stopped and was going to turn left onto Route 176 from River road when the collision occurred. Judy E. Skala, 4706 Pyndale, McHenry, said she was un­ familiar with the road, Route 14 near Route 31, when the car she was driving strayed from the westbound lane and drove up a guardrail on Route 14. Steven D. Flick, 1308 S. Lily Lake road, McHenry, did more than $250 damage to his car when he lost control of it on McCullom Lake road and went into a ditch and hit a fence. Diane Olson, Wonder Lake, said she could not stop in time after a car in front of her stopped at the intersection of Greenwood road and Route 120, then pulled out and stopped again. The driver of the other car, Christopher P. McCall, Arlington Heights, said he stopped the second time to check for traffic. 'There Will Be Adequate"... Satisfy Gas Needs Through June It appears that there will be adequate supplies of gasoline to satisfy Illinois motorist needs through the end of June if motorists continue to act rationally and to conserve, according to Frank Beal, director of the Illinois Institute of Natural Resources. "Based on several indicators, the institute is confident that supplies will be sufficient," Beal said. "Of course, this presumes that there will not be widespread instances of panic- buying or tank-topping on the part of motorists." The institute announced it will release all gasoline not needed for hardship cases back to the marketplace beginning Monday. A reserve will be maintained to assist in the event that further hardships develop for particular retail gasoline dealers, communities or other applicants to the state's Emergency Fuel Set- Aside program. At the beginning of June, 19.9 million gallons of gasoline had been placed in set-aside for distribution at the direction of the institute. However, it had been necessary as of June 22 to distribute only about 27 percent of that quantity, leaving the bulk of the set-aside available for mass-release. An estimated 8 million gallons of gasoline will be distributed to retail gasoline stations before the end of the month, Beal said. "This is a substantial quantity of gasoline, and certainly will help ensure that motorists will suffer no unnecessary inconvenience in buying fuel. But Beal warned that the current situation quickly could be changed by the development of panic-buying or tank- topping. "To illustrate the potentially harmful effects of panic-buying and tank-topping, let us assume that motorists normally carry an average of 5 gallons of gasoline in their tanks at any one time, and then assume that half of the state's seven million drivers suddenly fill up their tanks because of needless concern over the availability of gasoline," Beal said. "About seven more gallons of gasoline would be pumped into three and one-half million automobile tanks, suddenly withdrawing 24.5 million gallons from the state's gasoline service stations. "We began the mon\h with about a 12 percent shortage compared to June 1978-\jbout 50 million gallons," said B^eal. "Tank-topping could add another 25 million gallons, thereby creating a shortage of 75 million gallons. "There is no need for this to happen; Illinois motorists have been driving less and have been conserving, and tank-topping could nullify all the progress Illinois citizens have made." In addition, motorists who until now have had to bear up under only minor inconveniences-such as shorter hours at the service stations and Sunday closing- suddenly would be faced with massive inconvenience if long lines developed at the service stations because of panic- buying. And the shortage would worsen even further, as cars waiting in line would burn about one-third of a gallon per hour of waiting. Fuel burned in this wasteful manner would not be available for more useful purposes like commuting and pleasure trips. "I urge all Illinois motorists to continue conserving fuel and to exercise the restraint that has been shown so far," Beal said. "There is no cause for alarm, and falling prey to the 'California Syndrome' will only cause us great harm and undo the admirable work all of us have done so far." Route A 20 Under Scrutiny Route 120 from Greenwood road through the City of McHenry and to the Lake county line has been, and will continue to be at least through the month of June, the object of particular scrutiny by mem­ bers of the Illinois state police. This • stretch of highway is listed as one of the seven Concentrated Traffic En­ forcement Program (CTEP) patrol locations in McHenry county. Captain James Murphy, district commander for the Illinois State police, district two, Elgin, has released the (CTEP) figures for the month of May. The program utilized 614 patrol hours with 954 en­ forcement contract being recorded. Most common violations cited were speeding, 304; other moving violations, 164; and equipment and other miscellaneous violations, 472. Additionally, there were 9 motorists assisted, and 3 ac­ cidents investigated, and 5 criminal arrests. The 954 en­ forcement contacts in 614 manhours provided 1 en­ forcement contact every 38.6 minutes of patrol. CTEP was made possible through a grant obtained from federal authorities and the Department of Transportation. State Police officers are asked to participate in this program on their off-duty time and are compensated with the grant funds. CTEP's goal is to reduce the number and severity of traffic accidents at specific locations and times where the Department of Transportation has indicated from past ex­ perience that accidents are most likely to occur. The CTEP patrol locations in district two were selected using Department of Transportation accident statistics in addition to the District Commander and staff recommendations. During May, CTEP patrols in district two encompassed specific probleki areas in Lake, McHenry, DeKalb, Kane and DuPage counties. As the months go by, the State police will provide in­ formation as to the progress of the CTEP program. Hearing On Small Lots A petition has been filed by the McHenry State bank (a trust) and Ronald Bykowski for an amendment to the McHenry county zoning ordinance from "R 1" Residential district to "B-l" Business district. The property is located on the corner of Charles street and Lincoln road. It consists of two small lots, with about 9,000 total square feet, which Bykowski wishes to use for parking and possible expansion of existing building. The hearing is scheduled June 28 at 2p.m. in Room 112 of the McHenry county cour­ thouse, Woodstock.
