Luerssen said the board and its manager, Larry Harris, spent many hours on the proposed zoning ordinance, attending county informational meetings and township hearings.

The relocation is asked because the present location presents a traffic hazard. Approval also was given to a plat for Chapel Hill Oaks, Unit I, in McHenry township. Four requests which failed to carry the recommendation of the Finance and Salaries committee included separate amounts of $12,000 and $10,000, both for senior citizens; $10,000 for the McHenry County Historical society and $4,000 for the Easter Seal society. All were for Revenue Sharing. The ^fcHenfy County CETA program listed, numerous programs receiving assistance in the form of County contracts. They include $27,000 for the Alternative Education high school in McHenry. This contract calls for a program for 18 to 20 McHenry county youths who- are placed in a 24-hour care facility for problems with drugs and alcohol. The Finance committee recommendation to reestablish the salary of James Rakow, superintendent of highways at $32,400 from the present $30,000 was approved by board action.

DISPOSAL RATES GO UP (Continued from page 1) calls by the McHenry police department for surrounding communities of Sunrise, Ridge, McCullom Lake, Sunnyside and the fire department. Figures provided, by Police Chief George Pasenelli show that it costs about $8.20 to dispatch a car or relay the message to the proper authority. Alderman Pepping refused to give any specifics about the possible increases in costs to other communities because he "did not want them to read about it in the paper before we have a chance to talk with them." The compensation ordinance which would pay members of the Zoning Board of Appeals and the Plan commission $10 per meeting was passed unanimously. Hie ordinance also includes increases in the filing fees for both the commissions. Filing a petition with the Zoning board will now cost a flat fee of $300 for any non-PUD (planned unit development) petitions and $750 for PUDs. To appear before the Plan commission concerning land: five acres or less will cost $100; between five and 20 acres, $200; between 20 and 50 acres, $300; and over 50 acres in size, $400. The money was authorized and the contract awarded to the Curran Construction company for the paving of the parking lot at Petersen psrk. There was considerable debate over whether a portion of the lot could be used for basketball-either full or half court. Both of the Lakeland Park aldermen, Schooley and Meurer, adamantly opposed this proposal. Alderman Schooley said that "this was the only parking lot from the southwest and it should not be tied up with a' basketball court." - "There is a residential area behind the lot-a very crabby residential area," Schooley, said. "Ill have to vote no on this." Alderman Wieser opposed the paving of this lot, saying that the municipal lot on the west 'side of Green street had the priority. „ Alderman Harker Said he did not want to delay the paving of the Petersen park lot, in view of the amount of preliminary work needed on Green street. The first thing needed, Harker said, was a topographical map. Then the Council would have to decide whether to have a free lot, parking meters or gates at the entrance. "A lot has been discussed, but nothing has been decided," Harker said. Mayor Stanek said the determination of the entrances and exits to the lot, which are still privately owned, is holding up serious development planning. In the end, the Council moved to pave the lot at Petersen park and left the questions of the basketball, courts and the Green street lot until a later date. JOHN SHAY ; NAMED TO HEAD DEFENSE COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) Richard O. Klemm, chairman of the McHenry County board, who said that he and the board were honored that the membership had chosen Shay as its president Donald P. Doherty of McHenry, who currently serves as the vice-chairman of the Public Safety committee of the McHenry County board, presented a resolution from the City of McHenry, citing Shay for his 18 years of volunteer service to the city as its CD director, and later as its ESDA coordinator. Pohefly notedl that he had appointed Jonn Shay as the City of McHenry CD director in 1961, when he was the mayor df McHenry. The featured speaker at the banquet was Patrick McCollough, director of Plans and Preparedness for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Region 5. He told the assembled guests that President Carter was very concerned about disaster preparedness and had urged the organizing of all federal agencies that have a disaster responsibility be placed in one agency. This has now taken . place with the creation of FEMA. YOGA CLASSES Beginning and Continuing START: Monday, Sept. 24,1979 9:30 a.m. SHEPHERD OF THE HILLS -j LUTHERAN CHURCfc-GREEN ST.

On Sept. 15, Carmen Garcia called the police from her Wonder Lake home and said that Manuel Brito, Woodstock, would not leave when asked to do so. She said she thought the man had a gun. When the police arrived, Brito was still at the residence and had a loaded automatic pistol with him. Brito was arrested, for unlawful use of weapons and criminal trespassing with bond set at $2,000.

Hold Big Tree Contest The McHenry County Con­ servation district is sponsoring a contest to find the largest representatives of each' tree species in the county. Since big trees are often the oldest living things around, they form a living link with the past. The sense of time, of change and continuity, is part of understanding the mosaic of natural processes and man's activities that have shaped today's environment. The search for big trees is really a way of paying attention to cultural and natural history. Trees need not be native Illinois species to be considered in the contest, but only trees may be entered. The procedure for entering a tree candidate is described on entry forms available from the Con­ servation district. Trunk cir­ cumference, height, and crown spread are all considered in overall size. All entrants will receive certificates of participation, and nominees of winning trees will be able to select from plantings available to the district. The closing date for entries will be Dec. 1, 1979. Requests for entry forms should be addressed to Big Tree Contest, McHenry County Conservation District, 6512 Harts Rd., Ringwood, 111. 60072. MCHS Musicians Take Part In N.U. Band Day The McHenry Community high school band, under the direction of W.N. Toalson and John Leighty has accepted an invitation from Northwestern university to appear at its twenty-third annual high school Band day on the Evanston, 111., campus Saturday, Sept. 22. The Band will join 3,000 teenage musicians who will travel from 33 different Illinois high schools to present a spectacular and colorful halftime pageant at the N.U. vs Syracuse university football game at Dyche stadium before an anticipated crowd of 40,000 fans. After two weeks o/ local preparation and rehearsal, the band will travel by bus on the morning of the game. Band members and chaperones will be the guests of the university for the day. A morning session will be devoted to an intensive 2^-hour massed band rehearsal of music and marching, and there will be a special show for the high school toands put on by the nationally famous 200-piece Northwestern university "Wildcat" Marching Band. High School band day was originated at Northwestern University by John P. Paynter, director of bands and professor of conducting in the School of Music. Paynter, and his newly appointed assistant directors, Donald Casey and Don Owens, will share the conducting of the massed bands at halftime. The program will include The Crosley March by Henry Fillmore, Paul Anka's My Way, and a special antiphonal arrangement of Handel's Royal Fireworks Music. The halftime display and concert will con* elude with the Northwestern university Alma Mater played and sung by the performers on the field and the spectators in the stands. Grant City Easement In New Subdivision Attorney Jim Green, representing the McHenry Lakes Estates subdivision, appeared Monday night before the City Council with a revised plat that would grant the City an easement for sewer and utility repair along the proposed Prestwick street. The original plat had shown the sewer and utility lines to be running along Prestwick street (yet to be developed) and connecting into the rest of the development. The problem occurred when the developers could not get enough money to develop the ^thole subdivision at once, as was originally planned. With the development split into two units, the sewer lines were located in the second unit and no easement had been dedicated to the City for maintenance and repair. Very simply, the revision allows the City to maintain and repair the sewer and utility lines regardless of whether or not the second unit of' the development is ever built. . _ _ Home Damaged By Fire Three fires have caused an undetermined amount of damage in the McHenry area in the past week.
