PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 29.1980 Village of McHenry Shores Inge Aide 344-1984 Rose Lillegard 385-4517 Board Action In an effort to keep everyone informed, I have taken excerpts from the approved minutes of the Village Board meetings and committee meetings, that would be of interest to our residents. ? Remedial street and ditch work at South Hilltop was approved not to exceed $1,000; a snow removal resolution was passed to provide removal of snow for the elderly and some 15 citizens have signed up for this service. The Finance committee recommended, and the Board approved, $4,664.65 be spent on equipment for the new emergency vehicle. The firm of Warren and Van Pragg were hired to do a study on the water problems of the village which will eventually lead to the drafting of an enforceable, water ordinance. The name of the village annex was changed to be henceforth known as "McHenry Shores Civic Center". Chief Bankson stepped down to the rank of Lieutenant in order for the very able services of John F. Albrecht to be instituted as Chief of Police. Police Lt. Bankson will retain his present rate of com­ pensation, being $200 per month. Resignations were received and accepted from officers Janicki, Pulk and Lien. Installed as new police officers were E. Fair, C. Fair and T. McCarthy. A thousand parking tickets were purchased at the ex­ pense of $325 and they will be issued beginning March 1. A spare pump and parts for the snow, plow was authorized, not to exeed $500. Other action taken by the Board included the non- acceptance of a boundary agreement with the Village of Prairie Grove until fur­ ther study; purchase of a grants manuals on sewage (with the understanding that it will be returned within 45 days if not satisfactory) for the sum of $175; attorney fees, $842.75; engineers' fees, $782.35; additional insurance to cover the new tractor, $127; Clark Outdoor Spraying, $650; purchase of two used emergency radios and-or a generator for emergency backup, to be paid out of the ESDA fund, in the amount of $1,180. Ordinance 84.1 was read and passed, after the three readings were waived. This ordinance authorizes the village president and pro­ tein to finalize the purchase • / • of 1980 Chevy surburban vehicle. Also approved, was $300 for outside lighting at the village hall and civic center and monthly lighting bills to be paid from the General fund. ANNUAL RETREAT The home of Marilyn Albanese was recently the site of mhe annual retreat of the ^McHenry Evangelical Free church. Some twenty women were in attendance for the weekend. The theme was "Harvesting the Fruit of the Spirit" and Gladys Dickelman, of the Barrington chapter, was the featured speaker. FAMILIAR SITE RETIRED For the past eight years, a very familiar site was known to all who lived in McHenry Shores. It was called "Rose's fiercy red car". It was retired in lieu of a new green hornet. In good times and bad, happy and sorrowful, "fiercy red" was always there. Although "fiercy red" is retired, the familiar wave and smile that came from its driver will remain and be passed on to the new green hornet. POLICE SEMINAR We are proud of our of­ ficers, always- taking the time and effort to keep themselves informed of new laws and techniques. Chief Albrecht and Lt. Bankson recently returned from a seminar on Illinois Crime Reporting. 1980 CENSUS Apirl is the month for income tax returns, but this April is very special. Once every ten years the Federal Census takes place throughout the United States. Forms will be mailed to all households and everyone is asked to fill in the blanks. Monies received by the village, Motor Fuel tax, Revenue Sharing, §tate Income tax and occasional special disbursements are all based on population and, in some case, incomes. Every head count, amounts to slightly over $50 per year in rebate taxes that you and I pay into the Federal and State Treasury. MARCH PRIMARY Tuesday, March 18 is the p r i m a r y e l e c t i o n ; presidential candidates, as well as state and federal races, will be decided. There are eleven candidates for the 33rd District House of Representatives, of which, two will be selected for the general elections. I have, on several oc­ casions, heard all eleven candidates speak and, believe me, it is a race that deserves your attention. Do your part, be patriotric, read your literature, study the issues and candidates and then vote! * * * * No business ever be­ came great without a pro­ gram of progressive ex­ pansion. JOHN F.

Find Drug On Jail Inmate An 18-year-old McHenry man has been charged with possession of a controlled substance following a routine search at the McHenry county jail. Daren Thomas, 18, of 2019 W. Route 120, McHenry, was originally taken into custody by Sheriff's police at the request of the Lake County Sheriff's department. He was wanted for violation of probation. During a routine search, a quantity of PCP (angel dust) was found in a cigarette case. Bond was set at $4,000. When he heard breaking glass and saw two men standing near a neighbor's home, Patrick Drohan called the police.

Bond was set at $1,000 each. An auto weaving from side to side on Route 120 and running without lights at 1:20a.m. prompted Sheriff's police to look into the matter.
