PAGE 18 - PLAinUbALtK - WfcUIMaaUAl, 17, 1MW "HOTLINE" FOR answering t e l ephone ca l l s and dispatching McCullom POISON CONTROL Lake police, a service which is provided by the McHenry (Continued from page 1) registered nurse and is adjacent to a Poisindex audio-visual screen on which any one of 124,000 substances can be projected, according to Grace Bentz, R.N., emergency room manager. "We have had the Poisindex system since the Spring of 1975," Ms. Bentz explains. "Now, thanks to having a separate phone line just for the Poison Control center, we can give im­ mediate answers to any questions about whether an ingested substance is poisonous and what treat­ ment should be instituted." The Poisindex lists sub­ stances according to trade name, slang terms, and even common misspellings. In­ formation is stored on microfilm cards, and the cards are updated every three months. About 9,500 new items are added to the system each quarter. "We ask the public to keep this hotline number con­ veniently near the phone," says Bentz. "If someone in your family or in your care ingests a possibly harmful substance, call 385-0200, and we will answer your questions immediately." ARREST AAAN IN SHOTGUN INCIDENT (Continued from page 1) Dopke knocked on the door and when he saw a light in the bedroom, looked in. Plucinski reportedly tried to pull Dopke through the window, which broke. Plucinski 'was cut on the abdomen by some of the glass fragments, the report said. Plucinski then obtained a shotgun and fired several shots at Dopke, one of which struck him in the hand. Dopke was taken to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad. Plucinski was disarmed and taken into custody after being treated at the hospital for his cuts. REDEFINE JOBS IN PUBLIC WORKS (Continued from page 1) has decided to set aside 35 parking spaces in the Green street parking lot for all-day permit parking. The permits will cost $10 per month. A plea from the Village of McCullom Lake concerning a reduction in the rate for police department was heard by the Finance committee. McCullom Lake had been piaying 1600 per month, based on a per call rate, but on the recommendation of the committee, chaired by Alderman Jack Pepping, the monthly charge was dropped to $300. Alderman George Harker said a mandatory requirement for pre- treatment of "heavy metals" in the effluent of the sewer plant had recently been instituted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Harker asked for a resolution that said the City would comply with the requirement. Mayor Stanek suggested that the City hold off sending the resolution until it is determined why the Facilities Planning Area (FPA) of the City had been redrawn to include areas north of Johnsburg and Ringwood. Those areas include substantial in­ dustrial plants which were not previously included in the McHenry FPA. Alderman Michael Wieser, chairman of the License committee, recommended a $.50 per month increase in the garbage collection rates charged by the McHenry- Woodstock Disposal com­ pany. Wieser said the in­ crease was a compromise from the $.75 a month in­ crease requested by the company. Wieser also proposed six amendments to the McHenry fence ordinance, which were unanimously approved by the Council. After some debate, a variation was allowed to permit Daniel Kennedy, of 5521 Shore drive, McHenry, to construct a fence that would be even with his neighbors'. The Council also voted to pass a 50-50 cost sharing ordinance regarding the c o n s t r u c t i o n a n d replacement of bad sidewalks. It was noted in the meeting that the cost sharing would not pay for the construction of sidewalks on an unim­ proved lot and would not apply to subdivisions where sidewalks were required by the subdivision control or­ dinance. By an unanimous vote, two loading zones were established, one on Pearl street and one on the west side of Riverside drive. Regional Transportation Authority chairman Lewis Hill and board member Gerald Boose appeared to present a commemorative plaque to Mayor Stanek and the City of McHenry for assistance in implementing public transportation in McHenry county. The plaque bore a miniature replica of a new RTA locomotive which was christened "The City of McHenry." The Council also approved the payment of $47,438.10 to Keno and Sons construction for continued work on the sewer plant expansion. ZONING BOARD HEARS CONCEPT (Continued from page 1) have to be five or six associations. ZBA chairman James Fouse pointed out that the c o n d o m i n i u m s i n Whispering Oaks and Waters Edge were surrounded by public roads and still under a s i n g l e h o m e o w n e r s ' association. City Attorney Narusis told the ZBA he had no problems legally With either developing the parcel as condominiums or as townhouses as outlined by Curran. In the matter of the recreation area, which is slated to include a swim­ ming pool and a clubhouse, Curran said he had been directed to tell the ZBA that the recreation area would be built when 75 percent of the units had been built and sold. At the Sept. 5 meeting, Milfred Towne had assured the ZBA that the area would be built, but he had not set any kind of a timetable. Board member Kay Halverson asked what would happen if 72 percent of the development is built and the economy is such that you (the developer) holds up and stops building? "What about the people who bought the units with the pool and the clubhouse in mind?" she asked. Curran said that some recourse would have.to be built into the covenents of the contract. Chairman Fouse had a question concerning the proposed storm water detention area and whether the pond would be fenced. "We weren't going to fence in pond," Holtzman said. "There is a potential hazard but there are many lakes in Lake county, McHenry county and A Wisconsin. Surely, parents have the educational methods to discourage kids from drowning." ZBA member Robert Jessup moved to recess the hearing to 3 p.m. Oct. 10. Rescue Squad Rededication-Tribute J O H N S B U R G R E S C U E SOUAD ' •• • ' . • m MM Although weather conditions were not the best, a huge crowd - many of whom would later attend John- sburg's Saufen Und Spiel - are shown at ' the rededication of the John­ sburg Rescue squad building last Sunday. The original building was dedicated Aug. 28,1960. Due to expansion of equipment requirements, the facility was outgrown. To meet current needs, the addition of two truck bays and a complete moder­ nization of the facility was recently completed. During the ceremony, tribute was paid to two persons who were active for many years as the "Voice of the Squad*'. In top photo, Mary Debrecht receives award for an­ swering the squad telephone for 28 years.
