MACiK 12 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBERS. 1980 FOUR INJURED IN CAR, TRUCK CRASH FRIDAY (Continued from page 1) and down the street and he had gone outside to get a description of the vehicle. Duke went on to say that he was standing near the road when the car lost control on the gravel shoulder, hit him and left without stopping. The driver of the car, Tucker, told police he did not know he had hit anyone. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) that an open house can be held next month, when the public will be invited to tour the building and see for themselves the creative improvements that have brought the old building up to modem standards. Was it expensive? Of course it was, but ac­ cording to today's economy the $2 million-plus put into the school can't compare with what would be required for a new structure. The students we saw were friendly and polite and from what we witnessed in the cafeteria, seemed to exhibit either a new pride, or con­ siderably more restraint than was evident at the height of the youthful "do your own thing"era. Maybe we're prejudiced - we were among those who were reluctant to see the old building torn down. But even prejudice couldn't convince us if what we saw that day had not seemed a good example of practical restoration. We hope others feel the same. Just seeing our alma mater looking so fine gave us a good feeling. KAF ORGANIST 50 YEARS (Continued from page 1) service, utilizing a talent that has impressed generations of parishioners since the 1920's, unfolded at the program which followed in the church hall. It was beautifully decorated for the brunch served to just under 200 members of her family and friends who came to honor the gracious guest of honor. As the family stepped into the hall, they were greeted by walls containing artistic posters that told the story of Dorothy Weber. With pic­ tures and sheet music to emphasize that story, each carried a message of a different way in which her talents have served mem­ bers of the congregation for a half century. It was in 1932 that she played the new pipe organ for the first time. Items from her daily diary, obtained from a family member, listed numerous wedd'ngs of well known McHenry couples for whom she played. One of the highlights in her long career was her role as organist in 1940 for the centennial program of the church. One speaker placed em­ phasis on music as the focus for the entire Weber family. She met her husband, Carl, while both were playing in a musical group. Their three children, twins, Jean and Joan, and son, Bill, have exhibited unusual talents of their own and continue to be involved in music. During the program, letters were read from former pastors and others who were unable to attend the day of tribute. While it was the entire church that sponsored the testimonial, the Ladies guild was responsible for arrangements in the hall and for serving brunch. Mrs. James (Mary Ann) Wegener, guild officer who was in charge of the highly successful program, acted as M.C. Following Irish selections by Earl "Marty" Conway, a brother-in-law of the guest of honor, whom she ac­ companied, brief talks were given. They included messages of tribute by Mrs. M a r g a r e t C o u g h l i n , president of the parish council; Mrs. Mary Jean Lahs, president of the Ladies guild; and Bill Neumann, a son in-law of the celebrant, who read a letter of congratulations from Bishop O'Neill. To the strains of "Memories", played by Marjj Ann Sharp, ' Tom Birmingham recalled some of Jhe highlights of Mrs. Weber's musical career as it affected the people of St. Patrick's church. After Mary Kantorski and her committee were recognized for preparing the meal, Mrs. Weber cut a huge cake made by Marilyn Miller and decorated with musical notes. A highlight of the musical selections which closed the program was the singing of Rosewig's "Ave Maria" by Clara Miller. Miss Miller had sung the same selection, with accompaniment by Mrs. Weber, more than 50 years ago. Father Petit entertained with Irish selections. ' The entire choir brought the heartwarming program to a close with "Wunderbar" and "Vienna, My City Of Dreams".

The 5,000-square foot building is designed for a maximum of 11 people. It will include 11 bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and dining area, and separate facilities for staff members. The residents will have 24- hours-a-day staff super­ vision to assure care and the well-being of those living in the home. The facility will be licensed by the State of Illinois to assure adequate and appropriate care. Financing has been arranged through a loan from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD). R o b e r t L a m b o u r n , executive director, said the smaller residential unit is considered a better residential alternative than the larger ones because its services and staff help can be more individualized. Lambourn said other alternative units under Pioneer center program­ ming include a Community Living facility at Woodstock. Lambourn explained the new Group home became possible when the McHenry County board included residential alternatives for t h e d e v e l o p m e n t a l l y disabled in its 2000 year Land U£e plan. " M c H e n r y c o u n t y ' s leadership in aiding the developmentally disabled is unequalled in Illinois, and the farsightedness displayed by this County board decision exemplifies the cooperation we've come to expect to aid them," said Lambourn.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UNDER FIRE (Continued from page 1) side of S. Route 31. One of their arguments was that the Comprehensive plan, at that time, showed the area to be residential. Grossman also contended that the light commercial designation on the Com­ prehensive plan might also serve as an indication to a prospective developer that the area shown as light commercial is sensitive and might change in character and therefore might have an effect on property values. "Mr. Grossman, I don't think you know diddly-do about resale," Wieser said. "At this moment there is a house being constructed behind the muffler shop and I've seen countless homes (abutting business zones) resold at a gain." "I contend that as long as you do not have the classification in the or­ dinance, you camyri put out the warning ndt to buy," Wieser added. Further discussion of the Comprehensive plan update was deferred to another meeting. In other business, the Council voted to approve payment of $133,933.47 for the summer road program, which came in nearly $12,000 under the bid. Payment was also authorized for the Main s t r e e t w i d e n i n g a n d resurfacing. A roller and Layton box to be used in further paving projects by the City were bought for $7,500. The Council also voted to authorize a $13,646 ex­ penditure for additional equipment to increase the storage capacity of the computer in the City Clerk's office. Mayor Stanek noted that a public hearing would be held Thursday regarding the proposed relocation of McHenry hospital to a 100- acre site south of the City. Stanek said he hoped the people of the community would actively support the project. He commented that there were some parochial in­ terests, namely Crystal Lake, seeking to quash the relocation effort. Alderman Harker said, "It would, be a mistake to assume that the Health Systems Agency (for Kane, Lake and McHenry coun­ ties) is sympathetic. They are a very proficient outfit at foot-dragging and the hospital will need every ounce of support. The councilmen and residents were urged to write or appear at the meeting scheduled for 2 p.m. Thursday at city hall. The Council voted to ac­ cept a gift of shrubs and plantings from the Rotary to be used in the small park at the intersection of Third street and Waukegan. The park will be named "Rotary park." _________ HOLD SEMINAR There will be a seminar on personal and family pre­ paredness, entitled, "Your Family's Future", Nov. 8 from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Methodist church, 22 South Maple street, Ingleside. This is feeing presented by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. « I
