• PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 13. H6I PAGE 20 MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) as he has done so many times on the field. Then back to reality, for the lady of the moment is arriving. Down the aisle the petite Theresa walks in beauty and grace. The newspaper instincts that run deep in­ side made us question whether he was measuring her waistline in agates nf picas. We wondered if the sportsman in him was saying, "And here, in this corner, in the 100-lb. class....". But we looked again and knew for sure none of these were his thoughts. With the arrival of the lovely bride we knew that he was thinking what aTl bridegrooms do - "This treasure of a young lady is mine". But there were other moments to follow when a calm exterior hid only those thoughts a sports editor could conjure up at the most unusual times. When it was time to say, "I do", could he have remembered the three-year probationary period for the Illini? Was he, in fact, pursuing defensive thoughts such as, "I have never lied to her, nor have I cheated. There can be no sanc­ tion imposed on me". Then there was a quiet period for reflection as the service progressed, and almost too soon the organ sounded its impressive march which meant the recessional was at hand. His thoughts returned to that "starting gate" as he suddenly realized 'he time clock was ticking to the last seconds. His steps quickened because what follows the starting gate is finishing-in-the-money. But the thought was short lived for this young man knew well enough that sports protocol must prevail. His fi»otsteps became slower as he took the recessional walk with his bride. What followed was the familiar post- scrimmage involving more than 300 friends and relatives making their way around a bounteous table and extending their individual best wishes to the couple. If ever he had the pre-game jitters -- if ever he had wondered in the words of William Wrigley for his Chicago Cubs, Will I win, place or show, or must we wait for next year?", all doubts were suddenly dispelled. As Jeff Stern looked at his Theresa, he realized the most important fact of life He was in the winner's circle. KAF SUBDIVISION CONTROL TALK DOMINATES COUNCIL MEETING (Continued from page 1) Smith asked, "Does Green street qualify as a major street'*" The designation of a major street is triggered by the right-of-way width and after checking, it was found that Green is not a major street, by that definition. Wieser said the city has to consider how much money is available to un­ dertake the project and noted that it was important to provide access to Knox park. "Ideally, we should do both sides of the street, but we may not have the manpower or the money to do so," Mayor Stanek said. \ Getting away from the sidewalk discussion, the mayor also suggested that the ordinance which prohibits the connection .of sump pumps to the sanitary sewer system be "Mghtened up" He added that city employees would be instructed not to assume any liability for a sewer back-up, as has been occasionally done in the past. "Putting surface water (via sump pumps, downspouts or run-off) into the sanitary sewer system is illegal," Stanek said He commented that numerous people are hooked into the system and said the increased water flow serves to increase the operation cost of the sewer plant and preempts sewer system capacity. According to Eugene Hester, sewer plant manager, a recent infiltration study noted that there was a good in­ dication of infiltration from sources like sump pumps and downspouts. Alderman Harker commented that the effect of the sump pump infiltration was being greatly over-emphasized. "We are going to have to take a hard look at this and be a little hard-nosed about it." Stanek said After a half hour of discussion, some of the council members looked to At­ torney Narusis for direction. "It starts with a policy decision," Narusis said "I was under the im­ pression that you (the council) were beating around the bush, to put it bluntly. I haven't heard anyone say 'I^et's do something,' " Narusis said. Four Injured Saturday Rt. Four people were reported injured in a five-car crash last Saturday af­ ternoon on Route 12 in Burton township. The accident occurred when a vehicle driven east by Robert L. Cortopassi. of Warrenville, veered into the westbound lane and struck another car The driver of the other car was Christine Anderson, of 313 Pleasant View. McHenry, whose auto spun and slid down an embankment. The Cortopassi vehicle then crashed into another westbound auto which was driven by Ewald F. Pratelski, of 1015 Oakleaf. McHenry The Pratelski car spun and was hit by a fourth vehicle, operated0 by Ralph L. Edgar, of Williams Bay William G Noe, of Spring Grove, was driving the fifth auto involved and told police he swerved to avoid the Cor­ topassi vehicle and the two autos collided head-on Cortopassi said he did not know how the accident occurred and was ticketed for improper lane usage. Cortopassi, a passenger in his auto, Susan Graham, of Melrose Park, He commented that the ordinance was fairly explicit regarding ^he matter. The ordinance, which ex­ pressly prohibits surface water in­ filtration into the sanitary sewer system, also has a provision whii allows the Superintendent of Publii Works, or city employee, to enter a properties for purposes of inspection, observation, measurement and testing. The possible penalty for violation of the ordinance could range from $10 to $500. A motion to provide for systematic inspection of the city and then deal with violators was made by Alderman Pepping It passed unanimously. In other action, the council approved a number of amendments to the Sub­ division Control ordinance which affect performance bond and letter of credit procedures, requires deceleration lanes for major and collector streets, removes "square footage" wording from the ordinance and in general "ightens up the ordinance" according to Narusis " The council also approved a resolution endorsing the Boone creek dredging project, which was a requirement of the Illinois Department of Transportation. Division of Water Resources. Mayor Stanek said he had received notice that the old mill on the Crystal Lake blacktop was being considered for designation as an historical site and included <>n the national register. The mayor noted that a letter had been sent stating his preferences that the structure, belonging to Charles nad Jerome Miller, be demolished or renovated Alderman Elizabeth Nolan said she felt the building was "rather rare" and was in favor of preservation. In 5-Car 12 Crash Pratelski. and a passenger in the Noe vehicle. Carol Ann Noe. were tran­ sported to McHenry hospital by Fox Lake and Johnsburg Rescue squads.

Reycllng Slated For ' ' • ; "V Next Saturday Boy Scout Troop 145 will be working along with the McHenry County. Defenders Saturday, May 16, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. in the southeast corner of the McHenry Market Place shopping center. They will be on hand to help unload cars of bundled newspapers, ' corrugated cardboard, flattened steel cans with paper labels removed, clean glass bottles and jars with metal and plastic removed, all-aluminum' products and used motor oil. At present the aluminum pay-back' program is in effect only on the first Saturday of each month from 9 until 1 and is not in effect on the third Satu!*- ' day. Persons involved in the program A are urged to please plan recycling trip* accordingly. 1 There are at least five reasons for recycling, some are environmental and some are financial. 1 - Recycling saves natural resour­ ces. For example, one ton of recycled newspaper saves 17 pulp trees. 2 - Recycling saves energy. For. example, five percent of the energy is used when aluminum products are made from recycled aluminum rather then from the raw material. ' 3 • Recycling saves landfill space. More than 3,500,000 (3Vfe million) pounds of material were recycled through recycling projects in McHenry county last year. This means a saving of over 6,000 cubic yards of landfill space. 4 - In many cases, the recycling family is able to decrease the number of trash pick-ups they require, thereby saving money. 5 - Recycling makes it possible for the non-profit groups working on the drives to earn money for their individual projects. Anyone having questions regarding recycling may call the McHenry County Defenders representative at 385-8512. Present County Planning Grant Allows Plans Report For Commission The second annual dinner of the McHenry County Regional Planning commission will be held May 14, at 6:30 p.m., at the Branded Steak House in Crystal Lake, when Stephen Aradas. director, will be presenting the annual report. The Planning commission recently received a letter from Secretary of Agriculture, John R. Block, expressing his interests in McHenry county's ef­ forts to protect agricultural lands and in the agricultural preservation plan which is being prepared by the Department of Planning. The County commission has received numerous letters from throughout the country requesting copies of the Second District Appellate court decision in the cases Wilson vs. McHenry County, and Voss-Neveu vs. McHenry County. Both cases sought a zoning change from A-l Agricultural to an E-l Estate (one- acre) classification. The Court upheld the county's decision to deny these zoning changes. The decision strengthens both the McHenry County Year 2000 Land Use plan and the zoning ordinance. These documents provide for orderly growth near existing municipalities and for the preservation of larger tracts of prime agricultural soils. The Year 2000 Plan is available from the McHenry County Department of Planning for a fee.
