PAGE • - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, JANUARY », 1*2 u»me. The request came from Youth -n\; Opportunities Ltd., which was 2I \ organized in 1980 to assist county youths who have minor brushes with the law return to the mainstream of society. , A concern for the loss of parking spaces and questions concerning the effect of the proposed reconstruction of the Route 120 bridge across the Fox .river were major issues voiced at an Illinois Department of Transportation public hearing at East campus. There appeared to be little objection to the contention that the 54-year-old span needs work, but homeowners and businessmen were a little apprehensive about the proposed widening of route 120 between Park street, west of the bridge, and Charles street, east of the bridge. or > ns - H e ­ rn vt! ni 1 £ brw JULY After more than two hours of executive session regarding pending litigation, the City Council authorized public notices for the McHenry Lakes Estates and Pheasant Valley sub­ divisions which prevents the con­ struction of any structures until the public improvements are either con­ structed or a performance bond is put up July 1 marks the effective date for the new salary package agreed upon by the board of McHenry County college. MCC President Robert C. Bartlett received a two-year contract at $43,000, an offer described as a vote of confidence in leadership by the board's vice- chairman, David Murphy, Cary. Erin Kathleen Mullen, 21, smiled through happy tears when she claimed the title of Miss McHenry 1981. Just moments before, Erin had been named Miss Congeniality by the rest of the girls in the pageant. First runner-up was Deborah Lynn Poteracki, 18. Second runner-up was Susan Moulis, 18; third runner-up was Jane Sorling, 18 A 7-year-old McHenry girl with an eye to a modeling career is the Kiwanis club's 1981 Little Miss Peanut, Mika : Jones. She topped a field of 25 can­ didates Two young girls died as a result of injuries received when the horse trailer in which they were riding broke loose from the truck that was towing it on Route 120. Five other people were in­ jured in the accident. The victims were Jura L. Baltys, 2, of McHenry and Kara DiMasi. 6, of Country Club Hill, 111. Miss Philanne Scully is the new Miss Wonder Lake. She was selected from a field of seven contestants to receive the title. First runner-up was Britt Slobodzian, 18, and Mary Lou Red­ mond, 18, was second runner-up. By the unanimous committee decision, the McHenry Area Rescue squad has been singled out for recognition as parade marshal for 1981 Fiesta days. The squad will be represented by six charter members and still active volunteers, Carmon Hodges, John Schlofner, Phil Gust, Mark Justen, Ken McKenna and Ron Schaefer. David Cain, president of McHenry Hospitai corporation, expressed great disappointment and a charge of "breach of trust" at the comments of Crystal Lake Mayor Carl Wehde. Weh- de had reportedly told the Crystal Lake City Council that he would lead a delegation to Springfield to convince state officials that any new hospital should be a joint undertaking of Sherman hospital and McHenry hospital and built on the Ambutal site. The opening of a residential educational training facility for court designated boys will take place about Sept. 1. The board of Elementary School District 15 approved the tentative budget for the coming year (1981-82), indicating about a $350,000 operating surplus for the year. This would reduce the "trailing deficit" in the district's education fund to $300,000 and eliminate it in the operations, building and maintenance fund by June, 1982. Impressed by the progress of the Boone creek dredging project, Senator Jack Schaffer has promised Mayor Joe Stanek whatever possible assistance the state can offer from unused available Division of Waterways funds. The current project, financed by $50,000 from revenue sharing money, will restore the creek channel from the Green street bridge to the confluence of the two tributaries near Maple street. Completion of the channel clearing is estimated to cost another $140,000. The Project Review board of the Health Systems Agency for Kane, Lake and McHenry counties voted to recommend approval of the revised McHenry hospital relocation plan to a 100-acre site at Bull Valley road and Route 31. The revised plan for the $29 million dollar, 180-bed facility suc­ cessfully passed its first test-with a vote of 5 to 0 with one abstention-since an "intent to deny" decision was handed down last January. Nineteenth Judicial Circuit Judge William J. Gleason died July 17 in Memorial hospital, Woodstock, after a car accident. He was 75 years old. A 14-year-old Ingleside youth was pronounced dead at McHenry hospital, where he was taken after an apparent drowning at the Possum Run gravel pit on Illinois 120. The McHenry County board approved plans to move the traffic division of the Circuit Clerk's office into the county superintendent of education office in order to relieve cramped working conditions. With every part of McHenry crowded through much of last weekend, the 10 successful Fiesta days ended with an estimated 12,000 to 15,000 people wat­ ching the Sunday parade. Ap­ proximately 2,500 thrilled to Drum Corps Magic on McCracken field that evening to conclude the festivities. The McHenry City Council has acted to take the freeze off escrow money deposited by the Wexford Group to pay off a water and sewer contractor so that stalled work on the system in the McHenry Lakes development could be completed. AUGUST The McHenry hospital board of directors voted at a regular meeting to stop negotiations with Sherman hospital relative to a recent proposal for a joint effort in building a replacement hospital.

RTE. 120 WOODSTOCK (815)338-9393 LAKE COUNTY (312)546-0011 Little progress was reported by either side as talks were resumed in the dispute between Sun Electric Corp. and the United Auto Workers. The City Council approved two requests regarding the Woodcreek subdivision. The First granted a one- year extension for the required final overlayment on the roads in the sub­ division. The second approved a payment plan of 10 percent quarterly of the $32,400 due as a part of the developer donations, as set out in the annexation agreement. February of 1982 is the target date for the opening of the new ilewel-Osco store at its location on Rt. 120 at the in­ tersection with Industrial drive. Proposals resulting from the Fox River Basin study, which is nearing completion, may result in modifications and improvements in the McHenry dam and others on the Fox river. A unanimous vote of approval by the state board in Chicago culminated a little more than a year of struggle since the board of directors of McHenry hospital approved the Certificate of Need aDolication in earlv August of 1980. The Illinois Health Facilities Planning board met in Chicago to make a final decision concerning the relocation and expansion of McHenry hospital to a 105-acre site at Bull Valley road and Route 31, McHenry. David Grimes, president of the village of McHenry Shores, submitted his resignation to the board of trustees, citing a number of unresolved problems that he couldn't foresee being worked out at the present time. The stringent hiring and capital expenditure freeze adopted by the McHenry County board earlier this year will remain in effect because of a drop in revenues. One of several alternatives, a dam sluice gate repair plan and maximum flood engineering study estimated to cost $150,000 was chosen by the Wonder Lake Master Property Owners association. The association agreed to a plan for the replacement of Wonder Lake's two dam sluice gates at a total cost of $102,00 plus a $40,000 engineering analysis of the Nippersink creek watershed. The board of Elementary School District 15 reversed its stand on Illinois Association of School Board mem­ bership and voted to pay the full fee in spite of their continued feeling that IASB was not equitably representing elementary districts. A fiery balloon crash near Barrington claimed the lives of Brian Baker, present governor of McHenry Moose Lodge 691, and four other men. The City of McHenry may become involved in a preliminary sewer and water study which concerns the southeastern part of McHenry and the Village of McHenry Shores. The City of McHenry Plan com­ mission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the preliminary plat of Unit III of the Winding Creek subdivision. The 1980 tax charged was the largest in history, $68,507,051, according to County Treasurer -.Audrey R. Walgenbach. This compares with $60,009,027 for 1979. A growth characterized as "modest but steady" by Dr. Richard Farmer, superintendent of Elementary School District 15, could result in a subtle shifting of classrooms in the next couple of years. The McHenry Shores village board of trustees unanimously elected Richard Panerali as president. SEPTEMBER At the regular meeting of the John- sburg school board, teachers of the school system were granted a 9.9 percent increase in salary. Topping a field of candidates representing 143 Chicagoland Kiwanis clubs, 7-ycar-old Mika Jones of McHenry was named Little Miss Peanut of the Illinois and Eastern Iowa district. City of McHenry residents will be faced with a $20 to $30 per household tax increase following a vote taken at the regular council meeting. With sales tax receipts up only slightly in 1982 and the economy not improving to any great degree, the city must look to a levy increase to meet the operational costs of the city. Current projections indicate that the city could face a deficit of $120,000.
