The candidates will then personally visit with the audience at individual table groupings. A lively and informal exchange is expected. The sponsoring groups will also hold a "Candidates Fair" Sunday, March 7, from 2 to 4 p.m. at McHenry County college for candidates seeking McHenry County board seats and other county offices. Additional information on this event will be forthcoming. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) and vandalism remains at a level that is frightening to many. As success marks these citizen ef­ forts, more and more communities are expected to join together to protect their property. In fact, just being a part of such an effort puts the belonger on guard in areas he would probably never considered otherwise. But like all good endeavors, Neigh­ borhood Watches can get out of hand without a knowledge by the par­ ticipants of their limitations, without their good judgment, and without a respect for law enforcement agencies as authority for their action. Last week's incident seemed to have all these ingredients and offered proof of what can be done to reduce vandalism and thefts in any area. KAF COUNCIL OKAYS SCHLACK IDRB REQUEST (Continued from page 1) matters inside the corporate limits of the city. Aldermen Pepping and Edward Datz (2nd ward) both said they had agreed "I think with regard to attracting and expanding industry, we can't limit our view to just the city," Pepping said. "There are benefits to the city. The financing is with a local institution, the construction will be done by a local contractor." Wieser said, "I don't believe the city should be in the banking business." When the vote for "informal approval of the request" was called, Aldermen Pepping, Nolan, Harker, Datz, Serritella, Meurer and Mayor Stanek voted in favor. Aldermen Wieser and Smith opposed the measure. DEBATE STATION AGENT FUTURE (Continued from page 1) probably take under advisement county suggestions concerning transit service in the county, but added that money is a consideration. He admitted the city would probably be hurt by the loss of the station and said this would probably be the result of the loss of the agent. Claypool suggested that the city might work with the CNW-RTA (with revenue sharing money) to build a station at Bull Valley road. He said this might attract riders from McHenry Shores and Bull Valley who presently go to Crystal Lake. He feels that with improved ridership, the CNW might add another train. Buss said Macdonald could name only one freight customer north of the McHenry station - Morton Chemical, in Ringwood. At Morton, Dan Schmitt said he had been assured by the CNW that the rail company would continue running freight to Ringwood and would never abandon this section of line. "Freight is their bread and butter," Schmitt said. "To be honest, if the station agent were removed, there would be no im­ pact on Morton Chemical," Schmitt said. He pointed out that the McHenry ticket agent reports to the agent in Crystal Lake. "When we have a problem, we go directly to the agent in Crystal Lake," Schmitt explained. "If we're still not satisfied we go to the agent in Chicago." MCHS HONORS GRADUATES (Continued from page 1) Dr. Nye, who died at his office desk in December of 1978, entered medical practice with his father and served the community for many years. He was a lieutenant-commander in the Navy in World War 11. The physician was chief of staff at Memorial hospital, Woodstock, for many years, and served on the board, and as its chairman, of the McHenry State bank. He founded a chapter of Rotary International and was its first president. The late Thomas A. Bolger was born and raised on a farm on Irish Prairie and was a farmer from childhood until his death th 1953. He was elected to the Illinois Legislature in 1932 and served with distinction until 1952, when poor health ended his career. Mr. Bolger was considered an expert on taxation and financing.

Kelly To Represent Albanese Charles M. Albanese, who is awaiting trial on charges of murder in con­ nection with the arsenic poisoning of three family members, will have Richard Kelly of Crystal Lake as his attorney. Kelly announced in mid-week that he would represent the McHenry business man because "we struck it off well" when talking in the jail. Albanese's wife had asked Kelly to visit her husband in McHenry county jail. The lawyer said his first meeting with the 44-year-old Albanese was in court Feb. 2, where the murder suspect told Judge Henry Cowlin that Atty. Michael Caldwell would be representing him. Kelly said Caldwell is representing Albanese on other matters, but he will represent the accused man in criminal > proceedings. McHenry County Boara Propose Freeze On Filling Vacancies by Angela Burden SHAW MHMA NBWS SCRVtCt In its continuing effort toward a more balanced budget for next year, the McHenry County board finance com­ mittee has suggested decreasing the complement of employees by cutting out current openings that are not filled. "We have to settle this before the next budget so department heads can't put these vacant positions in their budgets next year," said Paul Fidler, of McHenry, finance committee chair­ man. He said by "cutting out the dead wood" the next budget would be "hopefully more realistic." Fidler said the changes in employee complement would be included in the personnel manual now being prepared and he would like to see the cuts recommended to the board by its March meeting. When a tax anticipation warrant not to exceed $400,000 was recommended to the board, several members strongly objected. Ed Buss of McHenry suggested the board should rely on working cash funds in the county. "With more than we need in the Illinois Municipal Retirement fund, there is no need to draw on a tax an­ ticipation warrant," Buss said. He said the county board should not tax the people by issuing these warrants. Board members William Cavemy and A1 Collins agreed with Buss, as did several other members of the board, which voted 14-8 in favor of the warrants against the mental health fund. County Treasurer Audrey Walgen- bach explained that if the election bills were heavy, "we'll need money to pay them." She said if the tax bills are late this year, money might be needed to pay bills. She explained tax bills might not "get out early" because of delays with the state multiplier. Randy Woloski, county supervisor of assessments, notified the board Tuesday that all Board of Review hearings have concluded and all its decisions have been made. He noted all individual value changes have been entered into the computer and audit trails on those entries have been checked and verified. Woloski reported all assessment books are signed and closed by the Board of Review and that the running of the farm land factor computer program is in process. This report means the tax bills will be out on time, if not delayed by the state multiplier. An additional financial discussion was held when a proposal to increase fees was recommended by the board's health and agricultural committee. After a study by the health depart­ ment and Board of Health, it was found that fees charged for services by the Animal Control unit are inadequate to cover the cost of providing those ser­ vices. The study also showed that permit fees assessed for establishments ser­ ving and selling food and drinks are not adequate to cover the cost off per­ forming services required by law. The county board approved the new fAp Qrhpdillp^ "If we keep increasing wages, we must also increase the cost of ser­ vices," Buss said. Gilligan Is Judged Not Guilty It was a "not guilty" verdict returned by Judge Leonard Brody at the close of a bench trial in 19th Circuit court Wednesday against Edward S. Gilligan, 44, of 1410 Wauconda road, Burton's Bridge. Gilligan had been charged by the state with aggravated battery against his 74-year-old mother, Anna Mae Gilligan, resulting from an Oct. 10 incident in the son's residence. Mrs. Gilligan charged that her son had treated her roughly and thrown her against a cement block wall in the basement. Photos were produced by the State in their case against Gilligan. However, testimony of an emergency room doctor revealed that no bruises were noted upon her admittance on the day of the incident. Also, three youths working in the basement at that time testified that Gilligan did not treat his mother roughly, but, in fact, that she fell while climbing the stairs. She returned to the Gilligan home after examination at the hospital, and two days later decided to leave for her daughter's residence. FREE IMMUNIZATIONS Free immunizations for children in high school and under will be given Wednesday morning, Feb. 24, from 8:30 to 11 a.m. in Room 101 of the New McHenry county courthouse located on Route 47 north of Woodstock.
