JUNE JO, 1002 MUD OBJECTIONS GREET RTA SERVICE CURTAILMENT PLAN • / (CewHeeed liwii aege 1) already done some of theee things and others were under consideration. Among those testifying for con­ tinuation of the Harvard to Crystal Lake service was Harry Cords of Harvard. After being reassured about that service he asked about midday schedules for people in toe Harvard area. He noted that aftef 9 a.m. there were no buses until l >.m. An RTA staffer explained that this service had been eliminated last fall and this resulted in considerable savings. As Cords asked about service extensions to Hebron or to Chemung, Boose said that earlier studies dating back to 1976 had considered these and found them not justified. Boose went on to say the RTA currently was having trouble "balancing the balls", but they were now getting those balls in place. He listed the troubles as federal funding cutbacks, lsck of state funding, a poor economy and fair increases (decreasing ridership). Scott Summers of Harvard accepted the need for the service cuts but was concerned about future cuts which he could foresee. He suggested that the RTA in the future survey riders in the event of curtailments and find out how they will be effected and if they would have alternative transportation. Jsmes Rakow, county superin­ tendent of highways, read into the record the resolution passed by the county board that'urged the RTA to modify its present fixed routes as planned and to go to a contract carrier for Route 006 and to eliminate the first morning trips on Route 806. » Preserving Harmony Wiedner-MCC Hassle Continues Shaw MedU News Service the matter of "reasonable again by the McHeary Cotmty college board of trustees Thursday night.

Winners in the beginners A class included Kris Limbaugh of the Cherry Valley club, graduate novice class. _r_ Everyone has an opportunity to put something into the Time Capsule for Fiesta Days. Former Alderman Vince Adams is one who took advantage of that op­ portunity. He is immortalizing the duo that has delighted many for several decades. "Twelve feet of Harmony"--six foot Vince and his six-foot brother Clem will entertain McHenry residents in 2082 when they play the cassette tape and they can even get a good "video" of the Adams brothers because their picture will be there too. "Twelve feet of Harmony" began in 1932 with Clem playing guitar and Vince playing mandolin. Later, Vince picked up the fiddle and the brothers picked up Peter and Gerry Hamil and the four men became "Vince Adams & the Bronk Busters". They played for square dances and parties throughout southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and individually performed on WLS, WMRO, WROK, and WIBU. In 1977 Bill McNeil of Ozark Mountaineer magazine heard of the "12 feet of Harmony" and came to McHenry to audition the brothers. That resulted In two performances at the Ozark Festival, first on April 22, 1977, and again on April 20,1960, when the brothers had the honor of singing along with Grandpa Jones of TV's STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD "Hee-Haw" stum. Vince and Clem left a legacy in Mountain View, Ark., as well--their tape of 90 songs is now part of the Ozark Folk Music library. The Adams brothers are aa native to McHenry as their name la familiar. Born and rasied just north of John- sburg, Vince has been in McHenry all his life, except for hunting and fishing trips to Montona, Michigan and Wisconsin,and all over Illinois, singing trips to wherever the country gigs were; also a 10-day trip to Hawaii and a three-week vacation In Europe when their itinerary included visiting relatives in Germany. Vince married Pauline Herdrich in 1940. Their son, Vincent, also lives in McHenry, along with his wife Diane (Lock wood) and children Vincent, 9, and Renie, 7. Having the youngsters come to visit is about the best treat a day can bring to Vince theee days. Among Vince's contributions to Weidner said he will think about reeearching the precise figures, but is angry with what he views as stall tactics by the board. "They have in their possession a schedule of my trips," he said. "My request is still in. I honestly believe that this is a whitewash. Politics are being played." * Weidner, a 10-year veteran trustee and now real estate broker in Har­ vard, said he only requested reim­ bursement on trips he could "verify and justify." He told the board, "If you consider a 10-cent mileage rate, then apply an interest factor, you'll come up with a figure as great as mine." As to why he waited nearly four months sfter losing his bid for re­ election last fall to submit the requeat, Weidner pointed to a letter written in March. "I felt , .at the time that MCC was a struggling, young institution that needed all the help it could get." Weidner wrote. " Looking back, I guess that was a little naive...." In a statement before the board, Weidner reiterated what he ' con­ sidered a double standard at what he termed "Coventry College." Weidner Ms. Kropp Weidner's arguments are r She said Murphy's trips to St, Louis or Springfield are part of his respon­ sibility as representative to the Illinois Community College Trustees' association -- a board-appointed and time-consuming position.

Four Charges In Car Crash Weidner used the name of the Crystal Lake subdivision to describe what he sees as negligence on the board's part to understand and ac­ commodate the needs of outlying municipalities in District 528. "It's been very disappointing to find that nothing has changed in the past 11 years," he said. "If (a person) should be out of the area and has the guts to think different, then he's in trouble." Weidner said he has "nothing personal" against any trustee, but charged that with the exception of Bartlett, no college official has communicated with him. "It's like getting a mule's attention with a two-by-four between the ears," he said. . « MCC Chairwoman Barbara Kropp refuted the charge of board in­ difference.

Hallberg, of 2403 Hyde Park, Holiday Hills, faces charges of driving under the influence, improper overtaking, speeding and improper overtaking on the right. A deputy from the McHenry County Sheriffs police saw the Hallberg vehicle speeding, 58 mph in a 40 zone, and pulled out to stop the auto. The deputy then saw the Hallberg auto nearly strike another vehicle and attempt to pass the vehicle on the shoulder of the road. I • The Hallberg auto left the roadway, became airborne and landed in two- and-a-half feet of water in a drainage ditch near the intersection. The report said Hallberg would give no information and just "screamed and hollered." The McHenry Area Rescue squad was called to a one-vehicle accident that occurred at 4:25 a.m.. at the in­ tersection of Lincoln road and Woodlawri Park.

Wiley, of 2020 Barnard Mill road, McHenry, told police aha did not see an auto driven by Mariana J.

Maybe you never noticed it. but during the day people use a lot of electricity. It usually takes everything we've sot, even • our expensive oil burners, to keep up with the demand. So electricity costs a lot more to make. And people have to pay more for it. That's why Ice Storage, a revolutionary cooling system for big buildings, is tetter than regular air conditioning. It works at night instead, when the demand for electricity goes way down and our main generating statKms. the ones that run on low-cost coal and uranium, hardly work up a sweat. And electricity costs up to four- and-a- ice. And And more cold. Enough to keep an army of Eskimos feeling right at home. So when 8 a.m. rolls around and the day shift is ready to face another hot one, all that cold is ready too. Ready to circulate through tne building and keep everybody cool till the sun goes down. For sure, well all be a k>t better off when there are more innovations like the Ice Storage system. That's why we're researching and developing other ideas to slow the growing daytime demand for electricity, especially in the summer. In the meantime, if we can all do a little something to put off using electricity during the day, like not running the dishwasher or clothes aryer until 9 or 10 p.m, k can make a difference now. Shifting some of the demand to night can keep costs down. And just maybe, help us all get some control over tomorrow. e Commonwealth Edison Dcrfl take tamancw tor granted DON & LII'S r M O N D A Y T H R U S A T U R D A Y , CHILDREN'S SHOP ^ -CHILDREN'S SHOP 23 N WILLIAMS ST 815 4 59 4 661 DOWNTOWN CRYSTAL LAKE I
