j PAGE It - PLAINDEALER • FRIDAY. JULY 2.1M2 MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' Last weekend we spent s few en­ joyable hours at St. Patrick'! Sum- merfest. There are few efforts locally as as >Wi undertaking, utilizing talents than run the gamut. The result is not only an evening of fun but of entertainment that is as rewarding for the performer! as it is enjoyable for the viewer. And while we who only watch may direct our compliments to those directly responsible for our pleasure, we are not unaware of the folks behind the scenes who have made all of it possible. The weekend brought our thank*, too, for an MCHS class that has remained loyal to their school and their community through the 40-pi us years since graduation. Realizing that much can change in a five-year period, more than 20 members who fathered in reunion last June deddeato try it on an annual basis. The result was 16 members at brunch last Sunday, followed by three hours of reminiscing as visiting graduates joined thoee who remained in the home town. Each had something of interest to offer, and together, fact and fancy resulted in a good picture of what life in McHenry was like for the young in the Depression years, before growth settled in. A call from a classmate, Clarence Anderson, in Oregon, convinced us that, indeed, home is^rhere the heart is. KAF McHENRY NAMES NEW QUEEN (Cortlmwd from 1) American Legion Poet 401. This year Miss McHenry and*iter mother will enjoy a trip to the World's Fair in Knoxville, Tenn. Fran Olsen, executive director of the Chamber, and Bryce Klontz, president of the Chamber board of directors, presented the gifts, including gold- filled necklaces with gold seeds for the members of the court, and Fiesta Days tee-shirts and compacts engraved with Miss McHenry Pageant 1982 for each contestant. Every girl carried a long-stemmed red roee, gifts from the Ladies auxiliary to the American Legion. The auxiliary annually provides space for the charm course and the pageant, assisting Marisa Merkel in numerous ways throughout the pageant events. Miss McHenry will also have a queen's portrait as one of her prizes. Another highlight of the evening was the announcement of Miss Congeniality. This title is bestowed on a contestant by the girls themselves, and this year they selected Kellie Fleming, 17, for the tenorKwHWk the daughter of the Philip Flemings of 4121 Wilmot, and is a 1982 graduate of Johns burg high school. She plans on a appeal process business major at McHsnry County college. Bonnie Sheehan, mistress of ceremonies, once again deftly guided the girla through the evening's program, as they pirouetted for the judges, answered questions, and tried to remain composed in each phaae of the competition. Lee Steinadoerfer provided the background music that helped add the aura of glamour and excitement to the pageant. In a special tribute, Marisa Merkel presented Bill Dumalski of Chain O Lakes Travel with a plaque honoring him for his many yean of assistance in producing the pageant "He's a quiet contributor", Ms. Merkel said. "I absolutely could not get the job done without people like him." The plaque state* that the 1MB McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce salutes Bill Dumalski for outstanding service. Another poignant moment came when the 1981 Miss McHenry, Erin Mullen, gave her farewells, and thanked Fran Olsen and Marisa Merkel for their constant support and friendship and their consistent help in the many situations a reigning queen faces. She further paid tribute to the people of McHenry for their frien­ dliness, as she had not grown up in this community, and was over­ whelmed by the recognition and kindness she received from local residents. She reiterated a statement heard throughout the evening, that the judges would have a difficult time choosing, and wished each conteetant the best of luck because they were an outstanding group of young women. The new Miss McHenry will preside over Fiesta Days from July 23 through the parade on Aug. 1. The poise, humor, and personality that im­ pressed Judges Dick Foxman, of R and M Kaufmann Apparel, Chria Murray, accounts manager for Amtrak, and Frank Raines, a Delta Airlines pilot, will serve Connie Ann well in the busy days ahead. As one of the contestants said in a pre-conteet interview, "Whoever wins, I don't care, because all these girls are wonderful, and it's been a memorable experience. I've learned so much about myself, and about other girls my age. It's been worth everything." County Collmgm Reject Tax Break Request Jmw the the of rejected a tax ai from a Spring Grove by Actown Inc., of Spring Grove. The request came in the wake of an amendment to the Iteteiimi Act, effective Jan. 1, which states: "Any taxing district, upon the majority vote of ita governing authority, may, after $e deter­ mination of. the aeeeeead valuation of its property, order (he clerk of that county ter abate any portion of ita taxes. ...

MCC President Robert Bartlett reported to the board that dtacuesions with the Illinois Community College Trustees association revealed that only one other community rolkgr in the state had addreaaed the abatement issue. Carl Sandburg college opted for a very general policy supporting tax abatement requests from new manufacturing firms only. Manufacturing was not defined. Bartlett added that other taxing bodies contacted by Actown- fM8 to he of the matter. He asked the beard to think of the homeowner. "Can we abating with Malted reeources?" Added Chairwoman Barbara Kropp, "To tarn around and abate certain people's taxes is con­ tradictory." . Ttuslee Eugene Meyer agreed with the majority. "AO they're trying to do is open up the doer," l» sakL "You'll Mf In here by the It cotrid be thouaanda of dollars smnewLen down the line." Truateee Herbert Lutter and Michael McNerney dteagreed. f argued aueh an n^fiUmfnl would encourage development and asked the board to encourage the long-range impact "I'm in favor of supporting economic development," McNerney paid, "with the idea that it would put county people to work." McNerney aaid he believes the college is not hound to precedent Mite a trial court. Indeed, although this particular request waa defeated, any company la free to submit a request in the future. Actown Preeident Dave Weisberg said the board's action will not affect the estimated 100 to 200 people the new plant will employ. But he added, "In my opinion, it's really sad that (the board) is not going to help us out and make it easier."
