Dorothy Schultz, fair secretary, reports entries in many classes ex coed the number of a year ago, primarily in the smaller animals and in poultry and goats The number of steers and dairy animals continues to decline slowly. Mrs. Schultx said the fair is offering $40,000 in prize money for open class, tractor pulls, harness racing, horse shows, and other specialty at­ tractions. A special feature is that on Thur­ sday afternoon, Aug. 5, McHenry county trained and driven horses with lifetime earnings not exceeding $10,000 will vie in the McHenry county pace.

All three Farm Bureau, Memorial hospital and Dairy Promotion council - are in Building D Major improvements to the grounds through the years include asphalt roadways, new exhibit buildings, lighted parking areas, and extensive public address systems. Free parking on the grounds and free admission to all grandstand shows make the county fair one of the season's best attractions, says Charles Weingart of McHenry. fair president, as he invites the public to "relax and enjoy" at the McHenry County Fair. Woodstock OPTIMISM FOR SCHOOL OUTLOOK (Continued from pog* 1) cellent board member, but she is an excellent person." The family of William Haag, Jr., was advised by Dr Andreas that a resolution commending him for his outstanding service to the Johnsburg schools and the community would be recorded in the board minutes, and a framed parchment copy of the resolution would be delivered to the family Roger Kriewaldt was appointed coordinator of Section 504 which deals with the rights of the handicapped. He was also appointed eleweiUaiy school The Athletic council reported that some reevaluation of the suspension policy had determined that a more equitable ruling will be enacted and that all athletes will be arlviawi of the change. The change deals speofically with the time of suspension. , The Wildcat Booster club presented a gift of $300 to have Johnsburg Wildcats painted on the gym floor at the end lines. At the executive session. Randy Oberembt was elected to serve as Dean of Students. The resignation of Rick Keber, graphic arta in the high school, was accepted. In other action taken by the board, Sue Maiorca was appointed as a hoard member to fill the unexpired term of Mrs. Standi. Ms. Maiorca came within three votes of being elected to the board in last year's election as a write-in candidate. It was the in­ cumbent whom she almost unseated who made the motion to elect Ms Maiorca to the board. GRANT FOR CREEK DREDGING (Continued from »> Wieser, observing that the description was in meetslind bounds rather than a lot number, suggested that the land was obviously not plotted, and he would rather look at a survey of it to see what the city is getting. He also questioned the $14,000 orice in the present market. The second proposal was for city acquisition of a "nurse truck" to haul liquid sludge from the disposal plant over the road to the various farms where it would be spread by "Big Wheels", a special vehicle for such distribution. Paul Halvensleben. superintendent of public works, noted that the travel to and from the disposal plant by "Big Wheels" was rapidly wearing it out. And the proposed equipment, a tractor with an appropriately sized stainless steel tank trailer (up to 6,000 gallons*, would make one trip over the road trip for four now made by "Big Wheels" (capacity 1,500 gallons), which would remain at the sites where sludge was being spread Wieser said the proposal should be sent to the purchasing committee, where the negotiating price should start at $0,000, not the $12,500 being proposed for tbe jO-year old equip­ ment. This could be for the truck tractor only. The tank trailer would be another item ranging possibly up to $20,000. It was also suggested that the city could advertise for its needs and look at newer equipment. Alderman George Harker warned that the finances of the water and sewer fund was not great and they could not really afford newer equipment. This proposal could possibly serve the city for up to five or six years, it was estimated. As the council considered Wieser's controversial license committee report, members, did approve a consistent 2 a.m. closing time for taverns instead of different times for Friday and Saturday as now provided, and bogged down over eliminating fees and-or permits for garage sales. Wieser, in urging the change in the closing time law, said the present policy was inconsistent, and proposed the same time for each night except for New Year's eve and when the time changed back in the fall "to the first time the clock strikes two." Mayor Stanek promised to veto this action if passed, warning that, "it would open up a Pandora's box," and would give McHenry a "Honky Tonk" appearance. Wieser took exception, noting that McCullom Lake stayed open to 2 or 3 a.m. and was not a "Honky Tonky city". Stanek also complained that these recom­ mendations in the report had just been dropped on his desk They are very complicated and the council needed time to review them. Police Chief George Pasenelli. when asked about the possibility of trouble with the added hours, noted that from his 29 years experience, the longer a tavern is open, the more people drink, and the more trouble is possible. It was also noted that the state patrol (on youth interstate drinking; which had already reached Richmond, would probably extend into McHenry A motion to table the proposal failed and the new hours were approved Wieser also recommended abolishing the $5 permit fee for garage sales and questioned what the fee is for. He suggested the city could retain the ordinance controlling the McHENRY OPTICIANS 1301 RIVERSIDE DR. McHENRY.

(815)385-5300 PUBLIC NOTICE The Town of Nunda, McHenry County, State of Illinois, a unit of local government, authorized by and through Its Board of Town Trustees to levy ad valorem taxes (hereinafter referred to aq "Taxing District"), does hereby pursuant to an act known as "THE TRUTH IN TAXATION ACT" (H.B. 1048 signed by the Governor of the State of Illinois on July 29, 1981) give public notice of its intent to adopt an aggregate levy in amounts more than 105% of the amount of proper­ ty taxes extended or estimated to be extended upon the levy of the preceding year. In compliance with "THE TRUTH IN TAXATION ACT" the public is hereby notified of the following: FUNDS OF TAXING DISTRICT GIANT ZINNIAS! Giant zinnias!

Alderman Nolan objected because the fee covered the cost of permit issuance and the required display card. She said she hadn't heard any complaints against the fee or permit. , Alderman Harker said that prior to the ordinance he had a number of complaints against the traffic generated by unrestrained garage sales in his area. As Alderman Smith proposed lifting both the fee and it requirement and a series of amemfmetttrTftd retractions left everyone confusedNWieser said he wanted to withdraw the.whole thing, and the mayor called for a~recess till feelings quieted. \ Wieser also proposed clarificatkwi of the solictor permit ordinance with clearer language to identify Class A and Class B solicitors. Class A would include representatives from non­ profit organizations (charitable) who would furnish their own identification and pay no fee Class B would include commerical solicitors who would pay a $50 fee for their organization and $5 per solictor. When Wieser said he wanted his committee to review all applications. Alderman Jack Pepping said he didn't want the council te get involved with the day to day work He said he wduld rawer be the arbiter of those cases that don't conform rather than review those that are commonly and ' traditionally accepted. Witter in- j sisted, "I want to know who's oat * there " The lead time for applications would be reduced from 15 and 90 days f to 15 and 30 days for the several types of permits. In other actions, aldermen blocked * the use of $1,000 previously set aakle by the council to make usable for area residents part of a 14-acre park in Fox Ridge which has been dedicated to the city by the developers. Access to the • park" at present would be across the developer's land for which be has given permission. The money was to. be used for leveling and mowing a play area. Aldermen wanted to clear aify-actions through the park com­ mittee^ The council authorized $2,500 for drainage improvement on Meadow lane which would alleviate a present problem area on Commercial drive. The mayor used his 'no' vote to break a tie on a proposal to convert a two-way stop to a four-way at the intersection of Dale and High streets. The mayor explained that police said there were no serious safety problems at the intersection and the change was not warranted. Japanese Youth Visiting With Wonder Lake Family Living in a strange country with a new family can be a frightening ex­ perience for almost anyone, but for Manatfu Noda of Japan, it is an op­ portunity to visit the United States and to improve his English Language skills. Noda is one of over 70 Japanese young people participating in a cross- cultural exchange program with Illinois 4-H families. The youth, ages 11 to 17. are Labo Party members. Noda is college male participating in the program I^abo Party is a Japanese children's organization designed to teach the English language through creative drama, games, songs and many out- of school activities including a month- long visit to America. The program also helps the Japanese visitor and his or her host family gain an ap­ preciation for each other's culture, says Kathi Weilbacher, McHenry county Extension adviser. This is the fifth tihrte Japanese young people participating in Labo have visited Illinois. The first group visited in 1974 and the first group of Illinois 4-H members went to Japan in 1975. Since that time, Illinois families have hosted over 500 Japanese youth and over 200 Illinois 4-H'ers have traveled to Japan. Noda will be staying with the Paul Brown family, Wonder Lake, until Aug 8, when he will go to Kankakee to stay with another host family prior to returning to Tokyo Aug. 24. The 4-H-Labo exchange program is sponsored by the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service.

Jack Hayes, treasurer, reports. Th^ new parking lot is to the north and east of the traditional parking area Free parking is provided on the fairgrounds Improvements also include work on the toilet facilities and supplying gravel to needed areas. Through the T; years the fair board has supplied *' asphalt roadways, improved roads in the parking facilities and new *; buildings to handle the burgeoning demand for exhibit space.
