PAGE 18 - PLAINDE ALER - FRIDAY, HEAR TAPES IN * WONDER LAKE CASE (Continued from pago 1) $5,580 in dues until questions con­ cerning the dues structure and records are answered. A question of record accessibility fas raised by Giertuga and Indian tidge delegate Diane Rogers. They said earlier efforts to obtain records- of 'he December meeting out of court were stifled by Beard. Giertuga said 'wo registered letters he sent to the president obtained no results. Property owner Sophie Nowacki said she personally asked Beard for minutes on numerous occasions and was denied access. Beard refuted these charges. He believes he was very cooperative in making the minutes available. Beard added he even provided billing s'atements to Giertuga. so he could "verify who was being billed and how much." Beard could not remember Nowacki, but he acknowledged receiving the letters. He said his ef- for's to telephone Giertuga were fruitless. Beard added he was not asked for he 'apes of the Dec. 13 meeting until he June delegates' meeting, and said hey were simply "an aid to the minutes." Giertuga said he is not worried a ruling in favor of a park district would hamper progress on the dam. "It shouldn't affect it in any way," he said. "The money has been collected, and as the MPOA, we are responsible for it." Dam committee Chairman Gunning told the delegates that con­ struction by Illinois Hydraulic Con­ struction Co., of Elgin, is progressing. Work on the sluice gates Has bjben going on for more than two we&kSrand next month coffer dams should be installed, he said.' The contract for the sluice gates states that they be operable within four months, by Dec. 20. Daniel H. Lau, water resources engineer with Donahue & Associates, Inc. of Waukesha, Wis., said the embankment would require 10,000 ^square yards of gabbions for SEPTEMBER 24.1S82 protection against flooding. He said the tentative cost is about $400,000. Ralph Fisher, head of dam safety with the Illinois Department of Transportation, encouraged the master association to keep up the good work. "We're real pleased that you're making the progress you are," he sain, adding that the five-year completion deadline for the project >oll stands. IT'S "INCREDIBLE" (Continued from pogo 1) cooperation and diplomatic relations. "I was one of 41 finalists from the Chicago area," Wittrock said. Another county finalist was Margaret Dawson, of Harvard. The contest involved detailing, in 50 words or less, why one would want to visit the Netherlands. In exactly 50 words, Wittrock said: "I want to visit the Netherlands because I have seen Holland only from the air.-* In 1945, the Dutch people were near starvation. We dropped food 4o them from our B-17 Flying Fortress on three missions. On our return the second day, the people spelled out "Thanks" with potted tulips." Wittrock said he was a bombardier- gunner stationed with the Army Air Corps in England during the last weeks of the war in Europe. They were asked to fly three mercy missions for the Dutch, he said, carrying food instead of bombs. On May 1, 2 and 3, 1945, Wittrock's Flying Fortress flew those missions. "We had to come in at low altitude and low speed," Wittrock said. "Some of the bags broke and you could see the women scooping foodstuffs into their aprons." Some of.the crewmen, he added, made makeshift bundles of candy, chocolate and cigarettes in han­ dkerchiefs and threw them out the bomb bay. "The cattle became frightened and stampeded because of the engine noise." Wittrock said. On the second day, as he noted in his entry, the Dutch people spelled out the word "Thanks" in potted tulips. Wittrock said they plan to extend the Week long trip to four weeks, also taking in other northern European countries. "After Holland, we'll go to Copenhagen," Wittrock said. "I was there in 1974 and saw about 15 Wit- trocks in the phone book. I didn't call any of them then, but maybe this time I will." He explained that the name "Wittrock" is originally Danish and said this particular spelling is not too common. "My grandfather came from Schleswig-Holstein, which is just south of the Denmark border, in Germany," he said. "It used to be a part of Denmark." Wittrock said he was looking for­ ward to seeing the largest flower display in Europe, which is put on once every 10 years. "They say it covers two football fields," he said. DISCLAIM LAND STRIP FOR HOSPITAL SITE (Continued from pogo 1) Price of the Warriors Booster club presented the principals of East and West campus with checks for $1,000 toward the respective schools' prom funds. Boeka also noted that the Boosters h^d recently purchased equipment for the concession stand amounting to $2,500. Sunt. Swartzloff called the board's attention to a gift of an organ to West campus received from Mrs. Walter Bjorkman and Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Bjorkman. It is the second organ dona ed 'o 'he schools by the family, •he firs' being utilized at East cam­ pus In M her action, the 1982-83 school budge' was formally adopted and board member Judith Zid was seleced as official voting delegate to 'he 1982 Illinois Association of School Boards' convention. Personnel changes included the acceptance of the January '83 retirement of George C. Haasl, business education instructor with 26 years of service. New employees include Cheryl Winkel, district art instructor; Ingrid K. Davidson, East Campus cafeteria manager; Mary Gaylord, instructional aide; Donna Ruzicka and E. Marie Bourey, cafeteria employees; and ̂ Michael Koch and Williiam Wolter, bus drivers. Following an executive session for the purpose of discussing negotiations and pursuing a student disciplinary problem, an East campus student was expelled "for selling what was pur­ ported to be drugs", according to Supt. Swartzloff. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) protecting the public against dangerous persons Who otherwise would be out on bail. Protection of the public is the crux of the amendment. It came into being because of the outcry of citizens who feel that the present law has proven inadequate to protect them from criminal defendants awaiting trial. ' Under the present Constitution, judges feel they have little choice but to grant bail to even the most dangerous criminals. The proposal would give them the power to deny bail to those whose past records in­ dicate they post so serious a threat to the public that if convicted, they may spend the rest of their lives in prison. Efforts in recent years have been to increase penalties for more serious crimes and to lengthen the sentences given to repeat offenders. The amendment is intended to complement those efforts. If the public's call for reform is any indication, support at the polls may well be as one sided as those of the Senate and House. .

"Project Red Ball" ^ Introduced By Jaycees The McHenry Area Jaycees are beginning a program called "Project Red Ball". The goal is to have decals called Red Ball Stickers placed in the bedroom windows of small children or handicapped individuals who may have trouble exiting from a burning home or apartment unaided. The prominent decal will serve as a signal for firemen who see it to look in those rooms first. The Jaycees are distributing these decals free of charge to anyone who wishes to have them, The decals are easily applied to either the inside or the outside of a window. They should be applied to the jpwer left hand side of the window "twhen viewed from the outside). More than one decal can be placed in a Fire Prevention Week window to indicate that more than one person shares the room. The decal symbol is nationally recognized, and is distributed by Jaycees across the country, and by several insurance companies. The Jaycees will be distributing decals at Pearl street park in McHenry Sunday, Sept. 26. In early October, Jaycees will be at the Lakeland Park association meeting to distribute stickers. Those wishing to have the Jaycees provide decals to a group or organization, call Joe Nootens at 385-1063 or Carl Smith at 385-4895. _ Already nearly 500 stickers have been distributed during Fiesta Days, and in Johnsburg Sept. 12.
