"THE HOUSE THAT SERVICE BUILT" SCO. P. FREMIB, I1K 4102 W. CRYSTAL LAKE ROAD, McHENRY, ILL, (SIS)»S«4M • M 1»-FLA1MIKALER - FRIDAY, QUESTION VILLAGE ROAD REPAIRS (Continued from page 1) district may be formed -- providing it passes a referendum. Indian Ridge Attorney David Gervais said he still is waiting for the master association response to the suit, expected Nov. 3. Poper suggested there are many variables, including a new one which requires land in a proposed park district to be surveyed. "To get started, you'd need $5,000 to $10,000," he said. Also, providing the boundaries were not successfully contested, at least half the district's members would have to vote yes. "It they (subdivisions) have trouble collecting their own dues, where are they going to get the money to start a park district?" Trustee Dave Kuziel asked. "We shouldn't spend village money to fight something that may never happen," Sorenson added. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from pogt 1) no one volunteered to take insibility for Dumpling and Cat. ch morning we arose earlier than we preferred to be greeted, as we are 365 days of the year, by hideous noises that clearly tell us there are two hungry mouths to feed. We went to bed only after their midnight snacks were served. Monday morning, Oct. 11, it was back to work with no break in home routine. Dumpling ate a hearty break­ fast and curled up on the sunporch for a snooze. Cat made away with a good sized portion of a tuna mixture for- felines, clawed the screen in a last bid for a second helping, then wandered leisurely to his place in the sun. And what did we do? We came back to the office, where scads of mail and notations had gathered on our desk. The phone was still ringing as it had done when we left at 5 o'clock Oct. 1. The crew was pleasant enough - they always are - but we felt cheated. No one had pampered us or put that "Do Not Disturb" sign on our desk. Guess it doesn't pay to be just a human being! KAF AREA BYPASS HASSLE GOES ON (Contlnwod from pogo 1) programming. It calls for the Recommended Long-Range Tran­ sportation plan passed in June 1961 to be updated on an annual basis and an include an estimate of revenues which will become available during that period. Collins said he is angry that the resolutions call on IDOT rather than the county to begin studies. The action "does nothing to determine the relevance of this issue," he said. "The credibility of the original plan has been tainted." OCTOBER 15,1982 Collins called on the board to ex­ plore financial resources, get a feel for the sentiment on the bypass in Richmond and other nearby com­ munities, and review undedicated roads and land usage throughout the county. He said Richmond is placed in the wrong district. The village has more in common with McHenry than Chemung, Collins argued. Collins also told the half-dozen merchants that money to update the , plan would be minimal. The board is spending $400(000 to plan a Route 31 bypass around McHenry, he said, and has no qualms about digging into motor fuel tax funds to finance road planning. During the last six months of fiscal 1982, the board expects to spend about $200,000 of that money, with another $335,000 targeted for next year. Collins said such use of motor fuel tax funds has caused the board to reinstitute the matching fund tax after seven years. The board expects to get $345,000 next year from the tax, he said. Collins viewed the bypass as an inevitable fact unless Richmond merchants and citizens mount united opposition. "Large amounts of money have been spent to acquiring right-of-way," he said. "That is one of the reasons I base my conclusion that this project will go." But even if the county tran­ sportation plan receives renewed approval by the county board, the bypass is still far from certain. Toney Ofnacz, route studies engineer with IDOT, said the state would do its own study to "supplement and verify data" compiled by Barton-Aschman Associates, Inc. for the county. Ofnacz said that traffic analysis is "on hold" due to lack of funds from the Federal Highway Administration. He added that a rejection of a Route 12 bypass of Richmond by the board would have an impact on its decision to build, but would not guarantee its •> death. Ofnacz disagreed with Collins saying that the statute applies to Recommended Long-Range Tran­ sportation plan. The county's study is sub-regional, he said, rather than for the entire six-county Chicago area. In his opinion, the statute refers to a plan updated annually by the Chicago Area Transportation Study (CATS) and the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC). State's Attorney Theodore Floro is not sure either way, without further study. "Can they (board members) do it if it's in violation of the law? Sure, if no one complains," Floro said. But there are plenty of complaints, particularly from Richmond mer­ chants. "I can't believe this is being considered," said Ernie Andre, a merchant. "It's a total boondoggle." "They (IDOT officials) are going to spend $17 million for 3.7 miles," said Connie Blanchette, another Richmond merchant. "Before you play Russian roulette with somebody's economic future, you have to say 'shou'd we pass this?' " Collins said. Johnsburg School Lunch Program In Popularity Rise by Myrtle Procter Pat Bingham reported at a recent meeting of the Johnsburg school board on the school lunch program. Up to this time, the program is han­ dling about 100 more lunches than this time last year. She credited the staff of the food handling program as being respon­ sible for the vastly improved lunches and atmosphere surrounding the cafeteria. It was announced that Oct. 14 would be a special lunch day and board members are invited to attend. Due to lack of information, the bus propane bids were delayed until the • next meeting. „ . -- ̂ The board formally adopted the Child Rearing policy and had the first reading on the Teachers Wages policy and the Personal Leave policy. Also considered for the first reading, the High School Credit for Correspondence (Independent Study). This policy is meant to spell out details of accredited courses which would be accepted by the high school and which were obtained from sources other than the regular classroom. Russ Greenwood was recognized for service he has rendered the school in closed circuit TV procedures. President Hart directed the superintendent to find a suitable recognition award for citizens who had rendered outstanding services to the schools. Kim Perkins reported on the open house held at the Ringwood school. He stated, "144 parents attended representing 100 families - enrollment 124". From those attending the open house 32 parents signed up as volunteers. Other principals were equally pleased with the open house program. Hie high school administration had hoped for a larger turnout, but ex­ pressed favorable response for those attending.
