PACiE 7 - PLAINDCALER - FRIDAY. JANUARY 2S , 1983 week, was moved to McLean county on a change of venue from McHenry county. A special meeting of the Village of Wonder Lake board of trustees was held to discuss the resignations of Village President James Rachel, Treasurer Nita Cebaugh and Emergency Services and Disaster Agency Coordinator Jerry Simpson, Jr. In_ a letter to village trustees, Rachel cited as a reason that "the personal stress of dealing with the continuous conflicts and gossip overpowers successful ac­ complishments." Debbie Jayko and Paul Klein became Johnsburg high school's newest royal pair when they were crowned queen and king of the junior- senior prom. Congressman Robert McClory (R- 13th) has reported from Washington that President Reagan's 1983 budget for the Army Corps of Engineers includes $433,000 to continue the Illinois portion of the Fox River and Tributaries study affecting Kane, Lake, McHenry and Kendall counties and Chain-O-Lakes, The Montini Catholic Schools adopted the school's 1982-83 budget at its last meeting. Set at $337,400, it includes the funding of the kin­ dergarten, new in 1982-83. Governor James R. Thompson has proclaimed May as McHenry County Industry Appreciation month in Illinois. The governor's proclamation kicks off a three-month effort by state, county and local groups to survey local industries to find ways to keep them operating in McHenry county and to help them expand. A split vote at the regular city council meeting sent the redistricting of McHenry political wards to a committee meeting of the whole. Chairman of the redistricting com­ mittee, Alderman Ronald Meurer (4th ward), said he would be against moving an alderman into another ward unless those involved were in agreement. Under the plan presented, Alderman Jack Pepping (1st ward) would be moved to the 3rd ward, currently represented by Aldermen Michael Wieser and Raymond Smith. The plan shows an extension of the 3rd ward-primarily the northeast part of the city-which travels along the south side of- Route 120 to include Lakeland Shores to nearly Pleasant Valley. Charles M. Albanese, 44, of Spring Grove, was convicted on two counts of murder and one count of attempted murder in Bloomington. The same jury will deliberate on whether Albanese should receive the death penalty or imprisonment for the ar­ senic poisonings of his father, Michael Albanese, 69, his wife's grandmother, Mary Lambert, 89, and the attempted arsenic poisoning of his younger brother, Michael Jay, 34. Voicing complaints of area residents, Alderman Raymond Smith (3rd ward) demanded immediate action at the City Council meeting regarding the paving of a parking lot at the apartment building at 704 Logan street, McHenry. Convicted murderer Charles M. Albanese had a d£ath penalty returned against him by the same jury that found him guilty of the ar­ senic murder of family members. 1 The hiring of an additional full-time psychologist-teacher coordinator for the 1982-83 school year was approved by the McHenry School District 156 board at its May meeting. Because of a recent change in the rules and regulations relating to Title I 89-313 funds and the eligibility of behavioral disorder students, Dennis Welter, director of Special programs, made application for funding, claiming the students in the District 156 B.D. program for the first time. The village board of Lakemoor threatened to force tenants of the Fritzsche Industrial subdivision out of their buildings in an effort to compel hookups to the village sewer system in a position statement issued May 13. The village attorney said the superintendent of utilities would "red tag" the building again (notice of non­ compliance and that the buildings were not habitable) and removal of the tags would result in criminal penalties being asked by the village for the owner and tenants. The McHenry political ward realignment proposed by a committee of the McHenry City Council has met with varied and vocal reaction from councilmen. The plan would enlarge the third ward located in the northeast part of McHnery, by taking portions of the first and second wards. The plan would extend the third ward west along the south side of Route 120 starting at Industrial drive en­ compassing Whispering Oaks, north of the creek. The third ward would also incorporate a portion of the northern-most tfrst ward. In order to obtain contiguity, the uninhabited area just west of the railroad tracks was also included in the third ward, according to the proposed plan. Some third ward residents have expressed displeasure with the proposed plan noting that residents of the extension are between one and two miles from the rest of the ward. A task of organizing a family reunion for the descendants of the 20 immigrants bearing the surname of Freund is under way. The event is being called Freund Family Fest. Those immigrants from the Eifel region of what is now West Germany have been the focus of the genealogical research of Dr. Hanns Egon Freund, a lawyer living in Munich, Germany. Dr. Freund and his wife will be the guests of honor at the reunion scheduled for Sept. 4 at the Johnsburg Community club. McHenry County sheriff's detec­ tives have been investigating the theft of cable television services and their probe has led to the arrests of four McHenry area residents. A convoluted zoning hearing took another turn as the petitioner re- amended an amended petition and the objector reinstituted a withdrawn objection. The hearing concerned the petition of Lester C. Laufer for an­ nexation and zoning of a four-acre parcel located a half-mile south of Bull Valley and Route 31 on the east side of the highway. The developer, Laufer, is seeking appropriate zoning for the construction of a medical- professional office building and clinic, with medical services to be performed on the site. The hospital objected to the original request for B-3 com­ mercial zoning, fearing that the services offered by the medical "clinics" could negatively affect the financial feasibility study for the relocation of McHenry hospital. JUNE The official Air Force investigation has concluded that the U.S. Air Force jet tanker that crashed two months ago in McHenry county, killing all 27 persons aboard, apparently broke apart in midair after an explosion in a fuel tank. An explosion blew out the side of a condominium at 4916 Oakwood. in McHenry. Company I of Township Fire Protection district the McHenry Area Rescue squad were immediately dispatched to the scene when word was received that "a house was blowing up".

In McHenry township, Road Commissioner Clarence Regner said that all of the old roads in Eastwood Manor are included in the 1982-83 road program. Additional roads include well traveled roads in Pistakee Highlands, Huemann subdivision, Maryville Heights and Ringwood.
