WIUIAM NEUMANN. CLU CHARTERED FINANCIAL CONSULTANT 4306 B W. Crystal Lake Road McHenry, Illinois 60050 Office Telephone: 344-5858 SEPTEMBER The Master Property Owners' association for the Wonder Lake area is being sued by Indian Ridge Im­ provement association and Highland Shores Property owners' association for a declaratory judgment. The two subdivisions, which are the largest in Wonder Lake area, brought suit against the Master association due to the voting procedure at a meeting held Dec. 13, 1981. S On that date, a vote was held to determine whether the Master Property Owners' association should support the formation of ^ park district to fund dam repairs and oversee repairs of the Wonder Lake dam. The Park district was seen by many delegates as the only feasible method to equitably assess property owners of the funds needed to repair the dam. M. David Cain, president of the McHenry hospital board, confirmed that at a meeting with the rating service, Standard & Poors in New York, the hospital received a provisional rating of Triple B plus. A ground breaking will be held later in September at the site of the new medical complex, Rt. 31 and Bull Valley road. Citing failing eyesight and poor health, Alderman George Harker (2nd ward) announced his resignation from the McHenry City Council. The resignation was to take effect at the close of the special meeting. Harker served as second ward alderman on the council for the last 12 years. Followffig considerable council discussion and salesmen's claims, the McHenry City Council concurred with engineering*, recommendations and purchased a "remanufactured" centrifuge for the sewer plant at a considerable savings. The first phase of a building program at St. Patrick's Catholic parish began with demolition of the convent building at the corner of Green and Washington streets. The building had been unoccupied for the last year. On that site there will be erected a new priests' residence providing suites for two priests and ac­ commodations for a visiting priest. The McHenry City Council ap­ proved required formal actions for the two large bond issues for the new hospital south of the city. Included was the proposal by the McHenry State bank and several others to purchase the entire issues consisting of $617,000 for the special service area and $205,000 for the city's par­ ticipation in the water and sewer extensions required. In other actions the council ap­ propriated $133,532 from Motor Fuel Tax funds for the city's share of the Meadow lane project. It had its start in Germany, in the fertile land of the Rhineland area. It reached a memorable peak inside, and in the shadow of, the beautiful and impressive St. John the Baptist Catholic church, Johnsburg. With a bright sun .shining on them, and ideal temptffetiiffes, about 750 descendants of the German Freunds took part in the long planned Freund Family Fest. Dr. Hanns Egon Freund, a Munich, Germany, lawyer who has done ex­ tensive genealogical research on the Freund family name, was impressed by the entire event. Festivities will mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Johnsburg Com munity club and the tenth annual Saufen and Speil Fest sponsored by the club. The Johnsburg Community club, founded in 1922 with Math N. Schmitt as the first president, has always been a dominating force for growth and progress in the Johnsburg area. Through the early years, the club was instrumental in securing the bridge and highways built in the community.

City Council action authorized Mayor Joseph Stanek to participate in an agreement with the Illinois Department of Transportation, where the state would provide $100,000 toward the dredging of Boone creek.

A family business which had its start well before the turn of the century is observing 100 years of service to the community. Today, there are two businesses which evolved from the partnership of brothers that existed for 12 years. They are the oldest businesses in McHenry still in operation by the original family. , The N.J. Justen Furniture and Undertaking firm was established in 1882 and later became knowrt agWIfr'* Peter M. Justen & Son func^^MPf now located at 3807 W. Elm strait. r When the partnership of Nick and Jacob Justen was dissolved, Jacob located on the corner of Green and Elm streets.

Both sides have said it may be necessary for federal action to end the strike. Noting recent interest in another video game arcade, the McHenry City Council expressed general consensus against increasing the number of licenses. At present, there is one license in the city. The ordinance requires the licensing of any establishment that has more than four coin operated amusement machines. A school district-related strip of land is muddying up the title to the present McHenry hospital building. The three-foot strip is a portion of a storm sewer easement held by the school district and providing drainage from East campus to Boone creek. The Bollman addition to the hospital is built on three feet of the easement. In order for the hospital to sell bonds for the new construction on Route 31, a clear title is needed for the old building; therefore, a disclaimer to the three feet of easement lying under Bollman pavilion must be obtained from the school district. The district's attorney had okayed such an action but had suggested that the board might want to obtain a comparable three-foot strip along the opposite side of the storm sewer easement in order to insure adequate access to the sewer. The fruition of an idea sown in the 1960's was celebrated with the ground breaking ceremony at the Route 31- Bull Valley road site of the new McHenry hospital-the Northern Illinois Medical center.

The McHenry Elementary board of education, District 15, has given final approval to a $3.7 million budget for the 1982-83 school year.
