A proposal to increase the maximum annual tax rate for educational purposes in School District No. 32, affecting Richmond and Spring Grove voters, met with defeat tor the second lime The vot,e was :?:54 in favor and 448 opposed. NEW FACES -- NEW VIEWS (Continued from page 1) said "Oh. I definitely thought it would he a lot closer; had a lot of good people helping me. 1 will work for the good of the people." hi McHenry's fourth ward, a margin of 109 votes, 256 to 147, saw Gary Snell unseat incumbent Aid. Ronald Meurer. Two other candidates, Ray "Buzz" Bujak and Ernest Schooley, polled 119 and 9;?. respectively "I didn't know a year ago that I would be alderman today." Snell said "I am very happy about the situation." A former city employee, Snell commented that he was not totally surprised about the vote totals "Unless I was totally wrong, I kind of thought the atmosphere, or the attitude of the people, was that they were ready for a change," Snell said "I certainly hope 1 don't represent the lesser of two evils." OKAY HARD ROAD TAX (Continued from page 1) township. With the payment of another 10 cents they could transfer to the regular RTA busses for a ride to any other point in the county. Other riders would pay $1. Adams said. The 2f> percent township share would be paid from revenue sharing funds with the RTA picking up the 75 percent of cost portion The township could cancel its participation, any time Adams reassured the electors. Adams said the township also hoped to help residents with subdivision roads to improve them to township standards so they could be accepted for maintenance under the regular township road program which is supported by the road and bridge tax. This has been done earlier under special assessment procedures, he noted. Regner, adding to his earlier report, said his highway department was also adding another truck and noted that in spite of the apparently mild winter, the trucks were out more times this year than in previous years, on 23 APRIL 15,1983 days instead of the 15 to 18 times normally. This, he said, was due to icing rather than snow conditions, and the trucks did more sanding and salting than usual to keep the early morning road surfaces in driveable condition. Regner also noted the problem of road signs on township roads which he said were found to be missing. Ap­ parently, he added, there is a problem with people uprooting and stealing critical signs which must be replaced at considerable expense by his department. The public can aid in reducing this by reporting promptly any observed instances of people tampering with signs. Several years ago a number of youths in the Har­ vard area were convicted of removing stop signs which resulted in a car- truck collision in which three persons were killed. A HOB8Y IN WOOD (Continued from page 1) with a myriad of tools for the intricate work about to begin. Using hard woods, like black walnut or basswood, a sketch is made on the block. Then the rough shape of the duck-to-be is hewn on a handsaw. From there, a pocket knife that belonged to Wirtz's father completes most of the detailed work-- the car­ ving and the whittling. Many hours of "finger-sanding" are necessary before the sculpture is ready for finishing. Glass eyes are put in and acrylic paints bring the ducks to life. Wirtz uses various books and material from a taxidermist's supply house to get the true color scheme of the duck he is portraying. Some of the smaller ducks are made into tie-tacks and other wearable items. Others stand free and mahy are given as gifts. "Oh. I never sell them," Wirtz said. Yearbook Wins Award "Piecing It Together", the 1981-82 yearbook for McHenry high school, recently was awarded a third place for photography in statewide com­ petition. The award was given by the Eastern Illinois High School Press association run by Eastern Illinois university, which sponsors this yearbook contest annually. The MCHS yearbook is a joint production by both East and West campus students under the spon­ sorship of Ms. Lynn Schnelker, a member of the English department.

High Ranking Barbershop Chorus Seeks New Members The Chain O'Lakes chapter of Sweet Adelines has announced that in a recent competition they placed fifth out of 23 Lake Michigan region choruses. The 45-member barbershop chorus set the stage in white gowns and kelly green jackets to sing "If There'D Never Been An Ireland" and "Durante Medley". Director Joe Sullivan joined the chorus only 3 months ago and in that time brought them into the ranks of one of the top choruses in the region. Members say now is the time to join the Chain O'Lakes chapter. Bar­ bershop harmony they continue is for those who enjoy singing and can carry MICHAEL SMITH Michael "Mike" Smith of Wonder Lake died at home Wednesday, April 13. He was 79 years old, born in Chicago May 8, 1903. Among his survivors are his wife Olga (Schuster). In addition to her, he is survived by a granddaughter, Denise Guignon of Missouri. Mr. Smith was preceded in death by one son, Harry Roy Smith, April 28, 1972. * Burial will be in Windridge cemetery, Cary. Funeral services are pending at the Peter M. Justen & Son funeral home. Watering and Feeding Container Plants Careful attention to watering must be paid with container gardening, more so than with growing the same plants in the ground. The reason is that the media in a container dries out more quickly than the ground because of its limited size and lack of ground water< Water is often as necessary to keep the media moist, which may be as often as every day in the heat of summer. The frequency of watering demands frequent, light fertilization, as fer­ tilizers will leach quickly from the planting media. It's best to use a liquid fertilizer at one-quarter label strength every week. Antique Airplane Chapter Thrives This summer when people are enjoying their favorite air show, watching all of those beautiful antique airplanes flying by, they will probably wonder where they come from. The Hampshire chapter of the Antique Airplane association would like to tell them. The new chapter was formed several ytears ago and already has 65 active members and 90 antique- classic airplanes owned by members. At many of the meetings, forums are held in the restoration of old air­ planes. Monthly meetings are held at various airports throughout northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Many of the members have restored their own antique airplanes'and some are working on restoration projects. Some members just likKthe/history and heritage of the old antique air­ planes. It isn't necessary to be a pilot or own an airplane to join the chapter. One thing they all have in common is to "keep the antiques flying". Two Fly-Ins are held each year and a twelve-page, monthly newsletter is also published. Anyone interested in joining is welcome to attend, or for more in­ formation call or write Walt Kessler, The Hampshire Illinois chapter, Antique Airplane association, Kessler Field, Marengo, 111., 60152, (815) 568- 6618.

The fund drive, conducted by the McHenry Health­ care foundation, will benefit the new Northern Illinois Medical center (McHenry hospital) scheduled to open in September of 1984. The campaign is divided into three units, Family, Lead Gifts, and Major- Community. The Family Unit consists of physicians, board members, em­ ployees, and auxillians. To date, the Family unit has raised pledges amounting to $607,201.32. The Lead Gifts unit has pledges of $380,550 fend the Major-Community unit has $189,594.76 pledged. Phase I of the campaign has raised $1,177,346.08 in pledges. This is con­ sidered by the foundation to be truly a remarkable accomplishment for the many volunteer canvassers who have donated long hours to call on friends, neighbors, businesses, and industry to seek pledges to support the program. Phase II of the campaign is being planned and will kick off in the fall of 1983. Over $400,000 still needs to be raised in order to reach the $1,600,000 goal set for the campaign. Scott Seaborn, campaign coordinator, is confident that the campaign goal will be reached. "Those of us that have been active in this fund drive are extremely proud of the residents of the service area of the hospital. Considering all the factors forking against capital fund raisipg, this amount of money in such a ^hort period of time shows real dedication. The people who have seer- a need for the Northern Illinois Medical center, have helped to make it a reality." When Phase II gets under way this fall, the campaign leadership expects that this same dedication will con­ tinue. It is anticipated that the area communities will again show their support, and "Reach for "Tomorrow" by attaining and surpassing the $1,600,000 goal. CUTENERGY COSTS Energy costs are high, and experts warn that the end is not in sight. We can't control rising prices, but we can control our own budgets by practicing the conservation methods urged by utility companies....like lowering thermostats 5 degrees at night, laudering in warm or cold water, and by insulating to eliminate all air leaks, into and out of the house. Top-dollar savings require high- efficiency appliances. When replacing old appliances, shop for the best ef­ ficiency ratings. > Most of all, it's important to keep equipment in top-performance con­ dition, and for maximum economy to have the necessary maintenance tifiM) tools to do the work ourselves. Again for economy, consider only top quality,, lifetime products -wrenches, screwdrivers, files and saws, soldering tools, and metal snips. It's said that conserving energy is sometimes a "game of pennies" " but why pay a penny more when you can pay a penny less? JOHN F.
