He is well known and respected throughout the state and is sought out by state officials and professionals in other agencies for his advice and counsel." Flabbergasted by the recognition and the presentation of a plaque marking 15 years of service, Lam­ bourn, said, "I'm seldom at a loss for words, but you've surprised me. I am deeply appreciative of this recognition. With your help, our 25th anniversary next year will indeed be a memorable celebration. We have a proud history and a brighter future." Bobbie Wiltse, director of development, presented recognition awards. Doug Crane, plant manager- contract procurement, and Mary Colby, day services secretary, were recognized for 10 years of service. Five-year employees honored were Pat Phalen, work adjustment trainer; Marcia Voska, activities supervisor; and Bonnie Flemming, bus driver. Mrs. Wiltse praised the contribution residents; Kathy Maradeo, secretarial work; and Rev. Kenneth Ahlstrand and Marguerite Bauman, who provide transportation for community living facility residents* Discussing the difficulty in taining needed local, state ano national funding, Mrs. Wiltse said the harsh reality of that difficulty "provides us with the greatest op­ portunity for local involvement we have encountered. Pioneer center has a strong tradition of personal commitment. Its multitude of programs and services attest to that commitment." VOTE ENDS TERMS OF FOUR JUDGES (Continuod from pa go 1) media in connection with the vote. He said the four associate judges simply failed to be reappointed. Justice Henry L. Cowlin com­ mented that there had been criticisms some time ago, but like Brody, did not know how the other eight justices voted. " Brody explained that the nine justices of the 19th Circuit cast the ballots. Actually, there are 10 justices Robert Lambourn, executive director for Pioneer center (right), was honored at the annual meeting last week with a plaque to mark his 15 years of service as head of the agency that serves the county's developmentally disabled. Bruce Smith, who made the presentation, asserted the McHenry County Association for the Retarded "is one of the best managed agencies in the United States and Lambourn is called on by state officials for his advice and counsel." (Don Peasley Photography) but <me, John Kaufman, of Lake county, is on disability leave and did not vote. The appointment of new associate justices will also be made by secret ballot, Cowlin said, and he hoped that at least two would come from McHenry county. "There's kind of a gentlemen's' agreement that we should keep our own judges," CowKii m!u. "I £0 anyway. They've (Lake county) got 17 associates and we've got four. You wouldn't believe the caseload. Our four are doing nearly the same amount of work." MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continuod from pogo 1) friend had been jarred from her repose the same evening with a call asking questions about insurance and taxes. When the questions were an­ swered the caller asked her to spell her name and address, which promptly brought her receiver to the hook. Surveys and polls must have a place in the scheme of life this year of 1983, but remembering their success in recent elections one would think the folks in charge might hide in em­ barrassment. Polls, more often than not, bring answers that are interpreted the way the folks in charge want them to be. Consider one taken recently which- showed that 80 percent of all Americans support clean air. What a startling revelation! Don't you wonder who comprised the oddball 20 percent who liked dirty air and didn't want to breathe anything they couldn't see? The question was inaccurately phrased. If it had asked what people wanted the government to do about clean air, how much of their tax money they wanted to spend, or whether they were prepared to make a tradeoff between perfectly clean air and a certain number of foregone jobs, it would have made sense. Now we're watching the same phenomenon over the nuclear freeze. Politicians in favor are making a big deal over the vast majority of Americans who, polls show, are concerned about nuclear weapons and don't want a nuclear war. That isn't particularly surprising; you'd have to be nuts not to be con­ cerned about nuclear weapons and anybody looking forward to a nuclear war should find medical help - and in a hurry. But what is surprising are the conclusions some are drawing from the polls in their attempts to convert into feelings that cause. normal f< promote t Polls must have their (dace in today's world, but we're getting a lot of misleading vibrations from the way they're presented v.; > Investigate Minor Crashes KAF HOLIDAY HILLS BIDS FOR ILLINOIS "HOME TOWN" AWARD v *"~7 was accomplished, and if and hoy the town is continuing its efforts. DCCA will host a Community Betterment conference May 18 and 19 in Springfield. This year's winners will be announced at the Governor's Home Town Awards banquet the second evening. "Community enrichment is-y a fundamental part of the economic development of Illinois, and we owe a debt of gratitude to all the self-help groups across the state who volunteer their time, labor and ideas to making their community and Illinois a better place to live", Fox concluded. Girls Home After Friday Search SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE About 100 people were involved in a search Friday night for two 13-year- old girls missing from home. McHenry County Sheriffs police and volunteers from the county Emergency Service,-and Disaster agency responded about 11 p.m. to a Johns burg Rescue squad request to help in the search. A Johnsburg rescue member recalled observing the girls late af­ ternoon on horseback, according to ESDA Director John Shay. The horse tracks were followed and the trail led to the horses being found tied to a tree in Twin Lakes, Wis. Further investigation by sheriffs and Twin Lakes police resulted in discovering the juveniles, who were turned over to their parents, Shay said. In addition to sheriff's police and Johnsburg rescue members, the county posse and auxiliary police helped in the search, with assistance from the McHenry Area Rescue squad and Spring Grove and McHenry fire crews, according to Shay.
