It id owned by E.W. Bates of Woodstock. The county had the acre appraised by two appraisal firms. One firm appraised the land at $68,375 ana the other at $49,500, both including ad­ justments of the unusable right-of- way portion. The owner agreed to sell the property at the low adjusted appraisal price of $49,500 plus $1,860 for an unpaid special assessment. The added land will be used for much-needed storage space for high­ way department equipment. In other business, the board was informed that non-computerization of the animal control center was costing the county an estimated $20,000 an­ nually in lost revenues. The need for a computer system in the health department has been, stressed in recent years and the board has been seeking a suitable system which also would be shared by the offices of the auditor, county clerk and treasurer. Because of the annual loss of dog license revenues, the finance com­ mittee recommended the purchase of a computer for the health department, at an approximate cost of $30,000, which possibly would be compatible with a future system for other county operations. The board authorized the health department to develop specifications for a computer to meet its needs and to secure bids with the aim of pur­ chasing a system. Board member George Lowe, the county's one-man computer com­ mittee, objected to the individual purchase. Lowe asked that two more members be placed on the computer committee and that a system suitable for needs of health, auditor, treasurer and the county clerk's offices be decided upon. It Was the consensus of the board thhat a computer for the health department would pay for itself with the added revenues from dog licenses. Ordinances adopted Tuesday by the board included one for a non-exclusive cable television franchise and another on the prevailing wage act for con­ struction workers on state public works projects. LANDFILL PLANS DOMINATE AAEETINGS (Continued from page 1) commercial, municipal and general refuse. Special wastes will be received only with the express agreement of the McHenry County 3ealth department^ and othej ap-tapriate a\ wastes will be aWroted!" Roberts stressed. He explained that special wastes would be septage sludge and the like. Waste Management anticipates the.'j life of the proposed landfill would be about 25 years. Roberts said the area to be served by the landfill would be all of McHenry eourity. "Approximately 80 to 90percent of all waste generated in McHenry county, some 147,000 tons per year, now is disposed of outside , the county." • "We estimate that only about 10 percent of the wastes received would be from outside the county," he said. Roberts said wastes would not be entirely from McHenry county because some outside wastes would be brought in by haulers who "flip-flop" over the lines on collection routes. He said approximately 1,100 cubic yards would be brought to the site daily. This would mean an average of about 50 truckloads per day. Roberts admitted the company had made some past mistakes, "but, I'm very proud of the company. Contrary to published statements, our com­ pany's track record is excellent." He said it was understandable that "people don't want a landfill nearby and feel there is no need. "We don't mind opposition, but we want the issues addressed on a straightforward basis with no rumors," he said. According to Roberts, Waste Management is "sincere, concerned and eager the people understand what our intentions are and what we want to do." He requested that Waste Management be invited back to speak with the MCIA membership after the official application for a landfill is filed. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from pago *) Of course, there have been a few with tops that have been flat for years, not in the interest of style but ordained by mother nature. The return to short styles, even by a few kids, may be considered an en­ couraging sign by some who feel the world has gone cockeyed. The number of kids roller skating on the street hasn't given much hope that this popular pastime of another generation is having a comeback. And even less evident is any sign of the hula hoop (remember the craze of some 20 years ago?) or back yard croquet sets. As for telltale hopscotch markings on the sidewalk, theSe seem to be relegated to the distant past, never to return. But one of the most encouraging signs, along with the argyles and crew cuts, is word from the motor city that convertibles are making a comeback. Most of those who drooled over the prospect of becoming an owner of one of these fashionable cruisers 40 years wouldn't consider putting up a " " itjUOLtp „ &™719 is going to make it in 1983. It gives some importance to the period four " decades ago which was our heyday. Convertibles were rather generally conceded to be acquisitions by those with more money than sense, par­ ticularly in the colder climes. But they were great for the young fellow looking for a girl. After the conquest, when he had a wife and kids, the more conservative, maturing male would trade in the buggy on something more fitting for his responsibility to transport larger numbers in comfort. But no one can write off the im­ practical qualities of convertibles. They were, for their time, status symbols and there probably wasn't a teen who didn't dream of one day having enough money for a down payment. The impetus often promp­ ted the young man to get a part-time job. For all their impracticality, there was much to be said for the discipline a desire of ownership instilled in the young. And if he spent extra hours on a job he didn't have time to picket or demonstrate, or whatever it was that made kids feel they were saving the world a few decades ago. We wouldn't want to go back to ice boxes, electric office fans, or narrow- aisle grocery stores without a lot of help on the shelves in the way of preparing dinner. But we do enjoy knowing that not all of the things that made living pleasant 40 years ago are to be discarded. Convertibles, make your entrance! KAF Former Village Head Found Dead In Home A former president of the Village of Sunnyside, William Mitchell, 52, was found dead Tuesday afternoon in the garage of the residence at 1720 Church street, McHenry. McHenry County Chief Deputy Coroner Marlene Lantz said no foul play was suspected and an autopsy had been performed. The official determination as to Cause of death will be made at a Coroner's inquest, a date for which has not been set at this time. The death was discovered at about 2:05 p.m. June 21.

Burns, 21, with unlawful possession of a controlled substance earlier this week. Burns was served with the warrant as he was being released from Stateville penitentiary, Joliet. The charge stemmed from a traffic incident on Sept. 30,1982, where Burns was found in possession of a controlled substance. Other McHenry police arrests this week include: Blanche N. MacNeal, 48, 3939 Main street, McHenry, for theft under $300 following an alleged shoplifting in­ cident at Osco Drugs. Gary P.

Recognized At Boys State two young MCHS students who attended Boys State last week arrived home with honors for leadership roles in government. West campus seniors, Jeff Bjorn and Mike Freund, attended the Premier Boys' State at Eastern Illinois university in Charleston. Both ) .... Marian Names New Principal Thomas E. Landers has been named principal of Marian Central Catholic high school by the Marian Council of Administration. Landers, 35, has been assistant principal for student and school ac­ tivities for two years. His respon­ sibilities included buildings and grounds, student activities, at­ tendance and disciplinary matters, liaison to athletic functions and public relations. Landers said his primary objective as principal will be to promote a positive image. "I think we have to put this place in order," he said. "It's easier to sell if you have a nice looking product." Landers believes the public still is recuperating from the controversy surrounding the ouster of Principal Tom Parsley and Dean of Students Lou Hartlieb in July of 1981. Sister Ann Rena Shiitkey served as principal for two years before she decided not to renew her contract in February, ef­ fective June 30. The need to project a positive image is crucial, Landers acknowledged. Enrollment has dropped by about 150 students since 1981-82, and is expected to decline even further. Fewer students plus higher energy and staff expenses (5 percent increase in salary), prompted the board to raise the base tuition by $100 in 1983-84. Families with one student from one of the 16 participating? parishes in McHenry county will pay $1,150 next year in tuition. The cost for other children is $1,500 per year. If a family has a second child attending Marian, the 25 percent reduction will remain in effect ; 50 percent for a third child and free to a fourth. Marian is working a $930,000 budget, up from $915,000 this past academic year. About $75,000 of that will be used to repair buildings and grounds. New flooring already is bein&puton the IliM^liPiipyBleachers repainted and the pafkfng lot blacktopped. Before coming to Marian, Landers was principal for two years at Holy Family school, Rockford. For eight years prior to thjt, he taught business education and coached at Boylan high school in Rockford. ' The Rev. William I. Joffe, council president, said Landers was given a one-year contract. "I see a nucleus here of some very committed Catholic families," Landers said. He is convinced that Marian's "value-centered" education and a new emphasis on com- municiation will draw new students. He added that a new position will be developed to deal with public relations and recruitment; however, he could not say when that post and his old job will be filled. young men were selected by the high school faculty based on their leadership, scholarship, and character. The McHenry Rotary and American Legion Post sponsored the students at the week long affair. Representatives from all high schools across the state gathered to learn about the governmental process through role playing. The 934 boys attending were divided into two political parties, 32 cities, and eight counties. Within each city there were four wards. Bjorn ran for governor on the Federalist party ticket. He was one of 11 young men on the ballot. He was selected "model citizen" for his city and county and placed third in the state as "model citizen." Freund won election to treasurer of his city. He also was a member of the sixty-five piece Boys' State band which practiced three hours a day and played at reveille each morning as well as a concert each evening. Each evening of the week at a general assembly, a different state government official spoke: Secretary of State James Edgar, Attorney General Neil Hartigan, Comptroller Roland Burris, Lieutenant Governor George Ryan, and Governor James' Thompson. Bjorn said of the gathering, "It helped me learn more about govern­ ment and its operation." Freund, in commenting on the event related that, "I made a lot of friends that I probably will never see again, but the spirit of this event will remain." Make Arrest H t For Indecency Charges of public indecency and resisting arrest were brought against * Michael Novak, 1507 Cedar, Holiday Hills, after his arrest Wednesday evening along River road. At about 5 p.m. Wednesday, two young women called the McHenry County'Sheriffs police from the area of Route 120 and River road to report that a man had exposed himself in their presence. The man then followed the two women for a short distance north on River road. A description of the man was (rib- lined and he was located nearing by Dep.
