PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY a. 1H3 CITY COUNCIL BACKS INDUSTRY EXPANSION (Continued from pag* 1) operation was a clean one which did not impact substantially on the sewer and water system, nor did it generate any harmful pollutants or wastes. City Attorney Bernard Narusis said the appearance Monday night was designed to ask whether the council was comfortable with the request and, if so, to give Miesen the go-ahead to meet bond requirements. At a later date, the council would be asked to pass a resolution and memorandum of intent. After other work was com­ pleted, all the action would culminate in the bond issue. Narusis reassured the council that no taxpayers' money would be in­ volved. He commented that the person seeking the bonds would reimburse the city for the attorney's time and the bond purchaser can only look to the company revenues for payment of the bonds. Miesen told the council the bonds, in essence, were already sold as he and another stockholder were the primary purchasers. A motion to enter into the agreement passed unanimously. Aldermen Nolan and Busse were absent. LANDFILL PROBLEMS HEARD (Continued from pag* 1) , According to Clark, the disposal firm came back with a petition to expand 50-feet vertically on their portion of the property. IEPA granted this request, and Antioch went to court the next day. - In court, a temporary injunction was issued which prevented the vertical expansion. The village argued that Waste Management, Inc., had not followed the statute by not holding a public hearing. Clark argued that because this was an expansion request, Waste Management, Inc., should have to go to the local governmental agency for the permit. The attorney said the court was "close to buying their argument." Clark said, "So far, we have been successful." The horizontal expansion request is in the Appellate Court and the vertical expansion injunction hearing has been continued to Sept. 12. Clark said that ideally the landfill should be owned and operated by county government which, theoretically, would not be profit oriented. "If you're going to fight, don't be faint-of-heart," Clark advised. "It's a long tough road." In McHenry County, the landfill question is still in the proposal stage. No petition has been filed with the county board. WEEKEND EVENTS OPEN FIESTA DAYS (Continued from page 1> *> the day.

LAKEMOOR BOARD OPTS TO ANNEX (Continued from page 1) paid immediately and $12,500 on an acreage basis at $50 per acre (total of 250 acres) as the land is developed. A personal guarantee by Krflich was presented for the annexation fee. The village will have 20 days to act upon permits for commercial or residential buildings. Permits may be issued on foundation plans. The trustees voted unanimously to accept the park deed and also authorized action to accept the lease back agreement. In related business. President Richard Hyatt read a letter from Supt. Richard Farmer of McHenry elementary school District 15. Far­ mer recommended that, since all students from Lakemoor presently attend District 15 schools and also high school District 156 schools, an effort should be made to include all Sullivan Lake development students in these two districts. Presently, the annexed area is Calling Colleen Dear Colleen: How long should one be forgiving and understand* ing after it becomes perfect­ ly clear they are being used? I don't want to lose a good friend, but I have about had it with this "good friend." We've been doing things to­ gether since we were in grade school. We always double- dated. We spent so much time together they called us "the twins." The change be­ gan early last September at college. We weren't able to room together, but for a time that made no difference. Then, I began to see less of her. We'd make plans to do something and she would call to say she had to study. Someone would teU me the next day they saw her out on a date. After this happened several times, I realized that she would make plans to do something with me, then flake out if something better came along. Am I wrong for being upset and mad? >«. a 1 Dear Ann: You need to realize that times and situations change. The friendships of our youth are not encumbered by res­ ponsibilities. But, we grow older and we find that we do have certain responsibilities that must be met. As we ap­ proach adulthood, our priori­ ties begin to change. You may or may not be over-sensitive, but you expect too much if you think things will remain forever the same.

A second letter to the developer, from Supt. Robert Swartzloff, in­ dicated that McHenry high school District 156 could not recommend adding Sullivan lake students to its district without first conducting a demographic study. Other districts involved include Wauconda District 118* Big Hollow District 38 and Grant Township Unit District 124. In other action, the board voted to change building and zoning or­ dinances to allow 960 sq. ft. Hying area homes (not including utility made or garages) and 50 ft. by 100 ft. lot sizes. Previous ordinances required a minimum of 1,200 sq. ft. homes on a minimum 75 ft. by 100 ft. lots. President Hyatt also asked for and received approval to employ a new village police officer. Steven Young, formerly of the Wonder Lake Police department, will be employed on a trial basis with permanent status after 90 days. Several other ordinances related to the development will be acted on at the July 28 board meeting, according to Hyatt. Valley-Hi Levy Okayed By County By Angela Burden Shaw Media News Service An added levy will be included on tax bills for the next two years for construction at Valley Hi nursing paying the bills. We i iC Building com- the county a 50-bed -run ad- people instead of politics," said Ronald Morris of Harvard. "I fully support the addition to Valley Hi ... 101 percent, but you're dreaming if you think we can only levy for two years. A two-year levy at two cents would only guarantee about $600,000 and no way could we sell bonds with a guarantee like that," said Ed Buss of McHenry. "We have to guarantee where the $1.8 million is craning from," he added. Ann Hughes of Woodstock said she did not think it was the role of the "It's the role of the mission," she said. Jfflanafor nursing home, dition and remodeling of the existing 90-bed facility. "We'll probably have to phase-out between 13 and 20 beds with the remodeling," said Valley Hi Ad­ ministrator Bill Minefield. He was to meet Wednesday with Health Systems agency officials in Springfield to finalize paperwork in regard to a certificate of need. Procedures for the proposed ad­ dition have been running smoothly since former State's Attorney William Cowlin emphasized to the county board in an April presentation the need for additional beds at Valley Hi. In May, the board authorized "start-up" costs for the project, ap­ proving funds of $45,000 for necessary paperwork, and at the June board meeting, the firm of Bradley and Bradley of Rockford was approved as architects for the $1.8 million ad­ dition. The McHenry County board ap­ proved the levy Tuesday after adopting a resolution authorizing the Public Building commission to issue revenue bonds for $1.8 million to provide for an addition and renovation of the home. The levy would help finance the bonds for the first two years until state-boosted revenues from the facility would start to provide funds for retirement of the bonds. Several board members objected to the levy, even though they em­ phasized they were in favor of the construction. "We'll be committed to the bonds for 15 years. The taxpayers are sshouldthf I think of the Steering through a new addition ̂ not new to MorefieKL He became, administrator at Valley Hi in the late 1960s when the cowity board ap- proved, in 1969, the enlargement of the old nursing home. The 47-bed addition was started in 1970 and completed within a year. •„ v. In other business, Board Chairman Clint Claypool called the board "a reactionary body ... not a body of action" after the board had spent considerable time in what he called "nit-picking." Claypool said committee chairmen "should act on issues at the com­ mittee level" and flot "nit-pick" at the board meeting. His remarks came after recom­ mendations from two committees on authorization for expenditure of $5,000 toward a feasibility study of a publicly-owned airport in the county. The board approved the recom­ mendation. However, there was some quibbling over which fund the $5,000 would come from. Claypool noted that no discussion on this issue was raised at the recent committee chairmen's meeting, when the proposal of a feasibility study was The zoning and planning committee also withdrew its airport feasibility study recommendation in favor of the same recommendation from the county's Economic Development cCommittee. Dean Cunat of the planning and economic committees, who has been instrumental in bringing , the feasibility study to the board, suggested the study funding be budgeted from unexpended study funds in an amount not to exceed $5,000. At this point, Morris, of the county's transportation committee, said the funding for the study should come through the transportation budget because that committee would have jurisdiction on airports. The board, after much discussion, approved the study and agreed the funding come from the transportation budget. Cunat told the EDC last week that the* state's Division of Aeronautics and Federal Aviation authorities have indicated they are willing to conduct a countywide airport feasibility study and site location survey if the county would pay five percent toward the cost of the study. Cunat said the state of Illinois would match the county's five percent and the federal government would pay the other 90 percent of an estimated $80,000 feasibility study. > The board took no action on a suggestion by Cal Skinner of Crystal Lake, who proposed the county should consider establishing and controlling its own waste disposal system. Hughes said a county waste management study including sudh a proposition had been under way when the county board "put the study on the back burner" during budget hearings. A.B. McConnell of Woodstock said the county owns land across from Valley Hi in Hartland and a landfill and incinerator coiild be operated in that area. . "Power from the in­ cinerator could help heat the nursing home," he said. Discussion was ended with no further action on the landfill issue. The board recognized county Supt. of Schools Ed Hall, who will be retiring from that position Aug. 1. Hall was cited for "faithful and dedicated service" to the county during his tenure, which began in 1975 and for the many years he served as assistant superintendent.
