Housing authority ends agreement By Kirk Birginal Shaw Free Press News Media The McHenry County Housing Authority recently ended a management agreement with the absentee owners of a housing project that reportedly "reeked of mildew" and had "worm-like bugs" on the floor. The executive director of the housing authority, Nancy Briscoe, said that as of the end of February, the county would no longer manage the privately owned Hebron Meadows Apartments senior citizens housing complex in Hebron. A mutual agreement between county authorities and the owner, Richard Likas of Sheboygan, Wis., was reached to terminate a contract between them and the Farmers Home Administration to provide ipiainifiiai Tounstjuare Plows. Iw management services, Briscoe said. She said the arrangement had ended up costing the county about $2,000 in utility and other costs associated with main­ taining the project since the agreement took effect last September. A member of the housing authority board, Crystal Lake resident Marge Van Breda, said the county began efforts to back out of the contract after touring the project last fall. LAKE VOLUNTEERS The Illinois EPA is again seeking local volunteers in a sampling program to help determine the quality of selected lakes. Almost any lake of six acres or more may be eligible. Interested persons should contact offices in their areas. rqiiiiiaiiinij icwcf ofk/istoanqe/ts F I V E C O M E D E S b y R e n e e T a y l o r a n d J o s e p h B o l o g n a an • f? nn n n/ps R-.nn, The monthy meeting of the Lilymoor Association was held at the McHenry Nunda Library Monday, March 5. there are several openings for officers in this organization which helps to improve conditions in Lilymoor. Every area needs the combined effort of the residents in order to maintain standards desired by the majority. The snow plowing, road repair, keeping the area clear of debris and brush, and trying to find solutions to other problems are all reasons for the association's existence. •IJK' Margaret Karas 385-4934 Dues, which are a major portion of funding, are being accepted by treasurer Marion Vornkahl. The next meeting will be on the first Monday in April, again at the McHenry Nunda Library, where there is plenty of parking space. Anyone needing a ride should call 385-7276. LOSS A familiar figure in Lilymoor for almost 40 years will no longer be seen walking along Route 120 or tending his garden and lovely flowers. Arthur Maass, an articulate emigre to our land from Germany, died in the McHenry Hospital Feb. 28, missing hit eighty-seventh birthday by two weeks. He was always concerned with the improvement of our area, and kept his property next to the Longhorn Restaurant neat and attractive. Sympathy is extended to his widow Elizabeth. SCHOOL HONORS First grader Heidi Kunz was the recipient of an award for spelling excellence, one of the two given in her class. Heidi has been enjoying books from the McHenry Nunda Library since she was old enough to hold one, and is now reading at the third grade level. She is following in her brother Michael's footsteps. Robert Gurske, eighth grade student at Montini, participated in the spelling bee using the Chicago Tribune word list, held Feb. 17. Listed on Parkland's honor roll were Rob Huffman, Vanessa Urban, Sheryl Mayhew, Darlene VanCleave, Ron Bonesz and Heather O'Neil. Suzanne Wipper, formerly of our area, is now back at East Campus after spending her first semester of her last year, in Springfield as a student representative in the Illinois Government Internship Program, sponsored by the State Board of Education. This exposure will undoubtedly open doors to an interesting future for our Suzy, perhaps in a political position for the improvement of our school systems. Welcome back! Terri Gorski of Lakemoor made the President's List at DeVry Institute of Lombard with a .371 grade average for her first semester. Terri is com­ muting, so much time is spent driving.

FAREWELL Cathy and Bill Goodwin of Lilymoor sold their home and were out of it all in a two-week span. This must be a record for a rapid real estate transaction. The Goodwins have not moved too far, just to Fox Ridge in McHenry, so neighbors can still keep in touch. Cathy was president of the Lilymoor Association for the past two years and her leadership ability will be missed. But some of her artistic talent is still displayed on the lettering on the road signs in Lilymoor. We say farewell to the Goodwins, and a hello to the couple who are busily redoing the house on N. Boulevard, in anticipation of moving in April . 1, after their wedding.
