SECTION 2 - PAGE 13 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 1«, 1M4 l a - I - nc iunc# Wonder Lake re-evaluates roadways for sealcoating By Karl Begalka Pliiadwler news service Iter Village of Wonder will probably sealcoat the roacb agam this summer-most of the roads, anyway. B^ard finance chairman Brian McLaughlin announced Tuefday night that the village will, pot spend $85,000 needed to give all six miles of interior roads a second sealcoat. Acorn Path was excluded from the bid because it has already been sealed twice. A second, tentative $22,000 bid was piade by last year's con- , tractor, Geske k Sons Asphalt Paving and Excavating Inc., of Crystal Lake. However, some roads will have to be eliminated in addition to Thompson, Wondermere and Acorn Path. Superintendent of Public WOKS Allan Zeman weighed traffic-volume, school bus routes Motorcyclist sought after accident Plalndealer news service -iiii - Warrants have been issued for the arrest of a motorcyclist who contributed to an accident in­ volving a City of McHenry squad car. 1 Off. Jeffeiy S. Foerster, of the McHenry Police Department, was in pursuit of a motorcyclist when his car crashed into an aluminum streetlight pole at the intersection of Main Street and Crystal Lake Road. Foerster told the investigator he lost control of the vehicle due to sand on the pavement. Damage to the squad car was estimated at more than $1,700. Cynthia L. Minton, 102 S. Vernon, McHenry, was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident after her car ran into the rear of a school bus in the 1200 block of Green Street last week. , Minton told police she did not brake hard enough to stop for M*wWcfc for t r a f f i c , I • No injuries were reported.

Barbershop singers set performance Headlining the 38th Annual Barbershop Show of the Elgin Chapter of Society for the Preservation and En­ couragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America is the Brotherhood Quartet from New York. Show time is 8:01 p.m.; Friday and Saturday May 1$ and 19 at Hemmens Auditorium, Elgin Civic Center. "We're Bringing some out­ standing quartet entertainment to this area to help us in our "Sentimental Journies" show where four-part barbershop harmony will be featured," says Don Rooney, general show Chairman of this year's production. The Elgin chapter was organised in 1946 and draws its membership from an area of approximately a 25-mile radius of Elgin. The minutemen, a 40 man chorus, will present good old songs such a Five Foot Two, Somebody Stole My Gal, Just in Case You Change Your Mind and of course the all time favorite Sentimental Journey. Alsofeatured on the show will be the Class Reunion, Land O'Lakes 1983-84 Champions from St. Paul, Minn, and the Valley Fourgers, 1978 Illinois District Champions who feature comedy, novelty and nostalgic and present road conditions and developed a construction proposal. It excludes Ridge Lane, Westwood Drive, Woodstock Street, Seneca Road, Nunda Road, Richmond Road, Marengo Lane, north Green­ wood Drive and southern por­ tions of Riley, Burton and Garrison roads. Roads excluded this summer, approximately one-third of the roads, will be done next year. This could provide .a bit of a "breather," village President Duane Zeman said, providing inflation does not raise costs further. She cautioned residents to avoid politics. "If we're going to sit back and play personalities and who lives where, we'll never get anything done," she said. - She pointed out there was a lack of bidding due to other road projects. "It's either we do it this way or we don't do anything at all," she said. "Had the sealcoat fund done better, we could have done all the roads." Village Treasurer Sue Stur- wold reported the village's road and bridge fund receives only $7 per year from . Greenwood Township and $4,776 back from the county per year from property taxes. In addition, 10 percent of building permit fees goes to the fund, $151 last year, according to village Clerk Linda Wollpert. "My bones will be dust by the time * I raise the money (required)," Zeman said. Nonetheless, $3,500 was given to the sealcoat fund. Village of­ ficials donated $726 to the fund, and McLaughlin has suggested trustees donate their future salaries to the fund. Despite these efforts, the money just isn't there, McLaughlin said. "I think there's serious doubts on whether we are going to be able to afford anything next year," he added, because of $45,000 in loans to be paid off. Of that, $40,000 VUM used to sealcoat last year, ana $5,000 was for a used truck. As it is, the $22,000 ex­ penditure win dip into the cash reserves. The 1985-86 tentative budget includes $73,560 in ex­ penditures, including the $22,000 for sealcoating. In 1983-84 the village spent $68,800, excluding loans. That leaves a balance of about $5,000 which must come from the $38,000 carried over from 1983-84, McLaughlin said. * He acknowledged that a half- ; year's budget would be a~: "reasonable reserve." Zeman pointed out that the village would have to do its own sweeping and patching under the $22,000 bid. But the cost is expected to be far less because the village owns its own truck and the roads are in better shape. Last year the village used 140 tons of patch, including Thompson and Wondermere roads. A1 Zeman estimates about 12 tons will be used this spring. are sold oh a reserved basis and are available from ticket chairman Marv Jedicker, 218 Gladys, Fox River Grove, HL 60021 or from the following lllii e Mb IP n ifii K 2 *31 <r 3 « d 2 3 S S • i i ® ; » I J • 2 ° 8 O 5 3 J S ' a I if u of (ft 0 o js 1 o ̂ S O S ' s r s i
