Wonder.Lake residents oppose zoning SECTION 1. Page IS - PLAINDEALER HERALD, WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 24. l?»f INiwiSinici About 40 Wonder Lake area resents have voiced opposition . to afaptition for a zoning change to permit operation of a residential school and treatment facility for maladjusted adolescents and young adutts in Greenwood Township. The McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals must decide whether to grant a conditional use permit for the land, located at 3116 Thompson Road. The land is zoned "R-l" (single- family residential). Forest Hospital Inc. is seeking the conditional use permit to operate a facility called The Willows. Dr. Candice Chorjel, executive director of The Willows, testified that the school would house 20 to 25 residents. She said another 15 to 20 students would be bused to the facility each day. Chorjel said no new Ixdldings would be needed because there are four houses already on the property. Two would be used to house residents, afid one would serve as a school. Wonder Lake residents ex­ pressed concern about security at the facility. Chorjel stressed that the students would be non­ violent, depressed or malad­ justed children and youths, ages 11 to 21, who would have to go through an extensive screening program before being admitted to Hie Willows. Funding for the program, Chorjel said, would come from a set rate from the Governor's Purchase Care program and local school boards. "State figures show that it costs about $4,500 per student per year for local school districts, so that'̂ how we arrived at that figure," Chorjel said. Linda Wollpert of Wonder Lake objected to the plan, saying that her figures showed that it cost $660 per student annually in McHenry County. "In order to receive the conditional use permit, you must show that it won't put a financial burden on the com­ munity, but I see a difference of $3,000 you will be asking us for," Wolpert said. Chorjel replied that hfer figures reflect a statewide average and not exact local figures. A1 Collins of Wonder Lake said he was concerned that the facility would adversely affect property values in the area. "We have heard no testimony from any real estate experts as. to what affects the facility will have on our property," Collins said. Dennis Smith, executive director of the McHenry County Mental Health Board, testified in favor of the facility, saying the service is badly needed in the county^ "I've looked at the Chorjels' plan, and they have been willing to revise the program to meet the needs of McHenry County. They have said that they will give first preference to county' residents so our county will Baker to seek presidency in 1988 By United Press International WASHINGTON - Senate Republican leader Howard Baker, retiring after 18 years in Con­ gress, has a personal "commit­ ment" to seek the presidency in 1988 and will spend most of the next four years pursuing that goal. . "I would like to run for presi­ dent," Baker said in an interview. "That's my commitment -- but it's not to run under any and every circumstance." The 59-year-old Tennessefcn said he believes he has a "natural con­ stituency" that reaches all segments of the party and, "My ambition now, as a politician, is to be a mainstream Republican." Baker outlined his plans during an interview last week with several reporters as Congress neared adjournment. Baker, who has been majority leader for the past four years and has led the Senate GOP for eight years, slouched in an easy chair, his answers direct and, at times, punctuated with humor. Among the points Baker made; , --He has not been bftored and does not anticipate an offer of a post in a second Reagan ad- mininistration but would have to "think about it" if asked to serve as secretary of state. --There is no plan for him to serve as a special envoy for Presi­ dent Reagan to the Soviet Union. --He sees a' need for some changes in the Senate rules to ex­ pedite legislation and called the invention of the filibuster after a cloture vote to limit debate "the worst thing that has happened in the Senate since I've been here." --Called President Reagan "far and away the easiest president I have dealt with" and said his track record with Congress is superior to "any president since Lyndon Johnson." --Said his major dissapoint- ment was giving up on the Clinch River Breeder Reactor program -- "I think we made a big mistake." --Considers the major achieve­ ment that "the place works and has over the past four years ... we have been able to exert leader­ ship." i Baker said he made his decision not to seek a fourth term after the 1978 election and, "I have not had one single pang of regret, not one." He said he decided to leave the Senate "because 18 years is long enough" and not because he is go­ ing after the 1988 Republican presidential nomination. But he said running for presi­ dent is such a "long-term and fulltime job" that it has become difficult to seek the White House while holding public office. Baker will fellow a route similar to those that allowed Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and Walter Mondale to win their par­ ty's presidential nominations. All held positions that provided ample income and time for them to make the run for the presidency. Baker acknowledged he will lose the "visibility" he now enjoys but said with the freedom from of­ fice "you also lose the tether," which has tied him to the issues at hand. He was asked whether his presidential campaign would be hindered by the lack of a consti­ tuency in the Republican party where conservatives do not quite like him and the moderate and liberal wing has shrunk drastical­ ly. "I think I have a natural consti­ tuency in the whole party," Baker said. "I've tried very hard to be of service in the Senate to the right and to the left. My ambition, now, as a politician, is to be a mainstream Republican." r i \ FREE TANNING SESSION» WITH HAIRCUT AND STYLE (OFFER VALID WITH COUPON ONLY THRU 11°7°84j RIVERSIDE HAIRSTYLING STUDIO W.

Smith said the mental health board tried to finance a «im% prm about six years ago but ran out of funds. "We don't have the funds to funds going to provide this service, I'm encouraged," Smith said. Patricia MacAlister, ad- minstrator for Lowettod, a' similar facility in Elgin for youth with alcohol and drug abuse problems, testified that her facility is located in a residential area in Elgin and has not had any trouble with the community. "When we petitioned for a conditional use permit, we got the same reaction from the community, but now the neigh­ bors are glad we are a part of the community," MacAlister said. "When we went back to get a permit to start a detoxification unit, the community came out to support us." The zoning board will make its recommendation to the full county board, which will make the final decision. . u THE BAKEREE 314 W.Liberty St. Wauconda, IL (312)526-2020 Oo STOP BY & VIEW , the county, so when I see private I OUR HALLOWEEN DISPLAY! -COOKIES •CUPCAKES •PUMPKIN PIES Delightfully Decorated "n.
