The University Medical Center in Maywood. Quads borii to McHenry couple By Phil English Plalndealer-Herald New« Service " McHenry residents Laura and Daniel Koleno came up on the long side of parenthood Monday morn­ ing at Loyola University in Maywood, by giving birth to ladruplets. The Koleno's had learned of the multiple pregnancy two months into the term, and after an eight- month period of family questions, whether the children would be healthy or what financial burdens lay ahead, the Koleno's added Jacquelyn (5 pounds), Joshua(4 pounds, 15Vfe ounces), Holly (5pounds, 5'/2 ounces), and Robert (4 pounds, 15% ounces) to the new list of family. Mother and children are reportedly doing fine. Doctors at Loyola have estimated that the possibility of having quadruplets is" one in 700,000, and that normal quad delivery would result in a birth of up to two months premature. But the relatives, doctors ar^ staff members at Loyola, wVcjj also added the birth to its-Lr- firsts, all shared in the excitement of the delivery. "I don't think you could wipe the smile off anyone's face in any way. Everybody h^re is happy," delivery room director-Dr. Paul Tomich said' "We all share in the happiness and excitement tef it all." "Things went very well in terms of the delivery for each of the children," Tomich continued. "She didn't have excessive bleeding, arnfno complications." Because of a strong risk of premature labor, Laura Koleno, 25, was admitted for observations on Oct. 29. Doctors kept watch over her for two months, ad­ ministering sedatives to relax the uterus. At the conclusion of her 39- week term, which doctors believe Jto be the longest quadruplet term pregnancy reported, Laura first gave birth by Ceasearean section at 10:13 a.m., and then at every 30- second interval. But the events leading to the family addition surprised even the doctors at the medical center. After five years of marriage and unsuccessful attempts at pregnan­ cy, the Koleno's sought the help of Dr. Reena Jabamoni, a fertility expert at Loyola, to analyze the problem. Laura was diagnosed as ovulating at irregular intervals,- and was given the drug Perganol to induce consistent ovulation. But the drug also has been known to increase the occurance of multiple births. "Everyone was aware that, as VI yestertJay, if she didn't deliver by tod&y, we'd just go ahead with the procedure," Tomich said. "Everybody had a protocol set up that we would put into effect, so that we could electively do it to­ day, instead of on Christmas day at five in the morning. "It is a unique in that it is a totally happy outcome from something that you weren't so sure you would ever get this far," birth assistant Dr. Roberta Karlmansaid. The outcome, from the doctors point of view was unique in that the birth COP! J be a planned event. L a u r a ' \ d c a r r i e d t h e quadruDieis to the extent of her term, a very rare occurance, and the doctors had elected to operate. The operation required the use of one pediatrician and two nurses per baby, plus an additional four doctors--altogether, 20 staff members. Laura is a native of Chicago and is the oldest of three children. Dan, a native of McHenry, is used to big families, being the 10th of 11 children. The Kolenos are members of the R e s u r r e c t i o n P a r i s h i n Woodstock, which has set up a "Babies Fund" at the First Na­ tional Bank of Woodstock to defray the cost of medical ex­ penses. By Anthony Oliver Plaind eater-Herald rtatf writer One man's attempt to place a small auto business on S. Route 31 was killed by a 5-3 vote of the McHenry City Council Monday night. T h e p e t i t i o n e r , M i c h a e l Mathews, sought zoning to allow a small used car sales and repair shop on Front Street, near the en­ trance to Knox Park and adjacent to the existing auto sales business operated by Thomas Adams. The matter was tabled from the last council meeting, when the council voted to grant zoning to Adams. The Adams business was built prior to city annexation and the zoning approval put the right zoning with the right use. The council balked at granting zoning for Mathews, who wants to build a new facility geared to later model used cars. Mathews said Monday night the property would be landscaped, blacktopped, with an inside showroom and no cars would be displayed outside. Objectors who appeared at Mon­ day's meeting also appeared at the earlier zoning hearing. Richard Golbeck said they were opposed to any type of used car business and added that none of the stipulations were enforceable by the city. "Petitioners promise anything and then do as they please," Golbeck said. Exaggerating zoning hearing testimony, Golbeck said the peti­ tioner would have 30 to 35 cars on the lot. At the hearing,* Mathews said no mor^ than 15 to 20 cars would be on the lot at any one time. , The zoning board made no recommendation in this matter because a 4-2 vote there failed to bring the required five votes for a recommendation. Aid. Elizabeth Nolan (1st) said, "Nothing has come to light to make me change my mind and I'll make the motion to deny the re­ quest." ^ Voting to deny the request were Aldermen Nolan, Bolger, Busse, Datz and McClatchey. Voting against the motion were. Smith, Snell and Serritella. In other business, the council voted unanimously to^praceed with engineering and advertising for bids for an iron removal facili­ ty for the water system. Mayor Stanek commented that in light of the new water tower and well No. 7 nearing completion, "time was of the essence." Aid. Gary Snell (4th) asked if there were any possibility of a grant to aid in the $335,000 (estimated) project. "We've received five grants, I don't foresee another one com­ ing," Stanek said. The government subsidy of resi­ dent and non-resident ducks has come to an end: Aid. William Bolger (1st) com­ mented that while he liked ducks, he did not believe tax money should be spent on them. He received support from Snell. "I tend to agree with Bill. For a long time, ducks have been flying north and going south. We created this problem ourselves. We've got to let things go in their natural state," Snell added. In the past, the city has donated up to $200 to supplement private donations to "Feed the Ducks." -- S t a n e k a n n o u n c e d t h e resignation of Marion Olsen from the library board. --City Clerk Barbara Gilpin issued a reminder that the vehicle sticker deadline is Jan. 31.

Well, for Laura and Daniel Koleno of McHenry, the equa­ tion was solved Monday at 10:13 a.m. when Laura gave birth to quadruplets at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood. "I held her hand. I was glad to be there," the father said about the delivery. "It was like electricity in?t|ie room. We were all just so ex­ cited," Koleno said. "And they (the doctors) say that they can't wipe the smile off my face," he said. "My head is in cloud nine." And not only is the couple, on cloud nine, so are Laura's parents, Jack and Alice Kedney of Crystal Lake. "Laura said she did a good job and she did. We are so very proud of her. Alice just couldn't believe all those babies were in­ side her (Laura)," the grand­ father said laughing. Two weeks after Laura found out she was pregnant, doctors t o l d t h e p a r e n t s t h a t quadruplets were expected, said her husband. K "At first, I guess we were a little depressed -- or over­ whelmed I should say. We wor­ ried if tl if Laurj them - there can be a lot of doubt in your mind," he said. But there was no'doubt once the four made their debuts. They were four healthy babies -- two boys and two girls , all averaging five pounds.
