Wonder Lake officials look at Deaths Page 3 - PLAIN DEALER-F|ER ALD, FRIDAY, MARCH 15.19B5 a more conservative 1985 budget ArvoJ. Yllo O Arvo J. Yllo, 67, Following a year about $12,000 in the red, Village of Wonder Lake officials are looking at a more conservative and accurate budget this time around. A preliminary report on the village of Wonder Lake proposed 1985-86 fiscal year budget was heard by the board Tuesday. Trustee Brian McLaughlin presented a preliminary budget of $60,675 for the next fiscal year, about $8,000 less than the 1984-85 budget. McLaughlin said the village was about $12,000 over budget last year primarily because of unexpected work which had to be done on Thompson Road and smaller-than-expected donations to the village road fund. Seal-coating the part of Thompson Road in the village cost $15,000--$10,000 of which still has to be paid. Donations to the seal coat fund were expected to total about $3,600, but only $1,200 was collected. There were only a few other items in the budget for which collected revenue did not meet the projected figure. McLaughlin said the new budget is "more conservative and, hopefully, more accurate. The budget is generally the same as last year...." he added. Village President Duane Zeman said the village would FOX RIVER (Continued from page 1) The Fox Riverfront Federation has repeated in various public forums that (he Fox, like eveiy other river on earth, first was a stormwater drainage system for rain and snow removal before the first humans launched their first boat for transportation, commerce or pleasure. Hie Fox will remain that natural stormwater runoff system, irrespective of dam interventions and riverfront developments for residence or commerce, the Federation re-emphasizes. Physical evidence along the Fox and its integral Chain of Lakes supports the Army Corps of Engineers' prediction that the Fox is widening-by as much as a foot a year-as its dams cause it to shallow, until such time as positive rehabilitative programs are created. Long-range preservation of the riverway is the challenge facing the new Waterway Management Agency. Its options in­ clude dredging present shallowed river and lake bottoms, bulkheading (seawalls) against future land erosion into the waterways and restrained wakes by boats which exacerbate waterfront erosion. Waterway Management Agency candidates will present their individual goals and plans for preserving and rehabilitating the riverway, and answer questions about how to do it, how to guarantee it, and how to pay for it. Candidates for the chairmanship are Jerold R. (Jerry) Cor- drey of McHennr and Andrew E. (Andy) MacMeekin of Burton's Bridge Beach Subdivision, east of Crystal Lake, in McHenry County; and Joe Basak of Incleside and John C. Soffietti of Lake Villa, in Lake County. One of those four will be voted chairman. McHenry County candidates for three seats on the agency are Darrell J. Baker, Dennis Baureis and Raymond (Mike) Bohne, McHenry; Bruce Bossow, Cary; Phyllis Dickstein, Brian Koffler, Milton (Joe) Parsons, Robert Sallaz, James J. Stahl and George L. Thompson, McHenry; Joseph Washburn, Algonquin, and Jane Weisse, McHenry. Lake County candidates for three seats on the agency board are Ronald Baker, Antioch; Milton Boeger, Ingleside; Edward Caulfield and Wayne Foss, Antioch; Henery F. Franke, Ingleside; Ray Gunaelach, Lake Villa; Edward Haley, Antioch; Joseph M. Hamm, Lake Villa; James Harris and Charles Kempf, Antioch; Walter Lang, Ingleside; Robert G. (Bob) Schmidt, Lindenhurst; Howard E. (Bud) Scott, Lake Villa and Scott Shalek, Fox Lake. not undertake any new road improvement projects this year in the hope of recouping cost overruns. "If we tighten our belts, as Brian has accepted, we can enter into a major road program once again next year for secondary roads," Zeman said. The $10,000 still needed to pay off the Thompson Road project was added to the new budget. Although Zeman expects two more payments from the federal revenue sharing program, that sourcc of money may be a thing of the past. McLaughlin suggested the vote on the budget be delayed until a new board is elected in April. MAYOR (Continued from page 1) None of the candidates, when asked why McHenry does not have a hotel, could pinpoint the exact reason. Stanek said he has "worked hard" for such a facility, and has never denied zoning for an interested hotel investor. He said that an in­ vestor is c currently looking at several properties around the hospital. Busse stated that "economic factors" have probably been the big reason for the city's poor luck in attracting a hotel. To offset this problem, he suggested that the city could make concessions to attract potential investors. McClatchey said a hotel is needed to keep business in the area. "If I was mayor for 12 years, I think I would have a hotel by then," he said. Some of the other subjects brought up at the debate in­ cluded: expansion of the McHenry Sand and Gravel Pit near Valley View School, which all of the candidates basically opposed, depending on the exact circumstances; the expansion of the city's water and sewer system, which all three agreed wfcs an important goal for McHenry; and the possibility of a traffic light at Route 31 and Lillian Street, which all three supported.
