Present were Commissioner Mercer, Betsey Warrington and Secretary Parisek. President Mercer declared the meeting to continue on September 2, due to lack of a quorum. On September 2, 1987, President Mercer opened the continuance of the August 26 meeting. Present were Commissioners Mercer, Olson and Woodcock, Attorney Cowlin, Mrs. Warrington, LeRoy Wirsing and Joanne Springman. Mr. Olson made a motion to approve the minutes of the July 29 meeting, seconded by Mrs. Mercer. All voted aye Continued on page 6 September National Child Safety Month September is National Child Safety Month and what better time to announce that some 20 million American children are better off this year due to a national effort to promote the use of seat belts. Seat belts for use in automobiles? No, seat belts for off-the- road safety for use in shop¬ ping carts in supermarkets and department stores. Since the Consumer Product Safety Commission first reported that more than 9,000 children under the age of 5 are injured from falling out of shopping carts annually, the amount of "safe supermarkets" has doubled. This is due to a commendable display of cooperation between consumers and private industry working together toward the common goal of bringing down that alarming number of accidents. But; unlike the mandatory use of automobile seat belts and child car seats in many states, shopping cart seat belts are being installed voluntarily. It is the overwhelming acceptance and appreciation of the seat belts by people that shop with small children that has prompted a growing number of supermarkets to install the Continued on page 7 ' wj^waawu- ¦«x»v..'/ invaders From Space in Huntley At least they look like space invaders. They are really just sandblasting the large storage tanks at McHenry FS in preparation for a new paint job. Yet another effort in the fight to keep out town looking great. Senior Citizen Club Senior Citizen Club met August 27th the Congrega¬ tional Church Social Hall for the monthly pot-luck. President Ahrens called the meeting to order. All recited the pledge to the flag. Roll call was taken and the min¬ utes were read and approved. Treasurer Knaak gave her report which was approved as read. The birthday song was sung for August celebrants. Committee for September is Gwen Montanye, Alice Rendl and Celestine Seisser. The recreation committee has scheduled a guided tour trip to Horicon Marsh and nearby points of interest for October 13th. The tour and lunch will cost $16. A sign up sheet was passed around and money will be collected at the September meeting. May Chesak moved that the $25 deposit needed be paid by the treasury for the reser¬ vation. Irene Yurs seconded and the motion carried. A trip by car is scheduled for November 18, to go to Shady Lane for lunch and the show Continued on page 3 Pioneer Apple Varieties Highlighted at Museum Program On Sunday, Sept. 13th, the McHenry County Historical Museum in Union will turn its afternoon program over to Mr. Joe Naber, owner of Thunder Grove Orchard in Marengo, for a program on antique apple varieties. Naber who now raises over 300 varieties of apples at his orchard got his start some 25 years ago after he and his wife, Jane, purchased about 36 acres north of Marengo and began planting apples. Preferring the antique apples as better tasting, he has studied their history and is ready to share his thoughts on apple growing and usage during the 2:00 P.M. program. Naber is a member of the Lakeland Fruit Growers Assoc, the II. Horticultural Society and the North American Fruit Explorers. He plans to bring samples of those apples that are in season to the museum for his program. Continued on page 9 County Fair Attracts Largest Crowds The McHenry County Fair attracted one of the largest crowds to attend the annual event and financially appears to have "broken about even," President Peter Reiland said today. Reiland and other board members held the annual review of the just-completed fair to hear suggestions on improvements for a better fair the following year. The only unsettling infor¬ mation came from a report that the insurance costs may more than double, a major expense in the delicate balance of income-and-ex- penses. For the past few years, gate receipts increased gradually and the 1987 fair was headed for a record attendance. Attendance the first three days—Wednesday, Thursday and Friday—topped the first three days of any preceding fair. Saturdays's all-day rain ruined the hopes of a record. Sundays attendance approached the Continued on page 9 School Board Meeting The regular meeting of the Board of Education of School District #158, Huntley Conso¬ lidated Schools, Huntley, Illinois was held in the High School building on August 27, 1987 at 7:30 p.m. The meeting was called to order by a Board Member at 7:43 p.m. Upon roll call the following members answered present: Mrs. McDonald, Mrs. Schadt, Mr. Greve, and Mr. Miller.
