PACK 1 MND»;\I.I:K-V\KDNKSDAY, NONKMBER HI. "CHRISTMAS SHOP McHENRY" IN '76 (Continued from page 1) counter cards and other materials, including radio and newspaper advertisements. "Shopping at home is im­ portant to our community and our part of the state", said Ms. Eppers. "Every year our stores carry more and better mer­ chandise. Practically any item that can be found in larger cities, can now be found right here in McHenry." "What's more, our local economy can especially benefit from hometown shopping this time of year when between 20 percent and 25 percent of retail sales are traditionally made. Keeping our own dollars at home can help provide more jobs and encourage the growth and development of new stores and shopping areas "This is a positive program for McHenry", said Ms. Ep­ pers. "If it can't be found here, shop somewhere else...by all means. But before leaving Christmas dollars to benefit someone else's community, let's all try to "Christmas Shop McHenry." MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) put the depot back in its original state. McHenry is somewhat more fortunate in that through the concern of an area business firm for the history of the local bridge, it will not be demolished. This gives only slight solace to those who would have preserved the bridge in its original location as a landmark to enjoy far in the future. In three sections, it will now be used on private property. We can only wonder what McHenry Kiwanians of fifty years ago would have thought of our landmark destruction. Just a half century ago, when McHenry was smaller and boasted a natural beauty we were unable to retain with a fast growing population, the club sponsored a beautification contest to make this "The city of Flowers". Dr. William llowenstino, an environmentalist, made a similar suggestion to local officials almost two years ago, when he first learned of plans to demolish the bridge. His suggestion was to convert use of the landmark to a walking or 'cycling bridge with beautification much like the idea expressed in the Kiwanis contest of fifty years previous. The fight was a valiant one but we lost. Our last goodbye appears elsewhere in this issue. K.A.F. PELLETS HIT YOUTH AIDING AREA HUNTERS (Continued from page 1) Freihage, Glenview, who was taken by the Richmond Rescue squad to the McHenry hospital for treatment of minor gunshot wounds The events which led up to the accident began at the Rich­ mond Game field, 5016 Route 173, Richmond, Saturday. The victim was trying to flush out pheasants for a group of hunters, including his father. They said a pheasant circled back down toward the boy, who had fallen to the ground. One hunter, identified as Michael Quinlan, Downers Grove, fired a shot gun at the errant bird and some of the pellets hit the boy. BRIDGE FINDS NEW HOME (Continued from page 1) county between 1850 and 1890. This one was located on the site of a sandstone Indian crossing. Its location was historically significant. From 1837 to 1842, pioneers crossed the Fox river on a ferry at that spot, and between 1842 and 1880, when the iron bridge was built, three other bridges once stood. From 1881 until 1927, when the Rt. 120 bridge was con­ structed, the old McHenry bridge was the major bridge over the Fox river in this area. It has had a major impact on the growth of McHenry and that city's growth as a tourist town and gateway to the Chain- O'-Lakes. Until recently, it was the oldest and largest metal truss bridge in the county still in use. The master planning and proposed long range development of the Terra Cotta Realty Company property at Terra Cotta is being carried out by Edward Noonan, Chicago Associates, Planners and Architects, of Evanston. Dean Cunat of Terra Cotta Realty company is in charge of the moving project. George A. Berry III, president of Terra Cotta Realty, announced a bronze plaque will be installed on each span giving the history of the bridge. Consideration is also being given to turning the sites over to the McHenry County Historical society. ARRAIGNMENT FOR FIVE (Continued from page 1) Terrell said he was on duty that night, and was called out to route 14 about 1:10 a.m. to where the tractor and tank trailer rig had hit a farm outbuilding. He said he found, besides the body of the victim some fragments of rocks which he collected and sent to the Northern Illinois Crime laboratory at Highland Park. Terrell also spoke of talking with Arthur Engle at Memorial hospital at about 2:15 a.m. that morning. Engle told of driving home from work at Elk Grove Village along U.S. 14 and noting a vehicle coming toward him weaving back and forth. He slowed down and as the vehicle passed him, an object shattered his windshield and hit him in the chest. The object, a large white painted rock, stayed in his vehicle. He pulled over to the side of the road and stop­ ped. Terrell described the rock as • about the size of a 16-inch softball, and there was a hole in the upper left hand part of the windshield. He said he learned of Engel's accident from a Daniel Terlowski, who had phoned him about it Terrell said he talked with Louis Portalski, the truck driver who was following Klawes when the accident occurred. Portalski said he and Klawes had left Boncosky Trucking on Pyott road about 12:10 a.m. and proceeded north on Rt. 14, conversing at times on their CB radios. He saw the Klawes truck leave the road and run into the farmyard after the CB radio went dead. He also felt a bump under his truck just after the Klawes rig left the road. Portalski said he pulled over and stopped and went to see what happened to Klawes. He noted to Terrell later that his brakes failed as he was coming into Sauk City and an inspection showed that a part of . his air brake system had been damaged, probably by some sort of missile. Of most interest was the statement of Daniel Craig, which Terrell said he had ob­ tained about 10:35 Oct. 25, after Detective James Fitzgerald talked with the suspect in the civil defense room of the courthouse. Terrell said that after Craig repeated his statement for recording in writing, he was taken to the State's Attorney's office so that another statement could be prepared. According to Terrell, Craig told of riding in his van with the four other defendants during the evening of Oct. 19, and taking two girls home, one at Stone Lake Apartments, south of Woodstock, arriving there about 11 to 11:30 p.m. The girl got a dollar for some gas for the van and the group reentered their vehicle and started to leave. They noted the rocks and stopped and loaded about fif­ teen in the van, left the apart­ ment complex by way of Route 47, went north to U.S. 14, and headed toward Crystal Lake between 11:30 and midnight. Terrell said Craig told of driving toward Crystal Lake at 50 to 55 mph and "they" were throwing rocks out of the van. At south Ridgefield road near the trailer park, they headed north again, through Ridgefield stopping briefly on Market street. The van then drove up Country Club road onto Mc- Connell road, exiting out on Route 47 again at Woodstock, a trip which Terrell said, by his checking it, could be made in about twenty minutes. Terrell said that according to Craig, they headed south on HOUSE OF QUALITY Lmmmm's Meats, fish & Deli 5000 W.

They then met the two semi- trucks, and as they passed the second, they saw sparks fly off the truck and it veered and stopped. Craig then told Terrell they "all got scared", unloaded all of their rocks as they drove, and left the scene. Terrell said that Craig then told of dropping each of his companions off at their various addresses. Terrell said that when they were taking one girl home earlier, and were driving north on Route 31, something was thrown against the front of their van by a passing vehicle, and that was where they got the idea of throwing things. Terrell testified that Craig had also told of three of them getting together and talking about the incident which was receiving a lot of publicity. They noted that they should have known someone was going to get hurt. Terrell said they had taken the van into custody and found some small chips of rocks which had white paint on them and these were sent to the crime lab. The lab report, Terrell testified, expressed a belief that the chips fitted or the factures matched the stone samples which they had ob­ tained from Klawes' truck and the pieces were from a mass of common origin. ANIMALS FARE POORLY IN BOUTS WITH CARS (Continued from page 1) Tlje driver said she took a wrong turn, and then later claimed that an unknown vehicle forced her to leave the road. A truck driven by George H. Hanson, 709 Oriole trail, McHenry, backed into trouble Friday when the driver missed the driveway he was at­ tempting to find, and he tried to turn around at 1506 Lily Lake road. Sheriff's police noted Hanson said that as he tried to turn around to find the right drive in which to drop his load, he backed into a vehicle driven by Kenneth R. Jourdan, 1505 W. Birch avenue, McHenry, which had stopped behind him. No injuries were reported. Hanson was ticketed for improper backing. In another accident at 5817 Wonder Woods drive, Saturday, Thomas A. Kubalewski, 8203 Gerson drive. Wonder Lake, was ticketed by deputies for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident. He told in- vetigators from the Sheriff's departmfnt he was driving north when he lost control of his vehicle, ran off the road and hit two mail boxes. A McHenry truck driver was injured and ticketed in a one- vehicle accident on Ringwood road, near McHenry,*- last Thursday, according to sheriff's police. William E. Bender, 25, 4304 N. Riverdale dr., was taken by the John- sburg Rescue squad to the McHenry Hospital for treat­ ment following the mishap. According to Bender's statement, he was driving in the 800 block of Ringwood road, and as he approached Memory Trail, another vehicle pulled out and he swerved his Mack tractor to avoid a collision. This caused him to lose control. Bender advised, and the tractor left the roadway, crossing several lawns, causing ex­ tensive damage to landscaping. Deputies issued Bender a ticket for improper lane use. A witness advised investigators that he believed the tractor was traveling at a high rate of speed. He was only road testing the car as a prelude to a possible purchase, Peter J. Connor, 1704 Riverside drive, McHenry, said after the 1975 Stingray, ,which he was driving ran off Route 176 in Nunda township last week, according to deputies. Connor said he tried passing another car and made a wide sweep, running off the pavement. The car continued off the road and hit two small trees on the north side of the highway near 5309 Route 176. Jim Danca Olds reclaimed the vehicle. No injuries were reported. The wooden wagon parked in the lot of the House of Wine and Cheese at Richmond was damaged in a collision Sunday, according to county police. . A car driven by John E. Fuchs, 5706 Hillcrest, Rich­ mond, was reported to have left a nearby access road and hit the tourist attraction. Fuchs told deputies that he was driving west on a gravel road between County Highway P and Route 12 and skidded off the road, down a bank into the parking lot. He received minor injuries but refused treatment. No injuries were reported in a rear end collision at the in­ tersection of Routes 31 and 176 Friday between vehicles driven by Russell E. Schert, 5408 W. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, and by Eugene C. Lamp, 1803 Paula court, Dundee, according to the sheriff's police. According to statements given to the accident in­ vestigation unit, Lamp had stopped northbound in traffic on Route 31 and Schert, ap­ proaching from the rear, saw the traffic light change to green, and believing that the traffic would start moving again, did not stop, and hit the rear of the Lamp vehicle. No injuries were reported. William T. Mullen, 1509 W. May, a McHenry county sheriff deputy, was driving east in a county squad car with red lights activated on Route 120 at 6:45 p.m. Monday night on an emergency call when Howard Reinboldt, 1008 N.
