Two separate accidents at the corner of Front street and Waukegan street were in­ vestigated by McHenry Police Jan. 27. Both accidents were rear-end collisions involving cars stopped at a stop sign Charles B. Fernstrom, 4115 W.

Prior to announcing his nomination of Rogers. Mayor Stanek read h letter that was sent to him by the board of directors of the Lakeland Park association. The association requested that the mayor and City Council fill the vacancy immediately so that the interests and needs of the Fourth ward could be served. The directors suggested to Stanek that he consider Cecilia Serritella, who was a candidate for Uie Council in the last election. The letter cited the fact that Mrs. Serritella was interested in the government of the city, narrowly losing in the last election in her quest to be an alderman. In his letter of resignation to the Council last week, Schaedel stated that Mrs. Serritella, who ran for the Ward 4 position currently held by Ernie Schooley in the April election of last year, would be the logical Pregnant, NEED HELP?i CALL BIRTHRIGHT 815-385-2999 w choice and a good candidate. Schooley cited the fact that Mrs. Serritella lost to Schooley by only 31 votes, and that was a good indication that she was the choice of the people Despite the suggestions of the Property Owners association and Schaedel, Mayor Stanek announced his nomination of Rogers after he finished reading the letter of the association. Mayor Stanek explained to the Council that Rogers was a former alderman and never lost an election when he was a candidate. Ernie Schooley, the other Ward 4 alderman, asked the Council to approve the nomination. "I would be proud and honored to work with Jerry on the Council," said Schooley, "and I move that the Council accept his nomination." Prior to a roll call vote being taken. Alderman Adams of Ward 3 voiced his objections. "Rogers did not run in the last election, indicating that he wasn't interested in the position," Adams stated "Mrs. Serritella invested her time and money into the campaign and narrowly lost." "I will have to vote no," concluded Adams. A roll call vote of the Council was taken by City Clerk Gilpin. Aldermen Nolan, Bolger and Schooley voted yes, while Adams. Datz and Harker voted no The last alderman to vote, Raymond Smith, hesitated momentarily before voting on the motion Finally, Smith voted yes, making the final tally four to three in favor of the nomination The newly appointed alderman was then introduced by the mayor to those in at­ tendance and Rogers was in­ ducted into office by the city clerk In another appointment. Mayor Stanek nominated Robert Blake to the Zoning Board of Appeals to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of Edward Parks. Blake, who ran for city treasurer and lost by 42 votes in the April election to William Brda. was unanimously ac­ cepted by the Council. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) cars from the roads, we took one sleigh ride in our youth on McCullom Lake road. It was the period after horses had served their usefullness on the farm but before their newfound popularity as "somethihg to have to keep up with the Joneses". Living in the city, we heard Moms, Dads and grandparents talk about horses as we do now about cars. It seems they got you where you wanted to go qn cold mornings without a worry about whether the spark plugs were worn out. Would they start? Of course they would! Well, it was the horse that led the sleigh on that memorable ride of another day. No cars hurried by us as we enjoyed the thrill of a mode of tran- sporation we had never known. So efficient is modern technology that country roads are seldom ideal for sleigh rides for more than a few hours after a snowfall. The blizzard of last week proved the exception, and persistent zero tem­ peratures assured that sleigh riding could be undertaken only ONE DAY INCOMETAX SERVICE CALL 385-4410 for appointment at the risk of frozen ex­ tremities. So give Dobbin (or his 1978 counterpart) a treat and let him see what it's like to trot proudly down the road pulling a load of happy people. It might be just what everyone needs to mark the storm indelibly on a reluctant memory. It might also just give a passing motorist, struggling to keep out of the drifts, a feeling less than secure that his warm, but sometimes unreliable machine, could be replaced KAF MCC STUDIES COOPERATION WITH CONSORTIUM (Continued from page 1) board suggested it was ap­ propriate for MCC to pursue the assistance to the Consortium at this time.
