ONE ACCIDENT VICTIM DIES (Continued from page 1) % speed to avoid an accident following a three-vehicle collision at the in tersection of Meadow and Elm last Thursday. Involved in the collision, Craig C. Smith, of 3008 Miller, McHenry, was waiting at the intersection behind another vehicle when he heard a car skidding to a stop. Riding a moped. Smith moved to the median in an attempt to avoid being hit by the Baldwin vehicle The oncoming Baldwin auto struck the moped and a car driven by Jacqueline N. Chodorowski, of 1510 Val court, McHenry. Baldwin told police he did not know what happened No injuries were reported. The collision occurred at 4:20 p.m. April 2. No injuries or tickets were reported after a bicycle, ridden by Michael M. Hemker, of 5109 Cambridge, McHenry, ran into the side door of an auto driven by Jane M. Waller, of 6013 Magnolia, Ringwood. The collision occurred last Thursday. Three school buses were involved in a minor collision in the parking lot of East campus last Wednesday. Marie M. Yurevich, 1921 Fernwood, McHenry, told McHenry police a white car was attempting to pass the bus she was driving, which caused her to run into the rear of another bus The driver of the other bus was Barbara J Freres, of 4714 Garden Quarter, McHenry. The Freres bus, in turn, struck the rear of a bus, driven by Teresa M. Behrle, of 106 S. Crystal Lake road, McHenry. No injuries were reported No citations were issued. The accident occurred at 2:41 p.m April 1. OFFER ALTERNATIVE TO SHORES $1.5 MILLION ROAD PROGRAM (Continued from page 1) added maintenance costs for the new roads; costs of repairing road cuts for the new sewer system and the fact that many citizens pleaded that they couldn't afford the assessments because they were ott fixed incomes Cowlin noted that the board had claimed not to have made up its mind and indicated sympathy with the wishes of the majority He presented two sets of petitions against the special assessment proposal, the latter con taining the signatures of 314 voters out of 608 registered in the village, which Cowlin said was a majority "I believed it when you said you would abide by the majority. Consider the petitions We ask you to abandon this costly procedure (special assessment)." Testifying for the road program special assessments was Pam Mon tgomery, who said it was reasonable with the costs allotted to each property Ardath Reed, an eighteen-year resident, said that in that time she had seen no major change in the village setting with all the good houses, but no roads leading to them. It was a sad commentary for the village that people had lost their sense of priorities. There is a need to develop and improve, she said. Progress is out of tune with the times, Ms. Reed claimed. She insisted that it can't call itself a village without a commitment to growth Newcomers should also have that commitment and they should all pull together, she concluded. " Gorniak, who said he had left Car- pentersville to get away from skyrocketing village costs for city services, charged that the estimated $37.50 per front foot would probably be exceeded and asked what was the triggering point for rehearing. Board members said that a 10 percent in crease would cause the proposal to be sent back for rehearing. Gorniak said the reason for buying in McHenry Shores was not for its pretty roads but for budget reasons. If he didn't like the situation < lack of roads and sewers) he wouldn't have moved there. "The government doesn't give you anything for nothing", Gorniak asserted, "the bottom line is we're going to pay for it." His remarks drew extensive applause Grimes instructed the engineers to prepare new specifications and estimates for the April 23 hearing and assured the audience that it was the board's duty to check the opinions of each owner that would be affected by the new reduced proposal. Attendance at this final session of the hearings on the original $1.5 million Special Assessment No. 1 for a road program was considerably reduced from the previous two sessions. CITY COUNCIL LOOKS AT HIGH ROAD COST (Continued from page 1) nounced that Saturday. April 18, has been designated for the annual Easter Egg Hunt for children ages 5 years and under Merkel also said April 24 has been named Arbor day in McHenry and will be recognized with the planting of several trees in city patks. The council voted to approve the hiring of three former summer em ployees for the Easter vacation week in order to help with park clean-up and other duties Police Chief George Pasenelli told the council that Don Bentz, of the John- sburg Rescue squad, had asked if the McHenry Police department would continue dispatching for the squad, which is also providing emergency medical service to the Spring Grove area It is expected that the rescue squad will be covering the additional area for about a year, while Spring GroVe organizes and trains a squad of its own. The council accepted a number of low bids for concession equipment for the concession stand at Knox park and the portable stand Park Director Merkel said the bids came in about $780 less than was ex pected. The council approved a payment of $50.134 40 to Keno and Sons con struction for work completed on the sewer plant expansion. FAMILY RIGHTS-- HSA-KLM IN HASSLE (Continued from page 1) reducing the number Janishewski commented that the plan does not set forth a plan to do so. The second reference is to aiding parents in providing sex education for the children. " . The final reference involves a goal of working with the parents and families in dealing with the problems related to youth Ms Whitfield also said election at tempts were blocked using parliamentary "tricks." bylaw changes and recently elected board members. At an annual meeting, held in 1979, seven board members sympathetic to the FRC were elected Janishewski said complaints were received from Kane and Lake county members and the bylaws were subsequently amended so that board members would only be elected by the people of the county they represent. At the 1980 annual meeting, the FRC elected more members, Ms. Whitfield said The meeting, hence the election, was later declared invalid because a quorum did not exist. George Lowe, of Cary, who now sits on the HSA-KLM board, filed a com plaint after the meeting. Lowe and Janishewski agreed that a roll call had not been taken before the meeting and the lack of quorum was discovered afterward. Another meeting was called. Ms. Whitfield said, but FRC sympathizers on the board walked out when they saw people in attendance who had not voted earlier The meeting was adjourned for lack of a quorum Janishewski said the lack of a quorum at the reconvened meeting was due to board members who would not take their seats He went on to say the board's subsequent action to elect new board members was made, based upon the advice of an independent parliamentarian. The opinion, reportedly based on "Robert's Rules of Order." said the meeting where the election was held satisfied the requirement for an annual meeting and noted that the business meeting was invalid because of a lack of quorum. At the annual meeting, held last month, Ms Whitfield said some board members walked out in the middle of nominations from the floor. Janishewski commented that the board members who walked were "disgusted" with the hassled proceedings and left. That meeting was adjourned due to a lack of quorum Ms. Whitfield has also charged that Springtime Sound Celebration! STEVE WIN WOOD Include*.

And the environmental concern among people in the Griswold lake area for their lake will not be affected either. This controversy brings to mind the pros and cons of gypsy moth control that continued throughout last summer in McHenry. Typically, it is a problem of the times and demonstrates fears for cures some feel have not been tested sufficiently. Time should heal these differences, but probably not before many more words of exasperation have been exchanged in defense of each viewpoint -- chemicals versus other means of control. The No. 1 issue at McHenry Shores -- a proposed road improvement program- is chiefly one of the pocketbook. "Too expensive", the opposition has cried out as they viewed the special assessment. "Need" was the answer. In this case objectors took a politcal means to counteract the proposal by naming write-in candidates. The out come of Tuesday's village election may have some bearing on the road im provement news from the Shores in the weeks ahead. Affecting almost every McHenry resident, either directly or indirectly, is the result of the District 15 school referendum In the news this was chiefly a vote upon which only one side spoke out But history tells us that in tne anonymity of the voting booth it beconftes just as much a controversy as any of the others we've related. Police protection, lack of sewers, lake restoration - these are among problems facing some of our villages, if we can judge by answers to a questionnaire sent to each city and village candidate. To the residents of these municipalities, the April 7 election results are important Whether new people provide the answers is only a guess. In some instances they may have an opportunity; in others they will not. The losers can look back a year from now and wonder how it might have been. Problems are looked upon as un fortunate happenings that beset all of us. But as unpleasant as they can be, one thing is certain - they will be solved, or they will leave, only to be replaced by new ones Like taxes, they are always with us. KAF National Association Bolger Looks Back On Year As /BAA President "The future looks good for small, independent banks because that's what the people want," according to Thomas F. Bolger, president of the McHenry State bank. Bolger recently completed a term as president of the Independent Bankers Association of America. The association has a membership of more than 7,400 banks, representing more than half of the banks in the 48 states In Colorado, Bolger pointed out, the people defeated a referendum to allow statewide branching of banks by a vote of 3 to 1. "It was a larger turnout than for the race for senator," Bolger said. Bolger commented that it was im portant for people to be able to go to another bank if they are not satisfied with the services provided at one financial institution. "The independent bank is important to the consumer and must be respon sive to the community," Bolger said. He noted that the mortgage interest rate at the McHenry State bank was "substantially lower" than the current rate at First Federal of Chicago. "First Federal doesn't have to be responsive," Bolger said. Speaking further regarding the future of the banking industry, Bolger observed that inflation was still the biggest problem facing the industry. "When we talk about the blame for inflation, we usually speak of the federal government, but it's at all levels." Bolger said "Inflation is everyone's problem." The industry as a whole, he com mented, is very supportive of the President's program to reduce spen ding. Another i&ue facing the banking industry are the new bankruptcy laws, which make it easier for people to file for and declare bankruptcy. Bolger said Congress over-reacted and made the law too lenient. "People are taking bankruptcy to avoid paying just debts," he said. Among the highlights of the last year as president of the association were being called to the White House for the signing of the Monetary Control Deregulation Act. Bolger said, "The act is the most sweeping change in banking law in the last 50 years." Essentially, the act allows the payment of interest on checking ac count balances and broadened the powers of the savings and loan in stitution. Bolger noted that he was also called to the White House to attend a con ference on the problems facing the small businessman. The McHenry bank president also attended the presidential inauguration and testified before banking com mittees of the both Houses of Congress and the Illinois legislature. In the two years preceding his term as president of the bankers' association, Bolger also served as second and first vice-president.

Ira Bain, Stephanie Allen, Doug Mullen, Don Mitacek, Colette Wipper and Roger Quinlan Why your electric company is plugging coal and uranium. There are really only two fuels. The scarce ones and the abundant ones. * The more dependent we are on the scarce fuels to make electricity the less certain we can be that there will always be enough electricity. And the more costly that electricity becomes. So at Commonwealth Edison, we make almost hall ol our electricity from coal and most of the rest from uranium. Both are abundant fuels. By using them, we're helping to conserve America's oil and natural gas resources for transportation and other vital energy needs. And v/e're lessening our reliance on imported fuels. Last year coal and uranium supplied energy equivalent to about 100 million barrels of oil, which would have cost over $2.5 billion in fuel expense. Think of electricity as the Conservation Energy. The next time you plug something in, remember: You're using the energy that helps save energy. Commonwealth Edison
