Hass, 30, of 5504 Thelen drive, McHenry, was pronounced dead on arrival at McHenry hospital following a Friday night motorcycle accident on Grass Lake road, near Fox Lake. According to Fox Lake police, who investigated the accident, Hass ap­ parently lost control of the vehicle, which left the roadway. No injuries were reported and no citations given following a two-car collision at the intersection of Elm and Front streets last week. According to McHenry police, a car driven by Darin Jaburek, of 5406 W. Euclid, McHenry, was heading west on Route 120 when the collision occurred. Jaburek said the light was yellow as he attempted to cross the intersection. The driver of the other car, Robert J. / Wisas, of 5202 Shorehill, McHenry, told police he was facing east on Elm street inthe left turn lane and proceeded into the intersection when westbound traffic stopped. David *E. Thurow, of 5414 Hillside, Crystal Lake, was driving east on Shore drive when the car he was driving left the roadway, crossed four lawns and struck a tree. Thurow told McHenry police he lost control of the vehicle when he at­ tempted to kiss his girlfriend. He was ticketed for negligent driving. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) and police were on duty and under the general direction of John Shay, who heads the Emergency Services and Disaster agency, th6 operation was smooth. Fireworks displays cost considerably more money than they did 10 years ago. Nevertheless, from the first reactions to the Sunday evening entertainment, the expenditure has earned another year. We're proud of our home town! KAF THEME NIGHT IS FIESTA FEATURE (Continued from page 1) urges everyone to dress in western style, whether it's full regalia or a simple cowboy shirt. Little buckeroos will be able totiiy cowboy hats (dad­ dies can buy tnem, too), and there will be mustaches for sale for those who hadn't the%me or energy to raise a beard or mustache for the "Best in the West Beard" contest. Ladies haven't been forgotten, as a refined and fancy fashion show from caVeman days And down through the years has been planned to thrill and delight even the editors of Godey's Ladies book, the cornerstone of women's wear in the Old West. Country and western music will be provided throughout the evening. Entertainment runs from 7 to 11 p.m. Shirley Smith and Sandra Smith will be bringing their smooth song stylings and popular act; Craig Spengel will light up the night with a medley of show tunes; and Geri Gausling will warm the audience with a trip "Down Memory Lane". Dancers, under the direction of Wendy Simeon, will perform a variety of delightful dance numbers with a western motif. Vince Adams will make even Judge Roy Bean a tad jealous as he presides over the beard and mustache contest as the venerable emcee. The Checkerboard Squares will give demonstrations in square and round dancing, and show their versatility as they return for their popular segment o( the entertainment. Other surprises also await to delight and inspire, for an evening of fun and family can enjoy. There is no admission charge to the park, and entertainment is free. Only a pocket-sized world tour of the gourmet booths will require digging into the sock for a bit of cash. Entry blanks for the beard and mustache contest are available in the Fiesta Days guide book, but anyone who would like to enter that night (only with authentic beards or mustaches) may do so. There is no entry fee. Fran Olsen, chairman of the event, said, "Theme night" is one of the favorite events because it includes all ages, and promises some special fun for everyone.

FENCE VARIATION DIVIDES COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) The matter was deferred until the next council meeting. The council unanimously passed a number of amendments to the Sub­ division Control ordinance Monday night which would require sidewalks on both sides of a street in certain situations. The amendments stipulate that sidewalk be provided on both sides of - any major, secondary, federal, state, ^county, township or federal aid urban streets or highways. In residential areas, except "R-l" residential or estate zoned properties, sidewalks shall be provided on any non- subdivision street that abuts a sub­ division or where a subdivision abuts both sides of a dedicated roadway. The amendments also specifically include cable television as one of the utilities entitled to use public easements, require subdividers to pay retained personnel fees and specify channels of appeal through the Plan commission in the event of a grievance. Park Director Peter Merkel reported to the council that the Sept. 15 deadline for the completion of Knox park, as required by the grant, should be met. He noted (Jiat there was still a lot of work to be done, but added that it was being scheduled to meet the deadline. His report was prompted by concerns that were voiced at the meeting by Alderman Elizabeth Nolan, chairman of the Park committee. In other business, Alderman George Harker announced the 1981 road program for the city. In Ward I, Dale street is slated for resurfacing and widening and a bike path on the west side of Green street, to Knox park, will be constructed. In Ward II, some repair work is scheduled for Front Royal court. In Ward III, repair work is also planned for thcp' intersection of Pearl and Green streets. In Ward IV, repairs are in the hopper for Shorehill, from Park to Beach; Rogers, from Prairie to Shore; and Clearview, from Eastern to Oak. Work is also planned for Oak lane, from Orleans to the bridge and from the bridge to Prairie, but the matter was not included in the program as it is tied to the development of the McHenry Lakes Estates subdivison. The estimated cost for the program is $46,879. The city will also be in contact with engineers in order to bring well No. 7, on Crystal Lake road, into operation. Robert Logan was appointed to the Library board to fill the unexpired term of Patrick Lawler. Investigate Two Fires An investigation by county and state fire authorities is continuing into two separate fires which accounted for extensive damage to structures in the McHenry area. At about 8 p.m. Saturday night, fire fighters from Companies I, II and III of the McHenry Township Fire departs ment were called to a structure fire at an unoccupied house at the intersection of Sunset and Park, in Lakemoor. According to a Fire department spokesman, the blaze destroyed the home. No damage estimate or cause is yet available. In another fire, which broke out early Thursday evening in a small barn at 4303 Ringwood road, a fire department spokesman was unable to estimate the amount of damage. An investigation into the cause of that structure fire is being continued. The building was owned by Modine Manufacturing, Ringwood. Judy Vyduna Awarded Assembly ̂ Scholarship JUDY VYDUNA State Rep. Dick Klemm has an­ nounced that Judy Vyduna, McHenry, is a winner of a General Assembly scholarship. Rep. Klemm established a Scholarship committee to review all For Gypsy Moths applications and select those con­ sidered best qualified. This committee was comprised of educators and laypersons from the legislative district. "The committee had a difficult task, as many very qualified people applied for these scholarships," commented Klemm. Judy Vyduna will be a junior at the University of Illinois at Urbana. She is majoring in art education. The young McHenry girl graduated from Johnsburg high school as an Illinois State Scholar and a member of the National Honor society. She was included in Who's Who Among American High School Students.

Miss Vyduna is currently working as promotion coordinator for 4-H day at the University of Illinois. Monitor Burlap Traps The Citizens Concerned for the En­ vironment are now monitoring burlap traps in the core gypsy moth area on a regular schedule. The CCE will be checking for caterpillars and later, for pupae, to determine the population and location of the moth. As yet, no caterpillars have been found. However, residents are asked to leave the burlap on their trees until Labor day, as all caterpillars should have metamorphosed by that date. Residents may check the traps on their property if they wish. Any caterpillar or pupa they find, or suspect, might be the gypsy moth. Phone Mrs. J. Shanholtzer, 414 N. Kensington; Louis Marchi, 7319 W. Trey road, or Mrs. D.M. Kappen, 1709 N. Beach road, all McHenry. After Labor day, residents may take the burlap traps down and store them in the garage, or phone one of the CCE members listed above, who will see that traps are removed. Nothing should be done with the Pheromone traps set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The triangular shaped boxes will be monitored and removed by the U.S.D.A. PLAN MEETING The next regular meeting of the McHenry County Regional Planning commission will be held July 9 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 112 of the McHenry county courthouse.
