PAGE 20 - PLAJ[NDEALER^_ RBCUE TWO AREA SNOWMOBILE DRIVERS (Continued from page 1) Peterson said. He noted that the State Fire Marshal's office was notified and will be investigating the blaze. At about 1:30 a.m. Sunday, the McHenry Fire department was again called to 309 Rosedale, Lakemoor, where fire had again broken out. The blaze destroyed a garage at the residence. Fire Chief Peterson said both blazes were definitely arson and both are under investigation by state and local fire officials. Later Sunday night, another call reporting that a snowmobiler had gone through ice on Pistakee Lake brought response from the Johnsburg Rescue squad and Lifeline helicopter. The report was determined to be unfounded, according to Fire Chief Peterson. During the time between the two snowmobile incidents, the Lifeline helicopter had gone to its home base in Rockford and returned to the McHenry area. While fire fighters were tackling the garage fire in Lakemoor, the helicopter assisted with the recovery of another snowmobiler from Bang's lake, Wauconda. Joseph C. Zgonina, 24, of 502 Lake Shore boulevard, Wauconda, was pronounced dead at Good Shepherd hospital following the accident. PROVISIONAL OKAY FOR DISCOUNT LIQUOR (Continued from page 1) grant to aid in plant expansion- modification and defray the cost of moving heavy equipment from a plant in Michigan. Nocifora said the Illinois Coil ex­ pansion would create between 80 and 100 jobs at the McHenry plant. McHenry Mayor Joseph Stanek noted that the county is also con­ sidering acting as the grant applicant, which might give the local company a better shot at getting the funds. Similar to the agreement reached with Pioneer Center, where the city applies for the grant, Illinois CoU would be competing with other grant applicants for the money disbursed by IDCCA. City Attorney Bernard Narusis was authorized to petition the Appellate court for rehearing regarding the Tutera lawsuit. The court handed down a decision that was considered by the council to be, at best, cloudy, and made factual errors in its decision. The lawsuit concerns whether the city has the right to zone for con­ dominiums. In other business: --At the request of City Attorney Bernard Narusis, the council made a minor adjustment of the recapture boundaries associated with Northern Illinois Medical center. --Mayor Stanek reported that McCullom Lake President Monty Yates had approached him, in a WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 9.1983 general way, about the possibility of McHenry handling McCullom Lake sewage. --The council voted unanimously to close Orleans street to trucks above a weight limit which will be determined at a later date. --The council will consider an amendment to the Subdivision Control ordinance to allow easier subdivision of small parcels where no problems exist. --The council approved the pur­ chase of radio equipment for the police department at a cost of $35,000. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from pag* 1) fenders under 18 would receive one- year suspensions if the second offense should occur within a year after the first. There were 285,000 16-and 17-year- olds licensed to drive in Illinois last year. Of that number, 15 percent had at least one traffic conviction. Four percent had two or more. Edgar has made an observation most of us are well aware of - most young people aren't involved in ac­ cidents or disobey the traffic safety laws because they don't know the rules of the road or how to properly handle a vehicle. Most accidents are the result of speeding or drinking, or some other behavior and not lack of knowledge or skill. This doesn't offer much security for the people they meet on the highway, but it does add some strength to Edgar's argument that mature young drivers shouldn't be punished for the actions of the minority. And Edgar hasn't forgotten the older driver either. Proposed legislation would exempt nearly 60 percent of all Illinois drivers age 69 and over from taking the written driver's license examination at the time of renewal for having good driving records. Last year a new law went into effect which rewards good drivers under age 69 by exempting them from taking the written driver license that normally is required at least once very nine years. Mr. Edgar is making lots of folks happy. One would almost think he was preparing for an election campaign instead of just being nicely ensconced in his official chair for another term.

Burglary Charge Against Intruder Investigation of an early Sunday accident on Wilmot road and subsequent events led to the arrest of Patrick Hart, 24, 4002 White street, Solon Mills, mi charges of burglary, felony theft and possession of a stolen motor vehicle. Sheriffs police investigated the accident where reportedly the driver had fled the scene on foot after the vehicle had struck mailboxes and a tree.

It was discovered that $384 was taken from purses in the home. Bloodstains inside the Diedrich residence led police to believe the offender was the driver involved in the accident. A description was obtained and just before 7 a.m. the suspect was found walking along Wilmot road, with apparent face injuries, police said. Additional charges include possession of burglary tools as well as several traffic violations. During the investigation, police learned the vehicle involved m the accident had been stolen in Lake county.

In other thefts and incidents: Back Repeal Of Tax Withholding Senator Charles H. Percy (R.-Ill.) has co-sponsored a bill, S.222, to repeal the 10 percent withholding of tax from interest and dividends that is scheduled to go into effect July 1,1983. The bill, introduced by Senator Robert Kasten (R.-Wis.), would completely repeal the withholding provision of the 1962 Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility act and replace it with a requirement that interest and dividend 1099 farms be attached to each filed tax return. "Withholding interest and dividends is the worst idea and one of the greatest mistakes Congess has made in the 16 years . JX been in Washington," Percy said. "I have always opposed it and will fight to see that it is repealed." Percy voted against the withholding provision last summer when it passed Congress by a narrow margin. --Mark Meier, 7706 Catalpa, Wonder Lake, reported the theft of $5 and a car from his residence.
