V ^ W general News CITY REGULATES Investigate crashes within city limits Two vehicle collisions were reported Feb. 1 at the in­ tersection of Richmond Road and Elm Street. At 10:29 a.m., according to city police reports, Flossie Ukfna, 31,8 Forest, Marengo, was westbound on Elm Street through the in­ tersection when a southbound car driven by Ross A. Anderson, 173 Watonian Terrace, Fox Lake, made right turn from Richmond Road. Anderson told police that he had stopped on the red traffic signal and saw the other car but thought it was far enough away. Police ticketed him for disobeying a red light. A rear end collision resulted when Mary R. Dowell, 4003 Maple Avenue, McHenry stopped her car at the Elm Street traffic signal preparing for a right turn. Erin K. Byrnes, 1301 Cherry Valley Road, McHenry, was behind Ms. Dowell and presumed that she would turn and did not observe her stop, according to her statement to the police. Police ticketed Ms. Byrnes for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Minor damage was reported to the left rear of the Dowell car and the right front of the Byrnes vehicle. Terry H. Kaminski, 103 Nippersink, McHenry, was ticketed for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident Feb. 2 when her car struck the rear of a vehicle driven by John C. Phipps, 8512 Memory Trail, Wonder Lake, at 4:15 p.m. in the 900 block of Front Street. Both vehicles were southbound and the rear end collision occurred when Phipps stopped in traffic, but Kaminski did not. A vehicle driven by Kathleen Helberg, 14 Linden Court, Cary, sustained about $250 estimated damage to its side at 6:48 a.m. Feb. 1 when she was forced into a snow bank on Route 31 at the Bull Valley Road intersection. J According to her report, she was driving north when a full sized white eastbound car, which was stopped at the intersection, pulled out and turned left in front of her, causing her to brake and skid to the side of the road. The other driver, was not identified, did not stop. Slippery streets contributed to a collision on Elm Street at the Front Royal intersection about 11 a.m. Jan. 31, police reported. Karen Lynn Shubert, 3703 W... James, McHenry, was driving west in the inside lane when a vehicle in front of her made an unobserved stop' causing her to brake suddenly. The resulting skid turned her car sideways and it collided with the left rear of a vehicle in the curb lane driven by Paul K. Hellermann, 9595 Maple Drive, Rosemont, 111. Damage to each vehicle was estimated at about $250. Police issued a citation to Shubert for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Police issued three tickets to Joseph E. Mueller, 4418 Clearview, McHenry, Jan. 31 when be backed his station wagon from his drive and hit the right side of a car driven by Kenneth J. Prazak, 1519 Lakeland, McHenry, causing $250 estimated damage. Citations included driving with obstructed vision (snow on the rear window), improper backing and driving in violation of license restriction (glasses required.) A slippery road surface contributed to a mishap suffered by Robert M. Mantor, 4408 W. Clearview, McHenry, Jan. 31 when his car slid into a mail box at 4317 Clearview after he braked to slow. Damages to vehicle and property was estimated at $100. Police issued a citation for driving too fast for conditions. On the same date a Mental Health Center van suffered a rear end damage when a car driven by Gary E. Martin, Elgin, who said he failed to stop for traffic and struck the van while in the parking lot drives qf Whispering Point. No passengers were in the van. Damages were estimated at less than $150 for the van and $250 to the front end of Martin's car. Windbreaks help to reduce heating bills Planting a windbreak, par­ ticularly along the side of an exposed farm house, can make a dramatic difference in comfort and cost, explained Department of Conservation Chief Forester A1 Mickelson. "On a day when the tem­ perature is 10 degrees, a five mile-per-hour wind will produce a wind chill index of seven degrees. Double the wind velocity, and the wind chill drops to minus nine degrees. "Decreasing the wind makes a great deal of difference in terms of comfort inside the home," Mickelson said. "The windbreak also provides food, cover and nesting sites for upland game birds and songbirds. This wildlife is a joy to watch, and, with the coming of warmer weather, will con­ sume many pesky insects." Mickelson pointed out that a the tower must be at least 40 feet, explained Busse. With the city's height requirements, this would prevent a WECS to be constructed on a lot less than 70 £00^ wide All WECS devices installed in the city must be equipped with an automatic breaking device, and have secured access to prevent climbing. In con­ sideration for neighbors, the tower cannot cause interference of radio or television reception or emit unreasonable noise. Owners are responsible to secure liability insurance for the structure, and if found in non­ compliance, the tower must be dismantled within 30 days notice. Solar panels Solar collectors, or panels, which heat air or water through the sun's energy, are more generally regulated. The systems simply must comply with all plumbing, mechanical and electrical codes. Furthermore, they must be permanently attached to a structure, or must be in­ corporated as part of the structure. continued from page 1 Maximum height of a roof- mounted collector cannot ex­ ceed current zoning regulations. Dish antenna In residential areas, one circular dish-type antenna is permitted per lot. The installation of antennas is regulated by the size of the device. Those one meter in diameter or less can. be roof- mounted, but cannot be higher than 35 feet. The dish cannot be in the front or side yard of a primary structure and must be at least 10 feet from all property lines. A permit is not required. A dish which is greater than one meter in diameter must receive a city permit and con­ struction plans must be ap­ proved by the building and zoning officer. It also must have at least 10 feet setback from property lines; but cannot be roof- mounted. Its maximum allowable height from ground level is 15 feet. Larger dishes must be screened from view by shrubs or a fence of at least six feet in height. \ McHENRY GROWTH proper mix of trees and shrubs provides year round beauty for the home. Trees provide the "green" during the drab winter months; shrubs bloom profusley in the spring and bear brightly colored berries through early winter. The Department of Con­ servation offers a "Windbreak" packet for land owners. The packet contains seedlings for sufficient trees and shrubs to plant 500 lineal feet with two rows of pines and one shrub row. Order forms may be obtained from DOC Regional and District Offices, Extension Service Offices, the Soil Conservation Service or by writing the Department of Conservation, Division of Forest Resources and Natural Heritage, 524 S. Second St., Springfield, 111. 62706. to 8,079,300 in 2005. With a 48 percent increase, Will County is expected to have the next greatest population jump after McHenry, followed by Kane County at 44 percent, DuPage at 41 percent, Lake at 37 percent and Cook at 3 percent. The NIPC study forecast also shows that Chicago's population of a little more than 3 million people will increase less than 1 percent by 2005. Aradas said that the former trend of moving to the city has reversed itself and been growing during the past 10 years, with people moving back to the suburbs because of conditions like increased congestion and crime rates in the city. Due to land scarcity in Cook and the collar county areas, DuPage and northwest Cook counties will see their growth rates slow, while Lake and Kane Counties jwill experience increases in their share of suburban growth rates, according to the study. On a regional level, average household size is expected to decline from 2.80 in 1980 to 2.58 in 2005. The decline is based only on shifts in age distribution due to the general aging of the population. The aggregate in­ fluence of divorce rates, age at marriage and initial paren­ thood, the fertility rates and the 75-year murder sentence for Riley Convicted murderer Larry Riley, 24, of Harvard, was sentenced Friday to serve 75 years in prison. Riley was found guilty Nov. 3 for the April 24, 1983 stabbing death of 21-year-old Richard Lehman on an isolated stretch of Schultz Road near Harvard. Judge Henry Cowlin ordered Riley to serve the 75-year term in a sentencing hearing in 19th Judicial Circuit Court. The sentence means that Riley, with good behavior, will serve a minimum prison term of 37 years before being eligible for parole. Assistant State's Attorney Gary Pack, who prosecuted the Riley case, told the court before sentencing that Riley had a history of criminal activities. CORRECTION In the obituary of Frances T. Koob, which appeared in the Friday, Feb. 3, issue of the Plaindealer, it was noted that her husband, Pfeter, preceded her in death. This was incorrect. Mr. Koob is among her sur­ vivors.

He was 47, born in Westchester, PA May 15, 1936, the son of Harry and Alice Ross. Mr. Ross lived in the Ingleside area about 13 years, having come from Pennsylvania, and was currently a foreman for Matrix IV, Inc. in Woodstock. Surviving are his wife Linda (Rice) whom he married Nov. 20, 1958 in Pennsylvania: five daughters, Mrs. Anita Adams of Fox Lake. Mrs. Brenda Throesch of Pocahontas, AR, Mrs. Carol Qeffling of Ingleside, Miss Judy Ross of Amarillo, TX and Miss Rena Ross of Ingleside; and six grand­ children. A son, Mark, preceded him in death in 1981. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Monday, with the Rev. Jim Braswell of Clearview Baptist Church, Round Lake, officiating; and burial was in Woodland Cemetery, McHenry. Friends called from 2 to 9 p.m. Sunday at the Peter M. Justen & Son Funeral Home. SVOBODA continued from page 1 effect of the housing market on household size will remain constant at the 1980 levels. As the "baby boom" population ages, shifts in the regional age distribution will be seen. In 1970 and 1980,42 percent of the population was 35 years old or older, but by 2005, this figure will be 53 percent. The 20 to 24-year-old age group in 1980 was the largest five-year age group. By 2005, the 45- to 49- year-old age group will be the largest five-year "cohort." Although it will dip in the middle, by 2005, the school age population will be about equal to its 1980 level, the study noted. Young children will increase during the first part of the forecast period, then fall off in 2005 to a level slightly lower than the 1980 figure. This growth and decline will be a function of the shift in the female age distribution. The number of women in child- bearing years, 15 to 44, will continue to grow at a rapid pace, and as a result, so will the number of births. But by 2005, there will be 144,000 fewer women in the prime child-bearing years of age 20 to 29 than in 1980. Also, the senior population age 65 or older will increase steadily throughout the forecast period. Fred J.
