The center, situated on an 83- acre farm on Thompson Road, survived some heated opposition by village residents who ex­ pressed concern about the I | ... flpiMWJnfr1 facility's effect on property values and the type of juveniles who would be admitted.

However, Chorjel said the MeHenry County Zoning Board did stipulate that The Willows: cannot admit more than a total of 40 youths - 25 in residence; cannot build new facilities on the land; must have 24-hour supervision; must build an "unclimbable" fence along the Elm Street side of the property and must have the County Health Board annually review theprogram.

Scott M. Raynor, also known as Scott Springer, 20, of 39244 Shore Drive, Spring Grove, and 18-year-old Dana J. Grogan of Lake Villa, were sentenced to serve the terms by Judge Roland Herrmann in 19th Judicial Circuit Court, Wood­ stock. The defendants were arrested March 15 by MeHenry County sheriff's detectives on charges of attempted murder, armed robbery, aggravated battery, armed violence and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. The charges stemmed from investigation into an armed robbery during the early morning hours of March 9 at Kristi's Pizza, State Park Road, Spring Grove, where two em­ ployees were attacked and robbed. According to police evidence, a male employee of the firm was beaten on the head and a female employee was threatened at knife-point. The injured man required hospitalization, police said. The men allegedly robbed the pizza restaurant of about $850 in currency. On April 8, the MeHenry County Grand Jury handed down a six-count bill of in­ dictment against the defen­ dants, who have been held in jail on bonds totalling more than $200,000 since their arrest. Grogan and Raynor both pleaded guilty to the armed robbery charges on a negotiated plea arranged by counsel for the defense and prosecution.
