Outstanding performance in academic achievement was the criteria used for the selection of these students: j Aruna Ann Lahoti.

Any nominations should be submitted to Bill Dodds, chairman for Kiwanis Student Recognition committee, at McHenry East campus Faster Carpool Matches By Commuter Computer The Chicago Area Transportation Study's (CATS) "Commuter Com­ puter) hotline-793-RIDE-has started an emergency schedule permitting faster carpool matches. A list of potential carpoolers will now be sent to any individual the day after he or she calls the hotline. In response to the region's growing transit crisis, the 793-RIDE line has been staffed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. wery week day since May 21. The average daily number of persons calling the Commuter Computer recently has risen to over 200. Campames also are calling in for specialized help in establishing carpools for their employees. Well over 10,000 names are available for mat­ ching. CATS began the hotline more than a year ago, and has had particular success in working with business groups in Chicago, Schaumburg, Cicero, Elk Grove Village and Des Plaines. Until now, the processing time for carpool matching applications was one week. The next-day turn around now available represents an increase in staff and computer time in an effort help residents of northeastern Illinois - I^ake McHenry, Cook, DuPage, Will and Kane counties - prepare for the threatened shutdown of Regional Transportation Authority service. Persons calling 793-RIDE are asked to.give their names, horafe and work addresses, and work schedules. Generally CATS tries to match persons who live and work within one mile of each other and start work with a given 15-minute period. For those seeking to carpool because of the transit emergency, the location and schedule criteria are somewhat more flexible. If additional transit service is shut down. CATS will open more phone lines so that carpool match information can be given out even more quickly.

She said ttrere.were positions on the Plan commissioiHvith terms having expired six months ago. but they had not been reappointed. Nina Keen, president bf the McHenry Shores Citizens for Better Government, asked Grimes what happened to the list of names of citizens interested in ap­ pointments to the city commissions. At the meeting, for instance, was Mrs. Crouch, whom. Ms. Keen said, bad indicated her willingness to serve. " Grimes said he couldn't recall receiving a list from Ms. Keen, but turning to Mrs Crouch, he advised her, "You're appointed." Ms. Lillegard. somewhat irate, told Grimes. "Hold on now. J3et all the names together and do it at the board meeting next week. Grimes, subdued, said, "You're right " Ms. Lilegard also tackled another problem. "Are you going to be the representative for the village at the Municipal league (mayors and presidents)?" Grimes aid that he did not intend to attend since he believed that the Municipal league was not geared to meet the needs of tiny municipality. It had no relevancy for McHenry Shores. Ms. Lillegard disagreed and em­ phasized the importance of every city and village in the McHenry county using its weighted vote in the selection of members of the Northeast Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) because of trade-offs in approvals in federal ®rant applications and other benefits.

FOIL DECEPTION OF McHENRY WOMAN (Continued from Page 1) scams The chief noted that the gypsies tend to move north during the warmer months and have been known to operate in northern Cook. Lake and McHenry counties. The groups move into a residential area and offer to repair roofs and driveways, paint houses, trim trees, do auto body work, or represent them­ selves as utility company employees in order to gain access to a home. A common practice is to show a picture identification card which, when seen for a split second, may lead a homeowner to believe the man is working for one of the utilities. The gypsies have been known to tell the resident that there is a water leak somewhere in the neighborhood and to go in the basement. While the homeowner is in the cellar, the gypsies rummage through the house and steal what they can In other operations, the gypsies have represented themselves as employees of the gas company delivering a refund. Presenting a large bill and asking for change, the gypsies will note where the homeowner keeps his money. A disturbance elsewhere in the house usually follows and, while the homeowner is occupied, another gypsy steals the money. According to Pasenelli, the gypsies also fix driveways and roofs, leaving a presentable appearance until the first time it rains Tree trimming is also a popular scam, with the gypsy charging a mdest fee for the service. Later, the unfortunate homeowner is told that the fee was per branch, not per tree In the auto body repair scam, the gypsies will drive around the city, looking for dented automobiles. After locating one. and its owner, the gypsies will tell the owner they can fix the car at a very reasonable price. Later, they may say the work was very com­ plicated and charge an exorbitant fee If the owner refuses, the gypsies may embarrass and intimidate the person by threatening to call the police or take legal action. In one case, where an elderly car owner refused to pay. the gypsies left the home, after replacing the dents in the car. Pasenelli urged any residents who are confronted with these, or any type of suspicious activity, to call the Police department.

We drew the attention of everyone on the road as we drove across town for help, with signals indicating both directions at the same time. Mr. Edgar suggests exercising the eyes while driving on long trips, but that's exactly what makes our passengers nervous. We do just what he says. We look at objects near and far. left and right, and some of our friends won't ride with us because we do. He also advises switching statipns if the radio music becomes too dreamy What - oh what - has Mr. EdgSf<been listening to*' After leaving the Chicago area there was only one type of music on the two stations available and both were rock. That should keep anyone awake. Drivers. Edgar cautions, are subject to "highway hypnosis", especially on expressways This, he explains, is brought on by monotony - the sound of the wind, tires on the pavement, or the steady hum of the engine. Poor highways are the answer. We were on one that looked smooth but had all the grating of Grandma's old wash­ board and even prompted us to pull off the road to check tires. But let us not complain or someone will decide to raise our taxes again!
