/ PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. MAY If. It7€ THREE CHARGES AGAINST YOUTH FOLLOWING CRASH (Continued from page 1) Hanahan was not hurt in the crash. Jeffrey R. Beringer of 5124 W Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, missed a turn at the intersection of May avenue and Mayfair drives, Sunnyside Estates, in the fog Sunday morning about 2:15. His car traveled into a vacant lot, causing damage to the under carriage of the auto. Charlotte J. Tom of 4505 W. Wonder Lake -road, Wonder Lake, escaped injury Sunday morning about 4:15 when she apparently fell asleep, ran off the roadway and hit a tree. The accident took place at the in­ tersection of Howe and Greenwood roads, west of Wonder Lake Dawn E. Westgard of 417 W. Dowell road, McHenry, swerved to avoid hitting an animal* that ran in front of her . car in the 1900 block of Lily Lake road Friday evening and lost control of her auto. The car left the roadway and landed in a ditch. She received minor injuries but did not request transportation to the hospital. Karen A. Petty of 437 S. Main street, Wauconda, was not hurt last Thursday morning about 12:40 when her car overturned on River road south of the McHenry Dam entrance. According to the report, Ms. Petty was north-bound on River road when she failed to negotiate a curve and lost control of her vehicle. A roll-over accident on Greenwood road, west of Wonder Lake, Saturday morning about 2:10 resulted in no injuries to the driver, Frederick M. Bowers of 5420 W. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake. Bowers was north-bound on the roadway when he fell asleep. His car left the road, hit a mail box post, recrossed the road and rolled over on the east shoulder, where it came to rest upside down. Last Wednesday afternoon a pickup truck collided with a farm tractor in the 7200 block of Bull Valley road south of McHenry. No one was injured in the accident. Elmer E. Eckart of 7719 Bull Valley road, McHenry, was traveling west on the road when he came upon a slow moving farm tractor driven by Timothy A Malsch of 5311 Barnard Mill road. Ring wood As he went to pass the tractor, it turned left into his path and they collided. Malsch said he made his turn without first looking behind him POLICE CHASE ENDS IN ARREST OF TWO PERSONS (Continued from page 1) open liquor in a motor vehicle, unlawful possession of liquor and criminal damage to property. His bond was set at $2,050 Both are to appear in court May 18 Deputy Glenn Olson observed a vehicle being driven south on Deepcut road *with no rear license plate light. He at­ tempted to stop the auto at Route 14 but it continued north. The deputy saw the driver exchanging places with the center front seat passenger before the vehicle was stopped. At that time, it was discovered the driver was a juvenile. Open liquor was also found in the auto, resulting in the charges. 50 VOLUNTEERS IN CLEANUP OF FOX DAM AREA (Continued from page 1) south of the dam--shoreline and flood plain--was cleaned. Because of muddy conditions at Nippersink, the McHenry County Defenders were unable to clean that area. This entire week is Stream Cleanup week, and all are urged to participate. DISTRICT 156 FACES PROBLEM OF WITHDRAWAL (Continued from page 1) pected of a normal functioning individual. Emphasis of the program is training in self-help activities preparing students to perform home and school tasks. Readiness tasks of a pre- occupational skills program are also introduced. N Adult students are given on- the-job training, along with work activities center training. Action by the board became necessary when it appeared evident recently there would be no state funding for Special Education. SEDOM tuition is $250 a student and the district has seventeen eligible students However, it was the ad­ ministration recommendation that the tuition free summer school be offered only to the one level of students, of which there are nine in this district. It was noted that the current Special Education Contractural Services budget will have an excess of $2,400 at the end of this fiscal year The board approved for­ mation of a Title IX committee for the purpose of completing a self-evaluation report in compliance with necessary guidelines. The committee's work will be in the areas of compliance with recruiting and hiring procedures; available district job descriptions; present staffing ratios; in- service programs; grievance procedure and student academic and co-curricular programs. Title IX is aimed at discrimination. Allyn Franke, District 156 attorney, was present to discuss issues relating to the District 12 unit district at Johnsburg. He answered questions regarding division of assets and tenured teachers, among others. Clyde Leonard, director of the Alternative high school located in the former white house kindergarten building on Waukegan road, presented a report on the progress of the school in its first year. Leonard told of the processes involved in providing this school for dropouts and potential dropouts. Interviews are conducted and letters sent home to parents explaining what is expected of the students. Many .courses are not in­ cluded in the curriculum, which focuses on learning as it per­ tains to daily living. The students are encouraged to become involved in business life and they enter into learning contracts. The school stresses that when a student completes a contract he receives a certificate, but this will be denied anyone who fails to live up to that agreement. Leonard said strict rules are necessary, and those who won't study are asked not to enroll. Richmond Man Charged With Reckless Conduct Anthony Gurski of 8109 Route 31, Richmond, has been arrested for reckless conduct, unlawful use of a weapon and no firearm owner's iden­ tification card. He is being held at the county jail pending a court date on May 20. At 11 o'clock Saturday morning, deputies were called to the residence of Joseph P. Sepanek of 8109 Route 31, Rich­ mond, when it was reported Gurski was threatening the~ occupants of Sepanek's house with a gun Upon arrival, Gurski was taken into custody by deputies and Richmond police while he was walking along the shoulder of the highway near the scene of the threats. . County police related the incident apparently was the result of problems between Gurski and his landlord, Sepanek. SPLASHING...Pretty and playful, Midhelle Dufay en­ joys a balmy day in the surf at Miami Beach. The people who smile often have more friends than the peoole who frown. There are twenty-six students this year, and Leonard hopes to increase this number to between forty and fifty next Fall. The program is funded by private trusts administered by a Chicago bank. The director has been invited to speak at the University of Indiana because of the fine reputation of the local school. FENCE SALE Save 15 % Wards handsome cypress wood stockade fence. 28s5 6X8-FT.

Costumes, lighting, dancing and acting are closely related to the musical numbers to present a complete musical sequence. This work is guaranteed to be remembered for a long time. Your Garden Leave the foliage on Spring flowers such as hyacinths, narcissus, daffodils and tulips for as long as possible when flowers finish blooming says George Young University of Illinois Extension-Adviser. Next year's bloom depends on the amount of food the green leaves can produce for storage in the bulb. When leaves are removed too soon, the number and size of the flowers the next year is often reduced. You can help keep the foliage green longer by occasionally watering the plants, especially those plants located close to foundations, in a windy spot or under an overhang where moisture is limited. Adequate moisture should carry the foliage through to late June or early July. Cut off the foliage only after it has turned brown and dried up. Divide and replant your bulbs immediately after the foliage has dried up. Or dig the bulbs carefully and dry them for two or three days in a shady spot. Then store the bulbs in a cool, dry place until October or early November and replant them in their new location. Unless you . have the facilities for drying and storing bulbs properly, it is best to replant them im­ mediately after dividing them. If a soil test shows low fer­ tility, apply bone meal to the bulbs during late summer or early fall when the roots begin to erow. Window On Future The American Revolution i Riots, Violence and the Revolution t by Jon Butler Between the passage of the Stamp act in 1765 and the signing of the Declaration of Independence in° 1776, American patriots used many instruments to signal their opposition to Parliamentary legislation for the colonies. One of them was the riot, an in­ strument patriots learned could be used for other ends as well. Although we know how Americans mobbed stamp sellers and burned their effigies throughout the countryside, we know less about the common patterns of their riots. One important fact about them concerns their leader­ ship. Colonial protest crowds frequently were called "black coated mobs" because somber men led them-prestigious men who long had served on town councils and country courts. Thus, the British governor of Massachusetts, Thomas Hutchinson, described those who ransacked his house in 1765 as "decently dressed" or "disguised with trousers and jackets on" and ridiculed at­ tempts to pin the violence on Boston's "rabble." American Revolutionary riots seldom were spontaneous, either. Rather, they were systematically used by colonists well-trained in a special variety of English political thinking linked to something called the "Whig theory of resistance." Developed by English politicians long out of power at home-the "Whigs"-- these Bar Association Announces Free Publications The Illinois State Bar association announces the availability of several publications for the public which were published recently, some of which are free. Many of the publications explain the legal rights of citizens or provide other helpful in­ formation. Eleven public information pamphlets are available, single copies of which are free. They cover the following topics: adoption, what to do after an auto accident, advice for newlyweds, buying a home, buying on time, joint tenancy, know your lawyer, one's rights if arrested, the importance of a will, starting a business, and lawyer referral. Other free publications are notions suggested that since "sovereignty" - ultimate political authority - resided in the people, the people possessed the right to forcibly resist government commands that violated the British con­ stitution. Thus, however strange it seems, colonists could see their riotous behavior as legal and even necessary because they intended it to overturn un­ constitutional legislation. Colonial rioters also seldom behaved like mobs. They acted less like wild men, more like disciplined agitators. Protestors against the Stamp Act, for example, attacked selected homes, destroyed limited amounts of property and fell back before causing bodily injury or death. This behavior was related directly to the purpose and theory that guided their action. Led by respectable heads of the community, they sought to overturn legislation, not society. Yet violence also overran these conservative limits. Other rioters struck out at society itself. Seamen and "mechanics" in Boston, New York, and Philadelphia not only demanded an end to stamp taxes and impressment into the British navy, but sought political rights long denied them by the wealthier, respectable men who were leading the more modest riots against Parliament. Even the "Whig theory of resistance," especially un- sophisitcated, popular versions FBI Joins In Search For Bank Robber The F.B.I, is cooperating with Algonquin police in searching for the man who held up a teller in the Algonquin State bank Monday morning and escaped with several thousand dollars. A white male described as between 30 and 35 years of age, wearing a blue denim outfit and blue hat, walked into the bank about 10 o'clock and stood in "Estate Planning Problems of a Farmer," a booklet, "Real Estate Broker-Lawyer Ac­ cord," a pamphlet, and "A Brief History of the Illinois State Bar Association," a booklet. if Introducing the heat pump. Scientists have known for centuries that the air around us is a storehouse of heat energy. But it's only been in recent years that they were able to de­ velop an efficient way to tap that abun­ dant resource--the heat pump. Today, it is the only commercially available heating system that provides an answer to shrinking supplies of other fuels. How the heat pump works: Basically, the heat pump moves heat from one place to another. It uses elec­ tricity to extract heat from a limitless source--the heat in outdoor air. During winter, enough heat remains in the air-- even on the coldest and cloudiest days-- to be extracted by the pump and trans­ ferred indoors as clean, flameless heat. And during warm weather, the process automatically reverses, removing excess indoor heat and humidity like an air conditioner. Better efficiency. In short, the heat pump does the job of both a furnace and an air conditioner. But there's an important difference. In northern Illinois the heat pump can produce more than 11/2 units of heat energy for every unit it consumes. That's better efficiency than any other current heating system. That could mean signif­ icant long-term savings on heating costs. To get the full advantages of the heat pump, it's important to get a quality product, properly installed and reliably serviced.

After 1783 they could be used against the new American govern­ ments. Thus when Daniel Shays led a farmers revolt against Massachusetts courts he didn't speak about Whigs. But he did speak about the sovereignty of the People, and so scared the old Revolutionary leaders that they hurried to create a federal government to end what they believed a misuse of their own violent past. In later decades, much American violence paralleled the "conservative" riots of the Revolutionary epoch. It was what the historian Leonard Richards calls "Gentlemen of Property and Standing"- lawyers, doctors, and clergymen, not radicals or students--who dragged abolitionists and freed slaves through northern streets in the 1830's and 40's. Yet having sanctioned violence through their own behavior, these men, like their Revolutionary forefathers, often cried "riot" when strikers, blacks, and newly- arrived Catholic workers agitated for changes that would indeed have altered society. Such complaints were unfair, of course. But given the tangled, complex nature of the Revolution, neither they, nor the many-sided uses for violence, should have surprised 19th and 20th century Americans.

As he approached the window, he pulled a blue steel revolver and demanded the teller to collect money for him. The intruder left through a rear door and fled in a Mercury Cougar car later found to have been stolen in Naperville. He abandoned the vehicle about a block and a half from the bank and left the area in a Ford Mustang, found sometime afterward in Elgin, the city in which it had been stolen. The Algonquin chief of police had no other details at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. • A Sony Lot Judge--When you married him you promised to share his lot, didn't you?
