Jones was not ticketed in the crash, which caused more than $100 damage to his car, and caused approximately thirty dollars damage to a wooden fence belonging to Les Krieger, Richmond. Jones stated he was west­ bound on E. Solon road at approximately 60 mph, and he was passing another vehicle. He added that the vehicle being passed started to veer over toward his car. He said he veered toward his left, and in doing so, left the roadway. He further stated that he rode his vehicle along the shoulder for a short distance, then got back onto the roadway. When he returned to the pavement, his car spun around and struck the wooden fence on private property. Jones could not give a full description of the other vehicle, other than it was light in color. Gale L. Botian, Woodstock, was ticketed for failure to yield the right of way following a two-car collision last week at the intersection of Front street and Main street. Neither Ms. Botian, nor the driver of the other vehicle, BRobert J. Hromec, 1611 N. Pleasant avenue, McHenry, ^ was injured in the collision, which caused more than $100 damage to each car. Hromec stated he was nor­ thbound on Front street, and was approximately 100 feet south of the Front-Main in­ tersection, when he observed the Botian car stopped at the stop sign at the southwest corner on Main. He added that the Botian car then started across the in­ tersection, and pulled out in front of him as contact was made. Ms. Botian stated she was eastbound on Main street, and stopped at the stop sign. She added that she observed the Hromec auto ap­ proximately 200 feet south of her. She said she started to cross the intersection when the Hromec car, at a high rate of speed, made contact with her. Jo A. Combs, 3511 E. Wonder Lake road, Wonder Lake, was not injured when her car collided with a gas pump at the McHenry Quick Mart, 4502 Rt. 120, McHenry, Sunday af­ ternoon.

Space For Tomorrow Seminar is Scheduled if ANDY WICKLEIN The quality of living in McHenry county in 1997 depends largely on plans made today. Are you aware of the land use situation in McHenry county? Do you know how long our water supply in McHenry county will last? By 1997 will all of our green land be converted to shopping centers, sub­ divisions and other facades of a highly urbanized community? How can today's children inherit an environment in which they can live in comfort? What can be done to protect the quality of the McHenry county environment? For the answers to these questions one can attend "Space for Tomorrow". The p r e s e n t e n v i r o n m e n t a l situation will be explained. There will be slides of this area He explained that he and a friend were standing west of the parked car about twenty feet when he observed Becko strike his car from the rear. "I observed my car airborne about one foot, and crash into a grassy area about twenty-five feet from the impact point." Hahndorf explained "We ran to Becko's car to see if the driver needed help " concerning land use priorities. There will be time for questions and discussion. Presenting this seminar, Andy W i c k l e i n , C o m m u n i t y Resource adviser with the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service, will preside to conduct program and answer questions. This seminar will be given twice. 1 and 7:30 p.m., March 23. It will be held at the Farm Bureau facilities on 11909 McConnell road, Woodstock. For more information, contact the Extension office, 338-3737 or 4747. This program has no charge and is open to all McHenry county residents. It is sponsored by the McHenry County Cooperative Extension service. e Defective Light Costly To Driver Having only one brake light working proved to be costly to a McHenry resident Friday, with the driver eventually being arrested for driving while his license was suspended. Lawrence Rodriguez, 509 Maplewood, McHenry, was arrested, after being stopped at the intersection of Rt. 120 and Green street by an officer who was going to warn him about the taillight malfunction. Rodriguez was released on $1,000 bond with an initial court appearance slated for April 18. Boxwoods should be plant­ ed in early spring-just as soon as the ground thaws for easy digging in cold areas. New red potatoes (some are white) will appear on the market in March.

TIIWCARpets l l U h R U G S 200 WASHINGTON ST./WOODSTOCK, ILLINOIS/815-338 1000 Mon.,Thurs.,Fri. 8-9; Tues.,Wed.,Sat. 9-5; Sun. 12-5 ...And still the senior citizens wait...and wait...and wait. But they won't have to wait much longer. Monday night, at the City Council meeting, the city's senior citizens will make one more request for a portion of revenue-sharing funds. And at Monday's meeting, expected to be attended by a substantial number of senior citizens, the aldermen will be required, by a preset timetable, to make some decision on whether or not the senior citizens will receive a portion of the revenue-sharing money to be put toward financing a walk- in center. In fact, the Council will determine Monday exactly how the approximately $80,000 the city has in revenue-sharing money will be spent. Receiving a yes or no answer from the Council Monday will be more than the group has received thus far in a similar request to the McHenry Township board. Wednesday morning, Marge Jones, director of the McHenry county Senior Citizens society, and an estimated fifty senior citizens met with Supervisor Walter Dean and one other board member, to discuss the funding request. After Ms. Jones had presented the group's request, Dean explained that the full board would discuss the matter and make a decision at the April 15 board meeting. Any funding the senior citizens receive, however, could not_be attainable until July 1, when the new fiscal year begins. Dean explained that there is no money available for the present fiscal year. Ms. Jones explained that if the group receives funding from the City Council, plans for an April 11 opening at the Moose hall would proceed as planned. If the city gives no money at all, or chooses to wait until the Township board decides on funding, then the opening date may be delayed. The senior citizens have come up with a proposed budget request of $7,750, with the ideal situation being for the township and the city to each pick up one-half of the funding t h r o u g h r e v e n u e - s h a r i n g allotments. Since the city's fiscal year ends April 30, and the aldermen must determine revenue- sharing allotments Monday night, some senior citizens feel the township is taking a wait- and-see attitude toward fun­ ding (i.e. see what the city gives and act accordingly). The hope for a walk-in center for the senior citizens, located at the Moose hall on Rt. 120, now rests in the hands of the city. Ms. Jones is concerned that the city might also take a wait- and-see attitude, thereby delaying the proposed opening of the walk-in center. The center, if opened, would be a place for senior citizens of the area to meet, play cards, and socialize. Eventually, the center would supply lunches for persons who normally wouldn't be able to afford a hot meal. But that is in the future. For the present, the senior citizens can only wait...and wait...and wait. Courthouse Squares DID YOU KNOW? J ERNEST THOMPSON M SETON t r WAS ACTIVE IN FOUNDING ̂ THE* BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.
