VIEW COUNTY LAND USE. HOUSING (Continued from page 1) agreement, which would result in sixty-four units being set aside for minorities. The minority clause was just one of several "hidden" agreements which Hinebaugh mentioned during his presentation.' He also told the audience that NIPC was not in favor of the Woodstock grant, and ex­ pressed that opinion, but that HUD approved the grant anyway. Presently, NIPC reviews and comments on all applications to HUD, although the federal agency does not have to go alon£, with the NIPC recom­ mendation. NIPC has been in disfavor with many city officials, in­ cluding those in McHenry, for some time. In answering an accusation that NIPC is trying to "run" local government, Wagner stated that his group acts only in an advisory capacity. One city official, not from McHenry, then noted that NIPC held up a sewer project for years, before the municipality finally had to sidestep the group to get the project done. The NIPC official promised the matter would be looked into. SON OF LOCAL COUPLE DIES IN HEAD-ON CRASH (Continued from page 1) life of a Wisconsin man riding in a car through the county. David M. Kiel of Sharon, Wis. was killed when the vehicle in which he was a passenger spun out of control on McConnell road and struck a tree. The driver of the car, Mark E. LaSarre of Crystal Lake, was listed in serious condition at Memorial hospital, Wood­ stock. Kiel was pronounced dead on arrival after being taken to the hospital by the Woodstock Rescue squad. In other holiday weekend accidents, James A. Molnar, a McHenry police officer, was taken by the McHenry Rescue squad to McHenry hospital for treatment of injuries sustained when his squad car was struck by another vehicle Sunday night at the intersection of Rt. 120 and Front street. The driver of the other vehicle, Kevin M. Shay, 3804 W. Millstream drive, McHenry, was ticketed for failing to yield to an emergency vehicle after the crash, which caused an estimated $100 damage to his car, and approximately $250 damage to the squad car. Shay stated he was south­ bound on Front street at 20 mph. He added that he slowed as he saw the traffic control lights were not functioning He added that he continued on, proceeding through the intersection. Suddenly, Shay explained, he saw the red lights of the squad car coming eastbound, through the in­ tersection. He concluded by saying that he applied his brakes, but slid into the squad car. Molnar stated that he was eastbound on Rt. 120 with his red lights operating, as he was answering an emergency call. He added that he began slowing upon nearing the in­ tersection with Front street because the traffic control lights were not operating. The officer explained that he observed that cross traffic and oncoming traffic were stopped, yielding to the squad. He then continued, but ap­ proximately 20-feet from the intersection, he observed the Shay auto southbound on Front street, not slowing down. He concluded by saying that he stepped on his brakes in an attempt to avoid the crash, but could not. Five persons were injured, but the McHenry driver and her passenger were unhurt, in a three-car collision on the Fox river bridge on Rt. 176 Monday night. Sharon L. Filip of 1106 Violet drive, McHenry, and her passenger, Leonard W. Olejarz, 3015 S. Riverside drive, McHenry, escaped injury in the accident which did little damage to Ms. Filip's car. The driver of the second car, Robert A. Huff of Wauconda, and his wife, Linda, were both injured and ..taken by the Wauconda Rescue squad to Condell hospital in Libertyville. The Huff automobile was demolished. The third driver involved in the collision, John G. Twist of Glenview, and two passengers in his car, 9-year-old Katherine A. Wallney of Crystal Lake and her brother, 6-year-old John, were all taken to McHenry hospital by the Wauconda Rescue squad. Charges against Twist are pending. Ms. Filip told police that she was eastbound on Rt. 176 on the bridge when the Twist car suddenly veered into her lane. She added that she attempted to avoid the car, but was struck on the driver's side. Due to the extent of their injuries, neither Mr. nor Mrs. Huff was able to give an ac­ count of the accident. Twist stated only that he believed he fell asleep at the wheel. Thomas G. Fiedler of 1807 Indian Ridge in McHenry was taken by the Johnsburg Rescue squad to McHenry hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in a one-vehicle accident early Sunday morning on Ringwood road, just west of Meadow Hill road. ^ Also injured in the crash'was a passenger in the Fiedler auto, Carye Krug of 1701 Nole, McHenry. She was also taken to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad. Fiedler was not ticketed in the crash, which demolished his car, and also caused an estimated $300 damage to cyclone fencing belonging to William P. Hagen, 5213 N. Westwood in Sunnyside. Fiedler stated to police that he was westbound on Ringwood road at less than 40 mph when something, possibly loose gravel, made him lose control of his vehicle. According to police on the scene, Fiedler's attempt to It's YOUR Money BY DONALD DALEY PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF McHENRY PENSIONS FOR HOUSEWIVES For the very first time, housewives qualify for the tax-sheltered retirement plans that have cushioned many a top executive. Thanks to the 1976 Tax Reform Act, the non-job-holding spouse (husband or wife) of an em­ ployee of self-employed per­ son who is not covered by a qualified retirement plan, tax- sheltered Annuity, or gover­ nment plan, can share in a tax-deferred retirement plan. Here's how it works. The em­ ployed or self-employed per­ son who meets the qualifications can set up an Individual Retirement Plan, putting in each year up to fif­ teen percent of his income (up to $1,500) and deducting that amount from his gross in­ come. Starting this year, the qualified employee can ALSO set up a separate IRA account for his non-working spouse. The amount he can deduct is raised to $1,750--but half the contribution must be made in the spouse's name. The tax deduction, and the allowable contribution, becomes one of the following (whichever is smallest): fif­ teen percent of wages; or $1,750; or twice the amount of the lower account (if the an­ nual contribution is not divided equally between husband and wife). In years to come, the added allowance for those setting up two ac­ counts is expected to rise. Key to the whole plan: the IRA account in the wife's name ($875 maximum this year) is hers. In case of divorce it remains hers. Working wives are not left out. Though they do not qualify for this new pension plan, they can start their own IRA plans, up to a full $1,500. If both spouses work, and make maximum, they can put away as much as $3,000 a year. The IRA accounts are tax- deferred, not tax-free. That means you can deduct the money you contribute from your current income, and you need not declare the interest on the account now. However, <when you take money OUT of theUteeunJ (usually after age 59'/>) you must pay taxes on it. At that time, when you retire, it is assumed that you will be in a lower tax bracket. recover from the skid appeared to have aggravated the situation, throwing the car back across the road, down an embankment, rolling the car overjwice, and finally striking the fence. Janice M. Weis of 104 Vernon drive in McHenry was not in­ jured Saturday night when her car left Lily Lake road and struck fencing belonging to the Illinois Department of Con­ servation. Ms. Weis was not ticketed in the crash,. which caused ap­ proximately $1,000 damage to her car, and also damaged about 87 feet of fencing. She stated to police that she was southbound on Lily Lake road when she braked and swerved to avoid a rabbit running across the street. She added that due to the wet pavement, the braking caused her, to run into the ditch and strike the fencing. Finally, John K. Madenis, 512 Lily lane, Lakemoor, was ticketed for failure to yield at a stop intersection, following a two-vehicle collision last week on Lily lane. The driver of the other vehicle, Jay P. Walkington of Addision, was injured in the crash, which caused an estimated $100 damage to each car. Walkington stated that he was westbound on Rt. 120 at approximately 30 mph when he saw the Madenis car partially pull out from Lily lane onto Rt. 120. He added that the car then began to back up. He attempted to turn his car right, onto Lily lane, to avoid the crash, but the left front of his vehicle struck the Madenis car. Madenis stated that he was stopped on Lily lane at Rt. 120. An eastbound vehicle waiting to make a left turn waved him ahead to go through the in­ tersection. He added that as he began to pull out, he saw the Walkington car, which was westbound on Rt. 120. 3-DAY COUNTRY ART FAIR TO OPEN JUNE 3 (Continued from page 1) strong and outstanding example of a difficult medium. Scratchboard is working with a sharp needle-like tool on a clay- surfaced board. Mrs. Miller's background involves many activities. As president and co-founder of the Northland Area Art league, she and other members of the league organized a mural barn painting project in 1976. Her own original painting is seen north of McHenry on Rt. 31, on the Miller barn. The newly renovated McHenry Public library has in its children's department original murals designed and painted by Mrs. Miller. These are a colorful and charming addition to the library. Another mural is at Hilltop school. An active participant in the Country Art Fair committee itself, she was co-chairman in 1973, and chairman of the 1974 fair. Over ninety-eight of her works are represented in many private collections and also several are in permanent public displays. The artist recently had the honor of being listed in the 1976- 77 edition of "Community Leaders and Noteworthy Americans." Painting for Chuck Janke, honored by the memorial exhibit, began as an escape from a high-pressure job more than ten years ago in Indiana. Encouraged by his wife, he sought instruction from an artist from Holland who lived in their area. These were his only real lessons and his only formal education in art. Janke's background was in engineering, which can be observed in the fine detail work demonstrated in his paintings of old barns, buildings and landscapes. He also created his own frames to fit the character of each painting, which gave them a distinctive quality. He had exhibited at the McHenry Art Fair for several years with much success. Proceeds of the fair are used to buy equipment for McHenry hospital. APPROVE DIAGNOSTIC LEARNING CLINIC (Continued from page 1) Special Education students at NIU with knowledge of LD children would come into the local schools to assist in their learning program. Three were suggested at each of the local schools, at no cost to the McHenry district." Kusch interjected his opinion that the clinic should be established as a three-year program, with agreement from the board. In a vote, all except Member Gary Lockwood voted in favor of the program. Lockwood explained that he was not op­ posed to the clinic idea but felt there should be more study before acceptance. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) The current statute carries about as much help for the hapless driver as some other bills under which we must carry on. It requires only that a covering be securely fastened, but it doesn't require that there be a cover in the first place. Since most collision or comprehensive car insurance doesn't cover minor damage caused by debris on the roadways, the owner usually finds he is unable to collect for it. There are probably few motorists who have not had the unfortunate experience of being caught in a situation where they are showered by sand or gravel, very often by a driver completely unaware of the occurrence. It happened to us as we drove a new car last fall, and highway conditions on Rt. 120, east of McHenry, made it impossible either to slow sufficiently to avoid the pebbles or leave the thoroughfare. Because of the extremely slow traffic flow, we joined others who suffered only, scratched chrome and paint. For the less fortunate, these predicaments sometimes mean that the driver loses control of his car or ends his ride with a broken windshield. For this reason, and because clearing loose, fallen materials off pavements causes con­ siderable expense for public highway and street main­ tenance, House Bill 1311 would seem to be a boon to the general public. It isn't only the individual driver who pays, it's the tax­ payer as well. KAF Alert Officer Arrests Wonder Lake Resident A Wonder Lake man was arrested for burglary and for driving while his license was suspended, and a companion was charged with obstructing justice following an incident last week on McCullom Lake road. Frederick Rades, 4705 W. Wonder Lake drive, Wonder Lake, was wanted for failing to appear in court for a previous offense of burglary when he was spotted by police driving an auto. Police turned around to pursue the vehicle, which then made an abrupt turn into a driveway and stopped. Upon arrival, police observed that Rades had fled, and his Schedule Emergency Meeting For Officials State Fair Stars Glen Campbell, Johnny Cash, The Captain and Tennille, K.C. and the Sunshine Band, the Bay City Rollers, England Dan and John Ford Coley, Charlie Pride and Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr., will entertain at the Illinois State fair grandstand this summer. There will be two shows nightly at the fair this year. Mail order tickets are now on sale. The fair will run from Aug. 11 through Aug. 21. A conference for public of­ ficials in McHenry county will be held Wednesday, June 1, sponsored by the McHenry County board at the McHenry county college cafeteria. It was arranged by the Public Safety Committee of the McHenry County board, through the County Emergency Services & Disaster Agency (ESDA) for the purpose of giving a briefing to the mayors, village presidents and their boards, city managers, township supervisors and local ESDA coordinators on their responsibilities before, during and after an emergency. It will advise them what help is available and how to get it. Ronald Morris, chairman of the Public Safety committee, cited the numerous times the county has experienced disasters such as flooding and tornadoes as the reason the committee felt a seminar of this type would be beneficial to the elected officials. The advance program in­ dicates the following people have tentatively been scheduled to appear: E.

With the arrival of assistance, Rades was found hiding in some grass, and was arrested for the original burglary offense as well as for driving while his license was suspended. Total bond for the two offenses was set at $21,000 for a June 7 court date. McMillan was arrested for obstructing justice because he allegedly misled officers in the direction Rades went when he fled the scene. Bond for McMillan was set at $3,000. ministration; Robert F.

James Rakow and John J. Shay, county ESDA coordinator. Reorganization Governor James R. Thomp­ son recently pressed for the merger of two executive departments and the reorganization of another in a special message to the Illinois General assembly. Thompson seeks to combine the depart­ ments of General Services and Finance into a "less duplicative" and "more ef­ ficient" Department of Ad­ ministrative Services. In ad­ dition, he seeks a reorganization of the Depart­ ment of Law Enforcement, including the combination of the state police and the Bureau of Investigation in one division. Tax Relief Senior citizens with rents of more than $139 per month or taxes over $500 per year would receive higher property tax rebates next year under a bill passed recently in the Illinois House of Representatives. House Bill No. 44, which was sent to the Senate after unanimous House passage, would increase property tax rebates to seniors and the disabled under the state's Circuit Breaker program. To provide the approximate ten million dollars necessary for the increased cash rebates without unbalancing the state budget, the bill prohibits late application for property tax relief starting next year, ac­ cording to Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr., R-Crystal Lake, a chief sponsor of HB No. 44. ™ FARMER'S ALMANAC COMPLETE ,„r „„„„ Of McHENRV MFNII INfl 385-8808 2 MILES NORTH menu AND ON ROUTE 31 PEEP DISH PIZZA MRRWTS ho' ENTERTAINMENT -4'0 TUES.
