Roger A. Rairie, 4502 Park- •way, McHenry, in his statement, said he was east- bound and had the green light. He pulled around on the right of another car driven by Reynold N. Palma, 1303 Decorah, Ingleside, who was trying to , make a left turn onto Riverside. David R. Parejko, 2207 Fern- 'view lane, McHenry, said he ;had the green light also and was trying to make a left turn to go south on Riverside. As he made his turn he was hit by Rairie, who then backed up and hit the side of the Palma car. Damage was minor to the vehicles involved, but the accident served to tangle the rush hour traffic for a time. At 8:30 p.m., three vehicles clashed at 3400 N. Route 31, as one driver was unable to stop in time to avoid a collision. James R. Leisten, 3110 Riverstream drive, McHenry, was ticketed for that offense. Leisten told deputies he was driving south at about 50 mph when he saw the tailligits of a stopped vehicle driven by Carol E. Austin, 276 LaFayette lane, Hoffman Estates. He said he braked, but when he could not stop, he swerved to avoid the Austin vehicle, clipped its right rear, went off the road into the ditch and back partly on the road where his car hit a third . automobile driven by Edward S. Heyward, 1204 N. Riverside, McHenry. Heyward explained that he was stopped in traffic. waiting to turn left, when his automobile was struck. No injuries or tickets were reported and the severest damage, estimated at $500, resulted to the Leisten car. Another collision on Route 120 was reported when a polite trucker gave way for a left turner to cross in front of him, and that motorist was, in turn, hit by a third vehicle passing the truck on the right. Lennox F. Armstrong, 203 S. Emerald drive, McHenry, said he was eastbound and was trying to make a left turn into the lot of the Bath shop at 3012 Route 120. A driver in the westbound lane stopped to let him cross over and his car was hit by a vehicle driven by Claire L. Noonan, who had not noticed the truck stopped in the east- bound lane. No injuries were reported. A belated report of the ac­ cident investigation unit in­ dicated that one driver may have blacked out in a collision at 2:15 p.m. Nov. 8. Cars driven by Eleanore L. Schlottman, 219 N. River road, McHenry, and by Patricia A. Diedrich, 1218 S. Blackhawk, McHenry, collided headon at 1109 N. River road. Ms. Schlottmen said she was driving north on River and did not remember what happened. Ms. Diedrich told officers she was southbound and saw the other car coming at her and could not avoid the collision. The reporting officer noted that one of the drivers had a medical problem. No arrest tickets were issued. Ms. Schlottman was tran­ sported by the McHenry Rescue unit to McHenry hospital. Ronald G. Wiegman, 4702 Garden Quarter, McHenry, was ticketed by McHenry police following a one-car accident at 10:55 p.m. Nov. 11, on Chesterfield drive. Wiegman was charged with failing to give information after hitting private property. Police alleged that his car struck two trees and damaged the lawn at 4717 Chesterfield in the amount of $200. Wiegman admitted in his statement that he was driving eastbound and misjudged the curve in the road, went on the grass and hit the trees. He said he then panicked and left the scene. However, police were able to trace his vehicle and associate it with the indident, the report indicated. One of two boys walking along Ringwood road , north of McHenry, was struck and in­ jured by an automobile at 6:40 jp.m^Jast Wednesday, ac­ cording to the.McHenry County Sheriff's department.

Johnson,•111 Nippersink, McHenry, the driver of the vehicles said he had just crested the hill and saw the boys on the road. He braked but was unable to avoid hitting DeCaro. The boys said they were just walking along the road when DeCaro was hit. No tickets were issued. Police were searching for a hit-and-run van after a collision at the intersection of E. Crystal Lake avenue and Pingree road, at 5:06 p.m. one evening last week,' according to the McHenry County Sheriff's police. Peter J. Baumgartner, 2012 Parker avenue, McHenry, advised that he was, driving west on Crystal Lake'avenue, when a van, northbound on Pingree, pulled out while he was still in the intersection. Baumgartner said he speeded up to avoid the crash, but was hit in the left rear. The van did not stop, but sped off north. Deputies said that an ISPERN message was broadcast with no immediate result. Damage to the car was estimated at over $100, but no injuries were reported. A surprise meeting with a road barricade caused Emma E. Kauffman, 308 Pleasant View drive, of McHenry to leave Fox Lake road, north of Bunny avenue, and tear up the underside of her car on a retaining wall, according to the McHenry Sheriff's police. Ms. Kauffman told deputies that she was southbound about 11:15 a.m. when she en­ countered the obstructions on the road. She said she braked and lost control of her vehicle. It slid across the road into the driveway at 5712 Fox Lake road, went over the low retaining wall onto the lawn of the residence. Damage was reported to three fenders and the un­ dercarriage of the car. The lawn was also torn up. No in­ juries were reported. Wayne M. Bush, 3011 Charlotte avenue, McHenry, told deputies that he must have fallen asleep at the wheel when his car ran off Mason Hill road last week. His car was demolished when it hit two trees, but no injuries were reported, deputies said. Bush was eastbound at about 8206 Mason Hill when the mishap occurred. APPROVE DEVELOPERS' CONTRIBUTIONS (Continued from page 1) passes a law addressing the problem of existing lots, which have the same impact on city services, and have its con­ stitutionality tested. He said McHenry could pass an or­ dinance based on the implied authority of the health and welfare principle. This would- be an amendment to the building code. Narusis said he planned to submit a proposed ordinance in several weeks that would address this problem along with that of apartment units in commercial buildings. As the Council approved the contributions ordinance, Mayor Stanek pointed out that this was a landmark move, and they were not ripping off the developers, as some com­ munities are. Alderman George Harker and Vincent Adams moved for the passage of the bill, and the Council approved with no further discussion. Alderman Schaedel asked, in connection with the| pre- annexation agreements and the new ordinance, if the developer left before the subdivision was completed, who would pay the contributions. It was noted that the homebuyer is the eventual payer. The tables for contributions indicated the following requirements: for single family houses: 3 bedrooms or less, $400 for schools, $400 for parks, and $100 for a total of $900; 4- bedroom house, $500, $500 and $125 for a total of $ 1,125; 5- bedroom house $700, $700 and $175, total $1,575. Contributions for apart­ ments: 1 bedroom unit, $25 for schools, $180 parks, and $50 library, total $255 ; 2 bedrooms $150, $300 and $75, total $525 ; 3 bedrooms $260, $390 and $100, total $750. C o n t r i b u t i o n s f o r townhouses, row houses and quadriplexes: 1 bedroom unit $0 for schools, $180 for parks, and $50 for library, total $230; 2- bedroom unit, $75, $300 and $75, total $450; 3-bedroom unit $225, $575 and $100, total $900. The ordinance is to take effect immediately upon its passage, Narusis noted. Mayor Stanek advised that several plats were being considered for approval and this new or­ dinance would be effective in time to be operative for these developers. County Driver Takes Nap In Traffic Lane A Harvard man was found asleep in a car with the motor running in the westbound traffic lane of Barnard Mill road, near Ringwood, at 2:25 a.m. Saturday, according to the McHenry county Sheriff's police. The man, identified as Michael Mesina, 19,8607 Ferris road, was charged for DWI and. was bonded out at $1,000 for a' court appearance Dec. 1. Of­ ficers claimed that he appeared to be intoxicated. Later, a stripped 1977 Ford pickup trtfck was found abandoned at W. Wonder Lake road, and White Oaks road, near Wonder Lake. The red vehicle was minus the doors, fenders, seats, hood and other parts and accessories. The shell was removed and police are trying to trace the owner, officers reported. The truck was presumed to be stolen. Nov. 17 D'Day Pledge A pack-a-day smoker who quit today could pocket $150 to $200 in a year just for cigarettes not smoked. But that's just the beginning according to Mrs. Frank Gregory, spokesman for the American Cancer society's Great American Smokeoufc^ "Viewed with the eye of an accountant, "she said, "cigarettes make a poor in­ vestment. We're urging Illinois Holiday From Cigarettes smokers to pledge a holiday from cigarettes Nov. 17. Mrs. Gregory listed some of the financial inducements to quit smoking. The cash cost of the medical expenses and shortened earning careers for those with cigarette-caused disease can be enormous. There are insurance benefits, too, for the non-smoker. Several insurance companies offer special reduced rates to non-smokprs One. Farmer's Insurance uroup ot Los Angeles, discovered that non- smokers had one-half to one- third as many accidents as smokers. Several explanations have been offered. Smokers are distracted as they light up. Squinting against the smoke affects vision. So non-smokers were rewarded with lower insurance rates. Many life insurance, com­ panies pay non-smokers for their longer lives with reduced rates. Burns in carpets, upholstery and table tops are expensive nuisances to the smokerkA much grimmer statistic was listed in a Reader's Digest article. Nearly $100 million ih property is destroyed each year in fires by smoking. An average of 1,800 Americans die in those fires.
