TWO GARAGES I 0> END HIGH SPEED CHASE BY POLICE (Continued from page 1) facing east in the southbound lane of traffic, on Crystal Lake road. Another motorcycle, ridden by Richard A. Clark, 28, of Kenosha, Wis., came over the hill and hit the Leckman bike broadside. The Crystal Lake Rescue squad transported both injured riders to McHenry hospital. Leckman was in intensive care and his condition listed as stable, but serious. Clark was listed in fair condition Tuesday morning. An investigation into the collision is being continued by the Sheriffs police- Frank J. Caponi, of 904 Wiltshire lane, McHenry, told police he was unable to remember how his car left Chapel Hill'* road and traveled into a field at 10:42 p.m. Sunday. The reporting officer found that the Caponi vehicle had traveled 50 feet in the wrong lane of traffic before leaving the roadway and traveling another 160 feet. Caponi was taken to McHenry hospital by the McHenry Rescue squad. He was not admitted. The driver of another auto and witnesses to the accident were unable to tell police how a car traveled off E. Wonder Lake road and struck a telephone pole. Witnesses said a car came out of the ditch, slid sideways on the roadway, traveled into the ditch again and eventually struck a telephone pole. The driver, Barbara L. Seefer, of 3115 Shady, Wonder Lake, said she did not know what happened. The accident occurred at 12:20 a.m. Aug. 23. A three-car collision on Walkup road near Crystal Lake, left one man with a citation for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident. John C. Spencer, of Crystal Lake, told police he did not have enough time to stop after the car he was following stopped in the roadway. Spencer received the ticket. In the middle car, Harold Humann, of 1101 Bonita, McHenry, said he was waiting for a truck to turn when the collision occurred. The Spencer vehicle hit the Humann auto which, in turn, struck a car driven by Cynthia H. Gunderson, of 7003 McCullom Lake road, McHenry. The Gunderson vehicle was pushed into a tree. Kyle D. Hileman, of Fox Lake, was ticketed for driving with unsafe equip­ ment after his car struck and broke a Commonwealth Edison pole on Lincoln road. Hileman told police he was approaching a curve when the left front tire cocked to the right. Hileman also said the shock absorbers were worn and there was a lot of play in the steering. A semi-truck was pulling into the weigh scales on Route 12 near Richmond when it had to slow suddenly for another truck. As the truck, which was driven by Dennis D. Maass, of Lake Geneva, Wis., slowed, the trailer was struck by another vehicle. The other vehicle was driven by Lorene E. Farr, of 1213 Hayden, McHenry. Sandra M. Pollock, of 1706 Court street, McHenry, was ticketed for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident when her car struck another auto at the intersection of Route 120 and River road last week. " Ms. Pollock told police she was driving east, looking at the signal, and saw that another auto had stopped The other car was driven by Paul W. Blim, of Rock- ford. James J. Kubalewski, of 8230 Gerson, Wonder Lake, was ticketed for failure to yield the right-of-way after a two-car collision at the in­ tersection of Fox Lake road and Broadway. Kubalewski said he did not see any traffic and started across the intersection when his car hit an auto driven by John G. Bleile, of 1811 May, Sunnyside. Wilhemina F. Nejedly, of 805 Barbara, McHenry, was ticketed for failure to yield the right-of-way after her car pulled out in front of Pric«s effective while quantities last.

MCC CAMPUS PICKET AFFECTS 3,000 STUDENTS (Continued from page 1) as professional, law abiding citizens. He added, "You don't negotiate when you're on a strike." Riner observed that the board had urged the teachers to remain reasonable and to continue working until a contract was worked out. Riner said the teachers had been told this during two earlier years of negotiations and had wound up with 2.5 percent increases with inflation much higher. This working while negotiating reduces their e f f e c t i v e n e s s ( i n bargaining) Riner claimed. Riner also noted that the MCC board had met in special session Sunday night and four members of seven appeared to face about 47 teachers and a number of other persons. Two mem­ bers of t' * board negotiating team were absent. The board, which had a quorum, went into executive session ®and then reconvened and instructed attorney Carroll to go to court for an in­ junction against the strike. Richard Fuhler, dean -of instruction for MCC, reported that the college was open in spite of the strike, but classes were being dismissed after assembling because of no instructors. He said administrators were checking each class to see if a faculty member was present. As of 2 p.m. no full or part time teachers had appeared for any of the classes. Fuhler said the ad­ ministrators would explain the problem to each class and then dismiss the students with advice to listen for radio announcements or look for newspaper reports about the status of the strike before reporting for their next class. He estimated, based on enrollment in the Spring, that about 3,000 students will be affected by this job action. He said students were being reassured that, depending on the length of the strike, they would complete their courses as scheduled. Fuhler noted the 10-day restraining order that had been issued that mor­ ning and understood that the association would meet as a group Tuesday morning to determine their course of action. Fuhler also noted that everyone involved in the strike had been orderly, and that the picketing was peaceful. Students were reacting well to the situation as the college administrative staff struggled with their inquiries and concerns. Striking faculty members noted that many students seemed supportive of their aims and action to achieve them with words of en­ couragement as they passed into the school building. Several students, when interviewed by the press, hesitated to comment, claiming they did not know enough about the issues to say anything. One said she had been attending college for several years and believed the teachers were not getting a fair deal. However, she had no com­ ment on the job action and its effect on her.

Nevertheless, the world of the past 30 years places more and more emphasis on succesttyl/" ftbdy. It's technical, complex and competitive^ and because it is, education becomes the best investment not only for the students but also for adults of any community. Treating the school year ahead as a challenge can make education exciting. At this writing on Monday, another challenge is being met by McHenry high school teachers and board mem­ bers. The challenge is serious. Underlying a solution is the problem of money. It is a simple one. Teachers say the raise offered to them will not nearly take care of in­ flationary facts of the times. The board says there is not enough public money - the money we pay in taxes - to increase the offer made without putting the operating budget in the red. This is a challenge, indeed, for the two sides to reach an agreement. So as young folks, sometimes reluc­ tantly, accept a challenge of books, their teachers and board members will do the same in the area of economics. Good Luck to all of them. K.A.F. Unique Problems James Rakow, county superintendent of Highways, and Thomas Huemann of Johnsburg, McHenry County Transportation committee chairman, will be guests when the McHenry County Municipal association holds its next meeting. The subject of the men's talk will be FAP 430 and other county projects. V ' i ^ Mayor Kuhn and the City of Woodstock will host the meeting Wednesday, Aug. 27, at the V.F.W. clubhouse in that city.

Sideways curvature of the spine-or scoliosis-affects more than half a million teenage children in this country, but scoliosis can be controlled if it is detected early, says a new, free brochure published by the Easter Seal society. Scoliosis is one of the most common spine disorders affecting adolescents. It afflicts girls five times more often than boys, and is most apparent in children bet­ ween the ages of 10 and 13, when rapid growth takes place. Although the cause of scoliosis is unknown, recent studies indicate that it may be inherited. The Easter Seal brochure, part of Easter Seal's year- round campaign to prevent physical disabilities, con­ tains a quick and easy home test for spinal curvature. Using simple drawings for illustration, the brochure advises parents to look for these five signs of scoliosis in their children. 1< Is one shoulder higher (or lower) than the other? 2. Does one shoulder blade protrude? 3. Is there more distance between the arm and the body on one side than mi the other? 4. Is a C- or S-curve pat­ tern visible on the back of a child who is slender? 5. Has the upper back shifted to one side? If the answer is yes to most of these questions, Easter Seals recommends that the child be checked for scoliosis by the family doctor. When scoliosis is detected early, there are excellent therapies to halt progressive curvature and even correct an existing curve. If scoliosis continues unchecked, it can lead to a permanent deformity which threatens t h e i n d i v i d u a l ' s psychological well-being and may also cause serious adult health problems. The quick and easy test for scoliosis is available free of charge from your Easter Seal society for McHenry county. Hold Conference On At Schools Land Preservation With the start of a new school year, School Districts 15 and 156 have been con­ fronted with a new and unique problem.

As a result, district of­ ficials are seeking volun­ teers who speak Laotian or Korean to assist in tile tutoring of these students. Interested parties should contact Ron Jania, 385-7210, of District 15 and Dennis Welter, 385-1145, of District 156 for assistance.
