INC Wednesday, March 2(^ 1985 3 5 C E N T S INDEX County sheriff's detectives and the detective unit of the Fox Lake Police Department. The charges stem from an armed robbery at Kristi's Pizza Place, 6817 State Park Road, Spring Grove, early on March 9. Two employees were attacked and robbed at knife-point. The offenders reportedly fled the scene with a large amount of money. Two suspects arrested Dan Curran, chairman of the Legislative Advisory Council,' states, "We are pleased to present a second opportunity for the Mayoral Candidates to present their views and goals, as well as the opportunity for the aldermanic and administrative candidates to have a personal encounter with their constituency." Questions for the candidates will be accepted at the Chamber office at 1257 N. Green St. and-or at the candidates' night itself. Questions for the mayoral debate will be selected prior to the debate itself, however, and the mayoral debate will be limited to the response to those questions. Two men are being held in the McHenry County Jail on charges connected with the March 9 armed robbery in Spring Grove. Scott M. Springer (also known as Scott Raynor), 20, of 39224 Jackson Drive, Spring Grove, is being held on $170,000 bond on charges of attempted murder, armed robbery* aggravated battery, armed violence and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. Dana J. Grogan, 17, of 38701 N. Route 59, Lake Villa, is being held on $235,000 bond on charges of attempted murder, armed robbery, armed violence, aggravated battery and con­ spiracy to commit armed robbery. Both suspects were arrested over the weekend as a result of a joint investigation by McHenry By Robert Gordon PUindealer Herald staff writer With the election day of reckoning looming closer and closer, the three mayoral candidates are trying to realize their goal by making signs, distributing pamphlets, in­ vesting in billboard and newspaper ads, and spending most of their spare time with the voters. But it takes some hard work to canvass for the office of mayor. "Where I've really noticed the difference is obviously evenings and weekends," Alderman William Busse said. "There just isn't any free time at home. We're always thinking about the campaign from the break of dawn until late in the evening." Both Mayor Joseph Stanek and Alderman Frank Mc- Clatchey agree that it takes time, but like Busse, they said meeting with the people of McHenry and listening to their concerns is the most important part of campaigning. Busse said he has probably visited approximately 2,000- 2,500 homes so far; McClatchey estimated he's hit 450 houses and Stanek guessed his people have knocked on about 1,000 doors. Stanek is the only one of the three candidates who has a campaign manager. He said Alderman William Bolger has been his "valuable aid, and he's done the type of government we've had." McClatchey said he has three or four "key people" helping him, and Busse said that he has a campaign committee that comprises 16 people. He also has block captains in his campaign organization. All of the candidates have been making extensive ap­ pearances at small group meetings, and informal get- togethers, as well as the large public debates. To finance their bid for election, the candidates have approached the campaign in similar styles. They all said they are trying to keep expenditures to a minimum. if a candidate invests $1,000 or more into his campaign, he must file that information with the state board of elections. Stanek has already filed; McClatchey said he plans to in the very near future, and Busse said his goal is to keep expenditures under $1,000, "and I think we'll make it." "So far, I've kept a low budget," McClatchey said. "A lot of the things nave been donated, like the car-top signs." McClatchey said 30 of nis large signs are old painted-over doors.

School District of the aftd 156 transportation department say they want no part of a class action lawsuit that has been filed in circuit court Against their employers. "(The suit) gives the wrong opinion/' stated Sharon Price, a wis driver. "It makes it look like we're all suing them and the transportation director is terrible." - Nearly a dozen other drivers and mechanics besides Price, have signed their names to a statement saying the courtroom squabble involves them in "raise representation," adding that they "do not condone the lawsuits of four employees on the tran­ sportation department." The drivers disagree with wordage jn the "class ac­ tion" stoit, which names t h r e e e m p l o y e e s specifically, Marlane Gurske, Cheryl Wright and Donald R. Wendt, in ad­ dition to "all similarly situated transportation fees," and members of the transportation association union.

LAWSUIT--Page 3 Head Start preschoolers meet community friends Tots from the Head Start Program in McHenry took a little trip around their neighborhood last week, without even leaving the building. One of the favorite units of study during the year for the youngsters is "Community Day." Attention is focused on the business and professional members of the community and their contributions toward the welfare of the local citizens. Teachers assumed the roles of various business and professional people, and through "visits" to the doctor's of­ fice, post office, pizzeria, ice cream shop, theatre and beauty shop, the children hopefully learned to appreciate the relationship they have with the community. The Head Start Program, also known as the Community Action Agency for McHenry County, is a federally-sponsored program which provides developmental services for low- income pre-school children. In McHenry County, Head Start services 161 children in three centers, including those in McHenry, Crystal Lake and Harvard.
