And I HERALD ^SSSsm Ski-****** Help others while complimen ting Mom By Donna Santi Plalndealer Herald editor Within the next few days, millions of people will be putting pen to paper, signing a card or scrawling down a heartfelt line to dear Mom. But this year some area students are providing an alternative to the flower- laden "Thanks for being you, Mom" Mothers' Day card. It presents no real challenge to the booming sales of greeting card companies, but this card may serve a double duty: it will touch a warm spot in Mother's heart; and could fill the stomach of a starving child. Area teens are sellin locally-designed and printe Mothers Day cards at $1 each. The money collected from the sale -100 percent - will be sent to the "Save the Children" campaign, to be used to feed the drought victims of Ethiopia. The ambitious project went from idea to reality in just over a week's time. "Two ladies from the community/saw the "Save the Children" program on 20-20, and came up with the idea," says* Kristin Ort, Johnsburg High School student body president. "Our student ' council ct ana vot the printing iwnile pro; cover all charges." Johnsburg High School senior DeniseX Norton, quickly came up with design for the card and the high school graphics department printed up 3,700 copies. The cards are quarter- folded and in three colors. The front reads simply: "Mom means to much to so many." The inside is blank, for the giver's personal comments. The back of the card reads, "Save a child for a mother this Mothers' Day." The Johnsburg High School administration supported the project, but declined to have its students sell the cards door-to-door, or mail orders through the mail. Sothe student council distributed boxes of <- the cards to students at John­ sburg Junior High and the McHenry High Schools. Groups selling the cards in the neighboring schools (such as the McHenry High School Key Club) will collect their own money and make the donations to "Save the Children" in their own n^me. Ort could not estimate how well the cards would sell, but with 3,700 copies, that's up to $3,700 that could be raised for starving children. She urged those interested in purchasing a card to visit one of the participating schools. service group, ^hd we thought it was somethin nice to do," said Ort gives us a sense of helping someone who really needs the money." Schools may drop growing development from district By Marion Olsen Plalndealer Herald Newt Service Within the next few months, the McHenry Districts 15 and 156 school boards must decide whether to retain a growing housing development within its school district boundaries, or forfeit it to another district. The Fox River Shores Development is located in Island Lake, south of Route 176 and on the right side of the road going south. The developer plans 700 to 800 units of single family housing, most of which lays within the District 15 and 156 boundaries. Efforts of the developer, the Island Lake community and Wauconda District 118 are underway, to encourage the McHenry County Board of School Trustees to de-annex the property from the local school systems. It was noted that at present one student fr&n the develop­ ment attends a McHenry grade school and is bused six or seven miles to Edgebrook School.

By Angela Burden Plalndealer Herald Newa Service Two Cary residents, 30-year-" old Timothy J. Schleisman, and his 10-vear-old passenger, Stuart Sneppard, were fatally injured in a two-vehicle crash Friday night on U.S. 14 at Smitana Road near Crystal Lake. v Preliminary investigation by McHenry County sheriff's police indicated that a westbound vehicle driven by Ronald D. Snell, 26, of 6708 Rose Avenue, Crystal Lake, failed to negotiate a curve on Route 14 and the driver lost control of his car, which struck a guardrail, - crossed the center war of the highway and struck the ap­ proaching Schleisman car. Schleisman was pronounced dead at Good Shepherd Hospital, Barrington, and Sheppard was pronounced dead at Northern Illinois Medical Center, McHenry. Snell, the lone occupant of his vehicle, was taken to the Barrington hospital, as was another passenger in the Schleisman car, Skip Vinson, 10, of Cary. Vinson is listed in critical condition and, Snell in stable condition. Seth Vinson, 7, and Phillip Bono, 13, both of Cary, were taken to NIMC, McHenry. The ;er Vinson and Bono were in fair condition, ac­ cording to sheriff's police reports. They were both passengers in the Schleisman car. Schleisman was transporting the boys back home after they had been to a restaurant with his mar,--Tyrant!," who --war celebrating his 10th birthday. Mrs. Schleisman, Tyrone and other boys were in another vehicle. * Snell was charged with driving under the influence. Mosquito spraying okayed for areas not in McHenry Twp. By Anthony Oliver Plalndealer Herald staff writer servation (IDOC), which does not generally aUow insecticides McHenry residents living on the south side of the city in Nunda Township will also have some protection from this year's crop of mosquitoes as a result of action taken Monday night. The McHenry City Council voted to award a bid for the annual mosquito larviciding program to Protection Unlimited Inc., of Lake Villa, which outbid Clarke Outdoor Spraying, Roselle, by about $3,000. Mayor William Busse noted the city's participation in an agreement to cost share the program with McHenry Township. But, Nunda Township has no such program and so the city must contract to provide this service to south side residents. A representative of Protection Xjjnlimited Inc. pointed out that there were some abutting areas not in city limits which could prove to be excellent breeding sites for mosquitoes this sum­ mer. Unfortunately, much of the area inquestion is owned by the Illinois Department of Con- on its property. Aid. Elizabeth Nolan (1st) favored awarding the contract to Clarke Outdoor because of its 12-year history of providing service to the city, saying their familiarity with the city was worth the extra $3,000. Aid. Michael Teta (2nd) ad­ mitted the. successful history with Clarke Outdoor but com­ mented there was some "merit" in using the same firm which was awarded the township contract. , Busse noted that last year's program, which included lar­ viciding and spraying (adulticiding) only for special events, was one of the best in recent history. The motion to award the bid to Protection Unlimited Inc. passed 6-1. Nolan cast the dissenting vote and Aid. William Bolger (1st) was absent. In other business following a one-hour executive session, the council voted to "refine" a lease agreement with the RTA rail board for the use of the Chicago & North Western train station in MOSQUITO--Page 8 A GOOD MORNING!
