Doneske said that police want the grand jury to subpoena material including the driving and medical records of Harasek, who lives in Westchester. Doneske said the hospital had taken blood samples from Harasek. A check of Harasek's driving record Sunday found only one arrest and conviction, for speeding in January 1989, the secretary of state's office said. Riverside police did not tell Harasek about the fatalities and injuries, but "I believe his family may have notified him," Doneske said. In addition to appearing before the grand jury, the police are continuing to interview witnesses and are working with State Police experts.

The dead children, all of Riverside, were identified by authorities as Colin Anderson, Holly Rizzi, and Ryan Womack, 8. Jacqueline Tuglus, 8, and Kevin Rose, were both in critical condition in Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, said spokesman Michael Maggio. Justin Glaredon, 7, was in serious condition and Andrew Vacek, 8, was in fair condition, Maggio said. Timothy Larmon-Keast, 7, was discharged Sunday, he said. Peter Wengerski, 7, was upgraded to good condition at La Grange Memorial Hospital, hospital spokeswoman Nancy Jacobus said.

Bruce Anderson, 43, the father of Colin, was in fair condition at Loyola and Michael Larmon-Keast, father of Tim, was treated at the hospital and released, Maggio said. AH the accident victims are from Riverside. The accident occurred as members of the Cubs Little League T-ball team, boys and girls aged 7 and 8 years of age, were preparing to bat in their first game of the season. In the game, a pole that holds the ball replaces the pitcher as batters hit the ball off the "tee." One player was in the batter's box and another was in the on-deck circle, said George biTGhaLLco. (eweuens When you come to Chicago to i immiiri- irnn imnnMm.mi ikkmiti mmm 1 1 mini he to sitting on an aluminum bench along the third base line, which is behind a chain-link fence to protect players from foul balls.

It was then that Harasek's Cadillac veered off Delaplaine onto Robinson and into the small park, s'triking the children on the bench, Doneske said. Gorajski was on the other side of the field, but he heard the sound of the car striking the curb and then moving across the grass. "He was going so fast," he said. "It wasn't 20 or 30" miles an hour, he said. "You heard it.

You turned. You saw it. He kept going and didn't stop," Gorajski said. "Then everyone was screaming." It was over in seconds, and Gorajski and other adults ran to help the children or to alert neighbors to call for help. The bodies of boys and girls were scattered all over the infield and into left field in the path of the car, Fire Chief Bednarz said.

He said he was the first public safety official on the scene. After surveying the injured and seeing three or four children who weren't breathing, Bednarz said, "I had to stay calm. "It's very difficult to keep calm" in such a situation, he said. He alerted Loyola University Medical Center to the severity of the injuries and reqested a helicopter. As paramedics began arriving, Bednarz said he guided them in their efforts to resuscitate children and to tend to the others whose injuries were not as severe.

Members of his department began receiving crisis counseling Saturday as soon as the last victim was stabilized, Bednarz said. The personnel must be ready to respond to the next emergency, said. And the department also began arranging for counseling help through Loyola for children in the Riverside public and parochial schools, he said. Doneske likened the counseling what children in Winnetka received after the Laurie Dann shootings. Counseling will also be available for parents.

Bednarz said, "Parents are having a much harder time."
