Folks To Fun Detention Procedures Doubtless many residents were shaken a bit by news of the bombs made by East campus high school students, made public in our Wednesday issue. Reading a detailed report of the confession of the boys in­ volved, outlining their future plan of operation, might have put even more fear in the average reader, particularly persons not close to schools and their young people. Possibly the confession contained a bit of boasting. When a boy gets caught and faces disciplinary action, he could reason that he might as well make the most of a bad situation. This is not the first time bombs have been made, even within our own school system. And nation-wide,it's something that is being done every day in hijackings and among restless groups who feel they can't afford to wait for change in an orderly fashion. L Students read papers too, and watch TV. So regardless of how distasteful and frightening^^e local incident should not have been too much of a surprise. In no way minimizing the occurrence, we believe it is the 1972 version of actions con­ sidered to be spiteful pranks years ago. Dependirife on your age, you can name them yourselves as you recall the bully or problem kid in school. True, the situation nation­ wide is getting out of hand. Nevertheless, school and police authorities tend to have a way of catching up with this kind of harassing vandalism and the guilty young people are usually punished. What has long bothered us even more is the lack of resepect shown by many, many others regarded as ""pretty good kids". They are the girls and boys who make a good appearance, are getting by in their subjects and are generally regarded as average. Indeed they are average, for someone at home has never taught them the meaning of the word "respect". A few days ago we were driving down a street in a neighboring city and were approached in our lane by three ^girls about 14 years old. They 1 stretched from curb to center line, and continued until we had brought the car almost to a stop and then proceeded into the other lane. There were no smart aleck smiles - the girls apparently just didn't know that well mannered people display respect for the rights of others. How many times has this happened to you? Or have you ever waited at a stop sign to make a turn, only to find these young folks assume the slowest gait possible to cross in front of you? The right is theirs - there's no denying (Continued on page 7) On Tuesday, Sept. 26 and Wednesday, Sept. 27, twenty- one police officers representing nine municipal police depart­ ments, including McHenry, participated in a seminar in Detention Procedures, spon­ sored by the Bureau of Detention Standards and Services of the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Other police departments represented were Woodstock, Harvard, Crystal Lake, Cary, Fox River Grove, Hebron, Algonquin and Lake- in-the-Hills. Included in the class was Kenneth P. Espey, police chief of McHenry. The program was moderated by Fred L. Finkbeiner, training coordinator for the Bureau of Detention Standards and Services, who also acted as an instructor.

Open House During Fire Prevention Week Captain Jack Pierce of Company 2, Johnsburg, an­ nounced that the men of his station will hold an open house in conjunction with Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 8 through 15. The event will be held at the Johnsburg station beginning at noon and con­ tinuing until 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 8. Fire fighting equipment and vehicles will be on display, with firemen available to answer any questions. In addition to the open house, the firemen of Company 2 will inspect the three Johnsburg schools and hold fire drills at each. The county board, in the month's second meeting Tuesday night, approved a tentative budget in the amount of $3,491,376 for the General fund. With anticipated ex­ penditures amounting to $3,591,376, the board faces a deficit of $100,000 at the end of the next fiscal year. To recover this money, it was agreed that it is necessary for a special Mapping department to be established. A committee which will study mapping problems of the entire county was named, including Board Chairman Walter Dean and Chuck Weingart of McHenry. They will look into the operation of similar districts in adjoining counties. Establishment of this new Mapping district will allow the board, by law, to levy about $100,000 and thus balance the budget. Township highway levies were approved, listing final figures as submitted by in­ dividual township highway commissioners. The three highest are Algonquin, $278,700; McHenry, $173,116 and Nunda, $120,000. The tentative county highway fund levy for 1972-73 was slightly increased, set at $762,320. A final vote will be made in November. A levy for the Matching fund was approved in the amount of $250,100, and for the Bridge fund, $119,300, both only ten­ tative. Motor Fuel tax estimate from the state is $1,083,800. In regard to the budget, the board accepted the report of the Fees and Salaries com­ mittee on allocations to departments for salaries as follows: Auditor, $33,532; County Board and Liquor commission, $90,200; Building and Zoning, $57,624; County Clerk, $41,432; Elections, $5,000; Circuit Clerk, $108,350; Circuit Court and Jury commission, $25,367; Court Services, $122,767; Public Defender, $29,650; County Coroner, $15,020; Public Health Home nursing, $76,526; Public Health Environmental $41,405; Veterinarian and Rabies Control, $37,956; Regional Planning commission, $65,493; Recorder of Deeds, $49,891; Sheriff, $759,710; Court House and Office Operation, $51,450; State's Attorney, $150,948; Superintendent, Educational Services Region, $18,066; Supervisor of Assessments, $24,855; Treasurer, $81,853 and Valley Hi, $311,000. Linnea Hadlock of District I expressed concern over the need for an additional sanitarian in the Health department. It was explained that last year's budget had allowed for employing this extra help but a sanitarian was never hired. This year the Fees & Salaries committee felt the board could not afford the expenditure. Edward Buss, who heads the Finance committee, pointed out that in taking a vote on the matter, it should be remem­ bered that the cost would not only be $12,500 for salary but a car at $3,500, plus secretary's service and office, bringing the total cost to between $20,000 and $25,000. A vote resulted in thirteen members opposed and ten in favor. After the vote, Buss added that if more funds become available through revenue sharing, the committee will be glad to recommend hiring an extra sanitarian. County Coroner Theron, in looking at the budget, asked, "Why am I being discriminated against?" Member Thomas Huemann, chairman, noted that the Finance committee had discussed the matter of raising the coroner's salary, but felt this service was the least necessary to the county. In defense of Ehorn, the Rev. Marx Jones of District I said he knew the McHenry county coroner to be more efficient than others in the area. He then cited a particular case which convinced him of Ehorn's capabilities and attention to duty. Still concerned with the budget, Ms. Hadlock questioned about the sums allowed for the various county departments and how these were determined. It was explained that it was a question either of establishing a priority or using the com­ mittee's judgment as to which departments were in greatest need. The former was ruled out, which left the committee dealing with each department on the same level. Pursuing the subject, Ms. Hadlock said she wanted the information so that if the federal revenue sharing bill passes Congress, the county will know which are the greatest needs. Buss stressed that every department is important. Some account for more revenue, he continued, and this money must be used to defray the expenses incurred in other departments. "We must allocate according to our best judgment", he concluded. Salaries of department heads were approved as recom­ mended by the Fees and Salary committee: Auditor. Circuit Clerk arid (Continued on page 19) * Three Burglaries In Community Investigated Honor Medical Administrator reckless conduct, purchase or acceptance of alcoholic liquor by persons of non-age, speeding and improper lane usage. His bond was set at $2,550 with court appearance scheduled for Oct. 30. The arrest resulted Saturday afternoon after deputies heard yelling from a south-bound vehicle on Terra Cotta road, Crystal Lake. As the vehicle came into view, two youths were seen hanging from the side of the auto and another was seated on top. It appeared they were holding beer cans in their hands. Fearing someone would be hurt, deputies started in pursuit of the vehicle and as they crested a hill, saw the auto stopped alongside the road with all occupants outside the car. As the squad approached, the youths got into the auto and sped away at a high rate of speed, swerving from one lane to the other. Deputies suc­ ceeded in stopping the car as it approached the intersection of Route 176. A passenger in the vehicle, James Egan, 19, of 2342 Win- nemac, Chicago, was arrested on charges of purchase or acceptance of alcoholic liquor by persons of non-age and disorderly conduct. His bond was set at $1,025, with court hearing scheduled for Oct. 30. Two other juvenile passengers from Chicago were given notices to appear for purchase or acceptance of alcoholic liquor by persons of non-age. Saturday morning about 1:30, deputies observed an east- bound vehicle at the corner of Routes 120 and 31, fail to heed the stop light. They pursued the car which crossed the center line several times before it was stopped at a service station. It was found that the driver, Dennis Amundsen of 17W037 70th street, Clarendon Hills, was intoxicated. He was arrested for driving while in­ toxicated. Bond was set at $400 and he will appear in court Oct. 16. Friday night about 11:30, deputies observed an auto parked along Hillside road, Crystal Lake. Investigation revealed four occupants were (Continued on page 19) Mattco Associates of 3309 Chapel Hill road, Johnsburg, motion picture producers, reported Monday morning that sometime during the night their premises were burglarized. Offenders entered the building through a window and removed cameras and lenses valued at about $30,000. The Detective division of the Sheriff's department is continuing the investigation. Lawrence Kunkel, 210 W. John street, McHenry, reported that sometime Wednesday night or early Thursday morning a tape player, with a speaker and six tapes, were taken from his auto while it was parked in his driveway. An eight-track tape player, two speakers and about ten tapes were removed from a garage at the Kent Thomas residence, 2610 S. Thomas court, McHenry. The theft took place after midnight Monday. Orrin Pfefferkorn of 5105 N. Westwood, McHenry, reported the theft of a girl's 16-inch bicycle from his residence sometime Saturday. A neigh­ bor said he was awakened by the sound of a car door and when he went to investigate, saw someone loading the bike into the trunk of a vehicle. The bicycle was described as a 16- inch turquoise and chrome Headstrom model. (Continued on page 19) HARRY N.DILLON Harry N.

Beauty In Eyes Of Beholder The beauty of this scene is apparent to the photographer flying high above the waters of the Fox river, near the McHenry State dam. However, it is hardly shared by the many residents who reside along the watery thoroughfare which has overflowed its banks in many places in recent weeks. At the top of the picture can be seen the state park and dam; in the center, the locks and tree-covered island now inundated; and in the foreground, the boat locks.
