He claimed the City Council had been the biggest offender.

Officer Kobert Zujewski pointed up internal problems by stating he had been on the department four years and had "never seen such back stabbing or cut throat tactics" as there had been in the department in the last year and a half. He said, "you can't even turn around without somebody writing you up for something." Sgt. Gregory Burg agreed and added that no officer can work at his full capacity out there on the streets when he fears any little mistake will be written up by a fellow officer and "you will be sent before the chief or the commission." At this point, Officer James Molitor walked in on the meeting and asked to speak. He said he hadn't heard all the conversations but "I know who one of the men you are talking about is because it is me." "I will say this and I have told the chief. I have apologized to the chief," he declared. "If the attitude of this department has been that I have been standing behind anyone out on the streets waiting to write them up, that's not right." Molitor said. "I agree there are a lot of problems out on the streets without worrying about those in here. I told the chief if he sticks to what he said I will stand behind him and help him run the department," Molitor concluded. Sgt. Daniel Kinnerk remarked that, "everyone now is trying to do the right thing. When these proposed rules and regulations are established. We should be able to go right through the chain of command and handle any grievances right in this department. I COMMUNITY AUTO SUPPLY 3021 W. RL 120 Mchenry. III. Ph 385-0772 really think this thing can be cleared up now," he said confidently. It was brought out that Sgt. Gregory Bliznick and Patrolmen James Crawford had resigned from the department this month. Lt. Kranz expressed the opinion of departmental personnel when he asked that every effort be made to get Sgt. Bliznick back into the department. "The whole command feels very bad that Sgt. Bliznick left, Kranz advised. "He got caught up in all this junk that is going on down here. We need ex­ perienced men on the depart­ ment now," he commented. Earl Murray, chairman of the Police Commission board, said he would check his records and confer with Attorney Narusis on the matter. At the next commission meeting on Dec. 3, he will inform them of his findings. In the meantime, Murray asked Bliznick, who was in the audience, to speak for himself. Bliznick related that he quit because of all the trouble in the department. "It was not the chief, the command or other men, it was those two guys," he emphasized. "When patrolmen start telling the sergeants and command what to do, something's wrong. No matter what you did, it was wrong," Bliznick said. He intimated that the two patrolmen were now coming back and apologizing because they know their jobs are on the line. He said they had gone to different places and asked for jobs but were refused. "Myself, I wouldn't come back to this right now," Bliz­ nick vowed. "Maybe in a year or so I would put in another application but not right now." Alderman Laverne Hromec commented that after listening to all that's been said, she thinks the Council should only act on what is brought before it and not get involved with police matters. Police personnel applauded her remark. At the start of the meeting, Arnold Rauen of the Police Pension board said he was disturbed "at this apparent attempt of the tail wagging the dog in the police department." He felt that the Police com­ mission should in no way get involved with the ad­ ministration of that depart­ ment. Rauen was with the city when the Police commission and Police Pension boards were formed and they were instructed in the duties of each CROPS SOLO.. MONEY'S IN...

The Police commission was to "hire, fire and discipline and not get involved in ad­ ministration." "We have had curbstone lawyers come in with law books under their arms and try to tell us what the law is. Policemen should use their time doing police work and not be lawyers," he emphasized. (Rauen was referring to a recent City Council meeting when Officers Kunzer and Molitor approached the Council with law books in hand.) Rauen commented on a recent article in the newspaper which said that Murray had stated prior to his appointment to the police commission, no police officers were ever sworn in. "That's an unmitigated lie," Rauen declared sharply, "that police officers in this city were not sworn in, because they were. 1 was a justice of the peace for twenty-five years here and I swore in almost all the police officers that Earl Walsh didn't swear in," he stated. "In fact, I swore in the chief." Murray replied that he didn't appreciate having his integrity questioned on this. "There was not a signed oath of office in the files of any member of this police department when I was appointed to the commission," Murray retorted. Rauen said that may be, but that wasn't the statement in the paper. Murray replied he wasn't responsible for where the press got their information. (The article in the Plaindealer was taken from a written report presented by Murray at a Police committee meeting Nov. 11.) Murray then declared, "This Police commission has never done anything that was not prescribed by law or authorized by the City Council. The commission was appointed as a grievance committee and sat in on many, many meetings with that in mind and came back to the Council with these mat­ ters," he said. Alderman Jack Pepping, chairman of the Police com­ mittee, related that in all fairness, it should be pointed out that some of the Police commission's recent in­ volvement came about by directives from the City Council. When the Council came to recognize its mistake, the Police committee of aldermen was restored. Espey reported to the Police committee that he and his command officers, along with Patrolman Robert Winters, had VIEW INSERVICE TRAINING PLANS (Continued from page 1) the skills and update the knowledge of all personnel who are engaged in patient care," said Miss Behan. "Mrs. McKillip's talent, background, and interest in organizing these learning experiences will benefit both our personnel and our patients." Mrs. McKillip resides in Crystal Lake, with her husband William, and her six children, Mary, 16; Bob, 15; Teresa, 13; Ann, 12; Sue, 11; and Marti, 8. Regarding the goals for the Staff Development program, she says, "The central ob­ jective of Staff Development at McHenry hospital is to provide total nursing care through continuing education programs for all nursing service per­ sonnel. "This will in turn stimulate growth and develop capabilities in each individual so that they may function ef­ fectively in caring for patients." £ INVESTIGATION IN BURGLARIES OF TWO HOMES (Continued from page 1) $30 in quarters and some jewelry from the bedroom. Later, many other items also were discovered to have been stolen. Included among the articles were a woman's watch with 12 diamond chips on the numerals, a jade necklace, an antique diamond stick pin valued at $75, a gold pocket watch, 75 years old, a self­ winding watch valued at $200 and two men's wrist watches worth $175. Sgt. Daniel Kinnerk, who is investigating, dusted for fingerprints but said Tuesday morning there were no leads. Neighbors failed to see anyone obtained a copy of the Rolling Meadows Police department rules and regulations and were in the process of revising them for use in McHenry's police department. The men arranged to meet with City Attorney Bernard Narusis to check the legality of the proposed new rules and regulations.

It was felt it would be two years before classes could be held on the new campus. Dr. James Davis, president of MCC, reported that the Citizens' Advisory council had met several times and was in agreement that "we need more money but the problem is how much and when". Davis was instructed to try to obtain a definite recom­ mendation from the thirty- three-member council before the regular December board meeting. In other business. Dr. Davis informed the board that in order to get a lab room for the photography course, owners of the building agreed to ex­ change lab room space for Dr. Davis' office. Therefore, ad­ ditional office space is needed for the three top administrators of the college, Dr. Davis, Vice- President John Garrett and Business Administrator Nat Pohl. They are to be out of their offices by Dec. 1. Dr. Davis had been searching the surrounding areas in Crystal Lake in an attempt to locate reasonably priced office space for rent. He said all available areas on the interim campus were being used for classrooms. The board objected to having the top administrators in of­ fices off the campus and in­ structed Dr. Davis to look into the possibility of using steel buildings on the interim campus site. He was also told to check the possibility of pur­ chasing a mobile home which could be used for office space and located on the campus site.

A letter received from Robert H. Walter, city manager of Crystal Lake, seemed to in­ dicate to trustees that the city was backing down on its verbal commitment made to Dr. Davis and Gerald Smith at a City Council meeting. They said the city was in agreement that a contribution would be made toward college sewer con­ struction costs. Trustees felt it should be made clear to the City Council that the college is putting in a $25,000 lift pump which is practically a gift to the citv.
