MOTHER, SON TO HOSPITAL IN TWO- AUTO COLLISION (Continued from pugr 11 Lake, was also taken by the McHenry Rescue squad to McHenry hospital for treat­ ment of injuries sustained in the crash, which caused ap- , proximately $2,000 damage to each vehicle. Mrs. Wiley s*ated she was traveling north on Rt. 31 at approximately 55 mph when she observed the Dodd auto stopped on Bull Valley at Rt. 31, facing west. Mrs. Wiley added that as she approached the intersection, the Dodd auto suddenly pulled out in front of her. She swerved, but could not avoid the ac­ cident. Ms. Dodd stated she was facing west on Bull Valley road at Rt. 31, and after stopping, she proceeded to the edge of Rt. 31, looked both ways, and pulled out into the intersection, where she was struck by the Wiley vehicle. Neither driver was ticketed. Patricia L. Schooley, 5219 Victor, McHenry, reported to McHenry police last week that while driving down Green street, someone struck her vehicle. Mrs. Schooley stated that an elderly man struck her car while she was driving north on Green street. She added that the offending vehicle was southbound on Green. She further stated that by the time she turned around and stopped at the station, the driver had left the scene, westbound on Rt. 120. The other vehicle may be a 1965-66 gray car, very dirty. Mrs. Schooley was not sure of the make of the car, and no license plate information was available. There appeared to be no damage to the Schooley car, except a dirt mark on the left side. It is unknown at this time if there was any damage to the other vehicle. Tamara DePasquale,' 814 Southgate, McHenry, reported to McHenry police last week that sometime while her car was parked in the Southgate apartment parking lot, someone struck her vehcile on the driver's side. Approximately $400 damage was done to her vehicle. Stanfiel P. Coss Jr., 7414 Salem road, Wonder Lake, was taken by the Wonder Lake of the McHenry Police department had been vocal in their request for three weeks of vacation after ten years of service rather than tile present plan. The committee will recommend to the full Council that city employees get three weeks of vacation after ten years of service, with a stipulation that one of the vacation weeks may not be taken between April l and Sept. 10. The present format calls for two weeks of vacation after ten years, with an increase of one extra day of paid vacation for each ensuing year of service. Aldermen Pepping and George Harker, along with non- committee Alderman Edward Datz, discussed the request for three weeks' vacation, with Datz voicing negative sen­ timents. "There's nothing wrong with the program you've got right now," Datz said. "You (Police Chief Ken Espey) won't feel the brunt of it until you come in here asking for another man because you can't handle it." However, examination of the McHenry Police department reveals only three men who will benefit from the third week of vacation. With the change of policy, if it is approved by the entire Council, the nineteen-man police department would be given a total of only nine extra days off this year, only six next year, and just three the year after. Besides the three present 10- year-men, no other man on the police force will be ap­ proaching ten years of service for at least three more years. Supt. of Public Works Fred Meyer suggested that anyone who works fifty-two con­ secutive work days without any time off, should receive one day off with pay--a type of at­ tendance bonus. That suggestion was rejected by the committee. The Finance committee will also recommend to the entire City Council that overtime be paid, when earned, to the Jieutenant of the Police department. Presently, the lieutenant, police chief, and superin­ tendent of public works are on a straight salary basis, and cannot be paid for overtime. The new policy would enable the lieutenant to earn overtime pay for special circumstances, subject to the approval of the police chief. The committee will also recommend to the full council Rescue squad to Memorial that city employees be given hospital, Woodstock, for treatment of injuries sustained in a one-car collision in the early morning hours Wed­ nesday on Hilltop road. The vehicle was completely destroyed in the collision, which also caused $350 damage to 30 feet of chain link fencing, five posts, and gates, all belonging to Norris F. Draheim, McHenry. Coss stated that while proceeding north on Hilltop, at the posted speed, he skidded and turned sideways on loose gravel while attempting to stop at the intersection of Hilltop and Algonquin roads. He added that this caused him to lose control of the vehicle as it continued to travel sideways, turning over as it went down the shoulder, and coming to rest in the private driveway. There was no ticket issued. Maria A. Heiser, 3104 Vic­ toria avenue, McHenry, reported to McHenry police last week that while her car was parked in the McHenry high school, East campus parking lot, someone did damage to the right rear door. Damage was estimated at $50. The driver of the second vehicle is unknown. The collision left a red-yellow paint mark on Ms. Heiser's door. one-half day off with pay for Good Friday. Presently, the policy of giving the afternoon off on Good Friday was handled differently by each depart­ ment. "I can go for one-half day off," Alderman George Harker said. "I can't see the whole day off," he added. Pepping agreed with the feelings of Harker, and thus the recommendation will be made to the full Council. The other committee member. Alderman William Bolger, was unable to attend due to a prior com­ mitment. The policemen had also asked the Finance committee to pay money for holidays not taken off on the first payday before Christmas. The com­ mittee will recommend that it be done, instead of the payment on Dec. 20. Also included in the check the first payday in December, will be money paid for the Christmas holiday. Previously, the Christmas holiday was paid the following year, if the em­ ployee who worked on Christmas did not take it off later on. Siiii on the subject of em­ ployee benefits, Pepping noted that, "currently, our part-time full-time' employees don't receive any benefits. They should receive some benefits as ANTICIPATE SURPLUS WAS IN COUNCIL'S NEXT BUDGET ns one who works n less than wenty (Continued from page 11 In what Pepping termed the "first view of the 1977-78 budget," beginning May 1, expected revenues are $1,153,118. The committee chairman then used figures based on department head recom­ mended budgets, and came up with total projected expense of $1,104,434, leaving a surplus for next year of approximately $49,000. The $49,000 surplus for the next fiscal year comes with the projected 7 percent salary • increase for all employees, but is dependent upon Council approval of the more than 150 separate items which go into the overall budget. There is also the city's portion of revenue-sharing funds, an estimated $80,000, w^hich still must be in­ corporated into the overall budget before the funds can be allocated. While the Finance committee did not develop any recom­ mendations concerning salary scales, it did discuss recom­ mendations of non-wage items and benefits. The patrolmen and sergeants Pepping said. Presently, the uniformed officers receive $125 per year for clothing, a figure which applies only to unifor­ med officers. The Council next Monday will hear a recommendation from the Finance committee that the figure be raised to $150, and that it still be paid in the usual way. That is, the officer pur­ chases the clothing, and then is reimbursed by the department. The committee will also recommend that the clothing allowance for uniformed females be raised from $70 annually to $75. With the conclusion of discussion. Pepping stated that another Finance committee meeting will be held next Tuesday night at 7:30. I "The big thing we hav£*t0 decide at the next meeting," Pepping said, "is salaries. Do we want to go to a percentage figure, or go to a fixed dollar amount," on salaries9 The answer to that important question will have to wait, at least for another week. Car Bursts Into Flames As Riders Exit At 4:40 p.m Monday, while patrolling northbound on Chapel Hill road at Johnsburg road, sheriff's police observed an auto pull to the side of the road and stop. As the occupants left the vehicle, the car interior began to smoke. The Johnsburg Fire department was summoned, but before their arrival, the entire interior of the vehicle, driven by Martin Rogde, 514 Rand road, McHenry, had burst into flames. Extensive damage was done to the auto before the fire was extinguished. DWI Charge Filed After Stop Violation At 11:55p.m. Sunday, an auto was observed by county police to disregard the stoplight at the intersection of Riverside drive and Rt. 120, McHenry. The officers followed the vehicle and succeeded in stopping it in Lakemoor, where it was discovered that the driver, Janet Hulsey, 112 W. Sunnyside, McHenry, was intoxicated. She was arrested for driving while intoxicated with bond set at $500. In addition, she was ticketed for disobeying a stoplight, with bond set at $25 for an April 4 court ap­ pearance. 1 Participate In Band Day Sue Granger, Patrick Ziebel, and Bryan Niedospial, take their rehearsal seriously in preparation for their contribution to Marian Central Band day March 8.

WE ARE NOW A ROBYI1 FACTORY DISTRIBUTOR defined regularly forty, but . hours each week The committee will recommend that on holidays, part-time employees should b; paid for the corresponding number of hours they would have worked had the office been open. For example, if an employee works twenty hours a week, he would be paid for four hours of work for each holiday off. An employee who averages thirty-five hours of work each week, would then be paid for working seven hours of work on a holiday. On vacations for part-time employees, the differentiation between the number of hours worked does not hold up. The committee will recommend that a part-time employee receive 50 percent of the vacation time allotted for a full- time employee. Insurance benefits will not be available to part-time em­ ployees, if the committee recommendation is adopted, as the city is trying to hold the line on ever-rising costs in that area.
