SECTION Z- PAGE 4 - PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY. MARCHM. 1177 Village of McHenry Shores Jude La Francis 385-5067 Thirteen Can Boast Adequate Drug Knowledge The regular monthly meeting of the Shoreline club was held Thursday. March 17. at the village hall annex. In keeping with the new policy of guest speakers, etc, Sgt Conley from the McHenry county Sheriff's office displayed various drugs and showed a film on drug abuse A question and answer period began and ended the meeting. Sgt. Conley discussed programs on information for parents and young people on narcotics and their damaging effects on the human body. This was a most informative and worthwhile meeting. We were alternately shocked, relieved and shocked again as the various questions were answered for us concerning drug abuse among young people. Those in attendance left with a new grasp of the problem of drug abuse. Sgt. Conley graciously gave his time to help parents and other interested people learn about narcotics and drug abuses. Many residents ex­ pressed interest on this sub­ ject; however, only thirteen people were present to hear Sgt. Conley. Where were all of you interested' people? It's difficult to arrange these worthwhile speakers; it's disheartening to provide good programs when the people do not support them. The next meeting of the Shoreline club is Thursday, April 21. Business meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. (not 7 p.m. as previously stated) and the make-up demonstration begins at 8 p.m. ROAD REPAIRS Road repairs on Beach and Broadway are about to begin. The village board gave the President, Rose Lillegard, full authority to spend the money to fix the road as soon as possible. This will be a permanent repair. Cost to the village will be around $6,000. As you can see, good roads are a most valuable luxury. All new stop signs and speed limit signs are here. These new signs are the reflector type, and they meet the state's standards for road signs. They will be installed when the weather improves. REFUSE IN RIGHT-OF-WAY Old rugs, chairs, and other extra garbage does not belong in the right-of-way. It is up to the homeowner to notify the refuse company the Friday before Monday mort ing pick­ up that extra garbage will be put out. If this extra garbage is not picked up by the refuse company Monday morning, please dear it away from the right-of-way. Refuse does not belong in the ditches or in the right-of-way. ICC HEARING UPDATE A continuance of the ICC hearing regarding the proposed water rate increase has been scheduled for 11 a.m., April 26, Tuesday, at 160 N. LaSalle street, on the nineteenth floor At the last ICC hearing, March 17, Mrs. Lillegard, village president, spoke on behalf of the village of McHenry Shores and asked that the rate in­ crease be in abeyance until the water company negotiates a franchise with the Village of McHenry Shores. It was brought out at the meeting that the water company had used the 1975 calendar year as a test year for figures to justify the rate increase. It has since been changed to reflect the 1976 calendar year for its figures. (1976 was a boom year for building in the Shores with forty new homes hooked on to the present water system.) The water company has also amended its tariff to reflect the new rate structure it submitted at the hearing. The new proposal calls for dropping the $4.50 service charge while maintaining the $5 per month minimum charge for water use. The proposed gallonage charge would also remain. Three women from the village accompanied President Lillegard to the hearing. Mrs. Aide, Mrs. Leurssen, and Mrs. Sanford testified as to the % FgOM THE Ffi/EfJPLY LOCAL ft £ TAIL COM* <ITT££ Of YdJf$ Ffi/£NPLY LOCAL M'HBMYAREA CHAMfef? cf COMMERCE. EASTER.

Renters' Dreams May Go Up In Smoke It may be cheaper for singles and young families to rent a house or an apartment instead of trying to buy a place of their own. But, the Insurance In­ formation institute says, the advantages of renting over buying could literally go up in smoke if a rented dwelling isn't protected by property and liability insurance. It's important for those who rent homes or apartments to understand their loss ex­ posures. For example, even though a landlord may have insurance to cover the building or complex, that insurance would not usually provide either property or liability protection for tenants. Nor would it provide for defense or settlement costs or pay medical expenses if someone were injured in an accident in a rented home. An example of the confusion surrounding a tenant's liability for damage and-or injuries arising out of an incident in a rented dwelling is illustrated in one case of a kitchen grease fire. The tenant was heating grease in a fry pan when the grease ignited. The resulting fire demolished the apartment kitchen. Repair costs exceeded $700. The landlord had in­ surance to protect himself from fire loss, and the careless chef thought he, too, would be covered under the owner's insurance policy. Instead, a court held the tenant liable to the landlord for the repair costs. Why? Because the tenant's careless cooking started the fire. His negligence could as easily have destroyed more than just the kitchen of a single apartment, and the careless chef could have been liable for thousands of dollars in repairs to the building as well as for fire losses suffered by neigh­ bors in the apartment complex. Renters also need bodily injury liability protection. If a guest trips and breaks a leg or if a visiting child crashes through a glass door, a lawsuit could result. A television repairman bitten by the family pet, or a delivery boy who slips on the welcome mat could endanger a young family's financial security for years into the future. Tenant-homeowner in­ surance plans are available to protect renters from the oon sequences of accidents in their homes and to provide protection against fire or theft of their personal property. Liability insurance included in the tenant-homeowner package obligates an insurer to defend the policyholder in a court suit filed as a result of an accident in the home and to pay any damages awarded up to the policy limit. In many cases, accidents occuring away from the home or apartment also are covered if the tenant, a member of his or her family or a family pet is held to be responsible. ~ The Insurance Information institute emphasizes that property and liability in­ surance for even a modest household could save a young family from financial loss that could burden them for years to come.
