STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD 4 [f Your Police Department I don t think that I have to tell you that an emergency vehicle can b« either a police car. fire truck ambulance, or any other vehicle displaying a rotating RED light and a siren But did you know that upon the ap proach of an emergency vehicle, by law. you must move your vehicle to the right hand side of the roadway, as close a; possible to the curb, and STOP your vehicle*' The only way that ai emergency vehicle's driver cin tell that another vehicles driver has seen fiim is if the other driver shows signf of obeying the law The daiger inherrant in an emerg/ncy vehicle's higher speed is trpled when the driver doesn t tnow exactly what the driver irfront of him is going to do. By watching forward ind to the rear with your vtiicle's 'Irleir view mirror* and listening for the sou** of a siren, you should be able to move out of the way ofthe path of any emergency chicle in time, and never be surprised as one goes by you wit* its lights and siren activated By moving out of he way for emergency vehicle* you make it easier for policy fire, and rescue squad persfinel to get to the scene of at emergency quicker, to ease le problem, be it an accidtt, fire, or medical problem, and return things to normal We all know that the city of McHenry has both an excellent fire department and rescue squad, and that the people in both units are very dedicated and well-trained in their jobs. Did you know, though, that all the men and women of the fire department and rescue squads are volunteers, and that when there is a call, they come form all over the city ? Whenever there is an emergency call, the members get into their own vehicles and turn on a BLUE oscillating light which is on their dash­ boards. and drive to the fire barn or rescue squad barn to go to the emergency call. Since these people are there to help all of us at any time of the day or night, please give them the right of way when you see them coming down the street, too They are hurrying to an emergency to help, and sometimes minutes make the difference No emergency vehicle ever uses the red lights or the siren unless there is an emergency. So whenever you hear or see an emergency vehicle, please obey the law and move your vehicle to the right hand side of the roadway and stop You'll make our job a little easier, and safer The Studetl Council of Marian CentrJ Catholic high school will spdsor a Photo fair during the moith of November.

Cronin has proposed four major guideline considerations for financing Illinois public schools. In testimony before the Governor's Commission on Taxes, Cronin urged the commission to consider the following State board recommendations: 1) Allow for inflation in any consideration of limits on spending. "Flat ceilings, such as 5 percent maximums, should be avoided. Unexpected in­ creases in the cost of living and energy are devastating on school districts. Provisions for increased costs should be in­ cluded in any recom­ mendations," Cronin added. 2) Do not treat all school districts alike. Cronin pointed out that some districts are growing, while others are shrinking; some get less than 20 percent aid from the state, while others receive 85 percent state aid. He warned that "any reduction in state funds hurts financially poor districts disproportionately, and cancels out equalization efforts." 3) Provide a factor for court- ordered increases such as handicapped services and other federal or state mandates. Cronin suggested "allowing' funds for reasonable expansion of services, for debt service payments and quality program improvement." 4) Cronin stressed that any call for reduced local revenues must be met with increased state revenues or ap­ propriations. "A three-fifths rule on state tax increases could cripple educaiton," Cronin said. He warned, "Do not close off all options or you will precipitate bankruptcy or prolonged vacations such as those experienced in Ohio and Oregon".

Pass Mandatory Training Test Residents of Sunnyside were pleased to see our police department back on the toad. The returned to patroling Oct. 29. Members of the Sunnyside Police department, Donna Mitchell and Rick Lindley have been attending a mandatory program in police training: Introduction to Illinois Law Enforcement. This is an ap­ proved training course in of­ ficers law enforcement and run by the Illinois state police. Our officers attended twenty-four hours of classes in Joliet at a state police facility. Both passed with flying colors completing the course with an eight hour test on Saturday, Oct. 28. Sunnyside's police are now more highly qualified than they have ever been in the past. Officer Donna Mitchell has put in many long hours the past few months learning all she could about law enforcement, proper procedure, etc. Upon completing the mandatory police course and passing above average, Donna has been promoted by the police com­ mission to the rank of Sgt. Congratulations to Sgt. Mit­ chell and Officer Lindley for a job well done. Officer Rick Kramer had resigned from the force before the course was required. Future members will be required to take this training course before they can become active members of the force. The state holds these training programs periodically. With the police department back in service, Halloween was a quiet evening. Trick or treaters made their rounds and Sgt. Mitchell reported no distur­ bances for the night The village is proud to have two such fine officers as Sgt. Mitchell and Officer Lindley.

Pumpkin Pie There are so many different recipes for PUMPKIN PIE, and I've tried several of them. I must tell you, though, I always go back to the old favorite PUNKIN PIE' because it's the one all of us like best. First, have ready a single, un­ cooked pie crust, one that you especially like and make or the store bought -- which aren't bad. Homemade is always bet­ ter, of course. If you're making pie crust, might as well do the double crust amount and freeze half for another time The ingredients for this old favorite are 2 beaten eggs v4 cup brown sugar l1^ cups canned pumpkin V* tsp. ginger 1 tsp. cinnamon %h tsp. salt 1 cup milk '/a cup cream or V» A Va Mix'the first six ingredients together and well. Add milk and cream and stir until blended.
