Voter registration will be required for all elections and must be accomplished at the office of the county clerk or with deputy registrars no later than 29 days prior to the election (Monday, Oct. 5, for the Nov. 3 election). Operation of polling places will remain basically the same, except that coded voter registration lists will help identify the proper ballot for each voter. This is necessary because a number of elections involving different governmental boundaries will be" conducted at the same time. The other four election dates are: (1) General primary election, third Tuesday in March in even-numbered years; (2) general election, first Tuesday after first Monday in November in even-numbered years; (3) consolidated primary election, last Tuesday in February in odd-numbered years; and (4) consolidated election, first Tuesday in April in odd-numbered years. The law also has important im­ plications in regard to votes on school tax-rate increases and other public policy questions. Referenda may be held only on one of the five designated election dates, except in a circuit court- ordered emergency. In the past, districts have been able to schedule referenda as needed. School leaders say the change handicaps districts by limiting their ability to respond quickly when a referendum is needed, and may also influence the outcome of a referendum by linking it with other elections.

Ron Svoboda. Deny Appeal Of Frank * ; In 1980 Murder Case SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE Tne appeal of convicted murderer William A. Frank was denied recently in an opinion filed in the Appellate court of the Second district, Elgin. Frank, 20, of Ingleside, was convicted in the 19th Judicial Circuit court early in 1980 of the murder and kidnaping of 22-year-old Edward Caraher, Jr., of Lake Villa. In February of 1980, Judge William D. Block sentenced Frank to con­ current terms of 75 years for the murder charge and 30 years for aggravated kidnaping. Two others involved in the murder, Edward Wieting and Clifford Johnson pleaded guilty and were sentenced to 30 and 35 years respectively. Judge Block found that Frank's participation in the^rime displayed sufficient wanton cruelty that the extended sentence was warranted. In the appeal, Frank said the trial court erred in denying motions to suppress certain physical evidence, in not finding in favor of the defendant because the state failed to properly establish the place of the crime, deprived the dependent of due process of law, denying a mistrial motion and for not giving the jury an instruction of involuntary manslaughter. Another issue raised was whether the length of Frank's sentence was ex­ cessive in relation to the sentences of Wieting and Johnson. The three convicted men and the victim all worked at International Minerals and Chemical plant in Libertyville where the crime Started. The victim, Caraher, was shot twice and later had chloroform adminstered to keep him quiet. The three men went into a bar to discuss what was to be done as Caraher lay in the back of a van. He was taken from Lake county into McHenry county and dumped in a snowbank along VanderKarr road, near Woodstock. Caraher's body was found by a road crew the next morning. The Appellate court justices, citing case law, said there was no precedent for reducing the sentence of one man, who went through a full trial, to that of his companions, who pleaded guilty and were not tried. Regarding the point of the in­ voluntary manslaughter instruction, the court found that there was no evidence that anything that was done to Caraher by the defendant was in­ voluntary or unintentional. The opinion stated, "...the conduct of the defendent appears to have been callous and deliberate from beginning to end. The only possibility of recklessness entering into it was in the firing of the gun by the defendant and the evidence indicates that was done deliberately while the victim was lying on the ground." Assistant State's Attorney Gail Moreland prosecuted the case and the defense attorney was Richard Kelly.

The respite care program of Pioneer center is expanding to include In-Home services. It will provide specialty trained workers to care for develop- mentally disabled children and adults in their own home in the event of a crisis situation or family vacation. The center is now looking for persons with a minimum of a high school education and some experience in child care to work with these handicapped persons on an as-needed basis. This is an excellent opportunity to serve a great need in the community. Families caring for disabled in­ dividuals have generally found it dif­ ficult to find someone on their own who is interested and competent to care for their child. The In-Home Respite program has been developed to meet this need. There are two other aspects of respite care which have been offered to disabled persons since 1976. These are Facility and Foster Care Placements. Both of these programs are also offered during a family crisis or family vacation. Pioneer center has contracted with skilled and intermediate care facilities for respite care bed space on an "as needed" basis. If parents or guardians of a developmental^ disabled person are unable to care for their child for a short time due to a vacation or emergency, they would be eligible for respite care. The center would try to place these persons in an appropriate facility for approximately two weeks. The Foster Care program is run in the same manner as the facility program; however, only persons under 18 years of age are eligible. The center has contracts with licensed foster homes to provide short term care to disabled children. ^ Those interested in becoming an in- home worker or have a need for any aspect of respite care, should call 344- 1219. PLAN COMMISSION MEETS The next regular meeting of the McHenry County Regional Planning commission will be held Thursday, Aug. 13, at 7:30 p.m. in Room 112 of the McHenry county courthouse.

Wo Id Fiesta Follow-up ^ "* 1 "'wr • f In Pearl Street Park Restructure NIMA As of Oct. 1,1981, the Northern Illinois Medical Associates (NIMA) will undergo a "behind the scenes" business restruc­ turing, according to Dr. Edward Wilt, Jr. Dr. Wilt said that almost to a man, the physicians will remain but will not be working in a single, overall partnership. Each physician will develop his own individual practice or, perhaps, form a partnership with another doctor in the clinic. The location and general distribution of the physicians will remain the same. My JOHNSBURG SCHOOL S 1980-81 BUILDING TRADES HOUSE OBFERS ALL THESE FEATURES: John Huemann, chairman of the Independence Day Celebration com­ mittee, has announced that the Country and Western evening in Pearl street ^ park will be a benefit for the 1982 Fireworks fund. The same band scheduled to appear on Fiesta Days Frontier night will be performing Friday, Aug. 14, from 8 to 11 p.m. for the deferred delight of all whose ears and feet were disappointed on Theme night Everyone is paOst cordially invited to attend. There is no admission charge. Since this is an "extra" event on the Chamber of Commerce calendar, of­ ficers feel it is an excellent opportunity to begin funding for the fireworks, - which was an "extra" attraction for all residents this "year and which requires an enormous funding if it is to be helG* * again next year. The Chamber will donate all proceeds from the sale of / beer and any part of their concessions from this Aug. 14 event and will ask all vendors to share alike. The band promises to produce a delightful evening of Fiesta follow-up enjoyment. Packing Pearl park for fireworks and for fun will have a double dividend--one on Aug. 14 and another next Independence day.
