PAGE 14 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 24,1M2 McHenry County Participation State-Wide Tornado Drill March 2 M c H e n r y County Emergency Services & Disaster Agency (MCESDA) has been instructed by proclamation of the McHenry County board and board chairman, Ronald J. Morris, to participate in the state-wide tornado drill March 2 at about 10 a.m. This is in cooperation with the Illinois Emergency Services and Disaster Agency and the National Weather Service (NWS), according to MCESDA Director John J. Shay of McHenry. The purpose of this drill is to provide an opportunity for all those concerned with protection from tornadoes to review their plans for tor­ nado preparedness and to test the operations of those plans. "We are particularly interested," Shay said, "in making certain that schools, hospitals, factories and offices test their plans." Of all severe winds, tor­ nadoes are the most violent. They arrive swiftly and pass in only seconds, leaving incredible destruction and often death in their paths. History has recorded tor­ nadoes in McHenry county on several occasions. In October, 1959, the Edgebrook Heights section of McHenry suffered thousands of dollars damage to property. On April 11, 1965, Crystal Lake, Island Lake and much of the area between these cities ex­ perienced tornadoes that left six people dead, scores in­ jured and millions of dollars THE LAU) OFFICES N Of STANLfV KU8ACKI ROBERT BURKE HAUE RELOCATED TO: 4721 RTE. 120, McHENRY (ACROSS FROM WHITE HEN PANTRV) P.O.

On April 21, 1967, the western portion of McHenry county received con­ siderable property damage at the time Belvidere, Lake Zurich and Oak Lawn were recording 33 deaths and 500 injuries. Mini-tornadoes were also recorded in Lawrence June 16, 1973, and Lake in the Hills Aug. 15, 1978. When a watch is received by the McHenry county sheriff from the Illinois state police, it is immediately transmitted simultaneously over the county sheriff, fire and Emergency Service's frequencies and received on special tone coded receivers in schools, hospitals and businesses all over McHenry county. The MCESDA office, by use of special equipment, interrupts the two Cable television systems with the severe weather information. Sheriff's department deputies, county employees in radio controlled vehicles and numerous volunteers of MCESDA are sent to pre- assigned locations to watch the weather under the direction of Assistant Director Barry Valentine. All these spotters receive numerous hours of specialized training. The MCESDA office receives and evaluates this information along with radio reports from nearby areas and monitors the NWS teletype in the office. MCESDA also has direct radio contact with the NWS office allowing for im­ mediate reports and sharing of information. Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms are not always preceded by the issuance of watches because forecasting has not yet been developed to that point. Many people cannot dif­ ferentiate between watches and warnings. Shay said, "The watch tells people to go about their business, but to keep an eye on the sky and keep in touch with weather statements and warnings issued by the NWS. The warning tells people of an actual sighting or an in­ dication by radar and urges those in the danger path to prepare to take immediate shelter." The MCESDA Weather division will sponsor a weather training seminar, and refresher. The purpose of the seminar is to train weather spotters, and refresh those spotters who have taken the class in past years, in observing severe thunderstorms and tor­ nadoes. Subjects covered will be the thunderstorm development, safety and reporting rules, and how our Emergency Operating Center (EOC) operates during watches and war­ nings. This seminar will be given twice on Wednesday, March 3. The first will be from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and the second will be 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. It will be held in the operations room of the EOC at the courthouse. Those completing the final examination will be awarded certificates designating them as tornado spotters by M C E S D A . A d v a n c e registration is necessary. If any county resident would be interested in attending this seminar, they must call the MCESDA office at 815-330- 6400 by Monday, March 1, 1902. Several years ago, the McHenry County board authorized the purchase of an informative film which explains about tornado in­ formation and safety measures. According to Director Shay, it has been shown to over 23,000 people in McHenry county. If any club or organization would like to have an informative weather program con­ ducted, they may contact the office soon, as there are limited dates available. At the present time, nothing is known that can p r e v e n t t o r n a d o e s . Therefore, everyone must know what to do if they ever find themselves in a severe weather situation. "We'd like to give them the information on what to do, and then hope they do it," Shay said. Local Artist Ope.ns Special Lenten Rites Students Visit O'Hare East campus teacher, Pat Wirtz, recently sponsored a field trip for some of his students to O'Hare In­ ternational airport in Chicago. This trip gave the students a first hand ex­ perience in seeing career opportunities in the air transportation industry. Russ Williams, a local resident who is a pilot for a major airlines, made a r r a n g e m e n t s w h i c h assured a very successful trip. During the visit, students were able to board a 747 airliner and visit areas that are normally closed to the public. They toured the weather chart area, the fire control center, the United training center, and the United ground control tower. This field trip is another example of the career education emphasis which is stressed in the McHenry high school curriculum. Farm Bureau Members To Meet Legislators A meeting for Farm Bureau members to become acquainted with state legislative candidates is scheduled for Tuesday evening, March 2, by the McHenry County Farm Bureau. Because of the importance of citizens becoming familiar with the candidates and their views on issues, the public is cordially invited to participate in this meeting, Bill Olbrich, Harvard far­ mer who is chairman of tne Farm Bureau legislative committee, said this week. The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. and will be held at the Cloven Hoof restaurant, Marengo. Coffee and refreshments will be served following the program which will include short presen­ tations and a question-and- answer session. Larry Harris, Farm Bureau manager, said a meeting for all candidates of the McHenry County board is planned Tuesday evening, March 9 at Woodstock. It will also be open to the public. y, jir 3312 Ĵ-OpLt 305-1475 nibutg {Jtin 3312 N. Chapel Hill Rd.-Johnsburg "Breakfast Specials" One Egg With eOne Pc. Bacon •One Pc.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 25, 1932) County Clerk Raymond D. Woods received a letter from the Public Works depart­ ment at Springfield in­ forming him that the present location of Route 60 from the Lake county line to connect with Route 61 from Rich­ mond to McHenry, will not be changed, although a resolution was presented by the Burton township citizens and passed by the county board at its last meeting, asking for a change in the proposed location of the route. Look for two new Ford cars in the near futures is the announcement being made by all Ford dealers, an improved "4" and a new "V- 8". No definite date has been set for their appearance in the show rooms, but it will be soon. Catherine Louise, small daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Nye, was injured when the car in which she was riding and driven by her uncle, Albert Blake, hit an unlighted wagon. The Nye child was cut about the face from glass from the broken windshield. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of February 19, 1942) Vernon Kramer, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Kramer, left for the Great Lakes where he has enlisted in the aviation mechanics department of the Naval Reserve. Another Lenten season has rolled around and for the next forty days special services will be held in most of the local churches. Until Easter morning, when joyous music will resound throughout all churches the world over, the succeeding 40 days will be one of self- denial and penitence. This year, probably more than any in recent times, almost the entire population of the world has become con­ siderably more serious with the realization of the many handicaps which must be endured during a crucial wartime. More than ever, the throngs of faithful will fill the churches, with two added causes for which to pray this year -world peace and safety for the brave men arid women who are en­ deavoring to the best of their McHENRY OPTICIANS 1301 RIVERSIDE DR.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of February 21, 1957) The City Clerk's office reports a rush on vehicle tags as the deadline draws near. Vehicle owners are reminded that the deadline is Feb. 28 without paying a 50-cent penalty. With the installation of new and brighter street lights in residential areas, the need for trimming and removing hazardous limbs from trees has been found by the council. Main street and Waukegan road trees will be trimmed very soon, the contract being awarded to Anderson Tree Service in the amount of $620. A league of Women Voters was formed in McHenry and through the efforts of members, local ladies will become better informed--in an unbiased manner, without political favor- about their government, which will make them more intelligent voters in the future. Surely much good will come from such an organization. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 3, 1972) At a short meeting of the McHenry County college board of trustees, authorization was given to sign a contract with the Educational Testing Service of Princeton, N.J., which will establish a CLEP (College Level Examination Program) Open Test center at McHenry County college. MCC is the first Junior college in Illinois to be designated as an Open Test center. There are only two other testing centers in Illinois, one at Champaign and one at Circle campus in Chicago. The Johnsburg Wildcats won their conference tournament by squeaking past Harrison's Hurricanes with a 27-26 score. The traditional arch rivals ex­ changed the lead throughout the entire contest. Three Nometf- Outstanding Young Women Two McHenry area women, and a third who formerly made her home here, have been named Outstanding Young Women of America, to be included in the 1981 edition of the book of the same name.
