PAGE 18 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY. MARCH M. lttt Escape For Abuse Victims Victims of family violence now have a better chance for protection and help from the legal system as a result of the new Illinois Domestic Violence Act which went into effect March 1. Acknowledging that victims reqmre protection and that police need technical sup- x>rt, the Act expands the -emedies available to the egal system and the victim, ncluding physical separation of the parties if necessary. Turning Point Inc. of McHenry County applauds the passage of the Act, ac­ cording to the organization president, Bj Jones. "We know that domestic violence is pervasive in our society and often increases in frequency and severity if there is not effective in­ tervention. By providing additional protection to the victim, this new law has the potential of encouraging victims to report abuse and get help." Turning Point is a private non-profit organization that provides a variety of ser­ vices to families ex­ periencing violence or stress, including a 24 hour stress line, (815) 344-3944. Privacy is guaranteed. Some of the key provisions of the new law were outlined to McHenry county police at a recent seminar sponsored by McHenry County college and the Police Training institute. The new act makes abuse of any household or family member (including the elderly) a crime. Police may arrest without warrant where a criminal offense (abuse) has occurred, whether or not in the presence of the officer. In addition, the court is to provide expedited services to the victim. Assistance to be given to the victim is clearly stated in the Act. When the court issues an "Order of Protection" on behalf of the victim, it can include one or all of the 10 "remedies" outlined in the Act. Remedies include removal of the abuser from the home, temporary custody of children, counseling, monetary compensation for losses suffered by the vic­ tim, and arrest if the "order of protection" is violated. "There are many reasons that people do not report abuse; age, fear, isolation are some," said Ms. Jones. "We hope this new law will encourage more victims to get out of their violent situation."

Hours: Daily 9 to Sunday 10 to 6 9 HORNSBT pioe _ FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the flies of March 10, 1932) Winter gripped this region in its icy blasts over the weekend and the first of the week when the country was swept by a gale and snowfall was general with sub-zero temperatures registered in this vicinity. Householders were warned to expect some damage to the fruit trees and spring bulbs as a result of the zero temperatures. Miss Rita Bacon was unable to attend her work at Grayslake this week because of injuries received in a fall at her home. Her right arm was injured and face and body bruised. At the stated meeting of the City Council the balance of $4,780.31 of the treasurer's report was approved as read. The city collector's report showed collections of $417.40. The city clerk reported collections of $217.89. A petition signed by about 60 business men agreed to pay 50 cents per week apiece for a special night watchman was read, but because of the wording of the petition it was not possible for the board to take any action. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 12, 1942) Military funeral rites were held for Private William A. Pearson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Pearson, who reside in the Barlow home northeast of the city. Pearson was one of four soldiers who lost their lives in a head-on crash of a special troop train and a fast Frisco passenger train in Missouri. Private Pearson's death was the fifth McHenry county serviceman casualty recorded in this war. With the exception of four days during the middle of the month, February weather was moderate although the winds were damp and chilly. The lowest temperature for the month was three below zero on the nineteenth and the warmest was thirty-eight degrees on the fifth. TWENTY-FIVE ^ YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of March 14, 1957) Tension was in the air at a session of the McHenry County GOP Central com­ mittee in the circuit cour­ troom, at which time Judge Cowlin's candidacy for circuit judge was approved but only after 12 com­ mitteemen walked out in protest over the general procedure. Judge Cowlin, as chairman of the county Republican central com­ mittee, asked permission to withdraw from that post because of his candidacy. Two men were nominated, Boyd Irwin of Crystal Lake, supported by the Cowlin backers, and Charles Miller of McHenry. Irwin won the nomination in spite of reported support for Miller by the two incumbents, William M. Carroll of Woodstock and Bernard M. Decker of Waukegan. . A total of $1,254.32 has been collected to date in the Red Cross campaign in this community, just about one- third of the quota of $3,800. TEN YEARS AGO (taken from the files of March 17, 1972) Following executive session, the Montini Catholic school board announced that the same salary schedule now in effect will be adopted for the 1972-73 school year." This applies to both religious and lay teachers. This unusual action was taken after Board President Gregory Eckstein an­ nounced that according to the Rockford Diocesan board of education, Montini has the highest paid teachers to the Rockford diocese, including high school salaries. Therefore, the decision was made to hold the line for next year. The trustees of the McHenry County Con­ servation district have announced that they are entering into negotiation to acquire a 22-acre marsh and wooded area east of McHenry. Student Scapegoating Subject For Address The East campus school psychologist, Mrs. Jacie Smith, recently addressed the East campus faculty on the subject of student scapegoating. The topic was considered because of faculty interest in how to deal with students who scapegoat their problems onto faculty members. Mrs. Smith shared a number of outstanding ideas on using faculty organization with students in responding properly to misdirected student comments. Parents who might be interested in receiving a, copy of the presentation can contact East campus principal, Bill* Dbdds. A transcript of Mrs. Smith's presentation has been prepared and would be appropriate for parents as well as teachers. It would assist parents in finding better ways of dealing with their children's ability to turn the child's problems around and make them seem like the parent's problems. Two Seniors Saluted Two outstanding high school seniors were selected for honors at the March 8 meeting of the McHenry Kiwanis club. These McHenry high school seniors were saluted for outstanding community service. Matt Lange and Mark Schneider, both seniors at East campus, were saluted for giving a presentation at the McHenrv hospital Women's auxiliary old English tea held recently. These two seniors, along with two other students, performed musical selec­ tions and entertained the auxiliary members present. In addition to these ac­ tivities, these young men have been involved in many other school activities for which the Kiwanis club saluted them.
