Don Holt, of the Wisconsin State Police. He commented that the solution may be to reach parity in minimum drinking ages between Wisconsin and Illinois Police Chief Richard L. Newberry, in Lake Geneva, Wis., suggested that if parity cannot be achieved a type of reciprocal agreement might be worked out requiring Illinois youth to adhere to Illinois law. But Holt said he believed such a law would be difficult to enforce, in ad- Age Disparity Traffic Problems dition to causing "constitutional problems." Holt added that Wisconsin taverns are using more sophisticated ad­ vertising methods to entice 18- to 21- year-olds across the border. Walworth and Kenosha counties have ex­ perienced at least a 10 percent rise in the number of drunk driving incidents or alcohol-related problems by Illinois teen-agers, Holt says. Most occur late at night or early in the morning. Sgt. Mike Siereno, of the Genoa City Police Department, said, "I don't have statistics, but we're a lot busier." Richmond Police Chief Andrew Mayer pointed out in the month of May alone, his department had 70 open liquor violations and arrested 31 drunk drivers. The majority of the offenders being in the age lft-21 bracket. LAKE MICHIGAN SALMON FISHING CHARTER THE POT LUK III 32 FT. TROJAN YACHT U.S.C O.

TONY CHUCK IEWANDOWSKI 385-2304 AMERICAN FAMILY I N S t i l l A N ( f American Family Mutual InturanraCo Mad<»on A * A comparison of 1977 and 1W1 statistics drive home the seriousness of the problem since the drinking age was raised in 1979. A though these are overall figures, youths were the primary offenders. In 1977 Mayer reported eight drunk driving arrests and 15 open liquor violations. Five years later those figures had jumped to 198 and 270, respectively. Mayer also noted there are significant increases in Arrests following rock concerts at Alpine Valley outside Lake Gefieva. Mayer said the new Illinois drunk driving law may have a positive ef­ fect, but "you won't see it overnight. It will take awhile for word to get around." A strong liquor lobby in Wisconsin has stifled attempts so far to raise the drinking age to 21, so Mayer com­ mented the best course of action is stronger law enforcement. "If I knew the answer, I'd be making a lot more money than I'm making now," he added. Tougher enforcement may be easier said than done. Although Wisconsin-bordet municipalities provide extra police units to arrest alcohol-related traffic violators, the McHenry County Sheriff's Police does not have for such extra 'Hank" NuDe said he lacks the extra personnel needed to concentrate on one specifc area. "We hardly have enough patrols to cover the regular countats," he said. "We can't concentrate on any one special area bordering the state line to regulate the dkivers coming in from Wiscomin." But Illinois State Police do have special units on a DWI (driving while under the influence) patrol. "The special units work primarily on weekends and when school is out," said Trooper James Vargus, of the Illinois State Police. He says the problem drunk drivers are mostly teen-agers, with "a lot from the Cook county area." Vargus says special state details in the areas bordering Wisconsin cite other traffic violators on charges of open liquor in motor vehicles and speeding, in addition to drunk driving. "The arrests are heavier on weekends and when school is out," he said. "We have a heavier con­ centration of officers during that period, where definite problems exist. "We really can't blame the kids for crossing the state line to get alcoholic .They are not the only ones A" Mil was propoaed in Wisconsin which would have prohibited serving alcohol to Illinois teen-agers, but it was killed," he said. a* Greenwood School beverage at fault. "Everybody's at fault. If the bar owners refused to serve the teen­ agers, traffic accidents would not be as severe, plus we would have less aggravation," Vargus said. - Program Helps Children Adjust To Larger Family Staff members in the Memorial hospital nursery are planning a program to help children adjust to the addition of a new family member. The first ( of four presentations scheduled djiiring the year will be from 2 io 4/p.m on Sunday, June 20, Michelle Johnson, R.N., announced recently Michelle and Barbara Kramer are head nurses in the newborn nursery at Memorial hospital Broihers and sisters of the an- •icipated new babies are invited to participate in the new program, an effort to help family members prepare for t he new brother or sister. The program is the result of ob­ servations by the two nurses and their The Veterans Administration reports that the number of women veterans has increased significantly during the past 11 years. While the number of ex *ervicemembers as a whole is expected to gradually fall in the years to corm.\ the female veteran popu&tion is growing rapidly The nurtioer of womer.' on active military duty is also on the rise, indicating a continued increase in female veterans.
