MARCH 36.1983 SAFETY HINTS By Secretary of State Jim Edgar Eight bills being in troduced in this session of the General Assembly make up my proposed nine-point legislative program to finetune Illinois' new drunk driving law.

Three of the bills would: 1--Make reckless homicide a Class 3 felony, increasing the penalty to 2-5 years in prison from the current 1-3 years it now carries as a Class 4 felony. 2--Clarify the law on illegal transportation of alcoholic beverages by allowing police officers to cite the driver of a vehicle carrying open alcohol in the passenger area. The current law prohibiting the tran sportation of alcoholic beverages applies to drivers and passengers with no distinction made for identifying the driver. 3--The bill to e s t a b l i s h a d ministrative hearings in my office for persons who refuse to take chemical tests to determine alcohol and- or drug content also would protect and in demnify persons who withdraw or examine blood and-or urine samples (except in cases of gross negligence) under the provisions of the im plied consent law. Our new drunk driving law has been an effective tool in the campaign to apprehend and punish drunk drivers, but it can be even more effective with the nine changes we have proposed. . LAKEMOOIV LI LYMOOR AREA Margaret Karas 385-4934 Fingerprinting Identification How are little children identified in the event they are victims of foul play? Jim and Dottie mentzer were aware of programs in Buffalo Grove, Carpentersville and Marengo, whereby parents could bring their youngsters aged two to six to the police station, where fingerprints were taken and given to the parents to keep as positive identification of their children. Dottie called the sheriff's office and was told, after much consultation, that children could be brought in by parents on Saturdays, and the iden tifying fingerprints would be taken at no charge. This service would provide accurate identification in case of lost, runaway or stolen children. ABSENTEE BALLOTS Those residents who will not be able to come to the polls for the April 12 election, may pick up absentee ballots at the Lakemoor village hall, the McHenry city clerk's office or at the McHenry county building in Wood stock, prior to April 5.

So it's up to us to provide the essentials of life- food, shelter, and water--to our feral friends in our own backyards. The greater variety of food available, the greater variety of wildlife you will attract. The most popular creatures seem to be the many types of birds, which can be brought into your yard with sunflower seeds, suet, peanut butter, and fruit. Evergreen wind breaks on the northern, western, and eastern sides of your home will serve double duty: as a heating fuel energy saver in the winter for you -- and as nesting cover for birds. Thorny plants will help keep predators, cats and raccoons, out of your yard. Your landscaping, too, can provide food as well as shelter. If, for example, you would like to bring hummingbirds into your yard, plant red t u b u l a r f l o w e r s . Hummingbirds will return the favor by helping to pollinate the flowers in the spring as they feed on the nectar. Any yard of any size can become a wildlife haven in miniature with good planning and modest cost. The American Association o f N u r s e r y m e n recommends that you ask your local retail nursery for details.

GROUP FORMING TO BEAUTIFY COMMUNITY A group of concerned residents are meeting April 7, at 7 p.m., at the council room in the municipal building, to farm an organization that will have a primary goal of beautifying the community, especially the lake area, setting goals, and how to accomplish them, will be the purpose of this first meeting. What ideas for improving the area do you have? Perhaps cleaning up the lake front, improving the beach, or building a pier out into the water? Bring your ideas and possible solutions to the meeting. People can again realize how im portant every individual is in im proving and beautifying our surroundings. A great sense of pleasure and pride is developed by not saying "Let the government do it" - but depending on individual skills and cooperation. And what better way to make new friends and really get to know your neighbors? SWEET 16 TIME Though Debbie Vornkahl's six teenth birthday was St. Patrick's day, the family celebrated it Sunday the 19th. Guests for dinner included Debbie's two aunts. Among the lovely gifts the pretty 16-year-old received were a sweet 16 corsage from her mother and father, jewelry and a hand made outfit. GET WELL Jackie Stromley is home recuperating after being in Condell hospital in Libertyville and in a hospital in Milwaukee for over two weeks.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE The surprise party that was, was hosted by Doug Alheit March 19. Debbie Vornkahl was told it was a surprise party for John Diedrich, and John was told it was a sweet 16 sur prise for Debbie. They were both surprised when Debbie's school friends and former neighbors and John's friends all shouted "surprise". The two cakes were made by Marion, Debbie's mother, with six candles for, Debbie and only one for mature John. Donald Vornkahl had decorated Doug's house for the birthdays. Dougie's six-year-old son Jeff and his friend Jessie Schmidt, who stayed overnight, had the bedroom as their playground. Also present were adult guests Hal Vornkahl, Roy and Jackie Rogers, and Jim Kennedy and Bobby Miller who prepared the delicious food. Everyone enjoyed the celebrations, especially the two birthday children who had a happy time, including the receiving of many cards and gifts.

FREAK ACCIDENT Imagine driving on the interstate highway and the two carsahead of you which are following a semi, turn to avoid an object which you can't see. A screeching of metal on pavement and the sound of rending steel, precede the shock of seeing a metal bar coming up through the floor board< of your car, between your legs. This happend to Carl Stromley March 22 on the way to visit Us wife in! the hospital in ^lilwaukte. Carl; managed to drive the cat1 & the' roadside where he waited atibut 20; minutes in hope of someone's having called a tow truck. Even the police were too busy with speeders to stop and help. Carl finally used his bumper jack to raise the car even though he was aware of the danger of doing that on a busy highway. The speedometer cable had been cut. He was able to remove the bar, and then continued on his drive to the hospital. Thankfully, he went as a visitor and not «s a patient. NURSING AID CERTIFICATION This is the first year that students of McHenry East campus in the Health Careers course, have been certified to be nurse's aides.

Chris Watidns is our area's representative and we congratulate her on her certification, and know she will be a very un derstanding and * knowledgeable addition to the nursing staff.
