Stevens The Johnsburg PTO rt and received the approval of the school board to start a program of fingerprinting all Johnsburg school students in a program that will be organized and run in conjunction with the McHenry County Sheriff's Department. This program, which is growing in popularity in other area schools, is designed as an aid to parents whose children have been abducted, have run away or in the case of wrongful death. It is a permanent record of identification which is held by the parents. None of the records are kept by the police department. In order for a student to be fingerprinted, a permission slip must be signed by the parents and returned to the PTO. Police officers will do the actual fingerprinting, but the PTO volunteers wul handle all other aspects of the program, including walking the children through the process, organizing the timing and seeing that the records are given to the parents afterward. The fingerprinting will be done at school during school hours The basic plan is to start with the youngest children and follow through until all students, including high school, are fingerprinted. c Illinois Departn Agriculture (IdOA) officials have chosen a farm in Logan county three and one-half miles east of Atlanta, 111. for the 1963 Conservation Tillage Expo.

The board also approved the loan of $320,000 for the start-up costs for an addition to Valley m Nursing Home in Hartland. The county will be repaid through the sale of bonds on the project, County Auditor A1 Jourdan said. Hiere was some debate on the sheriff's department budget from page 1 over a $17,500 appropriation for a boat. Sheriff Henry Nulle told the board it was a necessary item, since his department is charged with maintaining law on water as well as land. The sheriff's budget was adopted on voice vote. Board member Ronald Morris questioned the budget of the coroner's department, which he said has gone from $38,000 in 1975 to a budget of $133,000 this year. Morris called the department one that Is "ever increasing by l&££er percentages every year." Tnat budget too was adopted on voice vote.

Bill Hubbard, representing the county EDC, explained that his organization has a fulltime, paid professional planner, and an annual budget. The organization works closely with the Job Training Partnership Act (JPTA), he added. "Our whole basis is to help other EDC's like yours," he stated to the McHenry EDC members. Hubbard added that the county had no intention of attracting "smokestack" industries. The secret was to build a strong organization which will "be there and be helpful" when potential industries inquire about what the county has to offer. A video tape made by the county EDC was shown to the assembly. The commercial-like tape, which focused on features of the county and its industrial benefits, is shown to companies in the United States and overseas, that plan to relocate. Making the EDC's job easier is the involvement q| decision makers, added 'Hubbard. "Getting government involved is important," explaining that the potential new industries like to hear specifics about tax bases , property avai labi l i ty , zoning restrictions, etc. A new statewide requirement by Governor Thompson also gives Illinois communities a few points to their advantage, in attracting industry. Jim Sailors of McHenry County College, explained,,that his agency works specifically to create programs for . the education or retraining df » employees. r "There is very little we cannot do at the college as far as employee training is concerned," said Sailors. "All programs can be tailor-made^ credit or non-credit courses, for existing or new employees." He encourages industries to utilize the college to train present employees in a new area. The Center for Industrial and - Business Employee Training is also qualified to give presentations, provide educational counseling for the unemployed, hold symposiums for labor and managers, and share in a community's industrial recruitment efforts. The college office will also visit individual companies upon request and form "individual needs assessments," suggesting what will be required of that company's employees in the coming years. "We have a lot to offer," City of McHenry officials agreed. But all also stressed that the community must make every attempt to catch the attention of industries and make them feel wanted. "We have to treat them with the utmost courtesy." said Fran Olsen, executive director of the McHenry Chamber. "And make sure the only companies we lose are the ones we cannot accommodate for one reason or another."
