No transportation problems at Trade Fair SECTION 2 - PAGE 7 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 1984 "All the parking space that fair-goers could possibly want will be available at McHenry's tenth annual Trade Fair throughout all thre days, March 90, 31 and April 1," announces Parking Chairman Bobbie Wiltse. "A crowded parking lot needn't deter anyone from at­ tending the Fair. Just follow the signs to the auxiliary parking areas where MtHenry County Emergency Service and Disaster Agency volunteers will direct you into the most con­ venient space and the Pioneer Center shuttle bus will pick you up near your car and drop you off at the front door of Parkland School. The most you'll have to walk is a few feet", Ms. Wiltse said. The Trade Fair committee presents this expanded parking feature, using two additional lots this year. This feature assures that no one has to miss this exciting and informative annual exposition of hundreds of products and services, or the opportunity to win hundreds of prizes being given away during the three days. There will, of course, still be parking available for 360 cars on the Parkland School grounds. The ESDA volunteers there will assure all arrials that they are being placed in the most con­ venient available location. "However, if a fair-goer is looking to save steps and save their energy for walking through the Fair itself, the auxiliary parking is the area for them", says Sam Wyeth, the ESDA director for Trade Fair parking. "The bus will pick them up near their cars. It's unbelievably convenient." Robert Wiltse, director of Development for Pioneer Center, reports that "the two buses will run on 3-to-5-minute time cycles, which nearly eliminated any waiting period at either end." Not onlv is there no charge for this shuttle service, but there are prizes given to each rider on the bus as well as free chances for prize drawings. All this extra accommodation is made possible through the generosity of the McHenry businesses whose names will be posted on the sides of the shuttle buses. Pioneer Center provides the buses and the required professional drivers. The businesses posted on the sides provide funding for the driver's wages. The parking assistants are ESDA volunteers and the auxiliary deputies of the sheriff's department who receive no pay. However, the contracting party (in this case the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce) does pay an hourly scale rate for all their time, which goes to the ESDA fund to provide emergency and com­ munications equipment for the county. "The McHenry Trade Fair is a showcase that educates every age group. It's a fun family outing for the day but it reaches so very much beyond that day. Information gathered at the Fair can affect your future, your buying habits, your service convenience, and can provide opportunities for sound business decisions," reveals Brian Cunat, 1984 Trade Fair chairman. "We want everyone in our trade area to attend. By providing this extended parking facility, we believe we've made that possible. Plenty of free parking - - free admission - a wealth of information - delicious refresh­ ments - hundreds of prizes. Do come and enjoy. Schedule it into that weekend, come rain or come shine: the return is tremendous." Parkland School is on Ringwood Road at Route 120, at the west end of McHenry. Fair hours will be: Friday, March 30, 6 to 10 p.m.; Saturday, March 31, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sunday, April 1, 11 a.m to 5 p.m. general yci IV*I ui News Police officer accused of sex crime resigns Plaindealer news service Crystal Lake Police Officer Herman Roebke has resigned as a patrolman from the police department and departmental charges will be dropped, at­ torney Mike Kukla said last week. Roebke, free on bond pending sentencing next month, was convicted two weeks ago of felony sex crimes following a two-day bench trial in McHenry County Circuit Court. The 36-year-old patrolman has been suspended from the force since August, without pay since February, because of depart­ mental charges that he misrepresented his position with the department. Kukla said the Crystal Lake Police and Fire Commission is expected to accept Roebke's resignation at a hearing this week. Charges that he wrongly represented himself as the Crystal Lake youth officer will probably be dropped, the at­ torney for the city in the matter said. Testimony during the officer's trial showed that he had driven a 16-year-old girl to Rockford for an abortion. At the clinic, he showed a counselor his badge and said he was a Crystal Lake policeman who helped pregnant young girls who couldn't go to their parents, witnesses testified. Generous public gives aid to family following fire The last FISH column stressed the needs of a family whose home was gutted by fire, and all their possessions lost.

FISH has given emergency food to 63 families this last month. We paid for three desperately needed prescriptions, one for an eight-month-old baby. We were able to help with five energy bills, two car repairs (no car, no job) and to help prevent an eviction, with a rental check. We have churches and organizations who continue to help by donations to FISH throughout the year, long after ? the great holiday thrust is over We run out of food the last two weeks of every month. And, of course, it is time to think of Easter baskets. Plans for that effort are already getting under way. FISH volunteers do stay busy! FISH phone, 385-0258. FISH, P.O. Box 282. AFW A SURE WINNER!
