Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Cary, Fox River Grove, McHenry and Marengo currently operate Crime Stoppers programs. Each has a board of directors that oversees fundraising and the payment of rewards. Sether said his request for county assistance in broadening the program stems from the fact that crimes are being solved and rewards paid in areas outside the jurisdictions of the six communities, ograms encompass areas covered by a municipality's ZIP code. Hie result is that money raised in Crystal Lake might be used to jpay rewards in other communities like Alden, Hebron or Richmond, Sether said. "Sooner or later, somebody in those areas is going to have to start financing the program coordinated through a central telephone number in Crystal Lake that acts as a ise for calls sup- on unsolved crimes, ice January of last year, the crime prevention program in Crystal Lake has helped local police arrest 47 felony crime cases have been solved with the program's assistance. Sponsored by local chambers of commerce, Crime Stoppers is a citizen's organization that offers cash rewards up to fl.OOC for information leading to the arrest and filing of criminal charges against persons there," he said. "We "want gain the county's backin establishing a coalition of areas that aren't big enough to support their own Crime Stoppers." under the proposal, the county would help establish a board of directors with representatives from some smaller communities and all unincorporated areas. They would raise money in their own communities and pay rewards from a pool of funds ad­ ministered by the coalition board, Sether said.

Police arrest area man on drug charges By Jim Nash PUlrtteater-Harald News Service .Algonquin Police have made the latest in a string of arrests spawned by an undercover drug investigation in McHenry County and conducted by federal and local law en­ forcement agencies. Algonquin r'olice Lt. Steven Schinkel said Timothy E. Elliot, 22, of 567 Somerset, Crystal Lake, was arrested Oct. 5 and charged with two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance.' Elliot was arrested at his job in Elk Grqve Village, Schinkel said. Two more suspects involved in the investigation, one from the Algonquin area, have yet to be arrested, he added. Elliot's arrest is the latest development in a lQ^rnynth, joint investigation by the federal Drug Enforcement Ad­ ministration Task Force and Algonquin police. The case climaxed in gunfire last month when officers arrested Michael P. "Bubba" Donegan, 30, at Crystal Lake's Super 8 Motel off U.S. 14. Donegan allegedly pulled out, but did not fire, a revolver after selling a half-pound of cocaine to undercover officers. A police officer reportedly fired three shots at Donegan, as the suspect fled, but missed him. Conegan has been charged with armed violence, aggravated assault, unlawful delivery of a controlled sub­ stance and possession with intent to deliver. Arrested with Donegan were John J. Ellenbogen, 31, Car- pentersville, and Daniel R. ^"inn, 22, Lake in the Hills. RTA CHAIRMAN Gov. Thompson last week ap­ pointed Samuel K. Skinner as per­ manent chairman of the Regional Transportation Authority. Skin­ ner, 46, a Chicago lawyer who lives in Lake Forest, will serve as chairman of the 13-member board for a term that expires July 1 1989.
