McHenry man charged for burglary at area ski lodge Memory Trail, Wonder Lake, was arrested for driving under lid drh McHenry County, where Chester Gould created the original Dick Tracy comic-strip character in 1981, will be the site for a gathering of modern crimefighters when the fourth annual Mid-America Crime Stoppers Conference takes place May 22 -23. Trie conference will be at­ tended by citizens connected with Crime Stoppers organizations in seven Mid­ western states. There will be workshops and speakers focusing on various aspects of the Crime Stoppers movement, which has been responsible for the arrests of tens of thousands of criminal suspects and the solving of countless crimes since the first program was founded in Albuquerque in 1976. Gould, who is in retirement on his country estate in McHenry County, will be the honorary chairman of the conference, which will take place at McHenry County College. "I want you to know that this (Crime Stoppers) is really important in my life because it's the best living thing from Dick Tracy," Gould said last fall after accepting the invitation from the McHenry County Crime Stoppers conference planners. "Thank you for the honor of being part of this conference." Gould is also responsible for the organization of the term "crimestoppers" when, in 1949, he conceived the idea of a youth anti-crime group for the strip. Crime Stoppers organizations, now in operation in communities all across the United States, offer cash rewards from $100 to $1,000 for information leading to arrests and the filing of criminal charges against suspects. Crime Stoppers groups raise funds for rewards and pay for a telephone number which people who have information about crimes may call. The Crime Stoppers concept overcomes two important factors which often prevent vital information about a crime from reaching police; fear and apathy. Some people are fearful of retaliation if criminals find out who gave information to police. The anonymity of Crime Stoppers overcomes that fear, and the cash rewards offered overcome citizen apathy about crimes. Greg MacAleese, a policer detective in Albuquerque, N.M., created the first Crime Stoppers program in 1976. "The program was a tremendous success and it wasn't rlong before there were more in New Mexico," Detec­ tive Roger Sether of the Crystal Lake Police Department, one of the founders of the Crime Stoppers effort in McHenry County explained. The Crime Stoppers idea soon spread throughout the South­ west, then to the mid-Atlantic states. MacAleese, the first president of Crime Stoppers International and currently a board member, will speak at the conference. In addition to MacAleese, the conference speakers will in­ clude: . . --Lois Herrington, Assistant U.S. Attorney General for Justice Assistance who has done outstanding work in the field of crime victim justice. --Judge Richard Carter, a municipal judge in Arlington, Texas, who is chairman of the Texas Crime Stoppers Advisory ; Council and general counsel to Crime Stoppers International. His topic will be "Crime Stop­ pers and the Law." --Dennis P. Rosenbaum, a research psychologist at Nor­ thwestern University who is conducting research on Crime Stoppers programs in the U.S. --Coleman Tily, executive director of Crime Stoppers International. Workshops planned for the two-dav affair will include Fundraising, Crime Stoppers Newcomers School, Sustaining Board Enthusiasm, Expanding to Multiple' Jurisdictions, Motivating Prospective Callers, Working with the Media, and Involving Young People.
