Your Potice Department by Officer Jim Fitzgerald Public Relations Officer McHenry City Police Phone 385-2131 Witnesses Meet PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. APRIL 6,1*79 Vandalism is a common word these days, and everyone uses the word when they speak about the great amounts of damage that are done to property and to such as our schools, library and other public buildings. Maybe the problem is that that word is used too often to*.describe damage done, when in reality, there is no such crime as vandalism in Illinois law. Anything that is done to someone else's property, no matter how minor, is called "Criminal Damage to Property Under $150", and is a class "A" misdemeanor. If the damage is over $150, the offense is a class No. 4 Felony. The reasoning behind the fact that there is no such thing as vandalism is this: no matter what is done, even soaping a window, there is an expense involved in repairing the damage. The state of Illinois assumes that everyone's time is worth something, which it is. If the owner of the property has to spend some time washing off the window, the state says that the owner's time spent washing the window is valuable, and therefore there is a loss. If there is damage done to the property, such as a broken window, the loss is the cost of replacing the actual window, and the time spent removing and replacing the pane of glass. As long as the total expense is under the $150 limit, the offense is a class "A" misdemeanor. As soon as the expense becomes $150.01, then the of­ fense becomes a class 4 Felony, and is a much more serious offense. Again, I would like to remind all of the speed limits in the city of McHenry. Except for the following streets, or parts of streets, the speed limit on every street in the city is posted as 25 mph. This includes all streets in the subdivisions, even though some of them are not posted. The law states that the only streets that have to be posted within a subdivision are the streets that enter the subdivision. The following streets and parts of streets ate posted with their respective speed limits, which are not 25 mph areas; Crystal Lake road, Elm street, Front street, Green street from Elm street to John street and from Anne street south to the city limits, Rich­ mond road, Ringwood road to the city limits, Riverside drive from Elm street to Pearl street, and Draper road. Speeding citations are up again, so I thought that I would give you all this little reminder again. Also, there has been a frequent recurrence of people not coming to a complete stop at the various stop signs in town. The law states that when you approach a stop sign, you must bring your vehicle to a complete and total stop prior to the stop sign, and then you may proceed. Merely slowing down to a crawl, looking both ways to clear traffic, and then rolling through the intersection isn't good enough, and will net you a citation for not obeying the stop sign. I know that it's a temp- -- -- tation to make the "rolling stop" when the traffic isn't very heavy, but remember that it is illegal; and sooner or later, if you do it often enough, you will get caught and will receive a ticket. Here is a small note to all you parents of children who have mini-bikes and go-carts and unlicensed motorcycles. These types of vehicles are not legal to be ridden on the roadway; and if your child is caught, he or she can receive a traffic citation for taking these vehicles on the roads. Not only are the vehicles not licensed, which is the only type vehicle that can be legally ridden on the road, but your children do not have a driver's license to operate any motor vehicle on the roadway. The law states that not only must the vehicle be licensed, but the driver must be also licensed. Also, there are certain items that must be on all vehicles that are driven on the roadway, such as headlights, bumpers that are a certain height off the road, a warning device such as a horn or bell, etc. Since a go- cart or a mini-bike or "dirt bike" cannot meet these restrictions, they cannot be driven on the roadway, even by you parents. Please do not think that because your child is a child that he or she cannot be ticketed, and tha^he or she will not have to appear in court with you, and that you both will not have to explain to the judge why your child was operating a motor vehicle illegally, and that your child cannot be fined. All of these things can and will happen if your child is caught by the police. The only place that your child may legally operate a mini-bike, go-cart or "dirt bike" is upon your own property, or the property of someone who has given you written permission to operate the vehicle on his property. The field behind Brake Parts and Illinois Coil Spring is private property, and the McHenry police department has been told by the owners, Brake Parts, that they do not want people riding on the field and that they will prosecute offenders that we catch back there. Please keep these vehicles on your own property. Once again it would appear that spring is finally here. Let's hope that it decides to stay this time! Joseph Saben, Cary-Grove high school teacher whose efforts have helped his students learn about environmental matters, has been named the winner of the Conservation Teacher of the Year award, presented annually by the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation district. Mrs. Betty Hegner, district chairman from Harvard who made the announcement, said Saben's name has been for­ warded for consideration as the Illinois Conservation Teacher of the Year in competition sponsored by the Association of Illinois Soil and Water Con­ servation Districts. Saben developed an en­ vironmental studies course, conceiving the program and incorporating field trips, classroom work and in­ volvement in local en­ vironmental issues. Some of the concepts Saben and his students developed have spread to other courses and other departments, multiplying the effectiveness of the environmental program. More than 100 students are taking environmentally designed courses at present.

Enthusiasm was apparent over the assembly theme, "Keeping Clean and Zealous for Fine Works". Stress was placed throughout the various sessions on the value of high moral standards based on Bible principles. Keynote speaker, district overseer Paul S. Illingworth, addressed the convention on the subject, "A cleansed Earth- - Will You Live to See It?" Illingworth addresses such gatherings weekly, covering groups of congregations in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. The 1,258 in attendance were reminded by Illingworth, "Jehovah's Witnesses are good examples of cleanliness physically, morally and spiritually in that they stand TOWN 6- COUNTRY NEWCOMERS CLUB •Informative Evening Meetings •Children's Holiday Activities •Couples Social Events •Special Interest Mini-Groups •Morning Coffees (babysitting available) •Babysitting Co-operative MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION Judie 385-4650 /Sheila 344-2778 MEETINGS: 2nd Tuesday Monthly 7:30 PM McHenry's St. Paul's,Ep.

People think we are 200 years behind the times; but we are one of the few religious willing to instruct our young people that fornication, homosexuality and promiscuity are not acceptable. We do not look upon God's Word as an anachronism." Illingworth went on to describe the Bible as one's proper guide regardless of how contemporary society mijght feel about morals.

Proper management of this grain will help maintain the quality during the storage period. Most grain spoilage is caused Bible's high moral values in their daily lives and personal relationships," said A.W. Dolenski, presiding overseer of the Woodstock congregation. "Others in the Woodstock- McHenry area are invited to learn more about the Bible's moral standards by accepting a free home Bible study from Jehovah's Witnesses. Personal visits will be made in each neighborhood extending this invitation." by exceeding the allowable storage time of the grain for a given moisture content at a given grain temperature. For a given moisture content, the cooler the grain, the longer the storage time for the grain. One of the most important facts in management of stored grain is to cool the grain. The following steps should be followed: 1. Start cooling the stored grain when outside air is cooler than the grain. Continue cooling until grain is cooled to 40 degrees F. 2. Check again at regular (two to three weeks) intervals. Run the fans when the grain and air temperatures are within 10 degrees of each other. Length of time for the fan operation would be ap­ proximately one hour for grain drying fan and eight to ten hours for an aeration fan Arrange to smell the first ten seconds of the discharged air to detect heated grain odors. 3. Measure and record grain temperatures each time you check the grain. 4. In the spring, warm grain to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Start fan ONLY when outside air is less than 10 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the grain. Do not turn off fan until warm drying front has completely passed through the grain mass. 5 If grain is hot, run fan until the grain is cool regardless of weather conditions 6. If grain is wet (abnormal condition) use heat and air and dry grain to a safe storage level.
