V U.K 12 - IM. VIVDKALKK - FRIDAY. PROGRtSb ON CITY MEDICAL CENTER ,, (Continued from pag* 1) Their goal is $680,000. A total of $1,600,000 is the goal of the "Reach for Tomorrow" campaign. General Chairman James Althoff is confident that, "the communities served by this fine new hospital will respond in the true spirit that has made our area so great. All of us know the value of quality health care for us and for our children and grandchildren. The future of this health care ,js in the Northern Illinois Medical center. We will support its beginning and we will surpass our goal." t £ UNCERTAIN FU T U R E F O R 9 1 1 (Continued from page 1) needed equipment, we are at a standstill." - LaMagdeleine noted that another part of the problem lay not with the equipment, rather with the "closest car" concept, which is part and parcel of the system. The PSAP dispatcher would broadcast the emergency call on a frequency that all police squads -- county, city, village, etc. -- could monitor and the closest car would be required to respond. This could mean " that McHenry police would be called upon to respond to the traffic accident in Volo, or Wonder Lake, or Lakemoor until the proper agency arrived at the scene. The undersheriff observed that local police departments become very concerned when they have to pull a squad out of their local jurisdiction to answer a call. "I don't know what will happen, or how it will be resolved," LaMagdeleine said. He noted that representatives of the Lake County Sheriff's department never attended any of the earlier meetings, even, though they were involved. "The cost of the individual PSAP is considerable and there is some feeling that the state should underwrite the cost of the system," he added. As far as the Fire department is concerned. Fire Chief Glenn Peterson pointed out that there would be little problem implementing the 911 system. "There would have to be coor­ dination between General Telephone and Illinois Bell, both of which operate in the Ringwood-Wonder Lake area," Peterson said. He also explained that a small portion of the McHenry Township Fire Protection district is in the Crystal Lake telephone exchange, but added that this would pose little problem. ^"It would be up to the dispatchers to make sure that the calls were tran­ sferred to the appropriate agency," the Fire chief said. > -l JV.- *'As far as the department is con­ cerned, we might pick up a few calls to the east, where there is some overlap, but no serious problems exist," Peterson said. "The real problems are administrative." Pasenelli pointed out that the state had originally mandated that the 911 JANUARY 14,1983 system t>e in operation by 1983-84, but that mandate has been lifted. The present requirement, that a plan for implementation be submitted, has been met, he said. . As it stands, the chief said, it will be some time before all of the bugs are ironed out. JOBS, HOPE IN SHORT SUPPLY (Continued from page 1) "It feels liKe (the economy) is -loosening up a little, but it's not ° happening up here," he said. Added co-worker Rick Pertzborn, of Delavan, Wis., "People whft^have worked for years aren't sure oflfteir jobs." Jack Walbrandt, 28, used to be a part-time ^police office^ in Lake Geneva, Wis., before being laid off last July. He took two part-time jobs: maintenance man at Alpine Valley Ski resort by day and a bouncer in a Harvard bar in the evenings. Last week, he got bounced from his job. "It's been a long six months," he said. "I'd rather do anything than collect unemployment." Muriel Willingham said she and two vice presidents at Union Special, in Huntley, were laid off last Friday. "I was married three weeks ago," she said. "Nice wedding present, huh?" But it's not supporting her six children that has Mrs. Willingham worried. It's more the loss qf self- worth. "It's depressing," she said. "It makes a person feel inadequate.", Kenneth Beaudoin, of Woodstock, took a $12-per-hour cut in pay to work at Butler Manufacturing Co., in Harvard. He complains of the fumes. "But something is better than nothing," he said. "I held on for a year." Formerly a heavy equipment operator on highway work, Beaudoin is grateful for the new nickel-a-gallon gas tax. He expects to go back to his regular job in March. But Ethel Bruce, a lab assembler for 30 years at Oak Communications in Crystal Lake, is not as lucky. The company is consolidating and moving its operations to California. She and co-worker Gina Coleman were not included in the plan. "I'm going to go on vacation and forget about it for awhile," Ms. Coleman said. The three men who work for Doug Wilbrandt are able to rest a little easier. "I told them I'd keep them working, do or die," said the Crystal Lake landscaper. Because of the weather, there hasn't been any snowplowing, but there is equipment to be repaired. Although business is slow, the wood Wilbrandt cut on the 85 acres he owns in Wisconsin is carrying him through. "It keeps getting better and better every year," he said of his sideline. Corkey Corrales turned to sewing for a little extra money. She can work out of her home help pay for an occasional splurge, "instead of worrying about what we're going to eat." ^ Others, like Steve Rein, of Woodstock, are using vocational skills. A carpenter for about 10 years, Rein works as a sub-contractor doing "§mall remodeling jobs when necessary. But he noted the market is getting more crowded. More people are painting houses or doing carpentry work. It makes for more "scram­ bling," but it's work nevertheless. "Three or four years ago, I didn't have any free time," Rein said. "I just had too much to do." Mike Hansler, 30, of Lake-In-The- Hills said, "I'll have to change my line of work or run into somebody with a lot of money." In the two months he's been out of work, the former machine operator hasn't encountered any opportunities. "I'm versatile exctpt for brain One Injured In Collision A McHenry resident, Lisa M. Sandrik, 1820 N. Sunset, was injured in a car-bicycle collision Jan. 10 and taken to McHenry hospital. The driver of the car, Michael J. Nimeth, 3811 Millstream, McHenry, told city police he was driving north on Front street at Elm when a bicycle on the north side of Elm street traveled into the intersection and struck the passenger side of his car. Ms. Sandrik said she did not see the* automobile. surgery," he said with a smile.

Even where roadside signs remind that speeding and drunk drivers will be arrested, we have been passed by drivers by the tens and twenties who were exceeding the speed limit. And how about the one in 10 drivers we meet on any weekend who has been drinking? That's what the statistic? tell us and it doesn't make us very comfortable - even if they're smart enough to dim. We weren't that smart last Satur­ day night. And we were anxious enough about being the possible object of a pursuing officer two weeks ago, that we didn't pull up the side of a hill to let him pass. But we were smart enough to remember two important points which saved us a hundred dollars. Heed them if you are the victim of a ticket-happy cop. Always say "Yes sir" and No sir" to let them know that you know they're in charge. And don't ever say, "Do you know who I am?" They don't really care, and in our case, small town editors probably rank right at the bottom of their list. Should either village officer happen to read this week's columns he will only keep our name in mind for the reason that he wants to be sure of our identity the next time we come visiting his community. Our signature may say KAF, but in their books we will most certainly be Gotcha KAF The accident octurred at 5:30 p.m. Jan. 10. Scott J. Benson, 405 Nash road, Crystal Lake, was arrested for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, driving with an obstructed view and driving under the influence following a collision at the intersection of Malibu court and Heritage drive. According to McHenry police, Benson said he was trying to make a left turn from Malibu court when the car skidded into a streetlight standard at the intersection. The accident occurred at 3:10 a.m. Jan. 9. Thomas W. Para, 808 S. Carol avenue, McHenry, was ticketed for driving too fast for conditions following a rear-end collision on Elm street near the Market Place shopping center. The driver of the other auto, Th^rese L. Hughes, 5211 Shore drive, McHenry, said she had stopped to make a left turn when her car was struck in the rear. The collision occurred at 8:55 a.m. Jan. 10. While police were assisting a motorist Tuesday evening on Crystal Lake avenue near Pingree road, an approaching car slid into the ditch and the driver was arrested on a charge of driving while intoxicated. Bond for James Hooper, 46,306 N. Front street, McHenry, is set at $3,000 for a Feb. 17 court appearance. Michael D. Hinger, 26, of 8610 Shady lane, Wonder Lake, was cited Tuesday night on a charge of driving while intoxicated following in­ vestigation of a one-vehicle traffic accident on River road, south of Route 120, McHenry.

A t t o r n e y ' s O p i n i o n Village Pay Raise, Possible Shaw Media News Service An opinion by Village of Wonder Lake Attorney Michael Poper may have resurrected a pay raise question which was defeated 3 to 2 at the Dec. 28 meeting of the board of trustees. Village Clerk Duane Zeman, one of the measure's strongest supporters, acknowledged it was "effectively dead." But Village Attorney Michael Poper looked over the statutes and in nis opinion the ordinances, though they deal with money, require only a majority of the quorum. "It seems to me you're not setting the liability until you set^ the ap­ propriation," Poper said. " According to Poper's in­ terpretation, the salary increases would take effect May 1 -- providing the money is approved by a majority of the entire board (four votes). There is one empty seat and Trustees John Sorensoff,- Anita Vanderwiel and Dave Kuziel oppose the salary increases op the grounds that the village cannot afford them. But Sorenson's and Kuziel's seats are up for election April 12. Kuziel said he will probably run but Sorenson remains uncertain. A tight work schedule keeps him from attending most of the bi-monthly meetings. Since the appropriation does not have to be voted on until April 30, it is quite possible an entirely new board will vote on the measure. "Two points," said Mrs. Zeman, flicking her fingers downward. She was all smiles. Referendum Mothers March Opens Soon EMPLOYMENT SURVEY Local representatives of the Bureau of the Census will conduct a survey of employment in this area during the work week of Jan. 17-22, Stanley D^, Moore, acting director of the Bureau':?* regional office in Chicago, has an-* nounced. In addition to the usual questions on current employment, the January survey will include others concerning occupation mobility, job tenure and job training. These questions will be asked of employed and experienced unemployed persons. The 1983 Mothers March for the March of Dimes Birth Defects foundation will be held in McHenry from Jan. 23 through Jan. 30 to con­ tinue efforts to prevent birth defect, this nation's number one child health problem. "The March of Dimes has been battling birth defects for 25 years now," Mrs. Sue Althoff of McHenry said. "This extremely important work is needed now more than ever. Mothers and families throughout America will be soliciting door-to- door and by. other means of personal contact to help raise much needed funds to continue to fight against birth defects." The Mothers March began in 1950 in Phoenix, Ariz. The oldest fund-raising 'jdrive of itskind, >t ^now takes place ^each year in more than 700r March of Dimes chapters throughout the f country. "N<' only are the volunteers seeking contributions for the March of Dimes, they are spreading the message about the important work those funds support," Mrs. said. Mothers March contributions make it possible to conduct programs of research, medical services, public and professional education. Local programs include the Genetic Counseling clinic at Rockford Memorial hospital and the new Pediatric Intensive Care unit at Swedish American hospital. The goal of the March of Dimes Birth Defects foundation is to see all children have a healthy start in life. Everyone is encouraged to give generously when the Mothers Mar­ cher comes to the door this January, because "you will be helping our next generation."
