(Continued from page 16) instances, imbalances between county lines would be controlled, and administrative excellence attainable .through state-wide review procedures. NEKLO P. GAMBERDINO, Democrat, Deerfield. DePaul University BA, 1950. Loyola University, Master's, Labor Relations, 1952. DePaul University JD1957. Attorney at law. From 1961-68 assistant State's Attorney for Cook county. 1968-70 assistant State's Attorney in Lake county. Direct experience as a prosecutor in both counties enabled him to get a first-hand look at how courts operate. Since 1970 engaged in private practice of law and can now appreciate how the courts operate from the defense view. 1.1 would consider the establishment of a set of standard of juvenile matters to include such items as (a) formal procedures in court which would vary little from that applied in adult procedures with all the safeguards attached thereto, such as the right of cross-examination, rights to counsel, right to be confronted with witnesses, and all the other constitutional rights; (b) at least one public defender iii a Juvenile court to be present at all times to see that the juvenile's rights are protected: (c) Processing of juveniles to differ from adult cases primarily in terms of court willingness to use informal, nonpunitive measures in sentencing; (d) court's use of community services to investigate and report to the court. 2. We have in Illinois statutes governing probation and parole, if that is what is meant by "system" in your question. As it exists, it is a good system, but it is in the application of same that we should have greater means of protecting the rights of the individual. 3. Release on recognizance is dependanton many factors and not just a yes or no answer. Factor (a) type of crime (b) individual's background (c) individual's stability in the community (d) individual's ability to provide for a bond. As to the work-release program, I believe it is a very good idea since the main purpose where a minor crime has been committed, is not to have the family suffer from loss of income and or to keep the man at his place of employment; if it is a woman defendant, to allow her to remain with her family when necessary. program, monthly reports, and other programs. 2) What are the advantage of the recently purchased com- putor to the taxpayer in McHenry county?

Occupation: Granted a leave of absence in January 1972, by the County Merit corrilmission. Now a dispatcher for a trucking company in Woodstock. Training and Experience: Served as a member of the Illinois Law enforcement commission eighteen years, serving in all divisions of the Sheriff 's department, holding all ranks. He was elected Sheriff in 1966 and served four years. Arthur T. Tyrrell (Democrat), 2200 N. Seminary, Woodstock. Educat ion: Grammer and High sch. 1. Wright col lege. Occupation: Sheriff of McHenry County. -Training and Experience: Working in the areas of organized crime, Narcotics, subversion, and police ad­ ministration. Presently on the General Advisory board of McHenry County college and an instructor in Police Science for the past four years. Quest ion: In your opinion, what services should the sher i f f ' s otf ice provide? Carroll: The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer of the county that elects him. He is also the county supervisor of safety and is to enforce all the laws of the state and within the municipalities of his county and also the ordinances of same. The Sheriff is the officer of the courts in person or by deputy, when in session, and is to obey the lawful orders and directions of the courts. The Sheriff is the Warden of the county jail, which houses prisoners who are to be fed and kept healthy while in the jail. They are to be taken to the courts on their court days and a docket or record kept while in the jail. He patrols the county roads, has a juvenile program with officers for those towns which don't have their own. He has an investigation depart­ ment with trained detectives to conduct investigations of all types within the county and also to help any town or city that requests help. He has a narcotics division with trained agents to work with parents, schools and church groups, and also works with other towns within the county and other counties. He has trained men within the department to handle underwater recovery anywhere within the county. He has a communications system to provide storm warnings to schools and factories. He provides vacation watch to people that are away from their homes. He has a fingerprint service, handles a news service which handles communication with the news media He should have sufficient personnel to operate the department in a very effectual manner, at a low cost, giving the best service to those who call or one in need of the police, in order to keep taxes in line with other counties of the same size. The depart­ ment should protect the rights of all the people so life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, guaranteeing them from illegal interference. Tyrrell: Services should hj? directed toward the needs of all the people service, protection, and education COUNTY CLERK (4 year term) R. Daniel Malone (Democrat), 990 So. Shore Dr., Crystal Lake, 111 Education: B.S. and M.S., Illinois Institute of Technology: advance graduate work, North­ western university. d Occupation: Owner and operator of Ace Hardware, Crystal Lake, III. Training and Experience: 1 have twenty-three years ex­ perience in systems analysis and data processing, having worked in the establishing and operating of data processing systems in both private and governmental areas. In ad­ dition, being an owner of businesses has re-enforced my conviction that availability, service, and consideration are the most important things when dealing with the public. Vernon W Kays (Republican), 325 N. State St., Marengo, III. Education: High school Occupation: County Clerk. Additional training and experience: I have held the office of County Clerk fur sixteen years. Prior to this I worked with the courts and served four years as county Treasurer. Questions: 1. As an important ad­ ministrative officer with diverse duties, what do you feel is the most important function of the office of County Clerk? 2. Are there any other methods of voter registration which could be utilized by the clerk's office to encourage or simplify voters registration, such as traveling registration vans, etc.? 3. In your opinion, could voter registration cards note membership of all taxing districts? Would you be willing to make available lists of registered voters in each taxing district? Malone; . 1. I feel that the entire control of the voting process is the most im­ portant function of the office of County Clerk. However, the County Clerk's duty is 1( preparing the tax books and 2) ex­ tending the taxes, runs a very close second. 2. The things I propose to do are 1) make every precinct committeeman a deputy registrar, 2) conduct an annual registration (and pre- registration) of voters at all of the county high schools, 3) appoint the "hostesses" of the various welcoming groups, i.e. Royal Welcome, Welcome Wagon, Chamber of Commerce hostess, etc., as deputy registrars, and 4) encourage the establishing of temporary registration locations, for example, at a grand opening of a new business, or special events, so that voter registration will be as con­ venient to do as payment of taxes. 3. Yes, membership of the proper taxing districts could be indicated on voter registration cards. Yes, by utilizing data processing equipment, I would be willing to make available lists of registered voters for each taxing district in either street or alphabetical name order. Kays: 1. The handling of elections and the extension of taxes. 2. At this time the county has not seen fit to buy a van for the purpose of voter registration. 3. I feel the above would be very costly project. Walgenbach: McHenry county hasn't purchased computors; we have the work done by a service bureau. 3^What improvements in the Treasurer's office would you implement, if elected? Walgenbach: Lwould like to enlarge the computor service by having scaners. There are times that you have the idea of changing, but due to the laws, changes cannot be done.

MA. in School Administration, 1955, Northern Illinois. Occupation: Assistant Superintendent of Education Service Region, McHenry county. Henry A. Kenyon (Democrat ) 302 N. Timothy Lane, McHenry, 111. Education: Bachelor of Education, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, 1956. Master of Science in Education, Northern Illinois, 1963. Ad­ ditional at University of Wisconsin, Madison, and at Nil!., , degree in Supervision and Curriculum. Occupation: Sixth grade teacher at Parkland school in McHenry. Training and experience: I have been active in both the Illinois Education association and National Education association. Through these organizations and my work as a teacher, I have seen a need for more services from this office. Questions: 1) As an agent of the state in distributing state funds to school districts, do you have an authority to delegate or withhold funds? 2) What would be your criteria for removing a school board member from office? 3) Do you feel the duties of this office could be performed more effectively on a larger regional basis rather than a county level9 Hall: 1) Yes. Funds can be withheld if a school district is in serious violation of the school code. 2) The school code reads, "The county Superintendent may remove any member of a school board from office for willful failure to perform this official duties. 3) I feel that this regional office could operate more ef­ fectively if it was a larger area, but our neighboring counties, Lake, Cook, Kane and DeKalb, are much too large to con­ solidate with. Boone county is a small county and they are now in the process of merging with Winnebago county. McHenry county is in an area of rapid growth and by the year 2,000 we should be large enough to operate most effectively. Kenyon: 1 > Yes. As described in Section 122 3-8 of the Illinois School code... failure to file proper reports or failure of school treasurer to be properly bonded. The above are two reasons when funds must be withheld. 2) The school code says, "willful failure to perform his official duties." I wouldtakethis PAGE 17 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY. NOVEMBER I, 1974 to mean failure to attend meetings, conflict of interest, disregard for public funds, loss of public trust or over abun­ dance of personal problems that affect duties. This is a tough question and would take a specific case that had to be studied on its own merits. 3) Yes. it is entirely possible that the duties of this office could be handled more ef- COUNTY TREASURER (4 year term) Audrey K Walgenbach ( R e p u b l i c a n ) , 1 4 4 1 7 Washington St., Woodstock.

Additional experience and training: Served in every capacity within the structure of the office. Questions: 1) Other than computerized tax billing, what functions of your office would you use computors for9 Walgenbaih: Computors could be used in the investment U.S. Candidates CANDIDATES FOR U.S. SENATOR six year term, salary $42,500.

Questions: 1) Will you support further federal funding for a nation-wide program of low income housing? 2) Would you oppose federal legislation which would weaken primary health air quality standards which are now required in the Clean Air act? 3) Are you in favor of legislation to insure the constitutional right of privacy for individuals concerning whom identifiable information is recorded? 4) Do you favor ratifiction of the Equal Rights Amendment? Burditt: 1) Low income housing is obviously essential, and I would support federal funding for it. However, I am not satisfied with current programs; in many instances we are simply building the slums of the future. 2) I was chief sponsor of the Illinois Enviornmental Protection act...and am in favor of high standards for air, water, and other environmental quality. I would oppose weakening any standards unless it can be clearly shown that changed circumstances necessitate a change in standards. 3) Yes. 4) Yes. I supported the ERA as a state legislator. Stevenson: 1) Yes. Am one of the authors of the Senate version of the Omnibus Housing act which continues subsidies for low income housing. Willing to support on an experimental basis housing allowances - but fear that such allowances, without increased housing stock, will simply increase the cost of housing. Have helped enact many needed reforms in low-income housing programs. 2) Yes, but without reducing air quality standards and delaying such standards from being implemented only for as long as is necessary to install the equipment to clean up the emissions from burning coal. 3) I generally favor such legislation and recently successfully proposes an amendment to the Consumer Protection agency legislation to protect the privacy of personal financial information which the federal government obtains from financial institutions. 4) Yes.

Robert McClory, Republican, incumbent, 340 Prospect, Lake Bluff. Questions same as for U.S. Senators. Beetham: 1) Yes. The need for this type of unit increases dramatically against the economics of private home building and buying. Private financing is growing more distant in price and governmental subsidies are essential. 2) Yes. Even with the energy crisis do not favor relaxation of standards. Do favor federally funded research for 'clean' sources of energy i.e., solar and geothermal. 3) Privacy must be maintained or restored with the absolute rights of the individual; that any further attempts of a national data bank or comparable private shared invasion of privacy by either public or private sector be discontinued or prohibited.

He is chairman of the board of Anocut, Inc., Elk Grove Village, manufacturers of maching tools (twenty- five employees).

He has a university Education. He is a legislator and president of a corporation. He has had three previous terms in office and is interested in the proper functions of government. 1. Would you support legislation that would allow township functions to be transferred to counties and-or municipalities? Green: Yes. This would decrease money spent on township jobs which could be adequately handled by county or city government. Hanahan: Yes, especially to aid those township areas where sorely needed basic services are not provided the citizenry. Skinner: I have no objection to consolidating any local governments' functions with any others as long as it is done with die express approval of the citizens involved. Stroupe: Yes. In general, I favor less "government" as well as fewer laws (and lawyers). Waddell: No. 2. Will you vote to ratify the ERA? Green: Yes. * Hanahan: No. Skinner: I have and I will again, if the courts don't declare it passed already. Stroupe: Yes, of course. As a human being, I consider it shameful that you should have to ask. Waddell: No. 3. Some Illinois communities have become "growing employment communities" as industries move from the cities into the suburbs. Do you believe these communities have a responsibility for providing low and moderate income housing for a proportion of these new workers? Green: Such communities should provide zoning to allow moderate housing. I do not feel it is the communities' responsibility to provide housing itself unless absolutely necessary, however, the areas should be available for interested investors. New industries and employers are going to benefit the , community as taxpayers. Hanahan: Yes. Both the state and local community should work together to provide not only low, but also moderate income housing at reasonable interest rates to those families forced to move into the community for employment. Skinner: I haven't made up my mind of this question yet. I may put it in my legislative poll to get an indication of how my , constituents feel. Stroupe: No. But while the community should leave the construction of housing to those who do this for a living, it should , not impede, in law or in fact, the immigration of such workers within the limits of reasonable zoning and planning regulations. Waddell: No. 4. Would you support amendments to the Illinois School code to include explicit procedures for the handling of student records, requiring that student data be classified and maintained according to its need and classification, and defining parent-student access, and access by third parties? Green: I believe that amendments are necessary to the Illinois School code to organize and control student data information. This is necessary to expedite the availability of such information when necessary for responsible sources and likewise to protect the r privacy of students against unresponsible sources. Hanahan: Yes. Skinner: Yes. Students have just as much right to privacy as you or I. Stroupe: Yes. Until a person declares for an office of public trust, the right of privacy must be safeguarded. Waddell: Yes. 5. Will you oppose weakening amendments to the Illinois Environmental Protection act? Green: Yes. I would oppose weakening amendments to the Illinois Environmental Protection act. I feel this act was long overdue and though it may seem astringent, it is not unreasonable. Hanahan: Yes, but only in those areas where restrictions are unnecessary and outdated. At the same time, however, I will fight; for increased strengthening of areas that are not rigidly enforced or governed. Skinner: That is the position I have taken in the past. As a result of such an attitude, my voting record has been ranked "excellent" by the Illinois League of Conservative Voters. Stroupe: Yes. Waddell: Generally yes, but with specific reservations as to the situation and the facts surrounding that situation. Most of these areas must be taken in light of their own course, such as' those provided specifically when variances are asked for. 6. Various forms of the commonly called "Scenic Rivers' bill have been introduced to the Illinois legislature during the last few sessions. The latest bill seeking to create the Natural Rivers and Wetlands act designates the initial segments of the natural rivers and wetlands systems to be protected. Basic characteristics provide for protection of scenic, natural, or historical conditions of these rivers and wetlands. Will you support the Scenic Rivers bill? Green: Yes, barring an unforseeable exorbitant cost to the taxpayer. Hanahan: Yes, as I have always done so in the past. Skinner: Probably. I shall certainly want to study next year's version before committing myself. Stroupe: Yes. If a business cannot succeed without polluting nature, aesthetically or organically it deserves to fall. Waddell: Yes, but with the express proviso of fair treatment to those land owners bordering said rivers, as was not provided in on previous bills. 7. Would you vote to abolish cumulative voting? Green: No. Over the decades and changes in controlling parties, cumulative voting seems to prove a good balancing method. Hanahan: No. Skinner; I don't know. Certainly, if I were a Democrat in the 33rd district, either a voter or a legislator, I would favor the present system that virtually guarantees one of the three state representatives will be a member of that minority party. As a Republican, I believe I will have adequate representation in this district regardless of the method of election. Stroupe: Yes. It confuses the voters. There is no direct responsibility. Only Illinois has it. It's outmoded and crazy. Waddell: No. Even though such an act would probably guarantee incumbents with unchallenged districts, I feel, however, that minority representation in each district far out-weighs any proported economies that may be used as an argument for single- member districts. 8. Are you in favor of consolidation of elections for Illinois? Green: Yes. The county pays an average of $15,000 to $20,000 (using Boone county as an example) for each special election. It's an unnecessary expense as most of the issues at hand could be consolidated with the next major election. Hanahan: Yes. Skinner: Absolutely! I strongly support the consolidaion of ALL elections for whatever purpose into three or four days per year. This would increase voter participation through the elimination of special elections and, hopefully, to improve the democratic process in Illinois. My legislative polls have consistently indicated over 90 percent of the 33rd district favors consolidation of elections and I consider the General Assembly's failure to act the major disappointment of my first term in the Legislature. Stroupe: Yes. Waddell: Yes.
