An Export Answers Why Should Employer Consider Ex-Offenders? MICHAEL GIBBONS ATTENDSCOURSE Michael Gibbons, son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Gibbons; Wonder Lake, sponsored by the American Legion Post No. 1169 of Wonder Lake, has been attending the Premier Boys State held at the Eastern Illinois university the week of June 12-19. Michael will be a senior this fall at the McHenry high school, is active in sports, and will be president of his class in the 1976-77 school year. Why should an employer even bother to consider hiring an ex-offender? That question recently was thrown, point-blank at one of the country's top experts in criminal rehabilitation. The expert, Raymond D. Cur ran, executive director of Chicago's SAFER foundation had a very succinct answer: "Because it saves money for everyone concerned." How? According to the U.S Chamber of Commerce and the American Correction association, it costs about $12,000 annually to maintain a person in prison. Obviously, if upon his or her release, the ex-offender becomes gainfully employed and does"not return to prison, then the state can experience a $12,000 tax saving. In Illinois this can amount to millions, since thousands have been released on parole in recent years. Unfortunately, the national recidivism (return to crime and prison) rate ranges from 30 to 75 percent depending on locality. And, equally distressing is the fact that up to 70 percent of the national arrests are linked to ex- offender "repeaters." "We must retrain the ex- offender and put hjm to work," says Curran, and he should know. Since 1970 his organization has placed 3,770 ex-offenders in meaningful jobs, saving millions in tax­ payers moneis. SAFER accomplishes its work via special programs designed to help the ex-offender reintegrate into society, gain confidence, find a job and stick to it. And, it's not an easy task, requiring two very essential ingredients: well-trained volunteers who work with the ex-offenders qn a one-to-one basis and highly skilled staff of Village of McHenry Shores Inge Aide 344-1984 - - . >,, June Board Meeting Covers Full Schedule At the regular meeting of the ooard of trustees of the village of McHenry Shores on June 16 all were present with the ex­ ception of Trustee Clarence Schweikert. A letter was read from the McHenry County Municipal association inviting the trustees and the president to a meeting on June 23. Election of officers and a speaker from the Illinois Department of Transportation are on the agenda. Several bills were approved for payment. Ray LaFrancis gave a second reading of the dog run or­ dinance which is an amend­ ment to ordinance No. 2. When it was passed, it was designated ordinance No. 2.10. A proposed amendment regarding swimming pools was also read. Trustee LaFrancis also in­ formed the board that John Fuhler wants to blacktop Vine from Barreville to Hollywood and from Hollywood to Forest at no expense to the village. It was stipulated that the request should be submitted to the . village board in writing and that the board insist on exer­ cising control over the work done. The building and zoning officer, Leon Zelvis, requested a variance on the septic systems of two lots which have not been passed by the county. Police Chief Earl Buck asked that the sign at the beach, "For Residents Only" be removed and that the raft in the water be taken out if it cannot be an­ chored securely. The Police Chief also informed the board that Officer Sanford officially charged a suspect in the burglary of three homes. He furthermore stated that the burglar of the village hall in­ cident was convicted. The road commissioner Russ Haderly, informed the board that all the patching of roads has been finished. The treasurer, Dani Sanford, presented a check to the village for 50 percent of the profits of the Shoreline club which is to be used for recreatipnal equip­ ment. Jeff Hayes has been ap­ pointed as youth director to * work with the children of the village during the summer, mostly in baseball and bad­ minton. He offered to also dive at the beach and attempt to secure the raft. The water fountain at the beach has been repaired by the water company but it was stated that this was absolutely the last time. (So, please, kids, let's be careful with it!) An air conditioner has been purchased for the village hall at 3211 Beach drive. Another one and a refrigerator have been approved. A variance was granted in accordance with Mr. Zelvis's request in order to prevent the installation of an inferior system. After the meeting the board went into an executive session. SWIMMING POOLS On June 30 at 7:30 there will be a public discussion on the proposed swimming pool or­ dinance, at 3211 Beach drive. Everybody will be given a number when he or she arrives and these numbers will be called in order to give everybody a chance to voice their opinion without the meeting resulting in chaos. At this meeting there will also be given out information that was received at a joint meeting with the County Health department, the county building and zoning people, representatives from the State's Attorney's office, concerned citizens, the village president, the village clerk and the building and zoning officer. SHORELINE WAVES The next meeting of the Shoreline club will be held at 3208 W.

Have a happy and safe holiday weekend! experts in law, criminal psychology and communication skills to administer and oversee the programs. But, says Curran, "it's worth it." To date SAFER is enjoying much lower recidivism rate than the national average. However, isn't there always the danger of an ex-offender turning sour, quitting or even doing some violent act at his place of employment? "Yes," says Curran, "but if the ex-offender is properly trained and handled, he enters his new job as a good risk. He's no more dangerous than any other employee if properly reintegrated and rehabilitated. This is why SAFER goes to every length possible to assure employers of good workers." Curran pointed to a 1975 survey publicized by the California Management Review in which Maine com­ panies hiring ex-offenders rated them superior in the areas of work quality, work quantity, industry, initiative, cooperativeness, integrity, acceptability and longevity. Do Illinois employers agree? Apparently so. To date a total of 3,000 different companies in the Chicago area, including Commonwealth Edison, Xerox corporation, and the American Can company, have hired SAFER "graduates." Rehabilitation also can save in other ways, says Curran. At present America's prisons are over-populated. And, countless stories have been written about prisons hardening instead of rehabilitating criminals. "Contrary to what some may feel, a lot of wardens and their staffs do very good work, but they are overworked," says Curran. "And, you can't solve the problem merely by building more prisons. "It costs some $50 million in taxpayers money to build a new prison. And building a prison is merely fighting the symptoms of crime, not the causes. If you want to fight the cause, you must retrain the individual. •••••• BICENTENNIAL JoWise Pant Suits .

Senior CIHxens Council Moves To New location Soon The McHenry County Senior Citizens council will be moving its main office to a new location July 1. The council has been given office space for the past year by the McHenry county C.E.T.A. in Woodstock. McHenry County C.E.T.A. will be moving to 225 W Judd street, in Woodstock, and the Senior Citizens council will be moving along with them "The move will be a short one," said Marge Jones, executive director for the council, "just around the corner and across the street from the Social Securtiy of­ fice." "We think our new headquarters will be more convenient for our clients and will afford more privacy, since we will have a separate en­ trance. When seniors go to the main entrance, the door to the left will put them directly into the area of our office. Any questions pertaining to the move can be answered by calling 455-2660 or 338-6075," concluded Mrs. Jones. Seniors whose call-pac does not extend to these numbers may call collect. The Veterans administration health-care system provides care in 171 hospitals, 213 out­ patient clinics, 85 nursing homes and 18 domiciliaries. SECTION 2 - P AGE 7 - PLAINDEALER-WF.DNESDAY.

Are all medications clearly labeled, topped with child-proof caps, and locked in a medicine cabinet ? 2. Do I carry medicines in a purse or jacket pocket...and forget to remove them and lock them away while home? 3. Do I keep away moths with those old-fashioned-candy- looking mothballs? 4. Do I keep detergents, waxes and other cleaning aides under the kitchen sink in an unlocked cabinet? What, cleaning aides are under the bathroom sink, or in the laundry room? 5. Do I store gasoline for the power mower in a soft drink bottle? 6. Do I have poisonous products sitting about my workroom or garage Or attic? 7. What is in my car's glove compartment and trunk1 8. Do I refer to pills and other medicines as "candy?" 9. Do I know that "ordinary" baby powder -- talcum powder - • can cause a serious type of pneumonia when inhaled7 10. Do I leave cleaning agents I may be using sit unguarded while I run to answer the telephone or doorbell? It only takes a moment: One swallow^ of the wrong substance can leaa to death. Over 75 percent of childhood poisonings occur when an adult is called away and a child is left alone with a poisonous substance If your child - or anyone -- does accidentally ingest a poisonous substance, call a hospital immediately - before calling anyone else.
