The first proposal of two companion juvenile crime bills passed the House back in February, and if it becomes law will make parents finan­ cially responsible up to $1,000 for vandalism damage wilfully inflicted by their minor children, ages 12 through 17. The second, which recently passed in the Illinois House, would allow the police, sheriff or courts to reveal the identity of juvenile offenders to the victims of their wrongful acts. ' Under present Illinios law, all police and court records in­ volving delinquent minors are kept confidential under the Juvenile Court act. The new bill, sponsored by Rep. Donald E.Deuster, makes an exception to the rule of confidentiality so that crime victims may find out what juvenile inflicted their personal injury or property damage. Deuster's statement was, "The time has come for us to stop molly-coddling juvenile delinquents. We should hold them, and their parents financially accountable for their actions. Our society desperately needs to strengthen the responsibilty of individuals and the family". To that we will probably hear many an amen. Sitting behind"a_news desk, we have often been of the opinion that it might be in the best interest of society if juvenile names cfltald %e released to the media in some cases. Too often we have reluctantly printed the name of a youth involved in a crime while another just six months younger escaped the em­ barrassment of his actions in the same incident. Also, it occurs to us that proud parents might make more of an effort to learn the whereabouts of their young people if they knew their escapades might besmirch the family name. Of course, such a procedure would have its drawbacks, but so does the present system. At this time too many people hear the name teen-ager and place all of them in one category. Most of us know the majority are good citizens and we regret heartily they must share the blame caused by a few. Disclosing the identity of the offenders doesn't seem like a bad answer to us. KAF VOLUME 101 NUMBER 75 FRIDAY? MAY 27, 1977 2 SECTIONS 28 PAGES 20' School District 156 Develop Referendum Plans Postpone Hearing On Bull Valley Incorporation A hearing on the proposed referendum to incorporate a portion of Bull Valley has been postponed until June 15 at the request of the petitioners. The hearing, which was scheduled for Wednesday in Judge Roland Herrmann's chambers, was delayed so that boundaries for the proposed village can be solidified. There were two objectors to the original petition, and ac­ cording to attorney for the petitioners, both of them have been satisfied. Therefore, no problem is Bids on the new Johnsburg high school, long awaited with great interest in the com­ munity, have been awarded, of which three were to McHenry firms. It is expected that construction may start within three to five weeks. It was good news when the Johnsburg administration and board of education learned they were under budget by ap- Erratic Driving Brings DWI Charge Against Two A McHenry man was charged with numerous offenses, in­ cluding unlawful use of weapons, after being stopped on a traffic violation by a McHenry police officer at 3:15 Saturday morning. Thomas N. Mueller, 4418 Clearview, McHenry, was arrested for driving while in­ toxicated, unlawful use of weapons, no valid driver's license, improper lane usage, and resisting a peace officer following his apprehension by McHenry Police Officer John Langdon. According to the police report, Langdon spotted the Mueller auto being driven in an unsafe manner through McHenry. Langdon stopped the auto, and discovered Mueller was intoxicated. Further in­ vestigation revealed that he did not have a valid driver's license, and a bludgeon was allegedly found in the car. Mueller also apparently pushed and attempted to pull away from the police officer, resulting in his arrest on the resisting a peace officer charge. In a separate incident, another McHenry man was arrested for driving while in­ toxicated after police observed an auto being driven erratically on Rt. 120 near Riverside drive. Joseph Marzec, 730 Country Club drive, McHenry, was arrested on the DWI charge, with bond set at $1,000 for a June 2 court appearance. According to police, at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, the Marzec auto was observed, and after several attempts, the car was stopped on Pearl street. Marzec was then found to be intoxicated and was arrested on the charge. proximately 12 percent, or about $500,000. " The bid awards are con­ tingent on final approval by the State of Illinois Capital Development board, which is contributing about two-thirds of the recognized cost of the basic ^touilding, costs exclusive of the auditorium and other enrich­ ment items. The low bid for general construction was made by J. Henderson Construction of Gurnee, 111. This is the same construction firm that is presently constructing ad­ ditions in conjunction with two buildings of the Crystal Lake elementary school district. Present indications from Johnsburg school's architect is that the firm has expedited very well in Crystal Lake and this was good news. There were twelve other bidders in conjunction with the general contract bid. Of in­ terest to McHenry area citizens is the fact that the Tonyan Construction of McHenry bid of $2,764,800 was the fourth lowest. The lowest bid from J. Henderson Construction of Gurnee was $2,591,600. In mechanical bids, low bid for heating among thirteen was Allied Mechanical of Chicago.

(Continued from page 1) expected on June 15, when the judge will decide if the area can incorporate, and then set a date for a referendum to become a village. The land in question includes nearly two square miles of land in three different townships. The proposal could affect fifty-six property owners and 275 residents of the area. Since two property owners within the area in question did not want to be part of the initial incorporation, the petitioners are redesigning the boundaries of the proposed village to satisfy everyone's wishes. Another small problem that arose was the discovery of an incursion of boundaries into the Bull Valley village because of (Continued on page 16) Award New Johnsburg School Bids; Expect Construction Soon Sunnyside Neighbors Visited By Thieves Two neighboring residents of the Sunnyside area were vic­ timized by crime late Friday night or early Saturday mor­ ning, with an outboard motor being stolen and another narrowly escaping the same fate. On Saturday, James Heard, 1911 Sunnyside Beach drive, reported that during the night, someone cut the lock on his boat, which was on a hoist in his mooring, and stole his white 6 hp. outboard motor as well as. the gasoline can. At the same time, William Mclnnes, 1907 Sunnyside Beach drive, reported that during the night someone cut the lock securing his black 7.5 hp. outboard motor to his boat at a dock on the river. Fortunately for Mclnnes, the motor was not taken. In both incidents, the of­ fender has not been found. Even though two Sunnyside residents were victims of crime, it was not the only area to be marked during the week, with thieves blanketing the greater McHenry area. At 9:20 a.m. Saturday, Nilan Shuler, 4819 E. Lake Shore drive, Wonder Lake, reported that during the night, someone entered his unlocked auto and stole his CB radio. Also on Saturday, Jack Emerson, 2711 Oak street, McHenry, reported that during the night, someone forced open a window to gain entry to his camper parked on his property, and stole a ham radio, a cassette radio and recorder, and an AM-FM radio. Saturday afternoon, Rose Borchers of May street in McHenry reported to police that while at a rummage sale at the Faith Presbyterian church, Lincoln and Chapel Hill road, McHenry, someone smashed the left front window of her car in an undetermined manner. Police also investigated a theft at the Copper Mine tavern, 4921 McCullom Lake road, McHenry, reported Friday morning. Apparently, someone entered the unlocked foyer, and from a soft drink machine, stole the coin box containing about seventy dollars in change. It was believed that a key stolen at an earlier time had been used to open the machine. Friday afternoon, Nora Bowgren, 7019 Wilmot road in Spring Grove, reported that during the night someone stole (Continued on page 16) " The Task Force, assigned with the "task" of cutting $500,000 from the McHenry high school budget, spent the greater portion of Monday night's meeting not talking about areas of cutbacks, but rather discussing the type tax referendum they will recom­ mend to the District No. 156 school board. There was little discussion on monetary cutbacks that can be made, other than those discussed at a previous meeting, even though Supt. Richard Swantz told the Force that cutbacks must now total $600,000 rather than the $500,000 figure which had been used previously. The change is a result of determining exact salaries of teachers to be dismissed when Johnsburg opens its own high school in August of 1978. Rather, the Task Force delved into discussion of the tax referendum which the Force will recommend to the school board on June 28. Along with- the recom­ mendation of a tax referendum, Mexican Fiesta At Hilltop Mexican Fiesta day is an important time for these youngsters of Spanish descent, as shown by the earnest expressions on their faces as they wait their turn to perform. At a recent meeting of the board of School District 15, held at Hilltop school, the young people appeared in native costumes to per­ form dances for the board, their parents and friends. In all, about forty students par­ ticipated. Mothers of the children prepared tasty, authentic dishes that were later enjoyed by the board members, students in attendance and guests. Linda Spear is the teacher of these children enrolled in the Bilingual-Bicultural education. Continuance of the very successful program is in doubt this spring because the district has not been able to learn whether or not state funding will be available. STAFF PHOTOS-WAYNE GAYLORD with stipulations, the Task Force is expected to offer areas of cutbacks should the referendum fail, or if the school board, who will have the final say, decides against having one. Discussions of possible areas of cutbacks beyond the $200,000 or so mentioned at a previous meeting, was expected Monday night. Apparently,- however, none of the five subcommittees met in the ten-day span bet­ ween Task Force meetings to discuss further cutbacks. As a result, Task Force Chairman Mel Prust will be meeting with each of the subcommittee chairmen in­ dividually, and together, in hopes of finding cutbacks totaling $600,000. The five subcommittee chairmen and Prust will then develop a written recom­ mendation for the entire Task Force's approval. The recommendation will be sent to all Force members prior to June 14. June 14, Task Force mem­ bers who object to portions of the recommendation, or those who want to voice their opinions in favor of it, will meet at West campus at 7:30 p.m. The final recommendation will then be given to the school board at the board's June 28 meeting, and the entire matter of saving $600,000 will then be solely in the hands of the board members. Most of the Monday night meeting was spent with the Task Force members discussing the type referendum which would be recommended to the school board. Most favorable discussion surrounds the moving of all high school students to one building, through the selling of East campus and the expansioh of West campus. Thus, the Task Force is expected to recommend two proposals to the school board. One will be the recom­ mendation of a referendum, with specifics spelled out. Also, the Force appears ready to recommend areas of (Continued on page 16)
