/ SECTION 2 - PAGE 2 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, MAY 9,1979 Sunnyside Area Betty Messer 344-2494 §gt. Mitchell Becomes Chief Chicago has Jayne Byrne and Sunnyside has Donna Mitchell. For several months Sgt. Mit­ chell has been acting chief of the Sunnyside police depart­ ment. In a special meeting a week and a half ago the police commission appointed Sgt. Mitchell chief of police. A first for Sunnyside, to have a woman as chief of police. We believe it's also a first for McHenry county. Chief Mitchell didn't come by this title easily. There's a lot of hard work over the past two years and many hours of schooling. Donna completed her police mandate at the IHinois state police facilities in Joliet last November. She takes every course offered to police officers that time permits in an effort to learn all she can and to constantly improve the department. The promotion is in recognition of the excellent job Chief Mitchell is doing updating the Sunnyside police department. Taking orders from a woman does not come easy to a lot of men. But Chief Mitchell has earned the friendship and respect of her fellow police WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES ON SALE ITEMS officers. Not just in Sunnyside, but neighboring towns and the county sheriff's office. Two of Sunnyside's police officers are experienced police officers with a number of years in police work. Serving under Chief Mitchell are Officers George Davie, Fred Rau, Rick Lindley and juvenile Officer, Lillian Pomonis. Police work isn't new to Chief Mitchell. Her father was a police officer and she has a brother who is a detective on the city of Chicago police department. Congratulations, Chief Donna Mitchell of the Sunnyside police department. , VILLAGE MEETING ; The regular monthly meeting of the village of Sunnyside was held on Tuesday May 1, at the junior high. Newly elected officials of the April 17 election were sworn into office by the village attorney, Donald Truckenbrod, before the start of the business meeting. The police commissioner advised the board of the promotion of Sgt. Mitchell to chief of police. Mr. Vern Treptau came before the board to request a Class B liquor license to operate a packaged liquor mart. Permission was granted by liquor commissioner President Raymond Nolan and the board. A number of residents of the Sudeenew subdivision were in attendance in the hopes of getting road problems in their area straightened out. The developer of the subdivision has been remiss in bringing the roads up to standard. Hopefully the matter was settled to everyone's satisfaction. NEW BUSINESS Mr. Vern Treptau was granted a Class B liquor license at the May 1 meeting of the village of Sunnyside. PISTAKEE TERRACE Charlene Griswold, wife of Wilbur Griswold, president of the Pistakee Terrace homeowners association wishes to acknowledge the Johnsburg rescue squad. Mr. Griswold suffered an aneurism and was taken by the John­ sburg rescue squad to the McHenry hospital. Mr. Griswold is out of in­ tensive care now and recovering nicely and should be home soon to complete his convalescence. BASKETBALL COURT Last week I mentioned a basketball court supposedly on the Pistakee Beach property. But a call from Mr. Winn Phillips informed me that I was not given the proper in­ formation. Mr. Phillips lives next to the beach property and the basketball court is on his private property, and does not belong to the Terrace beach property. Mr. Phillips had the court built for his sons when they were younger. Mr. Phillips says he allows teens to play basketball on his court as long as they respect his property and they can continue to use the court as long as they do not get unruly and damage his property. FLOOD INSURANCE On Thursday, May 10, a special meeting will be held for residents of Sunnyside on flood insurance. The meeting con­ cerns the new flood insurance program and there will be people to answer any questions one may have in regard to said insurance. The meeting will be held at the Johnsburg junior high at 8 p.m. in rooms 30 and 31. Flood insurance specialist Alan Birman of the department of Housing and Urban Develop­ ment will be the speaker. This meeting is important to those who live along the Fox River or any body of water designated flood hazard area. To be a success, there must be a clear understanding of the program by the citizens and the officials. That is the purpose of this meeting. So be sure to attend. OKLAHOMA VACATION Lynn Davis and Mable Zawislak recently returned from a week's sight-seeing tour. They took a leisurely drive through the Ozarks and down into Oklahoma.

BAG Top Science Teachers Speak For Conference Johnsburg high school hosted the second annual Unified Science conference last weekend. All high schools in Illinois and Wisconsin were invited to send representatives. This year's conference was designed to have a dual pur­ pose. Its first goal was to bring together users of Unified Science to talk about problems and solutions encountered in implementing the program. The second goal was to promote the concept of Unified Science. The principles of science have been traditionally classified by scholars into categories called Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. Teaching classes according to these arbitrary divisions involves repetition of much of the student's time dealing with common principles. Unified Science develops common principles and themes that are inherent in all categories of science. Johnsburg science teacher Jim Albright directed the conference. Speakers included some of the top science teachers in Illinois. State Assists RIF Teachers State Superintendent Joseph M. Cronin has announced a program designed to assist teachers who this Spring are being honorably discharged due to district reductions in for^e. "Recent news reports claim 'severe' teacher shor­ tages. Such claims are greatly exaggerated, but there are some very real shortages in several teaching fields: speech and language impairment, agriculture, mathematics, chemistry, physics and some areas of special education," said Cronin. "We know that hundreds of teachers will be getting notice of honorable dismissal and many will be in fields for which other districts are seeking to hire staff. To assist those teachers who wish to return to the classroom next fall, as well as tc assist districts who are finding it difficult to locate teachers, I am establishing a statewide registry for teachers reduced in force. Each district is encouraged to provide our Certification and Placement Section with a list of those teachers who will be dismissed because of a reduction in force. Regional Superintendents, as well as teachers and their professional organizations, are asked to assist in identifying those who will be dismissed." The Certification and Placement section of the Illinois Office of Education provides a monthly vacancy list showing teaching positions for which districts are recruiting. It also assists districts seeking to fill positions by maintaining a registration and referral system of educators actively seeking positions. Dr. Cronin encouraged districts to report vacancies and make use of the statewide registry. "Teachers who are getting dismissal notices because of reduction in force want to stay in teaching. These are the very individuals who have proven experience and may be just the candidates for whom neighboring districts are looking." To register as a teacher dismissed because of a reduction in force, teachers and districts are asked to provide the following information: Name of teacher, address, telephone number, district of present employment, cer­ tificates held, teaching fields, and other abilities. This information should be forwarded to the Certification and Placement Section, Illinois Office of Education, 100 North First Street, Springfield, 111., 62777. That information will be shared with districts seeking teachers in given subject areas and teaching specialties. MCC Tartan "Outstanding" |Save *1.00 this week and check our cluesl for the hidden case of C.C. FRITO-LAY FANTASTIX 5 OZ. BAG OR McHenry County college's student newspaper, the Tartan, has been named as an out­ standing Illinois Community college newspaper of 1979. The Tartan tied for top honors with the Morton College Collegian in an April 27 com­ petition sponsored by the Illinois community college Journalism Association (ICC- JA). The MCC newspaper, which is published by students at the college every two weeks during Spring and Fall semesters, was cited for "overall excellehce, for a paper that provides a wealth of news and features to its readers". The Tartan received in­ dividual blue ribbon awards for excellence in journalism in feature writing, sportswriting, photo journalism, newswriting and layout. The awards were presented at a Spring conference at the College of Lake County in Grayslake. Judges for the statewide competition were from the department of jour­ nalism at Northern Illinois university The ICCJA is a statewide association which has members in most of the Illinois community colleges with journalism programs. Nineteen students have been involved in producing the Tartan during this last school year. The student editor, Joanne Murin of Crystal Lake, is a returning woman student who has worked on the Tartan staff for three semesters. Other students who worked on the paper during the year include Steve Stanek, MCC board, faculty and political editor; Joe Walter, features editor; and Michael Grothman, business manager; Hans Heidler, Lee Longo and Kay Scolaro, all of McHenry; and John Vrett, Wonder Lake. Revision Proposed For Warehouse Standards Better security against financial losses of stored commodities for eligible far­ mers would be available as a result of a proposed revision of standards for approval of warehouses, Jim Lucas, county executive director of the McHenry County Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said. Lucas said: "The Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) proposal is subject to public comment until June 4. The revision would provide more financial protection for the CCC, for warehousemen and be in- worth f o r COOLING SYSTEMS SPECIALISTS RADIATORS - Repaired, Recored, New Completes AIR CONDITIONING - Parts & Service TRANSMISSION COOLERS ADAMS BROS.

Minimum net r e q u i r e m e n t s warehousemen would be $25,000, or the amount calculated, whichever is greater, but need not exceed $250,000. The proposed revision would apply to warehousemen storing: (1) cotton or cotton linters; (2) grain, rice, dry edible beans and seed; and (3) processed agricultural com­ modities, extracted honey and bulk oils. « Written comments should be submitted to Paul W.
