POLICE NEWS Police Chief Earl Buck supplied the list of names of those civic-minded residents who have graciously volun­ teered their time as police dispatchers. These people really came through when there was a great need. They put in a total of 172 hours manning the police phone and dispatching. The following people deserve a pat on the back: Donna Tobeck, Nancy Weber, A1 Kapp, Chris Hoglund, Marilyn and Chris Zelvis, Joan Bartel, Sarah Sosinski, Dave Alton, and Buryl Grimes. A permanent dispatcher is being sought. The new police radio, ISPERN, is here. (ISPERN stands for Illinois State Police emergency Radio Network.) This means that the village has a direct link to the state police for emergency situations. An appeal is made to all village residents to report juvenile prowlers and juveniles who are in violation of the curfew, which is 11 p.m. week nights and midnight on weekends. This curfew or­ dinance applies to all of those individuals under eighteen years of age. BIRTHDAYS June birthday celebrators include John Ferbrache, June 1. June 2 was Marian Barrows' big day.

WATCH OUT Youngsters playing in the creek are in for a surprise. You may get stuck in the mire and not be able to get out. If you must play near the creek, at least do so away from other people's property and don't attempt to go walking in the creek. Too many passersby have had to save young people from the muddy creek, so don't consider it a safe place in which to play. VILLAGE BOARD NEWS On June 7, the village board met for the first time at its newly scheduled Thursday night board meetings. There were sixteen people present. Some of the items on the agenda were the following: The board accepted the resignation of Buryl Grimes as deputy clerk. Clerk Larsen appointed Janet Irwin as the new deputy clerk. President Grimes an­ nounced the appointment of the firm of Hampton, Lenzini, and Renwick as the new village engineers. Ron Grant and Bill Wilson, two of our new trustees, resigned from the planning commission. Their positions on the planning commission have been taken by former ex-officio members, Lindsey Schienert and Dan Lindgren, Tuesday, June 26 is the date for the annual Revenue Sharing and Appropriations ordinance to be discussed, and input from the residents is being requested with special attention paid to the Revenue Sharing Funds. Be there to make your comments known. Various and sundry items were brought up before the board by members of the audience, but they will be discussed in next week's column. REC REPORTS The recreation program began this week. If you have not yet registered for any event or activity, contact the village hall. There are still openings in the Disco class, story hour, and arts and crafts for 4 to 7 year olds. There is still time to register for the Fishing Derby to be held at Moraine Hills state park, June 30. Much time, effort, and planning have gone into this recreation program. IT you don't avail yourselves of this opportunity to participate in something worthwhile and enjoyable this summer, don't complain about having nothing to do or no one to play with. Few communities have the volunteers and willing workers to provide such a program. It's for your benefit; don't neglect to be a part of it. It just may be the fun and excitement you've been looking forward to this summer. There is a plan to go door-to- door to ask for donations for the recreation program. Also, letters are being written to many of the businesses in the surrounding area requesting any donations of equipment which they would be able to provide. Much equipment still has to be purchased for the various activities; if the businesses will donate some of it and the residents will defray the cost of some of it, the program will be a success. Mr. John Fuhler donated money towards the park equipment. This generous gift will help provide many fun filled hours for our young people. Two local businesses donated items to be used in the playground. Debbie Peek has been ap­ pointed recreation director. She won't be able to do the entire job alone, however. Help from the village volunteers will still be needed. PREPARE NOW Prepare now for another village wide garage sale day. It will be Saturday, Sept. 1, for one day only. REMINDERS The next meeting of the village board is June 21, at the annex. There is a zoning variance request hearing, June 14, at the annex. Items still' needed for the recreation program are one volleyball net, a basketball, a soccer ball, and a croquet set. The volunteers who will solicit door-to-door for funds for the recreation program will have a letter from the village president authorizing them to do this. This will assure you of their legitimacy. Rejoice - summer will soon be upon us. I V.A. NEWSl Editor's Note: Following are representative questions an­ swered daily by VA counselors. Full information is available at any VA office.

OH, WELL If you've missed the column these past few weeks, you might have only yourself to blame. I enjoy writing the column, but contrary to some reports, the column is not fiction True, there have geen times when I was tempted to make up news, but I have restrained myself. If you don't call me with news, there isn't any, and there will be no column. People love reading about your parties and your kids' birthdays and your ac­ complishments, honest they do; so don't be too shy to call me with news. If you don't call me, maybe no one else will either; so make yourself pick up the phone. I promise I'll do all the talking, just tell me why you're calling, and I'll ask all the questions. Even monosyllabic answers will do, all I need are bare details. I want to go on doing the column, but I need you. Archeological Find Last week a scientific team from the Illinois State Museum, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, announced the discovery of an 11,000 year old projectile point at Mastodon state park in Jefferson county, Missouri. Dr. Russell Graham, director of the team, said the research at the park "promises to shed new light on what is known about some of the earliest Indians to settle the Midwest and the causes for the extinction of the mastodon, an elephant'like animal thought to have become extinct about 10,000 years ago." Illinois State Museum Director R. Bruce McMillan said the in­ vestigations are an integral part of a long-term research program being conducted by the museum to study man-land relationships in the Mississippi River Valley IttellBMSY ItolHtt OPEN EVENINGS 'TIL 9 ifHtwishiiHis Hof.f ol Ji Imtmjn 0'f» ALL WOOD China Cabinet Suggested Table and 6 chairs Price FATHER'S DAY V to NOW TRADITIONAL SOFA & LOVESCAT IjfciMlm SUCCtSTll fttCt 1149 s899" ONE WEEK ONLY LARGE SELECTION TABLE LAMPS Buy 1 at our Regular Low Price « Receive 2nd FREE!
