STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Ready For Winter M c H e n r y C o u n t y Emergency services & Disaster agency (MCESDA) is taking this opportunity to remind people to take extra precautions with the ap­ proaching winter season. For the past several years, theNvinters in McHenry county have posed more than average problems. Last year's record snowfall will never be forgotten. Winter stflgfns can occur in many forms such as cold waves, ice or glaze storms, heavy snow storms or blizzards. Frequently, the same storm changes precipitation form several times during its lifetime. All winter storms have common features despite the different forms of precipitation or weather they produce. They have the capability to completely immobilize large areas, Each, in its own way, is a potential killer of hun­ dreds of people wherever and whenever the storm hits. Fortunately, winter storms are events which can be forecast and well informed, knowledgeable citizens can take protective measures to assure their personal safety. MCESDA initiates 24-hour operations when weather conditions warrant and activates, their Emergency Operating center. This office has National Weather Service (NWS) teletype, weather radio receivers and direct radio contact with NWS. John J. Shay, director of MCESDA, said that when a snow storm closes down roads, their office, through its radio contacts with fire, rescue, police, county high­ way department, and township radios, coordinates emergency movements in McHenry county. Over 100 calls for assistance were received during one storm last year, Shay said. He added that the Emergency Assistance division, com­ prised mainly of volunteers who own 4-wheel drive vehicles and snowmobiles, are able to get to those areas that become inaccessible due to heavy snow. Volunteers are always welcome for this or any of the other twelve (12) divisions associated with j^C£SD^^4^tose ifliUCCTfl additional information or an application, may contact the MCESDA office at 815-338- 6400. Do not bite at the bait of pleasure till you know there is no hook beneath it. -Thomas Jefferson.

DECEMBER 1,1979 Illegal Tax Protests Articles on illegal tax protesters have appeared recently in newspapers in different parts of the coun­ try. Proponents of illegal tax protest have been going around the country making speeches and conducting seminars telling taxpayers how to evade paying taxes. To clarify some of the misconceptions these illegal tax protesters present as fact, the Internal Revenue service has prepared the following questions and answers : Q. I was at a meeting recently where a speaker told us IRS laws violate my rights against self- incrimination under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, so I don't have to pay or file income tax. Is that true? A. No. Federal tax laws are in harmony with the Constitution. As early as 1927, and in many cases since then, the courts have consistently ruled that no one may refuse to file a Federal income tax return because of the 5th Amend­ ment privilege against self- incrimination. Q. What can happen to a person who refuses to file a federal tax return? A. If a person has an obligation to file a federal tax return, but knowingly and willingly refuses to do so, that person, if convicted, can be fined upto $10,000, be imprisoned up to one year, or both. Q. Are there any other penalties for failure to fiTe a federal tax return? A. In addition to criminal sanctions for willful failure to file a tax return or pay income taxes, a taxpayer may be subject to penalties of up to 25 percent of the underpayment for failure to file or for filing after the due date, or a penalty of 50 percent of the underpayment where civil fraud is involved. Q. What can the IRS do to collect taxes a person refuses to pay? A. Congress has given the IRS the legal authority to enforce collection. If no m u t u a l l y a g r e e a b l e payment plan between the IRS and the taxpayer can be achieved, enforcement action may include at­ taching salaries or wages and seizing property.
