PAGE 4"- PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15,1980 * ***************************************** * * Public Relations Officer * McHenry City Police J Phone 385-2^31 J kMMMMM •TTTTT i Your Police Department by Officer Jim Fitzgerald There have been quite a few questions asked of us pertaining to the curfew law which is in effect in the City of McHenry. Most of them are in regard to ages, times, and who the law effects. The law states that any person, male or female, under the age of 18, cannot be on the street, or off his- her parents' property bet­ ween the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, and between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m. Friday and Saturday. The exceptions to this are obviously when the child is with his-her parents or guardian, or in the case of an emergency! According to this law the minor must be home, not * JOIN US AND ENJOY MUSIC BY DAVE DALTON FRIDAY, FEB. 15th Starting 9 pm...til 1:00am OAK PARK HOTEL AMUMMCf ON PISTAKEE BAY sjisttfr HOT Window and Wall Decor mar coverings going home, at the set times; or he-she will be picked up- by the police if caught out past the curfew. In the event a juvenile is out past the set times, the parents will be called by the station and will have to come to the police station and pick up their children. Children cannot be released to anyone other than the parents, and, of course, they cannot be allowed to go home by themselves. Parents should also take note of the fact that a juvenile's driver's license to operate a motor vehicle becomes invalid at the times of curfew; in effect, the child does not any longer have a driver's license. Should the child be in a motor vehicle driving home past curfew, and has an accident, his-her driver's license is no good, and this could cause a few serious problems. The other notable thing for parents is that they also could be charged with allowing their children to be out past curfew. That could mean a fine, (which could be rather hefty if the child is a repeater) and-or a period of time spent in the county jail for the parents. That in itself is enough to make sure the kids obey the law, in my book, at least. Should parents have problems with their children repeatedly staying out past curfew, arrangements can be made to see one of our juvenile officers. He will be glad to helpr There is now enough snow on the ground to make the area resemble a mini-winter wonderland, but with the snow has also come the normal amount of traffic accidents caused by snow and ice. People, althotigh using a little more care and caution, especially right after a new snowfall, are still going just a tad too fast. Sometimes they are not able to make the stop in time to avoid a "fender bender". Let's all try to be a little more careful, and avoid these minor, but sometimes ex­ pensive, "fender benders". Remember that roads are going to be particularity slippery on the few bridges we have here in town, and all of the intersections are going to be slick. When cars stop for traffic lights or signs- at in­ tersections the exhaust melts some of the snow into water, and when the cars leave, the water turns into ice. If the ice gets, as light dusting of snow, it becomes even slicker and there is almost no way to stop, short of hitting something. Even when the city comes out and sands the intersection, it can never get all of the ice, and there will still be slippery spots, so watch it. Then, when the snow and ice are gone, intersections can still be slippery, because of all the sand which cars can slide on. Everyone is doing a good job but there is always room for im­ provement. I have a little word of warning for all you people lucky enough to have snowmobiles. Please be careful whenever you use a Uke or the river. We have had far too many calls of snowmobiles goin£ through the ' ice and people being hurt. Remember, with the weird winter weather we have been having (don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the warm­ th), there are going to be weak spots in the ice cover," especially where there are springs feeding the lakes, and it will not be too hard for you to break through the ice and go swimming. When you are in a snowmobile suit, swimming is not very easy, not to mention cold. Please be careful. Have a good week. People who talk fast and much often outrun their facts. u w ,• SAVE 25% •n SHADES • WOVEN WOODS • SHUTTERS SALE ENDS FEBRUARY 29th. HOURS: 9:30-5:30 Daily 9:00 5:00 Sat. Closed Sun.

TEAMS Competition At MCC High school students from throughout the county will compete at McHenry County college Feb. 21 in the third annual state TEAMS~"Test of Engineering, Aptitude, Mathematics and Science"- academic competition. There will be teams of 14 students from each high school competing in the Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) testing which is being held at MCC for the second year. Winners of the local competition will advance to the state finals to be held at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana on March 3. "There will be tests in seven academic areas: biology, chemistry, English, mathematics, graphics, physics and the use of pocket calculators," explained MCC biology instructor Doug Grdve. Dr. Grove said that the winning teams will receive trophies, and the individual winners in each subject area will receive an award. Individual high school students who are interested in competing in the event should contact their high school or science teachers to find out about joining the team from their school, Grove said. Each student can compete in one or two areas. The highest tjvo scores in each subject by team members are used to determine the composite team score. There will be separate divisions in the contest for schools with more than 750 students enrolled and for schools with 750 or less students.
