A resolution was passed by the board of supervisors to form a Board of Health. According to the statutes, this board must include two- physicians, one dentist, one representative of the County board, and four citizens-at-large. When the* Board of Health was ap­ pointed in April of 1966 they began meeting to develop by-laws and form the Department of Health. In June of 1966, with a staff of two nurses and one secretary, the department opened its doors as a home health agency. In 1967, the Board of Health and the Health and Agriculture committee of the McHenry County board of supervisors became concerned about sanitary conditions in restaurants. The Health department, responding to this concern", requested that a survey of the conditions in the restaurants be conducted by the Illinois Department of Public Health. That survey was conducted in September of 1967 and ihe conditions in the restaurants were found to be quite poor. Based oa this information and their concern for protecting the health of the people in McHenry county, the Board of Health and the Health and Agriculture committee recommended to the coanty board of super­ visors /that the department expand to include a Division of Environmental Health for the purpose of initiating a Food Service Sanitation program. Ia 1971. the Board of Health and the Health and Apiculture committee held a joint meeting to discuss the advantages and disad­ vantages of having a separate office of the county veterinarian or of including the county veterinarin function as a portion 6f the Health department responsibilities. The con­ clusion of the joint meeting was that the best interest of the people of McHenry county could be served if the office of the county veterinarian was discon­ tinued and made a part of the Department of Health as the Division of Veterinary Public Health. This was accomplished effective Dec. 1, 1971. In the coming months personnel will be describing in capsule form, the various programs of the three divisions which the depart­ ment is now providing for the people of McHenry county.

A picnic can be a time of joy and a good time can be had by all. A few precautionary measures can assise that the picnic will ribt cause people to become ill through a food borne illness. Foods such as tuna fish salad, chicken salad, other meat salads, food with cr­ eam sauces or fillings such as custards or filled baked goods, should not be served at a picnic. Also, potato salad made with mayon­ naise or salad dressing should be avoided. Food being prepared for picnic should be prepared with cleaned and sanitized utensils and equipment, properly cooked and held either at 140 degrees Fahrenheit or hotter or at 45 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. The cooking must include cooking pork to at least 150 degrees Fahrenheit and poultry to at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit, such temperature being reached at the deepest part of the meat. In the preparation of the food, careful attention should be made to thoroughly washing hands before beginning the preparation and at any time there is an interruption during preparing of the food. In preparing large por­ tions of food, do not try to refrigerate jt in deep * con­ tainers since the center of the large mass of food may still be warm when the outer edges are nearly frozen. Use a shallow pan of no more than3 to 4 inches in depth for refrigerating these large volumes of food. Protect the food from contamination after being prepared by keeping it covered except during any additional preparationsteps and during the time of serving. Once the foods that are to ; be kept cold have been chilled, „ place them in |an insulated container which is large enough to include enough room for bags of ice, ice cubes or the frozen chemical refrigerant. This will help keep the cold food at 45 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Also, try to keep the cooler out of the direct sun and if that is not possible, an old blanket or other protection could be thrown over the cooler. A hot casserole should be wrapped in several. layers of in­ sulating material and kept in a hot chest or thermos until time for serving. Those who would like more specific information or if planning an outing, may contact the department and ask for a copy of Article VI of the McHenry county public health ordinance - Tem­ porary Food Service Establishments. Also, a booklet entitled "Recom­ mended Food Service Operations and Facilities for Temporary Food Service Establishments" is available. Your Police Department I PAGE »- PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY.

His style is basically classical but Kevin in­ corporates many other styles and uses his gift for music to express what he feels for his Savior. Kevin has performed.at numerous colleges, univer­ sities and major concert halls throughout the United States and Canada including Milwaukee auditorium, Arie Crown theatre in Chicago, Expo theatre in Montreal and Orpheum theatre in Vancouver. the old song Summer's here, and the'time is right, for dancing in the streets. Well, almost, but more people will be walking and crossing streets; getting out and going shopping; and generally getting a little exercise to try and lose those few extra pounds put on ever the Winter months. Also, there is already evidence in McHenry that the state is going to loosen those purse strings and try to repair and change the streets and intersections in town. We have seen the con­ struction still going on at the intersection of Front and Elm streets, and there is going to be much more there, and also on Richmond road, and Green street. We can all help these men, and women finish their work faster by driving much more carefully whenever we are in the area of the construction zones, and help the workers feel a little safer. Pay more attention to the flagmen who are trying to make the passage through the area safe for everyone, and watch out for the workers walking in the street. Construction on the roads is a pain in the tailpipe, but once is is over, we can all enjoy the benefits, as long as the price isn't an injury to a worker. I'd like to run a quasi- repeat, update to the first article that I wrote for the Plaindealer which in­ troduced you all to your Police department.
