Business owners are now starting to fight back by having the offenders arrested and filing charges. Shoplifting is a nice word for what the crime in Illinois really is, theft; or more precisely, theft under $150. It can be a theft of anything from a candy bar to a power tool, from a pack of cigarettes to a pair of shoes. Thefts occur in all types of stores; from the drug store to the department store; by all types of people young and old, poor and well-to-do. Many offenders think they have a good reason to steal, and the most frustrating for the offender, is need. However, the reason which is hardest to understand, is the theft of anything for "Kicks", where there is no specific need or use, only the "Kick" of maybe getting away with it. What adds to this "Kick" is the thought, "They (the business) won't miss it, and they have insurance to cover the loss anyhow, so taking something that isn't mine doesn't matter." The penalties for theft can vary, depending on the age of the offender. First time offenders, under the age of 17 years, are usually taken to the Police Station, their parents are called to come and get them, and an ap­ pointment is made for the family to come to the station for a conference with a juvenile office. If it happens again, the offender could be taken to court. The mistaken notion that juveniles cannot be arrested and taken away from their parents is usually a great shock, as the juvenile is led away to a juvenile detention center, such as the Lake County Youth Home, Rosecranse Home in Rock- ford, or worse, the Depart­ ment of Corrections in St. Charles. The adult is something different. When an adult 17 years or older is arrested he or she is taken to the Police Station and placed under arrest. There, the person is fingerprinted and processed, and a "mug shot" is taken. After the complaint is signed by the store owner or manager, the person must post a cash bond, usually $1,000, and a court date is set for the person to enter his or her plea of either guilty or not guilty. If the person pleads guilty, the person is given a fine which could be as high as $500. If the person pleads not guilty, he is given a new date for a trial with either a judge alone, or a six or twelve-man jury. All expenses or court costs are paid by the offender if found guilty, and added to the fine. Plus, if found guilty, the defendant will have a police record that will stay with him for the rest of his Ufe The odds of getting caught ire fast moving to the shop owner's favor. If you are caught, the fines can be much more than the item would have cost if you had paid for it in the first place, therefore, if you can't afford something, wait till you can. It's the only correct way. McHenry Area Jaycees Hold Membership Night Jim Rooney, began as the new campus minister at McHenry County college July 1. He replaces Fr.

Answers to Bible Verso It is not uncommon to hear people complain that they never seem to be able to achieve the goals that they set for themselves. Having dreams of what one would like to accomplish is often quite easy, yet actually taking practical steps to transform dreams into reality is a different matter altogether. One reason people have such difficulty in realizing their goals lies in the way they go about formulating their objectives. A wrong step at the beginning can make for a whole journey in the wrong direction. It is thus very important to examine the process of goal setting so that one can begin any project on firm footing. There is one common mistake that people make when setting goajj£ The mistake that is oftegggiade is that of creating gofels that are so vague and general that they are almost meaningless. Such goals make it difficult to formulate concrete plans for their achievement, and make it almost impossible for a person to even know^|hether or not they have11 reached their destination. An example of such a useless goal might be per­ sonal growth. While on the surface it may sound good, it is really too vague to be of much use. To make it useful it would be necessary to make it more specific. One would need to know specifically in which ways it would be desirable to grow. A more useful objective would be something like wanting to learn to play the guitar. With this more concrete goal, it is easy to picture the steps one would need to take in order to obtain the objective. The importance of realistic goal setting is beautifully summarized in a quote by Robert Ardrey. He stated "While we pursue the unattainable we make im­ possible the realizable". The message here is simple: Do not waste your time pur­ suing .abstract concepts, rather work toward the satisfaction of goals which are obtainable.
