MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) balanced national budget and nearly two-thirds believe the defense budget should be increased. Unfortunately, teens are much like adults when it comes to economics. Taxes are a bugaboo for them. A healthy 74 percent would vote to limit property taxes, but when asked what services they'd give up, most couldn't name more than three out of 10, with welfare heading the list of expendable programs. A majority expect to earn more than their parents, but unless they bone up on economics and the free enterprise system, their paychecks may be less than their dreams. Nearly 60 percent think* business should keep employees' wages rising as fast as inflation. But two-thirds feel business should take the lead in reducing inflation by limiting price increases. Maybe these incongruous statements are due to the fact that the majority of the teens having little or no economics training in school. And they aren't sure what kind of economic system they'd like to see in America - which probably makes them like the majority of adults, most of whom just want it to work better than it has been working. KAF COUNTY APPROVES BUDGET (Continued from page 1) the appropriation submitted. A delegation from the McHenry County Council of the American Legion was on hand to seek an in­ crease in the veterans assistance fund, which has remained at $15,000 for many years. The board voted a tentative fund of $20,000 and arranged a meeting with the American Legion representatives so groundwork could be started in the development of a veterans com­ mission to handle assistance cases. A motion to increase funding for senior citizens from the $3,000 ap­ propriated to $12,000 failed on a 14-9 vote. In addition to quibbling over the senior citizens appropriation and a $20,000 line item for travel and meetings under the Economic Development Committee (EDC) budget, board members argued on cutting a secretarial position in the county educational service office and on the replacement of one of two people cut from the environmental health division of the health depart­ ment. After a 12-11 vote on replacing the one person cut from the educational office, a break in the meeting was called before that department's ap­ propriations were approved. Following the break, and a caucus by some board members, when a vote was taken on the $37,380 appropriation OCTOBER 8.1982 which included the addition of funds for the one secretarial position, the motion was defeated. The board then adopted a $29,360 educational department budget. Board members were informed the decrease of two positions in the en­ vironmental health department could possibly affect the health depart­ ment's accreditation by the state, because certain required standards might not be met with less staff. The board was asked to include additional funds in the environmental health division's budget to allow for replacement of one of the position cuts, but a motion on that issue failed and the appropriation was approved with two staff cuts. Although the Finance committee and department heads have worked on the county's annual 1982-83 budget for several months and the board spent five hours Tuesday night going over line items, the actual budget has not been adopted. Only tentative appropriations were approved for adoption Tuesday night. Some changes may occur before the board adopts its official budget in • November. Turning Point To Add New Services This fall Turning Point, Inc., will add two new services to those they now provide for McHenry county communities. Turning Point will provide a Safe Home service for any woman and her children who need to leave a violent home situation and have nowhere to go. This could be for one night or up to four weeks, but would most often be for a week or less. The second service Turning Point will provide is an Advocate for women who have left a violent home situation. The advocate will help the woman decide on a direction for her life and will help with many matters which can be very frightening or em­ barrassing to someone who has never done them before. Turning Point is actively recruiting county citizens who are interested in helping deliver these new services. The organization will provide ex­ tensive initial training, continuing in- service training, and ongoing support and guidance to all volunteers. The first training session will begin in early October. Anyone interested in providing a Safe Home, becoming an Advocate, or finding out more about Turning Point may call the Turning Point office, 338- 4873. At the present time Turning Point provides these services to McHenry County communities: (1) A Family Stress Line (344-3944), 2) A Woman's Support group for women who have been or are still being abused, and (3) A Parents Anonymous group for parents who feel they might lose control and harm a child. Turning Point, Inc. is an organization of McHenry county citizens who are working to lessen the amount of violence and its effects on families. Missing Youth Found In Field < by Dick Peterson SHAW MBNA NEWS SERVICE About ISO people searched a 200- acre cornfield for more than two hours before finding a 3-year-old child who was lost Saturday evening. Jamie Blair, son of John and Julie Blair, Rural Route 1, White Oaks Road, Harvard, was found by two members of the Sharon, Wis., Fire and Rescue Squad about 7:45 p.m. "They heard him crying," said John Shay, director of the McHenry County Emergency Services and Disaster Agency. "They were then able to zero in on that. He was in the middle of the cornfield behind his house." Personnel from the Harvard Fire Department and Rescue Squad, the Sharon Fire and Rescue Squad, ESDA, the sheriff's police, the sheriffs posse and auxiliary police, and neighbors helped search for the child. The Illinois Department of Tran­ sportation emergency helicopter based at St. Anthony Hospital, Rock- ford, aided in the search, in addition to a private airplane flown by a member of the Spring Grove Police Depart­ ment. Tracking dogs from Lake County sheriff's police and the McHenry Police Department also were used in the search. The child, who was playing with his 5-year-old brother, John, was first discovered missing at 5:20 p.m. After the family searched for about a half hour, the Blairs called sheriffs police shortly before 6 p.m. Because of the size of the field, additional rescue personnel were summoned, according to an ESDA spokeswoman. The IDOT helicopter, equipped with a three-million candle-power sear­ chlight, arrived at the scene about 6:15 p.m. and searched the field from end-to-end, said James Carbonetti, president of the Harvard Rescue Squad. The pilot flew the helicopter over the field in a manner to guide the child to his home, Carbonetti said. Children either run away from a helicopter in a search, or the helicopter frightens them into staying in one spot. Either course of action helps in finding lost children, Car­ bonetti added. The helicopter pilot was unable to spot Jamie Blair from the air, Shay said, noting the blond-haired child was wearing tan clothing. "He blended right in with the field," Shay said. Volunteers fanned out over the 200- acre field of 12-foot high corn to search for the child. They would walk a few steps then listen for sounds, Shay said. The cornfield is owned by Harold Perkins, 25714 Perkins Road. "For the number of people going through, there was very little damage (to the corn)," Mrs. Perkins said. Althoff, Walsh To Lead McHenry Hospital Fund Raising Efforts Kenneth G. Bast, executive director of McHenry hospital, announced that James Althoff has been selected as general chairman of the hospital's $1,800,000 capital development project, known as "Reach for Tomorrow". Bast also announced that Earl R. Walsh has accepted the post of honorary general chairman for the project. Althoff, a native of McHenry, has long been an active citizen, serving as president of McHenry High School District 158 for 12 years, and as president of the McHenry Fire Protection District for 15 years. He is the former president of the McHenry Country club, and is currently a trustee for the Plumbers union in Chicago, as well as on the board of governors for state colleges and universities. \ Prior to starting his plumbing and heating contracting business in 1961, he worked in the family hardware store on Main street. He and his wife Joan have seven children and two grandchildren. Althoff believes that the community needs the hospital desperately, and everyone should do what they can to make it a reality. He said "Of all my affiliations, I would have to say the hospital is one of the most important. I believe in what it represents, and what it can offer to the communities of northern Illinois." Walsh, also a native of McHenry, served as the City Clerk for 38 years and operated his own insurance business. He also edited the sports page for the McHenry Plaindealer for 45 years. Currently retired, Walsh and his wife Alvina remain interested in community affairs and the progress of their hometown area. "My first experience with the Only 6 mg yet rich enough to be called deluxe. Regular and Menthol. Open a box today. wo:,? JAMES ALTHOFF hospital was a positive one," said Walsh, "because it was a comfort to have one so close when my wife became suddenly ill and needed immediate attention. Any time and effort this "Reach for Tomorrow" project requires is certainly wor­ thwhile". He and his wife have two children and five grandchildren. The "Reach for Tomorrow" campaign began a few months ago with solicitation of the hospital family, which includes pledges from board members, physicians, em­ ployees, and the auxiliary and volunteers. As of this date, more than $500,000 has been received in cash and pledges, with only 60 percent of the calls completed. The employees are the first to complete their soliciting EARL WALSH and have reported $168,000 which is 38 percent over their goal of $120,000. The average pledge for a hospital employee has been $397, to be given over a three year pledging period. This amount is more than 180 percent above the national average of individual employee gifts in similar hospital campaigns. The other three units of the cam­ paign under Althoff s leadership will be the lead gifts, major gifts, and community teams. These three units will be soliciting three-to-five-year pledges during the forthcoming months. Richard "Dick" Reault, representing the professional fund raising firm of Jerold Panas, Young ft Partners, is the campaign director. Hospital Offers Sibling Program Brothers and sisters in families with anticipated new babies will be the special guests when Memorial hospital at Woodstock holds its second Sibling Open House from 2 to 4 p.m. in the nursery for all family members on Sunday, Oct. 17. Manorial hospital is the first in the area to offer this new, exciting program for expectant parents and their children, Michelle Johnson, registered nurse in the newborn nursery, said today as she invited the public to take part in this program. The program is geared to expectant parents with children already at home. It helps young children prepare for the birth of a new baby by becoming a part of the experience. "We have found that by including children in the birthing process sibling rivalry seems to be lessened," Mrs. Johnson observed. During the open house children of all ages visit four stations. Station 1 BENSON & HEDGES Warning: The Surgeon General Has Determined That Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health. 6 mg "tar," 0.6 mg nicotine av. per cigarette, by FTC method. allows the child to dress up in a, doctor's garments such as gowns, caps, booties and gloves and take a tour of the labor and delivery suite. This enables them to identify where their mother and father will be greeting their new brother or sister. ~ Station 2 allows the child to sample formula, change a diaper and ask questions on the care of a newborn baby. Station 3 enables them to view newborn babies in the nursery. They see such things as an isolette, radiant warmer, and car seat which Memorial hospital nursery staff members urge parents to use when they haul small children in autos. The fourth station enables parents and children to talk with hospital staff members about the maternity department and services involved. "This program enhances the hospital's maternity-centered care by keeping the entire family involved in the birth of a new baby," summarized Mrs. Johnson, "and we invite the public to visit the nursery anytime on the afternoon of Oct. 17." Persons wishing further in­ formation prior to the open house are invited to call the hospital and talk with either Michelle Johnson or Barbara Kramer. County Police Respond To Automobile Fire Sheriff's police responded to a car fire Sunday afternoon at Barnard Mill and Howe roads, Wonder Lake, where apparent faulty wiring resulted in the destruction of the vehicle owned by Casimir Jettka of Pell Lake, Wis. Ra^ Reynolds, of 5024 Barnard Mill rod* Ringwood, was charged with driving while intoxicated after police observed his eastbound vehicle Sunday night cross into the opposite traffic lane of McCullom Lake road, Wonder Lake.

Illinois S ALL Cei Fri. 9-8 Sal. 9-5: Sun 10-5 SAFETY HINTS By Secretary of State Jim Edgar The fall season brings decreasing hours of sunlight, and driving without headlights as darkness is setting in can be dangerous. If there is not suf­ ficient daylight to see other vehicles ahead or behind you, or if rain, fog or other conditions dictate, turn your headlights on. Vehicles must have two headlights that are visible for at least 500 feet. They must be lighted from sunset to sunrise and at any other time when visibility is so poor that lights are required for safety. Motorcycles oper­ ating on streets and highways must have at least one lighted head lamp at all times. Headlights must be dimmed at least 500 feet before meeting and 300 feet before overtaking another vehicle. If your vehicle is not readily visible to ap­ proaching drivers, the potential of danger to yourself and others is increased dramatically. Make sure your headlights are on when visibility is limited. Using them could save a life. If you have any questions about the Secretary of State's office, please feel free to use our toll-free telephone number (800 252-8980).
