New enforcement program begun for highway trucks On July 1 the Illinois State Police initiated a new truck enforcement program. According to Captain James R. Coffman, District Com­ mander State Police Elgin, "The program is called Com­ mercial Vehicle Enforcement Program (CVEP), and it is basically set up for truck en­ forcement." "There is a great deal of truck traffic in Illinois, and un­ fortunately not all of these vehicles comply vvroi tfib laws. Some of the violations we will be looking for are trucks that are overweight, in violation of permit; or do not comply with the Motor Carrier Safety Act. In this area, the State Police have the authority to put a truck out -of service if it does not comply with the numerous laws that make up the Motor Carrier Safety Act." Alcohol and substance abuse center now serving county ' Patients are now being ac­ cepted at Memorial Hospital's 14-bed inpatient Alcoholism- Substance abuse unit, Robert Kajdan, program director, announced. The unit is designed for adults, and the program includes af­ tercare in cooperation with counselors on the staff of the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center of ;McHenry County. * Discussing treatment ^capability, Kajdan said an alcoholic who comes to the unit js a person who accepts his 'weakness because of the disease -and gains strength from the ^knowledge that he is seeking Vhelp. JoDr. D.C. Huh is the medical Idirector and Kathy Brock, R.N., is the patient care coordinator. Kajdan said inpatient treatment takes about three to four weeks and an after-care program is coordinated, in­ cluding cooperation with Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. A 24-hour crisis phone list has been established (815) 338-8448. It is being staffed by specialized personnel. The unit staff in­ cludes an internist, a psychologist, two alcoholism counselors, seven counseling assistants, several nurses and a department secretary in ad­ dition to Kajdan.

Louise Hipwell shows her originally-designed sampler of the McHenry County Historical Museum, which she recently donated to the museum. * Sampler donated to museum One of the more unicfue donations made recently to tne^ McHenry County Historical Society was an originally designed sampler made by Louise Hipwell of Lily Lake. As part of the design, Mrs. Hipwell incorporated both her original poem entitled, "The Historical Museum"and a stitched replica of the museum in Union. The sampler will be framed and placed in the museum's collection along with other samples of handiwork like a hand-hooked stair carpet that depicts the history of a family from Hebron and a large variety of lace patterns. The museum also houses over 70 quilts and coverlets dating back to the early 1800's. The McHenry County Historical museum, located in Union, is open Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday afternoons from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Over 20,000 ^artifacts relating the history of McHery County are on exhibit. Another area of concern is the transportation of hazardous materials," according to Coff­ man, "and these vehicles will be thoroughly checked by our troopers." The way in which CVEP will work, is that troopers will be hired back, with funds provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the federal government, and work one of two truck weight scales in District Two. This is according to Master Sergeant Tom Gallagher, who will be in charge of the detail. He adds, "The scales are Wads worth Scale in Lake County and the Villa Park Scale in DuPage County." CVEP will not be used to) harass the truckers, we just want to make Illinois roads safe for all types of traffic," Gallagher concluded.

It gives public employees the right to organize and bargain collectively. To aid area residents in un­ derstanding the terms of the new law, McHenry County College has invited Jacqueline Petersen; personnel officer of the City of Crystal Lake, to explain the act at a seminar to be held Wednesday evening, July 18, from 7 to 10 p.m., at the college. In addition to the public sector, where she has had ex­ tensive training in local government practices, Petersen has worked in personnel in private industry. Her background makes her a good information source on the subject, one that should prove helpful, to a broad cross-section of people. She recently con­ ducted a seminar on the new law for the staff of the City of Crystal Lake. 4 Those in attendance will find out which public employees and employers are covered or ex­ cluded by the law's provisions, how the law will be ad­ ministered, the procedures for organization and what con­ stitutes a bargaining unit. Covered as well will be the makeup and jurisdiction of the Illinois State Labor Relations Board, what constitutes an unfair labor practice, what types of negotiations and im­ passe procedures are contained in the act and the rights of management in the collective bargaining process. The collective bargaining seminar will be held in room 249, the Board Room, of McHenry County College's Main Hall Building. The fee for participation is $8 per person. Persons interested may register by telephone. Call the Community Services Offices at MCC, 455-3700, ext. 251. REALLY COVERED? LEWMDOWSn 12121 ««• TOHY FICK •301 A.
