•y MCC due up to $16,000 in property tax interest By Deborah Collura INvvsSanrlo* McHenry County College could receive up to $16,000 due to a recent ruling by the Illinois Supreme Court which decided local governments will now be able to obtain interest earned on taxes. )is Supreme Court's decision on a Wood Dale interest lawsuit in DuPage County set precedent for tne Sangamon County case, which involves McHenry County. McHenry County has been included in a class action lawsuit concerning interest money the college will recieve which has been collected from property taxes. In the Wood Dale suit, DuPage County was taken to court by the Wood Dale Library'Boara. In that case, the DuPage County treasurer collected the property taxes and then invested the money to taxing bodies, but DuPage County kept the interest collected on the invested money. The court decision requires county treasurers to distribute interest money that the county earns on property tax revenue collected during the yearly tax cycle According "to a McHenry County Treasurer's report, May 27, 1983 is the effective date the county must use as a starting point for adding the interest to MCC's distribution. The tentative figure MCC will recieve is $16,391, which is fairly close to the actual amount the college is entitled to recieve.

Act intelligently if involved in acq\(lent with injuries By Sec. of State Jim Edgar Drivers can avoid most ac­ cidents if they obey all traffic laws. However, if you are involved in an accident, the following is re­ quired by Illinois law: Stop immediately in a safe place and stay at the scene of the acci­ dent until you have exchanged in­ formation with other drivers and have given reasonable assistance to any injured person. Give your name, address, license plate number and the vehi­ cle owner's name to the other par­ ties and show them your drivers license if they request it. Carry or arrange for the carry­ ing of any injured person to a doc­ tor or hospital for medical treat­ ment if it is apparent that treat­ ment is necessary or the injured person requests transportation. Report the accident to the nearest law enforcement agency. Any violation of the above re­ quirements makes you guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. The American Red Cross recommends the following equip­ ment be kept in your car for medical emergencies: 1) four- inch squares of gauze dressings for cuts, burns and lacerations; 2) rolls or two or three-inch gauze bandages for holding dressings in place to stop heavy bleeding; 3) one-inch adhesive tape to secure gauze and splints; 4) scissors for cutting these materials; 5) a fold­ ed sheet, double bed size, to make slings and bandages; and 6) a blanket for shock victims and for coping with cold weather. Gladstone talks on cocaine abuse to hospital drug unit Dr. Lee Gladstone, psychiatrist and executive director of the Mar- tha Washington Hospi ta l Alcoholism Treatment Center in Chicago, recently spoke to the staff of Memorial Hospital in Woodstock on the "Psycho­ physiological effects of cocaine dependency". Gladstone stated that the onset pf cocaine dependency is quick, usually within a matter of less than three years of usage. It creates numerous financial pro­ blems even for affluent users so that most of them sell cocaine in order to support their own habit. • He said that the addiction is treatable on an inpatient basis by offering the suffering addict medical detoxif ica t ion, in­ dividual, group and family counseling, special recreational therapy, education and involve­ ment in Narcotics Anonymous. Bob Kajdan, d i rec tor of Memorial Hospital's Alcoholism- Substance Abuse unit, stated that Gladstone's lecture assisted the unit's staff in their education and counseling of cocaine addicts. Ka­ jdan said: "An increasing number of young adults addicted to co­ caine are calling us for medical assistance. They are feeling depressed and remorseful about the large sums of money spent on this drug and are seeking a way out of the cycle of addiction." For more information on the hospital's special treatment pro­ gram for cocaine addicts, call the confidential, 24-hour counseling line at 338-8448.

Voting for the board seats will begin Dec. 8, when members of the utility wat­ chdog organization receive their ballots by mail. One member will be elected from each of the state's 22 Congres­ sional districts. Final deadline for balloting is Dec. 22, when all votes must be received by CUB election officials. « CUB Elections Chair Edna Summers was encouraged by the large number of CUB can- didacies: "CUB has been very successful in recrui t ing members and sparking interest among Illinois consumers thus far," she said. "A well- contested election which gives CUB members the opportunity to choose among qualified cnadidates will result in a dynamic Board of Directors." Summers serves with 10 others on the CUB's Interim Board, appointed earlier this year by Springfield officials to oversee operations through the end of 1984. Among those in­ terim board members is McHenry resident Lynn Donar- ski. Candidate materials will now be turned over to CUB's cer­ tification committee, which will review the documents for completeness and accuracy. The committee will also be con­ ducting a random test to deter­ mine the validity of signatures appearing on candidate peti­ tions. The certification will be completed on Nov. 11. Candidates certified by the Elections Committee will be provided a list of the names of CUB members in their district. Only CUB members may vote in the board elections, provided their minimum $5 dues have been received by CUB by the Nov. 26 cutoff date. An Independent audit team, supervised by the Chicago- based CPAs for the Public In­ terest, has developed the elec- ^tonjuidelinejM^ ing each phase of the election.- process in conjunction with the * CUB Elections Committee. * Summers noted that CUB will be lending its assistance to'« independent organizations wishing to sponsor candidate forums, debates or other ses-;*I sions designed to inform CUft- m e m b e r s a b o u t t h o _ < background and positions of the- ? candidates seeking election inn * their districts.
