The proclamation was announc­ ed at the last meeting of the McHenry Area Crime Stoppers organization, held Jan. 23. In the official document, Stanek commended the volunteers who have worked to make Crime Stop- \ pers a reality in the community and he further urged citizens, businesses and other organiza­ tions to support the program. The McHenry Area Crime Stop­ pers, now a year old, is a com­ munity organization which offer? cash rewards for anonymous in­ formation that the lflfttl police to the arrest and conviction of criminals. "Hopefully, I can help to continue that and further ad­ dress other needs in the com­ munity either through program expansion or the addition of new programs."

The public will have the chance to clown around, shake hands or have a picture taken with the "creature." Ribbie wifl be at the Trade Fair as part of the WIVS-WXET exhibit from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday. Parents are en­ couraged to bring cameras to take pictures and enjoy the antics that Ribbie initiates. Li August of 1981, the Chicago White Sox became the first American League team to in­ troduce mascots to their en­ tertainment package. The Sox two furry friends-Ribbie, a named coined from RBI (run? batted in), and Roobarb, a variation of rhubarb, the word used to describe a baseball argument-have enjoyed fan reaction and acceptance since their first appearance at Comiskey Park prior to the White Sox-New York Yankees game on August 27, 1981. Eddie Einhorn feels "one of the biggest things in sports marketing today is the mascot." And he made a new White Sox mascot a major priority, feeling it was a good way to add to the atmosphere of the ball park. As he began to implement his idea, Einhorn realized that the only thing better than e good mascot was two good mascots! From that thought came the birth of duel White Sox mascots, allowing for complementary personalities and interaction between the characters and eliminating the need for cooperation from players, coaches, and umpires. The goal of the McHenry Trade Fail is to educate and inform about local businesses through personal contact and creative displays: products, services, jobs, job opportunities, development of products, development of ideas, and community development through business. The Chamber feels that "an hour or two spent touring the 160 exhibit spaces in Parkland School on March 1, 2 and 3 can provide more helpful in­ formation to enhance one's daily living than can be acquired in am fthrr way Parkland School is located at Ro^fe te 120 and Ringwood Road.
