McHenry Area Jaycees President John Vlcek said this was the first time in local history that women have been allowed in the previously all- male - organization. The McHenry Area Jaycees have been serving the community for 25 years. what spurred all this was a June 1984 Supreme Court ruling which said the Jaycees must allow women to enter their ranks. "The Jaycees was originally a man's training organization for leadership and management," Vlcek saia. "As women became more involved in the workplace, the auxiliary was formed and was essentially an extension of the men's organization." . ' ' . » Vlcek said the women's organization, which has beer, in service for about five years, voted to remain independent following the court ruling. But, when the national ana state Jaycees Women's croups said they were going to fold, the local group had nowhere to go. "We extended our hand and asked them to join," Vlcek said. "The Jaycees Women were active in many I »ni?s-candy sales, bake sales - nd es»t °cially the car seat program." That program, in conjunction with the hospital, provides in­ fant car seats to people who cannot afford to buy them. "After the court ruling, we had manv long hours of debate and we basically took a wait- and-see attitude," Vlcek said. "The U.S. Jaycees and the Illinois Jaycees changed their by-laws. We knew the day was going to come. All in all, the reaction has been up-beat and positive. The future belongs to everyone." Vlcek noted that preliminary talks had begun with the women's organization as early as July of 1984. "The women worked so hard to achieve their status. They had wanted to remain autonomous and we concurred," Vlcek said. "But when the national organization said it was going to fold, they had no place to go." They have a place now. young Jaycees elect new officers As part of the Tuesday night meeting of the McHenry Area Jaycees, which saw the in* duction of women for the first time, the membership also elected officers for 1985-86. Outgoing president, John Vlcek, will serve as chairman of the board.

Chamber to spearhead 'Certified City' quest By Anthony Oliver At the request of the city council, the McHenry Chamber of Commerce will spearhead participation in the '^Certified Cities" program offered by the Mail suspect of 'pot' possession " * ' A 19-year-old McHenry man was arrested Sunday after lice found what was believed be inarijuana in his possession. Investigating a civil matter, police arrived at the residence of Gordon B. Holmes, 3944 Main St., McHenry. As it turned out, Holmes was wanted by McHenry County Sheriff's police on a failure to appear warrant concerning a parole violation. After Holmes was taken into custody, police found suspected marijuana in his possession. A charge of unlawful possession of cannabis was also brought. executive director, appeared at Monday night's meeting to jnd a steering com­ be appointed to meet the requirements. tentially. the Illinois it of Commerce and Community Affairs (DCCA) forces a city to take a •of areas--financial, business and employment climates, city resources, recreation, etc. Completion of the program results in "certification" by DCCA, which could be useful from an economic development standpoint. The committee will consist of the financial community, council, real estate, plan commission, zoning board, hospital and economic development commission. In another matter, the city council voted to prohibit trucks and buses from using West Street, in Millstream sub­ division, as a short cut. No through traffic will be allowed on that street. - - ----- - WL board selling five-acre parcel The Wonder Lake village board is considering the sale of a five-acre parcel of land on Thompson Road. Board President Duane Zeman said she received several inquiries about the property, which has 380 feet of frontage on Thompson Road, north of Nippersink Creek. The parcel in question totals about 7.25 acres, but Zeman said she wants the village to retain for future village use the northernmost 2.25 acres, which are partly outside village limits. That use could include a storage area or village hall. Zeman said she would like to see the business or home that may be built on the land be completely within the village limits so the village can collect taxes on the property. "We don't want to give anybody who might buy the land a chance to secede from the union," Zeman said. A five-acre parcel of land in McHenry County is valued at about $30,000, according to an area realtor, Zeman said. The land must be surveyed and subdivided, which the village cannot afford, so the cost of the survey will probably be negotiated with the buyer as part of the deal. A poll of the the six trustees present showed that five favored the sale. The final vote on the sale of the land will be on the agenda at the next board meeting. "Even if we vote to sell the land, it doesn't mean that we have to sell it. We'll see what the bids are and go from there," Zeman said. RE-ELECT MAYORJOSEPH B.STANEK McHENRY "A GOOD CITY... IN GOOD HANDS" An even better McHenry-which we all want-will not happen merely because we want It to happen. A better McHenry will become a reality through hard work, intelli­ gent planning and bold vision. It won't happen overnight, but only through years of effort, persever- ence and unfaltering faith. I be­ lieve the way to make progress, is to build on what we have, to take from the lesson of yesterday a little more wisdom and courage to meet the tasks of today. Fortunately, those who served b e f o r e u s , M a y o r s D o h e r t y , Freund, Overton and others had the vision and did the planning for a solid foundation for a better McHenry. We are building on that v K . . foundation with new parks, impo- roved roads, new bridges, snow re- movel, dedicated employees, a fine library, a new modern hospital, an active Chamber of Commerce with fun Fiesta Days and many many other things to improve the quality of life for our people. There is still work too be done and problems to solve. I have the time, the experience and the desire to as­ sist with that work. With your help we can make McHenry the finest city in the world. If that be the fashion of your dreams-hold fast to those dreams and together we will go forward to fulfill the promise of an even better McHenry for our­ selves and for our children. JOSEPH B.
