Al'KIL 24.1«J#3 ESDA to begin scuba course . j jT Painted in McHenry County College's school colors and sporting the College logo, this dragster was built from donated materials over a four-year period of time by students in the MCC Automotive Program. Over 200 of them have worked on the project. Now complete, the dragster has been inspected and approved for competition at the National Hot Rod Association sanctioned dragstrips and will be displayed at area schools and trade fairs as promotion for the college and its Automotive Program. MCC students build a really 'hot' car Plans are being made for a dragster built by students in the McHenry County College automotive program to be raced tbi;s summer at dragstrips sanctioned by the National Hot Rod Association. The car will also be exhibited at area high schools and trade fairs as promotion for the college and the automotive program. •Four years ago, a 1974 Chevrolet Vega that had been donated to the college was stripped, it parts to be used by various automotive classes. As ag^educational and motivational challenge for the students, the decision was made to try to build a dragster from the remaining body and frame of the Vega. Over the ensuing years over 200 students have worked on the project. The dragster, designed to run on a straight quarter-mile track under timed conditions, is now complete. It has been inspected and approved by the National Hot Rod Association and cleared for competition at sanctioned National Hot Rod Association dragstrips, the closest being Union Grove, Wis. and Rock- ford. The MCC administration and board of trustees are both supportive of the project, feeling that the marketability and visibility of the automotive program will be enhanced by the car. Board Member, Anthony Wujcik, sees the project as a "good marketing tool and a good instructional tool." Fellow Board member, Dr. William Ryan, stresses that "we have to run it (the car) ocassionally to show the students know a spark plug from the exhaust pipe." Schaffer wants to deny bail for persons accused of violent crimes State Sen. Jack Schaffer, (R- Crystal Lake), has proposed allowing judges to deny bail to persons accused of violent cnxnes. The senator is co-sponsoring an' amendment to the state constitution which would permit preventive detention in cases where release of a defendant could pose a threat to the safety of any person. -"The purpose of the amend­ ment is to help protect the public from persons charged in felony offense involving personal in­ jury or the threat of personal injury," Schaffer explained. "You need only read a paper or w&tch the news to know that there are far too many instances ot; violent crimes that were committed by persons who were fr6e on bail while awaiting trial for other serious charges." jThe senator said the proposed amendment would affect only persons charged with crimes for w$ich imprisonment would be mandatory if they were con­ victed. "The idea is to allow denial of bail for those arrested such crimes as attempted murder, heinous battery, armed robbery, armed violence, aggravated kidnapping, aggravated criminal sexual assualt, aggravated arson or exploitation of a child," he said. Schaffer said he sees-'the measure as a way to prevent crimes and at the same time to protect crime vicitims and witnesses so they will be willing to testify. Under the proposed change, any denial of bail would only take place when the court, after a hearing, determined that release of the individual would pose a threat to the physical safety of any person. "I want to emphasize that the amendment would not jeopardize a defendant's right to a presumption of innocence before being brought to trial," Schaffer said. "There would be no denial of due process. The purpose is simply to protect crime victims and the public from potentially dangerous persons until their cases can be decided by the courts." Present Illinois law already allows preventive detention when a defendant is charged with a capital offense or one for which a life sentence could be imposed, so the proposed change would merely broaden this provision. The Congress last year strengthened federal laws to Allow bail denial in such cases, and seven other states have tougher provisions than Illinois to allow preventive detention. If the General Assembly adopts the amendment, it will be put to Illinois voters in the 1966 general election. Passage would require approval by three-fifths of those voting on the amend­ ment or by a majority of those voting in the election. A new state statute would be necessary to enact the provisions of the amendment. fsPRI^vXcUUMGIVEAWAY 8 •HOOVER •EUREKA •ORECK UPRIGHTS, CANISTERS ONLY A Scuba Training Course will be sponsored on Wednesday, May 1 at 7 p.m. in McHenry. The course is sponsored by the McHenry County Fire Chiefs Dive Team Committee which manages the activities of the McHenry County MABAS Division V Dive Team. The team is composed of trained scuba divers who are volunteer members of either a fire department or the scuba division of the McHenry County Emergency Services and Diaster Agency (MCESDA). The course will include classroom instruction, extensive training at an indoor swimming pool, and will conclude with open water dives, including one night dive. At the conclusion of the course, participants will be certified by the Professional Association of Diving In­ structors in Basic, Advanced Open Water and Search and Recovery. Divers who already hold one of the certifications may also enroll at a reduced charge. Divers, when finished, will become members of the Volunteer McHenry County Dive Team, according to Divemaster William Sheehan. According to Sheehan, divers are needed in all areas of McHenry County. Within .the past five years, a new concept in rescuing drowning victims has emerged. After lengthy studies and extensive research, it has been found that many victims of a cold water near drowning may be revived and live normal lives even after they have been in the water 45 minutes. Proper conditions must be present, including water temperature, length of time, age of victim, etc. The certified members of the Blood drive set at MCC McHenry County College students, in cooperation with the Aurora Area Blood Bank, supplier of blood to local hospitals, will sponsor a blood drive from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Monday, April 29, in the student lounge. The blood drive is open to all members of the community. All donors are reminded to eat a normal breakfast that day. The actual donation process takes less than eight minutes and is a safe sterile and painless procedure. Persons eligible must be age 17 through 65, weigh at least 110 pounds, in general good health and have not donated in the past eight weeks. team respond at the request of any fire department in McHenry County to assist a d owning. Many of the fire departments in McHenry County already have certified Search and Recovery divers among their ranks of firefighters. According to Sheehan, when an incident takes place, many trained divers are needed to effect a rescue. The course is open to all in­ dividuals age 18 and over who are in good physical condition. The course will be taught by Robert N. Pearson, of the Highland Park Fire Depart­ ment, and a certified master diving instructor. He has been involved in underwater rescue recovery and cold water sur­ vival for 17 years with the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Safety Council. MCESDA coordinates the MABAS Division V Dive Team activities. The volunteers donate their time and purchase their own equipment. Discount considerations are available to them on purchasing equipment when they become associated with the team. Advance registration must be made before Friday, April 26.
