It's Time For Those Tiny Monsters--Ticks
McHenry County Department of Health is advising residents to take precautions against tick bites to prevent contracting the diseases they may carry. Ticks are most active in Illinois during April, May and June and live in and near wooded areas, tall grass and brush. If infected, ticks can transmit diseases including ehrlichiosis, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, tularemia and Lyme disease through their bites.
The best way to protect against tick-borne illnesses is to avoid tick bites by taking the following precautions:
Wear white or light-colored long-sleeved shirts and long pants so the tiny ticks are easier to see. Tuck long pants into your socks and boots. Wear a head covering or hat for added protection.
Ticks are usually found in ankle- to shin-high grass and weeds. Ticks cannot hop or fly. Walk in the center of trails so weeds do not brush against you.
Apply insect repellent containing DEET (30% or less) to exposed skin. Follow label directions. Permethrin repellents must be used on clothing only, not on skin.
Keep your grass mowed and keep weeds cut around your home.
If you are bitten, wash the bite area and your hands thoroughly with soap and water; apply an antiseptic to the bite site.
Know the symptoms of tick-borne disease. Consult with a physician if you develop a sudden fever, vomiting, severe headache and muscle pain following a tick bite.
If your pet spends time outdoors, check them before bringing them into your home. It's important for people to recognize the signs and symptoms of tick-borne diseases so appropriate treatment is not delayed. If left untreated, some tick-borne diseases can cause severe illness and may be fatal.
For more information about ticks and Lyme disease, visit www.mcdh.info, Environmental Health Division or contact MCDH at 815-334-4585.

Busy Time In Some Areas Tonight
Tuesday could be a busy night for some Illinois citizens. This is the date of the Annual Township Meeting. There are 102 counties in the state, with 85 of them divided into 1,433 townships serving more than 8 million people. The remaining 17 counties are divided into 261 precincts. These operate under a different form of county government.
Illinois Statutes provide that "Notice of the time and place of holding township meetings and the agenda approved by the township board at their prior meeting shall be given by the township clerk (or, in the clerk's absence, the supervisor, assessor, or the collector) by posting written or printed notices in 3 of the most public places in the township at least 10 days before the meeting and, if there is an English language newspaper published in the township, by at least one publication in that newspaper before the meeting. That notice shall set forth the agenda as approved by the township board. Additional agenda items may be added only by a three-fifths majority vote of the electors in attendance at the meeting."
How It Began
In Illinois, townships were established as units of state government under the 2nd Illinois Constitution of 1848. Up to this point, a County Commission form of local government prevailed. Under this form, the county unit was the governing body, with commissioners responsible for the administrative and legislative affairs of towns and villages within a county.
In 1849, voters within Illinois counties were given the right to adopt the township form of local government. With the option of choosing a township type of government, voters had the opportunity to elect officials from their local communities who would be directly responsible for conducting business necessary to maintain their communities.
Townships near Crystal Lake include Algonquin, Dorr, Grafton and Nunda. All will be conducting annual townships meetings Tuesday evening.

Third Week of Cleaning Crystal Lake's Water Distribution System
If you see water running down a thoroughfare in Crystal Lake, it is not a broken main. The Crystal Lake Water Division is flushing fire hydrants throughout the city. This is the third of a seven-week program to clean out the City's water distribution system and allow for inspection of hydrants.
This week the area south of Route 176 to Route 14 and East of Route 14 to Main Street is the selected area.
During flushing, water may become temporarily discolored due to material being removed from water mains. The water is safe to drink, but may stain clothes washed during hydrant flushing. Residents should try to limit water usage during this time, but if this is not possible, the City offers Rover, a chemical that can be used as a cleanser in laundry to remove iron stains, free of charge, should problems occur.
Residents with questions are asked to contact the Water Division at (815) 356-3614
