pp. 10, - PLA1NDEALER - WED./ MAR. 13/ 1968 Wonder Lake Programs Approved By Directors (Continued from page 1) • The project approval and vote of censure followed a detailed report by James L. Bixby, vicepresident and chairman of the Lake and dam committee. He investigated technical subjects involving fish management, water condition, law enforcement and safety procedures, at meetings in Springfield and Washington. LENTHY REPORTS His summary included lengthy reports prepared by Bruce Muench, fishery biologist, Department of Conservation, who knows Wonder Lake in detail. Muench was present at the Springfield meeting that included Williarrt T. Lodge, department director; William J. Harth, superintendent, division of fisheries; Kenneth Gruenewald, supervisor, law enforcement; Clarence Classen, director; and R.S. Nelle, specialist, • Sanitation Engineering and Sanitary Water Control Board. Under supervision of state specialists, and at expense of Wonder Lake residents, the entire lake and approximately 10 miles up Nippersink creek should be cleared of all fish, which are predominantly classified as rough fish, carp suckers and bullheads. In sampling the fishes of Wonder Lake, Muench reported, it was found almost uniformly that rough fish dominate the fish population 90 percent by weight. Obviously, he continued, one primary recommedation is to alter the existing fish population drastically to provide for a reduction in the rough fish and thereby allow for a corresponding increase in game fish. A chemical of 5percent emulsifiable rote none, which costs about $7 per gallon, will be used for the lake-wide fish eradication. The chemical is fatal to fish but non-poisonous, nontoxic and harmless to humans. LAKE LEVEL The program should be undertaken in late August or early September when in-flow of water is usually at a minimum. The lake level should be lowered about one-foot to save on cost of chemicals needed and to concentrate the fish. This would be accomplished by siphoning over the dam. A neutralizing agent used in the spillway water below the dam will prevent poisoning of fish downstream. The lake will be restocked the following spring with a variety of popular game fish that thrive in these waters. Hie lake will be closed to !|11 fishing for two years, to permit normal fish growth. Indications are that a complete eradication can restore good fishing for a period of 10 to 15 years, when a proper balance is established involving fish, oxygen-producing bottom vegetation and water neutrients. This will result in improved water clarity allowing sunlight to penetrate, and enable fish to feed by sight. The water tur- - bidity is largely attributed to the constant bottom riling by rough fish, action of boat motors and lack of vegetation. In addition to state specialists, who must do the poisoning, the project will require volunteers to clear demised fish and to patrol the lake during the period of eradication. Use of the lake is not recommended, either swimming, skiing or boating, for efficiency of the project. CENSURE VOTE The directors voted unanimously to censure the authors of the letter to Congressman McClory "as not being in the best interests of Wonder Lake or the official function of the advisory board." Bixby reported reading the letter in question at Springfield, signed by Lewis E. Belshaw, Advisory board, and involving Henry C. Setzler, president, Indian Ridge and an Advisory board delegate, and Morton C. Woodward, who has no official capacity in the Advisory board. The Advisory board letterhead contained the return home address of Woodward, even though the organization has a post office box. The letter followed a meeting earlier in December at Woodstock attended by Congressman McClory at the invitation of individuals who have opposed formation of the Master association. While in Washington, Bixby checked further with Congressman McClory*s office and sent a lengthy description of Wonder Lake and the Master association to both Congressman McClory and Conservation Director Lodge. Bixby explained to Congressman McClory and Lodge that all but three subdivisions have joined the Master association, and have elected or appointed required delegates and directors to administer the organization. Two of the holdout subdivisions (Deep Spring Woods Property Owners and Indian Ridge) are represented by presidents, Belshaw and Setzler. Another subdivision, Lookout Point, formerly represented by Dr. Raymond H. Watkins, voted at a special membership meeting last summer, to join the Master association. To test the question the Master association has filed in Mc- Henry County Circuit court a lawsuit against Indian Ridge Improvement association and Setzler, its president. The suit seeks a declaratory judgement on the legal requirement of participation in the Master association, in accordance with deeds and contracts which property owners signed. NO LEGAL AUTHORITY Bixby said that "theadvisory board does not exercise any legal authority over either Wonder Lake or the various subdivisions that comprise the community. As a delegate and former officer of the Advisory board, I can say that Belshaw, Woodward and Setzler were not authorized by the delegates of the Advisory board to present the question of state ownership of the lake to Congressman McClory. They did so as individuals, apparently misusing the letterhead of the Advisory board to gain added but unwarranted if not misleading stature." The safety cable at the dam will be installed four-feet above water level, hung on spring tension from specially fabricated brackets around the lead edges of the concrete abutment of the dam. Three battery-powered red blinker lights will be installed on the cable, to operate continuously day and night. The cable is a precautionary measure. No one is known to have gone over the dam in the 40-year history of the lake. At normal water level, a boat would not drift over the lip of the dam, Bixby, who has experimented using his rowboat, said. A boat with sufficient speed might go over, hence the cable to provide some safeguard. The visual factor to provide warning, especially for boaters who may be unfamiliar with the location of the dam, is the greater consideration. Adams Brothers Service, McHenry, will install the cable and lights at a cost of $370.00 which also includes four additional cross-cables in the spillway to prevent fishing from the sides of the dam. The dam is closed to all fishing as a matter of safety, particularly in the case of unattended youngsters, and to keep the public from entering. In other action, Master association directors authorized patrol of the lake during the Yacht club regatta Aug. 3 and 4, and a tour of the interior of the dam for twenty-four Boy Scouts under the direction of Dr. Bradley Crosby of Highland Shores. The lake will be posted for boating hazards under direction of Gordon C. Gran, of Wonder Woods, and Joseph R. Novak, of Indian Ridge. Luminouspainted floating 4-inch diameter wood posts will be anchored in up-cight position at 18 dangerous points. Posting the hazards is scheduled for May 26, or earlier weather permitting. The directors also approved posting new signs at all points where the public generally seeks entrance to the lake, notifying the public of the lake privacy and that trespassers will be prosecuted. Placement of the signs is at the direction of the lake and dam committee. The directors authorized access onto a section of lake bottom and marshland in the west bay, to the Wonder Lake Realty Trust company that is dredging Nippersink Creek to widen and deepen the creek to its dimensions of twelve years ago. This will include reopening a channel east by southeast from the creek mouth into the lake so that propery owners in Sunrise Ridge Unit 3 have boating access to the lake. The channel was blocked by silt last year following the heavy rainstorm. Realty Trust is spending approximately $10,000 for this project that also helps to improve the lake and property in that area. VOTER LEAGUE TO SELECT LOCAL TOPIC FOR STUDY Program planning and Con- Con will be tops on the agenda when the League of Women Voters of Woodstock-McHenry meet at the McHenry public library at 8 p.m. on Thursday, March 14. Mrs. Richard Weisz, 16410 Nelson road, Woodstock will be the hostess at a similar meeting at 12:45 p.m. on Thursday, March 19. Discussion of a local item for study and suggestions for the second round of national program planning will be primary topics, and members are urged to attend and make their views known. Final decisions will be made at the national convention of the League of Women Voters, which will be held in Chicago from April 29 to May 3. A continuation of the February presentation of one of this year's most vital issues, Con-Con, will be led by Mrs. Daniel Weisz, assisted by Mrs. Frank Sek, Mrs. LaMarr Williams, Mrs. Frank Kratky, Mrs. John Nolan, Mrs. Alfred Konger and Mrs. Donald Meyer. Several of these women have recently attended Con-Con speaker training sessions and will have up-to-the-minute information on the "hows" and "whys" of a Constitutional Convention for Illinois. To aid voters in securing the information they will need to cast an informed vote when the issue is put on the ballot at the general election next November, a Speakers bureau has been formed. Organizations which would like to arrange a program are invited to call the chairman Mrs. Daniel Weisz, or Mrs. Donald H. Meyer. School Provides New Training (Continued from page 1) be found to help identify the slow, average and gifted students, and guidelines set to challenge each individual. Second, after the identity of each of the children has been established and their learning potential discovered, the curriculum must be modified so it can West serve their individual needs. An average of twenty-five teachers have been taking advantage of these classes. George Haasl, Special Projects Director, for the McHenry schools commented about the program, "We are pleased with the turnout we have been having, but are hoping that more teachers will show interest in the classes." Winston McKean, assistant director of the Freeport Developmental center, Freeport, 111. spoke at the in-service education meeting of the District 15 teachers recently at the Junior high school. His subject W4S identifying the gifted child by. testing. Some of the tests are very new and emphasis is not placed on the intelligent quotient. IQ is used, however, as one of the tests for identifying the gifted child. All of the teachers in the in-service class participated in the program. All took parts of the tests and the results were very interesting. The gifted children at the center are not separately grouped. The gifted child is included in the regular class routine. The center believes that all mast live together in society so its philosophy is to include the gifted with the regular classes. SENTENCE WONDER LAKE YOUTH TO V AND ALIA TERM Thomas Morgan of Wonder Lake was sentenced to spend one year at the state farm in Vandalia for each of two offenses of which he was convicted when he appeared before Judge William Gleason in Branch I Circuit Court, Woodstock, this past week. The charges were aggravated assault and theft. Sentences will run concurrently. Morgan was charged with entering Reichert Chevrolet Sales on Main street, Crystal Lake, in October of, 1967. The same night, he was charged with aggravated assault with a knife on Randy Crawford.

Approximately 35,000 high school students competed for 1968-69 State Scholarships; 86 percent of all Illinois high schools have winners in this year's program. This is the eleventh class of winners to be announced. State Scholarships are renewable annually upon application. Dr. Joseph D. Boyd, executive director of the commission, explained the process by which awards are determined, students must be United States citizens and Illinois residents of good moral character. After academic qualifications have been met, qualified participants submit their applications foraward consideration. Monetary awards provide full or partial payment of tuition and fees to a maximum of $1,000; honorary awards provide an opportunity for monetary assistance in subsequent undergraduate years if the need arises. A detailed need analysis is applied against the data submitted by the monetary award applicant, and includes the specific cost of the approved institution selected by the student. A committee, experienced in the area of financial aid, assists in the evaluation of financial need. Students wishing to participate in the 1969-70 State Scholarship Program must be high school graduates by August, 1969, and take the qualifying examination to be administered by the American College Testing Program on two dates: Saturday, May 11 or Saturday, Aug. 3, 1968.
