Twice Told Tales FORTY YEARSAGO (Taken from the files of Nov 3 1932) ' One McHenry County school has been recognized as a superior school and four have received recognition as stan­ dard schools from the state department of education and the school diplomas for such distinction have heen received by the County Superintendent, Mrs. E.C. Coe, from the state department of education. The honor to the schools followed an inspection tour of all county rural schools by T, Arthur Simpson of Springfield, state superintendent. The superior school, which is the highest honored is the two room school at Ringwood taught by Roland McCannon and Mrs. Arline Pearson. Among the schools honored as standard schools is the Harrison school of which Edith Baldwin is teacher. Ezra T. Taylor, 86 years old, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. N.E. Taylor, in McHenry Wednesday morning. He had made his home here for a number of years. The McHenry Warriors got off on the right foot Saturday to beat Elgin B team 28 to 0.

Jean of Wonder Lake died Nov. 5 at Hines hospital where he had been a patient for two days but had been ill for two years. He was thirty-seven years nIH How much concern do McHenry county residents have for their environment? That question will be answered clearly on Nov. 7 when the county's voters decide whether or not to create a referendum health department with its own tax levy for community health facilities and services. The existing McHenry County Health department was established by a county board resolution in 1966. The total annual cost of the department is about $1.30 per person. Operating funds are received from fees, Medicare, state and federal grants, and the county's general fund. Last year ex­ penses were $190,000; income from fees, Medicare and grants was $110,000; the balance of $80,000 came from the general fund. In the current fiscal year, the department will receive state and federal grants of some $61,000. However, after 1977, possibly as early as 1974, such grants will be available to referendum departments only. As a matter of fact, McHenry county's health department already has missed out on about $210,000 in potential grants available over the past few years to referendum health departments but not to resolution departments. Unless the Nov. 7 referendum passes so the department remains eligible for state and federal grants, the general fund would have to provide at least $140,000 annually just to keep health services at their present level. In addition to the financial urgency cited by the Referendum committee, for passing the tax, members say there is an environmental urgency. Up until now, McHenry county has escaped "Now is vhe time to plan your future". This is the advice Mrs. Lenore Cooley, education and scholarship chairman of McHenry of the American Legion auxiliary, to high school students. Dr. August Rosetti and his family are now making their home in the Carl L. Antonson place on Grove avenue which they have purchased. James Wegener, Ray Stilling, Cecil Ballowe and Glen Draper, representatives of the Worts Transit Company, all of McHenry, will be legislative delegates at the Illinois School Bus Contractors association meeting in Springfield, Nov. 10.

As the county grows, however, it can no longer ignore the environmental crisis. Recognizing the growing pressures on the land, the county now requires builders to submit all septic system plans to the health department for approval before building permits can be granted. At least 10 per cent of the plans reviewed do not meet today's code, according to Richard A. Wissell, M.P.H , health department administrator. Of the 982 plans reviewed in the first six months of this year, 127 were returned to engineers. The majority of these were rejected because of the proximity of septic system to wells, or improper protection to the ground water. This review procedure prevents pollution before it happens. Improper handling of sewage accounts for many of the complaints registered with the health department. These complaints may be against residents, commercial and industrial operations or towns and villages. Swift handling of complaints is essential. For example, hundreds of people may have been saved from serious illness when the health department acted on a com­ plaint against a local golf course, which was sprinkling improperly treated .sewage effluent on its greens and into a nearby stream. Investigation also revealed that the golf course was operating sewage treatment facilities without the required license from the state Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It often takes a dramatic incident to prove that McHenry county does have day-to-day environmental problems, the committee points out. Few citizens would be aware of the following evidence found in health department case files: It was a cold, .wintry af­ ternoon. The sun's lengthening rays shone on a bright red stream across the county high­ way. A school bus skidded to a stop to unload young passengers. As the children walked away from the bus. they left blooded tracks in the snow. Aghast, the driver reported the incident. Health department inspectors were on the scene in no time. Here's what they found: a local packing plant was dumping waste blood and animal paunch manure (left in the stomach at time of slaughter) on adjacent fields. Large volumes of blood were running across the road...stray dogs and cats were feasting on the waste...the bacteria-loaded waste was a potential source of disease. The health department forced the packing plant to truck its blood to a rendering plant. The EPA was asked to make a thorough investigation, which revealed that the plant also was polluting a nearby stream with outflow from an inadequate septic system. Unfortunately, the violations were discovered too late to save the farmer's hayfield across the road. By spring his alfalfa was dead. By pushing for referendum health departments, state and federal authorities are saying, in essence, that counties will have to commit themselves to a PAGE 5-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, Multipliers For Counties Are Announced The equalization multipliers which the State Department of Local Government Affairs issued to county clerks as required by law for 1971 for the equalization of local property tax assessments have been announced. McHenry county's multiplier health department program if they want to be eligible for state and federal funds. A citizens Health Depart­ ment Referendum committee has been campaigning throughout the county for voter support jof the referendum Litera^Jtfreand speakers are available to civic groups by calling the health department, 338-3540. The Woodstock- McHenry League of Women Voters also is supporting the referendum. Their study of health services in McHenry county is available by calling June Girard, 338-1617. OCTOBER 25, 1972 is .9804, one of the lowest. Most counties are 1.0 or higher. Legislation was passed in 1971, effective Jan. 1 of this year, whereby the department will determine multipliers On an annual basis rather than multipliers determined during the year of the quadrennial assessment remaining constant in each of the following three years. In a township county, which government exists in McHenry county, upon the request of the county executive, the depart­ ment will determine township equalization factors and multipliers and they will apply in lieu of a single multiplier for the entire county.
