Discuss Waste Disposal Problems At Defenders Meet Walter Dean, Chairman of the McHenry County Board, was interviewed recently by a member of the McHenry County Defenders, regarding their wast disposal program to be given Thursday evening, Oct. 10, at Central School in Crystal Lake. Mr. Dean, who is also Chairman of the County Landfill Committee, will no doubt play an important role in the decisions to be made towards solving the county's waste disposal problem. Mr. Dean emphasized the seriousness erf these problems, and stated that although the Landfill Committee is concerned with all aspects of waste disposal, the disposal of septic effluent is the most pressing at this time and must be resolved shortly. While some communities are willing to accept small amounts of septic effluent into their sewage treatment facilities, he said, any appreciable quantity is not acceptable because it would severely interfere with the bacterial action so important to the treatment process. Municipalities have their own problems with disposal of sewage sludge, and, according to Mr. Dean, are very interested in finding approved sites and methods to dispose of this material. The County Board chiarman also said that there are several large animal feedlots within the county whose operators are finding it difficult to satisfactorily dispose of the amounts of manure generated in these feedlots. Defenders have planned this program in the belief that its featured speaker will present a possible solution that is also environmentally sound and will be of special interest to city officials, septic pumpers and feedlot operators, as well as citizens concerned about the health of the people and the environment of McHenry County. The public meeting starts at 7:30 D.m. On Oct. 10 in the auditorim. Central School is located at Paddock and McHenry Avenue in Crystal Lake. U.S. to send Egypt 100,- 000 tons of wheat. Holiday Hills Karen Kottke 385-6675 Hold Girl Scout Registration At Topalskl Home All girls from the Griswold Lake area in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades are invited to register for the Junior Girl Scout Troop 478, on Tuesday, Oct. 8, at Mrs. Pat Topolski's home, 1506 W. Evergreen. At least one parent is required to attend the registration meeting. We are delighted to report that we have three volunteers handling the troop this year. We would like to thank Pat Topolski, Karen Matsie, and Glenna Kessler for accepting the responsibility of this troop. Here's hoping that both the girls and the new troop leaders will have an eventful and successful year. Hope to hear from one of you ladies regularly with news on the troop activities. STUDENTS ATTEND BASEBALL GAME Over a hundred students from McHenry Junior high school and their aduit chaperones attended a baseball game at Wrigley Field on Saturday, Sept. 28, between the Cubs and division leaders, St. Louis Cardinals. Happily for the Cub fans they were winners with an 8-3 score. Among those in attendance were John Grether, Rick Kottke, Mike and Pat Priko, Phil Smith and Terry, Tim, and Mandy Bourke. WOMEN'S CLUB DINNER The Holiday Hills Women's Club will hold its annual kick- off dinner on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the Mahon residence, 1509 W. Birch. Cocktails will be served at 6:30 p.m. The main course of roast beef and ham will be accompanied by many interesting side dishes provided by the club members. We hope to see all our old friends and many new ones at this event. BOWLING NEWS News is trickling in about the Friday night mixed league at the Crystal Lake bowling alley. Among the couples showing their adeptness are Jack and Marge Connell and their teammates, Larry and Sharon Kottke. Also bowling with the league are Tim and Lorene Farr. Good luck to all! FIELD TRIPS So far, with almost a full month of school behind us, we've endured five field trips. It seems as if this is going to be quite an interesting and informative year for the children. My children have been to a ball game, an apple orchard, a museum, and a farm already. It seems like a lot of field trips, but I guess with children in three different schools it's predictable. I'm really happy with the quality of teachers and educators the McHenry school systems are offering our children this year. It's more than just a job to them, they seem to have a personal interest in the children's educational well being. Keep up the good work, these kids will be grateful in years to come for the experiences, as we parents are presently. ATTEND CONFIRMATION The Wegener family spent an enjoyable day attending the Confirmation of Dee's niece and nephew. Dave Kuester and Kris Carlson of Downers Grove were confirmed at the Gloria Dei Lutheran Church on Sunday, Sept. 29, with many of their aunts, uncles, and cousins in attendance. Best wishes to these two youths as they take one more step into adulthood.

Cal Skinner, Jr.'s third legislative questionnaire is being returned than for any he has conducted. Skinner urges those who still have them lying around the house to complete them and return them to his office, No. 8 Crystal Lake plaza in Crystal Lake. "I don't know why more people are taking the time to provide input into issues that the Illinois General Assembly will probably face this fall or next spring, but whatever it is, I hope it continues," remarked Skinner. He estimates that well over 500 have already been returned. "That doesn't compare too favorably with the percentage return that many congressmen get on their punch card surveys, but it certainly means that more people are interested in what state government does than in the past." When he took office in 1972, Skinner set the goal of sending at least one legislative questionnaire and newsletter to each household containing a registered voter. Labels were typed and three questionnaire - newsletters have been mailed during the past two years. "In any mailing list there are inaccuracies and undoubtedly some people who moved to the 33rd district since the labels were typed were missed. Nevertheless, we've come pretty close to meeting our goal." On the last two question­ naires, Skinner has asked for suggestions of how he could improve the way he has represented his constituents. Several replied that they liked the newsletter and being able to have a "say" on issues before a vote is taken, but that they thought newsletters should come more often. Skinner agrees, but points out that the cost of mailing newsletters to 55,000 constituent households is well over $3,000, even at the third class rate of 6,1 cents each. That doesn't even consider the cost of paper, which Skinner notes has almost doubled in price this past year. "Congressmen like McClory, on the other hand, have to pay nothing for postage for their newsletters. They have what is called a 'franking' privilege, which allows them to send mail through the Postal System by just printing their signature where a stamp or third class permit would ordinarily go,'- the Crystal Lake representa­ tive explained. "State legislators have not been granted this privilege." "There's another way that my state senator has tried and that is to try to get people to subscribe to a legislative newsletter in order to qualify for the extremely low second class postage rates. While it costs me 6.1 cents to mail out a newsletter, my state senator will play only one-half cent, if he gets his requested permit. "The problem I see with this sytem is that those who don't feel strongly enough to pay for a subscription may never get a legislative report."

Viscounts S SjPwj* By Bob Wiles and Sandra Betancourt The Viscount Drum and Bugle Corps is holding a car wash at a local filling station, 3811 W. Elm street, on Oct. 5, with rain date Oct. 12, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Skinner hopes to continue the practice of mailing a newsletter to every constituent household during his next term, as well as mail each of the newsletters to any of his constituents who ask to be on his regular mailing list. "By the time we get through processing this month's newsletters, we will probably have over 1,000 people who have shown enough interest in state government to ask to receive each of my legislative newsletters and question­ naires." Skinner asks that anyone wanting to be on this permanent mailing list to drop him a note at his office at the Crystal Lake Plaza. These might include those who have not yet received a questionnaire, have received one but have not indicated they would like to be on the permanent mailing list or those who just don't remember whether or not they asked to continue receiving the newsletter. "Some people who return the newsletter specifically ask to receive more newsletters, but then don't give us any indication of who they are. If they will send us a letter, we can accommodate them; if they don't, I'm certain I'll get the same suggestion the next time one of them is mailed at random to their household." Questions addressed on Skinner's third questionnaire include ones on when Memorial Day should be celebrated. ("I even put in a question asking whether people were willing to give up a three day holiday in order to have the state celebrate Memorial Day on May 30, if the Federal government insisted on keeping their celebration on the fourth Monday in May, to make certain people fully understood the consequences of having the state celebrate on one day and the Federal government on another day," Skinner said.) A previous "mini-poll" indicated sixty percent of those replying wanted Illinois to stick with May 30. Ohter questions ask about legalizing the private use of marijuana, ethics legislation, combining elections, abortion, the Equal Rights Amendment, etc. Enclosed with Skinner's newsletter in McHenry and Kane Counties is a question­ naire designed to obtain basic demographocal data that, when analyzed, should help determine what type of additional public transportation our area should request from the Regional Transportation Authority Board when it holds its first annual public hearings in McHenry and Kane Counties. 4 V 4» £ ZEsanfc C.P.R.
