r - McHenry County Will Walk For Bald Eagles On Sunday, April 27, McHenry county residents concerned about the future of the Bald Eagle in Illinois will go for a walk! They'll be seeking donations for the purchase of an eagle refuge in the bot­ tomlands of the Mississippi river valley in Illinois. The county effort, to secure donations, is being sponsored by the McHenry County Junior Defenders. The Walk for the Eagles will begin at two dif­ ferent locations. The'longest distance will start at the new courthouse in Woodstock and proceed to McHenry down Rt. 120. from McHenry, the walkers will walk south to Veterans Acres in Crystal Lake. This walk will begin at 9 a.m. At 11 a.m., a second shorter walk will begin at McHenry West campus high school in McHenry and travel south down the Crystal Lake blacktop to Veterans Acres. After the walk, the hungry stomachs will be fed, thanks to the Junior Defenders, who will provide food. The county effort is in con­ junction with the Illinois Department of Conservation and the Illinois Audubon society. Gov. Walker on Jan. 30 proclaimed April 21-27 as "Bald Eagle Appreciation" week. The Governor called for "a state­ wide walk to assist in raising funds to preserve these im­ portant river bottomlands for the Bald Eagle." He also urged "school groups, other associations and all Illinoisans to participate...to insure the future of our national bird." The Illinois Audubon society has been designated a sponsor of this program and the Illinois chapter of the Nature con­ servancy will assist in locating and purchasing the necessary lands. The Illinois Nature conservancy has indicated an immediate need for at least 660 acres along the Mississippi river as an eagle refuge area. Nearly 800 eagles now spend the winter in this area. Bald Eagles, symbol of prestige and majesty of this land, have suffered greatly because of man and are now considered an endangered species. Bald Eagles once- nested in Illinois but no longer do. Every winter, ap­ proximately 500-800 eagles concentrate along the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. Fish is the eagle's chief diet, so it is obvious why these birds associate along major rivers. Review Legislation Concerning Heating, Plumbing Industry Legislation affecting the construction industry in general and the plumbing and heating industry in particular will be reviewed at the annual Legislative night of the Plumbing and Heating Con­ tractors association of Lake and McHenry counties Friday, April 18, at 6:30 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, Mundelein. Participating in the program will be many, including 32nd District Senator Jack Schaffer of Crystal Lake, State Reps. Thomas J. Hanahan Jr., of McHenry, Cal Skinner, Jr., of Crystal Lake and R. Bruce Waddell of Dundee, representing the 33rd district. Legislation slated for discussion ranges from ap­ prentice training in the con­ struction industry to Work­ men's Compensation bills and includes proposals for changes in the state purchasing act, certification of plumbing contractors, bills related to the hiring and utilization of minorities and women in the construction industry, changes in the Mechanics Lien laws, and licensing of well-diggers. "Legislation to be discussed bears directly on the con­ struction industry in most cases, but the proposed laws will also directly affect the general consuming public since many of the bills could result in higher construction and maintenance costs," according to S. Jack Shull, of Libertyville, president of the Lake and McHenry association. The Hmckndmt Basket Bonanza Ail of Our Boskets Feature Tongy Cote Stow and Crispy French Fries.

Rte. 120-McHenry 385-9725 Since much of the needed eagle habitat along the rivers has been destroyed, preservation of existing habitat is mandatory for eagle survival. Without protection in the wintering grounds, there would be few healthy eagles returning north' for nesting. Winter habitat must include safety from man--theil^only enemy. Now is the time that the only enemy of the eagles becomes the' provider of his habitat. The "Walk for the Eagles" is open to any one interested in saving this national symbol. Donations will be made by a pledge system in which walkers will walk for so much money per mile. The longest walk is approximately 15 miles, the shorter walk 5 miles. Those interested in walking from this area should call Vickie Temple 385-2216. She may also be contacted for a pledge of money. Carry Campaign Against Regionalism To Jo lief Hearing On his way to Springfield last week, State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr. (R-Crystal Lake)' testified at the Joliet hearing on Health Service Area designations for northeastern Illinois. Skinner was one of nineteen who testified in favor of splitting the six-county metropolitan Chicago area. Only the Northeastern Illinois Planning commission (NIPC) testified against that position. Apologizing for being "gun- shy" with regard to regional planning as a result of his district's treatment during the drafting and the first twelve month's activities of the Regional Transportation authority, Skinner said it was "lotally unacceptable" for his area to be "lumped in with Chicago or as part of a six- county regional health planning agency." He pointed out that his Fox River Valley constituency has virtually nothing in common with Chicago except proximity and the unfortunate fact that his counties had been made part of the Chicago Standard Metropolitan Statistical area (SMSA) by "some middle level Census Bureau bureaucrat in the mid-fifties." Skinner argued specifically against "being lumped under NIPC's six county planning agency." Pointing out that the staff was not under the control of the commissioners, Skinner in­ troduced into the Illinois Comprehensive Health agency (ICHPA) hearing record a letter from a board member of PAGE 5 - ^LAiNULALtn-rniUAi, Arrnt is, in» Operation Health, Inc. (the local CHPA serving Kane, Kendall and McHenry county) describing how NIPC has at­ tempted to coerce Operation Health into signing a working agreement which would force Operation Health's recom­ mendations to mesh entirely with NIPC plans. "That NIPC's staff did so last June without authorization was confirmed when I asked McHenry county's NIPC Commissioner Robert Olson (R-Nunda township) if the commission had authorized such an approach.
