Grandma Sez ••• Nostalgia seems t' take o'er, lately, remember-in' th' beauty o' McHenry. Like a tree, transplanted too many times, th' roots don't take t' th' new location as easy, so it is wi' this ol' granny, a tryin' t ' take root, in this new environment. Nearly a year, since leavin' me beloved town. Th' pictures float through me mind, like a panorama, o' th' beautiful land, th' farms, th' town, an'th' beautiful Fox river. Me heart takes a bump, on readin' about th' pollution affectin' th' fish, t ' th' extent that they ain't safe t' eat. Must we accept th' fact that nothin' c'n be done t' correct all th' damage done, through neglect, an' selfish abuse ?>' th' great gifts o' Nature? It comes t' attention, too, that th' lovely little McCullom Lake, is so bad, swimmers take a chance, in takin' a coolin' dip. It's up t' us, t ' fix things. Wi' all th' good intentions o' conservation groups, it ' ppears that efforts prove fruitless. Reports, o' last year an' th' year b'fore, seemed en- couragin' but a body b'gins t' think that folks don't care. Like a new broom, they start out real good, an' then th' en­ thusiasm dies down, an' things slip back, into th' nice little, easy goin' ways, 'til things get 1 so bad there ain' no cure. Then what'll happen? It ain't nice t' . think about that. It won't be nice t' live wi', ye c'n bet. Folks get so involved wi' just Mivin', they get into th' habit o' o'er-lookin' th' needs o' Nature. Seems t' this ol' lady, that it aint' so much that folks don't care, but more like th' ol' sayin' goes, "So close t' th' forest, they can't see th' trees." But, it 's a scary sitiation, an' it's a gittin' a bit late, t ' help th' sad condition. Seems amazin' that things 're a gittin' worse wi' all th' effort put forth, I helpol' Mother Nature recover. It c'n be accomplished, only, wi' th' help o' each one o' us, rememberin' t ' watch out f'r carelessness. Wonder what happened t' th' watch, on detergents, an'jill th' harmful items, detrimental t ' a healthy condition, o' this ol' world. Better git after those, in control o' management o' things, crucial t ' our welfare. Grandma Radtke Legal Notice ORDINANCE NO.
