"Landowners should remember that they are liable for damages if a fire they set gets out of control and leaves their property. "There are fire watches out for most of central-0 and southern Illinois and there are several counties in the southern part of the state that are prohibiting all burning without special permits from the local fire wardens. "landowners should caution hunters to be careful with fire and if a fire does break out they should report it immediately to the nearest law enforcement agency or fire department." KAY F. MAKSOI.AN. COUNTY PLANNER ^ As director of planning for Douglas county, Ga.. Kay F. Marsolan serves as guardian for the fastest growing county in the Atlanta metropolitan area. It is the home of over 39,000 people, and also contains the Dog river, described by environmentalist John Milton as "one of the most beautiful rivers in-North America." A native North Carolinian, Ms Marsolan studied at Marshall University, Hun­ tington, WV., in preparation for a career in the foreign service. But after graduation, she landed a job with the Kentucky State Planning department, becoming the first female planner to be certified by that state. She moved on to a similar job with the state of Georgia and then to an educational television station in Pittsburgh, Pa. In 1973, she joined the Douglas county planning department. When her boss left, Kay Marsolan was asked to take over the department. She did, bringing to the job fourteen years of planning experience. "What my goal is for this county," she says, "is an equal balance of residential, com­ mercial and industrial." Out of a conviction that "citizens definitely have a role to play - particularly in zoning hearings," Ms. Marsolan frequently speaks - and listens - at civic clubs and other organizations. She wants to see Douglas county develop as a community. "I love this place," she ex­ plains, "where you can start with the new, the fresh ideas." One person with creativity can do a lot. Kay Marsolan is proving it. Now's the time for cooks to get their favorite chicken recipes into the running for a part of the $25,000 prize money in the National Chicken Cooking Contest.
