SECTION 2 - PAGE 4 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, MARCH 9,1979 Wildlife Weather Winter The good news is that most wildlife seem to be surviving the winter without massive die- offs. The bad news is that with the cumulative effects of three bad winters in a row, some species haven't had a chance to bounce back from the lean years of 1977-78. The only really practical thing people can do to help wildlife weather these harsh times is to provide suitable varied habitat which will protect animals from the elements while sup­ plying them with food, ac­ cording to Vernon Kleen, non- game biologist for the Illinois Department of Conservation. In an urban environment this means a variety of shrubs such as honeysuckle or rose bushes and at a variety of heights. One measure of the har­ shness of this winter is that fish kills are expected again in many ponds and lakes too shallow to sustain enough oxygen under heavy snow and ice cover. Despite an aeration system at Turner Lake at Chain 0' Lakes State park in Lake county, fish were showing signs of suffocating earlier this month. Biologists rushed to beef up the system and are Model Car Contestants Contestants in the McHenry Junior high school model car contest are shown above: Front, left to right, Mike Frits, Mike Bellich, Brian Thietje, John Neumann, Bruce Miyald, Robert Burman, Robert Hauschild, Rick Witt and Wendell Prudhomme; second row, Joe Calarco, Bob Heber, Bob Sarritz, Dirk Aissen, John Keevil, John Armstrong and Dan Haderty; third row, Jeff Webster, Tom Alcott, Mike Ohrwall, Ron Bos and Robbie Kirland. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Vans, trucks and cars were included when McHenry Junior high school held its ninth an­ nual model car contest Friday, March 2. The top winners were Joe Calarco with his entry, Wrecking Company, and Dan Haderly with his Green Classic. Four judges had 10 points each to award to the con­ testants. Out of a possible 40 points, Joe Calarco received 39'*. The criteria for judging was neatness in assembly, cementing, and originality of thedisplay.The judges were Dr. Richard Farmer, superin­ tendent of District 15 schools; Held Your Own For 10% Down Our allotted Toro snowthrowers were gone early this winter, despite record production.

Although fish kills are ex­ pected, their severity has yet to be gauged. Deeper lakes that are the better fishing areas probably will not be adversely affected, said Illinois Depart­ ment of Conservation fishery biologist Gary Erickson. Although a few cases of deer mortality have been reported in northern Illinois, no widespread problems are evident to biologists who helicoptered about the state recently looking for signs of deer starvation. What mor­ tality that does occur is often associated with deer being run to exhaustion by dogs rather than simple starvation, said Forrest Loomis, forest game biologist for the Department of Conservation. Perhaps least affected by the weather are the hardy fur- bearers like raccoons, skunk, muskrat and beaver. These animals have no problem surviving. Like many people, they can avoid the rigors of winter by denning up for days at a time. Iwice Told Bill Dodds, principal of East campus; Ms. Laural Eisbrehner; psychologist for District 15; and Mrs. Charlee Gueths, account executive and parent. The contest sponsor was Ms. Kathleen Shea, counselor at McHenry Junior high school. FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 7, 1929) Heated arguments took place at the regular City Council meeting. Alderman Knox moved that the city treasurer place all moneys received for bonds and interest in a separate account from the general ac­ count, to be known as the bond and interest account. Alderman Kreutzer opened up a discussion as to whether the members of the board of local improvements were entitled to draw salaries as members of the Board of Local Improvements in addition to the salary of city aldermen. On being informed by Attorney Cowlin that no city official could draw two salaries at the same time, Alderman Kreutzer made a motion, seconded by Alderman Stoffel, that all money paid out in salaries illegally to the past boards of local improvements for the last five years he collected from the said city officials and placed in the general fund. Motion was carried. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 16, 1939) An interesting highlight of the week was the formation of the McCullom Lake Civic club at a meeting which was held at the F.W. Bailey home. The club, at present, is comprised of the permanent residents of McCullom Lake who have organized to promote the mutal interest of their community, and having found it a good place to live, propose to make it a better one. A century of blessing will be depicted in a gripping and interesting sound film picture to be shown at Zion Evangelical Lutheran church. Zion Evangelical Lutheran church, the first Lutheran church in McHenry, also has a long history dating back to more than half a century. The moving picture, "Golgotha", the only all- talking life of Christ ever brought to the screen, will be shown in the McHenry high school auditorium. The picture is being sponsored by the Holy Name society of St. Mary's church. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of March 11, 1954) * A lifetime of memories was reviewed before 1,000 friends of Superintendent of Schools C.H. Duker in the high school gymnasium as the educator of the past thirty-nine years was honored in a public portrayal of "This Is Your Life". The seventy-five minute program moved much too quickly, so interesting was his life story and so impressive the manner of reproduction. To Fred Meyer goes much credit for his many hours of research into the early life of Mr. Duker, learning the names of those who had been most closely associated with him. Two McHenry soloists and four ensembles came home * from the district music contest at Maine Township high school with superior ratings. Winning superior ratings were Sharon Garner, girls' low voice; Bill Weber, boys' low voice; and the flute trio. A number of other soloists and ensembles received excellent ratings. The local number of points ac­ cumulated by local winnings gave McHenry a tie with Woodstock for high number of sweepstakes points thus far in the contest.

The Ramada Inn petition was also approved, but calls for clarification of right-of-way from Green street to the property involved. Market Place merchants met with city and state officials to discuss future development and growth of the McHenry shopping center. Topic discussed included the need for better control during rush hour traffic around the center. State and local officials discussed the possibility of signal lights or a traffic director during the peak periods. ffspr • m / v m • CANDY TIME - Shawn Ketchum, on the left, and April Lienhard, members of the Bluebird division of Campflre Girls, are reminding all that Campflre Girls in McHenry will be selling five delicious kinds of candy beginning March 15.
