PAGE 8 - PLAINDE A1.ER - WEDNESDAY. APRIL 18. lWf y Farmers View Clean Water Plan * Two McHenry county far- piers were among the more . than 50 who testified in person ,on the Illinois EPA's proposed ;^08 water quality proposal, and pow citizens are awaiting what recommendations will be sent "Governor Jim Thompson before the May 1 deadline. •' Don Cash and Bill Olbrich, ' Harvard area farmers, both 1 offered views in support of reducing damage from soil erosion with a volunteer program. The EPA report lists > soil erosion as the main source of water pollution from • agricultural sources, and farmers agree that this is a serious matter. " Both men support assigning tiyerall administrative fesponsibilities for soil erosion bontrol to the Illinois Depart­ ment of Agriculture. Both join t (he many farmers who spoke in ,iavor of giving the respon­ sibility for local administration to the respective County Soil '>hnd Water Conservation > Districts. . With one exception the 49 farmers who spoke (one "Speaker represented a Win- nebago county governmental unit) said they want the program to be voluntary, and they expect farmers to comply because farmers know the value of sound conservation practices to enhance their farm's value by preserving valuable top soil. Cash, who operates 350 acres and feeds 500 head of cattle annually in a partnership with his brother, Dave, said he believes there is need for ex­ panded research and education programs on soil erosion problems. "I also support an increase in the staffing and efforts of the Extension service for research into sources of pollutions from non-urban areas," said Cash. Concerning enforcement, Cash presented this view to the EPA hearing officer at Rock- ford: "Topsoil is very valuable to farmers and I believe they will respond more readily with incentives, technical assistance and persuasion than to force." The EPA proposal had suggested enforcement be carried out through Circuit court action. Olbrich, who farms 700 acres and operates a 35-cow dairy herd south of Harvard, said he supports an increased staff for the Extension service because he believes education must be increased in a significant amount. "I believe erosion control can best be accomplished by showing farmers, through technical assistance and cost sharing, that they can maintain yields and still prevent top soil from washing away. I feel a voluntary program will work. "I do believe more research and educational programs will have to be done on pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers concerning the proper times to apply and the rates to apply. "This is necessary to minimize the chances of chemicals eroding and polluting. We must remember that by using more minimum tillage or no-till techniques, we'll count more heavily on insect and weed control chemicals." When Governor Thompson decides on his program to implement the national water quality program, he'll send it to the U.S. Environmental Protection agency. It can approve all or part of the program, but the goal set by Congress is that all waters in the U.S. must be "fishabie and swimmable" by 1983. The one farmer who spoke in favor of a required program of erosion control was Dick Bend, Shabbona farmer who is chairman of the DeKalb County Soil and Water Conservation district. "We have completed 33 years of voluntary conservation and our soil losses are greater than ever before," explained Bend. "When considering this ap­ parent neglect on the part of farmers, the majority opinion of our board is that we support making the soil erosion stan­ dards enforceable through Circuit Court action. "We feel cost sharing should be available to those whose erosion problems cannot be solved with a tillage practice." Bend pointed out the district board believes a mandatory policy would put greater pressure on the Illinois General Assembly to provide adequate funding and create a greater sense of urgency in solving Illinois' erosion and sedimentary problems.

A party was held at the McHenry Moose Lodge for friends and relatives. An invitation was sent to President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalyn. The Kunkel's received a card of congratulations signed by Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter. The invitation was sent by their daughter Marj Nolan and came as a complete surprise to the Kunkel's. But they are very proud of the card. RUMMAGE SALE The Mount Hope Methodist church of Pistakee Highlands, located at 1015 Broadway is holding a rummage sale to raise funds. The rummage sale will be held Thursday, April 26, and Saturday, April 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days. Saturday there will also be a bake sale. For more information regarding the rummage and bake sale you can call Mrs. Noah P. (Mary) Nolan. RECEDING WATERS As the waters of the Fox river and surrounding lakes start to recede, residents start to relax and begin the enormous job of cleaning up. The Emergency Service center set up by the American Red Cross at the Johnsburg Community club closed after just four days. Bonnie Sloan, who was assisting at the center, said that in four days no one came to ask for assistance. She said we're pretty self sufficient out here. So Bonnie was going to Peoria to assist victims of the flood-swollen Illinois river. She assured me she would be back if the need arises. Spring rains can bring the waters back up, which did happen with the rains of the past few days. Though the water has not come up that much, we still will have the water that comes down from up north to reckon with once the spring thaws start in Wisconsin and Minnesota. CALIFORNIA, HERE WE COME Friends and neighbors of Josephine and Clarence Mullen will be bidding them farewell this week when they leave April 20 to make their home in San Francisco. The Mullen's went to San Francisco after the blizzard of '79 to escape our winter for a few weeks. They decided they have had enough of midwest winters. So they will be California bound shortly, and will manage an apartment complex. ANNIVERSARY This week's anniversary couple is Eleanor and Elbert Schuberth, 4206 Riverview. April 19 is their special day. Congratulations and best wishes for a happy day. BIRTHDAYS Birthday greetings this week go to Rudy Gamperl who has his day on April 16. Art Kunkel has his day April 18, and April 20 is the special day for Kathleen Fleming. Best wishes to you all for a happy day followed by a year full of happy days.

Told rwice Outdoor Club On River FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 18, 1929) , John R. Knox was elected mayor of the city of McHenry at the annual election. For the third and last time this month the people of McHenry went to the polls and expressed their choice of candidates running for office, with the result that John R. Knox won the election by 106 votes over his opponent, Peter Wm. Frett, present mayor of the city. Messrs. Knox and Frett were opponents two years ago for the mayoralty when Mayor Frett won the election by 50 votes. Before an audience that more than filled the Community high school auditorium the mem­ bers of the senior class of the high school presented their annual class play, "Honor Bright". FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 27, 1939) Roy J. Stewart, Dorr township supervisor, was elected to the chairmanship of the McHenry County board of supervisors, succeeding John J. Filip of Algonquin township. Chairman Stewart is the fifty- third person to hold the office in this county. His selection was unanimous. McHenry is now one of the cleanest cities in Illinois. Diligent work on the part of the city and good citizens have made it so; civic pride should keep it thus. "Clean-up week" last year was a success, but even more so this year. Citizens manifested a great deal of enthusiasm and lent hearty cooperation to the splendid enterprise. The Johnsburg Colts opened their baseball season by giving the Shamrocks from Irish Prairie a thorough beating. Joe Jackson was on the mound for the Johnsburg team while Jim Larkin pitched for the Shamrocks. The final score was 10-2. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 22, 1954) A million dollar laboratory whose cornerstone was laid at the Rt. 14 site will house the entire research department of the Ringwood Chemical company, along with the research department of the Morton Salt company. The 107- year-old Morton Salt company is establishing the first research laboratory of its kind, one devoted to the by-products of salt, which is inorganic. Ringwood Chemical em­ phasizes organic chemistry and the two groups will join in research and development. The V.F.W. auxiliary presented a check for $155 to the city library fund. The check represented the proceeds of a cake mix sale. Marticke & Nixon, tire recapping firm in McHenry, suffered considerable damage from a fire which occurred about 3 o'clock in the morning. TEN YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of April 16, 1969) Women proved their growing strength in gaining civic offices when they topped voting in both Consolidated School District 156. Two men also were named to office. Winners in District 15 were Anna Mae Cuda with 539 votes and Richard Golbeck with 513. District 156 winners were Catherine Alvary with 705 votes and Clint Claypool with 637. With a vote of 2,725, Thomas Parsley of Crystal Lake was returned to office on the McHenry County college board. Swept into victory with Mr. Parsley was Donald Truckenbrod of McHenry, who had the support of 2,015 voters. Mr. Truckenbrod will be the first resident of this community to serve on the board. Goodwill Truck Will Visit McHenry April 27 The residents of this area are reminded to join the Goodwill Industries program of restoring people when the truck makes a visit in the area, which will be April 27, according to Mrs. Nick J. (Agnes) Adams, 1007 N. Plymouth lane, local representative. For pickup service or in­ formation about Goodwill, call Mrs. Adams. "Many people picture Goodwill Industries as an agency restoring clothing and housewares to new usefulness, but actually it is primarily concerned with restoring people." Mrs. Adams reported. "Rehabilitation of disabled people is the only reason Goodwill asks for donations of repairable discards. By repairing and selling donated merchandise the agency is able to create jobs that give hun­ dreds of handicapped a new lease on life," she continued. In order to maintain a hun­ dred disabled employees, Goodwill needs a 34 million pounds of textiles and 100,000 boxes of miscellaney. This represents 2,100 tons of material. The amount of ser­ vice depends entirely upon the public, as Goodwill is owned and controlled by the people, not the state, a church group or private enterprise.
