V i u i A v f . Study Possible Health Agency Consolidation bv Joanne Springman Shaw News Media Service To save money, officials of the Health Systems Agency for Kane, Lake and McHenry counties are looking to consolidate with their neighbors to the southeast, but not Chicago or Cook county. HSA-KLM Executive Director Dick Janishewski said officials are considering plans to conserve and share funding so federal budget cuts won't put the local agency out of business. In the last three years, federal funding for the tri-county agency has been cut almost in half. Officials expect word on this year's federal funding in October, but insufficient or no funding could put an aid to the HSA-KLM and similar agencies. To stay in business, Janishewski and his counterparts at other regional agencies devised a plan to combine the operations of the HSA-KLM with similar agencies in Chicago and suburban Cook and DuPage counties. But when the plan was put before the HSA-KLM board recently, Janishewski said there was much opposition, especially from members Notice WAUCONDA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT APRIL 30.1981 TO APRIL 30,1982 FINANCIAL STATEMENT RECEIPTS April May June My August September October November 30, 1981 - Cash on Hand, Wauconda National Bank A.

" c.TDcoD>Don a \tt\ purAniT m/~\ l , -s-Mitchell Bienkowski SUBSCRIBED AND SWORN TO before me this 31st day of August, 1982. No. 820387 (Pub Sept. 10,1982) of the McHenry County board, to including Chicago and Cook County. "I see the reasoning on both sides," Janishewski said. "Administratively, it makes sense to have one metropolitan agency to share staff and cut down on duplication. "On the other hand, there is a big difference in character from the city of Chicago to the suburbs out here, and maybe there should be an independent agency or just one for the collar counties only," ne said. "Then there are always the realities of the political situation. Some people fear that problems out here wouldn't get their fare share of attention." While the HSA-KLM board directed the necessary paperwork for the plan be initiated, President Mary Barb Johnson appointed a committee to meet with the McHenry , Lake and Kane county boards to consider how the collar counties might "stay free" of Chicago and Cook county. The committee includes county board members Paul Fidler of McHenry and George Lowe Jr. of Cary^ who oppose the Chicago connection. "If we go in with Chicago, the mayor will get something like 24 appointments to the board," Lowe said. "From experience with NIPC (Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission) and the RTA, we all know what that means. Whatever we get, we won't like it. "I've been trying to do something with them (HSA-KLM officials) to see if we can come up with some local funding, but I haven't gotten anywhere," Lowe added. "It's like they have blinders on, and they just / look toward the city <rf Chicago. If the feds could fund something for the whole metropolitan area, why couldn't they fund something for just the suburbs?" Whatever plan is adopted, Fidler said it would have to be financed with federal monev because he doesn't think local funding is a feasible alternative. Fidler said he would be amenable to an agency for the collar counties, but he opposes any plan involving Chicago ana suburban Cook county. "As I see it, the merger (with Chicago and Code county) would be an fo exercise in futility for people in the collar counties. Our participation would be ineffective because we wouldn't be able to take care of our local needs, and it would be a situation similar to what we have with the RTA," Fidler said. "I think the Health Systems agency has done some fine things for Kane, Lake and McHenry counties because the board is close to the situation, and they know what the needs and problems are." A 30-member board of directors governs the HSA-KLM, with 12 representativesfrom Lake county, 10 for Kane and eight for McHenry. The initial proposal calls for a new 60-member board comprised of 24 representatives from Chicago, 24 from suburban Cook and DuPage and 12 from Kane, Lake and McHenry counties. Janishewski said the tn- counties of Kane, Lake and McHenry would havevl3 percent of the total population but 20 percent representation on the board. Janishewski said it probably will be October before the HSA-KLM committee can make its report. Garden Clubs Present Shows On Friday, Sept. 17, from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. the five Garden clubs of Crystal Lake will jointly present their flower show, "The Last Song of Summer" at the Crystal Lake Main Beach house, 300 Lake Shore drive.

Sauk Chapter Joins I AAA The Sauk Trail chapter (McHenry county) of the Illinois Association for the Advancement of Archaeology held its quarterly meeting recently at the McHenry County Conservation district headquarters, north of Ringwood. President Nancy Marcotte of Wonder Lake announced the chapter istftov Officially it member chapter of the IAAA. She also reported on the success of the member volunteer program which is aiding in an ar chaeological survey of the Con servation district's Coral Woods property near Marengo. Time still remains for interested members to work on the survey party. The membership accepted a proposal by Craig Pfannkuche to oversee the publication of an annual report of the society's activities as well as articles on archaeological topics and travels by members and, space permitting, non-members. The membership also approved a motion made-by Everett Thomas to send a letter to the McHenry County Historical society offering its help and expertise ijg the display and use of the archaeological material held by the Historical society at Union. Following the business portion of the meeting, a fine presentation was made to members and guests by Richard Wagner of Marengo, who has collected numerous artifacts of ar chaeological significance in the Marengo area. Because of what geologists call a large "Kettle" in the area, ^Wagner has been able to discover artifacts plowed up from lower soil levels ranging in time from Paleo Indians of 9000 B.C. who hunted prehistoric elephants with spears to late Woodland and Mississippian era Indian groups. He displayed and discussed beautifully formed spear heads, arrow points, and axe heads to illustrate the technology available to the Indians in each period of Indian occupation of the Marengo area. Wagner fielded numerous questions from the audience with skill and a technical discussion of stone an nealing and pressure flaking techniques followed. The next quarterly meeting of the Sauk Trail chapter will be held Nov. 20. at 10 a.m. at the McHenry County Conservation district headquarters, 6512 Harts road, off Route 31, north of Ringwood.
