SECTION 2 • PAGE 8 - PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 8#, 1963 r. ̂ w general News Committee criticism in complex lake improvement MCC seminar to help those coping with the holiday blues The holidays are advertised as a time of cheer and "good will toward man"- If, for one reason or another anyone has trouble dealing with the holiday season, he is encouraged to sign up for one of McHenry County College Counselor Cathy Bolger's seminars on "Coping With The Holiday Blues". Ms. Bolger will focus on the clarification of expectations and encourage participants to share their feelings. Through these ^neans it is hoped that coping (skills will be developed. Sessions of *'Coping With The Holiday Blues1' are planned for Monday, Dec. 5, 6:30-8 p.m., and Tuesday, Dec. 6, 12:30-2 p.m. Both seminars meet in room 143 of the Main Hall building on MCC campus, Route 14 and Lucas Road. There is no charge for par­ ticipation, but it is necessary to register in advance. The college registration office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30a.m. to4:30p.m. and5:30to 8:30 p.m., and on Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. FREE PAIt SUNGtASSES WITH LENS PURCHASE BAUSCH & LOMB $ O Q S O F T L E N S E S ONLY With this ad only by Kurt Begalka law-Free Press News Service riunteers serving on the Wonder Lake Master Property Owners Association's Lake Committee have come under fire for recommending a silt basin before studying all the facts. "I certainly realize the whole problem needs study," committee member Joanne Heinly said. She acknowledged the recommendation to call in an engineer was "hindsight," and the recommendation before the master association in September "was presented somewhat incompletely." Regardless, she is pleased with the progress the committee has made "I think the motivation was honest. We were trying to get something started, something concrete; get the ball rolling," Heinly said. As the committee members became involved, it became increasingly clear the process was more complex than first outlined by contractor William Walters. Master President Ed Beard outlined a three-prong project: up-stream watershed management, developing some sort of silt basin where the Nippersink Creek enters the lake and the disposal of accumulated silt presently within the lake. "They want to do a good job," IDOT engineer Pat Brady said. "They want to do a job beneficial to the area." Aerial photos of the project will be taken as well, although Lake Committee Chairman Jack Crawford could not say what kind of cost is involved.-- "It has only been four m o n t h s , ' ' C r a w f o r d acknowledged. The committee attempted to go without an engineer as a cost-saving measure, he said. "We tried to use the expertise of different departments we pay high taxes to.". The studies weren't forthcoming, so they plan on getting their own engineer from the same firm that did the Wonder Lake Dam studies. Dan Lau, water resources engineer with Donohue & Associates, Inc. of Waukesha, WI, said he knows sediment basins work but several factors must be studied before he can say the proposed basin in the Nippersink Creek will be effective. Rainfall patterns, flow rates and the size of the particles being carried downstream must be determined, Lau said. Smaller particles require a larger a basin. Lau said that he is uncertain how much such an engineering study would cost. However, if the master association decides to proceed it might encounter savings in another area-the dam. Beard said that there is a possibility the upstream face of the dam could use riprap instead of gabbions (large cages filled with stone) to protect it in case of a flood. Lau acknowledged it may be less expensive than the estimated $400,000 required for gabbions. It would depend on the availability of concrete; its composition and its size. Crawford said the the size of the basin, located west of the Thompson Road bridge may be increased from 100 feet long to 706 feet. Rather than 10 feet deep, a depth of 20 feet is being considered. The price will not go up, Crawford assured those gathered at special MPOA directors meeting Monday. It remains $18,000. Beside the silt basin, the creek will be deepened to five feet east of the bridge. The west bay also will be dredged. Brady, who is in charge of reviewing the construction permit, said the spoil material may remain in4he floodplain for up to a year to dry out. He has requested that the master association determine locations for the temporary and permanent silt disposal sites.
