Cut into desired shapes. Insert wire in soft clay for hanging. , . ...Let the designs harden overnight; thick designs may need more time. Drying time can be shortened by heating objects in a preheated 250 degree F oven Id** 15 minutes. If not fully dry, continue to heat in 5-minute increments. ...If desired, paint pieces after they have hardened with water colors, poster paints, nail polish or colored felt tip pens. ...Coat painted pieces with clear varnish or clear nail polish so they'll last for years. ...For three-dimensional ornaments, start with a hunk of clay and mold freehand into a ball or teardrops 2 inches in diameter. Roll in glitter or press colored string into the soft or­ nament. ...To make candlesticks, in­ sert a candle in the soft clay to form a hole. Remove and let clay dry before finishing.

McHenry Nautilus HEALTH & FITNESS CLUB \V By Ken Wysocky Shaw Free Press News Service A work plan for McHenry County's Phase III Total Waste Study, generally outlining how McHenry County's waste problems will be evaluated, was unanimously approved by members of the county's Waste Study Advisory Committee. Committee members also elected Ike Bitton, Woodstock, as chairman of the committee ; Greg Lindsey, Crystal Lake, as vice-chairman; and Kathy Schaid, Crystal Lake, as secretary. The committee's recom­ mendations will be forwarded to the county's health and agriculture committee for review^ and revisions, if necessary. The health and agriculture committee will then make recommendations to the county board for approval. The plan that was approved by the committee was drawn up by a subcommittee composed of six members of the 15-member advisory panel, according to Lindsey. The subcommittee also for­ mulated a flow chart showing how the waste study committee, the county board, the health and agriculture committee, county staff and the county's engineering consultant will inter-relate and exchange in­ formation during the course of the committee's work. The report notes that the initial task of the committee is to review Phase I and n for a re­ examination of the county's waste problems. "It is the consensus of the committee that factors con­ cerning waste management have changed, and that the problem of solid waste disposal is equally as serious as that of septage disposal," the report said. Phase I had determined that septage disposal was the county's primary waste disposal concern. Changes in the enforcement of state statutes regarding dum­ ping of septage has relieved the short-term problem of septage State offices to be j / closed both holidays All Secretary of State offices and facilities will be closed for Christmas and New Year's, Secretary of State Jim Edgar has announced. Downstate driver services facilities outside Cook County will be closed Saturday, Dec. 24, and Saturday, Dec. 31, and will reopen Tuesday, Dec. 27 and Tuesday, Jan. 3. All other offices and facilities will be closed Monday, Dec. 26, and Monday, Jan. 2, and will resume business Tuesday, Dec. 27 and Tuesday, Jan. 3. Edgar also reminded Illinois motorists that midnight Saturday, Dec. 31, is the deadline to display 1984 ex­ piration stickers on company- owned and leased passenger cars, and motorcycles and mopeds, and 1984 miscellaneous calendar and two-year license s r t f c o l f t ! by mail to or plates by the dis deadline, many of the stickers and plates may be purchased over the counter. C o m p a n y - o w n e d a n d motorcycle and moped stickers are available at Secretary of State facilities in Springfield and Chicago, and at 1,400 financial institutions, including *-- 617 banks, 180 savings and loan associations, 16 credit unions and about 600 Chicago area currency exchanges. , Leased stickers-are-available only at the Springfield office, three major Chicago facilities and the walk-in facility (for 10 applications or less)" at 157 N. Wells in Chicago. Effective Sunday, Jan. 1, anyone driving one of the above vehicles with an expired orange, December, 1983 sticker will be subject to a fine for improper registration. Edgar said that annual recreational vehicle and trailer plates may be purchased at Secretary of State facilities in Springfield and Chicago. j Annual plates for commuter vans and fertilizer spreaders and two-year plates for antique vehicles, electric vehicles and CTfl!W|>le Ofify at the Cerft#inial Building in Springfield. The deadline to display 1984 calendar-year Illinois ap­ portionment plates on trucks, truck tractors, semi-trailers and trailers under the International Registration Plan (IRP), and prorate base plates and decals, has been extended to midnight, Feb. 29. 1984. disposal, but not the long-range problem, county health department Director Dick Wissell said. "Solid Waste disposal is a more immediate problem now," Wissell noted. The committee also em­ phasized that an en­ vironmentally-sound capacity for treatment and disposal of wastes should be accepted by the county as its major premise for waste disposal planning. Committee members agreed that the adopted plan was not "etched in stone." There is room for flexibility as the committee's work progresses, health and agriculture committee Chair­ woman Ann Hughes said. "We don't have to worry about dotting our 'i's and crossing our 't's," Ms. Hughes said, noting that the plan, as adopted, is serving as a starting point for the committee. More detailed planning will evolve after meeting with the health and agriculture < committee, the county staff and the engineering counsultanj. Ms. Hughes explained that the committee's role will be ad­ visory. At the conclusion of the study, the committee will evaluate the report and give its recommendation to the health and agriculture committee, which will review it and pre sent its recommendation to the county board for consideration. Formation of the committee was approved by the county board on Oct. 18 The work plan was broken down into , three sections - existing conditions of the county's waste situation, waste management alternatives and implementation of a waste disposal system. Ms. Hughes noted that the committee's $30,000 budget will somewhat limit the amount of work the committee will be able to realistically accomplish. For that reason, and because the committee is composed of people representing various segments of the county's waste disposal interests, it' was recommended that the county's consultant not perform that research. Instead, the committee will divide • into subcommittees - one for each of the six points outlined under existing con­ ditions - and do the research, which will largely involve up­ dating the county's Phase I and II reports, Lindsey noted. That way, no county funds will need to be allocated for the first third of the study. < "Maximum use should be made of material already McHenry Country Club WINTER SCHEDULE fRIDAY...DEC. 23 NO PISli FRY...OPEN MENU SATURDAY...DEC. 24 CLOSED CHRISTMAS EVE AT 5PM All facilities of McHENRY STATE BANK will be CLOSED Monday December 26. 1983 in Celebration of McHENRY STATE BANK PTSTM" •BT.igl SUNDAY &MON...DEC. 25* CLOSED...MERRY CHRISTMAS TUESDAY...DEC. 27 REOPENED...REGULAR HOURS - ERIDAY...DEC. 30 NOflSH ERY...OPEN MENU SATURDAY...DEC. 31 NEW YEAR'S EVE...CLOSED 3PM •CLOSED JAN. 1 THRU JAN. 19 , •WILL REOPEN ERI., JAN. 20 820 N.

The six points to be studied by the subcommittees will be an inventory of the existing county waste disposal system; an assessment of waste quantities; a determination of waste characteristics; an estimate of future waste quantities; - a determination of markets for recovered resources; and an inventory of potential locations for waste disposal sites. Committee representatives from the waste hauling and disposal, septage hauling and recycling industries can provide adequate data for an inventory of the county's existing waste disposal system, according to the report. A determination of waste quantities can also be compiled by those committee members and waste charac­ teristics can be computed from existing data, according to the plan. Estimates of future waste quantities will be determined by studying reports from the Northern Illinois Planning Commission, county planners and a report from the Northwest Municipal ' Conference, a coalition of more than 20 Chicago suburbs. Most of the information needed to determine the markets for recovered resources is readily available. The county's Economic Development Committee could be used to identify markets for refuse-derived fuel and major energy users, according to the report. Subcommittee work is ex­ pected to be completed by Feb. 1, at which time work on alternative solutions can start, the report noted. The Phase I study, completed in 1981, studied waste management in general and determined that septage -- at that time -- was the county's primary waste concern. Ph&se n, completed during 1982, ad­ dressed the severity of the septage disposal problem. Phase m was not started due to lack of funds and other county priorities for the county plat review committee. However, the closing of Antioch landfill -- to which majority of the county's wi were being transported combined with the application] for a sanitary landfill site by the] Oak * Brook-based Waste Management Inc., spurred reauthorization of the Phase m study and the formation of the citizen's advisory committee. Waste Management withdrew itfc. application on Nov. 1 in favor of letting the county complete its Phase m study and make recommendations outlining its waste disposal needs. woods 1 o( K 1 MI \ 1 m M \ | N s | | { | | I 1 1 1 n 1 4 M I I hi «111. i r «• \ < l u h s ' 2 .
