REFERENDA WIN continued from page 1 Seith, 2,623, and Roland Burris, state comptroller, 702. McHenry County voters failed to follow the state trend which favored Walter Mondale. In the county Mondale trailed Gary Hart with votes of 4,596 for Hart and 3,311 for the state favorite. Iii the race on the GOP ticket for delegates to the national nominating convention, Bernard Narusis, McHenry city attorney, was one of four winners. On the Democratic side, William J. Bolger and his son, Murray Bolger, lost bids for delegate and alternate, respectively, on a district-wide basis. They were running in a large field of contenders. Waste market gives promise of savings By Angela Burden Plaindealer News Service If a compost market could be developed in McHenry County, in addition to saving landfill space, it could also save thousands of tons of top soil eroding from farmland. Alice Howenstfhe presented an informational report on ideas for developing compost markets at the county's Waste Study Advisory Committee meeting held last week. Ms. Howenstine, a committee member, recently returned from a Minnesota conference dealing with waste management options. She said it was em­ phasized at the seminar that there is no single approach to managing waste. The five points touched on at the two-day meeting in Min­ nesota on management of waste, she explained, were waste reduction, recycling, com­ posting, incinerating and land­ fill. Ms. Howenstine said, in that state, compost markets are developing more readily than many other markets. She told the committee that the McHenry County Soil and Water Con­ servation District is working on a program with the use of compost. "Compost could be utilized in the county to cut down on erosion," Ms. Howenstine said. She explained that several tons of topsoil in the county is lost to erosion per acre each year. Ms. Howenstine noted there is also some prospect of energy markets through the sale of shredded and compressed solid wastes. She reported on a recent trip by committee members to the Chrysler Plant in Belvidere, where she said the group "came away with some worthwhile information gleaned from an expert who has worked with refuse-derived fuel." Ms. Howenstine and Ike Bitton of the committee, with Public Health Administrator Richard Wissell, who serves as a technical advisor to, the com­ mittee, visited the automobile manufacturing plant last week to meet its chief powerhouse engineer A1 Henry. The plant, located on 60 acres, employs 5,000 people, and has monthly utility bills totaling in excess of one million dollars, Ms. Howenstine reported. She said the purpose of the visit was two-fold. One was to find out Chrysler's experience with refused-derived fuel (RDF) and the second was to discern if the plant would be a possible present-day market for RDF. Currently the plant's furnaces are 100 percent coal-fueled. However, Howenstine indicated to the committee, there is a possibility of a RDF market at the plant in future years, if the price is competitive. The Waste Study Advisory Committee was appointed by McHenry County Board early this year to aid in the com- pletetion of a Total Waste Management Study for McHenry County. The group is currently working, with engineering consultants, on Phase in of the study, which had been placed on the county's "back burner" until the September 20, 1983, landfill site application was filed by Waste Management of Illinois Inc. The application has since been withdrawn, but the county board decided Phase III of the study, on solid wastes, should now be completed. The Phase I study dealt with the current waste generated in the county and disposal prac­ tices here, and Phase n, com­ pleted in 1982, an assessment of septage disposal alternatives, investigated the present practices and future disposal methods for septage in the county. Farm Bureau to tap area farmers for views Farmers in McHenry County will be asked to give their views on a variety of issues during the next two weeks as the McHenry County Farm Bureau's legislative committee launches its Policy Development program. Clifford Simons, Marengo farmer who is chairman of the committee, said a questionnaire is being mailed to farmers with the response requested by April 10. The committee meets April 18 to go over the responses after Farm Bureau staff members have tabulated the information. "Policy development if Farm Bureau's way of learning the views of members so that these views can be presented to all members for consideration as official policy," said Simons. "On state and local issues, we send the policies adopted to the Illinois Farm Bureau where those voting delegates act on the resolutions sent them from County Farm Bureaus. "Policies that concern local issues are acted on by our county Farm Bureau board and staff." Simons said the questionnaire is based, in part, on matters the legislative committee believes are important, but he stressed that farmers are asked to comment on any issue of con­ cern to them. "We expect to pick Voter turnout McHenry County voters cast 31,129 votes in Tuesday's primary, about 42 percent of the registered voters in the county. "I was very happy with the course of everything all day," County Clerk Rosemary Azzaro said. "These were high totals for a primary." Voter turnout usually averages about 25 percent, she added. Not including referenda, 29.7 percent of the registered voters cast party ballots. The whole election saw 42.2 percent of the electorate vote, including the vote for referendums in Woodstock, McHenry and Richmond. Azzaro said the computers functioned smoothly and that she was happy with the entire operation.

Handling waste disposal in McHenry County has been an issue for many months, dating back several years to discussions about a landfill on Route 47, four miles north of Woodstock. Development of a 1985 national farm bill is necessary since the present law expires in 1984. Simons said the committee welcomes ideas on this issue. At the Illinois Farm Bureau con­ vention last December, Farm Bureau support of political candidates was discussed. The issue was a hot one, and a compromise was reached that left supporters of endorsement and financial support frustrated. The committee wants to know the views of McHenry county farmers on endorsement and-or financial support of political candidiates. Members of the committee include Cliff Simons, chairman, Marengo; Elmer Hill, Union; Mel Von Bergen, Hebron; Robert Dodson, Harvard; A1 Swanson, Woodstock; Bill Olbrich, Harvard; David Adams, McHenry; Floyd Seeman, Coral; Ann Hughes, Woodstock; Dave Gardner, Solon Mills; and Rob Richard­ son, Spring Grove.
