By Angela Burden Plalndealer News Service McHenry County Auditor A1 Jourdan disputes a union- financed study that says Reagan administration budget cuts could cost McHenry County $44.1 million and Illinois $4.6 billion in the president's first term. Hie study was released last week by the Illinois unit of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Em­ ployees, which is backing Reagan's Democratic rival, Walter Mondale. Union officials said the report shows federal budget cuts "have shattered the social 'safety net"' in Illinois, and warned those cuts would seem like "a drop in the bucket" if the president wins a second term.

Jourdan agreed with state budget director Robert Man- deville who challenged the study's contention that federal aid to Illinois has decreased. According to an Associated Press report, Mandeville said lie was "not sure that the report has demonstrated that the citizens of Illinois are any worse off." The study's figures are based on a projection of how much money individuals and govern­ ment units would have received if the Carter administration's 1981 spending policies were continued through fiscal 1965. The study takes those estimates and subtracts the actual amount budgeted by the Reagan administration to come up with the amount lost to Illinois as a result of spending cuts. Those losses were pegged at $4-6 billion, including a projected $1.5 billion for fiscal 1985. Mandeville said federal aid to Illinois has increased under Reagan, to fc projected $3.54 billion in fiscal 1965 from $2.79 billion in 1982. He acknowledged, however, that those figures are not adjusted for inflation, and that much of the increase has come in transportation programs funded by the nickel-a-gallon increase in the federal gasoline tax.

Carey Building: Richmond Road at Pearl Street Robert L. Weber Building:Crystal Lake Road and Lillian Street McHenry 385-1040 MSMtER FDIC Mandeville also said if the federal government maintained for all states the aid levels projected in the study, the federal deficit would grow by as much as $100 billion. "Federal spending comes from taxpayers' pockets," he said. "If you spend more money, you're going to have one of two results -- either higher federal deficits or more taxes." "They (AFSCME) are playing politics with numbers," Jourdan said after looking over the study. "They're comparing different sets of numbers," he added. Governor James Thompson, Reagan's Illinois campaign chairman, called the study "a crock," according to reports. Jourdan, who serves on Reagan's state campaign committee as an adviser, said the release of the study now was a political move. According to the AFSCME report, McHenry County stands to lose $44.1 million over the four years of the Reagan ad­ ministration if the president's budget proposals for the fiscal year 1985 are enacted. This amounts to a loss of $298.24 for every McHenry County resident. The report, "Illinois and the Reagan Years: A County Hay- County Analysis of Social Spending Cuts," is the first comprehensive program-by- program analysis of four years of actual and projected budget cuts on Illinois counties. It encompasses all categories of federal grants-in-aid to state and local governments, in­ cluding education, employment and training, health services, and infrastructure and economic development. McHenry County has been particularly hard hit in several areas," according to AFSCME I n t e r n a t i o n a l U n i o n Representative Christine George. "It is among the top 10 Illinois counties in dollars per- capita reductions." Section added to MCC class on horses A second section has been opened up of the Horse Production Management course being offered for the first time this fall at McHenry County College. It meets Wednesday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. beginning Aug. 29. The course involves 16 weeks of intensive study of the horse and the horse industry. Em­ phasis will be placed on anatomy and physiology, selection, breeding, nutrition, growth, health, sanitation, product quality, marketing and cost analysis. The instructor will be Joe Victor, MCC Agriculture Program Coordinator, who has initiated this course because of need expressed by area residents. McHenry County ranks second in the nation in horse population density. Also instrumental in the decision were his own love of horses and desire to increase the quality of care the horse population receives. Keeping a horse at its peak level of health and fitness is no easy task. Did you know there is no way for any animal to depend on pasture for food and achieve optimum efficiency? That poorly groomed hooves can permanently damage a horse's legs? That horses should not be ridden until age three, four or five, depending on the breed? That the wrong bit can damage a horse both physically and emotionally? There is much to learn. Anyone who owns a horse, is thinking of buying one, cares for one, or is otherwise interested in the animal could derive benefit from taking this course. At present, the course's three credit-hours cannot be applied toward a degree or certificate, but Victor hopes to establish a one-year certificate or two-year program in the future. Registrations will be accepted in MCC's Registration office while openings exist in the Wednesday afternoon section. The course will not be offered again until next fall. Registration is open Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. and 5:30-8:30 p.m., as well as 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday.
