Since the 1985 Fiesta Days proved that Petersen Park is an ideal location for this annual festival as well as many other events the city or community may choose to sponsor, it became apparent that a per- menant stage should be built. In keeping with the lakefront setting at Petersen Beach, it was determined that the natural flow of the land should be maintained. Overhead protection can be accomplished with temporary canvas cover.

At the MPOA's quarterly meeting in Wonder Lake, Jack Crawford, chairman of the lake committee, reported that 40 stumps and other obstacles were removed from the shoreline of Wonder Lake during the annual lake drawdown in late April and early May. The stumps had previously caused hazards for passing boats and now, Crawford said, boats will have easier access to docks. Crawford acknowledged the help of members of the Wonder Lake Sportsman's club and several other volunteers who helped in the stump removal. Crawford also reported that the lake committee's con­ sideration of building up O'Brien's Island with silt from dredging have been temporarily put on hold. The lake committee had considered building up the old island with dredged silt. The island is under water, and marked at both ends to alert boaters. A representative of a group of Wonder Lake residents delivered a petition, signed by 82 residents, to MPOA directors asking that the dredging material be removed completely from the island. Several residents complained that the new-formed island would block their view of the lake. "No action will be pursued without the knowledge and consensus of residents concerned," Crawford said. "They (Army Corps of Engineers) can tell us where not to put it (silt), but tney can't tell us where to put it." Frank Higgins, representing the MPOA on the Illinois Association of Lake Communities (ILAC), reported that two bills that are to be considered by both houses of the Illinois legislature would, if passed, allow Wonder Lake's dam to stand without additional repairs. Higgins said the bills submitted by IALC, HB 188 and SB 291, would allow the Wonder Lake dam to pass under a grandfather clause. "The bill would grandfather in existing dams that are in good repair. It's like buying a house that was built 20 years ago, and then having someone come in and say you have to rebuild it to meet new standards," Higgins said. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) had tried to pursuade IALC to withdraw the bill with a com­ promise to reduce dam standards from 100 percent of maximum probable flood (MPF) to 60 percent. Higgins said IALC rejected the compromise. Higgins asked MPOA directors to instruct Wonder Lake residents to begin a letter-writing campaign to state 'legislators asking for support of the bills. The legislature must act on the bills before July 1. MPOA calendar committee chairman Ed McMahon also reported that, to date, 2,500 calendars have been sold, ratting about $55,000 for the lake clean-up projects. Mc­ Mahon said, witn several new incentives and word of QKMith, they could double or triple that figure next year. The 1986 calendars will be available in October, he said. "Hopefully the sod will take quickly and the stage will look very finished for the concert which will precede the Fireworks of July 4," said Pete Merkel, Fiesta Days board member. Beaches safe for swimming Water samples taken from swimming beaches by the McHenry County Department of Health on June 3 resulted in no poor readings. Tests were made at several beaches and lakes in the county, and none were unsatisfactory. The health department does, however, recommend that persons refrain from swimming for two to three days following a heavy rain. participating in the 1985 beach Alan Miller of McHenry Sand and Gravel and Pete Merkel, Fiesta sampling program will have a Days Board Member and Stage Chairman, participate in the sign posted at the beach in- inauguration of the completed stage at Petersen Park.
