"RED TAPE" SLOWS COUNCIL'S GRA REQUEST FOR POO (Continued from page 1) One facet of the federal standards that could affect McHenry would be affirmative action. The local minority ratio or mix of local construction crews might not be high enough to meet federal criteria and an outside company might have to do the work. The minority mix may not come from the city or county in which the work is done and may depend upon the nature of the work done and the size of the crew, Fiske said. Fiske said that if the grant was for less than $10,000, the City would not have to adhere to the federal fair trade laws. Alderman Schooley suggested that the preliminary paperwork for the grant should be completed and/sent in, but not for the pool. Grant money could be applied to things such as a parking lot, a building with showers, bathrooms, offices, a possible tow ropfc/ for tobogganers in the winter; etc.~ anything that has to <h\ with park development. Bob Mortell, chairman of a committee that studied the recreational needs of the City, recommended that a 50-meter pool be built. Mortell said that every contractor, except Jensen, that they talked to said to build a 50- meter pool. A pool that size is not too common and most are about 25 meters, according to Jensen. Some Council members were unconvinced that a 25-meter pool, about 80 feet long, would be big enough to meet the demand. There was some discussion over the possibility of making the pool an in between size, 35 or 40 meters, but no definitive guidelines were set. Alderman Pepping suggested that one pool, 25 meters long, be built now and then as the City grows, and the demand in­ creases, build another on the opposite side of town. ' s. Mayor Stanek favor of putting the pool in Knox park, on the south side of the City, because a pool in Petersen park, as Alderman Schooley wanted, would result in com­ peting recreational facilities, the pool vs. the lake, and that "the south side needs, something too." Alderman Wieser advocated taking . some time to study where growth in the City is going to be and where the people want the park. Stanek said thai there was no more time to make a Mill! 1. ft will go along with the Councfl,. if the Council will decide uffeat it wants," Alderman Schooley said. Those decisions-first the grants yes or no, pool included or not; and second, the pool: where and how big-was scheduled to be decided at the this week's regular Citygg Council meeting REMEMBER Shopping Close To Home Is EasyOn The Gas I i Commons Optical O P E N J U L V 2 4.T W Mu St (815)344 3900 312)2230020 ffimpiicifi/ SNOWBUSTER 220 Order now and pick up your Snowbuster 220 in the fall...in plenty of time to beat next winter's snows!

"The Eskimos carve bricks (Hit of the snow with knives for their igloos," he said. Matt said that some of the igloos are big enough to house 30 people. "But it was the emptiness, the nothingness, that fascinated me," he said. •» When asked if he would do it all over again, he answered, "without hesitation." "Every job is unique," he said, "I learn somethong dif­ ferent, something new on every one." "On my first trip into the South American jungle^ we paddled 1,200 miles in a dugout canoe. Forty days of insects, snakes, crocodiles and heat. Fortunately, on the way back we had an outboard motor- you learn these things," he said. * It's "hugely satisfying" to come back and view the pic­ tures and the movies, he said. '.'Photography is the only way I can do these things," he said, "it lets me express myself." Matt likened creativity in photography to painting. "The money ain't bad either," he said with a grin, "I'd have had to be a multi­ millionaire to do the things I've done." He said people are always asking him if they should go into photography for a living. "I say if you're prepared to work damn hard to master the mechanical end of it and then even harder to develop the creative end, it can be very rewarding." "Photography is 90 percent sweat and 10 percent mental, he said, "you have to be prepared to freeze one day and sweat the next." But, after all he has done- crossing the Atlantic with an outboard motor, four major Peruvian expeditions, coun­ tless films, the polar trek, to name a few things-- Matt said, "Of all the places I've been in the world, I want to live in McHenry."

Rfv. 120, McHenry, Illinois 2 Block* West of McHenry Mork«t Ploce Shopping Center NO CRUDE, NO FOOD BY RONALD REAGAN Nigeria would cut off our oil if we lifted sanctions against Zimbabwe Rhodesia. That was the news item and the threat was apparently a good part of the reasoning behind President Carter's decision to maintain the sanctions, despite strong Senate sentiment to lift them.. How important is Nigeria to us^and do w@> really need to submit to crude oil blackmail? About 16 percent of our crude comes from that large African country nowadays. If we thought the interruption of Iranian supplies caused problems (Iran had supplied about 5 percent of our needs before the revolution) we ain't seen nothin' yet, as the saying goes. But let us say that the tide of public opinion can't be stopped and, in fairness, the sanctions are soon lifted despite those threats. (After all, the Rhodesian election was at least 100 percent more free and fair than most in Africa.) At the • same time, let us say that Nigeria makes good its threat and cuts off the oil. So far, so - bad. But, there is more to the Nigerian picture than meets the eye. According to the latest (April) edition of "Foreign Economic Trends and Their impiicationj^ for the United States" on 'Nigeria - prepared by the U.S. embassy in that country's capital., Lagos .-- "Nigeria experienced a serious recession in 1978, due to lower oil production and marginal growth in the agricultural sector^y .Nigeria's Gross Domestic Product for 1978 was an estimated $27 billion, about „the same as Taiwan's (which achieved it with one-fifth the population). Nigeria's GDP per capita was only $331. r A s a r e s u l t o f t h e r e c e s s i o n , according to the U.S. govern­ ment report, Nigeria tightened the money supply, cut down on imports and reduced public spending, especially on major c o n s t r u c t i o n p r o j e c t s . Manufacturers, with iriiported raw materials unavailable or in short supply, laid off workers, thus aggravating the situation. Though oil production is on the upswing now, the drop in oil revenues last year caused Nigeria to go to the Eurodollar for two big loans, $1 billion and $750 million. Pressure to keep up the payments on these loans will figure in any Nigerian economic planning. With nearly 82 million people, Nigeria is a big consumer of food; however, its agricultural production has scarcely grown at all in recent years. Last year, Nigeria imported $1.5 billion of food, 20 percent of it from the U.S., mostly wheat and rice. It is the fact which may be the silver lining in that dark cloud of threatend oil cutoffs. While the popular slogans "no crude, no food" and "a barrel for a bushel" do not translate into practical realities in global terms, they just might do so in individual cases such as this one. In addition to needing to feed its people, Nigeria is anxious to r e v i v e i t s a g r i c u l t u r e a n d expand it so as to become self- sufficient. To do that requires equipment and know-how that can best be supplied by the United states. So, how about some quiet diplomatic counter- pressure, using our agricultural leverage to blunt the threat of oil cutoffs? Oil and grain could continue to flow and we would have removed an u n w a r r a n t e d o b s t a c l e f r o m giving the moderate, democratic new black government of Zimbabwe Rhodesia a chance to have its place in the suh. 25,000 BEES TO MCC - Charles Balfanz, Barrlngton, delivered approximately 25,000 honey bees to McHenry County college last week. MCC has had five hives and equipment given by Rudy Bryant, McHenry, and Balfanz stocked the hives with established bees and their brood from his own 40 hives. Balfanz is a deputy apiary inspector for the Illinois Department of agriculture. All beekeepiers must be registered with the state and hives are inspected periodically for disease. McHenry County college will utilize the bees and hives in their agriculture classes which will / include studies on establishment, care and management of bees/ and marketing of honey. Balfanz is a member of the Illinois Beekeepers' association which is co-sponsoring an all-day seminar on bees and beekeeping with the college Saturday, July 14.
