PAGE 19-PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1972 Township Officials In Convention ALASKAN WOLF JETHRO McHenry Area Schools View Alaskan Wolf John Harris, president of the NAAPPA (North American Association Preservation of Predatory Animals) wfll ap­ pear with his Alaskan Wolf, Jethro, on Oct. 24, 25, 26, in the McHenry elementary and junior high schools and Johnsburg schools. On Tuesday, Oct. 24, he will be at the Johnsburg junior high school from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.; at the Johnsburg elementary 10 to 11 a.m.; at Landmark school, 1 p.m! to 1:45 p.m. and at Hilltop, 2 to 2:45 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 25, Harris will appear at Valley View school from 1 to 1:45 p.m. and Parkland, 2 to 2:45 p.m. On Thursday, Oct. 26, he will be at Edgebrook school from 9 a m to 9:45 and McHenry Junior high from 10 o'clock until 10:45. In the evening he will give a program at the Crystal Lake Nature center from 7 until 9. In the nine years Harris has been raising wolves from pups to maturity, he has won the admiration of educators and animal behaviorists. While the casual observer might classify him as an eccentric, Harris is more correctly an iconoclast who has turned his preoc­ cupation and love for wolves into a scientific study of their behaviour, patterns, dislikes and inclinations-learning more about them than most people know of the people next door. Jethro is a mature Canadian timber wolf which is neither domesticated nor wild, ' but somewhere in between. He eats 3'a pounds of chicken every day. He is untrained and essentially wild although friendly as a house dog. Wolves cannot be trained or even housebroken. They are on leashes because they will not come back when they are called. They are their own proud masters and do not answer to any man. Wolves may live for 18 or 20 years. Even if the wolf has no direct beneficial use to man, Harris questions the wisdom of not providing for his preservation along with the other threatened species found more aesthetically pleasing. Originally started as a hobby, Harris' preoccupation with wolves has become an all- consuming vocation. His goal of eliciting widespread sympathy for the plight of these and other threatened predators led to the formation of the North American Association for the Preservation of Predatory Animals, a non-profit, non- political organization with its national headquarters in California. Mrs. Karl Olsson of Ringwood is a member. New Officers Elected In Farm Bureau Two new officers were elected at the organization meeting ofthe McHenry County Farm Bureau board of directors last week. John Kooistra, Alden township farmer, was elected vice- president and Ron Hansen, Greenwood township farmer, was elected secretary. Two members who retired from the board had filled those offices, John Henning, Sr., Coral, and Don Justen, McHenry. Ervin Walters, Hebron, was elected president for his fifth year. James Book, Harvard, was reelected treasurer for the second year. Hansen operates a 290-acre dairy farm north of Woodstock. He joined Farm Bureau in 1950 when he began farming. His dairy herd includes forty-two cows and thirty heads of young livestock. Ron served on the ASC committee for several years. Kooistra operates a modern dairy farm in Alden township with his son, Joel. He has a 112- cow Holstein herd. His herd produces 15,000 pounds of milk per cow each year and has a herd average of 522 pounds of butterfat.

FEDERATION TO COORDINATE POLLUTION CONTROL (Continued from page 1) working on the Fox was repeatedly brought up. The new federation is a first step toward that difficult goal. Northeastedn Illinois Planning commission policy was defined by Tom Vick of NIPC's staff: Urban development shouldn't exceed natural resources. Vick said population density is a key issue in water quality control in McHenry and Lake counties, this area being full of land better suited for open space than urban development. Unless all elements of development are blended and coordinated, and inter- government action is achieved, prospects for the future look bleak, Vick said. James M. Maas of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers urged the group to ask, "What kind of tomorrow do we want to leave, instead of, how do we solve a specific problem?" He said the answer to this question drastically affects the type of program decided on. For example, are floods controlled structurally by dams, or by flood plain management? Wednesday's session of the symposium was concerned largely with problem solving approaches, while Tuesday's discussions had focused on defining the problems. A canoe's eye view of the Fox on slides was presented by Ralph C. Frese, Chicagoland Canoe base, during Tuesday morning's panel. In Frese's opinion, the Fox is the most diverse, the most beautiful, and most important river recreationally in the state of Illinois. Robert Layer told the symposium that Illinois has more miles of river boundaries than any state in the union. He outlined the Fox watershed, an area of 2,600 miles, one-third in Wisconsin, two-thirds in Illinois, and noted that the population centers in this area are almost all on the main stem Pistaqua Heights Plans Oct. 29 Party The Pistaqua Heights sub­ division Halloween party for subdivision children will be held Sunday, Oct. 29, from 2 to 4 o'clock at the recreation area. There will be prizes for costumes in three categories and one for the best decorated bicycle. The three age brackets are up to 6 years, 7 to 11, and 12 to 18. There will also be a prize for the most appropriately dressed adult. The committee is planning games and a supper. There will be a bag of trick-or-treats for each child. The purpose of the party is to replace the trick-or-treating as carried on in the past. Last year one child in the sub­ division received a needle in the candy.

There are nine' counties in the Illinois portion of the watershed, McHenry, Lake, Cook, DuPage, Kendall, DeKalb, Lee, and LaSalle. In Layer's opinion, a structural framework is neeeded to take care of any plans made for the watershed, as well as to represent the residents of the watershed. Wisconsin has such a structure for its Fox water­ shed, the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning commission. It has been in­ strumental in getting its four watershed counties to adopt floodland regulations, in order to preserve its wetlands for water storage in times of high water. Adoption of regulations by municipal sewage treat­ ment plants, to improve the quality of the effluent, is what SEWRPC is working for now, according to William McElwee, staff member of SEWRPC. Sources of pollution were outlined by a panel led by Robert J. Stein, M.D., pathologist at McHenry hospital. The environment's ability to heal itself, provided it is not overloaded with pollutants, was stressed by Illinois Water Survey chemist, Wm. J. Sullivan. He stated that it is the quantity of pollutants in one place at one time, not the fact that there are pollutants, which leads to the problem. Richard A. Wissell, M.P.H.: McHenry County Health department administrator, listed the sources of bac­ teriological pollution of the Fox. Main ones are inoperative private sewage treatment and septic fields in flood plains, as well as public treatment facilities which are inadequate. Robert Cheetham, geologist with the Wisconsin Soil Con­ servation Service, defined silt, and outlined problems it causes in waterways. Public health and law en­ forcement as it relates to the Fox river was conducted by a panel led by Wissell. Panelist Dr. Stein called on con­ servation groups to define what they are doing and what their special interests are. He ad­ vocates that conservation ef­ forts be classified as to whether they are for survival, of in­ dustrial resources, 1 for recreation, or for aesthetic value. John Raber, sanitarian for the McHenry County Health department, related some of his experiences in tracking down sources of pollution. Of the inoperable septic systems, he said, "We're getting them fixed, one at a time, as many as Paul McDonnell (McHenry county's other sanitarian) and I can handle. All I ask is, get us some help. Vote yes on Nov. 7." (He referred to the Health department referendum Nov. 7.) Sheriff Art Tyrrell, who aids the Health department in enforcement problems, and who has the responsibility of patroling thhe river, noted a common denominator in crime, narcotics and pollution COUNSELOR PROGRAM AT MCHS (Continued from page 1) substantiated by an enrollment projection. Noting that District 15 had rejected a transportation report, it was suggested that committees from the two boards meet to resolve any misunderstanding. Althoff admitted that the District 156 cost per student based on the 1971-72 Tran­ sportation Claim for Reim­ bursement was some higher than for the grade school. However, he pointed to the bus parking lot owned by District 156, where all busses are stored, and observed that it is virtually impossible to figure the exact amount expended by each district. Since the disparity in actual transportation costs between districts had previously been estimated only at about $500, Althoff said he would be satisfied if no exchange of money takes place. Supt. Richard Swantz ex­ plained the problem which exists at the East campus parking lot, where students have caused son^problem due to the fact that they have no place to gather during lunch and while awaiting buses. problems. He cited man's apathy toward his fellowman . as the common factor. A banquet was held for symposium speakers and guests. The speaker was a man who likes to fish. He is Eric R. Brown, M.D., who caught a cancerous fish in the Fox. Dr. Brown is a cancer specialist, and he began investigating the incidence of fish cancer and its health implications. Brown and his colleagues tested 4,639 fish in Canada, finding forty-eight with cancer tumors, and 2,121 in the Fox river, finding ninety- three with tumors. He blamed the cause of tumors specif icallv of Fox river pollution, saying, "Man himself is the reason for pollution. The environment alone has always contradicted pollution." Steps he cited for cleaning the river included stopping the boaters from dumping their wastes in the river, and cleaning up the septic systems, along with the gradual change and improvement in sewer systems. Louis Marchi, member McHenry County Defenders, summed up his feelings about the Fox in the closing session Wednesday afternoon. "When I hear the river described from an aerial view as a dirty brown ribbon, when I see pictures of tumors in fish, I know the river is trying to tell us something. 'I'm sick.' "Marchi added, "I want to help the river. I'm going to vote yes for the health department referendum Nov. 7, and I'm going to work to continue what's been started here today." DIVORCES Kenneth R.

(Just Across From Phone 120 McHENRY Foremost liquors) 385-4949 To alleviate the problem, the board approved grading and graveling an area directly south of the parking lot for students to board buses. The cost is expected to be between $700 and $800. Asked about possible repercussions on social promotion by a member of the press, Supt. Swantz explained that meetings had been held between grade and high school board members concerning the problem. In a book called "Performance Objectives", teachers compiled information stating expected achievements in courses at various times during the year. Supt. Swantz admitted that it is a big problem which the schools are trying to resolve. "We can't hold a youngster back if he fails", he observed, adding, "Where can he go?" Mrs. Katherine Alvary, a board member, expressed her opinion that a record is needed of those entering high school with low marks, some of whom show remarkable improvement in four years. In a discussion of the bills, Althoff questioned the amount of $110.50 for coffee for East campus and the central ad­ ministration office for one month. A check will be made to determine where such a large amount of coffee is being used. Approval was given to em­ ploying Gerry Becker and Anna M. Kopp as general aides at East campus. A resolution was passed, verifying completion of work at East campus outlined in the Health and Safety Code. Another resolution gave approval to application for the $1,000 grant authorized for each special education (SEDOM) professional worker in the district. The board approved the annual report and application for recognition to be submitted to the state. Because of inquiries received by building principals, ad­ ditions were made to the board ANNEXATION DISCUSSED BY CITY COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) field. With no parking lot in the skating area, the objectors reported unfavorably on the street congestion and scat­ tering of debris on lawns. Noise at hockey games and the report that children were deprived of recreational skating were also part of the complaint. The council recognized the com­ plaints as being valid and promised to correct the situation as best as possible this year and to seek a different location for ice hockey next year. Carmen Hodges distributed letters to the council members explaining the progress of the McHenry Rescue squad. In view of the service rendered by the organization, it was voted to contribute $500 toward the current fund drive. A big step was taken toward finalizing the sewer project, crosstown and Lakeland Park area, as the Council voted to advertise for bids to be opened at the Nov. 20 meeting. Three and one half hours after Mayor Doherty rapped the gavel to open the meeting, a motion to adjourn carried with no opposition. 9CHOOLS TO HOLD OPEN HOUSE EDUCATION WEEK (Continued from page 1) grouping, self-pacing, alter­ native methods to A,B,C,D,F grading, team teaching, per­ sonalizing instruction, closed circuit T.V., acceleration and enrichment programs, or in­ dividualized instructional programs. On Thursday, Oct. 26, at 7:45 p.m., parents of children in year 4 or 5 in school may attend a coffee jointly sponsored by the school and the PTO in the child's elementary school home room. policy regarding personal business days for teachers. Supt. Swantz advised the board that from the staff of 100, twenty-nine teachers had made use of the privileges granted last year. Action was also taken on board policy additons concerning sick leave. The vote brought one negative expression from Lloyd Freund, who objected to faculty members being allowed time off for personal business. Approval was given to the Professional Negotiation agreement, salary schedule, life and health insurance program for 1972-73. Representatives of the teachers association were present to sign the original documents. It was noted that the average wage increase was .0477. FILE $600,000 SUIT FOLLOWING WOMAN'S DEATH (Continued from page 1) was involved in a fatal accident July 17, 1972, at 7:23 p.m. Her auto was struck by a vehicle driven by James L. Schnulle while both vehicles were traveling on West Jackson street near Oakland avenue, in the city of Woodstock, The suit charges negligent driving and asks $100,000 from Schnulle individually and $100,000 from Schnulle & Sons The plaintiff alleges that the city of Woodstock failed to maintain Jackson street so that it was free of dangerous ob­ stacles in that they failed to remove an electric power line which had fallen on the street and had also failed to give adequate or proper warning of the dangerous, downed power line. The suit asks judgment of $200,000 from the city. The complaint charges that Commonwealth Edison com­ pany failed to maintain its electric power lines at the Jackson street location in a reasonably safe condition and failed to respond to reports of an electric power line blocking the east-bound lane of said street. The suit seeks judgment of $200,000 from the public service company.
