(The following composition was written by one of the candidates for graduation this year at McHenry County, college. It was written to fulfill an assignment in "expository writing." The assignment was not limited to "Tribute to MCC", in fact the subject was not limited at all. The student who wrote it was Peggy O'Malley of Crystal Lake. Peggy has been active this year in student activities, and as a batgirl for the baseball team. She was chosen queen of the College's Christmas dance.) TRIBUTE TO MCC Every day of a persons's life is a new experience -- what he cares to do, see, and feel is totally up to him as an in­ dividual. Unfortunately, some environments can limit the quality and opportunity of experience. Unfortunately, not many people find M.C.C. a- worthwhile experience. To me, the year that I have spent here has been one of the most wonderful experiences that I believe I will ever have. In Assess Mobile order to fully experience or appreciate anything, a person has to be ready and have the desire. The confines of M.C.C. contain not only a broken-down old factory, but some of the finest teachers and people that I have ever met. Most of the students here are friendly, genuine people who ask little more than being what you are to be accepted. Without the warmth and confidence many of these people unknowingly gave me, I seriously doubt if I would nave been able to gain half as much for myself as I have. At any school a person goes to he runs into both good in­ structors and poor ones. I must 50,000 Americans Yearly Sutter Loss Of Eye More than 50,000 Americans lose the sight of one eye each year, according to the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness. A great majority of these losses are caused by Occidents, ranging from have been blessed. Several of the instructors that I had the opportunity to have were probably the best that I have had in fourteen years of school. Not only was the quality of their teaching superior. They were • at the same time among the most understanding and helpful people. Their teaching, help, and understanding helped me to find out what learning really was. To me that was a mar­ velous discovery. Finding out that you are capable of really understanding so much makes studying almost enjoyable. The combination of people, teachers, and learning has been a key that h£s unlocked doors that I never even knew existed. common accidents from fireworks to one .aviation engineer who lost an eye "when a duck smashed into the cockpit of his aircraft. The figures emphasize dramatically the importance of using shatter-resistant glasses and exercising prudent safety precautions at all times. Loss of one eye does not cut vision in half as most people assume. Actually, the loss is only one-fifth. A free brochure, "One Eye Sees Everything," is available from the Illinois Society for the Prevention of Blindness, 220 South State Street, Chicago, Illinois 60604. There is an old saying that the people make a school what it is. If that is true, it is no wonder that this year has been so en­ joyable and profitable for me. Thank you to M.C.C.

(U.S. Route 14). Home Owners Under Bi l l 1 Legislation sponsored by Sen. Karl Berning (R-Deerfield) requiring mobile home owners to pay a fair and equitable share of local property taxes was approved last week by the Illinois Senate. Berning's bill was necessitated by a U.S. Supreme court decision affirming a public referendum in 1970 to repeal the personal property tax on individuals, and will insure that mobile home dwellers will continue to pay a share of local governmental services. Sen. Jack Schaffer (R-Cary) was a co-sponsor rof the measure with Berning. They commented: "This bill requires mobile home owners to pay taxes as fixed by county boards of supervisors or commissioners, with the assessment based on square- footage. However, unlike the real estate tax homeowners pay, the new mobile home privilege tax will be due and payable on a current year basis. This would solve the frequent problem of mobile home owners moving after their taxes are assessed, but before they are paid. "We cannot impose a direct ad valorem real estate tax on these people because of a provision in the new Con­ stitution which prohibits reimposing an ad valorem tax on those relieved of the per­ sonal property tax. "This is an extremely im­ portant bill for every school district in the state, and should go a long way toward dissipating growing local op­ position to this increasingly popular form of housing."

PAGE 16-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1973 HIGH JUMP Treatment Facilities Compromise Legislation Compromise legislation to give county officials control over establishment of un­ digested sludge treatment facilities and advisory authority in the use of digested sludge has been worked out as a result of extensive discussions in Springfield this past week between officials of six nor­ theastern Illinois counties, representatives of the Chicago Metropolitan Sanitary district and four GOP senators who had introduced anti-sludge treat­ ment bills earlier in the session. The discussions,which lasted more than four hours in the State Capitol, and included three representatives of the Sanitary district and more than * forty county officials, were held to work out problems in a proposed amendment so local authorities would have some control over the establishment of undesirable treatment facilities and permit the Metropolitan Sanitary district to continue its use of digested sludge. The Republican senators present were Edward McBroom, Kankakee; James F. "Jim" .Bell,, Joliet; Jack Schaffer, Cary; and Robert W. Mitchler, Oswego. Digested sludge is a byproduct of the sewage treatment process which is used by sanitary districts as fertilizer to fortify agricultural land. It differs from wastewater, or undigested sludge, in that it has completed the treatment process. The original bill was precipitated by a recom­ mendation by the U.S. Army A Corps of Engineers that a massive wastewater land treatment system be established in downstate counties to act as a way of alleviating sewage treatment problems in the Chicago metropolitan area. The measure would have barred the establishment of such treat­ ment facilities or the movement of waste across county boundaries without prior approval of the county board of supervisors. Bart Lynam, general manager of the Metropolitan Sanitary district, assured t)»e county officials he did not endorse the Corps of Engineers proposal and wanted only to insure continuation of the district's ability to conduct its digested sludge program. He pointed out the use of digested sludge has met with public approval in Fulton county where it is being used to in­ crease productivity of far­ mland and reclaim stripmined land The final amendment hammered out Thursday morning in a meeting between the senators and Andrew Farenga. an attorney for the Sanitary district,differentiates between digested and un­ digested sludge and puts control over undigested sludge treatment activity in the hands of individual county boards. In addition, no digested sludge utilization site could be established without submission of an application to a steering committee composed of five members of the county board of " " ^ the county where tne site is proposed, three members appointed by the applicant, two members appointed by the president of the University of Illinois including one from the local agricultural\xtension service, and one member each appointed by the directors of the following state agencies: Environmental Protection agency, Department of Con­ servation. Department of Agriculture, Department of Transportation, and Dpartment of Public Health. The, amendment also guarantees county health departments,, or other similar county agencies, the right to monitor digested sludge utilization sites. If county" authorities feel violations are occurring, they can seek relief of their grievances through action by the state En­ vironmental Protection agency. Responding to the amend­ ment, Sen. Schaffer said, "Certainly we have not given everyone everything they wanted. Neither has the Sanitary district gotten unrestricted ability to operate its digested sludge treatment program, nor have the counties received complete control over what happens within them. But I think we have arrived at a workable compromise that solves the bulk of the problems for both sides." Sen. Bell added, "One of the primary concerns of downstate county residents in this con­ troversy has been the possible establishment of treatment facilities that would be either undesirable or unhealthy. These concerns should be greatly relieved by the fact that any sludge treatment development would be directly Q. How can 1 preserve the luster and finish on my golf club woods? A.

The four senators said if the compromise proved uji workable, they would seek new legislation to correct it during the next session of the Legislature.
