PIONEER CENTER OFFERS NEW SERVICE (Continued from page 1) "Parents work with the team so that when the child is home, the parents can perform the necessary treatment program to help their individual child develop," continued Lambourn. The team of professionals includes Mrs. Marlene Jochimsen, child development specialist; Mrs. Sharon Halwax, child development specialist aide and Mrs. Ruth Drye, registered nurse. The staff people are with each child 90 minutes at a time, two times a week. One staff person works with one child because this is a personal, highly-skilled program of assistance, said Lambourn. Staff people also are able to refer the child to a specialist, such as a speech therapist or physical therapist, . to supplement what they are doing Pioneer center staff people conduct this program both at its offices in an apartment at McCullom Lake and at' the home of the child. The apartment is in a homelike environment to make the children feel more familiar with the setting, compared with an office or clinic approach. The home visits are carried out if the parents cannot bring the child to the Pioneer center facility. Lambourn said his staff now is assisting twelve 0-3 children; seven more have been referred to Pioneer center and await assistance as soon as the staff people are available and trained. The Birth to Three program has another major benefit . Parents receive assistance in placing their child in programs that provide the best possible treatment should added treatment be needed later. Many times the assistance in the 0-3 program is all that is required to help the child gain independent functioning. "The Birth to Three program is highly individualized and care and assistance is given each child following staff evaluation and discussion. The specialists are alert to notice areas the child may be slow in developing following establishment of the individualized program," summarized Lambourn. People who know a youngster in the Birth to Three age group who might be helped through this Pioneer center program . are invited to contact the , center. Pioneer center is a nStP ' profit organization and offers the services at no cost to the family. The State of Illinois is helping fund this program. The fact that McHenry county citizens recently approved a gradual increase in the local mental health tax opens the way for added state funds to come into McHenry county to help dysfunctional children and the mentally and physically handicapped children and adults. SCHEDULE SEWAGE PLANT HEARING IN McHENRY (Continued from page 1) Leslie Arends recently urged the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Public Works to include an initial sum of $80,000 for implementing the study. If the Congressmen could obtain a partial funding now, Carlson said the corps could proceed and could avoid a year's delay in effecting the study. Remedial steps to offset damage being caused by flooding and erosion on the Fox river could also be taken, he indicated. Complaints were heard that studies have been going on for fifteen years but nothing gets done. Some said that the $1,400,000 should have been earmarked for construction instead of another study. Carlson remarked that the ACE had made a flood control study in 1960 and determined there was no feasible solution at that time to control flooding along the Fox river. Consideration was given at that time to channel the Fox but that would encompass 98 miles of river which would be tremendously expensive. (The study also included Wisconsin.) The ACE checked the possibility of trying to retain the water but could find no natural, major resorvoir sites in Wisconsin which would retain enough water during the flood stage to make any difference. Col. Smedley noted that studies showed if there .were some way the Chain O'Lakes could have been drained bone dry in 1960, "when that flood would have hit this basin it would have taken over ten times the storage available to handle the storm water that came down from Wisconsin". Col. Smedley also said that during that same flood, the dam at Algonquin recorded a flow of 6,600 cubic feet per second. The projected amount of effluent that will come out of the Fox Lake treatment plant in 2010 is 19 million gallons per day or 30 cubic feet per second. "Thirty cubic feet compared to 6,600 cubic feet is just a droD in a bucket,"-' Smedley emphasized. According to Carlson, the 1960 study authorized by Congress was for the study of flood control only. It was reported that there was two million dollars in damage to the area in 1960. When the cost of damage was compared to what the project would cost, it was decided by government authorities that the project was not feasible. Col. Smedley explained that if this Fox River Valley Basin study can show a favorable "benefit-cost ratio", Congress would likely appropriate funds for improvements. A comprehensive study is needed which would analyze the situation and break it down into different facets. What has to be done to correct the problems? What additional benefits will be afforded the public such as fishing, boating, recreation, environmental benefits, etc? Detailed accounts must be presented and future benefits must be higher than future costs or the project will be labled uneconomical, Smedley said. "The study in 1960 was a single purpose study - a flood control study," Smedley emphasized. "It was found not to be a feasible project then." However, with this new approach, he felt "if you take into consideration the other benefits, you may be able to come up with a favorable benefit-cost ratio on the study". He pointed out that Congress is only interested in the economics of the project. It doesn't want to throw good money after bad, he said. Officials at the round table discussion will be present at the public hearing at West campus May 28 to answer questions and listen to comments from interested citizens. It is hoped a plan can be worked out that will be mutually acceptable to both counties. AUXILIARY POLICE COMPLETE COURSE (Continued from page 1) be used in other emergencies or wherever they are needed. They volunteer their time, and buy their own uniforms. This brings the personnel complement to twenty-seven which includes three women. They will serve in the same capacity as the men. In the past the volunteers have assisted the McHenry county Sheriff's department, and the Algonquin and the McHenry Police departments for various civic events including the McHenry County Fair, McHenry V.F.W. and American Legion carnivals, Algonquin Founders' day, and the Wonder Lake ski show. The participation at these events enable the volunteers to obtain actual field training. Anyone interested in o b t a i n i n g a d d i t i o n a l information may contact the McHenry County Civil Defense office in Woodstock. CHARGES PENDING AGAINST DRIVER WHO STRIKES TREE (Continued from page 1) sheriff's deputies for failure to report an accident involving property damage. David P. Ullrich of 5908 N.

MU SIN" N1 MEANDERIN" (Continued from page 1) North Western. Hovde argued that now the North Western is suggesting that the reverse may be necessary. Referring to the $300,000 for track improvement, Hovde called the amount "piddling" compared to the total facility. The chairman admitted that there may be some question this year of 1974 about the financial prudence of putting large amounts of money into improvements, in view of the number of commuters north of McHenry. But he was quick to insist that there is no question that there will be a tremendous need for train service into Wisconsin as developments progress along the line. The ICC citation to "show cause" was filed against the railroad at the request of McHenry County Commuters. Gerald Ryan of 3906 High street, McHenry, is the president. Sills, who filed a federal complaint on behalf of the W a l w o r t h T r a n s p o r t a t i o n group, asked that this evidence, too, be included in the Chicago hearing. A hearing continuance was made to a date in June. K.A.F. Barbara Krebs Tells Of Life As American Abroad The McHenry chapter of the American Field Service recently received a letter from Barbara Krebs, MCHS senior who won the 1974 school year scholarship under the American Abroad program. Barbara, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Krebs of Eastwood Manor, is living with the Manoel Aide Vasconcellos family in the town of Santos, Sao Paulo, Brazil. "I love it. Don't ask what IT is, I can include everything in that sentence". That was the McHenry girl's introduction. She has been living in an apartment near the ocean and taking advantage of it for swimming. It was summer in that country upon her arrival, and Santos, a large city, had quite a number of people from Aao Paulo residing there during that season. Her first week was spent in a monastery in the mountains above Rio with forty-three other A.D.S. students. There they saw a soccer match in the world's largest stadium, visited Ipanena and Copacabana .beaches, saw the statue of the Redeemer and Sugar Loaf mountain. When her letter was written, she was anticipating the start of school the following week. Some people are quite even- tempered - they're mad all the time. | POLITICAL !
