/ Reports On Conservation Nurses Host Meeting On Continuing Education Kitty Gora, center, McHenry County Defenders scholarship recipient, describes her experiences at the environmental workshop while Alice Howenstine, left, of McHenry and Defenders president, Sydna Becker, Crystal Lake, listen attentively. Kitty Gora of Crystal Lake recently reported to the McHenry County Defenders board of directors on the conservation conference she attended at Western Illinois university in late June. A scholarship from the Defenders enabled her to attend the conference. Morning lectures by a federal soil scientist and a represen­ tative of Illinois EPA informed the conference participants of current conservation practices and problems. Afternoon sessions were spent in the field with conservation professionals who explained the function ^of their jobs. One trip which interested Kitty was a tour of a stripmined area where sludge ' from Chicago was being used in rehabilitating the land. Kitty became interested in a conservation career when her Industrial Arts class at Crystal Lake high had a presentation on forestry. She was one of two girls who worked for the McHenry County Conservation district this past summer. Kitty said she really enjoyed the experience working out-of- doors and has decided to pursue a career in forestry or wildlife biology. At present, she is studying at McHenry County college. After she completes her basic courses there, she plans to attend Southern Illinois university. A similar outdoor education scholarship was awarded to Robert Scherer of Crystal Lake. At least two such scholar­ ships are awarded each summer by the Defenders to encourage young people to develop their interests in en­ vironmental careers. For more information about the scholarship program, contact Mrs. Robert J. (Sydna) Becker, 627 Leonard, Crystal Lake. Satellite Crop Reporting Project Takes On New Work All registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are invited to attend an open forum on legislation to be introduced in 1977 which would require them to show proof of con- Baldlno Promts•« RTA Board Hoarlng On Sklnnor Charge State Rep. Cal Skinner, Jr., R-Crystal Lake, has called for the resignation of Milton Pikarsky, chairman of the Chicago area Regional Transportation Authority (RTA), on the grounds that Pikarsky has violated state law. "He's an illegal double- dipper," Skinner said. "By accepting money for courses he taught at the University of Illinois," Skinner said, "Pikarsky has violated two different sections of the RTA act. Section 3.01 forbids any director of the RTA to be employed by any other unit of state government, and section 3.04 specifically forbids the chairman of the RTA from engaging in any other business or employment while he is acting as chairman. "Pikarsky ignored both of these provisions and is, therefore, clearly in violation of the laws governing the agency which he is supervising, and laws which Pikarsky, himself, helped to draft. Daniel Baldino of Evanston, formerly of McHenry, RTA director, said he will call for a hearing on the matter as soon as possible. LACIE-a test project using satellite, weather and ground data to determine wheat acreage and yields -will be fed information for additional computer work in October to start phase 3 of the project. LACIE means Large Area Crop Inventory Experiment. Jim Lucas, County Executive Director, McHenry County ASCA Office, said, "ground truth" inspections, on-site checks, at 27 wheat areas in the U.S. Great Plains are made every 18 days by county ASCS employees. Size of these model areas are 5- by 6- miles, the crop, soil and weather in­ formation at the 27 areas is collected by ASCS employees. It is then used by the LACIE staff to train analysts, and to check the computer and the accuracy of < wheat crop estimates made from data provided by orbiting satellites, Landsats 1 and 2. Lucas said LACIE phase 3 tests will include full-scale crop reporting. He said he has received word from the LACIE staff that in addition to reporting estimates of wheat acreage, yield and production, new research will be on techniques of evaluating damage to crops by drought, winterkill, disease, insect in­ festations and other events that reduce crop productivity. "Phase 3 is scheduled to begin in November. The project is currently making ex­ perimental estimates of wheat production in the U.S. Great Plains, Canada's prairie provinces, and selected regions in the USSR. Areas to be in­ cluded in phase 3 have not yet The Biggest from the place been determined. Such coverage will depend to a large extent on phase 2 results, Lucas said. In addition to the work in the 24 counties by ASCA em­ ployees, Lucas said ASCS staffers make up a significant part of the LACIE staffs at Houston, Tex., and Washington, D.C. ASCS-LACIE employees at Houston compile comprehensive calendars of wheat growth stages, while those at Washington collect and analyze historical crop data from old crop and weather records at various govern­ mental offices. The lead USDA agency in the satellite project is Foreign Agricultural Service while some other agencies also cooperate. The overall project design and management <is jointly handled by USDA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the National Oceanic and At­ mospheric Adminstration. LACIE is a possible forerunner of a worldwide crop reporting system via satellite. Principal objectives of the project are to achieve more timely and accurate crop and weather forecasting in key areas of the world. Such reports could permit more successful planting, buying, selling and storage of crops, and help stabilize farm and food prices in all nations.

Sponsored by District" 16 of the Illinois Nurses' Association (and division 22 of the Licensed Practical Nurses' Assocation of Illinois) forums will be held Wednesday, Dec. 1, at 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. at the Sheraton Waukegan Inn. The presen­ tation of mandatory continuing education in the first two hours is open to all RNs and LPNs, It will be followed by a session for INA members to discuss new bylaws proposals. On the theory that nurses are individually responsible for safe practice, the Illinois Nurses' association house of delegates voted in 1975 to in­ troduce a continuing education bill. Evidence of continuing education programs would be one means of assuring the public that nurses are up-to- date on issues in the rapidly expanding health-care field. Licenses must be renewed every two years. Similar bills for Illinois op­ tometrists and physicians were signed into law last year. Since 1974 the Illinois Nurses' association has had a voluntary continuing education program. Last year INA became the first state nurses' association to be accredited for continuing education by the American Nurses' Association.
