(DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) <!> Earth Care Calendars Appointments to Prepared By Defenders c#WB#r Board Planned The McHenry County Defenders have prepared an Earth Care month calendar for April, 1977, for McHenry county. Its purpose is to focus and encourage interest on the part of McHenry county residents and organizations in projects which contribute to the •improvement of the en­ vironment. It was prepared by the Defenders with the help of many organizations in the county. The McHenry County Defenders recalled the first Earth day, which was March 21, 1970. It was a rallying point for environmentalists and encouraged people all over the country to conserve natural resources While interest has shifted from Earth day, environmental issues are of even greater importance now. The McHenry County Defenders care deeply about the earth and feel many other individuals and groups do too. The Defenders decided an Earth Care month would ex­ press this caring and interest in conserving natural resources. Organizations were invited to list" tHeir environmental activities, meetings, and programs in an Earth Care month calendar. Assistance was offered to groups in planning programs by the McHenry County Defenders Speakers bureau, headed by Sherry Anderson. The calendar lists twenty- five events by date. Also listed are the ten McHenry County Conservation districts which are open from sunrise to sunset, and would be fine spots for hikes or picnics during the children's spring vacation. Maps of these areas are available free at the Con­ servation district office, 142 Washington street, Woodstock.

With the expansion of the group from a half dozen in 1970 to over 250 members this year, the Defenders approved a major administrative change. A three-person executive committee was formed in lieu of a president. Elected to the top posts were Anne Carroll, Jan Chinlund and Alice Howenstine. Providing a geographical balance for the county-wide organization, the three come into the new position with a wide range of experience and interest. Alice Howenstine, who lives in McHenry, has been a member since 1972 and has served on the board of directors for the last four years. She singlehandedly organized and maintains the enormously successful recycling program in McHenry. She has worked on numerous projects and committees during this time.

Every weekend from April through October youngsters from scouting, church groups, and A.F.S. combine outdoor camping experience with learning about earl> American arts and crafts. Alice is also presently working on her Master's degree in Geography and Environmental Science at Northeastern university. Anne Carroll, who lives in rural Woodstock, has been a member of Defenders since 1971 and has served on the board of directors for four years. She has been responsible for the organization of two major programs having regional impact and drawing over 3,000 perople. Jan Chinlund lives in Crystal Lake and has been a member of Defenders since 1972. She served two years on the board of directors and two years as second vice-president. Her activities with the group have included coordinating recycling, chairing the Turning Point Study group, and organizing the Watershed program. Additional officers elected were Sherry Anderson and Kathy Schaid as first and second vice-president, respectively; Margaret Marchi, secretary; Lou Marchi, treasurer; and directors-at-large, Lela Boener, Peter Koenig, Sydna Becker, Ron Stroupe, and Ward Duel. Fred Fitzpatrick served as nominating chairman. The group's outgoing president of four years, Sydna Becker, mentioned some of the major events and ac­ complishments of the past several years. In an effort to address specific problems, the Defenders have presented a series of major programs covering the issues of Land Use, Growth, and Energy. The next in this series pf programs with regional impact is a day long Gravel conference to be held on April 30 at Central school, Crystal Lake.
