The meeting will take place at Nativity Lutheran church hall beginning at 2 p.m. • Last fall a corps of engineers examined the dam, concluding that it had some structural problems. In the following moths, controversy has risen as to the extent of the problems and the means to correct them. Also on the agenda for this meeting will be the election of a secretary. PRESCHOOL SCREENING Community unit School District 200, which includes those living on the west side of Wonder Lake, will be con­ ducting a screening program for all 3, 4, and 5 year old children March 19-28 from 8- 11:30 a.m. The purpose of the program is the early identification of children who may encounter some learning problems or benefit from specialized help prior to entering school. The screening time for each child will take approximately 45 minutes and will be carried out by the Pupil Personnel services team of the district. This program is not a registration for kindergarten or lor any type of preschool classes. It is a screening program after which letters will be sent to the parents of all children involved, indicating whether the testing results were satisfactory or if ad­ ditional follow-up is recom­ mended. To sign up your child for a screening time, contact the Pupil Personnel services office at 338-4401. Screening is by appointment. ICE BREAKING FACTS For us at Wonder Lake one of the sure signs of spring is the ice leaving the lake and again being able to see the sun glisten on t$e waves. Of course with the lake being the center of our community, much attention is given to it during all seasons, but it seems that this ice breaking has created interest back for several years. Beginning in the late winter of 1963, several Wonder Lake men thought it would be of special merit to be the first ones out on the lake in a boat after the ice was out. Thinking back to those days, I can vividly remember that one would not honestly say the ice was out. Sometimes they worked their boat down streams not much wider than the boat, chopping as they rowed. This contest was open to all Wonder Lakers, but the main contestants were Bill Donash and Jim Stendebach against Jay Cristy and Joe Sullivan. The winners in 1983 were Jay and Joe who went through the water on March 29. The next winter this same team managed a little sooner making it through on March 8. A plaque entitled the "Ice 'Breakers Award" was engraved with the dates for 1963 and 1964, and the winners names, and was hung in a prominent spot in the Cristy and Stendebach Construction company office. On April 14, 1965 Jay again were victorious which they retired due to lack of competition. The plaque now hangs in Sullivan's family room. In the present time, the ice going out has posed challenges for the younger set. Even though no records have been kept, many of the young skiers try to be the first one to water ski for the season. Dressed in a wet suit, shortly after the lake is liquid again, an avid skier will be the first. Barb Gay, who lives on the ancfclM is afteK lake, has kept a record of the ice breaking since 1968. Ice may go out sooner in the bay or the south end of the lake; but Barb's records mark the total freeing up of the lake, since she is on the north end, and it is generally the last to go. Her record is as follows: March 18,1968; March 24,1969; April 1, 1970; April 7, 1971; April 11, 1972; March 9, 1973; March 7 and 8, 1974; April 13, 1975; March 12,1976; March 15, 1977; April 7, 1978. Barb also talked about the different sounds that are present during the ice breaking. Most common is the thundering and rumbling sounds; but on a few occasions when the ice has only been about four inches thick, it has made a" tinkling, crystaline sound as it hits against itself, the sea walls, or boat houses. Barb said this is a melodic sound, beautiful to hear. I was told by several dif­ ferent people that the lake will break up quickly this year since there is so much snow cover. It will be interesting to see what date can be added to the record for 1979. NEW ARRIVAL On Feb. 26, Anthony and Becky Aiello welcomed their first child into their family. Anthony James II arrived weighing 8 lbs., lOVfe oz. The Aiellos are new residents themselves, moving to Wonder Lake three months ago, and now they have again increased our population!

The "CETA Performance Over­ view" report covers activities in Illinois under the CETA act from Oct. 1, 1977 through Sept. 30, 1978. GOMHD compiled the report at the request of the Illinois Employment and Training council which advises the Governor on coordination, commitment and utilization of employment and training resources in Illinois. More than 90 percent of the $300.5 million in federal money spent on the CETA program in Illinois was used for allowances, wages, fringe benefits, training and services paid to or provided for CETA participants. Program administration used only 9.3 percent of the total. > Governor James Thompson has thrown his support behind the Voluntary Effort (VE), a physician-hospital program aimed at containing health costs. The governor designated March 4-10 Voluntary Effort week in Illinois to focus at­ tention on the VE and "help gain widespread support for this program which benefits all Illinoisans". In his proclamation, Gov. Thompson noted that "it is vital that our nation's health care costs remain reasonable in order that all our citizens receive the quality care they need." The VE held the rate of in­ crease in Illinois hospital ex­ penditures to under 10 percent last year, down nearly 5 per­ centage points from 1977, ac­ cording to the Illinois State Cost Containment committee (ISCCC). The ISCCC- which directs the VE in Illinois-is sponsored by the Illinois State Medical society, Illinois Hospital association and ^Federation of American Hospitals. Nationally, the VE is guided by the American Medical association, American Hospital association and Federation of American Hospitals. The goal of the nationwide VE is to reduce the rate of Vtospital expenditure increases by 2 percentage points in both 1978 and 1979. The VE thus far is bettering targeted reduc­ tions, according to ISCCC Chairman Dr. J. M. Ingalls. Lauding the governor's action, he cautioned that "the general inflation spiral will make it extremely difficult to meet VE objectives for 1979 without the full support of all segments of society." The VE was launched in early 1978 as an alternative to mandatory hospital cost controls proposed by the Carter administration. Although Congress last year rejected cost "cap" legislation, the administration again is preparing a cost containment bill. The proposal reportedly will call for mandatory controls to be triggered if hospital cost increases exceed 9.7 percent. The figure is lower than the nationwide VE goal of 11.6 percent of 1979. The proposed 9.7 percent government limit was labeled "unrealistic" by Dr. Ingalls. "It ignores the inflation spiral affecting all segments of the economy, and could be attained only by jeopardizing the quality and availability of care. We will be unable to continually maintain or lower the rate of increase unless inflation is brought under control," he said. The VE is the only major successful anti-inflation program conducted last year, according to Dr. Ingalls. "Creation of standby controls ignores the VE's ac­ complishments and threatens its continued success," he warned. "A standby program may, convince hospitiris that man­ datory controls are inevitable," Dr. Ingalls said. "That could prompt hospitals to escalate expenditures and better prepare themselves to cope with restrictive government limits. Considering the VE's success, the administration's preoccupation with cost con­ trols indicates that is real objective is control of health care, not cost containment," he charged. Protection For Stored Grain McHenry county producers have more than 1.5 million bushels of grain stored on their farms. "Scone of the grain is under loan and some is in the reserve," Jim Lucas, county executive director of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS), said. The ASCS official said far­ mers who have grain stored on the farm, whether its under loan or in the reserve, are fully responsible for maintaining the quality nd quantity of that grain. He emphasized that the grain should be inspected periodically to make sure it is in good condition. ASCS will also spot check the farm-stored grain and notify producers of any existing problems. "Our spot checks should not be relied upon as a substitute for the farmer's regular inspections," Lucas said. If there is a problem, the farmer has an option to rotate the grain, after obtaining permission from ASCS. "If he has 1976 or 1977 crop grain in the reserve, and the condition is such that he feels he needs to move that grain, he can replace it with new crop grain." "We would like to have farmers get new grain in place before we release the old grain. However, we recognize that this cannot be done in many cases. So we have provisions that will allow a farmer to move the old grain out, either to a buyer for sale or to a warehouse to hold, until he can get the new crop harvested and in place." For more information on handling farm stored grain crops, contact the local ASCS office.
