(Continued from page 1) STORE OPENING business was really no better on either night, her regular night customers are just getting used The McHenry County Department of Health has started its evaluation program of swimming beaches within the county, with the first samples collected May 21 and 22. The department will be collecting samples Monday and Tuesday of each week throughout the swimming season and will be collecting a sample from nearly every beach in the county each week. The criteria used by the McHenry County Department of Health to determine if the waters in a beach are satisfactory or unsatisfactory for swimming are the criteria set up by the Illinois Depart­ ment of Public Health in their rules and regulations con­ cerning recreatioqaj areas and recreational waters. Those standards arer^OOO total coliform organisms per 100 milliliters of water and-or 100 fecal coliform organisms in 100 milliliters of water. Any time a sample has more than 1000 coliform or 100 fecal coliform per 100 ml. of water, that swimming area is con­ sidered unsatisfactory. However, the standards recognize the variability present in natural swimming areas and specify that before a beach is posted these standards must be exceeded by two consecutive samples. Also, the standards specify that any time two consecutive samples ex­ ceed 5000 total coliform per 100 ml. and-or 500 fecal coliform per 100 ml. the beach shall be physically closed to restrict persons from having access to those waters. In the future, the department will issue information con­ cerning the results of the sampling during the week specifying those beaches which are found to be un­ satisfactory during that week and also specifying those beaches which have had two consectutive unsatisfactory samples collected from them and which the department will be posting as unsafe for swimming. Those beaches at which the water was found to be un­ satisfactory for swimming include Lazy "K" Camp Grounds, Highland Shores, Sunrise Ridge, Indian Ridge, No. 1, Wonder Lake and Wonder Center No. 2, Wohder Lake; Lake Shore drive, Mc- Cullom Lake; Riveprtne Park No. 1 and No. 2 - Foltriver; City of McHenry, McHenry Shores, and Pistakee Terrace.

O'Brien, 3612 Elmshire, McHenry. was taken to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue squad and is listed in satisfactory condition following a motorcycle ac­ cident Friday morning.

In avoiding the car, O'Brien said he moved to the shoulder where he lost control of his cycle. O'Brien was ticketed for a violation of vehicle classification. Mark A. Dehn, 2207 Johnsburg road, McHenry, did an'estimated $250 damage to his car early Monday morning when he hit another car driven, by Jeffrey L. Zellers, 4115 N. Riverdale, McHenry.

Hansen, 709 Oriole trail, McHenry, was ticketed for improper lane usage after he hit a car driven by Helen Stavros, Northbrook. Ms. Stavros said she was eastbound on Route 120 when the car in front of her swerved to the right, signalled left, and turned in front of her. Evidence at the scene of the accident, according to the report, indicated that Hansen made his turn from the right lane. And a rash of rear-enders and accidents while backing up seemed to be in order for the to the Thursday night opening. Jim Wegener, at McGee's, said, "I think either the Plaindealer or the Chamber of Commerce should take a poll of the people and find out what they want." Memorial Day weekend just past. Charles J.

Backs, 4601 Wilmot, McHenry, said he was stopped at some gas pumps, when a friend in front of him started backing up.

Potatoes and dried beans Are good buys for April. Heavy supplies are reportedly on the market. New potatoes will soon be plentiful. Soil erosion causes economic damages that aren't readily apparent to the landuser, says Bob Walker, University of Illinois Extension natural resource specialist. He says many farmers may overlook erosion as a problem. An inch of Illinois soil weighs approximately 150 tons per acre. A corn-soybean rotation grown continuously under Illinois rainfall conditions, with fall plowing, conventional tillage and up and down slope farming, can result in average annual Soil losses of 8 to 10 tons per acre on long gentle slopes of 2 percent. On a 5 percent slope, 300 feet long, annual soil losses can average as much as 30 tons per acre under the same conditions. However, con­ dition this spring has resulted in greater than average soil erosion in many areas. Heavy high-intense rain came shortly after the snow melted while the soil was saturated with water, causing higher runoff rates than normal. Walker says farmers are losing the topsoil faster than it can be regenerated on many fields. This seriously impairs productivity, especially on soil having subsoil that is un­ favorable for plant root development. Today's farmers are adding lime, nitrogen, phosphate, and potash to the topsoil in order to maintain high crop yields. Although these are usually incorporated, they remain near the soil surface and are too lost through excessive soil erosion. Replacement is costly and represents a substantial economic loss to farmers, says Walker. Loss of water holding capacity due to the loss of soil organic matter, is another direct effect of erosion. As the soil depth is reduced by erosion, less water is stored in the crop producing layer and more water runs off the soil surface. The spring planting season is the time when hard rains are most likely to occur, says Walker. Newly seeded crop stands can be reduced or destroyed because seeds and young plants are washed away. As rills and gullies increase in size during the growing season, further crop damage occurs. Walker says most farmers don't think about what those gullies cost them in time, equipment and management. Operating farm equipment on a field filled with rills and gullies may take more time because of the need to drive slowly. But more important, tillage tools are harder to pull as the topsoil is eroded away and the subsoil comes closer to the surface. BY JOSEPH COOLS staff psychologist . news from the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic of McHenry County. (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This ar­ ticle is "Coping - Pre-marital Anxiety".) As marriage is probably the single most important decision that most people will ever make, it is no wonder that the event is usually accompanied by a great deal of misgiving and second thoughts. There is probably no other change in a person's life that has as many consequences as getting married. A person's entire life style is changed by that few minutes spent in the wedding ceremony. Both the man and the woman quite naturally have many feelings as to whether they are doing the right thing; if they will be happy; if they can handle the responsibility; if they can make it financially. These pressures as well as the pressure of wanting the wed­ ding and reception to be perfect can .often have some very comfortable consequences for the bride and groom. To people who are able to express their feelings directly and are not embarrassed or ashamed of their second thoughts, the feelings are usually dealt with adequately with no really unpleasant symptoms. If, however, the bride or groom will not or cannot feel free to deal with these feelings, the resulting anxiety can lead to a miserable existence before the wedding. The experience may be dif­ ferent for different people, but the most common symptoms are anxiety and depression, usually increasing in severity as the wedding date ap­ proaches. Most important to remember is that the feelings are normal and to be expected, no matter how bizarre or distressing. During this time, as in all times of stress, it usually helps to share the feelings with someone who can be trusted. Next: The Newborn.
