AUDREY R. WALGENBACH McHenry County Treasurer and ex-officio County Collector Subscribed and sworn to before me this 10th day of October, 1980, at Woodstock. Illinois. (s) ROSEMARY AZZARO County Clerk. (Pub. Oct. 22,1980) RADIATION AND THE FUTURE OF It was the day after the accident and Kim's mother was getting worried They only lived a holler from those towers on Three Mile Island. There was no sense taking chances. She made ttfe trip to the store under a blanket. All the words in the world can't do a better job of describ­ ing the way things were. The uncertainty. The unanswered question*. Wbuld Kimberly and countless others die before their time? Wbuld a generation of babies be bom with some unbearable defect? Could the radiation released at Three Mile Island really take that kind of toll? The average dose received by people living within a fifty-mile radius of the accident was 1.4 millirems. The very same amount, on average, that we all get every five days just from natural sources like the sun. The maximum amount anyone could have received was 70 millirems. But only if they were standing stark naked on the east bank of the Susquehanna River directly across from the plant twenty-four hours a day, all six days radiation was released. Even if someone was on that bank, and got all 70 millirems, it still would've been two-thirds less than the dose from a single x-ray of their intestines. And considering that everyone already averages about 200millirems a year from the sun, the stars, the soil beneath their feet, the air they breathe, the water they drink, the food they eat, the buildings they work in, the houses they live in, the gas they cook with, the TV they watch, the x-rays they take, not to mention the potassium and carbon in their own bodies, the effect of the release at Three Mile Island would be quite small. "So small," the President's Commission concluded, "that there will be no detectable additional cases of cancer, developmental abnormalities, or genetic ill-health." Now, if that sounds too good to be true after all the frightening things you've heard, think back to 1945. To Hiroshima and Nagasaki The A-bomb. Hundreds of thousands of people were irradiated. Massively irradiated. In a few blinding minutes, they were exposed to hundreds of thousands of millirems. At least a quarter-million survivors, and their descendents, were studied for the next thirty years by a joint U.S.-Japanese casualty commission. And there were & excess cancers, especially leukemia. Not the epidemic a lot of people expected though, not even close. Approximately four hundred. But at Nagasaki, where the bomb produced mostly gamma and beta radiation, the same two types released in Pennsylvania, no incidence of excess leukemia was found at doses below 100,000 millirems. That's over seventy thousand times more than the average dose at Three Mile Island. At Hiroshima, where the radiation was loaded with neutrons which made it far more potent, no excess leukemia was found at doses below 20,000 millirems--over fourteen thousand times more than the average dose at Three Mile Island. As for genetic changes attributable to either bomb, none have been found. There are other studies, of course. Long-term, scientifically sound studies. -Of thirty-six thousand hyper- thyroid patients who underwent extensive radiation therapy, by the U.S. Public Health Service. -Of ten thousand longtime employees of the Hanford nuclear- weapons facility, by the Battelle Memorial Institute. -Of sixteen hundred parents and their children living in a high- radiation environment, by the University of BraziL They're not as dramatic, but they're just as enlightening. Because they all tracked people exposed to far more radiation than anyone in Pennsylvania. Up to ten thousand times more. The results were all the same. No excess leukemia or other cancers were found. And no genetic damage. Not from low-level radiation. The fact is, after thirty-five years and scores of studies, there's no valid evidence to the contrary. Radiation, like so many other things we live with, can be harmful. But treated with caution and common sense, it doesn't have to be frightening. Smile, Kimberly. The future doesn't look so bad after all Cornnxanwealth Edison New Role For Glass Appears After 35 centuries of utilitarian use, glass now is appearing in a new role and a universe of new shapes. Contemporary artists are working the anicent material into non-functional, imaginative sculpture-- intriguing forms that can be satirical, funky, shocking, amusing, awesome, brash or sometimes just playful. If the ojbects are at all decorative in the traditional gift shop sense-or possibly even practical-those features are largely secondary to the craft­ sman's principal intention to experiment with the artistic and physical properties of glass. Produced in small studio furnaces now available to independent sculptors, the new glass is making a major impression internationally; on other artists, gallery owners, museums, the glass industry and a new breed of collectors. "People have a concept of what glass is," Michael Monroe, curator at the Smithsonian's Renwick gallery in Washington, D.C., says, "but when they see what is now being created, they react, 'I didn't realize it could look like that, be used like that.' " From at least 1500 B.C., the time of the oldest known existing vessels, which were made in Egypt, glass has been the substance for making useful objects, whether mundane or highly ornamental-jugs, bowls and vases, beads and trinkets, for example. Later came window panes, optical devices, lights, electronic components and, most recently, laser fibers. But only in the last 20 years or so has glass caught the eye of American artists as an ideal material for personal expression, a substance that can be shaped for purely aesthetic purposes. Innovative glass- melting techniques, happily developed in the early 1960s, made this possible. And so did a new wave of teaching in museums and at colleges as well as changing American cultural attitudes about art after the 1950s. The new world of abstract, sculptural shapes created by glass artists is not a result of mass production. • Each object is unique, thus ac­ counting for prices running into the hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Unlike a factory operation where design and fabrication are kept separate, the studio artists mold or blow and then shape the glass from their own designs, sometimes with the aid of an associate or two. This is appealing to today's collectors, Monroe says. "Many want to be con­ nected to the artists,. to follow their work; they just don't want to buy an anonymous object." The look of the new creations often can be conjured up by their names: "Wooly Eggs" - delicate, clear oval shapes containing spun glass threads; "Small Black Unidentified Animal Plate-- black amber glass The cost of this message has been charged to our shareholders. s p u r g e o n s We feature the LARGEST Selection of MATERNITY WEAR in McHenry County rops •Slacks •Jeans •Dresses •Pantsuits •*«rsing towns •Maternity Panties •Nursing Bras •Maternity Panty Hose McH«nry Market Place Shopping Cantar ' 345-4100 with, well, an unidentified animal outlined in white; "Sparking Star" - greenish cut and cemented plate glass, radiating from a central core along six planes, and "Space Spiral II"-tinted glass, laminated and cut, sweeping upward in a 270-degree arc. Whether the studio glass is clear or opaque, sandblasted or shattered, geometric or freeform, bright and shiney or dull-in fact, whether it is considered fine art or craft- little concerns such curators as Monroe and the artists themselves. "What an object is made of oi; how it is created shouldn't determine whether it is art," Monroe says. "What is important are the ideas behind the piece you're looking at. Does the object make a statement that transcends its technical merits?" Pioneer glass artist and teacher Marvin Lipofsky, a Californian, agrees. "My biggest problem is that there's no personality in (many of the) works today. It's all technique. A statement is lacking in a lot of them." Actually, the glass-making process and techniques have been pretty well mastered by the studio artists in recent years, a long journey from the early 1960s when "there was practically no in­ formation available," as one of today's leading craft­ smen, Thomas Patti of Massachusetts, recalls. A versatile, flexible, taffy- like material in its molten state, glass is made by melting sand with the proper amounts of soda and lime 50 to a 1500-degree Fahrenheit glowing mass. This simple process, however, becomes more complex by adding cobalt, iron or other metallic oxides to the basic recipe to obtain color characteristics. To Patti and other artists, the beauty of the material is that it is "expressionistic", that it can be twisted and controlled unlike any other substance. But "it's kind of a wrestling match with glass," Patti says. "It's a battle to make the glass speak my language and not let the glass dictate to me." Although glass had been molded and formed around a core as early as 2000 B;C., the major breakthrough in glassmaking came in the Near East about the beginning of the Christian era. This was the discovery of glass-blowing, an im­ portant technique used today bjr both industry and the studio artist. The discovery permitted the production of gi«*s objects in quantities previously advance of importance and types unknown. A second comparable occurred early in the 19th century with the in­ troduction of glass-pressing and bottle-making developed at the outset of the Industrial Revolution. But ironically these changes made glass so widely available that it began to be taken for granted, losing much of its earlier stature. The diversity of studio glass now coming out of American small towns and urban centers is striking to Monroe. "All glass deals with light," he says, "but some artists are more fascinated with its reflective qualities while others are concerned with its opaque aspects. Others are con­ cerned with its delicacy and some with chunks, with mass." In contrast to the "orderly and polite...tidier, more self- contained" functional glass of the 1950s, says design critic Russell Lynes, today's work is "more romantic and flowing on the one hand and expressionist and tough on the other. Its costume is blue jeans, not black tie." "Everybody Loves Opal" Stacey Heuvelman (Opal) and Brian Adams (Brad) are shown at a recent Marian rehearsal for the Drama club's production of "Everybody Loves Opal," The popular comedy will be presented at Marian Thursday and Friday, Oct. 30 and 31, at 8 p.m. Adams plays the sarcastic, manipulative Brad while Miss Heuvelman is the free-spirited and innocent Opal. The box office will open at 7:30 p.m. on each night of the performance.
