GARDEN CLUB What could be a lovelier letting for our October meeting than Mrs. Elaine Oslakovic's home with en­ closed atrium filled with beautiful plants - among them, orchids in blossom? Our guest speaker was Ms. Alice Clark who enlightened us about the museum of the McHenry County Historical Society in Union - "housed in the 1870 Union school, the museum offers a com­ prehensive collection of artifacts which detail the history and growth of McHenry county." Ms. Clark also showed us some pieces from the collection including ladies fashions; some pieces from the Clark family itself, wooden hat stretchers, cherry pitter, antique shoe hook, tooth extractor, and goose feather fan preserved for ours and future generations to enjoy, and enjoy we did!

Under the Agricultural Areas Conservation and Protection act, farmers are encouraged to include their farmland into an Agriculture Area to assure its con­ tinuation as a farm for the next decade. "We believe this op­ portunity to preserve far­ mland for agricultural purposes with the protection provided by this act is an important step farmers should consider," Harris said in announcing the availability of application forms. "Farmers have been pressured to consider giving up their farmland because of many forces, such as in­ creasing taxes and inroads of developments around the land. With land committed to farming for a decade, this land will be taxed for its farming productivity. Owners will have the assurance it won't be taxed for what might be con­ sidered a developmental purpose. "By placing at least 500 acres in an Agricultural Area, one farm owner, or more than one farm owner of contiguous land, can let potential developers in the area know their land will .be agricultural and tint agriculture is in the neigh­ borhood for an extended period." Harris explained the pressure also takes the form of scattered development- developments in wide belts around urban area brings conflicting land uses into juxtaposition, creates high costs for public services and stimulates land speculation. "In McHenry county, land development generated much unrest and un­ certainty, but adoption of the new zoning ordinance helped clarify best land use policies. This new act will aid far­ mers if they work together to take advantage of the protection it provides." In preparing the law, the Illinois General Assembly said, ".Much jftlUL is in jeopardy of being fcfetrtef any agricultural purpose. Certain land constitutes unique and irreplaceable land resources of statewide importance. It is the purpose p.m. 8510 W. Sunset Nov. 14 & 15 Turkey Hunt; Christ the King hall Nov. 15 LCW Spaghetti Dinner; Nativity Lutheran church of this Act to provide a means by which agricultural land may be protected and enhanced as a viable segment of the state's economy and as an economic and environmental resource of ma jar importance." To apply for an Agricultural Area, an ap­ plication is sent to the Agriculture Areas com­ mittee, a committee to be appointed by the County Appointing Authority. That committee is appointed by county board chairman Richard Klemm, approved by the county board; ap­ plicants to serve on that five- member committee are being sought now, Harris said. H»e county board then publishes information on the proposed Agricultural Area, and 30 days after the publication a public hearing is held. The Act lists five factors that should be considered in forming an agricultural area: viability of active farming within the area and in adjacent land; presence of viable farmlands within the proposed area not now in active farming; the nature and extent of land uses other than active farming within the proposed and adjacent areas; county development patterns and needs; and any other matter which may be relevant. "Other matters" might include soil, climate, topography, other natural teeters, markets for farm products, extent and nature of farm improvements, present status of farming, and anticipated trends in agricultural economic conditions and technology. Hie act notes that if a proposed Agricultural Area is within a one and one-half milt radius of a municipality, the county board shall notify the municpal authorities. The county board after receiving reports, proposed alterations, any objections or fnodification proposals acts on the proposal and do so within 45 days i the date the proposal is kitted. The act also has a for a farmer or to withdraw their from an Agricultural Finally, Harris said act calls for all state agencies to encourage the maintenance of viable farming in agricultural areas. The nation includes those "open-minded" persons who listen to only one side. ROBERT MCJSIKflNTOW. Ph.D. psychologist for the Family Service end Community Hentel Health Center for McHenry County (Editor's note: This is another article in the Today's Psychology weekly series of especially written articles for McHenry county readers. The topic this week is "Feedback" ) From an early age, many of us learned that mistakes were bad things, something to be avoided at all costs. Somewhere along the line we bought into the illusion that we should be perfect and not make errors. This attitude leads us to be Used Books very sensitive to criticism from others, as well as to our own mistakes. Too often, we take a defensive "who do you think you are to tell me what to do" stance or we berate ourselves and feel bad when what we do does not turn out the way we had planned. What we do not realise is thst mistakes are a necessary part of learning. If you are not willing to make an error, you will avoid putting yourself in a situation where new learning might take place. The most productive point of view to take towards mistakes and criticism is to see that they are just useful informstion. From this perspective you can begin to develop the feeling that such feedback is not a personal attack on your self worth, but rsther informstion you can listen to in order to improve your own per­ formance. the Nunda Library Holds Sale Trustees of the McHenry Nunda Library district are sponsoring a used book sale Saturday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 9,1 to 5 p.m. at 1807 W.
