Beth Senate Bill 1199 and House Bill 1778, which call for the establishment of the Waterway Management agency, have won approval from the chambers in which they originated and are now under consideration in the other chamber. On a bill passed in the Senate, the McHenry Lock add Dam Mill remain open and work will continue for employees there as a result of SB 1056. This bill will allow boat fund money to be used for the operation of the lock. As of June 14 this bill was in the third reading in the House. An Illinois legislative proposal for creation of a regional agency of government to manage the Fox river and Chain of Lakes between Algonquin and the Wisconsin line has won unanimous approval of the Fox Riverfront Federation. The bill now being considered by the legislature would cause a public referendum of resident voters on the shores of the river and lakes to decide whether a Fox River Waterway Management agency should be created. the proposal is sponsored by the Chain of Lakes-Fox River com­ mission, a legislative body chaired by State Senator Jack Schaffer of Cary and Crystal Lake. State Reps. Dick Klemm of Crystal Lake and Bob Churchill of Lake Villa, members of the legislative commission with Schaffer, are co-sponsors of the waterway management agency proposal with Schaffer. The Fox Riverfront Federation, an alliance of 90 residential, commercial and political subdivisions lying along both banks of the Fox river between With another mjiday still al­ most a month in the distance, the warm sun of a June day should give reason for optimism. Unfortunately, someone is always trying to spoil the good feeling that comes with a new day. 1 Maybe it's the birthday ahead responsible for the uneasiness we sometimes experience, but we're more inclined to believe it's the constant nudgings in the mail. They appear in our mailbox at home and in increasing numbers in the office. One stands out in particular, cautioning that the enclosure is not for everyone.

Riverfront Federation President PatDinsmore, and Trustee Don Costa presented the legislative proposal to the membership as "our greatest abiding hope that some day in the relatively near future, one instrument of government made up of water- fronters can begin to assume the responsibility of saving our Fox river system from otherwise certain death by degradation into a mudflat or swamp." Costa reminded the federation that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers predicted at a federation meeting last fall that every river, from the mighty Colorado to the tiny Fox, is doomed by its dams to deteriorate into a mudflat or swamp through collection of silt by those dams. He said present mud and sand shoaling of the river and channels in the Chain of Lakes bear out the Corps of Engineers' grim prediction. The legislative proposal being considered in Springfield calls for a referendum to approve or disapprove the establishment of the regional agency to be administered by six directors and a chairman elected from McHenry and Lake counties. The agency would have authority to plan, implement and regulate programs and rules to improve and maintain the waterway from flooding and for boating and kindred summer and winter sports. Any proposed bonding or revenue- raising acts of the agency, such as for dredging or recreational facility development would be subject to prior approval by referendum in the region, lite legislative sponsors have in­ cluded in the bill several additional safeguards gainst development of the waterway agency into another major, cumbersome, bureaucracy, including a "sundown" expiration of the agency act in 10 years unless renewed by another public referendum in the region. , Ms. Dinsmore and Costa pointed out that river and lake administration is scattered among several state and A representative of the Internal Revenue Service announced this past week that John P. Sivertsen of 1501 E. Wood lane, McHenry, has been named in an information filed on four counts of failure to file federal income tax returns for four years, 1976 through 1979.

The McHenry man pleaded guilty June 10 to charges the last two years, 1978 and 1979, and Judge Charles Kocovas set July 12 for sentencing.

Spring Grove Man Held For Sexual Assault by Angela Burden SHAW MEDIA NEWS SERVICE Jeffrey J. Untiedt, 20, of 218 Baron drive, Spring Grove, was bound over to felony court Thursday on charges of deviate sexual assault and unlawful restraint. Judge Susan Hutchinson found probable cause on the charges at the close of a preliminary hearing conducted in 19th Judicial Circuit court. Over an objection of the defense counsel, the court ruled that no name or address of the juvenile female victim in the case be used during the hearing. Beverly Hendle, a detective with the McHenry County Sheriff's department, testified she investigated the sexual assault of a 14-year-old girl on May 20. The juvenile told Ms. Hendle that after she left school that afternoon she went to the Fox Lake area for a Job Service interview. When she was walking home along railroad tracks, east of State Park road, a young man grabbed her, put a hand over her mouth and threatened to kill her if she screamed, Mrs. Hendle said. The detective said the offender then forced the girl into a bushy area, told her to disrobe and threatened her again. The victim refused to undress and her wrists were tied by the offender, who undressed her, Hendle said, adding the girl struggled out of her bonds and tried to fight off the offender, but to no avail. The victim identified Untiedt in a photograph line-up the day after the attack. No weapons were used in the attack, police said. Assistant Public Defender Stephen Remis argued the state had not proved probable cause on the charges against Untiedt, but Assistant State's Attorney Paul Ryske contended enough evidence was provided to show probable cause. Judge Hutchinson ordered the bond on Untiedt remain at $106,000. He is being held in county jail. The court bound over the defendant to a Monday, June 20, hearing before Judge Henry Cowlin Job Training Goes Forward By Marion Olsen "Ya wanna buy a duck?" is a logical question to ask for Johnsburg high school's vocational director, Steve Pollock. The yearly sales of 14,000 wooden ducks by the Swan Quarter company will help provide training and em­ ployment for some of District 12's CETA(Comprehensive Employment Training Act) trainees and high school students. Swan is just one of the cooperating industries in the district's $120,000 federally-funded adult vocational training program. Displaying one of the hand-painted ducks at the recent board meeting, Pollock reported on the status of the program and noted the fringe benefits high school students receive from the project. * Some art students have been em- Little Miss Peanut ployed to hand-paint the ducks, and a student who photographed the proposal cover has been offered photography assignments by the firm. Pollock also envisions a money- making venture using scrap from the duck manufacturing process to make wood chiDS for horse bedding. The cooperation of schools, industry and government in job training is strongly advocated by President Reagan, according to Pollock, and next year's grant will increase to $170,000. The program will be re­ named "Job Partnership Training Act," he said. In action related to the program, the board authorized the drawing of specifications and advertising for bids for a new mini-bus and a $25,000 computerized milling machine, both (Contlnwod on pogo 22) Seeks Successor local governmental departments and agencies, with no single government or agency in charge of coordinating those activities or making any long range plans to conserve, protect or improve the flood control and recreational waterway.
