SECTION 2 - j'/USK 2 I'l-MNDKALKH IVI.DNIySj^ V. FEBIMJARV 8. 1984 general News Conservation district notes its major accomplishments Dance for Heart Feb. 12 Dancers from throughout Northern Illinois will participate in Dance For Heart, a three hour dance marathon, on Sunday, Feb. 12, from 1 to 4 in the af­ ternoon. The event, which is sponsored by Northern Illinois Dance Instructors, will benefit the American Heart Association. Dance students will be soliciting sponsors for their participation in the fund raising event. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the American Heart Association to be used to fund AHA cardiovascular research, education and com­ munity service programs. One of the highlights of this event will be an appearance by dancer Billy Hufsey, a cast member of the television show Fame. Hufsey has expressed a special interest in promoting cardiovascular health through aerobic dance exercise. The co-chairpersons for this event are Nancy Gioppo and Mary Lee Johnson. Dance In­ structors from many different aerobic dance exercise programs have worked together to make this an event that all dancers in good physical con­ dition can participate in. "One of every two deaths in America is caused by heart disease or stroke," said Nancy Gioppo, "And we want to fight cardiovascular disease not only by raising money for research and education, but to show people that aerobic exercise is fun and helps promote fitness." "This will be the first time a Northern Illinois Dance For Heart will be held," said Mary Lee Johnson, "and we en­ courage all aerobic dance- exercise classes or individuals to participate." Additional information and registration forms can be ob­ tained by calling the American Heart Association office in Rockford, 963-4381. George Dahrri, chairman of the McHenry County Soil and Water Conservation District, recently shared some of the district's major ac­ complishments. Again this year the district promoted farming without a plow. Forty-three farmers used the District's three no-till corn planters and one no-till drill. With this equipment and the help of three part time technicians to help plant crops directly into corn stalks, bean stubble, and sod, 1,640 acres were planted. Other farmers not using district equipment planted 3,500 acres, bringing the county total to more than 5,000 acres. One of the main concerns of farmers using no-till planters and drills was cutting through crop residues. The district no- till drill cut through miles of stalks without problems but it does not penetrate McHenry County rocks. The drill was sold to a farmer who has no rocks in his fields. Proud as the district is of 5,000 acres of no-till last year, there are still about 60,000 acres which should be no-tilled. No-till help to farmers will be provided for several more years. Part of the no-till program was a half day no-till workshop for 35 farmers. The conservation tour in August drew a crowd of 100 people eager to learn about no-till farming. A tree planting service was used by 13 people, for a soil saving treatment on 42 acres. Last year the district sold 17,700 trees and profits from this fund raiser reached $9,600. The service accomplishes two im­ portant goals. First, it helps add to monies from state and local governments. Also, tree sales put a conservation practice on the land. Orders will be ac­ cepted through March 1. Farm land protection and wise land use was a topic dealt with often during the past 12 months. The district prepared 30 recomendations on zoning changes for the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Natural Resource Inventory reports are advisory in nature, but a stand is taken for farm land protection and wise land use.
