As the war in the Persian Gulf continues, so do the support and concern of the people in Huntley.  Our community response becomes like a chain of information, each link leading to another development.
As hoped, last week's feature helped to reveal more of the Huntley story to tell.
Former resident, Ray Cutrier, commands a transportation unit in Saudia Arabia.  Cutrier and his wife, Dorothy, lived in Knoll Top subdivision in Huntley nine years before moving to Algonquin.
Donald Strickland shipped over to Saudi last August. He is a jet mechanic working
on the F-15'8.   Strickland is the son of Roberta Strickland, an employee at Huntley Pharmacy.
Kenneth Morey, son-in-law of Dennis and Carroll Foutch of Huntley, is also serving in the Persian Gulf.  He is a lieutenant stationed in Ray Cutrier's unit.
Mike Reynolds, pictured in
last week's feature, fortunately has not shipped out to the Persian Gulf. Reynolds, who is a jet mechanic, injured his back six months ago and is waiting on a surgery decision.
Huntley Girl Scouts Junior Troop #134 made a paper crane-chain in dedication to Huntley service people. The cranes which are the symbol for peace, are displayed in Huntley Grade School.
Huntley High School collected about 25 Valentines for Wonderlake Coldwell Banker to send to American troops in the Persian Gulf.
In tribute and support of our troops Trish Wojdyla made a patriotic display of yellow ribbon bunting and American flags in front of Brookdale Graphics/Huntley Village Stationer on Main Street in Huntley. Wojdyla says she hopes her display will inspire other businesses in Huntley to do the same.
As our country enters its third week of Operation Desert Storm, the need to continue follow up on Huntley's response to the Gulf War becomes essential to our understanding as a conununity of these events.

Village Offers True Facts On Sewage Treatment Plant Capacity^
By Jay Krauss, Village Administrator
The January 25, 1991 edition of the Courier Newspaper carried an article entitled "Huntley Already Pushing EPA's Wastewater Limits." The article essentially indicated that in spite of the Village's recent sewage treatment plant expansion, the plant was already approaching the maximum capacity permissible under Illinois Environmental Protection Agency regulations. Due to inaccuracies contained
in this article, the Village would like to provide the following so residents receive factual information regarding the Village's sewage treatment operations.
In 1989 the Village awarded a construction contract for upgrading the plant capacity of its sewage treatment plant. The original plant had a treatment capacity of 300,000 gallons per day. Upon completion the upgraded plant
capacity was to be 610,000 per day. During construction, the Village was placed on the EPA's restricted status list since the plant was receiving a raw sewage in volumes greater than those permissible under EPA standards.
In November, 1990 the EPA removed the Village plant from its restricted status list. This decision was the result of EPA field inspections verifying that the majority of
the plant improvements had been completed and that the plant was operating within permissible EPA standards. At the time this decision was made the plant was capable of treating a daily load of 410,000 gallons, but was only receiving 68.2% of this capacity.
At the time the field inspection was made, a number of components from the
