SECTION 2 - PAGE 4-PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 1975 EDITORIALS Lightning Damage The National Safety council has warned that few are concerned over the danger of lightning. Yet one statistician recently determined that during the April- October lightning season, the average person can expect forty to eighty bolts within half a mile. The same statistician claims more than a third of all fires in rural areas are caused by lightning. The safest places in lightning storms are in homes, steel-framed buildings, or in an automobile with windows closed. If in the open, seek a low place, such as a ravine or ditch or lie flat on the ground. One or more Americans areptilled each week by lightning. UNICEF Extends Aid From the drought-parched African Sahel to Bangladesh, the United Nations Children's fund is responding to the needs of * increasing numbers of mothers and children threatened by starvation and disease. In recent months, UNICEF has distributed thousands of tons of high protein foods, vitamins, medical supplies, blankets and shelter materials, and has provided boats and vehicles to get them to areas remote from supply centers. Since last May, when the UNICEF Executive board issued its unprecendented declaration of a World Child emergency, the predicted global food and energy shortages have been compounded by ecological disasters, recurring warfare, and rising inflation in many of the developing countries where immediate aid for malnourished children is desperately needed. To help UNICEF meet extraordinary challenges, the U.S. Committee for UNICEF is conducting a special appeal for funds for the World Child emergency. Asking individuals and groups to "spare a bite to save a life", the committee points out that $1 will provide a year's supply of multi-vitamin tablets for a child in a crisis country and $3 will cover the costs of a child's supplementary food and health services for an entire month. Americans are responding, individually and in groups, to the UNICEF emergency appeal. Churches and schools are scheduling imaginative events to combine fund raising and education for youngsters who may never have missed a meal in their lives. One of the most popular is a "starvation banquet", a simple meal of rice and beans served with water or tea, typifying the diet of much of the developing world. The U.S. committee is supplying ideas and visual aids for other such events. Contributions designated for the World Child emergency may be sent to the U.S. Committee for UNICEF, 331 East 38th Street, New York, N.Y. 10016, or to the local address in communities where a UNICEF office is maintained year-round.

Develop an unique personality, leave their mark on people exposed to them, and then die. When first "born" a Bull market is full of unbridled energy which enables it to run and run never needing to rest and restore its vigor. Its few pauses to look around and take score of what's going on (or up) tend to be very short lived and hardly ever long enough to give those who are not riding it enough time to get comfortably on-board. Our "baby" Bull spent the first four months of 1975 in just such a phase of youthful enthusiasm. And as is usual, most adults (investors) didn't approve of its behavior, stuck to ideas generated by past experiences (our six year Bear market) and missed some great opportunities. It was inevitable that our baby Bull would age and change its personality and this metamorphosis seems to have been going on the past three weeks. The youthful enthusiasm of a young Bull market tends to generate buying interest in almost all stocks regardless of individual cases of greater or lesser merit. Early 1975 witnessed many trading days of fantastically broad advances. As a youth matures into a young adult, he becomes more selective and discriminating as he is gaining knowledge and starting to question things. He now tends to "correct" some of the mistakes or excesses of his youth by rotating his interest from stocks which have been overextended and to stocks which have lagged. This normal correction phase continued last week. Corrections are healthy for the market as they keep the Bull Are You New In McHenry Area ? •••••••••• [ * • * • * * • * • * • • • • • * * * •»»* * * * * * * * * * * * * * roA» > i • Do You Know Someone new?

Know^ / r w Over the past five years, committees of the McHenry County board have been investigating waste disposal in McHenry County. More recently the Waste Disposal committee has been seeking to solve these problems and has purchased an option on a parcel of land. Questions from various sources have been addressed to the committee regarding their work. The committee has responded to these questions so that the public and their officials will be better informed. This is the first of the questions and answers. Others will appear in succeeding issues. 1-How long has the McHenry county government been concerned with waste disposal, and what stimulated them to become active in this area? A-McHenry county government has been concerned for over five years with solid waste disposal. Prior to the fall of 1969, the Health and Agriculture committee of the County board was actively concerned with the waste disposal problem. This committee visited and inspected various types of landfills, incinerators and liquid manure management facilities. In August, 1972, a special committee of the County board was appointed to further investigate the waste disposal situation. A standing committee was appointed in May, 1973, and the present committee was appointed in December, 1974. The city of Woodstock and the county have been cooperating in dealing with the waste disposal problem since October, 1970. The city favorably endorsed the county's active involvement with the problem at their July 18, 1972, City Council meeting. In April, 1971, as part of a County Waste Resources Management plan, a survey of both public and private officials indicated that solid waste problems were the major concerns of both sectors. The McHenry Farm Bureau has expressed serious concern and urged the county government to seek solutions to its waste disposal problems, as early as October, 1973. 2-When were the present Waste Disposal committee members appointed? A-The present Waste Disposal committee members were appointed in December, 1974. The current committee is the outgrowth of a solid waste task force which was appointed in August of 1972, which then became a standing committee in 1973. 3-Why has there been little publicity concerning the activities of the Waste Disposal Committee until recently? A-The Waste Disposal committee has not shunned publicity. All committee meetings, except executive session, are open to the public and the public has actively participated. To name a few instances: The committee met with the Woodstock City Council in January and March, 1973, and again in January, 1975. In August, 1973, a public hearing was held by the Waste Disposal committee at the courthouse. The September and November, 1973, meetings of the Mayors and Managers association had committee presentations. A review of the files of the county's newspapers will reveal that the activities of the committee have been well publicized throughout the county. 4-Why has the committee chosen to investigate a single site in great detail? A-The committee has considered and evaluated many sites in McHenry county (see Phase I and II, of the Bauer Engineering reports). The site selected for detailed soils investigation is not the only site which has been considered. The site now being explored in greater depth has several advantages, which in the judgment of the committee, warrants the necessary expenditure of funds for additional in-depth investigations. 5-Were there real estate appraisals made on the property being considered? A-An appraisal of a portion of the site currently under consideration was performed in June, 1973, by two certified appraisers in McHenry County. 6-Why is the county considering acquiring 214 acres of land when the Phase II report suggests less acreage? A-The committee is concerned with, and intends to work on a comprehensive approach to the county's total waste problem, and therefore, needs a site large enough to accomplish this goal. 7-Why hasn't private industry addressed the county's total waste problem and started comprehensive waste disposal operations? A-Private industry has attempted to start waste disposal sites, but when efforts have been undertaken they have been met with such strong public opposition that zoning petitions have been withdrawn or denied. Private zoning had been sought in Hartland, Richmond and Nunda townships. Therefore, the private sector is not inclined to invest in property and equipment when theytear that the required zoning will not be obtained. Septic tank pumpers are also not inclined to invest in property and facilities when they have no way of knowing that the required zoning will be approved. 8-Today what McHenry county wastes aren't being handled by private haulers and landfill operators within McHenry county? A-l. Over 55 percent of McHenry county generated wastes are leaving McHenry county for, disposal in non-IEPA approved sites outside of the county. 2-No McHenry county landfill has? an IEPA permit allowing it to accept municipal sewage treatment plant sludges. 3-No McHenry county landfill has an IEPA permit allowing it to accept septic pumpings, or agricultural chemical containers or wastes. 4-No McHenry county landfill is permitted to handle diverse wastes generated by all industries located in the county including the wastes generated by air pollution, and waste water treatment equipment. 5-No McHenry county landfill has a permit to accept the wastes generated by the municipal water plants located within the McHenry county. 6-No McHenry county landfill is accepting junk vehicles. 7-The IEPA requires that refuse, sewage treatment sludges, industrial wastes, and residue from water supply treatment facilities be disposed of in a proper fashion and further requires a permit be secured from the IEPA authorizing the site and the disposal method. The IEPA has the authority to control expansions of these facilities if these wastes are not properly handled. 9-What is the need for a county landfill? A-The county has been encouraged by the McHenry County Farm Bureau, the McHenry Soil and Watey Conservation district, the city of Woodstock, the McHenry County Septic Pumpers association, the refuse haulers of McHenry county, the McHenry County Defenders, the McHenry jaunty Improvement association and the Municipal league, to find a solution to the waste disposal problem. This problem effects, the safety and welfare of all of the citizens of the county including thosrin cities and villages. The Waste Disposal committee is aware of the need to provide a facility that: 1. Can handle all the types of wastes generated in the county. 2. That will be accessible to all at an economical cost. 3. Will be visually acceptable. 4. That could prohibit the importing and the disposal of waste from areas outside McHenry county. Since the committee began its investigation of waste disposal problems the IEPA has closed three landfills in McHenry county. These closings have reduced the number of choices for the citizens, industries and municipalities of McHenry county of places to dispose of their wastes, and could lead to a monopolistic situation. There are three private landfills operating in McHenry county at the present time. The Crystal Lake Disposal Landfill in Algonquin township, which reportedly has the highest disposal fees in the state. The Krenz Trucking Landfill in Algonquin township which has a limited life, probably less than a year. The Blazier Landfill, near Harvard is restricted by • zoningtoa service area in western McHenry county, and cannot accept wastes from most of McHenry county. 10-How many McHenry county disposal areas have stopped operations because of enforcement of IEPA sanitary, environmental and-or operating regulations? Since 1972 three McHenry county disposal sites have stopped operation: 1. Marengo Disposal Company Landfill permanently closed in 1972 because of IEPA enforcement of the Illinois Solid Waste Regulations. 2. City of Marefigo disposal area. Permanently closed by action of the City Council in December, 1974, in light of pending enforcement hearings by the IEPA. 3. City of Woodstock Landfill. Permanently closed Jan. 1,1975, by action of the City Council in light of pending enforcement hearings by the IEPA. 4. Krenz Trucking Company Landfill, closed in January, 1975, by the owner pending the outcome of an IEPA enforcement hearing, but has reopened with a limited life expectancy. Do you know why the first big drops of athundershower are usually so widely scat tered? Have you ever noticed this at the beginning of a thundershower? The first drops of a thun- dershower, falling from the summer cumulonimbus, must fall through a very strong up- draft, which is always pres- from overextending its energies and suffering a premature death. The emerging character of this Bull looks classic~the dominant trend still strongly upward but not as vigorous as before, more selective, and more subject to pullbacks. As the Bull seems far from old age, these pullbacks provide buying opportunities. As time passes and some of the currently unknowns-the outlook for the credit market, inflation in 1976, the strength of the new business cycle-become a bit clearer, the market will again develop a new personality which will give signs of whether it remains strong or is struggling. For the moment, let's enjoy-let others worry about the market getting old as that will tend to keep the Bull youthful.

For this reason, the total charge for funeral service is related to the cost of the casket selected, but is not solely determined by it. The average cost of the above services per funeral tar exceeds the cost of the casket. Respectfully, % PETER MJUSTEN & SON .FUNERAL HOME McHenry, Illinois 385-0063
