Conference On Gravel Controversy PAGE 19 - PLAIXDEALER-FRIDAY. APRIL 8. 1977 'The .Great Gravel Con­ troversy" is a continuing saga of struggle between citizens of McHenry county and the gravel industry. Is the county fairly com­ pensated for possible loss of natural resources such as water, farmland, wildlife and woodlands0 Why is "the law" seemingly so slow to deal with violators of county zoning regulations on gravel operations" The McHenry County Defenders say these and other pertinent questions must be considered seriously if residents wish to protect and preserve all natural resources including the one that is the source of the controversy - gravel. Because McHenry county is the largest producer 'of this resource in Illinois, its value, management and the after­ effects of production will be discussed in depth at an all-day conference sponsored by the Defenders, scheduled for Saturday, April 30, at Central school in Crystal Lake, McHenry avenue at Paddock street. The conference will feature fact-finding sessions to provide background, question and answer periods, and workshops to discuss specific topics from .isM'vsments to zoning. Those .uending will add their suggestions, increase un­ derstanding and begin positive dialogue among gravel pit operators, residents and governmental bodies. Industry representatives, including those actively engaged in reclamation as well as mining, will present economic data and will discuss the possibilities in rehabilitating areas to support wildlife and recreational uses. Government officials at many levels, including state legislators, represetnatives of the EPA, Department of Mines and Minerals, and municipal and county planning agencies, will discuss such issues as licenses permits and regulations, enforcement procedures and the economic impact of tax and assessment policies. Geological background and possible legal ramifications will be provided by experts from the Illinois State Geological Survey, Illinois Institute of Technology and the McHenry County State's At­ torney's office.

Possession of more than thirty grams is a Class IV felony, and if convicted, Grande could face a jail sen­ tence of one-to-three years, and a fine of up to $10,000. McHenry police Sgt. Robert Zujewski made the arrest, which stemmed from an in­ cident between Grande and a girl in front of the police station. While on routine patrol, Zujewski observed Grande yelling at a girl in front of the station. Grand apparently wanted his clothes out of the girl's car. Zujewski asked the girl if Grande's clothes were in the car, and she allegedly said yes. She apparently also intimated that there was a bag of a controlled substance in the car, and the officer discovered the bag containing more than thirty grams of a substance containing cannabis. Grande was taken to county jail, where bond was to be set Thursday morning by a judge. His arrest Wednesday night was the second incident Grande was involved in during the past week. Over the weekend he was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, after creating a disturbance at Rhino's restaurant. Bond on the disorderly conduct charge was set at twenty-five dollars. * • * * The "more pay for less work" idea has a counter­ part in "more profits for less goods."
