Nord told police he was northbound on Rt. 31 when he saw an oncoming vehicle begin to cross the center line. He added that he attempted to avoid it by turning toward the road shoulder, but the oncoming car continued across his lane and contact was made. According to Nord, Ms. Colovin did not immediately stop after the accident, and he followed her to Algonquin, where the report was made. Police indicated that charges are pending in a two-vehicle accident Friday on Manor lane. The accident was reported by Clarence A.

According to the plans the vehicles will be using their red lights and no sirens and will obey all traffic regulations. Molla Haugen, R.N. Emergency Medical Services coordinator for the State of Illinois assigned to the trauma center at McHenry hospital, is coordinating the securing of casualties. She said they would include high school students, e m e r g e n c y m e d i c a l technicians (EMT), EMT's in training, paramedics and other volunteers. "We will be testing our Advance Life Support system which is the latest rural Mobile Intensive Care unit (MICU) program in the country", according to Ms. Haugen. Phil Parker, president of the McHenry county Firemen's association said that a general critique of the entire day will be held Monday, Oct. 17, at Fox River Grove. This will be in conjuction with the regular monthly meeting of the association. Slides and pictures of the disaster activities will be shown and comments accepted from those who participated. Most members of the Operation Update committee will be present A p p r o x i m a t e l y 1 0 0 volunteers from McHenry Emergency Services and Disaster agency (MCESDA) will be used to transport victims and officials to the area of involvement. Most of these volunteers have equipped their vehicles with two-way radios. According to Director Shay, the auxiliary deputies and auxiliary police will be used to direct traffic at the necessary intersections. These volunteers are under the direct control of Sheriff Art Tyrrell. During an actual disaster all county deputies would be call in and the auxiliary would work with them. SELF-SERVICE QAS JSJ/ftTlpNS- , WHERE ARE THEY? (Continued from page 1) Koepke, station operator, is presently converting one of his islands to self-service. He explained that, although he isn't certain, self-service islands might mean as much as six or seven cents a gallon difference in price. He also said that there is a lot more to converting to self-service than just putting up a sign. It has to be done with the consent of the fire department, blueprints are needed... "there's really a lot of rigamarole," Koepke noted. The other station which is in the process of turning to self- service islands is Checker, south of McHenry. Station Manager Kevin Wright said that he hasn't been told about what kind of reduced prices will be given on the self- service pumps. Not everyone in town is converting to self-service. One that isn't is Panos Photopoulos, who owns Millstream Union 76. "We believe in giving ser­ vice," he said. "I don't believe in self-service. When its fifteen degrees below zero, will you v want lit conic out of your car to pump gasoline?" There are other objectors. Richard Mercure of Oaks Marathon said. "If we drop our prices any lower, we'll be selling it at less than our cost. But the biggest opponent of self-service gas stations ap­ pears to be Richard Hester, owner of the Hester Oil Com­ pany, and a familiar name in McHenry for years. Hester still owns the Elm Street Service station, and in commenting on self-service, he said: "It's not proven out as great as other people let you believe. You still have a certain amount of overhead. I've been in the business for forty years, and five years from now, if 30 percent of the gas stations are self-service, that will be about what I figure." Hester is an independent operator, and he believes that the independents are in the best position right now. "There are guys in town operating on a margin of two cents a gallon," he said. Hester owns his own equipment, and calls himself the only real "indep­ endent" in town. He noted that a company in Wisconsin converted eighteen stations to the self-service, quik-mart, type of operation, but has since returned all but six of them to full service. "It's a new feature, and some places are going real well," Hester said. "But there's one thing you can quote me on. In the gasoline industry, we have the worst mortality rate of any industry in the United States." Hester attributes that fact partially to the major oil companies, who "won't let them (station operators) make any money." Part of the problem lies in the prices which are charged for gasoline. Hester said that Koepke's Standard is about the only station in town that is getting what it should for a gallon of gasoline. "And Standard's unique. The others don't have that acceptance," Hester noted. Koepke's Standard present pump price is 70.9 for one gallon of regular gasoline. Why is there such a fluc­ tuation in gasoline prices, not only within the city, but right across the street from one another? That question, and others will be examined Friday. PROMISE HEARING ON SEWAGE (.Cont'auei from page 1) or deny <<a permit which is required before the outfall sewer can be constructed. The debate has arisen because an original plan to discharge effluent was changed. The original plan called for the discharge to be in the middle of Pistakee lake. That was not allowed because the discharge would not satisfy the effluent and water quality standards of the Illinois Pollution Control board. The Illinois Environmental Protection agency (IEPA) then recommended direct discharge of the effluent at the outlet of Pistakee lake into the Fox river. The recommendation was made because standards for effluent discharged into a river are lower than those for a lake because a river is a moving body of water. Hanahan has taken the position that the Fox river above the dam is really 'Lake McHenry', and not a legitimate flowing river. Hanahan and Schaefer both noted that the emission of polluted effluent into the river will leave the state with two options. Either the gates will be opened to assured a Open For Jlunch. 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. 2 LUNCH SPECIALS Monday thru Friday Open For [Î Lnncx 4 p.m. Mon.-Sat. 1 p.m. Sun. 2 DINNER SPECIALS Fish Fry - All You Can Eat I Dxicluu <zAfite.

According to llanahan and Schaefer, neither choice Js a desirable one. They stated that opening the gates to create a water flow will necessarily lower the water level of the surrounding lakes and river, thereby making it impossible for recreational use. They thai agreed that by not opening the gates, there is no water flow, meaning that the river is, in reality, a lake. Since the effluent is too polluted to be dumped into Pistakee lake, they asked, how can it be clean enough to dump into 'Lake McHenry'? Whatever the case, McHenry county residents argued successfully that, without a hearing being held, they would have no voice in regulations of the outfall sewer, or in any problems that might develop. Persons living along the river believe that the quality of the water being dumped should be so treated that it would be acceptable for dumping into the lake. Otherwise, they believe, McHenry county should not have to accept the effluent. The Division of Water Resources, last month indicated that the village of Fox Lake has sold bonds for the construction of the facility, and is proceeding with the building of the sewer plant. However, no construction on the outfall is taking place at this time. With the granting of public hearings on the matter, it is not known when, or if, the outfall will be constructed. No dates have yet been announced for the public hearings, although Hanahan mentioned the possibility of using the Johnsburg Community clubhouse as the site for the meetings. Hanahan also requested that all meetings be held at night so that persons who work may attend. Allow Home Repairs Without Increased Tax Assessment Legislation to allow up to $7,500 in repairs and maintenance to residential property in a ten-year period without an increase in tax assessment has been signed by Governor James R. Thompson. "This bill (House Bill 2195) is to help encourage people to maintain their residential property and that is a good concept, if it can be done," Thompson said. If renovation or remodeling occur, however, the bill would not prevent an accompanying boost in assessed valuation, Thompson said. Sponsors of the measure were Rep. Rolland F. Tipsword, Taylorville, and Sen. Don Wooten, Rock Island.

Portner indicated that the Symonds auto was in the eastbound lane of traffic when the accident occurred. The cause of the accident is still under investigation by the McHenry county Sheriff's police Accident Investigation unit. STATE BAR POSITION Carole K.
