GO-AHEAD FOR DEVELOPMENT (Continued from I) Expressing some consternation at the amount of tickets issued by the Police department, Alderman Elizabeth Nolan voted against a measure that makes it a ticketable offense to back into diagonal parking stalls. In suite of her objection, the motion passed/ In the same vote, the Council aMthonzed the posting (no tickets) of municipal parking lots for no backing into stalls. Alderman Ronald Meurer brought up the subject of junk cars, saying there were 54 in lakeland Park alone and be noted that the ordinance says the City can do nothing for six months. City Attorney Narusis said he thought the six-month limit was set by state statute and told the Council he would check on it. The Council also decided to put in 7- foot culverts and fill at the site of the connection between Oak street in Lakeland Park and Industrial drive. OBJECT TO COUNTY FUNDING FOR RTA (Continued from page 1) area. Buss continued to say that it costs $2,100,000 to subsidize less than 2 percent of the people, who usually, he added, earn more than the average citizen living in the county. After about an hour and a half of conversation, the RTA set Dec. 11 as the date for a meeting in Johnsburg. The board passed the annual levy which will account for $6,123,655. The largest amounts produced will be used for General fund purposes, $1,094,352; and Illinois Municipal Retirement fund, $1,009,400. A look at the two figures prompted Buss to comment, "Don't say we don't care about our employees". Other funds were as follows: $16,450,County Audit fund purposes; $6,873, Bogardus •(veterans' Assistance); $367,548, Election; $36,217, Emergency Services & Disaster agency; $94,394; Assessment; $69,867, Mapping; $61,721, Property Record System; $93,425, Tort Judgment & Liability; $125,000, Workmen's Com­ pensation; $40,000, Unemployment Insurance; $204,754, Costs of Extending and Collecting Taxes; $755,000, High­ way; $370,000, County Bridge; $767,207, Mental Health; and $11,447, Tuber­ culosis Administration. In zoning matters, the board overruled a recommendation of the Zoning board to grant a request of Hugh, Dorothy, William and Elizabeth Kirk to reclassify McHenry township property from "A-l" Agricultural district to "R-l" Single Family Residential district. The board's decision was based on the belief that one of the major com­ plaints - traffic safety because of ingress and egress being restricted to one road - would be solved. Ed Buss moved that the board recommend that the Public Building commission offer $950,000 to the owner of the courthouse plaza building at 666 Russel court, (the glass house) at Woodstock. He said he didn't believe there should be an expansion program at the1 courthouse. The glass house had long been under consideration for purchase but discarded as not feasible recently. The vote on Buss' motion failed to pass. The report of the Planning and Zoning committee was accepted. This included giving the name of Lewis lane to a non-dedicated road connecting Pitzen road with River Terrace drive. The board passed two resolutions. One authorized $3,500,000 for Industrial Revenue bonds to Kenosha Beef, Hebron, and the other $2,500,000 for Industrial Building Revenue bonds to Dean Foods company, Huntley. Resolutions were presented to six retiring board members, including Charles Weingart and Donald Doherty of McHenry.

Elm Street (Rte. 120-Across the Street from Hornsby's) (815) 344-3900 The Citizens Concerned for the En­ vironment of McHenry have been awarded the 1900 Theta award. The award, presented by the McHenry County Defenders, was given to the group for their efforts in controlling the gypsy moth without using the con­ troversial Sevin spray. Approximately 60 people viewed the presentation of the Theta award Nov. 23, at the Lakeland Park Community house in McHenry. The Citizens Concerned for the En­ vironment is a group of McHenry citizens living within the area which was to be sprayed with Sevin-4-oil, a chemical they considered not adequately tested for its effects on humans. Concerned about the in­ voluntary exposure of adults and children to this chemical pesticide, the group was organized to prevent this exposure. Due to the efforts of the Citizens for the Environment, alternatives to the spraying of the area with Sevin-4-Oil were implemented. The alternatives included the use of burlap larval traps placed on 300 trees. In addition to the trapping, two aerial sprayings were made of Bacillus Thuringiensis, a bacteria that attacks the intestinal tract of caterpillars. The Citizens Concerned for the En- viornment provided labor for the trappings and financed and applied two ground sprayings of the same bacteria on trees known to have been harboring the caterpillars. As a result of the past summer's joint effort by the group and the Department of Agriculture, the intensive trapping resulted in the trapping of 84 male gypsy moths. An egg survey by the Department of Agriculture showed no egg masses this Fall. This compares with 15 egg masses found last Fall. Representatives of the group are now formulating plans for next year's work, for the Department of Agriculture has recommended that biological controls again be used in McHenry. Mike Teta, spokesman for the group, thanked the many members of the community who worked with him. Teta said that the U.S. Department of Agriculture is preparing an en­ vironmental impact statement for gypsy moth suppression and regulatory activities. Citizens Concerned for the Environment is preparing Information and data that it has collected as a result of the Summer's work in McHenry and will be providing this information to the Department of Agriculture. <rWe've demonstrated," Mike Teta said, "that there is an alternative to Sevin-4 Oil that is safe, en­ vironmentally sound, and just as, if not more effective in dealing with the gypsy moth problem. Since biological controls are recommended by the Department of Agriculture for McHenry for next year," he said, "we certificates to (left to right) Janet Watklns, Diane Kappen, Donna Shanahan, Mike Shanahan, Mike Teta, Pat Shanholtser, Pat Buhrman and Bill Buhrman. plan to continue "the good working relationship developed with federal and state officials. Since this is a com munity effort we hope that city officials of McHenry will also realize the worth of our efforts and join with us and give us their support." The framed certificate of the Theta award presented to each member of the group reads, in part: "Trie McHenry County Defenders honor the Citizens Concerned for the Environment and all those who worked with them in their efforts to insure that the people of McHenry are not deliberately exposed to one more potentially hazardous chemical. At the same time this group proved that with a lot of hard work, cooperation and dedication, biological controls used simultaneously can be effective in controlling the gypsy moth." Floodplain Meeting Set At Spring Grove The Division of Water Resources of the Illinois Department of Tran­ sportation urges all residents of the Spring Grove floodplain to attend a public meeting on the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2, at the townahip hall. Representatives from the Federal Insurance administration and from the firm that prepared a study on Spring Grove's floodplain will explain the National Flood Insurance program and its impact on the community. Included in the study are the most recent maps and other data delineating the flood- plain areas where the National Flood Insurance program rules apply. Preliminary draft copies of the study are currently available at the town hall for review by the public. The study and the maps will be thoroughly explained at the meeting and everyone will have a chance to comment on them. The National Flood Insurance Cram provides federally subsidized I insurance to residents provided that the village board enacts regulations which control future con­ struction in the floodplain. Federal law requires applicants for mortgages, home improvement loans, or other property-related loans in a floodplain, to purchase a floodplain insurance policy. Since the National Flood Insurance Program affects insurance, con­ struction ana loans, the Division of Water Resources suggests that In­ surance agents, contractors, land developers, bankers and realtors, as well as residents, attend this public meeting.
