A spokesman for Rima's subdivision and lodge, Robert Schultz. of 2819 S. River road, said they would be willing to contribute money for possible legal action and that Rima's lodge is very concerned about the use of 2,4-D. Mrs. Losch said she tried to get the Conservation department and the U.S. Environmental Protection agency to lorbid the use of 2,4-D but was told they could do nothing because the chemical was legal. She said she complained to the Conservation department, States At­ torney's office and the Secretary of State about Midas Mid-West's methods of operation but w^as only given the run- around. A reporter contJ he did indeed pers^ With Midas Mid-\ again this year fok last year. $1,650. According to Rau. the first treatment is to begin April 1. When asked why he chose chemicals, he said, "The Conservation depart­ ment's chief biologist for our area recommended chemicals and the Midas Mid-West Chemical Co." Rau couldn't remember the biologist's name. When asked about the letter from the Conservation department recom­ mending harvesting the weeds, he said, "The guy who sent that letter was only a ranger ". He indicated that harvesting was out of the question because, "people will part with a few bucks, but they won't do any work.*" Rau said the chemical was perfectly safe, "No fish died from any of the treatments; this is the same thing we put on our lawns to kill weeds." When asked if he knew what effect the chemical might have on the lake's immediate ecological food chain, he said he was aware of what happened to various species of birds because of the use of DDT Rau said. "It's man that screws up nature and the environment, he should leave it alone." Mrs. Losch feels that the favorable response of the property owners desiring to form the GLPA may put enough pressure on Rau to stop the use of 2,4-D However, others at the meeting weren't so optimistic, they felt the matter probably would have to be settled in court. Mrs Hill is willing to take matters into her own hands. She said. "In the meantime, the entrance to Le Villa Vaupell will be picketed April 1, and the Midas Mid-West Chemical truck will not be allowed in the subdivision even if it means our l>eing arrested " CRASH FATAL TO McHENRY MAN (Continued from page 1) McHenry, was taken to McHenry hospital by the Johnsburg Rescue home at 10:50 p.m when he fell off his motorcycle. Bruce Randall Comer, of 802 Ridge, Wauconda, received two tickets following a two-car collision at the intersection of Bull Valley road and Front street last week Comer told police it appeared that a car driven by Dorothy M. Frederick, of 3415 Venice, McHenry, was slowing as it approached the intersection, south­ bound on Front street. The Comer auto proceeded into the intersection and collided with the Frederick vehicle Comer was cited for improper lane usage and driving with an unsafe front tire. Kathleen A. Sanchez, of 1806 N. Riverside drive, McHenry, was heading west on Elm street when she attempted to make a left turn into a parking lot.

MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) his paper to a candidate. He found nothing wrong with selling front page puff stories to a candidate. He felt justified in bundling up his paper as a political press release and then claimed his paper could remain independent The question is, "Can that paper's policies ever be trusted again"" Selling news stories hurts the in­ tegrity of all newspapers, especially those in smaller communities where they can more easily appear to be in league with local politicians This year there has been a particular interest in the nearby village elections. Special issues are evident to the public in some areas; in others the issues are known oitfy" within the community. Our policies have been tested on occasion this year. There are 'firsts', and we find ourselves examining what we have done in the past and making adjustments necessary for new situations. At this point, as a newspaper we feel the trust of those who have reason to believeMhey are being battered by the opposition and through news stories that result from lively community action. In one instance, a Plaindealer reporter has been given a leave of absence until after the election because of a link, sincere as it may be, with one particular dissenting group. This is as it should be if a newspaper is to retain the confidence of its readers. No publication can satisfy everyone with its contents. Maintaining policies that are fair and consistent is all that a reader has a right to expect We have found that fairness and consistency have their rewards, even though they can't assure that everyone who reads the newspaper will be happy. KAF MALIBU AGREEMENT IS APPROVED (Continued from page 1) Nolan said. i The developers have agreed to pay $400 per home in extraordinary an­ nexation fees, according to McHenry Mayor Joseph Stanek. The mayor noted that the developers will donate two lots, one a tot lot and the other next to the well location, to the City of McHenry. Representing the owners, James DeRose and Christopher Lannert said each of the homes would be situated on lots which were 10,000 square feet or greater in size and noted that they anticipated a connection with surrounding developments. The developers commented that they were not seeking any variations from the subdivisidn control ordinance. "We are not trying to sit here and say we don't care," Lannert said. "We are adhering to your prdihances without variation to go with what you want." Alderman Michael Wieser was against the donation of the tot lot and asked. "Do we need it?" ' The consensus of the rest of the council appeared to be in favor of ac­ cepting the donation When the vote was taken to approve the annexation agreement in principle. Aldermen Pepping, Nolan, Harker, Datz. Adams, Schooley and Meurer voted in favor Alderman Wieser voted against on the basis that he opposed the tot lot donation "for the record." The lawyers for both sides will put the annexation agreement in final form, according to the terms discussed Monday night, and present the text for council approval at a meeting in the near future.

Ask Authority To Save RTA Legislation allowing local govern­ ments or citizens to sue the Regional Transportation Authority in any of the sis counties in the R.T.A region has been introduced by Sen Jack Schaffer, R-Cary. "When the R.T.A. was created in 1974, it was provided that a lawsuit against the authority could be brought in Cook county only." Sen Schaffer explained. "There have been occasions since that time when officials in the collar counties, frustrated with the record of performance of the R.T A board, considered seeking legal recourse through the courts "Virtually every time the subject has come up, however, state's attorneys have taken the position it would be useless to challenge the RTA board in the Chicago; court system." Schaffer said. FAMILY SERVICE MEETIl^fe The Family Service & Community Mental Health Center for McHenry County will hold its regular board of directors meeting Wednesday, March 25, at 7:30 p.m. in the Woodstock office, 224 West Judd street, first floor, Woodstock. The public is invited to attend Weatherproof In winter. For the past several winters, many parts of the country have experienced energy shortages. The oil and coal needed to make electricity couldn't be delivered. Rivers were frozen. Stockpiled coal was Irozen solid. The machinery to move coal was frozen As fuel ran low, electricity had to be rationed. Plants and schools were closed People were laid off. Shivering became the national , ^r~| pastime. But not in northern Illinois. It wasn't luck that got Jp SpPpLsa us through those winters, it ™ ' was nuclear power Over 40% of the electricity we make comes from nuclear fuel Because no matter how much it snows or how cold it gets, nuclear fuel is available--weatherproof. Enough uranium to provide all the electricity Commonwealth Edison electricity is made mostly irom abundant cpal and uranium Thai helps tc conserve the scarce fuels oil and natural gas we need for an Illinois winter can be stored in a one car garage In summer. Nuclear power gives us the reliability we need to respond to summer peak demands without brownouts In the last decade, when growth of air conditioning helped increase demand lor electricity more than 35%. Edison's nuclear stations had an unbroken record of summer availability And nuclear power is today's great energy bargain. It costs about a penny and a hall a kilo­ watt hour less than coal and over four cents less than oil. If we'd replaced our uranium with low sulphur western coal in 1980, it would have cost an extra $460,000,000 In fuel expense Using oil or gas instead of uranium would have driven the cost up to almost. 15 billion dollars Instead, the nuclear fuel we used, the equivalent of 46,000,000 barrels of oil. saved over 10% on your electric bill With our strong nuclear capability, we're ready for the weather Let it snow Let it sizzle . • ^ m 4 e Cammcnwealth Ediscn *
