t PAGE IS • PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, JULY If. lttl HOSPITAL PASSES SECOND HURDLE (Continued from page 1) of McHenry county, noted that the McHenry City Council had entered into a tentative agreement with the hospital to authorize the issuance of $25 million in industrial development bonds. The tension and expectation of the audience mounted as a roll call vote was taken, but when it was over a three- vote difference decided the matter in favor of McHenry hospital. The final decision Will be made in early August in Chicago at a meeting of the Illinois Health Facilities Planning board, where hospital officials will make their case with affirmative recommendations from the board and the project review committee. MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) It may tJsrwT been a sign of the economic times, but it was good. Each float had its cheering section, and everyone had a chance until the votes were counted. Park programs were super for the quality offered and for the hometown spirit they generated. Friends met friends they hadn't conversed with for years, and strangers became friends just because they were standing side by side and felt inclined to tell the next closest person they were having fun and wanted them to share their enthusiasm. Drum Corps Magic, as always, of­ fered more than met the eye. There was color and there was brilliant sound, but there was more than that. Given just a smattering of background, it becomes apparent that the real value of these performances comes before entry onto the field. Courage, firm resolution and pathos - each plays its part. Sitting behind a couple from New London, Ontario, we learned that their 20-year-old son had been a member of the Cavaliers for two years. At first, he flew from his native Canada to par­ ticipate. Only last April did he come to Illinois to live until drum corps season is at an end for 1981. The cost of participation? The young man has been working to contribute $4,000 a year because membership in the corps is that important to him. Now he has dreams of a college degree in music and a career as a drum corps judge. The father commented, "When they get to be 18, 19 and 20, you know where they are when they join a corps". That parent also knows the kind of discipline involved and the character builder it can be. The same couple pointed to a young bugler on field who held his horn with his left hand because the right arm was missing. They also gave a big hand tb the 12-~ year-old cerebral palsy victim from another corps who never missed a beat as he kept up with his fast moving friends. The boy was on crutches, and according to his followers, had a deteriorating condition which failed to deter him from going on. It had been several years since we attended one of these shows. The spectacle on field, and the story behind the participants, were in themselves an important reason for Drum Corps Magic to be a finale of Fiesta Days. Monday morning, as McHenry settled into routine, there must have been some appreciative thoughts. They most certainly should have extended to the Chamber office crew and to City Hall, where a Parks & Recreation director, police and street personnel were back to daily duties after a week in which they successfully served thousands.

For G VEIL Moths Most Beautiful Barrel Trapping Program In Progress Traps containing a synthetic sex attractant are being used to catch male gypsy moths in McHenry and other parts of the Chicago area so officials can determine the growth of existing infestations and discover new out­ breaks of this tree-damaging pest. The traps are part of a cooperative program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Illinois Department of Agriculture to prevent the moth from becoming further established in Illinois. They were placed in six counties near Chicago before July 10 and will be collected in late August. "We want to locate any new gypsy moth infestations as early as possible and determine the density of the gypsy moth population in areas where we have found them before in order to plan for future treatment," said Lynn Oglesby, who is supervising the program for USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection service. The traps are being placed at rates of 32 traps per square mile in sections of Cook, DuPage, Lake, McHenry and Will counties thought to have resident gypsy moth populations. Other parts of these counties, as well as sections of Kane county, will be trapped at a less intensive rate of nine traps per square mile. "We're depending on the cooperation of the citizens of these counties to leave the traps intact," Oglesby said. "Every time we lose a trap, we lose information about the particular area." "Some citizens have expressed concern that the traps will draw gypsy moths to their property and cause damage to their trees," Oglesby said. "This shouldn't worry homeowners because the traps only attract male gypsy moths and the pests do not feed in the moth stage, but only in the cater­ pillar stage. Female gypsy moths cannot fly." The gypsy moth has four life stages - egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (cacoon) and moth. It has one generation a year, overwintering in egg masses attached to trees, stones, walls, logs and other outdoor objects. Each gypsy moth egg mass contains up to 1,000 eggs and is covered with buff or yellowish hairs. Depending on weather and location, eggs are laid between July and Sep­ tember. Hie delta-shaped cardboard traps are about seven inches long, four inches wide and five inches tall. They are generally brown or orange colored and are attached to the trunks of trees at cheat level. Each trap contains a one inch by one-eighth inch strip of plastic with a synthetic sex attractant, or pheromone, on it. The interior of the trap is coated with a sticky substance that traps male moths attracted to it. Leaf-eating gypsy moth caterpillars stripped a record 5.1 million acres of forests in 1980, mainly in the nor­ theastern states, at a cost of millions of dollars. Artificial spread of the insect - primarily through its egg masses - concerns authorities the most. The pest is spread artificially throughout the country primarily by traveling on outdoor household goods, shrubs, trees, firewood, recreational vehicles and mobile homes moved between states or within a state. Richmond Plans For Country-Western Day The Richmond Merchants association, along with other com­ munity groups, are planning a country- western day, Richmond Round Up day, Aug. 29.

We're even going to have horses tied to the hitch-up rings that have been imbedded in the village's sidewalks since the 1800's. The highlight of the day's events will be a dinner dance at the Hunter Country club, 5419 Kenosha street in Richmond. The dance will feature a country western band and a Dolly Parton look-a-like contest. For ticket information contact Michael Caplan, 815-678-4245.

John Miller, owner of Main Paint, has been presented with the award for "Most Beautiful Barrel" contest winner by the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce. Presentation was made by Fran Olsen, C. of C. executive director, and co-chairman of the McHenry Beautification committee. Fifty-four barrels were distributed by the McHenry Beautification committee to any merchant promising to care for the flowers planted therein by the many members of the MBC, Girl Scouts, McHenry Garden club and Whispering Oaks Garden club. Each barrel owner was alloted one ballot to vote for the best-looking barrel in town at the onset of Fiesta Days. The over-whelming choice of the voters was Main Paint. Owner John Miller not only planted his own barrels and donated to cover their cost, but also painted them to match his building decor. The extraordinary response by the community to the MBC efforts has been most rewarding. Additional barrels will be available at no charge next year with the same stipulation, that the recipient assume full responsibility for caring for the flowers once they have been planted. Barrel reservations can ^ be made by calling the Chamber office " at 385-4300.
