Michael Tryon, of Clark Outdoor Spraying, Roselle, said a change started in the last couple of years was being carried on this year as well. That change is the focusing of mosquito abatement techniques on the larval mosquito. Of the four life stages of the mosquito--egg, larvae, pupae and adult--the larva and adult stages are the targets of mosquito abatement. New techniques in larviciding in­ clude the use of a particular strain of Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT), a bac­ terium well known to McHenry residents because of the Gypsy moth fight two years ago. New develop­ ments have occurred in the use of BT, including a delayed release of the bacteria. Another method involves the use of synthetic materials, insecticides. In some areas, minnows which feed on the phenomenal numbers of larvae are brought in and stocked in and standing water breeding Tryon noted that us this year? Much more anyone woid&tfuess if we can judge by "A Taste of Fiesta" provided for the media in Pearl street park last week. There was an abundance of tasty food from some of the city's restaurants which will be providing treats for Food Fiesta during the big 10-day event. And there were en­ tertainers - all young and with an abundance of talent. They will be featured on Theme night. The first of the advance events with a direct bearing on Fiesta Days will be the naming of a new Miss McHenry to reign over festivities. She will be selected from an assemblage of lovely young ladies at Parkland school June 29. For a bit of nostalgia, past queens will be especially honored that night and the public is invited to greet them as they witness the impressive event. On Fiesta Days there will be inside and outside sidewalk sales for shoppers. And for athletes, the field of events runs the gamut from a tennis tourney to a football jamboree, with many other events sandwiched in between. The committee and chairmen in charge have wisely scheduled those special nights that have consistently drawn large crowds. Square dancing, Banjo Beer night, and Concert in the Park are just a few of the attractions. Fiesta Days may be a full month in the future, but the people setting the ion for its necessary. Fogging is the most controversial fef the techniques and involves the chemical Malathion. He said Malathion was used from both an economic and a safety standpoint. A standard of the in­ dustry, Tryon said the chemical was widely used because its toxicity is low. Aid. Frank McClatchey commented that the adulticide program was a waste. •'?. ;i "Adulticlding has become an issue for some people," Tryon said. "You (the council) nave to listen and make up your minds." He commented that the program for 1963 would be an integrated one, combining both larviciding and adulticiding techniques. "The urogram is integrated. We've never had any complaints about larval mosquitoes. We've had hun­ dreds of complaints about the adults. ' • "" • " - ' ' -vy Postpone Action On "Island" Annexation Fogging is the most effective measure at this point," he said in defense of adulticiding. Tryon reiterated that the lar­ viciding techniques would be the focus of the 1963 program and pointed out that fogging is, at best, only tem­ porary relief. Aid. Cecilia Serritella (4th) com­ plained that the abatement program does not do the job and said McHenry was the only community in the area with the program. Tryon pointed out that nearly all communities in the county had some type of abatement program, with the possible exception of Harvard, which is one of the highest spots in the county and has few breeding places. "Woodstock and Crystal Lake both have abatement programs with larviciding being the primary ob­ jective," Tryon said. "Woodstock has (Conttmiod on peg* 22) machinery in motion were getting their ideas in place months ago.-Like any event of this magnitude which is successful, the undertaking requires patience and planning, good ideas, cooperation, and most of all, a willingness to' convert leisure time into work time. The Chamber of Commerce, the City of McHenry, organizations and individuals long ago proved their desire to assure' that all of these are done so that residents of the com­ munity and visitors can enjoy a festival that cannot be surpassed. The results have been a period in the summer vacation season that is an­ ticipated by thousands. McHenry, with its approximately 12,000 residents, suddenly becomes very important on the map. One month before the opening ac­ tivities, the spirit of the event is beginning to permeate the city. Reunions 6f families and friends are planned, and there is keen an­ ticipation of the treats that await us. Maybe more than any other event at any time of year, Fiesta Days promote a spirit that results in wholesome fun, as well as providing a big boost for the community we call home. KAF by Anthony .Oliver The McHenry City Council put off action on the forced annexation of any "islands," for at least two weeks, because no one felt strongly enough to be the prime, mover in such a measure. The islands are tracts of land bordered on either all four sides by the city, or on three sides by the city and the fourth side by a body of water. State law provides that a municipality can annex tracts in this situation if they are less than 60 acres in size. McHenry Mayor Joseph Stanek brought the measure to the council floor, noting that if anything was to be done, it would have to be done in the near future. Stanek said, "I came away (from the public hearing) feeling that we don't owe them anything. I would not consider Lakewood (subdivision) or the McHenry Shores lots." The mayor was interested in seeing some areas--those near Knox park, St. Paul's avenue and St. Mary's cemetery and adjoining commercial area on Richmond road--come Into the city. He said a lot of services were available to residents of these areas, who were not paying taxes to support them. "Why not all of them?" asked Aid. Frank McClatchey (3rd). Aid. Edward Datz (2nd) explained that some of the areas would require much in the way of road and utility construction in order to meet city standards. City Attorney Bernard Narusis pointed out that the forced annexation parcel would come into the city under one of the single-family residential classifications, regardless of the use. Narusis said the annexation would not wipe out previous zoning, but would limit future use of the property. "Doe3 that restrict expansion?" asked Aid. Ray Smith (3rd). Hie attorney said annexation would prevent the adding of another use on the property, but would not prevent the owner from expanding an existing use. Smithsaid he felt annexation should ipclude all or none of the parcels in question. "I think all encircled properties should be in the city," Smith said. "If it's all or nothing, I would prefer to leave them out," Stanek said. The mayo: noted that city services rarely impact some of the areas, but in others, police and public works have to continually go through, water lines were extended, etc. "I think we should make a decision now, or at the next meeting at the latest," Stanek said. Smith called for some idea of the costs involved with the annexation. "I don't like annexing something and then coming in with the costs. It's not the same situation as if they had asked to be annexed," Smith said. "Let's do nothing if no one feels strongly enough to be the prime mover/' Stanek said.

Tax Payment Extension The Internal Revenue Service has announced that it is granting to all • payers of interest and dividend income an automatic one-month extension of the requirement to withhold tax scheduled to begin July 1. The automatic one-month extension is being granted to alleviate any undue hardship to payers. This week's action is being taken in light of the June 16 Senate action to repeal the withholding provisions which were enacted by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1962. The IRS noted that there has been no final action concerning repeal. The Congress Continues to consider expanded backup withholding and other compliance measures. All In A Day's Work Chalk up a win for wildlife! The McHenry County Conservation district rehabilitation center in Woodstock this past week recorded its first successful effort to save the life of a fawn after its mother was struck by a car. The mother, which suffered two broken legs, had to be destroyed. Sally Joosten, director of wildlife at the center, said the accident occurred on Rt. 173, just outside Harvard. Immediately, plans were set in motion to save the deer. At 2:30 in the Mikey, a fawn bora after the death of his mother in a highway accident, shows appreciation to Sally Joosten, director of wildlife at the McHenry County Conservation district's Wildlife Rehabilitation center. Ms. Joosten bottle feeds the youngster and provides other care that would normally be provided by the mother. STAFF PHOTO - ANTHONY OLIVER- morning Dr. Lloyd Shaw was sum­ moned to perform surgery. The buck fawn made his way into the world successfully, but the mother's injuries were determined too serious to save. Weighing between 6 and 7 lbs. at birth, Mikey has been visited by several of the officers who were at the accident scene. Ms. Joosten said he will be raised at the center, where he is being confined to a small area and bottle fed regularly. She was excited as she explained that this is the first of the tragic highway accidents in the county in which a young decs* sur­ vived. Present plans call for keeping the fawn at the center until mid-fall, when it will probably be placed in an estate type setting until it is well able to care for itself. In the meantime, Ms. Joosten said Mikey thinks she is his mother, a fallacy she has not bothered to correct.
