Photo Credit - Don Kaiser By Mary Nelson As the director of Helping Paws it is my very sad duty to report that after eight years of hard work and dedication to service for our community, we are financially unable to cont|nue our work as before after the first of next year. We are opening our store on Aug. 26 in a "last ditch" effort to promote income to keep us going. Inflation has hit us harder than most organizations because our expenses are so high and the contributions have not come in to meet those bills. Our continuous plea to help finance a shelter was not just a dream that we wanted to come true in order to make HP bigger and better. The reason was to save some of the 1,716 dogs and cats euthanized last year (and a greater number than that so far this year due to county expansion) in just our McHenry county alone. Don't blame Animal Control for the number, they do the best they can, but suffer from the same problem the entire country does...too many dogs and cats and not enough people to adopt them. Now we, too, have fallen victim to financial woes. Not even a good response to our Christmas plea will help for long. We need substantial money and NOW. We are not/ spendthrifts and none of us tak< from the programs to benefit our own pocketbooks...a financial statement is available upon request. We welcome your visit to our store on Aug. 26 at 465 Virginia street (Route 14) in Crystal Lake between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. We need to see you and talk to you about our efforts and our failures to continue without emergency help. To those of you we helped with $6,000 two years ago when we paid half of anyone's bill for spaying or neutering of their pets, a special plea to return the favor now if you are able. Many of you could afford to do it on your own at the time but didn't, now you can help us or we no longer can help them. Remember McHenry Tag day, Aug, 25, It brings in much needed money. Ill be there in front of Hornsby in McHenry at 10 aon. If you would like to help out and give an hour or so of you* Ume, please meet me there. We will be out no later than 3 p.m. and you can give as much of that time during those hours as you can. For further information, please call our office between 10-4 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 459- 2641.

Perspective Vr ENERGY SOLUTIONS ByRONALDREAGAN ^iHltiil'i - > uiwni.AKUWOt.M, UK Host Families Needed > For Exchange Program-4 Franklin county, Mass., has 60,000 people and is largely rural. Not much unusual about that, but what is unusual about Franklin county is that it may be the first in the nation to have completed a detailed inventory of its energy use. The results were eye-opening. Like most of New England, Franklin county has no petroleum, coal, or uranium. Except for one dydroelectric plant on the Connecticut river and some local wood burning, the county imports all of its energy. This fact led a group of local businessmen, students and other citizens, working with the University of Massachusetts (at nearby Amherst) to develop a county- wide energy analysis. The results brought good news and bad news. The bad 'news was that more than 40 percent of the county's $121 million payroll went to paying for the county's energy bill. And, almost all of that money went out of the county, even­ tually ending up in such places as Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. For the family with the median disposable income of ap­ proximately $8,000, an estimated $1,200 went to pay for household energy consumption, including transportation. J5ut there was also some good news. The survey looked at the prospects for local energy production, which would pump consumers' dollars into local businesses, banks and in­ vestments. The researchers found that a carefully planned transition to renewable energy sources would not be difficult, would probably yield actual increases in the local standard of living, and would cut back | The McHenry Plflinde^jer i - (USPS 335-200) -T jjji Established 1875 JIJ: 3012 West Elm Street Phone 385-0170 McHenry, Illinois 60050 jlj: Published Every Wednesday 4 Friday at McHenry, Illinois Second Class Postage Paid at McHenry.

Most important, the study showed that there was enough local energy to meet the county's demand in the year 1985. * The survey found another eight-to-12 megawatts in hydroelectric capacity in low- head sites throughout the county. It found wood in great abundance. It found good potential for harnessing solar energy for/heating homes and businesses It identified some 150 good wind-generation sites, with an energy potential equal to almost twice the electricity currently consumed in the county. It discovered numerous opportunities for harnessing "process heat" from the county's industries with which to run co-generation stations. And, if found there was a considerable amount of agricultural and municipal waste which could be turned into methane gas and boiler fuel. It is significant that Franklin county businessmen showed a keen interest in the survey. They came to recognize that the exporting of energy dollars does very little to strengthen their local economy. Recycling those dollars locally would mean more volume and profits for area merchants, who would become strong backers of the continuing project to promote local energy resource development. In the months ahead I suspect quite a few communities and counties across the country are going to undertake the kind of A few local host families are still needed for Youth for Understanding international exchange students arriving in Illinois soon. These students are high school age, are fully insured, bring their own spending money, and are eager to share their background and lifestyles with an American family. Host families provide room and board, love and understanding to these ex­ ceptional students, the majority of whom are boys.

The tax year for the Highway Use tax began July l, 1979, and runs through the following June 30. Vehicles placed in service after July must have Form 2290 filed with the Kansas City Service center by the last day study that the people in Franklin county have pioneered. And, like Franklin county; chances are they'll find that they do not have to sit by while bureaucrats and politicans in Washington tie up the nation's energy in red tape. They can act in their own communities to take charge of their own future. That's a spirit worth bottling and spreading around. of the month following the' month a vehicle is used on >t public highway for the first; time. ' • According to the IRS, the Uur: generally applies to single uflti: trucks weighing 13,000 pounds; or more, 2-axled truck-tractors - weighing 5,500 pounds or more, 3 or more axled truck-tractors regardless of weight, trucks of 9,000 or more pounds equipped for use in combinations, and busses with a gross weight of more than 26,000 pounds. Revenue from the Highway Use tax program assists states in financing the interstate high­ way system, but the tax is imposed on those vehicles using any public highways, city streets, state roads and in­ terstate roadways.
