PAGE N • PLA1NDEALER • WEDNESDAY, MAY 27.1M1 MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) importance of the occasion they are helping to celebrate just by their presence. "What is Flanders Field"? we heard one youngster ask his mother, while nearby, standing near a picnic bench, a father gently took the hand of his young daughter as he brought her to her feet for "The Star Spangled Banner". And so Memorial day was celebrated in McHenry, and it was much the same around the country. Remembering brought different thoughts to the participants, but all of them carried a spirit of history and a feeling for their fellowmen that gives all of us a faith in the future. KAF CHARGE BAD PUBLICITY TAKES TOLL IN PROPERTY VALUES (Continued from page 1) height of the Memorial day weekend, there were only three small picnic groups at the beach. '"liiis is terrible, we're off much more than 50 percent today," said Victor Grudzanski, caretaker of the lodge and a member of the board of directors of Rimas Corporation. "We're concerned because we're property owners and we have a business that depends on the lake," he said, "but there's nothing we can do. The chemicals used were legal chemicals approved by the federal government." Grudzanski said that last year when the lake was treated not one fish was killed and not one of his customers complained of sickness or rashes from swimming in the lake. "We had about 20,000 swimmers here last year and had no complaints or claims about being sick," he said. Grudzanski feels the article can only hurt the lodge this year. "The ladies that started this get excited and don't talk with the others," he said, "and right away they run to the press. There's no question, the article is going to hurt us." Mrs. Loasch and Hill have said that Midas Midwest Chemical company has again treated the lake earlier this month. Rau, who agreed to hold off chemical treatments of the lake this year, said, "I don't know of any treatments to the lake. I gave no order to Midas Midwest to continue the treatments but they were out a couple of weeks ago to check the weed growth to see what effects last year's treatments had on the weed- bed...and that's all they did." However. Mrs. Loasch said she saw the men from Midas Midwest sprinkling pellets or crystals in the lake and has requested the Illinois Depart­ ment ofj\ghculture to investigate the company to see if they did put chemicals in the lake, if they did what chemicals were used and who authorized the application. "This year the lake has not been treated." Rau said, "and yet people still claim to be getting sick from it. I'm convinced in my own mind that it's not 2,4-D. No one in my subdivision has had any problems, it's only in Holiday Hills that there are problems and I feel the Health department should come out and find out why." Rau hopes that once the reason for the sickness has been discovered it will get as much attention as the chemical treatments did! j- "That article last Sunday was terrible. They used scare tactics and sensationalism." he said. "The Chicago Sun-Times is guilty of irresponsible reporting of the worst kind." RATIFY TEACHERS' CONTRACT «• (Continued from page 1) involved if a grievance cannot be resolved at the district level. • Other changes pertained to language were for clarification purposes. In Johnsburg School District 12, "there is nothing significant to report", Dr. Duane Andreas, superintendent, announced Friday morning. He added that several meetings had been held and negotiations are continuing. The administrator expressed his opinion that considerable agenda time at the next board meeting will be devoted to the health plan Both sides have been meeting with the business office to determine the direction of the plan and what would be considered fair. "Negotiations are a bit behind the other schools", Andreas observed, explaining that this is so for a number of reasons. He said the administration has been involved in two studies, those of cost analysis and the direction to follow after defeat of the referendum last April. In addition, the teachers' organization has just changed leadership. Tim Perkins, the former president of the organization, recently accepted the position of principal of the Ringwood Middle school, which puts him in a different position as part of school management Dr. Andreas said that as of Friday," the teachers' organization had not formally announced the person elected to fill the vacancy. There will be no questions in High School District 156 this summer because of a two-year contract signed late last fall following several months of controversial negotiations. The two- year contract called for a 10 percent salary increase CRASH SERIOUSLY INJURES LOCAL GIRL (Continued from page 1) parently lost control and left the roadway ft* * The Johnsburg Rescue squad tran­ sported Bianchi to the hospital Ask Zoning Use To Permit Care Of Horses A petition has been filed for hearing before the McHenry County Zoning Board of Appeals by the McHenry State Bank, Trust 2038 and Russell and Mary Brown for a Conditional Use of the "R- 1" Residential district to allow the construction of a pole barn and the boarding of up to 10 horses.

Parents for wrestling, led by Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Everett, persuaded the board to give them this chance to save wrestling by offering volunteer services as ticket lakers, bookkeepers, scorekeepers and supervisors and by raising funds to help support the program Board members felt that such determined parents should be allowed the opportunity for this "pilot" program. However, they said that no district funds would be used for wrestling and that default on the parents' part would cause a burden on the district's budget and reflect negatively on future parent endeavors of this kind. Junior high Ski club was also rein­ stated Larry Reinhard, club director, requested reinstatement on the basis of instituting a $3.50 user's fee. stating that the club had 125-150 members Rob Gough. high school assistant principal, reported that the North Central evaluation would be reviewed over the next several months.

And. in case you've forgotten, that means four months of higher electric rates than you're used to paying the rest-of the year. What's more, the fuel adjustment charge will be higher, too. because the cost of fuel is getting higher. Especially oil. ^ There's no denying its going to hurt. All we can say- is that if you really conserve, if you cut back during the summer when it costs the most to generate the extra electricity for air condition­ ing. it won't hurt nearly as much. If enough < >f yc >u give it a try. we won't have to bum as much expensive oil. The more of our electricity we can make with coal and uranium, the less it'll cost us all. In the long run. holding down summertime use can hold down the number of new- generating stations we'll need. And they're a big reason for rate increases in general. So please, send for a free copy of our Waste Watchers Guide and use it for all it's worth. (Write: Department AV, Box 767, Chicago, IL 60690.) It'll show you 101 ways to keep electric bills under control. Maybe, just maybe, the summer can be just plain fun again. V- Commonwealth Edison Dait take tomorrow for granted i
