And neither will a weekly spray Of malathto^l "In the Thursday, July 16, edition of another McHenry newspaper there appeared an article on mosquitoes which read like a prefs release from Clarke1 Outdoor Spraying company. This is the firm contracted by the city of McHenry at a cost of at least IK,000 to sprsy for m^3though malathion will kill mosquitoes, it is not very effective in a mosquito abatement program. This organo-phosphate is a contact poison; the pesticide must read* the mosquito to Ull it. Spraying from the streets is rather limited in range. And Clark Wood, a spokesman from Clarke Outdoor Spraying Co., admits, "The problem here is that the dominant species is , a migratory mosquito...known to fly from 5 to 15 miles from outlying flood plain areas.' Wood said the insects are at­ tracted to die city lights. Thus, when you spray in the evening) the mosquitoes are back the very neat dayl (Anyone with a bugwacker can attest to this) So why spray at all? * "Dr. Khian Liem, medical entomologist and director of the South Cook County Mosquito Abatement district eliminated street spraying from his program. Dr. Liem had this to say about malathion spray: 'It was expensive and inefficient. It just wastes energy and chemicals. Some people criticized us for stopping spraying, but I think it's Just window dressing or public relations'. "Treatment for mosquito abatement should focus on the larval stage since such treatment is preventive. spraying uo. monitoring an local breeding i or the money i Although Clarke Outdoor Spraying Co. does some and control of J sites, the bulk money received from the City of McHenry is sprat on the malathion spray. "Mr. Wood, Clarke spokesman, said, 'The company sprays the city at dusk because that's when mosquitoes are most active.' In the six sprayings con­ ducted during the past seven weeks, most spray times have been after midnight. But then would you want to be breathing malathion while eating your dinner? Instead, the company in­ sidiously sprays you while you are sleeping and never gives public notice as to when they are planning to spary. (Clarke will notify you if you call them and request notice.) "Let's make McHenry's mosquito abatement program an integrated pest management program stressing preventive tactics instead of malathion spray. It would be less costly, more effective and one in which we can all live with safely. "The South Cook County Mosquito Abatement district doesn't spray malathion, Crystal Lake doesn't spray and they have no more mosquitoes than McHenry. And the McHenry County Board of Health does not recommend spraying with malathion! "The end of the newspaper article states that if you're itching more than usual you should call their toll free number 800-942-2555. Well, if you're itching mad about being sprayed with malathion, call the company and tell them you don't want to be sprayed. And then you might want to call your aldermen and ask them to justify the $25,000 outlay.

The two-week program is co-sponsored by Bradley university and the Illinois State headquarters for the Junior Engineering Technical Society. (JETS) housed in Urbana. During the two-week program the participants (all to be seniors in high school) attended lectures and laboratories in com­ puter programming, engineering physics, mathematics, and civil, industrial, manufacturing, electrical, and mechanical engineering. The students all participated in several special activities such as a design competition which involved building out of balsa wood a model of a docking tower for spacecraft with the tower to be built on a planet with a hostile en­ vironment. Other activities included a surveying contest, a timber beam testing project, and participation in a simulation game called Community Land Use Game or CLUG. The intent of the simulation exercise was to make the students aware of the complex socioeconomic relationships that exist in society. Awards were given for many of the activities. Jeff received an award in computer science. He will be a senior at Johnsburg high school this fall. Former McHenry Girl Heads IEA Delegation l»AGE IS - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY. JULY 24.1K1 MJUtKtTWIASKIT the Eight area teachers recently returned from the National Education Associatkm-NEA convention in Minneapolis, including a former McHenry resident. Seven served as delegates from Illinois Education Association-NEA Region 38 (formerly IEA-NEA Region 5) and one as a state delegate. Heading the group was state delegate Suzanne Gerasch, an Antioch Community high school teacher and chairperson of IEA-NEA Region 38. She is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Leo Gerasch of McHenry. The group had its work cut out for it, working with the entire Illinois delegation to elect Harvey teacher, Pearl Mack, to the NEA Executive committee. Delegates helped re-elect NEA President Willard McGuire, an algebra and Spanish teacher on leave from the North St. Paul-Maplewood school district, to a two-year - term as president, and Bernie Freitag, a German and English teacher on leave from Newton, Pa. Council Rock high school, as vice- president. The convention reaffirmed its support for the Equal Rights amendment and pledged to work for passage in Virginia and other non- ratified states. Delegates took a strong stance against legislation in Congress to secure tuition tax credits. They also instructed the NEA to urge radio and lllaid •R IV IERA •STYLE-L INE CABINETS ALL AT DISCOUNT PRICES! Keyline Kitchens (815) 385-1720 TENDER AND MEATY W00 ̂ RIBS COOKED IN OUR .

Participants also ap* proved proposals directing NEA to join in petitioning Congress for the dismissal of Secretary of Interior James Watt; urging the NEA to take a strong public position opposing the Ku Klux Klan "and all other groups that advocate racial, ethnic or religious oppression." The convention decreed that members support the sale of American-made products. Delegates heard an address by George McGovern, former senator from South Dakota, honored as a friend of education and applauded the Reagan nomination of Judge Sandra O'Connor for a seat on the U.S. Supreme court bench.

BUYING HAM CUTS You may have noticed hams, side by side in the.meat case, labeled butt and shank halves and butt and shank portions or ends. Here's the difference. When a ham has been cut in half and the center slices removed, the re­ maining pieces must be labeled portion or end. If the center slices are still on the ham, the hams may be lab­ eled halves. The butt portion contains a little higher proportion of lean meat to Cat and skin than the shank portion, but it is more difficult to carve. GRILLED TURKEY If your family enjoys turkey cooked on an outdoor covered grill, try these suggestions. For a hickory-smoked flavor, sprinkle a half cup of damp­ ened hickory chips over the coals during the last half hour of cooking. Or, for a bit of flair, brush the turkey with a favorite bar­ becue sauce during the last half hour of cooking. This will give the turkey added flavor and gloss.
