"In fact, we encourage them to do so", comments Fran Olsen, executive director of the McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce," because the the more responses submitted, the more revealing and dimensional our survey will be." The survey purports to pinp­ oint the severity of each type of bad debt: uncollectable bad checks, closed accounts, and forged signatures. In addition to the survey, the com­ mittee is continuing to investigate various forms of deterrents and plans to compile those ideas and make them available to Chamber members. The final procedure to be recommended to area members will directly result from the survey outcome. The committee, composed of Carol Nelson; Tim Ogurek; Retail Chairman Tom Williams; Vince Giacomin; Leah Nuss; and Fran Olsen, will meet again Oct. 15 at 7:30 a.m. at bttsa Luck restaurant on Green street and invites all interested jpersons to join them for breakfast or to phone in comments or suggestions, 385-4300. IDOT TAKES DIM VIEW OF DAM PLANS (Continued from page 1) did a dam breach study to determine what would happen if the dam failed. The engineers looked at spontaneous dam failure during heavy rains, prolonged failure with the dam breaking and the lake emptying to half depth in two hours and "piping" - the movement of material which forms a channel under or through the dam. Fisher advised that the association retain its own engineers, but added that he felt there were two alternatives to remedy the situation. These are to build either a primary spillway to handle a possible "maximum flood" or an emergency spillway. A possible maximum flood occurs when 24 inches of rain falls in a 24-hour period or when 32 inches of rain collects in the lake in a 24-hour period. "Cofferd^hns will prevent the sluice gates frotfl falling, but what are you going tojek) afterwards?" Fisher asked. "If yotfeut off half the spillway, you're compounding the problem." He commented that the necessary work will cost a good deal more than the recent increase in association dues will provide. Fisher commented that $60,000-a- year in dues "doesn't mean a damn thing to us" and added that the project will require hundreds of thousands of dollars. If the association agrees that the dam repairs should be made but cannot come up with the money, the state agency is empowered to file a suit against property owners to raise the funds A judge would then determine how much each owner would pay. If the owner refuses to pay, the state then has the power to sell the property of that owner. "We want to work with you, we want to give you the time to do it," Fisher said. "We're going to ask that within five years you make your dam safe in all aspects...." The IDOT representative said agency attorneys have said that, according to Wonder Lake property deeds, the property owners around the lake are legally responsible for the repair and maintenance of the lake and dam. Fisher praised the association for taking the responsibility for the ownership of the lake, unlike the Lake Marian Property Owners association, which was sued by the state to deter­ mine ownership. He commented thfct the spillway at Wonder Lake was In* "better shape" than either of those at Lake-In-The-HUls or the former Lake Marian. Several years ago, state officials stepped in to breach the dam at Lake Marian, near Carpentersv\lle, when a similar situation existed. In the event that the association tries to create a special taxing district, the lake would have to be opened to the public. Fisher explained that no public monies can be used on a private ven­ ture such as this. Don Coumbe, vice-president of the association, suggested getting a draft of the proposal by the Donohue & Associates engineering firm, of Waukesha, Wis., to IDOT for tentative approval so individual property owners associations can be informed of the proposal before the Dec. 13 meeting. Two Injured In Accidents Two McHenry area men were injured in separate traffic mishaps Monday when the vehicles they were operating left the roadway. At about 5 p.m. Oct. 12, John Wrublewski, of 4512 Garden Quarter road, McHenry, was heading west on Lincoln road, approaching Woodlawn Park, when his vehicle failed to negotiate a curve in the roadway. The auto traveled into some brush and struck a tree. The McHenry Area Rescue squad transported the 22-year-old Wrublewski to the hospital for examination and treatment of injuries. The county police indicated on the report that Wrublewski was un­ cooperative and refused to make a statement. Wrublewski was cited for driving with a revoked license. Damage to the auto.was listed at greater than $250. In a separate accident, an auto driven by David J. Asmussen, of 518 Dowell road, McHenry, ran off River road at the entrance to Moraine Hills State park and rolled, striking some signs. Asmussen told police he could not recall how the accident happened. The McHenry Area Rescue squad took Asmussen to McHenry hospital for examination. Men and equipment from the McHenry Township Fire depart­ ment also responded to the scene. The car was totalled and Asmussen was cited by county police for driving too fast for conditions.

Checkerboard Square Dancers To Aid Saturday Recycling Members of the Checkerboard Squares, McHenry's well known square dance club, will be on hand Saturday, Oct. 17, to work along with the McHenry County Defenders at one of the regular twice-a-month recycling drives. New as well as old recyclers may bring their newspapers, clean glass bottles and jars, clean and flattened all-steel cans with labels removed, used motor oil and aluminum products to the U southeast corner of the McHenry Market Place from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., • where workers will be on hand to help unload cars and see that all recyclable Hold Fund Raiser For Area School A benefit performance of the Tony award winning play, "Company", will be presented at 8:15 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, at the Woodstock Opera house. The Woodstock Musical Players have added this special performance to their schedule inorder to help raise funds for the McHenry County Alternative high*1 school. Tickets for this performance can be obtained by calling the school at 344-2424, stopping by between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on week days or through the ticket office of the Opera house in Woodstock. material is moved along the route to being used again. The aluminum pay-back program for aluminum beverage cans wUl be in effect at this drive as it is at every drive. By recycling aluminum rather than using the raw material, 95 percent of the energy is saved when products are manufactured. A further energy saving is made when returnable bottles are used. A returnable bottle can make an average of 19 trips back and forth to the store before it needs to be discarded. No magazines, cardboard or ad­ vertising mail are able to be accepted at the drives. Citizens are asked to remember and to remind their neigh­ bors that the recycling drive is over at 1 p.m. and that material is not to be dropped off after that time. Anyone having questions regarding preparation of materials or other questions regarding recycling may call the McHenry representative of the McHenry County Defenders at 385-8512 before Friday evening. Accreditation For Hospital Kenneth G. Bast, executive director of McHenry hospital, announced that the hospital has been awarded a two- year accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. The Board of Commissioners informed Bast that this decision was reached after a review of the findings from the most recent survey of the hospital. Through this award, which is the maximum accreditation any hospital may achieve, the Joint commission commended McHenry hospital on its efforts toward providing quality patient care. The commission is composed of Ifepresentatives from five national health care organizations: the Amer­ ican College of Surgeons, the American College of Physicians, the American Dental association, the American Hospital association, and the American Medical association. Formed in 1951, the private, not-for- profit organization is dedicated to safeguarding high standards for health care. Accreditation is a voluntary process, and begins when a health care facility applies to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals. Said Bast, "Our hospital's participation in this process demonstrates to our patients and our, community service area that we are committed to main­ taining high professional standards for quality patient care." The JCAH promotes quality health care through establishing high stan­ dards, conducting on-site surveys of facilities, and awarding accreditation to facilities and programs that meet JCAH standards. .»ia » Bast further commented, "McHenry hospital concurs with the JCAH attitude that health care professionals can and should take the responsibility for evaluating and improving the quality of care they provide." --I- ./...s - ' V • " 4; jr>-v.. . , " . i • • •••• fOOfflr IMS HOUSE IS JUST SMART, TOMORROW ITU. BEBRUiUK Nobody has to tell you what's happening to the cost of energy today. It's all up, up, up. So if you're looking for a new house, it makes a whole lot of sense to look for one with an Energy Smart signout front. One that uses energy like a miser. That keeps the cost down, down, down. That means a house with double-glazed windows. With ceilings insulated to a minimum itingof R-19. W11 All summer fong it works just like central air condi­ tioning. But in the winter it reverses itself. It takes heat from the air outside and pumps it inside to keep you warm. What's more, the Heat Pump does that so efficiently it provides at least 50 percent more energy (heat) than the energy (electri­ city) it uses. And that's very, very smart when you consider that the cost of natural gas has gone $ M € t 4 I st /ith walls insulated to at least R-1L With exterior openings carefully weather-stripped and caulked. And with an Electric Heat Pump instead of a central air conditioner and furnace. That's the key. The Heat Pump. Better yet, ItH be downright brilliant when natural gas gets deregulated or OPEC bumps up the price of oil a few more times. The Energy Smart house. It can make tomorrow a lot easier to live with. $*• w £ Mi 2 Commonwealth Edison Dcrlt take fcmorrcv/ fcr gianied x
