At left, she experiences some difficulty in convincing her pet to perform, but in the end the big, Mack dog sat up for a treat to take second place in the "best trick" division.

A landfill within acceptable trucking distance would provide an incentive to residential and industrial expansion that a city should consider, Staub said. He. also, noted that McHenry county was about the only county in northeastern Illinois that did not have at least one landfill.

Both men blamed the press for presenting only one side of the story. Aid. Elizabeth Nolan (1st) questioned Staub about plans for recycling. Staub commented that the firm has no objection to recycling, but noted that to be effective it must start at the producer--the home or business, i "The only problem is that by the time the garbage is in the truck, it would be difficult to have someone pick through the garbage," Staub said.

The important thing is to be sure that the county officials have the proper support and restrictions. Staub explained that tight IEPA and federal EPA rules prohibit the dumping of anything except what the landfill is designed to handle. "If I was approached by a hospital that said they had an amount of low- level nuclear waste, I'd have to say 'no.' We can only take what is specified in the permit." Staub said. He noted that the site would be monitored by county health officials and IEPA. ^ Aid. Edward DabK2nd) raised a question of the firm's "integrity and trustworthiness.'f Candidates For Miss McHenry Title
