He must have pulled some of the trickiest stuntsJX" practical jokes ever known to man. AAcHenry hacTsomb "characters" and "Sots" was at the top of the list. This picture is marked: "Geo. Engeln, Go. G, 3rd III. Vol. Inf.--war with Spain 1898. An unsigned newsletter circulated in the area, entitl "The Nuclear Question Newsletter," has McHenry County Improvement Association attorney Bill Franz concerned. Die MCIA has been the most vocal group (mposing Waste Management, Inc.'s proposed 118-acre sanitary landfill site on the southeast corner of the intersection of Route 176 and McCue Road in southeast Seneca Township.' Because tne group's opposition to the landifll has been so vocal, Franz is con­ cerned that people may think the MCIA is responsible for the publication. "The newsletter reflects our position on a lot of these matters, and we have been vocal about this," Franz said. "We hear where this newsletter is coming from, but we're not in favor of these scare sheets. We're not out to bully the county board. We disavow any connection with this." The newsletter paints a pirn scenario of a rising cancer death rate in McHenry County, toxic clouds of rain falling on local cities and mysterious diseases alarming county residents, all stemming from possible approval of toxic and nuclear waste disposal after the county might approve Waste Management's landfill petition. Hipn school students, load service groups, media and the clergy are also criticized by the newsletter for their lack of input on the issue of the proposed landfill.
