Tag day slated for infant A tag day has been ap­ proved by the City of McHenry, to take place on Saturday, July 21, for John James Robert Phillips, the infant son of a Pistakee Highlands couple, who suffers from a heart con­ dition. Friends and family will be stationed at various places around town, and will distribute handmade tags for donations. The benefit is set to raise money for the financial deficit experienced by parents of the child, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Phillips. The baby's father is a teacher at Montini Catholic School, McHenry. John Phillips, now four months old, has been hospitalized since two days after birth. He arrived home for the first time Thursday, July 5, after discharge from the Northern Illinois Medical Center. He has undergone two extensive operations and medical bills for the Phillips family now exceeds $145,000. After being admitted to Swedish American Hospital in Rockford and diagnosed to be suffering a hypoplastic heart (a heart below normal size); the baby had its first operation. He had further complications and was given only a few days to live. The infant's aortic arch was half the size it should be, and his left ventricle was oversized. There w&s a defect between the heart chambers. He was transferred to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN with failing health and experienced his second operation. The operation entailed a ropair to the aorta and a closure of the heart defect. Two days after the operation the baby suffered kidney failure and was put on a kidney dialysis machine until his kidneys started functioning on their own. John Phillips was tran­ sferred to the Northern Illinois Medical Center a few weeks after his second operation and was sub­ sequently allowed to go home. Besides the tag day, future fundraisers are being planned and canisters have been placed in area stores. A bank fund has also been established at McHenry State Bank for anyone wishing to contribute. Anyone who would like to work on the fund drive should call Faith Presbyterian Church at 385- 5388. PAGE 7 - PLA1NDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY IS, !«•# Deaths Harvard L. Klein Harvard L.

By Kurt Begalka Plaindealer News Service The McHenry County Waste Study Advisory Committee had plenty of questions Monday night, and few definitive an­ swers. The committee first asked the McHenry County State's At­ torney's office to clarify the county's powers to regelate landfill and recycling procedures last February. Five months later, the questions still haven't been answered to the committee's satisfaction. They were to be answered last night, but a scheduling conflict delayed discussion again. '"Between the state's at­ torney's office and the county board, things don't always flow too quickly," said Ann Hughes, county board member. The committee decided to redefine its questions and review the responses made earlier by Linda Seely, former assistant state's attorney. The committee questioned whether the county government has the authority to regulate the quality and-or type of waste that is disposed in a landfill within its boundaries. Hauler Tom Scolaro said that a uniform definition of special or hazardous waste does not even exist. "I probably swim in water that's worse than what the government defines as certain kinds of hazardous waste," Scolaro said. The committee also wanted to know if such an agreement, if possible, has to be approved by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA). Although Seely said the IEPA is the "ultimate authority" in regulating waste disposal, the permit process remains un­ clear. Another area of concern was the county's legal respon­ sibilities in regulating septage disposal. Richard Wissell, McHenry County public health administrator and com­ mitteeman, said about 10 years ago, the state health department was given the responsibility to oversee domestic septage disposal. His department, in turn, acts as an administrative arm for the state. However, Wissell pointed out that the county health depart­ ment lacks the legal muscle to demand that independent septage haulers reveal the locations of their dumping sites. IEPA guidelines also are fairly general, regulating the grade of the land and the location of the site, Wissell said. He added the health department enforces on a complaint basis. "As long as there is no problem we're aware of, we leave it up to the haulers," Wissell said. Staff and financial constraints are too great, he said. Committeeman Jack Ren- skers was appalled by the lack of guidelines. "It seems to me, all these boys down in Springfield need a good sharp kick in the behind," he . said. "It seems to me they haven't been doing their job." The county's authority to initiate sojid waste collection programs and the scope of such programs was another point of concern. Consultant Jerry DeMers acknowledged, "You can do anything but are also liable for what you do." Tight control must be maintained, he said. Control is an integral part of "flow control." Can the county by ordinance direct waste to a specified waste disposal facility Can the county prohibit waste generated outside the county from being disposed in the county? DeMers and committeemen Greg Lindsey and Steve Aradas attended a seminar on solid waste management sponsored by the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission in May. They concluded that counties may use a solid waste plan in examining landfill ap­ plications-something the ad­ visory committee has been working on for a little over a year. To avoid legal complications, county guidelines should be clear and in the public's best interest, Lindsey said. "As we embark on this im­ plementation, it's not clear what we can actually do," said Lind­ sey, the study committee's vice chairman. An amendment to Senate Bill 172 in 1981 is an attempt to shine some light on the matter. It charges counties and municipalities with the responsibility of reviewing the location of a proposed landfill. Without this consent and ap­ proval from the IEPA on a site's technical aspects, a new waste facility may not be built. But the law remains untested. 3 •HOUD,A„o?EsV^"ol""- •WKK?£L-.. HO*s„r- .
