AN E DI TION OF THE MORTHWEITHERALO JAcHENRJ^AJNDEALEj^eclhton^Mon^ Community Laidlaw faces motion to dismiss Here we go again. An attorney to- the villages of Algonquin and Lake in the Hills filed a motion Wednesday asking that the McHenry County Board dismiss Laidlaw Waste Systems' application for a landfill on Pyott Road because of defects in its public notice. If it's approved, it will mark the third time in five months that Laid- law's effort to build a 160-acre land­ fill in McHenry County has been snagged by a technical Hitch. Laidlaw fatted to incorporate recent changes in the Environmental Pro­ tection Agency's statutes regarding landfill siting procedures. The amendment to the statute in­ stituted July 1 says that a public hearing cannot be held sooner than 90 days after the date of filing, and that people have 30 days after the last public hearing to comment on the application. Flood says the public notice sent out by Laidlaw indicates that people have 10 days to comment on the cation, the guideline under the statute. Also, he says the Hins- According to Rich Flood, a Crystal dale-based landfill company mistak enly noted in its public notice that a Lake attorney representing the two villages in the opposition effort, public hearing by the county's land­ fill siting committee will be held within 00 days of the filing, again a provision of file old statute. "In light of the erroneous state­ ments, it's dear they have to start all over," Flood said. "It's some­ thing that should have beer easily caught and should have been corrected." Lakflaw's attorney, Jim Bishop of Crystal Lake, said he has no plans to withdraw the application and will proceed with his case on Nov. 6 when public hearings begin again. "I anticipate they'll try every­ thing they can do to stall the pro­ ceedings," Bishop said > The site Is located In a gravel pit south of Crystal Lake on Pyott Road, between the villages of Lake in the Hills and Algonquin. Public hearings began In May but were halted after a week when it was discovered a small portion of the site lay in Lake in the Hills village limits, forcing Laidlaw to withdraw Its application. Laidlav iw reflled and public hear­ ings resumed later this summer, but once again Laidlaw was forced to withdraw when it was found that the company had not informed some nearby property owners of the hearings. Public I hearings are scheduled to again Nov. 6 at I p.m. at the McHenry County Fairgrounds, McHenry Building D. Safeguard against botulism when canning When it affects cattle, it is called "loin disease," when it is found in chickens, it is "limberneck," and in Germany, they once called it "sau­ sage poisoning." But its most com­ mon and feared name is "botulism." As you use home-grown foods that you canned last fall, the danger of botulism may come to mind. But, botulism poisoning is not all that common in the United States, ac­ cording to Nancy Moore, U of I extension home economist. Since 1925, about 700 Americans have died from eating botulism con­ taminated food. On the other hand, about 2 million people suffer from milder types of food poisoning every year. These people may experience nothing worse than nausea, diarrhea and abdominal cramps; neverthe­ less, the discomfort can be prevented. To safeguard against food poison­ ing, Moore suggests boiling all home-canned vegetables, meats or poultry before tasting them. Bring them to a full, rolling boil, then cover the pan and continue to boll 10 minutes before tasting. During heating, spoiled food often ves off an odor, Mo< an odor, Moore said. Dis­ pose of spoiled food out-of-reach of children, pets or livestock. Although boiling home-canned foods before tasting them comes highly recommended as a safety precaution against most types of food poisoning, she noted that botu­ lism spores cannot be destroyed by boiling. The spores must be killed at file canning stage by high tempera­ tures in a steam-pressure canner. The canner must be set at 10 pounds of pressure and 240 degrees for an appropriate time. Information on safe times for different foods are available from the local county ex­ tension office, 338-4747. Most of the reported cases of botu­ lism have been linked to improperly processed home-canned, low-acid food, Moore says. Only about a doz­ en fatalities since 1925 have resulted from eating canned food processed by commercial manufacturers. In the inactive stage, botulism bacteria are spores; spores that are commonly found in soil, streams and even in the Intestinal tracts of mammals, including man. The spores will not produce deadly poison unless they germinate, which requires certain conditions. For ger­ mination, the spores must be in an oxygen-free environment because oxygen prevents growth. Also, spores cannot germinate in high- add canned foods like sauerkraut, fruit juices; highly salted items like certain hams; or sugary foods like Jams and Jelly. - However, they can germinate In low-add foods like vegetables, meat and fish. Unlike other food poisoning, botu­ lism attacks the nervous system, rather than the gastrointestinal trad, Moore said. Early symptoms include nausea, double vision, In­ ability to swallow and speech diffi­ culty. Paralysis eventually sets In throughout the bofly and the victim suffocates. The poisoning may by halted with "trivalent" botulinal antitoxin, available from the U.S. public health service. "Chances are you won't have |o deal with a case of botulism poison­ ing," Moore said. "But precautions are still warranted to avoid this dan­ ger, as well as the more common a n d m i l d e r f o r m s o f f o o d poisoning." . She advised examining and smell­ ing canned foods for spoilage. Also, never taste food from jars or cans that are damaged, spurt liquid when opened, give abnormal odors or have loose or bulging lids.
