L . m ml STANEK *> "•» :? .1 , APPOINTMENT J STANDS (Continued from page 1) f deteriorated into an argument, < with nothing resolved. The meeting opened with the mayor calling on each of the t four aldermen who requested the meeting to give their s reasons for the extra session. Aldermen Bolger, Smith, and ' Harker all mentioned the subject of prior notification of nominees for positions, while Adams and Harker mentioned * confusion at the last meeting H over exactly who was not being v reappointed. Adams felt that confusion over "Harold" and "Harvey" Nye may have created some of the problems when it came time to vote. • •=• , "Harvey" is "Harold's" ^ father, although Harold is sometimes called Harvey. ; " Adams suggested that some Council members tnay have voted believing Harvey Nye, the father, was on the Library ; board. Harker stated that he was "under the delusion that when you mention 'Harvey' Nye in the context of weeding out the older members, my assump­ tion was that he no longer desired to serve on the board." , The mayor stated that someone else, not he, confused the issue with "Harvey" and "Harold" Regardless, although the mayor explained that one of the reasons for appointing his son was to get a man with some younger ideas on the board, Alderman Bolger made it clear before the vote that Harold Nye was probably the youngest member of the board. Another reason the: mayor stated he appointed his son was .. that he wanted a liaison bet­ ween the Council and the Library board. For example, although required, the Council has not received annual iinancial reports from the Library board. Stanek also felt that because the city has been subsidizing the Library board, which, with its own tax levy, the city should be better informed of library activities. Bolger, with a copy of this year's financial report in hand, explained that previously, there was a problem because fiscal years differed between the city and the library. When afforded the op­ portunity to speak, the newest Library aboard member ex- prifesed some waysin^Mch the McHenry library does not ! conform to norms established by other area libraries. He expressed a willingness to work with the other board members. None of the aldermen ex­ pressed dissatisfaction with Stanek as a Library board member. The concensus seemed to be that having both Nye and Stanek on the board would be the optimum solution. Bolger guaranteed that m Nye were reappointed, that an opening for Stanek would occur within six months. Three aldermen who said little throughout the discussion, Datz, Schooley, and Mrs. Nolan, voice opinions near the end of the meeting. Datz stated that he felt bad about the action taken at the last meeting because of his ignorance of the persons in­ volved. Mrs. Nolan said she was sorry that she voted hastily, but was not sorry about the way she ->' voted. Schooley noted, in so many words, that the Council was wasting its time in discussing the issue because any action to rescind Stanek's appointment was illegal. Thus, the appointment of Stanek to the Library board remains. Mayor Stanek was disturbed because Bolger knew no change could be made, yet Hi Offers A specialized day care program for McHenry county residents, 55 years and older particularly for the older chronically ill or disabled in­ dividual who cannot be left alone during the day, is now being offered by Valley Hi Nursing home.

Doing the laundry was once a relatively simple -- though back-breaking -- chore. The introduction of the wringer washer and detergents made things easier. With today's automatic washers and dryers, doing the laundry is a snap,, physically. However, with all the laundry additives needed to handle today's synthetics, knits, blends and permanent press fabrics, Washqty has become more complicated. To help uncomplicate matters, here's a short course in the basics of laundry addi­ tives from the Consumers co-signed the letter calling the special meeting, The mayor tjpjghat other areas of discussidjjjt. suchas the request foradvarfee notice of future appointments, could have been handled at a regular Council meeting, and that the $400 in taxpayers money which is divided among the eight aldermen was waited. Schaedel affirmed that he felt the meeting was helpful to him. The third reason tor calling the special meeting was to consider any matters that would help the Council to be a more democratic and open forum. One Council member felt a better word than "open forum" would be "harmony." The aldermen agreed that if Wednesday's meeting helped bring harmony to the beleaugered City Council, then something more important than a Library board ap­ pointment was accomplished.

' Phosphate Detergents: The most commonly used laundry additive, detergents based on phosphates, soften the water, reduce redeposition of dirt and emulsify oily and greasy soils. Many detergent makers have been reducing the phos­ phate content of their prod­ ucts. This may require the use of the same cleaning resuite^in the past, particularly in. 'hard- water areas. Non-Phosphate Detergents: Powdered non-phosphate de­ tergents use various chemicals as substitutes for phosphates and, in general, do not clean as well. In hard water, pow­ dered detergents containing high levels of sodium carbon­ ate tend to create limestone­ like deposits in automatic washers which can lead to early failures. Unbuilt, non- phosphate liquid products also are available, but do not clean as well as phosphate- baaed detergents. Soap: It can do a good job in soft water, but only a small percentage of U. S. households are lucky enough to have soft, water. In general, soap used in water with even low levels of hardness produces a "curd" which results in cleaning per­ formance that is unsatisfac­ tory to modern homemakers. Water Softeners: They Hi improve cleanability, enable you to use soap, or allow the use of less detergent. But they will add to the cost of laundering. - / . Pre-Soaks: These products usually contain enzymes -- inanimate chemicals -- which help break down certain diffi­ cult soils to simplify removal. Bleach: Liquid chlorine bleach is the mot used, although ^ojkjwei avail at deactivate enzymes, so not be added at the same time with enzyme prq-soaks. Oxygen bleaches are compa­ tible with enzyme products.'< Bleaches remove some soils and stains that enzymes won't, and have the added advantage of disinfecting and deodorizing. Fabric Softeners: Concen­ trated and diluted types added to the rinse cycle help "relax" - and soften fabrics and reduce static electricity that may be generated by tumble drying. Summer's warm weather may wilt the petals on the flowers that blossomed in spring, but at the same time it encourages many bicycle riders, young and old alike, to make their pedals spin. "Cycling is good exercise for everyone in the family," says Dr. Albert H. Domm, child safety specialist and former medical director of the Pru­ dential Insurance Co., "but care and caution must be ex­ ercised too." "The first thing to re­ member," says Dr. Domm, "is that the bi­ cycle is a ve­ hicle and not a toy. When chil­ dren are old Dr. Albert enough to H. Domm ride a bike out on the street, they should follow all the rules of the road, such as riding with the flow of traffic, using hand sig­ nals when turning or stopping, and obeying traffic signs." Dr. Domm urges parents to make sure their children's bicycles are kept in good condition with the seat, han­ dlebars and brakes properly adjusted. For night riding, good head and tail lights are a must, in addition to wheel reflectors, he says. He sug­ gests bright clothes be worn for cycling after dark. Weaving, lane-hopping, rac­ ing and similar stunts are dan* gerous and should be discour­ aged. "A straight line is not only the quickest way to ar­ rive at a destination, it is also the safest," asserts Dr. Domm. Some people are born child prodigies, playing Mozart and mastering the intricacies of higher math­ ematics before the age of 10, On the other end of the spSctrum are those per­ sons who don't realize their full potential until reaching their 60's and 70's. Such a person is 81-year- old Elam Sharp of Susan- ville, California, a rural community in northeastern California. Bashfuhand in­ secure with other people during most of his life. Sharp blossonied at the age of 67 when he took up archery. Along with the numerous trophies he won, Sharp came in contact with college students, a circum­ stance that gradually drew him out of his shell. "I had a pretty rough childhood, which I guess accounted for my shyness," Sharp told a writer from The National Council on the Aging. After a lifetime of work­ ing as a driver of horse- drawn freight wagons, horse trainer and caipenter, Sharp is presently a furniture maker, turning out every­ thing from tables and desks to rocking chairs, an item PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER - FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1977 people have visited him during the past 10 years. "For me, the best things in my life have happened as I've gotten older," Sharp said. "Does it bother him to have developed his talents and relationships with people so late in life? "Not at all," Sharp said. "I don't think it matters how old you are when you find yourself--as long as you do. Besides, the way I feel, I've got a lot of years of living left to do." that has earned him recog­ nition far beyond Susan- ville. Sharp's rockers are made from a variety of wood and the seats covered with a laced ani>mal hide cushion. Starting with a log, Sharp first works it over with a chain saw and hand tools and then sands and shapes it. "It takes a long time," Sharp said, "but the fin­ ished product is well worth the time and effort involved. The ohty trouble with hand­ made furniture is that a lot of people who appreciate it and would like to buy a piece, can't afford it." This once almost re­ clusive man ric^ lives in small cabin he* renovated from a ruiytfown shack, which serves as home, workshop and display room for his Handcrafted furni­ ture. Aside from his furniture making, Sharp enjoys a reputation as a local poet and philosopher and holds what amounts to /a per­ petual open house: his door is always open to visitors, most of whom refer to him as "Grandpa."
