McHENRY MARKET PLACE 385-4100 Betty Hoffman. Travel Agent Betty Hoffman's travel agency in Lynn wood, Wash., is much like hundreds of others, except for (me thing. All her clients travel in wheelchairs, or with guide dogs or special assistants. Mrs. Hoffman's "Wings on Wheels" is the nation's first travel service expressly for the handicapped. For seventeen years, Wings on Wheels has planned and conducted tours throughout Europe, Africa, Latin America' and the Orient. Customers range from highly educated professionals to brain-damaged and mongoloid children and adults. All benefit remarkably from travel. A blind physician expressed his gratitude during a trip to Switzerland, saying that his tour had shown him that his life still held many more ex­ periences. A wheelchair-bound arthritic woman from Ohio wrote Mrs. Hoffman, "You've opened up a new world and have given us a goal in life." Mrs. Hoffman's son, Jack, a partner in her agency, cites the fact that the mentally retarded actually gain in mental age with each trip. On a jaunt to Disneyland, one group of mentally retarded youngsters were given free rooms in the Park's Inn of Tomorrow, and received complimentary tickets to Lion Country. Mrs. Hoffman traces her sympathy for the handicapped to a temporary paralysis she had experienced after surgery earlier in her own life. What do her clients think of her? One double-amputee summed it up like this during a trip to Hawaii: "It shows me that you don't think of me as being handicapped - that you think of me as just another human being." And that's a good way to feel toward those around us. • * • m We know of very few instances where friend­ ship suffered through the use of complimentary language. • * * * Modern education, with all of its frills, has j succeeded in merely scratching the surface of the child-training prob­ lem. WHAT IS THE McHENRY * ALTERNATIVE HIGHSCHOOL The Alternative school, which opened its doors in the 1975-76 school year, is an unique school program originally proposed by a group of in­ terested community members. As a third campus of McHenry High School District 156, it offers the following program to its students: 1--A small high school ex­ perience to the* student who thrives in a smaller school atmosphere and 2--An opportunity for students to earn a high school diploma. For the past two years the Alternative school has served approximately forty students each year at no cost to the taxpayers of McHenry. Through a 100 percent private funding from the Continental Illinois Bank and Trust Co., it has graduated many students and employs a staff of five: "Homegroups" are the back­ bone of the program. Every student and staff person belongs to a homegroup and each group helps plan activities and events at the school. Homegroups also have the responsibility for planning physical education outings. The curriculum of the school focuses on the basic skills or competencies a student should have upon graduating from high school. Individual Study Contracts, community par­ ticipation contracts, and work- study contracts are also a part of the program. Sharing in decision making is a way of being a responsible person in the school community. • The school's goals include: 1. Developing the student's sense of responsibility; 2. Developing the student's ability to work without always being told what to do; 3. Developing the student's concern for other human beings; 4. Learning all the student can about various subjects; 5. Working to improve basic skills like reading, writing, speaking, and math. Hie Alternative school is committed to the idea that both young persons and their parents must be involved in the educational process which takes place during the student's later teenage years. In line with this belief, parents and students serve together on committees ranging from in­ terviewing committees to an advisory council for the school. Under the excellent direc­ torship of Clyde Leonard for the past two years, the school has well met the needs of individual students who best function in a small school experience. For the third consecutive year, the school will open its doors this fall at no expense to the tax­ payer. The success of the school is well expressed in the words of one of the school's students: "I like classes a lot, because the kids get involved. I can really open up to the way I feel about a subject. I feel very comfortable here. You may have lots of responsibilities, but it is worth it." * •••/••• teaspoon lemon juice teaspoon cornstarch teaspoon water . Truck Makers Go, But One Revives Increasingly, U.S. truck makers are finding they need large volume to be able to build vehicles efficiently enough to make a profit. That means that Iven es­ tablished firms with slim volume in certain lines are having to drop them. Chrys­ ler Corp.'s Dodge division, for instance, while continuing to turn out lighl trucks, has recently dropped out of both the medium duty truck and bus chassis businesses. And Mack Truck, Inc., has closed down its Brockway division, which made many sales in the South and Northeast, but never made enough of an im­ pact in the farm belt or West coast for Mack to turn ic into a black ink operation. Diamond Reo, too, sank into bankruptcy just 10 years after • the company was formed from two independ­ ent manufacturers. But Dia­ mond Reo may be rising again from its financial failure: Osterlund, Inc., a truck dealer in Harrisburg, Penn., bought the company's patents, tools and dies, and production rights, and soon intends to begin producing the Model 116, one of the- most popular trucks in the old Diamond Reo line. It is popular for ready-mix con­ crete deliveries and garbage collection. ••• "Nectarine Linzer Torte" starts with the tradition of Euro­ pean culinary elegance and adds a taste of America in the form of tart-sweet fresh California nectarines. It's a delicate torte pastry covered with a layer of sweet almond paste then topped with cinnamon-lemon spiced nectarines and a lattice-work of the torte pastry. Serve this Old World dessert for special guests or whenever you want to conclude your meal with a truly * grande finale.
