18 • PLAINDEALER • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 7,1982 SET DRUG-ALCOHOL PROGRAM IN MOTION (Continued from page 1) The West campus principal said the program is being handled through the school board because the concerns were first voiced by school personnel. "The whole concern grew out of the school population - the administration, the faculty and the board," Johnson said. He commented that some aspects of the program could be implemented almost immediately, while others, like the community center, are long-range projects requiring the input of many people. No definite time frame has been developed for the implementation of the programs. "There is so much potential for abuse," he said. "We want to make people aware of the harm. We want to keep the healthy people from becoming unhealthy." Johnson pointed out that a wealth of programs are available to deal with those people having problems. This program, he commented, was a community approach directed at the students and adults in the community. He noted that a program in Bloomington, 111., included units at the elementary level where students dealt with making decisions and increased awareness about health and the things they consume. "It's important to have that kind of training before the total attitude is developed," Johnson said. The West campus principal pointed out that students are also concerned about their parents who drink, or use drugs. "This helps to keep the student in­ volved," Johnson said, reiterating the family-community orientation of the program. "We want to deal with the community atmosphere," he said. "Every com­ munity has people who abuse alcohol or drugs and there are programs to deal with them. This is to help non-abusers keep from becoming abusers." MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) McHenry man. Filled with enthusiasm, he admits to being eager to expand his interests in entertaining which to date have taken him to the Lamb s farm. Operation Head Start, the Waukegan Developmental center, and to schools throughout the county. He has even enrolled in sign language school. Here is a man who describes his field as "thrilling" much like FISH volun­ teers have characterized their role in bringing together those who have, and are willing to give, and those who have not, and must accept. And there are others who inspire us each day. It is only that their number never seems to meet our needs. Last week we lost an uncle to death at the age of 87. How full those years had been! It was only last June that we sat with him in the back yard of the family homestead in southern Minnesota and looked at recent plantings of trees. , Speaking of their long period of growth ahead, he commented as casually as he would have done on the least important topic, "We can wait, we're aiming for 100". And he meant it! We marveled at his spirit when so many take to their rocking chairs at a much earlier age. Yes, there are many to inspire along the way. It's up to us to seek them out. | KAF HOSPITAL WINS UNANIMOUS VOTE FOR HEIGHT VARIATION (Continued from page 1) corridors at Good Shepherd hospital, built along horizontal lines, were 440 feet long. "It's easier to move a patient 12 feet vertically than it is 150 feet horizon­ tally," Cox said. The design of the building eliminates the "nurses station," locating the nurses work ajrea in the center with the patients' rooms clustered around. "Flexibility is a key," he said. "In ICU, the nurse can see each monitor and every patient at all times." "We feel we can staff 54 to 60 beds with the same number of people it takes to staff 40 now," Cox said. "It gets the nurses out and working with the patient; they're only three steps from each patient's room." He explained that this would provide a more efficient utilization of per­ sonnel, particularly the highest paid employees. Cox explained the fire safety measures and noted that the entire building would be under a sprinkler system, with the exception of surgery, radiology and intensive care. Other methods would be used in these areas. The architect assured the ZBA that all fire codes would be met and pointed out fire exits and fire doors throughout the building. "The key to Life-Safety is com- partmentalization horizontally and vertically so that a fire can't spread," he said. He also noted that a hospital is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which allowed for earlier detection of a fire. In addition to smoke and ion detec­ tors, the hospital would have an in- house fire fighting system and people trained by the Fire department. The power plant, he added, would be on the east side of the building, com­ pletely separated from the hospital structure. "We don't think it's safe to build a hospital above a power plant," Cox said. There were no objectors present, but one resident, Martin W. Janci, of 2204 Orchard Beach road, McHenry, questioned the petitioners about ingress to the facility. Janci owns a parcel of land on Bull Valley road, close to the hospital site. John Smith told the resident that the entrances would be wefrback irom the intersection. Cox replied that the ingress would be primarily off of Bull Valley road. Bringing the hearing back on track, City Attorney Bernard Narusis pointed out that the corporation already has the right to build a hospital; the only question was the height variation. ZBA member Annie Cuda asked, "If this is so much more economical a concept, then why are there only three other hospitals like this if it is such a good idea?" Cox said most architects are not that familiar with health care and do not listen to enough people. He also said, "Architects have a funny ego, they don't like to do something that someone else has done." The other three hospitals built along vertical lines were designed by Cox and Associates. "I don't know why others don't do it," Cox said. Voting in favor of a motion to recommend approval were ZBA members Fred Kupstis, Kay Halver- son, Robert Jessup, Annie Cuda and James Fouse, chairman. ZBA member Suzanne Kauss was excused for cause. The matter will be brought to the city council for final action.

About 20 of the cases, he said, were due to wind or falling branches bringing down lines between the telephone pole and the house. The rest of the service interruptions were caused by wet lines. As of Tuesday morning, most of the problems had been corrected, Jozwiak said. Ron Russell, Commonwealth Edison district manager, was unavailable for comment at press time Tuesday morning. ^ C of C Member Drive Opens VOTER LEAGUE MEETING The Woodstock-McHenry League of Women Voters will meet Thursday, April 8, at the Tryon street Presbyterian church in Woodstock, starting at 9:30 a.m. The annual McHenry Area Chamber of Commerce membership drive will soon be under way, Chairman Sue Low has announced.

A Wonder Lake resident, Van Sells, has been nominated as Northern Illinois university's Illinois Journalist of 1962. The final selection from among the nominees will be made in April. On Feb. 10, Ms. Sells was invited to Northern to give talks to two of the journalism classes of Dr. Joseph Marsh. One of the classes was on journalistic writing; the other feature writing. Accompanying her to the university was Tom Armbrust of McHenry, a published magazine writer. The invitation from Dr. Marsh came through a feature story written by a former McHenry resident in his classes. Nancy Sales wrote an article called Sales On Sells which impressed Dr. Marsh so much that he made the contact about the lectures. After the Feb. 10 talks to his classes. Dr. Marsh said that he would like to nominate Ms. Sells for this prestigious award which, in the past 10 years, has included such luminaries of the jour­ nalistic field as Mike Royko, Walter Jacobsen, and Bill Kurtis. Dr. Marsh was particulary im­ pressed by the pioneering that Ms. Sells did for women in the journalistic field. She was the first woman city editor of a daily (The Woodstock Daily Sentinel) in Illinois; the first woman officer (The Recorder) for Illinois News Broad­ casters' association; the first woman to broadcast "hard" news in Lake (for WKRS, Waukegan) and MSHeiir^ counties; and the second woman to be named to the RTA (from among 11) as a regional affairs officer. The Sells family came to McHenry county 30 years ago. The move into what was then a summer cottage was triggered by a draft notice for Fred Sells, the husband and father. He was an insurance agent in Waukegan throughout his business life but is now retired. The Sells daughters, Sandra Siakel of Clarendon Hills and Sharon Rice of Galway, N.Y., attended Harrison school, McHenry high school and the University of Illinois. Until about a year ago, Sandra was employed on the professional staff of the Girl Scouts; Sharon teaches ninth grade history in Galway. Ms. Sells at one time wrote the Wonder Lake column for the McHenry Plaindealer.
