SEPTEMBER 1,1982 McHenry Gold Rush Begins McHenry will become the first town in the U-SA.slo prospect for gc^l in this century, beginning Sept. 18 through the McHenry Gold Rush. This word comes by way of the Chamber of Commerce. Just last week the city sealed and launched a time capsule that will remain in repose for 100 years. Now this same community is glancing backward nearly 100 years and recapturing the Gold Fever that excited the nation so long ago and drove the populace to develop the West. . , ; Without need for travel expenses or changing addresses and without need for special mining apparatus, Gold Fever can be caught and captivated and enjoyed in McHenry. McHenry Recycling Saturday Gold Rush will have that precious, 3stal not as ore, but refined to 22 rat, .999 fine -- gold in it's purest form -- that will be available for prospecting in many locations throughout the McHenry ar€a. "McHenry Gold Rush" is Open to all who choose to shop, bank, and be served and serviced at ,4he par­ ticipating businesses. In addition, several McHenry-'industries will be awarding McHenry Gold, to their employees for special recognition. McHenry has long been considered famous for Fiesta Days and family fun. Prospecting for gold is promised by the C of C as another dimension of activity and value with hometown convenience and economy.

Northern Illinois is rapidly running out of landfill space. TraAsportation to distant sites will ojfay add to the already expensive process of garbage disposal. Since the average Resident discards about 1,000 pounds of waste each year (including nearly 500 pounds of paper), recycling can reduce the amount of discarded waste drastically, thus increasing the life of present disposal sites and the related costs of the operation. J The recycling drive, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 4, (9 a.m. to 1 p.m.) is being co-sponsored by the McHenry County Defenders and the Xi Kappa Iota chapter of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority. The drive will be held in the parking lot of the McHenry Market Place on West Route 120. For further information about recycling or how a group can co- sponsor a future drive, contact the McHenry / County Defenders representative at 385-8512.

Nurse Refresher Course McHenry hospital is sponsoring its annual nurse refresher course, beginning September 13 and running through Nov. 24. The ll-week program is designed to assist the registered nurse retur­ ning to the profession after an absence of at least five years. The refresher program, which has been presented by McHenry hospital since 1976, en­ courages the returning nurse to become a productive member of the health care team, while familiarizing the JIN with new trends and techniques in nursing. The program objectives provide a formaT^revTev^'of clinical skills and nursing procedures, update the nurse's knowledge of the current medications and their nursing im­ plications, introduce the nursing process and its role in planning, providing and documenting patient care, and provide clinical experience in a medical-surgical setting; under the direction of a nursing preceptor and the hospital's department of education. To enroll in the program, a nurse must be a graduate of a state- approved school of nursing, currently licensed to practice, in the State of Illinois, and have a desire to grow as a health care professional. The fee for the program covers the cost of textbooks and continuing education credits. The class meets four days a week, Monday through Thursday.

They spent a lot of time debating the sad state of the economy and the fact there were no jobs to be found for retired people who wanted-- or needed--part-time em­ ployment. While one of them contin­ ued to lament the sad state of affairs, the other went out, made four calls on potential employers and found em­ ployment that paid well and offered him a periodic choice of working hours. The economy is not good. JObs are scarce. But, there are jobs to be had. They just don't come looking for peo­ ple the way they did once up­ on a time. Call it the law „f. supply and demand, or what­ ever, but it's a fact of life that when the time comes more people are looking for jobs than there are jobs available, the employer doesn't have to advertise. Someone who real­ ly wants a job will come and say, "What about me? I'm available." If you are retired, and have nothing to do, go out and * look for a part-time job. Even if you don't find one, you will find satisfaction in the fact that you are doing some­ thing. You may discover that there is an incentive, even a challenge, in carrying out a search program, in deciding where next to go, what next to do, day by day. When you're working at something, whatever it is, tomorrow always holds a measure of promise. The first moving picture theater was the Electric Theater on South Main street in Los Angeles, which opened in 1902 with an hour-long presentation. Ad­ mission was two cents. ATTENTION MEOWNERS!
