The McHenry County Historical Museum in Union has a new look to it, thanks to donations from Federal Revenue Sharing funds, from , several townships and the county board. Most noticeable is the replacement of the museum's entryway with a new proch, railings and sign all in keeping with the design of the building which orginally served as the Union school between 1870 and 1968. Also replaced was the sidewalk leading to the museum, while another sidewalk was added to the north side of the building. This makes the main exhibit room of the museum accessible to the handicapped. Inside, more improvements were made. The three exhibit rooms upstairs--the costume, school and professional- military rooms-all have new lighting fixtures complete with UV filters designed to block out harmful ultraviolet radiation. Without such protection, fabric and paper collections maybe seriously damaged. In addition, ceiling fans were added. The physical improvements came as the result of recom­ mendations from two professional consultant grants the museum received last year. Open between the first of May and the end of October, the The McHenry County Historical Museum in Union is shown with some recent improvements. They include a new sidewalk and porch--entrywfy. museum offers weekly Sunday afternoon historical programs, arranges for guided school and organizational tours, teaches spinning and weaving, and operates a local history research library. The McHenry County Historical Society which operates the museum is a not- for- profit corporation funded by memberships and donations. Among the organizations volunteering time and-or money this season are: McHenry County Farm Bureau Women's Committee, McHenry County Geneological Society, Kishwaukee Valley Garden Club, Woodstock Women's Club, Richmond Rotary, Ridgefield Grange, Ag. students at Marengo High School and Huntley High School, and members of St. John's Lutheran Church in Union.

By Carol A. Stevens PlaladMtar Herald Newt Service At a recent meeting the school board of Johnsburg Unit District 12 formally approved the ap­ pointment of Maty Ellen Shine to replace board member James Preston who had resigned after serving for 12 years. , Preston was honored at the meeting by the other members of the board, administrators and some high school students. The students, Bob Nowak, editor of tte high school yearbook; Jeff Minhnfri* • • • * -- -- * attribute that to the school district. Our school system- I can't think of anyone who can match us. Thanks for all the help throughout the years." Ms. Shine will be formally seated on the board at the next meeting on May 28. In other business, the board commended the 13 Johnsburg students who recently took part in the downstate Vocational Industrial Clubs of America (VICA) contest and placed well in the , state-wide competition. The best performance came from three students in the diese) mechanics competition. Placing first, second and third. presented Preston with an award for his service to the journalism programs. This was done on behalf of all journalism students who each year choose someone who they feel has helped them in their endeavors. Preston also received a certificate and plaque praising him for his service. When he received the presentations, he replied, "I've been trying to students also placing in that area were Bob Heber, seventh place; Rich Thayer, ninth place; and Bill Scnmitz, thir­ teenth place. Students placing in other Griffen, thir- convince my wife for years how wonderful I am." He added, "I'm happy with how my (children) turned out and I PJ areas were Tom teenth place in small engines; Barth, f< " " Angie Barth, fourth place and Mindy Barth, eighth place in Commercial Sewing; Denise Norton, ninth, Sherry Hen- dershott, thirteenth place, Mike Leeke, sixteenth place, Lisa Tihinen, nineteenth place, in Commercial Art. Wettstein will be traveling to Phoenix, AZ., soon to compete in the national competition in diesel mechanics. His travel expenses of $1,016 will be paid by General Motors Corp., and if he takes first in Phoenix he will travel to Mainland China for the international competition. Steve Pollock, director of Vocational Education, indicated that he was proud of the students and the entire vocational education program, saying, "We took a sow's ear and made a silk purse out of it. We've used other people's junk to work on." He feels that using old cars and equipment provides better training for the students, rather than buying new equipment like some other schools do, ac­ cording to Pollock. The board also commended Paula Jargstorf, who recently participated in a program >nsored by the Hugh O'Brien Fouth Foundation. Ap­ proximately 200 students took art in the three-day seminar ild in the Palmer House Hotel in downtown Chicago. The youths discussed many con­ temporary subjects. ' The district is looking forward to receiving a significant in­ crease in funding for the gifted students' programs. Once more details are available on the increase, plans will be made to improve and increase the programs. The high school press box in the football field will be on the receiving end of • some remodeling which will expand the facility. The work will be mostly completed by the building trades students before the ena of this school year in June. Whatever finishing that needs to be done will be con*, pleted by the custodian. Tte plans call for a closed addition#) be made in the same manner a* the current pressbox. The windows to be used in the con­ struction were obtained by Pollock last year from a surplus program which makes surplus materials available to schools. The board voted to accept a gift of "Fit Core" fitness stations from the Wildcats Booster Club. The equipment will be installed on thejunior high grounds. m M Benjamin Moore PAINTS owerw FOR 37 YEARS...
