McHenry county residents have a right to obtain social and informational services. When a person or family needs help, where can they go? How can they determine what help is available? The answers to these questions are addressed by the Forum For Community services. What is the Forum? The members are representatives of the majority of McHenry county social service agencies and private assistance groups whose purpose is to serve McHenry county residents. The primary objectives of members are: (1) to meet with other professional and lay persons who are working to solve problems, (2) to get to know individuals who work in a professional or lay capacity providing services, (3) to know what is already offered in the county so duplication of efforts can be stopped and joint efforts established and (4) to share ideas, solutions and problems. The Forum is eight years old and is the format for other "interagency councils" in Illinois. The Forum works basically with no budget. Through the Forum, county residents can receive help from 350 to 400 public and private groups. Anyone who is interested can attend the monthly meetings and lend their support. The Forum meets tth^e fourth Wednesday of each; month, September through June. The members present have a short business meeting, share problems and learn about new programs. Then, a formal program is presented to inform members more fully of a certain area. This year, programs will cover "Senior Citizens Meet & Eat sites", "Job Career school at MCC", "States Attorney - His Com­ mitment to McHenry County Citizens", "Prevention of Developmental Disabilities", "The Migrant Council", "G.E.D." programs and five additional programs. For the past three years the president of the council yas been Bill Biscomb from the local Social Security office. The new president is Nancy Moore, Senior Extension adviser in Home Economics with the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension service. Retiring secretary is Ann In- delicato from D.C.F.S. Diane Jamiolkowski will be the new secretary. Ken Kunzer from the Youth Service bureau will continue as program chairman. One county organizational programs to come out of the Forum is the human services network which coordinates all agencies which have programs so as not to duplicate services. Another is the Parental Assistance Incorporated, which addresses the problems of child abuse. For additional information, contact Nancy Moore, P.O. Box 431, Woodstock, 111., 60098 or call 338-3737 or 4747. The October meeting is the 24th at 9:30 a.m. at the Court Services building on Route 47 in Woodstock. Kid Comic Brings Laughs To College Alex Cole, alias Kid Comic, will bring mirth and merriment to an audience at McHenry County college in the first show of the year scheduled by the Student Life committee. Cole, a 22 year-old who is fast coming of age in the era of the rebirth of the American Club Comic, will perform at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9 in the college lounge. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at the Student Activities office, room 145 of the Main hall building. Cole delivers his material with the poise and craft of a veteran twice his age. On the stage since he was 15, playing old-time radio shows and Acme Theatre companies, he delivers interpretations of real and fantasy situations. He has the face and voice that at a moment's notice can turn anyone from Amoeba Man to Captain Space Zero and his Boy Companion, Billy Galaxy, as well as some of today's top political and entertainment personalities. Alex Cole leaves his audience with the feeling that not only have they been entertained, but also, they have been included in a creative process that makes a show with Alex Cole a special and unique event. L.L.C.C.I. Makes Changes The new meeting date for the Lily Lake Conservation Club, Inc., will be on the second Monday of every month, at the main hall of the Lakemoor municipal building, at 7 p.m. Apologies to Trustee Connie O'Rourke, public property chairperson and Charles Sch­ midt, director of public works, for the melted plastic container left after the last meeting. At the board meeting last Wednesday night, lack of funds was discussed by George Kawell; dredge repair by Jerry „ Weber, Bill Fritzsche and Dale Rasmussen; new funding ideas by Mitzi Gurske, including a Spook House on Halloween, and a bake sale with a special treat by Paul Starcyk. A letter of resignation from President Bruno Karas was read by secretary Maggie Dunnagan. Bruno is relinquishing the presidency due to health reasons, and is hoping for strong leadership to come forward to implement new ideas and a broader plan of action. He will stay active with , the club that was founded through his efforts, but will no longer be at the helm. The next general meeting on Oct. 8, should prove very interesting. Come and see. WHAT A WELCOME! The Don Roberts family, new residents-to-be in Lilymoor, ' had a great initiation into our ' community. They have been busy remodeling their home on Southside. One day last week, they went out for lunch to return and find over $400 worth of tools stolen from their locked home: The Roberts and their four children are improving our area through their hard work, and along come some turkeys and steal from them. Again4 it seems that neighborsF^ifoust become more watchful to help prevent theise crimes. The community apologizes, Mr. and Mrs. Roberts, and extends a sincere welcome. CELEBRATION TIME Scott meyer and Terry Greene celebrate their natal days on Oct. 4. Oct. 5 is shared by Billy Freeman, Joseph Yerkes and Vickie Mayo. Gloria Cassell, stalwart member of the Methodist church in McHenry, celebrates Oct. 7. Oct. 8 is a triple-header, with Prudie Huffman, Louise V\feathenaiDof In winter. For the past severed winters, many parts of the country have experienced energy , shortages. The oil and coal needed to make electricity couldn't be delivered. Rivers were frozen. Stockpiled coal was frozen solid. The machinery to move coal was frozen. As fuel ran low electricity had to be rationed. Plants and schools were closed. People were laid off Shivering became the national pastime. But not in . northern Illinois. It wasn't luck that got us through those winters; it was nuclear power. Over 40% of the electricity we make comes from nuclear fuel. Because no matter how much it snows or how cold it gets, nuclear fuel is available-weatherproof. Enough uranium to nrovide all the electricity Commonwealth Edison electricity is made mostly trom abundant coal and uranium That helps to conserve the scarce tuels oil and natural gas we need for an Illinois winter can be stored in a one-car garage. In summer. Nuclear power gives us the reliability we need to respond to summer peak demands without brownouts. In the last decade,. when growth of air conditioning helped increase demand for electricity more than 50%, Edison's nuclear stations had an unbroken record of summer availability And nuclear power is today's great energy bargain. It costs about a penny a kilowatt hour less than coal and two to three cents less than oil. If we'd replaced our uranium with low sulphur western coal in 1977, it would have cost an extra $280,000,000 in fuel expense. Oil or gas would have driven the cost up to over one-half billion dollars. Instead, the nuclear fuel we used, the equivalent of 47,000,000 barrels of oil, saved over 10% on your electric bill. With our strong nuclear capability, we're ready for the weather. Let it snow. Let it sizzle. Epperson and three year old Jeremy Brizzi running the birthday race. Little Robert Michael Glus adds another year on Oct. 9, as does dear friend LaVerne Schueler. Joe Yerkes has no problem remembering his wedding anniversary, as it falls on his birthday, Oct. 5. Toni ab­ solutely will not accept the excuse "Our anniversary? I forgot", from Joe. Bud and Alma Hueckstaedt will add another year of togetherness on Oct. 6. This past year has been filled with travel, helping neighbors, working, and en­ joying the grandchildren. Oct. 8 is Chuck and Louise Epperson's wedding date, and it Is Chuck's turn not to believe Louise's not remembering their an­ niversary, as it is also her birthday. Enjoy another year in good health, joy of anticipation, and the memory of fulfillment. BOY BABY TIME The Willard Pierce's have been blessed with a boy grandchild. Isabelle has been at daughter Ann's home in Wisconsin this past week, sharing in the excitement and wonder of a new life. Baby, mother, father and grand­ mother are all doing well. Aunt Ruthie has been shouldering some of the responsibilities in her mother's absence, by taking care of the male members in the Pierce household. Terri Woodard is now home with her little-over-five-pound baby boy, Carl. There is an added warmth and excitement in the grandparent's home. Another boy child making his appearance on Sept. 20, was Erik David Snyder, son of Mary Ann and Pastor Ric Snyder of Faith Presbyterian church. Prayers were answered for a healthy baby, a happy mother and a surviving father. GET WELLS Del Watkins was hospitalized this past week. Jackie Stromley was in Condell hospital un­ dergoing tests and treatment. Wishes for good health also go to Charles Nettles.
