ive Concert Kantorei member Todd Brunning receives his robe from Mrs. Christine Beem prior to a concert. The boys' choir will perform at St. Mary's church, McHenry, at 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 16. The internationally ac­ claimed Kantorei, "The Singing Boys of Rockford," will perform in concert Sunday, Dec. 16, at St. Mary's church, McHenry, at 4 p.m. The Kantorei is composed of boys aged 10 to 18 from the greater Rockford area. They have been praised by musicians and general audiences for their out­ standing musicianship and stage presence. By using older boys whose voices have changed, the Kantorei can sing a wider variety of music utilizing the range of voices to sing up to eight-part harmony. It has gained a reputation as an outstanding per­ forming choir known for its interpretation of a variety of both sacred and secular literature from the Renaissance: to con­ temporary, including an- tiphonally performed madrigals, modern and folk music/ In its fifteenth year, the Kantorei has traveled ex­ tensively throughout the United States, Scandanavia and Great Britain. The choir is under the direction of David Bur- meister, who is also choral director at Rockford's Auburn high school. He is in his second season as choir director, having succeeded Linden Lundstrom who founded the Kantorei in 1964. Each boy trains three hours with the choir, two hours with the full choir and one hour of sectional practice. The boys memorize the music and must pass a test on each song for each concert or for a tour. A choir school offers preliminary training for boys in the first through fourth grades, preparing them to enter the main choir. Tickets may be obtained in advance from Fred and Connie Schmidt, Jim and Rita Thennes, Fr. Bob Balog, or at the door. School Personnel In Energy Training McHenry Elementary School District 15 recently had building principals A1 Boeldt, Jim LaShelle, John Nilles, Ed Sobotkiewicz, Oscar Sola and Don Toole, and head custodians, Gerry Becker, Frank Fontana, Gerard Justen, Carmi Lon)bardi, Ed May and Vern Reinboldt, in attendance for an Energy Auditor Training session conducted by the Illinois Institute of Natural Resources. The institute, in cooperation with the Illinois Office of Education, has initiated a statewide program of energy con­ servation^ in schools. One of the main goals of the program is to reduce energy consumption and dollar expenditures for energy by improving the energy ef­ ficiency of present school buildings. The Institutional Buildings Grant program, part of the National Energy act, will yield federal grants to assist Illinois schools with their energy conservation programs. The federal regulations governing this program call for an energy audit of institutional buildings before a state can participate in the grant program.

According to Monroe Woods, USDA midwest and universities from 10 states. John Allen of 5902 Valley View road, McHenry, won fifth place with his partner in the Duo Interpretation class. He won fourth place in Novice Dramatic In­ terpretation. regional administrator for the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), this figure indicates a majority of Illinois retailers are generally abiding by, the regulations of the federally funded program designed to provide low income or needy families, the elderly, and the disabled with additional assistance to purchase food for a well-balanced diet. USDA monitors a retailer's use of the food stamp program by periodic checks designed to insure that the retailer is abiding by the federal* regulations. Another effective method of checking a retailer's actions comes from reports from private citizens who believe they have seen, an illegal food stamp transaction. Woods indicates that the most frequent violation is the acceptance of food stamps for the purchase of ineligible items. These ineligible items most frequently include paper products, cigarettes, household cleaning products, and alcoholic beverages. Once a retailer has been investigated and found guilty of violating the program regulations, he is subject to a disqualification from accepting food stamps for a period ranging from 30 days to 3 years. In cases where the disqualification of a food store would result in the complete absence of an authorized food store in any area and the violation oc­ curred after Jan. 1, 1979, a fine may be imposed rather than a disqualification.
