MUSIN' AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page I) savers, as one healthy duck family can testify following their harrowing experience last week. James E. Dickens of 804 Melrose court, Whispering Oaks, received a call from a neighbor, Elmer Warner, to watch a mother duck and her brood of 11 as they walked near the curb. Dickens went outside and found the old duck under a truck which was parked over a drain He failed to see her family, but could hear them underground and had lo assume thai as each one followed Mom, the small body passed between the grating. A call for help brought two police officers and iwo members of the rescue squad, ihe latter with equipment to remove the heavy grating. With minnow nettings supplied by neighbors, one of the rescuers went down the drain and came up with the entire family of 11 intact. Meanwhile, Mother Duck flew low overhead, excitedly contributing to the rescue effort with her flapping wings. Left alone, the little ones huddled together on the lawn. Mother came, and without reprimand, led her flock down the street hopefully experienced enough io avoid any other drains that might be in the area. KAF HEATCOULD CAUSE TROUBLE Although it is too early to be making {wedic lions, ihe Corn Belt could produce an excellent corn crop this year. But the crop is not out of ihe woods yet. Record- high temperatures during ihe upcoming pollenation period could cause some concern. Illinois Farm Bureau's private forecasters can see some 100-degree weather coming up, just about the same lime that ihe tassels are emerging from ihe corn plants. The effects on corn yields this fall are still uncertain. School District 156 New Board Member, Administrator Named in JOSM'IH <M»1> staff psychologist .newt from the Family Service and Mental Health Clinic ol McHenry County. East campus principal Bill Dodds looks on as Emory Swinney of Oldham County high school, Ky., signs contract accepting position as assistant principal at East. He replaces Norh Wolter, who was assigned as administrative assistant to the superintendent last May. STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD (Editor's note: This is another in a series of especially written articles for McHenry County readers. Joseph Cools is a psychologist on the Family Service and Community Mental Health Center staff. This article is Coping - Receiving and Giving compliments. A woman whom I saw in my office ihis week started 10 make a complaint that her husband never gave her a compliment, that he seemed io take her for granted. She went on to explain that she also never complimented him about anything, adding ihat, "I guess when people gel married you don't have to compliment your spouse anymore, you just do what is expected." Perhaps "compliment" is a bad word, in thai it implies flattery, but giving verbal appreciation when someone either looks nice or does something well is extremely important. In almost every home there are several times during the week that the thought will occur to you, "ihat was really a good dinner", or, "my wife sure looks nice today", or, "the lawn looks great, it sure needed cutting". Instead of just thinking these things, try letting the one respon­ sible for it know that you noticed and appreciate it. Compliments should be just that: a spoken ap-. p r e c i a t i o n f o r s o m e e f f o r t o f another person. If you think you are complimenting someone by saying "ihe dinner tonight was really good, but the roast could be a little more done", you are mistaken. A compliment never has a "but" attached io it. Most of us have no dif­ ficulty showing appreciation io people at work, or to friends that have done a good job. Showing ap­ preciation and concern for your spouse or children is as important if not more im­ portant than to one's colleagues or friends. A new board of education member and assistant principal joined McHenry High School District 156 at the last regular meeting. The board appointed Michael Low, 4912 W. Bromley, McHenry, to fill the unexpired term of Paul Nitz, who resigned at last month's meeting. And following an executive session, Emory Swinney of Oldham County high school in Kentucky, was approved as assistant principal at East campus in place of Norb Wolter, who was assigned as administrative assistant to the superin­ tendent in May. Low is the second board member to be appointed within the past month. At the regular June meeting, Robert Anderson of Wonder Lake was appointed to fill the vacancy of Dan Mc- Nulty. Low, who is an in­ surance broker, advises that he has no children in the high school system as yet, although he has iwo youngsters who are in, or will enter, the elementary schools. He indicated that he was selected for the position because of his continuing inierest in school affairs. Board president Edward J. Neumann assigned him to the insurance, building and curriculum committees. Supi. Robert gJ Swartzloff indicated that (he 35 year old Swinney comes io the district with excellent qualifications and ex­ perience. He has served as an assistant high school principal since 1975 and has iaught math and history. His background also includes guidance counseling. Swinney has a B.S. and also a master's degree in counseling, both from the University of Western Kentucky, and has done graduate work at the University of Louisville. In other personnel actions the board approved retaining William Godshall as ihe SEE (Simulated Employee Experience) project coordinator for the district Supi. Swartzloff said that the district had been notified by the Illinois state board of education that it had received funding for another year for the ESEA, Title IV Part C project. This is a development- demonstration grant in which ihe district seeks to enroll other districts lo expand the SEE concept through the slate. Holly Walker was also reemployed as half time assistant coordinator for the project. Other employment in­ cluded Mary Johnson as half lime home ec. instructor at West campus, Barbara Skarzynski as East campus secretary, Mary Pierce, as transportation secretary, Marilyn E. Romme as West c a m p u s b u i l d i n g secretary and Robert Clove as head custodian for West campus. Early retirement for George Chandler, science instructor at East campus, was approved by ihe board after ihe attorney, Allyn Franke, advised members thai they really had no other Trench Collapse Kills Spring Grove Worker A construction worker, Kendall Ruff, of Spring Grove, was killed last week when the walls of a 15-foot- deep trench collapsed and buried him al a site in Marengo. Three others -- John option. The lime guidelines for application set in their policy for staff retirement adopted in March was before ihe enactment dale specified, and besides, the law became effective June 1, Franke indicated. Board discretion applies actually to the number of eligible employees approved for retirement, which has a limit, and their prioritizing according to seniority. Other terminations ap­ proved included that of Harriet Chandler, East campus librarian; M. Rex Hester, East camp^ reading instructor; Jean Marlinec, transportation secretary; and Deborah Sherman Wilson, secretary at West. Harhan, of Marengo; Jerry Shasteen, of Union; and Erwin Janis, Chicago -- were also injured in the dave-in. Shasteen and Harhan were treated and released at Memorial hospital, Wood- slock. The men, employees of Jason Industries of Marengo, were laying 8-inch sewer lines for a new sub­ division in Marengo when the mishap occurred. Work on the construction site was halted until an in­ vestigation was completed. Reason Enough The fact that figures don't lie is a good reason to stick to a diet. -Courier, Waterloo, la.
