REMEMBERING WHEN - One of McHenry't early establishments was the McOmber Hard­ ware store on Main street. The business was purchased by Donovan and Relhansperger, later operated by C.J. Relhansperger, followed by William H. Althoff. The frame building burned to the ground when occupied by Althoff. Replaced by the present concrete building, it became the home of "Petie" Schaefer's Grocery ana Market. Pictured, left to right, are Frank McOmber, Johnny Brintt (a former slave, said to have been brought here by Dick Thompson, a Civil War Veteran) who served as janitor of the McHenry public school; Henry "Curly" Kamholz, holding a square; and the big fellow at the right, T.P. "Tinker Tom" Walsh, whose daughter, Louise, resides in McHenry. "Curly" Kamholz owned and operated a hardware store on the south side of Main street for many years, followed by Ed Nickels. "Tinker Tom" moved to Grayslake where he operated a plumbing, heating and hardware store.

The Illinois State Board of Education has awarded 67 Title IV grants for Fiscal Year 1982, including projects that address basic skills and others to prepare students for the challenges of the computer age. McHenry District 156 has a title grant for "The Simulated Employee Ex­ perience" (SEE). The federal grants under Title IV, Part C, of the Elementary and Secondary Education act total about $7.6 million. Reflecting priorities set by the State Board of Education on meeting the needs of local schools, the grants are awarded to projects on a competitive basis. "The Title IV projects address specific educational concerns of local school districts and will assist other districts in adopting or adapting proven programs resolving , similar problems^ Gill expl&fbfed. Of the 6^. grants', six are new development grants, 22 are development grants (continuations), 31 are development-demonstration grants (continuations), and eight are grants for funding the Illinois Centers for Educational Improvement. The development grants are awarded to projects that address specific educational needs. After development projects have been proven s u c c e s s f u l t h r o u g h evaluations by a group of educators, the projects are eligible for development- demonstration grants. The eight Illinois Centers f o r E d u c a t i o n a l I m ­ provement serve specific geographic regions and promote educational im­ provement within local school districts. Receiving one of the new development grants was the C a r r o l l - J o D a v i e s s Educational Service Region for administering "The P a r e n t I n v o l v e m e n t " project in Galena. Parents and K-8 students will par­ ticipate in the Title IV program, which will focus on the involvement of parents in the educational process of their children. Another of the new development projects will address the writing skills of students in junior high school. Bloomington School District No. 87 was awarded the grant. The education subjects addressed by other projects receiving development- demonstration grants in­ clude mathematics, special education, reading, writing, career awareness, energy education and early childhood education. Recommendations for Title IV grants are made to the state superintendent of education by the Title IV Advisory council, a com­ mittee mandated by the federal government to ad­ vise the state superin­ tendent. Work Continues On Hospital Construction Work continues, on the ; construction project at > Memorial hospital following ground breaking ceremonies in late July. For several days, heavy machinery dug, scooped and hauled as excavation progressed. Because of rainy weather and other problems, work moved at a pace slower than anticipated when contracts were let earlier this summer. However, Lee Pesce, executive director at Memorial hospital in Woodstock, reports that con­ tractors and architects have been supportive in that several essential sections of work were completed to prevent a hazardous situation and also assure no damage would occur to •»'§ » •&>: m 1216 N.

Once excavation is completed, footings need to be located and concrete poured. After that structural steel will be erected for the south pavilion. Following that step, ex­ terior brick work will take place and enclosure will permit work on the interior of the 43,000 square foot structure regardless of the weather. One of the first com­ ponents of the new project will be the employees' cafeteria-community room.
