EXPAND BANK FACILITIES (Continued from page 1) Located on the second floor of the structure will be the bookeeping department, customer service and the auditing department. The full basement will accommodate the proof department. All three floors will be served by an elevator. The architectural firm which designed the structure is the Bank Building corporation which designed the present bank building on Elm street. Tonyan Construction company of McHenry will construct the building. Since beginning its operation in McHenry, the McHenry State bank has operated in three locations. It was originally located in the Brefeld building on the south side of Main street. In 1915, a new building on the north side of Main street was completed. In 1956, the bank was moved to its present location. In 1966, the bank was doubled in size when an addition was added, while in 1974, the safety deposit vault was enlarged to its present capacity. According to Bank President Thomas F. Bolger, the new site will be completely landscaped and the acquisition of ad­ ditional property in the area will be used to create more parking space. Bolger indicated that future plans for the site include the expansion of the main banking facility following the com­ pletion of the new building at Pearl street and Richmond road: Bolger also announced that because of the inconvenience that will be caused during construction, the present drive- in windows will operate longer hours beginning June 26. Bank officials hope that the new drive-in lanes will be in .operation before eleven months when the remainder of the structure is scheduled for completion. Prust indicated that the entire bank block would be tastefully landscaped.

John Bobbe, manager, an­ nounced recently that the McHenry County Association for the Retarded has expanded its Vocational Evaluation services by establishing a Vocational Evaluation center in Woodstock. The Evaluation center is designed to serve the han­ dicapped and disadvantaged who seek services from the McHenry County Association for the Retarded. The center also provides services to other agencies as well as accepting private referrals, such as clergy, families, and physicians. "Our goal is to help each person establish a vocational goal consistent with his capabilities" said Bobbe. "We have more than 100 work samples and testing in­ struments to help us. Some devices help us evaluate the ability to work with the hands. Others test decision-making ability. Still others help us determine an ability to use hand tools." "Our end product for all evaluees is to match skills and interest with abilities and capabilities. This gives a person a head start in a vocational area, whether it is a person seeking employment in industry for the first time or an individual in need of vocational training." Before the establishment of the Vocational Evaluation center on Washington street in Woodstock, the association had evaluation units at the organization's Vocational Rehabilitation centers at McCullom Lake and Crystal Lake. "We have the capability to provide Vocational Evaluation services to the developmental^ disabled, as well as others who would benefit from the Vocational Evaluation ex­ perience," continued Robbe. Referrals have been ac­ cepted from such agencies as Court Services, Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (C.E.T.A.), Illinois Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, and Family service and Com­ munity Mental Health centers. The center's staff consists of two evaluators, a receptionist, an intake admissions counselor and an evaluator's aide. Bobbe heads the department and is also a skilled evaluator. Expanded vocational evaluation services to serve the handicapped and disadvantaged are available at Pioneer center's new Job Evaluation center in Woodstock. John Bobbe, right, manager of the center, watches as this man performs on a Singer Graflex bench assembly work sample. This device helps assess the use of ordinary tools. (DON PEASLEY PHOTOGRAPHY) Bobbe said he became in­ terested in the disadvantaged because hf has a handicapped brother. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in Vocational Rehabilitation from the University of Wisconsin- Stout in 1974. He received his Master's degree in Vocational Rehabilitation, specializing in Vocational Evaluation, in 1975. He joined the McHenry County Association for the Retarded in August, 1975. At the Vocational Evaluation center in Woodstock, he and the staff have the capabilities to serve fourteen individuals a week. The length of the evaluation period is from four to eight weeks and is contingent upon each individual's abilities to complete their program­ ming.
