Haffner, McHenry County CETA Director are shown with Dr. Davis as he accepts plaque from the Illinois American Legion Executive Council for outstanding services. The Illinois American Legion Executive Council presented McHenry County College a plaque for outstanding services the College has provided with the Comprehensive Em­ ployment Training Act (CETA). MCC is the only Illinois College with a Veterans Work Experience Program financed by CETA. The program provides the veterans work experience and also sup­ plements monies received throught the G.I. bill. Par­ ticipants in the program must be veterans, a resident of McHenry County, and a student Veterans are placed in non-profit organizations throughout the county by the CETA Office in Woodstock or the MCC Veterans Affairs Office. The plaque which will be permanently displayed at the College reads: "The Depart­ ment of Illinois American Legion Economics Commission Citation of Recognition Awarded to McHenry County College in appreciation of unselfish service to the com­ munity, and loyal co-operation with the employment program of the American Legion for their assistance to Veterans with the CETA program." St. John the Baptist church in Johnsburg is being restored. Gregory Nowak is shown sitting in the cherry picker. Standing watching are Father Leo Bartel, pastor of St. John's. John Anderson and Jerry Olsen. Restoration Of German Gothic Church Underway Phase One of the Restoration of the German Gothic 76-year- old St John the Baptist church in Johnsburg is underway. It is beginning with removal of the East and West entrance steps and replacement with a wheelchair ramp at the East entrance and a new platform and steps at the West entrance. While this work progresses, investigation and planning by the Architect, John Vincent Anderson of Woodstock, will continue. The philosophy of the restoration has been to work from the 'outside-in'. After initial investigation indicated the church is in sound struc­ tural condition, with only minor repair work needed, the roof was the next area of in­ vestigation. Members of the building committee joined the architects in this study by going up in the cherry picker' (above picture) to investigate roofing, flashing, and metal work on the upper parts of the building. As a result of these investigations the parish council has decided to replace the existing asphalt shingles with a permanent metal roof. The original metal work- copper gutters and ten metal cornices is in basically good condition and can be repaired and refurbished. Since there is not adequate time for completion before Winter, construction work on the roof will begin next Spring. Next on the schedule for construction this Winter will be storm vestibules inside the East and West entrances. After the roof is completed, stained glass windows will be repaired, rotted wood frames will be repaired and-or replaced, exterior brick will be cleaned and painted, thus; when the building has been made "watertight", work will continue on the interior. Funds for this restoration are coming largely from a unique parish project called the "Personality House". As work begins on the church, the public is invited to inspect the manages to pull some weeds out of the planter while bal­ ancing six-month-old son, Dwight, on her hip.

Rotary Club Observes Youth Activities Week The Rotary Club of Rich­ mond will join with more than 16,700 Rotary clubs in 151 countries, regions and territories during the period of 10-16 of October to mark the annual Youth Activities Week. Youth Activities Week, sponsored by Rotary In­ ternational, seeks to promote international understanding, good will and peace through the association with young people. Bruce Adams, president of the local club, said the week is the time when Rotary concentrates on developing youth activities. The Rotary Club of Richmond has recently made a sizeable contribution toward the Jaycee tennis court project in Rich­ mond and gave a $100 scholarship to Diana Roberts who is attending McHenry County college. This year Rotary clubs worldwide will sponsor the exchange of more than 5,000 high school age students among their countries and cooperate in projects to provide aid to scores of other students and student programs. Rotary International is an organization of clubs whose members are business and professional men. It's aims are stated in the Object of Rotary which encourages and fosters the ideal of service as a basis of worthy enterprise and, in particular, in respect to young people.

The fair will be open from 10 to 6 each of the two days and there will be an evening program at the school Saturday, Oct. 16 at 8 Working from drawings prepared by Peter F Koenig. Defender board member and one of the Junior Defender advisors, these junior members are constructing a 9 foot high solar heated shower, a solar heated outhouse, a hydronic home heating system and a hot air home heating system. The four models are representative of the four choices available to the homeowner today in basic, low-technology heating systems. The shower is an updated version of the first central plumbing systems installed in homes - water is pumped to a storage tank in the highest part of the building and gravity delivers it where needed. The Junior Defenders have updated that version by adding a solar collector. By merely placing the collector lower than the storage tank a natural phenomenon called ther- mosiphoning circulates the water between the tank and collector, with the heated water ending up on the storage tank. Opening a hot water tap draws hot water off the top and allows cold water replacement in the bottom. The second system which is under construction by these young people is the pumped hydronic home heating system, which uses water as the process building PAGE 9 - PLAINDEALER-FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, u while being more energy ef­ ficient at the same time. This model is also a basic representation of the totally passive heating system, in that it has no moving parts and probably is the ideal system. A study at the University of Illinois on a very well insulated test house proved that the system not only works, but works too well and, at times, produced too much heat. When the idea was initially raised to build these models the Junior Defenders gave an unanimous vote of approval, but on the first work day only one person came. But his en­ thusiasm spread and Mr. Koenig. who lives close to Crystal Lake high school, reports that on any given day the young people have been dropping by to work on the" models from early morning until dark - whenever they have a few free minutes. In addition to the enjoyment of working together and building the models the Junior Defenders, who range in age from about middle grammar school through college age, are getting a substantial back door education. They are acquiring basic skills in carpentry, metal working, plumbing as well as basic engineering knowledge in solar utilization, hydronics, air heating and handling principles and, what will probably prove to be the most valuable knowledge of all, the wise use of energy. Along with these models will be others constructed by young people and adults, commercial exhibits and models, and posters, books and other material. The displays will be in the large double gym, and the large ones outside on the playground. There is still time to register a project, anything utilizing wind power, solar energy or methane generators, wood burning devices. If anyone has a school science project that* fits the solar energy category, it may be entered. A free SOLAR NOW tee shirt will be given to each student displaying a model. Call Peter Koenig or the other two committee persons, Mrs. Bert Boerner, and Mrs. Wm. Carroll, Jr., if you have a project to display. There will be no entrance fee to the fair, either for exhibitors or visitors.

Selby. medium but employs pumps to push it around, thus the storage tank can be located in the basement. In locations where subfreezing temperatures are encountered, two possibilities exist, either an anti freeze loop with a heat exchanger in the storage tank, or the use of a freezestat and additional storage space. When outdoor temperatures drop below 38F the collectors automatically Sn into the storage tank, r. Koenig designed the ?r type into this model, and the collector is a small training model provided by William B. Edmondson, designer of the patented SolarSan collector Edmondson is publisher of Solar Energy Digest and for­ merly Utilities Engineering Officer, U.S. Marine Corps. The third model, the hot air home heating system, is adaptable to the most common heating system found in the northern Illinois climates, the forced air system. The model will employ a combination rock-water storage bin. The actual construction technique being used in the outhouse model is an ex­ perimental sandwich wall of skinned insulating foam, a which could reduce costs in the future MORTIMER'S WONDERS 7120 Barnard Mill Road - Wonder Lake - 653-9544 WEEKEND SPECIAL SHRIMP BOX With Fries & Cole Slaw FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY Friday Fish Nite Salad Bar with Entrees SPECIAL PERCH with fries and slaw All You Can Eat.
