We began these additional services in July of 1979 after many months of planning." Kunzer explained that services of the system are provided by five established agencies spanning a com- pletespectrum of mental health services. The five agencies are the Youth Service bureau, Pioneer center, Family Service and C o m m u n i t y M e n t a l Health,Senior Citizens council and Department of Public Health. Each agency hra been designated by the 7flP board to implement one or more projects. "In fulfilling our projects' goals of early delinquent prevention by working closely jvith the schools," Kunzer continued, "we have opened new offices in McHenry and Crystal Lake and have been able to ex­ pand our total staff to seventeen. "A second and also ex­ citing part of the grant has enabled us to have a full time Consultation and Education (C&E) person working with a team for the Com­ prehensive Mental Health Service system as well as for the Youth Service bureau. Our C&E coordinator" is available to organize V presentations, workshops, and seminars concerning the services of Youth Service bureau and other sefvice providers in McHenry county, focusing on youth related problems." . „ The new Consultation and Education program is available to concerned community groups, clubs of classes and professionals to provide consultations, presentations, workshops and seminars.

I didn't get the one big thing that I wanted from the Jolly Old MJin (ap­ parently it was too hdrd to fit the airplane down the chimney) but everything else was very nice, and we all enjoyed being with our friends and family for the season. Now, we can all gear " up for the next holiday which strikes very shoftly-New Year's eve and day. With the new year about to start, we usually look back fondly on the past year to things that happened that were nice. But this year, we can also look back over the last ten years, and do the same. v As I look back, there are many fond thoughts which pop into mind which have changed my life drastically; such as my marriage, the birth of my two beautiful daughters, and the start of what I hope will be a suc­ cessful and long career as a law enforcement officer with the City of McHenry. I have met many good friends, antf\ have also lost many old friends, including my beloved grandparents, some to war and mishap, and some to natural causes. So many things to think about; it could take days to remember them all; but they will never be forgotten. Take a little time this New Year's eve to remember old and new friends, and send them a wish for their \#ell being, wherever they may be. Have a safe and a Happy New Year, bid 1979 a fond farewell, and welcome 1980 and hope that it is as good a year as was the last. See you next year!

For some, the buying urge is strongest after Christ­ mas when stores undertake "cleanup" and "pre-inventory" sales. The wise shopper will resist the temptation to buy just be­ cause the price is low, or dras­ tically reduced. Excellent clothing buys can be made af­ ter Christmas,, if you need the particular items on sale. Wrap­ ping paper and Christmas or­ naments are usually a good b .y, and can easily be saved until next year. Caution should be exercised, however, because sale mer­ chandise may have been soiled or damaged in the pre holiday rush No Change Economy is just a way of spending money with­ out getting any fun out of it- •Reporter, Kanawha, la. V\( >\, I ( ,< ) VU K'V O m T O I The annual fund drive of the United Way of McHenry County is slowly inching its way toward the 1979-80 goal of $210,000. The present status is $151,814. One of the 19-member agencies of the United Way that will receive financial help through this fund raising campaign is Youth Service Bureau for McHenry County, Inc. This organization has been the center of very positive ac­ tivity this fall according to Executive Director, Ken Kunzer. "We've had an incredible autumn," he said. "The McHenry County Mental Health (708) board has contracted with Youth Service bureau to provide three school based prevention-intervention programs " in McHenry county.

FIFTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of December 26, 1929) McHenry is going to have a n o t h e r c h a m p i o n s h i p basketball team to represent in jpdep#i<teBl ranks, i winter. This seems to be - the general opinion ex- ! >ressed by the majority of ans who witnessed the rout of the visiting team from Crystal Lake by our own locals, with an ever changing lineup that at all times held the situation well in hand. The final score was a mere 34 to 11 count, with Crystal Lake scoring but three field goals two of them in the first half and one in the last period. Eight men were sent into the game by Manager "Dutch" Bacon. Kinsala managed to capture high scoring honors with six ringers. Members of the McHenry team are Overton, Kinsala, Frett, Freund, Dowell, Conway, Whiting and Fay. Dec. 28 marks the fifth anniversary of the opening of the John Karls Lunch Room and Ice Cream parlor, located on Riverside drive in McHenry. FORTY YEARS AGO (Taken from the files of January 4, 1940) The McHenry House, an historical old site, formerly owned and operated by Jacob C. Bickler, witnessed the advent of new life and activity when the deal was closed making Myrtle Fels the new owner Of the building. A great deal of sentiment went with the signing of the paper as Mr. Bickler reluctantly turned the hotel over to the suc­ cessor who plans to put new vigor and beauty into the building which is located on the southwest corner of Riverside drive and Pearl s t r e e t . T h i s o l d f r a m e structure two stories high was built in 1888 by^Horace Long, who ran R/anout 10 years. It was called the Mansion House at that time. Until the courthouse^ was built and the county seat removed to Woodstock, the Mansion House was used as the courthouse. It was the second hotel in McHenry. The first marriage license issued in McHenry county in 1M0 was taken out by Floyd $1- Burger and Marian Elizabeth Morgan of Crystal Lake. TWENTY-FIVE ~ f YEARSAC. (Taken from the files of ttecember 29,1954) The year 1054 bright and its dark for individual resi the community, but for the City as a whole it has been a most pleasant, progressive . period. During the year,Itew and modern street lights were installed in the three business sections of the city, providing much more satisfactory lighting con­ ditions so badly needed. A new „hoiBp for• _vthe.. ©re department was also assured by an overwhelming favorable vote of the public. In McHenry, a new and much larger Country club was also opened at a cost of $115,000, keeping pace with the growing number of members and guests. A new theatre was also assured the public in late summer, when the necessary amount was authorized by interested persons. It would be hard to name any one highlight of the P l a i n d e a l e r ' s a n n u a l Christmas party, but everyone agreed that there was some magic in the amazing disappearance of huge quantities of food. Only disappointment was the inability of the staff to have their additions to S.I.H.'s money belt keep pace with increased inches on his waistline. TEN YEARS AGO^ (Taken from the files of December 30, 1969) The main lodge of the Bull Valley Hunt club on Cold Springs road was almost completely destroyed by fire Christmas eve and there was some damage to the building nearby which had been used by the owners as their residence. The majority of the field inventory on the Fox Valley Freeway has been com­ pleted, Transportation data, land use, zoning controls, and living pattern designations are but a few of the categories being tabulated and graphically portrayed. Historic traffic volume data has also been researched and recorded as an aid to late projections of traffic on the proposed freeway."1 David Cooper, 6610 West Rt. 120, McHenry, will spend three weeks during January in Europe as a member of a Lincoln college Inter-Session Political science class studying governments and culture of several countries.
