RICK MARTIN PHOTO What ten things contribute most to making you well? This question was posed by Dr. Joann Cannon at the annual meeting of the McHenry County Sub-Area council of the Health systems agency recently. Responses to the question covered a wide spectrum of things from good nutrition, adequate exercise, clean air , to job satisfaction, spiritual well-being, and harmonious family life. Few people listed things generally thought to be in the province of modern medicine - doctors, drugs, hospitals, or injections. These are all part of the old "health repair system" in which a person considered the matter of health only when it was threatened by disease. The orientation which Dr. Cannon is promoting emphasizes the conservation of health by positive prevention of disease. "We need to see ourselves as participants in wellness promotion instead of con­ sumers of health repair products", she advised. Dr. Cannon is a doctor of public health and an assistant professor for the University of Illinois Medical center in Chicago. She has developed the A.I.D.S. to Wellness Model for consumer health education. She emphasized the im­ portance -;of a wholistic approach to health which includes the awareness of all four human "bodies" - the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical. All four bodies must be in order for an in­ dividual to feel well. Dr. Cannon' speech was the beginning of a Health Systems agency pilot program on "wellness". Board members and other community leaders will design and participate in a year long program aimed at promoting individual wellness through good n u t r i t i o n , s t r e s s management, Weight con­ trol, exercise, and en­ vironmental sensitivity. For additional information on the wellness task force, contact the HSA office 312- 639-0061. Wild Dogs Scientists believe wild dogs were the first animals to be tamed by people at least 12,000 years ago. The first wild dog to be tamed probably was a wolf, and it is believed that most pet dogs are its descendants. McHenry Highlights FACTS FROM McHENRY COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL single determinant in their becoming har^" productive members of society in the 21st century." Novak continued to say that the most rewarding aspect of teaching is "seeing students challenge them­ selves and putting out the extra effort needed to reach their potential". One of the most rewarding experiences for him has been the sponsoring of the Yearbook. He said, "Helping the students take respon­ sibility for their yearbook and / perform like professional journalists givesi me a real sense of accomplishment. I can take pride in the fact that I've trained them in a marketable skill." Before coming to McHenry with his wife, Polly, Novak taught one year at Evergreen Park high school, Evergreen Park, 111. He graduated from Western Illinois university with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, and earned his Master of Arts degree in journalism from Northern Illinois university. In recent years he has also attended college workshops on journalism and school publications. , He is a member of the N a t i o n a l E d u c a t i o n Association, the Illinois Association of Teachers of English, the National Council of Teachers of English, and the Journalism Education association. Apart from school, Novak can be found enjoying his hobbies which include graphic arts, photography and traveling.

Novak has been an English instructor at both campuses for the past five years and also taught in the option, Education for Life, for two years. When asked why he entered the teaching profession, he replied, "With science, technology, and society moving at such in­ comprehensible rates, I realized that growing up in the later half of the 20th century would be more difficult than it ever was. Few 'tried and true' solutions exist for the problems facing today's youngsters. I wanted to help them become adults with the ability to learn.
