And our co-worker hadn't received our tax bill last week, which put us in a state of freeze for several mintues - almost $200 more than last year. In the midst of our depressed state, an eye came to rest on a copy of remarks made by the Illinois attorney general during National Victims Rights week, April 20-26. The first reading had not really impressed us. Now we read it again and suddenly realized we had been touched not by violent crime, but the kind that sneaks up insidiously and grabs the pocketbook. It hadn't happened just with the postage stamps, but also the IRS and the local taxing units. We're shutting out of our mind all those other people who have con­ tributed to an empty billfold, but we know there are plenty of them. The attorney general quoted Solon in the years 635-558 B.C. this way: "There can be no justice until those of us who are unaffected by crime become as indignant as those who are". We're indignant - a lot of people have been reaching into our purse! KAF GREEK FAMILY IN EASTER FEAST (Continued from page 1) of the family.

Although the Greek Easter church rites continue for three days, the Chrisopuloses were able to attend only one service, on Friday night in Elgin, because of the distance to the nearest church of their faith The Greek Easter is almost always observed a week following the American Easter celebrated by other Christian churches. Greeks say there is a stipulation determined by the First Ecumenical council of the Christian church that Easter must be celebrated on the first Sunday following the firs full moon of the Spirit Equinox (March after the Hebrew PAGE 20 - PLAINDEALER - WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1981 21) but always Passover.

STAFF PHOTO-WAYNE GAYLORD Insect Control Topic For McHenry Environmental Meet Home and Garden Insect Control through Integrated Pest Management is the topic of a program being spon­ sored jointly by the McHenry County Defenders and the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension ser­ vice Thursday, April 30, 7:30 p.m., in the auditorium of McHenry high school West campus, 4724 West Crystal Lake road, McHenry. After a brief intermission with refreshments, small groups will form to furnace, there's an electric heat pump. In summer, it pulls heat from the warm air in­ side and forces it out­ side to keep you cool. In winter, it reverses itself, drawing re­ sidual heat from the cold air outside and mumping it inside to ceep you warm. -lappy too, because all winter long this amazing little machine actually pro­ vides at least fifty percent more energy than it uses. And no­ body has to tell you what that means. All in all, a house that's energy-smart costs less to operate than one that's not so smart. And since the price of energy isn't going down for any of us, it'll be worth that much more should you ever decide to move on. If you're in the market for a new home, talk to one of the energy- smart builders. It could be the most smart thing you ever did. Commonwealth Edison IN THE BIG TIAAE AT 79 (Continued from page 1) he was a boy, French was his first language Thus, it wasn't too difficult for him to relearn the language for his first Peace Corps assignment in French- speaking Gabon. His early life also prepared him for any hardships he might en­ dure in developing countries. "As soon as we got out of the cradle, our dad would give us an axe." quips Long, who had 10 brothers and sisters. He was a lumberjack at age 15, cutting and hauling logs on a horse-drawn sled. Three years later, he joined the Army and served four years, first with a field artillery unit at Camp Pike, Ark., and then in coast defense in the Panama Canal Zone. "I'm accustomed to in­ conveniences, Believe me, nothing was harder than the storm-break days in the telephone company. We'd have to climb slippery poles in the wind and break the ice on the wires," recalls Long, who started as a lineman with AT&T in Detroit, Mich , in 1926 after two years of splitting logs and harvesting winter wheat in Maine and western Canada. "A lot of wire went off the reels," he says, commenting on his 41-year career with AT&T. Known as "Shorty" because of his 5'2'2" height, Long spent the first 14 years building and repairing lines in the field throughout 23 states in the East and Midwest, which, he main­ tains, accustomed him to adapt to new places. From 1941 to 1967, he worked in equipment main­ tenance for the I»ng Lines GrouD-Illinois Bell. I^ong started thinking about the Peace Corps a couple of years before his retirement from AT&T I'd had my hands in quite a few things." he notes. "I'd been a lumberjack, did farm work, some chicken-raising and con­ struction, and had a flare for designing and remodeling old houses. I also had a green thumb and went into landscaping a little bit on the side to capitalize on that. "The Peace Corps for me was something to do. I knew I could help and I went over there (to Africa) to render a service," he says. "Sure, you have to sacrifice, but work was what I was looking for and I got it." His first contact with the Peace Corps was in October, 1966, when he wrote, indicating that he would be available for service on April 1, 1967. a month after his scheduled retirement. That November, he was asked by the Peace Corps to go almost im­ mediately to Panama. "I couldn't make it because I wasn't due to retire until March 1," Long recalls. "Then in February, I got a telegram asking me to be at a hotel in Philadelphia on March 1." He went and joined the Peace Corps that very day. Following two months of in­ tensive training in St. Helena Island, S.C., Long was assigned as a technical advisor for a school construction project in Gabon. After about six months, the Peace Corps programs there were phased out and he was transferred to Sierra Leone. He spent the next 2"£ years, supervising the construction of two bridges and a school in Gloucester, a suburb of Freetown, the capital city. He finished his projects in the end of June, 1970, and went to Togo on July 4 as a Peace Corps volunteer advisor for the con­ struction of primary schools and dispensaries. While there, he helped to build 21 classrooms and a large school in Lome, the capital city. "I really did like Togo," says Long, who maintains friendships with people in the West African country. "It is French-speaking and, well ~ there's just something special about it." After 3'2 years in Togo, he took a vacation in the United States and on Jan. 1, 1974, accepted another Peace Corps assignment in Sierra Leone. JCirs^he went to the mountain town of Kabala to deal with a roof problem plaguing a new hospital extension. "It took two months to get the building ready to put the roof on," reports Long. "And while I was there, they took advantage of me and had me design and help build a football pavilion." Following a major .storm that 1 hit the Lungi area near the Freetown airport in 1975, Long became involved with the Catholic Relief Services school restoration and construction project and in­ troduced his new school design. Now "Pa" Long, as he was often called in Sierra Leone, is eagerly lookingforward to his new Peace Corps assignment. When asked the secret of his boundless energy and stamina at his age, he replies that he has always en­ joyed good health. "I had a strep throat once in 1941, he admits, pointing out, "I've never been a heavy drinker. Maybe, that's the answer." Would he advise other older Americans to think about Peace Corps service? "Definitely!" he exclaims, "they need people with experience and some of the knowledge we have that the young volunteers don't have. And you know," he adds with a twinkle in his eye, "We are looked up to." The Peace Corps, now celebrating its 20th anniversary, also "looks up to" volunteers like Odi Long Long, who has three brothers and two sisters living, has four children. Pat Long Loser of McHenry; Betty Long Dunn of Miami, Fla.; Terry Long Gon­ zales of Napa, Calif.; and his son in Ripon. A widower since 1957, he has 15 grandchildren and six great grandchildren. He calls 3610 W. Anne street in McHenry, home. discuss areas of specific concern, namely, garden pests, tree and shrub pests, law pests, and mosquito control. The groups will be led by persons who have practical knowledge of their subjects. A copy of the manual, Integrated PeSt Management for the Home and Garden, prepared by the Institute for Environmental Studies of the University of Illinois, will be given to each participant along with other helpful publications. An assortment of prizes useful in practicing integrated, pest management will also be awarded. The public is encouraged to attend this program which is open to all and free of charge. Stephen P. Briggs, Extension specialist in Entomology for the Cooperative Extension service, will be the principal speaker. Briggs received his B.S. degree in Forest Entomology from Michigan Technological university and his master's degree from Virginia Polytechnic institute and State university. He also worked there as graduate assistant in Extension En­ tomology. His experience includes insect surverying, running the Insect Identification laboratory, scouting corn, soybeans and alfalfa for insects, and preparing integrated pest management educational materials He joined the Cooperative Extension service staff in January of this year Integrated pest management, an ecological approach to pest control that seeks to reduce pest populations to tolerable levels with the least damage to the environment,combines the bestof old and new methods, according to the Defenders. Reliance on a single pest control method, such as a conventional chemcial pesticide, they say, does not provide the most favorable en­ vironmental protection, nor does it usually provide lasting results. The Defenders said, "Integrated pest management appears to offer the best approach to controlling pests without damaging the environment. Itsmethods include choosing plants which are pest- free when planted, practicing sanitation in the home and garden thus reducing the source of insects, en­ couraging or introducing the natural enemies of these pests - such as parasitic and predatory insects, spiders, insect diseases and birds, hand picking and trapping of pests, and using pesticides as an emergency measure when natural regulating factors or other suppressive efforts fail to keep pest populations below economically or esthetically acceptable levels." Beautification Day Is -May 23 Beautification is on its way and the McHenry Beautification committee planting date has been set. May 23 ha* been designated as the day when Girl Scouts from various troops will bA planting flowers throughout the city so that blossoms in the summer may beautify McHenry. All businesses and individuals are urged to get out the scrub brushes, brooms, paint and elbow grease and join in the effort to make McHenry a cleaner and prettier place in which to live. Setting a good example will be a group of Boy Scouts who have taken on a project of nitty-gritty cleaning up on some of the parkways. Their date is May 9. MBC urges all persons in McHenry to join the effort. Litter containers, not the sidewalks should be used for trash. An expanded program of planting annuals in barrels is being sponsored by some of the merchants, with a contest in the offing to coincide with Fiesta days. A fine addition to the flowering annuals will be several mini- rose gardens throughout the city. Mora >
