LMNDKALER - WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER It. 1181 local emergency service prov' !us (ministers, nurses, teachers, police officers, etc.) and to the general public. In other business, the board noted and set for later consideration questions regarding the proposed billing and collection system. This is meeting some resistance from local agency administrators because the question of the use of the collections has not been resolved. The question is whether the agency keeps it or whether it is deducted from their allotted funds.

She briefly reviewed the history of the program which was set up in its present form in 1979. Prior to that it had been operated under FS & MHC through an answering service who •*5 referred callers to certain professional staff if the operator considered it an > emergency. The YSB also had a crisis ^ line for its clients. When federal money % entered the picture, 24-hour seRyice w specified with professional answering n and available on call. % Questions raised by the board in- S dicated doubts about the effectiveness of some responses by people presently 7* manning the lines and whether the > "target population" was being served. % Action by the evaluation committee and the Policy and Managehient board was L* deferred until members fen ny>pt wjth > the crisis line supervise •I Sally Fyfe, coordirfatoi/\or the ^Counseling and Edtieafiom unit, , • outlined for the board the focus ot these > services at the present time.

They emphasize developing skills such as parenting, and provide day care services for children, and other measures to help. Existing programs are being refined by better packaging that clarify mental health services offered and explain how they can be obtained. To illustrate, she displayed a series of brochures designed for distribution to AND MEANDERIN' (Continued from page 1) lake, there was a concert in progress in the park. With most summer concert season at an end, the appearance of an assembled group in bright red outfits aroused our interest to the point that we parked the car and joined the audience. There before us Wondersyff group" of senior cit based in Lynchburg, Va. They were singjrig and playing with all the spirit could be asked of professional •rformers. Their accent hinted of their geographical origin; their spirited /music provided an insight to the youth that remained within them in spite of the years they had lived. The age limit, we learned later, was 55, but most of them had topped the 70 mark. They formed their group a decade 3[o, mostly as the result of church filiation. But the movement gained in popularity and the membership expanded. Today, they rehearse year 'long, and then enjoy an extended trip. This year it was north into Wisconsin, Minnesota and other nearby states. One year the Ageless Wonders travelled to Hawaii. Another, they visited the White House to perform. In addition to the program we heard, one enthusiastic member explained that they have a complete religious concert also, to be performed in churches. "But nursing homes are our favorite", she added, "and how thosA \ patients do love it". * We left the park with a good feeling. Here was a group of seniors who refused to let the years destroy QMr zest for life, and in addition were providing enjoyment and inspiration for others. The group was reminiscent of McHenry's senior citzen kitchen of a few years ago. They did on a scale what these people have built a travelling entertainment feature. 1 It occurred to us that any community might boast of the same type group with some innovative leadership. Then we remembered the little boy. we had seen with the trombone. Ma;" some day, when he has done his in high school am) college bands, he have another opportunity to use hijg talent with a group like the Ageless Wonders KAF VOTE ONE GRADUATION (Continued from page 1) less important to them. Norb Wolter of (the administrative staff presented an overview of the results of last year's achievement testing program. The discussion fociised on an examination of student growth as measured by the test through the use of average scale scores^ They permit a comparison of student achievement over a period of time to determine growth made in the basic skills area. Wolter said results of last year's achievement testing program showed the class of 1982 to be about the national average in terms of basic skills development. Supt. Swartzioff described the program as complex, indicating that many factors enter into it. It was announced that the high school will adopt the SRA testing which has been given in the McHenry elementary district, providing a better continuity erf testing from junior high to high school.

Dodd^Bkked up his viewpoint by stating that some years ago there were 8 or 9 percent of the potential student population not in the classroom. Today, he continued, it is only about 2 percent. Dodds contended that the poor students would fall into the group not in the classroom, and the lower per­ centage not in school today means this element of the enrollment tends to bring down the rating.

Recycling saves natural resour­ ces. For example, one ton of recycled newspaper will save 17 pulp trees. In the oil re-refining process, 65 percent of every gallon of used motor oil can be extracted and made into a good grade motor- oil in use now by large transport companies. 2 - Recycling saves energy. For example, five percent of the energy is used whoi aluminum products are from recycled aluminum rather from the raw material. 3 - Recycling saves landfill space. More than 3,500,000 (3*4 million) pounds of material were recycled through projects in McHenry County last year. This means a savings of over 6,000 cubic yards of landfill space. 4 - Recycling saves trash pick-ups. In many cases, recycling families have been able to cut down on the number of being made into useful products again. Citizens are reminded that the aluminum pay-back program is in effect at both the first ahd third Saturday's drives and that since Aug. l no magazines, cardboard, or junk mail have been able to be accepted. Anyone having questions regarding the preparation of materials for recycling may call the McHenry County Defenders representative at 385-8912.
