I Prepare For Solar Future McCullom Lake Dawn Miller 385-4901 Toby Scott, East drafting Instructor, left, Mark Elmore, architect, and Gary Clark, building trades student, review the passive solar model house built by Eric Karplnski. The Scale model house represents the new building trades house at 4833 Pyndale. McHenry high school has begun to consider the rising consumer expense for heating area homes as a topic of educational concern. The building trades and drafting programs are beginning to incorporate lessons on heat conservation and passive solar con struction. Recently, Bill Winkel, Toby Scott, Tom Eickenberg and Ron Dale attended the Illinois Department of Energy and Natural Resources workshop. Ar chitect Rodney Wright presented solar design data and building construction techniques that meet the needs of energy con servation-minded home owners. Wright presented the average climatic conditions for the six-county Chicago area and explained that it is necessary to heat structures 70 percent of the year and cool them only 7 percent of the year. He advocates new construction with "super" insulation and illustrated Temporary Hospital Eotrance The back entrance to Memorial hospital's emergency services area has been completely torn out, part of the remodeling program, and all access to the Emergency services area must be through the front entrance (South street), Lee Pesce, executive director, has announced. The temporary ramp and stairs have been removed as the expansion program progresses. Workmen are laying brick for the three- story pavilion. Parking for front entrance is immediately north of the hospital, across South street in the enlarged north parking lot which is well lighted throughout the night. several methods of cap turing solar energy to supplement typical heating systems. Several high school building trades programs in the State of Illinois have designed passive solar homes that are being built by students. Each instructor explained the solar features of their house. Solar houses with 1,152 square feet to 1,470 square feet have estimated annual heating costs from the low of $44.50 to $151.50 per year (based on 50 cents per therm). Larger homes of 1,812 to 4,300 square fleet have an estimated annual heating cost of $271 to $347 per year. It is now quite easy to see that houses of these sizes usually would have annual heating bills of at least double or triple of what has been shown here. The McHenry high school vocational teachers feel that students need to prepare for future jobs which the solar technologies will create and they need to become aware of the savings available as future home owners. If area families want to learn more about energy conservation, they can enroll in the May 1 and May 22 McHenry Community college workshops on solar water heating, conducted by local architect, Mark Elmore. For information on this and other energy programs, contact the college, 455-3700, extension 251. The McHenry high school building trades house at 4833 Pyndale will also feature heat conservation ideas at the May 23 open house from 1 to 4 p.m. RECONDITIONED MAJOR APPLIANCES •WASHERS •RANGERS •REFRIGERATORS •DRYERS Many to choos• from at affordable prices...all guaranteed at loast 30 day* for parts ft labor.

Road Trustee Ron Krumsee would like this message passed on to village residents from the disposal company. The garbage truck driver said he would be able to stay on the road better, if village residents would place their garbage cans out by the road, but away from the mailboxes. This would eliminate a lot of running on his part and would help the village streets. Another subject discussed was vehicle stickers. All cars are charged $10 but trucks are charged ac cording to the letters on their license plates. The bigger the truck, the bigger the letter and consequently, the bigger the fee. Larger trucks do more damage to the village streets, and so, have to pay more for their vehicle sticker. Many of you may have noticed the new 4-ton weight limit signs. Hopefully, this will help keep some of the heavier trucks from using village streets. Village board meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 8 p.m. at the beach house. Your village trustees are Roland Hughes-building & zoning, Carol Krumsee- finance, Ron Krumsee- roads, Tom Olson-health & welfare and Lois Parenti- park and beach which in cludes hall rental. All residents are welcome to attend these meetings.

CONDOLENCES We would like to express our deepest sympathies to the family and close friends of Richard White who passed away Saturday, April 10. Dick was a long time village resident who was well known and liked by many. Again, we are very sorry. r LADIES OF THE LAKE The ladies held their monthly meeting Thursday evening, April 8 at the beach house. Twelve ladies were present for the White Elephant sale. Needless to say, everything was sold. Mary Kantorski was welcomed back from a month long vacation in Arizona. She visited with friends out West, but her friends here were glad to have her home again. Refreshments were ser ved, and the grand prize winner was Carol Krumsee. The Ladies of the Lake's next meeting will be May 13, which will be hobby night.

MCCD's Director of Wildlife R e h a b i l i t a t i o n a n d Education project, Sally Joosten, will present color slides, songs and live critters to make the point that wildlife really can coexist with people. A big part of the Rehabilitation project work consists of educational programs about wildlife to school and service groups. This special program is open to the general public and will emphasize ways families can turn their yards into wildlife habitat without creating unwanted problems for themselves or for wild animals. To reserve a space call MCCD at (815 ) 678-4431 or (815 ) 338-1405. A walk along the trails at Marengo Ridge Con* servation site will focus on spring wildflowers Sunday, April 25, at 1 p.m. Trilliums, dogtooth violets, and spring beauties are jusQhfew of the species that blftom in profusion on tne site. Current natural processes operating on this formerly grazed forest are doing good restoration work, and it's there for county residents to learn from and enjoy. Marengo Ridge Con servation site is on Rt. 23, 1 mile north of Marengo. Spend Less Studies have shown that those who grocery shop alone spend less than those who shop with friends or family.
