May has been featured at storytelling festivals locally and nationally and is investing a year's dedicated effort into promoting the renewal of the art of storytelling. "For centuries stories have been a way for people to enjoy and cherish the company of one another. When I tell a story I try to enlighten and delight, but also to capture, for a fert^moments, the kind of direct, soul-tfcsoul communication that we have all experienced at some time in our lives under the 'spell' of a story, either in the listening or the telling." states May Jim finds his storytelling roots in the oral tradition of McHenry Coun­ ty. His performances often include his father's horse trading tales and stories swapped in his grandfather's genera] store in Spring Grove, as well as other examples of midwest humor and folk tradition. His many years as an elementary school teacher, college counselor-in- structor and consultant enables him to reach audiences of all ages and life situations. As a member of the National Asso­ ciation for the Preservation and Perpetuation of Storytelling, his rep­ ertoire also includes stories from the Southern Appalachians and folk tales from around the world. Among his credits are perfor­ mances at Corn Island Storytelling Festival; Hawaii Association of rytellers Conference; Art Institute of Chicago; University of Minneso­ ta-Northlands Festival; ai/d Copper Beach Tree Festival. The Professional Countil of the McHenry Area Chamber W Com­ merce, which sponsors these bi monthly all-member luncheons, in­ vited all interested persons to attend this presentation.

William Bolger (1st), who has long been a lobbyist for the plant, said having the engineering com­ plete could possibly "leapfrog" the McHenry project ahead of other towns. The city had originally put in for. the full $4.1 million, but it was ap- * parent the state was not about to put nearly 10 percent of all the available "Build Illinois" money into the City Accidents (Continued from page 1) of McHenry. In a meeting that included inter­ ested aldermen, Sen. Jack Schaffer, R-Cary; Rep.

"We're the friendliest church in the district," said Schneider. As part of the congregation's friendliness campaign, church members may only leave a meeting after shaking at least five hands, said Schneider. Already the church has built a new sanctuary and more fellowship space to accommodate the growing congregation. Schneider said plans are being discussed to build addi­ tional fellowship space and Sunday school classrooms. The anniversary celebration will begin Sept. 21 with dinner at the McHenry Country Club. It will be followed Sunday, Sept. 22, with spe­ cial church services.
