Page Twelve THE McHENRY PLAINDEALER Thursday, February 18, 1960 0 Wonder Lake RESUME SKATING INSTRUCTIONS IF WEATHER PERMITS J»ne Duoey homeowner's advisory board is making every effort to salvage what may be left of the skating ^season by getting a rink in -condition for skating at one of the beaches. If , the weather cooperates, gets cold enough for one thing. . . the instructors will be engaged for this Saturday. The peak Saturday saw 197 voting people turn out for instruction. Collectively this is a lot of weight for ice weakened by rising temperatures. SO. . . you are asked to check the Wonder Center beach first and then .the beach at Look Out Point this Saturday, if the weather has been favorable. One of tfye t\vd> beaches will have been prepared. The advisory board is interested in recent suggestions from the 'teens that a youth recreation center be provided at the lake. Big obstacle is the building with regard to rent, central location and suitability. The youth- committee of. the board would be glad to see to the ping-pong an$ pool tables, coke machine and music, as well as the adult supervision. L Anyone who has suggestions ^tebout where to house this rec center is asked to call Bob Kiddell, W L. 7683. snow removal done in Wonder Lake and the township. Considering the labyrinth of roads m the many subdivisions in Mcrienry township, all wanting immediate ' service, who could ask for a more efficient operation. Community Planning Surprise of the week was the refusal of the board .of supervisors to grant a petition to reclassify twelve lots in Oakwood Shores from residential to business. The denial was made at the recommendation of the zoning board of appeals. What puzzles us is why the business zoning of lots in Wonderview was approved less than two years ago. in the face of about fifty objectors who appeared at the hearing plus a fistful of petitions signed by many Lake residents, as compared to the seven objectors to the Oakwood petition. Reason given by the -zoning board in the case of Oakwood Shores is that the "property should continue to maintain a residential .character". It's a nice thought, but a little late. Not pnly is there business zoned property to the South in Widoff's subdivision, but lot> in Parker's Highlands to the North" were granted .a "B" classification about 4 years ago- , Extra Holiday A new found quiet prevailed in Wonder Lake homes Monday, marking the end of a five day holiday from school, which was set off by the "big snow". The road from the Sinclair station to Harrison was one of. the better examples around the county of what drifting snowcan do. Two cars and two trucks combined with the snow ' to block the road in front of Thompsons and it was not un- ^ til late Thursday evening that the vehicles were removed and the snow plowed out. The General "telephone trucks came through Thursday morning when Route 31 from Richmond to Ringwood was opened up. However, communications were not a problem In this storm nor was there interruption in Public Service facilities. Rumor has it that Van Kanegons ran out of LP gas. . We were impressed with the prompt and efficient job of Board of Education Candidates School board elections are coming up again. On the Harrison board the terms of Mrs. Maxine Lichtv and George Rink expire. Mrs. Lichty says she will not be a candidate this spring. Mr. Rink, however, plans to run for re-election.
