1 PAGE 3-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1971 Wonder Lake Mary Jean Huff 653-916 Couple Celebrates Anniversary With Florida Vacation To celebrate their twentieth wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Kaefer recently took a three week trip to Florida, which included a seven day cruise to Mexico and the Bahamas. With them they took their children, Mark and Krista, and Tom's folks, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Kaefer of Chicago. They boarded a ship at Fort Lauderdale and took an active part in all the shipboard activities while cruising to the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico, site of the Mayan ruins, and : Freeport Island in the Bahamas. Gert tells us the shopping in this primitive part of Mexico was very reasonable, that they ate some of the native food, including Conch salad which is similar to shrimp cocktail and that Mark was able to rent a Honda mini bike to tour the countryside. They also spent some time camping in the Florida Keys, did some beach combing and shelling and visited with friends on the west coast of Florida. NEW BIBLE CHURCH The building of the new Wonder Lake Bible church is nearing completion. By April 30, the builders expect to be out and the church people will then begin painting and doing whatever chores they can to finish their church. The Ladies Fellowship of the Bible church will meet at 7:45 p.m. Tht sday, March 18. The Dorcas group will be in charge of the rtieeting and the theme will be green. The Ladies Fellowship is divided into four groups; Naomi, Rhoda, Esther and Dorcas. Each group is in charge of two meetings a year. They are now in the process of planning a Mother-Daughter banquet on May 13 at the McHenry Country club. NEW DAUGHTER Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Loren Boppart of Har­ vard, who are announcing the birth of a daughter. Loreene Kay was born March 1, and weighed 7 lbs., 2V2 ozs. Welcoming Loreene Kay at home are a brother, Stephen Allen who is 2V2 and foster sisters, Barbara, 13 and Christine, 11.

Though she has been a Harvard resident for several years now, Kathy tells us she still keeps up with the local news through the Plaindealer.

WEST INDIES CRUISE Veteran cruisers, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Meikel and daughter, Kathy, chose the West Indies for a two week vacation this year. After boarding a ship in Miami, they cruised to St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, which they tell us is a great place for shopping. Another stop was San Juan, Puerto, Rico, where ten year old Kathy, a fifth grader at Greenwood school, enjoyed touring the forts. A brand new port on the cruise was Cape Haitien, Haiti, which Mrs. Meikel found most interesting. Nassau was another highlight of their trip. The Sea Aquarium there has the largest fish tank in the world containing a conglomeration of all kinds of fish, sharks, whales, etc. Kathy's favorites were the porpoises, and if you ask her I'm sure she could tell you what it feels like to shake hands with a sea lion. WHAT AN AIRPLANE! What a ride! What an air­ plane! These are a few of the comments of Caren Walquist who took her first ride aboard a 747 airplane last Monday. She and hubby, Bill, flew to Los Angeles to visit an uncle of Bill's who had been hospitalized there and they were happy to report is coming along very well. Sitting a few seats behind the Walquists in this unbelievable creation that* is as high as a four story building and two city blocks long, were entertainer Ricky Nelson and his group, returning to Los Angeles after an engagement in Chicago. What better day than St. Patrick's, himself, to announce the birth of Erin Kathleen Kelsey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Kelsey of 7312 E. Northwood Drive. Erin was born March 10 and weighed 7 lbs. * 9 ozs. This little colleen's mother was formerly a librarian at Harrison school. Congratulations to the Kelseys on the birth of a very special child, their first. COSMOPOLITAN NEIGHBOR And a most happy St. Patrick's day to all of you! Our Irish neighbor Sharon, who is Promotions, Training Announced For Deputies Sheriff Arthur Tyrrell an­ nounced at a news conference last week that changes are continuing to take place in his d e p a r t m e n t i n c l u d i n g promotions and further training for his men in specialized fields. These men are being sent to various schools to perfect their special field of endeavors. Sgt. George Hendle of the Dctective division has been assigned to the Chicago Crime laboratory for two weeks to work on details in connection with homicide and rape crimes. March 28, Sgt. James Con­ nelly will begin a two-week course with the FBI narcotics school in Madison, Wis. Dctective Elof A. Borgeson is presently attending an arson married to that Frenchman, Larry Goulet, makes a great Swiss Fondue. Composed of shrimp, mushrooms and cheese, 'tis a slice of heaven! investigation school at the University of Illinois. Mrs. Elvera Carroll and Mrs. Inge Tyrrell will attend a two- day Police Matrons Training school at the Illinois Women's reformatory in Dwight. In compliance with a requirement set by the county board that all new men attend police training school, four men will be sent to the Police Training school in Champaign- Urbana at the end of May . Four more will be assigned the end of June and four the end of July. Sheriff Tyrrell announced that the Merit commission had recommended to the Sheriff's committee of the board of supervisors that they approve the creating of another position in the rank of major. At the present time, Tyrrell said the only major rank should be kept open for Chief Deputy John Carroll but that another should , be in effect now. The duties of a major are strictly ad­ ministrative, he said. The department now consists of fifty-five men, including the sheriff, chief deputy, three captains, Robert Crabtree, Henry Nulle and Robert Madsen; two lieutenants, Matthew Schalz and Gerhardt Vandervalk; five sergeants, William Mullen Samuel Haseas, James McLaughlin, John Scudella and George Meyers. The remainder are patrolmen. In addition to another rank of major, approved by the county board, there are to be three lieutenants and ten sergeants. Capt. Madsen heads the Detective division, Capt. Crabtree the Patrol division and Capt. Nulle the Ad­ ministration division. Tyrrell stressed he is hopeful of instituting a safety car which would be manned by Sgt. George Meyers. This project would en^jhasize safety to grade school children and help them look to police officers as a helping hand. The project would be funded through the Illinois Law Enforcement commission. Some of the $18,000 allowed could also be used to assist Algonquin and Johnsburg in obtaining radio and rescue squad equipment. Four men in the Sheriff's department are now working strictly on narcotics problems and the sheriff himself is holding "rap" sessions with students as well as appearing in schools of the county. He noted that he had received a call from a grade school principal who told him two girls were reportedly selling drugs. He agreed with a remark made at the conference that the older drug users are now turning to another fad such as health foods and Yoga. It appears he said, that the younger children are now the drug users. A deputy of seven months, Michael Zabroski, submitted his resignation recently, stating that he had received a better position in another field.
