PAGE 8 - PLAIXDEALER - WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 26,1975 Produce TV Show Restoration Plans Go Forward At St. John's Ron Wilson, left, of Crystal Lake and Penny Gee, Cary, with Howard Miller, MCC veterans' coordinator, during the production of MCC's first T.V. show. McHenry County college's audio visual department, headed by Doug Wilson, produced its first T .V. show this week. Featured on the show were Howard Miller, veterans coordinator at MCC, as moderator, Penny Gee, Cary, and Ron Wilson, Crystal Lake, as guests. The guests both served on the Ad Hoc Citizens Advisory committee which after a thorough study, made the recommendation to the MCC board of trustees that they Hustle - Bustle is a good expression of what is hap­ pening in the northeast corner of McHenry county in northern Illinois. In an old historic town of Johnsburg stands a 75-year old Catholic church, St. John the Baptist. The parish is ap­ proaching its one hundred and thirty-second year of existence. An entire year of celebration is planned by members in 1975 commemorating the present church's diamond jubilee3. However,the activity expresses from more than the Jubilee itself: "Restoration is the theme - Restoration is the talk - Restoration Program now is in action." This magnificient edifice can be seen for miles at any ap- conduct a referendum for a tax rate increase March 8. The topic of the show was the referendum. Immediate plans of the audio visual department include shooting one show a week for the next three weeks. All will contain information on the referendum and will feature different guests each week. February airing dates are Feb. 20, 25, and 27, on Channel 8, Elgin. The tin\e for all four dates is 6 p.m. proach. It has been already called "The County Cathedral in the Sky." Many original settlers and their descendants with well known German surnames are still residing in the area. The parish now has a 750-family membership with people from throughout the Pistakee area. The church itself has never had any real extensive repairs. Unfortunately, time has taken the toll and a great deal of renovation is needed. After long and serious consideration the Parish council decided to "restore St. John's." The Council knew it would take much funding to get the job done right, as well as a great deal of concentrated work. A decision was made to create a great deal of interest in parish activities. A yearly, schedule of events has been instituted with all proceeds earmarked for the restoration program. A diamond jubilee dinner dance, summer carnival, parish picnic, musical benefit per­ formance, turkey trot dance and the Christmas bazaar are the main events. The chief fund raising project which has been announced is called "St. John's 1975 Per­ sonality House in the Coun­ tryside." The house will be constructed entirely by parishioners with donations of materials, labor and site. Organizational planning is now under way, hoping to get support and help from hundres of parishioners. The "Per­ sonality House" is to be built on a 1-acre site in Windy Prairie Acres, a subdivision 24 miles northwest of the John­ sburg church. The $60,000-plus home will be offered after a year long program of soliciting 25,000 - $10.00 donations to the restoration program. The Johnsburg church hopes to be able to raise as much as $500,000 in the next eighteen- month program in order to actually start the authentic restoration of its church. The Johnsburg church would appreciate comments or suggestions. Free printed material will be furnished upon request by merely writing to Jerry Klein, Parish Council Chairman, 4010 N. Blitsch Place, McHenry, 111. 60050. The material includes a "History of the 132-year-old Historic Parish of Johnsburg," "1975 -76 Detailed St. John's Restoration Fund Program" and "The joy of being a parishioner at St. John's in 1975." On the Railroad of Education, no one ever reaches the end of the line, but many are lost at wayside stops.

Green Street McHenry, Illinois T T T Lakemoor-Lilymoor Alma Hueckstaedt • 385-5689 Sewers, Sewerage Treatment Plant Future Projects The last village meeting's business was dispensed with for an address by Mr. Hecht of Baxter and Woodman Engineers to relate to us our present priority position to receive grants from several state agencies which would enable us to build a sewer system and sewerage treat­ ment plant for a designated area. This designated area would encompass more than the corporate limits of the village of Lakemoor for future expansion. The grants would amount to 75 percent of the cost if the village meets all requirements. Letters have been .received from Governor Walker and the Illinois Environmental Protective Agency explaining the acelerated program for projects such as ours. The estimated cost of these two projects (before inflation) was $1,380,000. This estimate will be brought up to date with present cost. Your village board will be very busy the next few months getting all the necessary fundamentals under way for these projects; such as local financing completion, land acquisition for the treatment plant and easements for the sewer system, the completion of the plans and specifications, and determining what reviews will be required by the county and state agencies. Since this is a special program to cut red tape on major projects in the state all criteria is not available at this printing. Our projects were started in 1953. We have received two of the nineteen Northeastern Illinois high priority number grants. Special meetings will be held and in order to keep villagers informed of these meetings word-of-mouth will be relied upon. BICENTENNIAL COMMISSION NAMED A Bicentennial commission for the Village of Lakemoor was announced at the last meeting of the Board of Trustees. Residents who are members of several area organizations within the village and representative of several area organizations within the village and representative of different areas and interests were named. The group is to be chaired by Mrs. Garbacz, who is our representative of the McHenry County Bicentennial Commission. At this writing the twelve (12) person commission was not complete. TREE REMOVAL It has been determined that there are 89 dead trees on the village right-of-ways. Several of these trees are hazardous due to their proximity to wires and buildings. Funds have been allocated by the Lakemoor Village Board of Trustees for the removal of the most hazardous of these trees im­ mediately. The remainder of the trees will be removed when funds are available. RUMMAGE AND BAKE SALE A combination rummage- bake sale will be held on March 1 and 2 at the municipal building in Lakemoor from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Proceeds frofai the rummage sale will be turned over to the Rita Burton family to help them replace any items that may not have been donated during the collection of clothing and furniture following the fire that destroyed everything including the house the family lived in. The proceeds from the bake sale will go to the Parents-For- Youth Group, to help with the expenses of the Easter Egg ' Hunt that is scheduled ten­ tatively for April 6. I will be putting little reminders in the column up until that date, so you won't forget about it. Mark your calendar as a reminder of the rummage-bake sale. • To those of you who may be interested in knowing, the Rita Burton family will be living in the town of Carpentersville. GUEST Jim and Dottie Mentzer had a guest from Tucson, Ariz., during the past week. Mary Ann Adams moved to Tucson from Fox Lake, eight years ago, and this was her first trip back to these parts. What were then farms, are now houses. Mary Ann rode on the big shiny bird in the sky for the 1700 mile trip that took 2Vfe hours. Seeing a lot of old friends brought back memories. Having an eight inch snow fall during her visit was the reason why she moved to the eighty degrees of sunny Tucson. Besides memories, and some gifts, Mary Ann also took one good cold back home. THEATRE GOERS Dick and Cherie Mumma had a first time experience Feb. 14. They went to The Abbey in Wisconsin, to see "Last of the Red Hot Lovers" featuring Danatelle. Cherie reported "Lovers" is really a funny play. Dick said he enjoyed the evening very much. Both said it was a fan­ tastic way to celebrate Valentine's Day. Donatelle is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gorgo of Lakemoor. "A terrific ac­ tress", says Cherie -- "we're , looking forward to going again. , It's a great night of en- j tertainment and very inex- r pensive. I think everyone ( should treat themselves to the experience and enjoyment the , theatre can bring you." Also attending were Mrs. Gorgo, Donna's mother, and 'r Peter and John, Donna's sons. THOUGHTS TO PONDER Some days the feeling of love for others can only show itself r' to us if God rattles our teeth really good. This has been the feeling I received as I watched the people of McHenry County help a family in trouble. If anyone tells you God is dead, you can tell them He is alive and well, and lives in the hearts of all the kind people who have helped this family. Times are hard, so the giving was one of compassion for another human being. We sometimes get so in­ volved in our own lives we forget to reach out to other people and it takes a tragedy to make us look around at where we are, and where we are going. So Thank You God for living v in my town , because you have softened our hearts to someone else's need. The above was written by Sue Reese following the fire that destroyed the Rita Burton home a short time ago. Over 50 major movie productions have been filmed in area of Kanab, Utah, in the past 40 years. Smart drivers shop around Most of us compare car prices to get the best buy.
